1:53Let's not get too negative, lads. Are we getting the game bit out of the way first? Might as well, aren't we? To a point, isn't it? Yeah, to a point. Great point I think I remember you saying throughout the game You always get one like this in a tournament Yeah, a shit one You move on Job done Can we move on now? As good as we were going forward the other day It looked a bit slow and pedestrian yesterday didn't it? Yeah, it reminded me of a Gareth Southgate team Waiting for something to happen Tell you what's doing my tits in The wingers What do wingers do now? Do you know like back in the day?

2:31Giggs, Kronchelskis, Rule Fox, Stuart Ripley. Stuart Ripley. What a shout that is, Ripley. Yeah. Well, he won the Prem Club, Blackburn. Very deep voice, if I remember. But they used to go out and get at the defenders, didn't they? And if they do it ten times and they get past them four, you've got four crosses in the box on each side, eight crosses in. Why do they not do it? The way it's gone, the winner, right-footed, left-winger, left-footed, right-winger. David Lee, he was good at that. Yeah, exactly. Franz Carr. Give us another old, who's the most old school Premier League? Andrej Kanchelskis.

3:11Yeah. Did I say him? Yeah, he was more central as well than Kanchelskis. Oh, out and out. Who's an out and out? In fact, you couldn't get more out and out. Yeah, Kincladsey. No, number 10. Is that who you get mixed up with? Yeah, that's where I'm getting confused. So as good as the fan park in Dallas was, a bit of a damp squid, that one, weren't it? Yeah. Yeah, Boston. Retail park. Think Horwich Retail Park. Yeah, it was. Yeah, Bowman fans would have been at home. Yeah. It was very spread out, weren't it? I mean, loads of England fans, though. Garnayans fans were good. Garnayans were brilliant.

3:48They got some good moves, them lads, haven't they? And the ladies. I thought you moved really well yesterday. I know I've given you a lot of stick, but your dancing was on. Which is surprising after being dropped from the top ropes. Yeah, you've hurt my neck. Have you? You really have hurt my neck. I'm having to get a massage. It could have been an hospital job, that. John picked me up out of nowhere on the shoulders and then just dropped me straight away. I did just drop you. I tried to retrieve the situation, babe. Do you know what it looked like, though? It looked like you were experienced at being in that position.

4:18Getting dropped? Yeah, because you styled it out. I did style it out quite well. It's as if you've been in that situation many a time before, but you've thought, I know exactly what I'm doing. I know the angle to fall, that. I managed to fall with Roll. So I apologise. I apologise for that. It was brace position when it had took Roll. Thing is, he's come away. Chris is on the deck. And he's come over going, oh, fuck me, it hurt that.

4:44Just dropped him from six foot four. Fucking hell. And my height as well, four foot three. On top of that. You've done 10 foot in, haven't you? The whole retail park was... Gasped. But we survived. That's Sergei Rae for booking that fucking, jumping off that building. But it all came from chatting to Andre the Giant. Yeah. I went for the old Crocodile Dundee one, because he went, can you lift him up? And he just sort of like lifted up like a four-year-old. Yeah. Basically, there was the biggest man I think I've ever seen, American guy, shirt on, big-eared, and he looked like Andre the Giant. and asked him to pick me up.

5:30It was a poor effort, really. I think that was it. You went, I'll show you what it's done. I went, that's not a knife. That's a knife. I went with the old, that's not a lift. That's a lift. You didn't look too stable getting in position, I thought. Well, I was drunk. I thought, this isn't going to end well. And then you disappeared for an hour and a half. Well, that's probably not... I need pulling about. We need to over here. Yeah, I think we'd all, I think we'd individually all got tired of pulling you around, tugboating you. And just thought, oh, fuck it. Leave him. Yeah, we're thirsty. To be fair, I was speaking to people, obviously, about the podcast, trying to do a bit of promotion for the New York show.

6:10I reckon we might have got 25, 30 guests here last night. We've seen a few, didn't we? Now coming. Yeah. So, you'll thank me in the long run. Yeah. But I were too drunk before the game. Vodka Gatorades. I couldn't, I was going under. Because the fan park wasn't, it was flat, wasn't it? Yeah. I thought I needed to get pissed. And then the game went flat. And then. Just a flat day. Two of the strongest margaritas ever. Now I'm a connoisseur. I know a strong one when I taste one. And these were bloody strong. And I was pissed in about 10 minutes. I was drunk for the game. But yeah. We had a long fucking, we had a long.

6:49trip, haven't we? Next stop, New York. Yeah, let's get in that wagon and get driving. Helicopters. Yeah, we've got some choppers. Oh, I'm not a big fan of helicopters either, if I'm honest. I'll be honest. I'm a bit scared of helicopters. I am. I've never been in one. No, I haven't been in one, but I'm scared of going in one. Yeah. Have you ever been in one? No. I have. No. No. Shit. Horrendous. I just don't. Just think of all those five in a Volkswagen Up. What, a Volkswagen Up? Or maybe a Fiat 500. Oh, no. It's tight. It's very tight. I'm not sitting in the middle regardless. You can't fart in an helicopter.

7:38No, you can't. You can't crack a window in an helicopter.

7:45No, you've got to smell it first, driver. You can't put the wind in hand until you just melt it. But we went into Boston after the game, and I have to say, England fans were on top form. There were congers going on. We were saying before the game, we need some, like the best songs, Maguire, Ford, and that we've had over recent years aren't in the squad. Yeah. Still getting sung though, aren't they? Oh, I'm slowing a bash. Yeah, so the new lads need some new songs. Yeah. It's strange, isn't it? Are the players not... Have the fans not got the same thingy with the players? Connection. Connection.

8:24And it's not a standard. Like Gordon and Maduiki. Yeah. It don't seem to be... Yeah. When it was Fordham, it seemed to be a bit of a national treasure. The woman next to me just kept calling Gordon Diana. Yeah. He looks like Princess Diana. She knew her stuffer, didn't she? Yeah. I don't think she'll be... I don't think he'll be starting next game. See? Tommy Tommy Tuchel. I know Steve Bracknell's been singing a song and I like it. It's from his brother's band, isn't it? Yeah. Reverend of the Makers. Yes. England's gonna bring it home with Tommy Tuchel. Yeah. I like it. Catchy. Have you seen Bentley?

9:06Oh, yeah, did we? He walked past me. I was talking to a lot of people. I was talking to somebody who just wanted a photo and she actually went, oh, wait a minute, wait a minute. I want one with David Bentley first. He's not here, is he? He got subbed for Bentley. Not a bad sub. No. And I turned around and he's there. I've gone up. I've grabbed him from behind it. I think he thought, what the fuck? And I just went, you sausage. Where did he go? Woo. What a man. I think his cameraman must be exhausted. Oh, he looked like a broken man. I was chatting to him. He looked like a broken man. The cameras were, he had his, put his camera away, and Bentley's still stopping traffic and that.

9:49Dave, just have a day off. Yeah. A five minute. Where that man gets his energy from, I do not know. Absolutely class, man. Unbelievable. You know, some of the orders are, Jäger Meister last night, and I thought, right, it's time for me to go. Time for me to go. I don't want anything to do with that. So I pretended to be on the phone, walked out the bar, but out the bar went to book an uber they fucking see the data had gone in it carmela it's all I'm not doing it I've got no internet so I'm like what do I do so I've walked up a couple of blocks ask from this is where we get to taxi from so no I'm not sure man but walk down this way soft box and a couple of blocks that way and luckily I've seen a taxi and I've sprint I had it was a sprinted for it.

10:38The thing is, I will make it to you, and Louise's sister's fella's here, and I think you're more glad that they're here than I am, because you know that... They'll stop out of you. You can just drop your shoulder. For Friday Club listeners, I went into the early hours with Mr. Copping last night, and what a beautiful man. He is everything that I expected from the email. He is a very, very good looking man. I think it would have moved by with Jäger. So thanks Copping, but Oh, no thanks. It's a lovely gesture. We're in two parts again, aren't we? Obviously after the game, in our previous recording.

11:16Yeah, we were full of hope. We still are, at this point yesterday. Still are. Still not sang Three Lions. I'm not going to sing it. I mumble the verses a bit, but I'm not doing the chorus. I don't think it's counted if you don't belt it out loud, really loud. If you're still going... I think that's still class as singing it. I'm not singing it's coming home. But, so, you'd like to think we'd beat Panama, top of the group. Yeah. Job done. Move on. Yeah. Until the last 32, is it then? That many permutations on who can play next. Yeah. The one that people came up yesterday and went, you're playing America on July the 4th.

11:57I don't think we are. Yeah. It could happen though. That could happen. Apparently there's no games on July the 4th. Oh, right. No, stay off. a few people have told me that yeah it's bullshit

12:15yeah that's what I always thought it was interesting crotch angle Matthew fantastic yeah just see the tentacles huge compliments very weighty you've got three balls look like they need a release then Matthew Have you still got your blue balls? Up the cosh. Up the cosh. You might get bored of this, but we need to say a massive, massive thank you to Batano. Little boredom here, John. We're going to keep saying thank you, because without him, we wouldn't be here, lads. Now, you might be seeing a lot of Batano at this World Cup with their LEDs at every game, because they're the official supporter of the 2026.

13:04USA I saw the boards at the England game going round yes I did I it's not an energy drink I need to say thanks to Batano because I've put my first bet on in about four years at the football because I thought we're here they're supporting us they're supporting the World Cup I'll put a bet on five games all come in winners including Portugal Portugal drew I know they did but I stupidly didn't put it on the games to win I'd bet on the toss who'd win the toss as if that's even a thing which I didn't realise after six pints as if that's a market it did me well I won the toss I know I was fuming because Portugal had drew it paid out I had a look on app I was like did Portugal win?

13:48did Portugal no I'd bet on the toss I was just saying yesterday it's user friendly to use the app it's not fuming by a few pints deep it's not really with the app it's user error that's what it was That's not because, sir. No, but yeah, massive thanks to Betano. And as under the Cosh listeners and viewers, we've got an unbelievable offer. 40 to 1 on England to reach the quarterfinals.

15:19It's not all glitz and glamour, by the way. I'm going to take a picture of what I can see. and a Zoom on a Costco Kids Play Yard that our camera number three is resting on. Wish you'd done your hair, George. Yeah.

15:40What a set up that is, eh? It's unbelievable. Rio Ferdinand would be having a fucking kittens, wouldn't he? Hey, Jesus Christ. The first video's obviously out. now if everybody's seen it or not seen it that was a good first leg of the trip I felt but the second leg has been unbelievable for me I think better can I just I know people just have every World Cup in America for me have everyone in America where are we going next Saudi Arabia well that is a fucking shambles maybe we could dip into Europe as well I still think it's missing somewhat though. Even Qatar, all of the fans work together. That's the balance, isn't it?

16:28We don't care about you going to ranches and stuff, Chris. You want a good time yourself, but there's nothing to do with the football. All I mean is it's been good, hasn't it? Are you going to get line dancing in Saudi Arabia? Exactly. That's a very good point. I'll tell you what you're not going to get, a frozen margarita. I know. But like you said, it's balance. Qatar was great for all the fans being together it was so small you'd see Brazilians everybody you were mixing with everyone were you struggling for other country then you'd see Brazilians and Mexicans you'd see everybody but I do know what you mean we've not mixed with that we've seen a couple of Swedish the other night who else we've seen some Scots here and there sprinkling of Americans I think we've seen lots of cowboys overall it's far too expensive Chris you know for the normal person yeah it is it's a it's a big job innit yeah it's sticking with you it's expensive everywhere now innit we had got we had got a studio book for this recording but we had to knock your head yeah and that and that luckily there's a camera was on a light but the light's about to bend so it's too heavy for it so that's gone but the second video is out tomorrow what was your favorite part activity activity obviously the game will be involved uh just that four days in austin has been whether that comes across in the video but i didn't i wasn't bothered about leaving vegas i wasn't bothered about leaving la but i was i want to use the word sad yeah even austin the people the atmosphere on that street some of the food we had the places we went the people for me I'd recommend Austin if you're ever doing a yeah it's a great city on the first video I've got a bit of a bollocking for you Matthew so you made us jump off a great high building right and it never even made the cut I'm petrified not even close not even on the fucking video.

18:42Could you replicate that noise you made? Could anybody ever replicate? Go on. You want me to try and do it? Yeah, go on. It was a bit of a... There was more goating than that. It was very goating. I'm sorry I've not just jumped off a fucking 20 ,000 foot building or whatever it was. We do need to get that out though, just for the noise. And then there was this. How many feet was it? meters? 490, I'm going to say. So you've got to step off the top of the stratosphere. He's gone with a goat, and then to protect himself, he's given one of these. Hands over the eyes. As if, like, it's not happening.

19:24I just didn't want to see out. But there's line dancing, there's horse riding, there's clearing shit out, dressing him as a, well, saddling him up. Meat. Lots of meat. Yeah. I never thought I'd say this. A meat. That I'm meat at heart. I know, I can tell. Oh, you've opened a tin of worms. That's why you came in for me then, by the way. Fuck me, drunk. That's my shirt, that, and it's still too tight for you. No, it's not. You cannot, you have no leg to, you can't call anybody fat, John. You can't, you're not allowed to. You're not allowed to. We are in this company. You can't, when you've got the medical version of pretty much having a muzzle on your face because you can't stop eating, that's what you've got, really, isn't it?

20:13You can't be calling other people fat. Do you feel as though you're fat at the minute? Well, put a bit of weight on. Fat? No, not fat. No? That's what we're here for, though, to enjoy ourselves, lads. Yeah. And I work hard when I get home. But we were in that piano bar the other night, and there was a lass walking around selling them syringe jelly shots. He went, get us one of them. I'll stick one in, see if it'll do the job. I'm due a dose. He says.

20:43So it was halfway through. My brother must have been half cut, but he said, keep up the good work, Mara. If you're missing home, don't worry. It'll be here when you get back. Enjoy it. Just what you needed. Julian, let me know. I need something like that. We're day 14 today. Is it? We've seen 90 minutes of football. Day 14. Live football. Who's the, I know we haven't seen many fans, like you said, but who do you think's top of the tree for fans making an impression? I've got two, just from what I've seen online, set to fans. It's got to be Scotland, hasn't it? Scotland and Norway. Norway as well, yeah, and the Mexicans, I was going to say is number two.

21:28Oh, Mexicans. Are the big drinkers the Norwegians? Are they just enjoying themselves? They're like rowing. I just see them rowing everywhere. Have you seen it? Up the escalators. Up the escalators. And then I saw them doing yoga. Have you seen them doing yoga? Yeah, well, I saw some doing yoga and some rowing. I think the others were rowing. But they were doing it on the pitch last night, weren't they? Yeah. What do you think is going to win the Golden Boot? Because it's tight at the top, isn't it? I'll tell you something who's not going to win it. Cristiano yeah he's got his work cut out hasn't he?

22:05Do you honestly think that it's Martinez their manager innit? Yes. Do you think he's like between games talking to his staff saying we need to drop him don't we? Can we drop him? You tell him we need to drop him. Has he alluded to something in a contract? I think I've seen something, I might be wrong because sometimes I am but I'm sure he said I should never have signed the contract with the clause in it somewhat along them lines who said this, Cristiano or Martinez? Martinez, so that alludes to the fact that he's got to play him it's in his contract that is mental which we don't, that's whispers in it this could be another 1.8 billion factor speaking of that the addition to the squad that didn't quite make it that we thought had elliot bennett has been in touch on it not happy i haven't actually listened to this shall play it down this gives an update of his summer has he

23:11gatorade's a nice drink by the way i might take that home with me pretty nice for you to drop a vodka in that might be my drink of choice today wasn't that you want in germany oh powerade powerade oh we're gonna go gatorade vodka a gate bigger bottle as well i think you can hydrate well dehydrated it's one thing that the americans do well which i've been taking on board first i was when they said yo you need it you need to hydrate between drinks they never seem like hammered like those other and they'll have they'll have two or three pints and then they'll have a pint of water yeah well we've bumped into a couple of lads out there didn't we and they were having water in between tequila and they're still cracking on.

23:54Yeah, might be the future. Right, I'll go with Ben O's. Three pints and a powerhead. I'll get a raid. Good morning, fellas. I hope you're all enjoying America. Yeah, very disappointed I didn't get the call up this year. Thomas didn't even bother to ring me to go with the squad. I'm glad that you lot found it really funny that I wasn't there, though. I wish I was out there with you guys, though. That looks great fun. I'll be watching from home in the pubs with the rest of the country, you know, hoping that we can bring it home this year. Today is a day of village fate for me, so I'll be opening the local village fate, so that's what I'm doing instead of being in America for England's World Cup journey, which, as you can tell, I didn't get the call-up for, so thanks for that.

24:44I think you could have made the difference. Do you think? Yeah. I know, but let's be right about it. Who would have opened the village fate? Exactly. If he were over here, the fate's fucked. The fate is on its knees. I tell you what, I know you're half joking, but have you seen that he's said that he's not going to play Saka? Because he doesn't think he's fit? He doesn't think he's fit? Yeah. Wow. Saka's apparently saying he's fully fit, but who shall say he's not planning on going to use him? Like, start him. Until he thinks he's fit. One of the first comments was, well, surely it's a waste of the place in the squad then.

25:19Yeah. I wonder when he knows he's fit. I wonder if it's like Martin O 'Neill, you know, there and back in 90 seconds, go. Just pluck a figure out the head. So is it worth Benno just keeping on his toes, just in case he sends Saka home and gets him in? Message him back, Jordan, just say, keep warm. Keep on the standby. Hope the village fate went well. Obviously, we all mentioned Scotland then. What do you think of the rivalry from the Scottish fans? They actually hate us, don't they? Oh, aye. Yeah, they do. I'm still with Alfa. I hope they do well. I'm not arsed. Like, I don't know. Is it a jealousy thing?

26:01Good job. Well, I saw one clip of... It looked like an English... I might have just done for a few Scottish fucking listeners. It was basically a pub, a beer garden, full of England fans, and one Scottish fella's walked in. with Scotland colours on and everyone just stood up and started singing Scotland Get Battered everywhere they go. Yeah. I felt a bit sorry for them because the lad was half joining in looking a bit Yeah. Nervous and that. But I don't think that's just crack in it. Yeah. But I still felt sorry for them. Fuck him. But I think any But if a Norway fan had come in would they have started singing Norway?

26:41They started rowing, wouldn't they? Or trying to take the piss in whichever way they would we could. Yeah. I'm sure if an England fan walked into McSporran Arms up in Scotland. He'd get some stick. Yeah, of course he would. That's just part and parcel innit? Quick break gents for one of our favourite partners that have been the saviours of this trip numerous times. I know for you John. NordVPN. Yes. Bouncing your location back to the UK on numerous occasions. I never thought I'd need it or want it but the BBC and ITV punditry. Yeah. I've missed. It's second to none compared to Fox, ESPN. Sorry, chaps.

27:25But it's true. Yeah. So I can officially confirm in the state of Nevada, you do not have to confirm that you are over 18. In the state of Texas, you do need to prove it to watch certain sites. You understood the assignment and you produced. Yeah, cautious. You had to bounce your location. Back to Norway. I see, I see. Well, if you don't know what a VPN is, you can bounce your location to anywhere in the world, which is ideal if you want to watch the TV that's on back at home while you're away, or you're at home and you want to watch something that's not on in your own country. It's been a while since I've been away, but it's great to see the security still.
