Andy Dunn of the Daily Mirror has a different gripe with FIFA: their plans to revamp the World Cup format.. But this is a strange way in which to make that point:
European teams had 12 qualification spots for the 2022 World Cup. That is only planned to increased to 16 for the tournament in 2026. Not sure Wales or any other teams who do not regularly reach the finals will just be ‘satisfied’ if they make it.‘In any profession, the chances of someone having a pop at their manager while still under his or her command are slim and none.
‘But when the microphones and cameras are off, these England footballers say exactly the same thing as they do in public. Playing for Southgate, training under Southgate, being in camp with Southgate, is an absolute pleasure. Hard work, thorough, but a pleasure.’
