England v Croatia, Brazil’s Shaky Start & Living in New York! | Stick to Football 133
6/16/20261 hr 51 min
Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by Sky Bet.
Gary Neville, Roy Keane and Ian Wright have arrived in New York for the World Cup, and there has already been plenty of action both on and off the pitch!
We begin by looking back on their first few days in the USA, from sightseeing around New York to watching the New York Knicks finally win the NBA Championship. What have been the team’s favourite moments and funniest stories so far?
Gary then sparks a debate as the team create a combined XI featuring England’s current World Cup squad and the side that reached the semi-finals in 1990. Are you picking Harry Kane or Gary Lineker? Jordan Pickford or Peter Shilton?
Attention then turns back to the football as we review the opening matches of the tournament. Has Brazil’s slow start against Morocco changed opinions, and are Germany now among the favourites after an emphatic win over Curaçao?
With England’s opening game against Croatia just around the corner, the team preview a crucial clash for Thomas Tuchel’s side. How important is finishing top of the group, and could defensive inexperience prove costly?
ITV7 returns to test the team's knowledge, before we finish with some of your community questions.

Just before we get started, I just wanted to say a big thank you to our partners Sky Bet, and please don't forget to subscribe if you like. I hope you enjoy this episode. So this, this jumper, um, 12 months ago, youngish woman, say mid-30s, uh, husband had a cardiac arrest and passed during a football match. So she set up this... Yeah, so she set up this, um, clothes company called Able Made, uh, around football. And the heart is basically her husband's heart. And unbelievably, she's done $4 million of revenue in year one for a business. So she's literally had this trauma in her life. She's down in reception, and, um, me and Roy bought jumpers and, uh, hoodies off her. She's just raised $2 million to take it sort of throughout America to raise awareness for cardiac, uh, arrests in foot- in sport and football.

Gary Neville· Host0:59
Yes, Ian, how are you?
Ian Wright· Panelist1:00
Tired.
Gary Neville· Host1:01
Why are you tired? Because you know why you're tired? I know why you're ti- Is it because of the drink? No, no, it's nothing to do with that.
Ian Wright· Panelist1:06
Right.
Gary Neville· Host1:06
I saw you with a jug of Picante last night on a rooftop, and you're now this morning gone under on us. Is that true?
Ian Wright· Panelist1:17
I can't stop drinking that Picante.
Gary Neville· Host1:19
[laughs] You can't stop drinking Picante?
Ian Wright· Panelist1:22
At Old Trafford when I had half left then, I didn't eat. I could... I felt like I was struggling.
Gary Neville· Host1:26
As I left you, I thought, "You've had about a gallon of Picante."
