How Good Are England Trent Regret & Was Saka Rushed Back?
6/29/20261 hr 43 min
Welcome back to another episode of Stick to Football, brought to you by Sky Bet!
Gary Neville, Roy Keane, Ian Wright and the returning Jill Scott react to England's win over Panama and assess where Thomas Tuchel's side stands heading into the Round of 32. Are England genuine contenders, or are there still major questions to answer?
The panel discuss Jude Bellingham's standout display, Harry Kane's influence, and whether Bukayo Saka has been brought back too soon after injury. They also assess England's wide players and ask which winger is ready to hit top form at the business end of the tournament.
With Reece James ruled out through injury, the team debates England's options at right-back after Jarell Quansah stepped into the role against Panama, and whether Tuchel should have taken Trent Alexander-Arnold to the World Cup.
Later in the show, Duncan Ferguson joins the panel to reflect on Scotland's tournament, Steve Clarke's decision to step down, and what comes next for Scottish football.
Plus, the gang rounds things off with another edition of ITV7 and answers more of your community questions.
