England is getting criticized by soccer experts for their underwhelming performance against the USA. The match ended in a goalless draw where people are praising the approach of team USA. One man getting trolled the most is Gareth Southgate.

Gary Neville had critical remarks about the English player

Throughout the matches leading to the World Cup, Gary Neville had hard words to say about Alexander-Arnold. During a discussion, he said, “It’s a really tough one with Alexander-Arnold, his brilliance going forward is out of this world. But we’re talking about knockout football. Whether England win or lose in a World Cup is going to be down to moments. A mistake – concentration. In this moment in time, I can’t see how Gareth can go into a knockout game in a World Cup playing Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The soccer analyst seems to have changed his mind as during the USA vs England post-match show, he said, “We haven’t got that now and that’s fine, no panic here. Other nations, France, Spain, Brazil, would have Trent Alexander-Arnold and Foden in their starting 11. I understand it from watching it a little bit, having watched Trent Alexander-Arnold. You see, a game of that where we lack creativity. You think them two players should really be in there?
