Emotional Wayne Rooney speech to England players stopped a Gareth Southgate rant
An emotional speech from Wayne Rooney was the only thing keeping England’s players from a Gareth Southgate rollicking.The players had just left the Wembley pitch following their 3-0 win against the USA and the manager was not happy with some of the defensive work in the second half.1

Rooney was playing in his 120th and final game for England

It was all good from an attacking perspective, but Southgate thought his players switchedoff defensively after the break, and was ready to let them have it.Except Rooney, who was close to tears, was talking to his team-mates.I didnt like us as much without the ball, and they got through us too easily, and we didnt play with discipline in the end, Southgate said after the match. If we do that [against Croatia] on Sunday, we will lose.We havent had that discussion because Wayne gave a really nice speech at the end and I didnt want to rain on his parade, but well be making that point. We have to play with intelligence right through the game. England cannot afford to slip up against Croatia, as a defeat will relegate them to League B of the Nations League and condemn them to fixtures against lesser opposition in the next cycle.A goalless draw would result in Spain winning the group and Croatia being relegated despite the World Cup finalists beating Luis Enriques 3-2 side last night.The team, though, are in good hands according to Rooney, England’s top scoring player with 53 goals.

I think its in very safe hands from what Ive seen this week,” he said. “Its a great group of young players who have a really bright future. Im sure in the next few years they will go close to bringing a trophy back. Ill be one of the fans supporting them.He also thinks Harry Kane, who has 19 goals in 34 games, will eventually surpass his haul.Before the game I asked Harry to present me with the award because I believe he will beat my goalscoring record and I look forward to presenting him with the trophy, he added.
