To-infinitive

It's nice to play some different teams in competitive games, quite a few games with Gracia recently in Switzerland.

Past simple

So I was all of the group's heir, quite tough on really good fixture with Belgium as well as a team we have played so much in the last couple of years.

Gareth Southgate reflected in today's Nations league draw.

Once again England, Denmark, Belgium on Iceland foretell about natural draw.

Where do you think we, the public, if you are with this tune?

Because we're all a bit suspicious, not quite sure that it got to the final last year.

What do you make of it is a competition, you know, I think there's a lot of confusion and I still think there is a lot of confusion I saw in an interview about six months ago and they asked Harry McGuire, you know about it and he kind of said We don't even know his players.

You know what there is, But I think what I like about it is there's there's more urgency and I think people want to win more.

I think I watch thing than friendlies in the past and it just seems like, you know, there's not really an atmosphere.

People just kind of go through the motions.

But I think certainly from what I've seen from this, people want to win, and it just has a better feeding about it.

That, you know the prize isn't quite known or understood by anyone now and yet we all wanna win it.

So it's a But you looked at that England team, you know, the way they celebrated the winds in Spain and, you know, winds over over in before the tournament selling it on the mini tournament in the summer.

It just seemed Thio lack that bit of that bit zealousness a bit a bit of impetus in that summit because it feels when it waas.

I think the fact that the games during the winter or during the international breaks in the autumn were were better because they had a bit more spice to it.

But then it did kind of feel like that that many torment in the summer had sort of that end of season feel to it, so I don't know whether that's due to the success of the England Games in relative fixtures or in the respective pictures or whether it's just It was that time of year that everyone really wanted to go in their holidays and it was kind of in between.

It was years where there wasn't a major tournament, but no from where we were, really.

And though it's it's better for having virtually no friendlies, I think it's added much less.

You know, I think there's nothing worth and I've been involved in a number of England Friendly's where you go and you know I'm not pretending to be injured, but their managers don't want to go because it's a friendly and stuff like that.

Yeah, you know, after an hour, it's 11 changes on you that the came as God as a field.

You don't even know who the best team is anymore because it's changed that much and so it's it's kind of it becomes meaningless after a while, so I think that to play there's nothing like playing to win, and that's what it brings.

One thing that makes me happy is I think Gareth Southgate's done a fantastic job of making the England fans fall back in love with the team again.

Following on from the success of the Euros and World Cup and stuff like that.

I think there were times when not many people going to Wembley to watch the games because, you know, it was kind of like players weren't really playing their best.

But I think the country's falling back in love with the England national team again and that certainly makes me happy because I feel more enthusiastic now.

Tow watch us, as opposed to a couple of years ago, would be a bit like old.

I'm like excited to watch England play on.

I think South Gate in the players, you know, more exciting now they seem more free forever.

Reason and I certainly look forward to what England games now, whether that's because of the nation's vagal traditional friendly, I just feel there's a different feeling about the squad and the team and that makes me encouraged to watch.

Let's have a look at the draw in full, starting with the top half of the drawer, if you like.

And you have to say, even though we're not sure what the prize is.

A back draught could have been an awful, awful lot worse.

Well, you know, all of a sudden you say, Well, what's a good draw?

I think that I think no one wants to finish bottom of a group and lose games.

But you want to be tested against the best and you know you're looking at it and there's some great teams in there.

Will we all want to play against the best teams?

But you look at the other two games and say, Well, actually, they're gonna bring different tests on Iceland.

There are very, very good and I feel like I've showed, you know, with the fans and passionate.

They have their team that they have their work well together and I think that way.

Unfortunately, I asked, you were not fancy being in Group three.

You walk off a player and you play these international games.

Well, who did you play against in your career?

Anything played against this player against that play?

If you will get through, you don't get battered by the mall, but I don't want an easy drawer.

So you're saying on the eve of a tournament, you two, you'd rather have the toughest role possible?

Not necessarily the toughest, all possible.

But you know, like Rob said, you want to play against the best.

And I think sometimes in the women's game in the past, they've strategically tried to do these games.

You don't play against the tougher opposition or if you win this game, and I think England did it before as well.

When they want to tie again, then I will know we play in the semifinal.

If we do it this way and I don't like that, I think you should try and win every game not to be like, Well, if we tighten and we draw this game, then we'll get to play a week or a position that that's no.

But I wouldn't necessarily want us to get all of the best teams in the world.

Quite sure what it is because it goes from a league t o t o knock out, but it's over eight months.

So, you know, it's kind of we're still a bit confused over whether it's a tournament or no.

Let's not forget the rest of the home nations because, of course, they were involved in the drawer.

I think you got stopped in there who are gonna play Israel in the playoffs in a few weeks time.

But yeah, I think it's gonna be It's gonna be good for Northern Ireland.

They gonna be looking at it with the new manager going into learning a new way of playing, you'd imagine?

I think that would be a pretty tough game.
