Do Not Doubt Cristiano Ronaldo | England Result Overreaction?

After watching England’s draw with Ghana at a local bar in West Hollywood, Rio is joined by Ste Howson and Joel Beya to look at what England needed to break down an organised defence. There’s praise for Rio’s former assistant manager at Manchester United, Carlos Queiroz, who led the Ghanaian side and Rio reveals his former team mates were reminded of Queiroz’s coaching sessions during his time at Old Trafford. And after Cristiano Ronaldo’s 2 goals - Rio also has a bone to pick with both of his co-hosts who seemingly wrote off the prospect of Ronaldo performing and leading Portugal to the latter stages of the tournament. The trio debate whether it’s time for Thomas Tuchel to start Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford who both made positive impacts off the bench for the second match in a row and Ste details why England’s tactics were frustating to watch. 00:00 Intro: Tuning in Live from Barney’s Beanery in West Hollywood 01:13 Group Stage Overreactions: Why Group Stage Slumps Don't Define Champions 02:51 Breaking the Low Block: Comparing Ghana’s Rigidity to Elite Nations 03:05 Tactical Timing: Assessing Thomas Tuchel's Impact Substitutions 03:47 Selection Dilemmas: Should Bukayo Saka & Marcus Rashford Finally Start? 04:42 Typical Carlos Queiroz: How Ghana's Well-Drilled Unit Echoed Old Trafford Sessions 05:31 African Strength: The Outrageous Physicality of the Black Stars 05:49 Moving the Ball Quicker: Ste’s Frustrations with Conservative Wing Play 07:33 Where’s the Risk?
