About this episode
Theo Walcott and Jermaine Defoe join Wayne Rooney to revisit one of England's most controversial World Cup decisions.
Did England get it right by taking a 17-year-old Walcott to the 2006 World Cup? Was Defoe unlucky to be sent home after travelling with the squad? And what really went wrong with Sven’s and Capello’s teams?
The trio relive the highs, heartbreaks and untold stories from England's World Cup campaigns, before giving their verdict on Thomas Tuchel's current squad and England's chances of finally going all the way.
