Proper Football with Sven-G枚ran Eriksson

Sven-G枚ran Eriksson joins Kammy and Ben to look back on his two World Cups in charge of England. He recalls upsetting Fergie, the chaos around David Beckham and his biggest error.

First half good, second half鈥ven better! Kammy and Ben are joined by former England manager Sven-G枚ran Eriksson for a trip back in time as he recalls taking charge of the Three Lions at the 2002 and 2006 men鈥檚 World Cups.

What does Sven say was his biggest mistake? Should he have been more like Winston Churchill at half-time against Brazil? What did Sir Alex Ferguson say (shout) when Sven told him he was taking an injured Wayne Rooney to Germany? Did inter-club rivalries hinder the side? And were the WAGS really one of the reasons for England鈥檚 failure to win in 2006?

Sven also gives his verdict on England鈥檚 chances in Qatar, states who he thinks is their key man for success and explains why he believes the tournament should never have been held there.

Also in this episode: how David Beckham was too big even for Real Madrid鈥檚 Gal谩cticos, the England鈥檚 squad reaction when the tabloids splashed on Sven鈥檚 private life and what advice should you give a defender when a prime Diego Maradona is absolutely ruining him?
