Fabio Capello has launched a scathing attack on Jordan Pickford for the role he played in England’s World Cup exit at the hands of France.
England suffered yet more penalty heartache as France, the reigning World Cup holders, advanced to the semi-finals on Saturday night. Didier Deschamps’ side claimed a 2-1 win at the Al Bayt Stadium.
Aurelien Tchouameni swept France into a first-half lead from 25 yards before Harry Kane restored parity when he converted from the penalty spot nine minutes into the second-half after Bukayo Saka was brought down inside the box.
