USMNT head coach Gregg Berhalter has revealed that Gareth Southgate has started to ignore his text messages ahead of their World Cup clash with England taking place on Friday.
The Three Lions take on the USMNT in their second clash of Group B, with the knowledge that victory could be enough to secure qualification, and even top spot depending on how things play out between Iran and Wales. The USMNT remain full of confidence despite being clear underdogs, and Berhalter has attempted to message the England boss ahead of the game.
Berhalter holds a friendly relationship with the England boss as the USMNT head coach once spent a season at Southgate's beloved Crystal Palace back in 2001. Although they weren't in the same side they've developed a friendship, but Southgate has put personal feelings to one side as he focuses on the job in hand.
