Micah Richards takes aim at England for 'massive mistake' with Man City star Phil Foden

Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards believes that Gareth Southgate and England made a massive mistake failing to bring on Phil Foden against the USA on Friday.

It was a frustrating night for the Three Lions as they failed to break down a resolute United States side who were worthy of taking a point from the game. The result leaves England top of their group on four points and in a good position to qualify for the knockout stages.

However, they could have sealed qualification from Group B last night and many fans have criticised the manager for failing to making attacking changes sooner. When those substitutions were made, Southgate opted to bring on Jack Grealish, Marcus Rashford and Jordan Henderson in order to change the game, Foden however remained rooted to the bench.
