Phil Foden had unleashed the blond bombshell look, à la Gazza, and he was ready to take Euro 2020 by storm. To say that it did not work out for the 22-year-old midfielder on an individual level is an understatement. Each and every detail went against him, the big ones, the small ones and even those over which he had no control.
It is a large part of the reason why Foden readily admits that England are yet to see the best of him. “Definitely not,” he says, after training in the searing heat of Qatar on Thursday lunchtime before England’s World Cup opener against Iran on Monday.
