Pundit criticises Tottenham friendliness.
Pundit Lee Dixon criticised the friendliness of Tottenham Hotspur’s England and Belgium players during their World Cup match.
Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Kieran Trippier were seen at half-time chatting to opponents Toby Alderweireld, Mousa Dembele and Jan Vertonghen.
This raised the ire of ITV pundit Lee Dixon, who criticised them for being so laid back.
The former Arsenal defender hit out at the Spurs players, from both teams.
Dixon told ITV: “I don’t know it’s Tottenham so they would do something weird. If it was me I wouldn’t be talking to my club team mates.”
The players would likely have been acting differently had there been more at stake.
The two teams had already qualified for the knockout stages and so the match felt more like a friendly than a World Cup match.
Belgium won 1-0 through a goal from Adnan Januzaj, and England face Colombia in the next round.
Tottenham duo Davinson Sanchez and Harry Kane will be opponents, and might not quite be so friendly.
