My three grandsons came for tea last night and insisted we watch the game. The youngest one who is a sharp as a tack 6-year-old asked why the black American players chose not to take the knee because he thought the English players do so because a black American got killed by the nasty white American police.
My eldest one who is 13 years old said it's because Southgate is a moron and does not have a clue what he's going on about.
I said nothing, because sometimes that's the best thing to do.
England were bloody awful by the way, and we all ended up having a rather raucous game of snakes and ladders while the game tapered out into a goalless draw.
The six-year-old ended the evening by claiming Burnley would win the World Cup if we had been allowed to enter it.
