Prince’s pep talk for the Three Lions

- BY JEREMY ARMSTRONG and ANDY LINES

in Doha, Qatar GARETH Southgate said his team had been treated to a pep talk by Prince William.

He said: “We actually had the future king come in and talk to the lads. The risk for us is because we played well the other day, we can just go through to the next game.

“We have got to find that reset button with the same determinat­ion – and I do see that in the players.”

Harry Maguire spoke of the “huge honour” of getting his 50th cap.

His wife, parents, brothers and sister will be among around 8,000 England fans cheering on the team.

An extra four million pints are expected to be poured in UK pubs during the game.
