Roy Keane, the former Republic of Ireland captain, could not resist trolling Gary Neville and Ian Wright as England were eliminated from the World Cup by Argentina. The world champions secured a 2-1 victory to set up a final against Spain on Sunday.
Keane's Pre-Match Prediction Comes True
Anthony Gordon had given England the lead, but second-half goals from Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez turned the match around. As Martinez scored the winner, Keane, watching alongside Neville and Wright on the Stick To Football World Cup Watch Party, said: 'I said he was going to score, didn't I say he was going to score? Martinez was going to score with the header, didn't I say? It's all down the right-hand side [to Messi]. What a game. I said Martinez would score, what an option he is off the bench.'
Wright and Neville React
A dejected Ian Wright noted Keane's pre-match prediction: 'You had 2-1 Argentina...' A smirking Keane responded: 'Who had 2-1 Argentina? Me?' Keane then turned to a dejected Neville: 'Give credit where it's due - it's his [Messi's] weaker foot. We are watching greatness here, I am telling you. We are watching greatness, appreciate it, seriously.'
