'I'm disappointed for Watkins - he never got a sniff'
Former Aston Villa striker Gary Thompson has expressed his disappointment that Ollie Watkins did not get any game time during England's World Cup semi-final defeat by Argentina on Wednesday. Watkins only played six minutes during the tournament - as a late substitute in the dead rubber final group game against Panama - and was not turned to by Thomas Tuchel as the Three Lions chased the game in Atlanta. Instead, the German bought on three defenders with the score at 1-0, and Ivan Toney and Marcus Rashford after Argentina turned it round to lead 2-1.
