He's probably happy for him. They grew up together, and if he thought he was better than Eddie enough to force his way into the side he'd probably have stayed I reckon lol.
I understand where Flo is coming from, Southgate has his favorites and higher chance of starting with the US. They may not amount to anything but there's no guarantee with England. Eddie deserves this call up, I just hope he gets minimal time to lessen the chance of injury 😂
