TV comedian Rob Beckett shared his thoughts on England’s World Cup chances, considering them as underdogs but with potential for victory. Beckett expressed his belief that England could reach the final, acknowledging France as the favorites. He enjoyed the tournament and praised its excitement.

During England’s match against Mexico in New York, Beckett joined Gary Lineker to watch and discuss the game for Lineker’s podcast. Reflecting on the intense match, Beckett found it unforgettable. Due to late game timings, he often watches matches in the morning before his children go to school.

Beckett, known for his comedic persona, refrained from wild celebrations during this year’s tournament. In the past, he gained attention for his exuberant post-match antics, notably after England’s victory over Germany at Euro 2020.

Having two daughters with his wife, Beckett revealed his family’s keen interest in the matches, especially concerning the upcoming game against Norway. Despite the public perception of football stars, Beckett emphasized that they are ordinary people accomplishing extraordinary feats. He praised players like Harry Kane and Jack Grealish for their talent and personality.

Looking ahead, Beckett is set to appear on the television show “Celebrity Traitors” and continues to appreciate the unifying power of football in society. He acknowledged the challenges faced by footballers, including scrutiny and the complexities of fame and fortune.
