Alan Shearer tackling Simon Schama is the best thing about the England game apart from the result
Alan Shearer was among the BBC pundits ahead of England’s World Cup opener against Tunisia but historian Simon Schama wasn’t entirely happy with his pre-match advice to Gareth Southgate’s team.
It prompted this response from the former England captain.
You do know that I have played in these games right? https://t.co/dyzvsH9Olp

At some point, Schama's going to have to show that he can power a header in from the nine-yard-box because Alan's lack of knowledge about art history is not in question
