THIS is the video that Gareth Southgate will be showing his England stars as motivation to send Wales packing from the World Cup.
The Three Lions take on the Dragons in the crunch Group B final game tonight in Qatar.
The bore draw with the Americans meant that Southgate’s side missed out on the chance to secure early last-16 qualification.
Wales face major problems of their own as the 2-0 loss to Iran means that the Welsh need a miracle to progress to the next round.
But the Dragons CAN still mathematically get out of Group B if they were to beat bitter rivals England and hope that Iran can hold USA to a draw.
In the scenario that Rob Page’s side can triumph 4-0, they would knock the Three Lions out of the World Cup.
It is the first time meeting between the bordering British nations since the Euro 2016 clash that England won 2-1.
But it would be Wales who went on to create history by reaching the semi-finals while England were dumped out in the knockouts by the shock defeat to Iceland.
That marked one of, if not the, lowest night in the history of the English national team – and Wales could not help rubbing it in.
Clips of Gareth Bale and Co wildly celebrating the defeat to Iceland wound up Three Lions’ players, staff and fans.
HOW TO GET FREE BETS ON THE WORLD CUP
And when asked if the video has been used as a motivational tool, boss Southgate replied yesterday: “I couldn’t say! We are aware of some of that.”
SunSport on Sunday reported how Luke Shaw admitted Wales’ taunting “wasn’t nice” and the England star vowed his team-mates will do their talking on the pitch.
And Jack Wilshere, who played for England that night and is Sun Sport’s exclusive World Cup columnist, said: “When that video came out of Wales celebrating our defeat by Iceland at Euro 2016, I was raging.
“We’d been knocked out in the last 16, which was one of the lowest points of my career — and here they were dancing on our grave.
“OK, so they had their fun, but then they can’t blame me for being delighted when they got knocked out by Portugal in the semis.
“As an England group we never talked about the video after the game.
“We were flying back the next day, lost in our own thoughts, but I’ve learned since that a lot of the players felt the same way as me.”
