Gareth Southgate has guided England into the last 16 of the World Cup finals in Russia, but he took time from his busy schedule - where he is plotting the downfall of Jose Pekerman's Colombia, to give the MGB youngsters a memorable send-off.

In a recorded message, Southgate said: "Just to send a message to everyone involved with the U16 football teams heading out to the Maccabi Games.

“I hope you have a fantastic experience, good luck, enjoy it take it all in. Enjoy the football but also the whole occasion.

“I look forward to hearing all about it when you get back.”

Look out for updates on Maccabi GB squad at the Youth Games later this month.
