Speaking on BBC Match of the Day ahead of England’s quarter-final clash with Switzerland, Ferdinand said:

“They have qualified top of the group and they have won the first knock-out game and his [Southgate’s] substitutions have impacted games.”

He added, “Yes, like everyone else I want to see a better performing England, but they are getting the job done and they can win this tournament playing ugly.”
