England losing to Brazil could prove to be a GOOD thing, claims Ian Ladyman on It's All Kicking Off... as he admits he's glad the Three Lions were beaten and insists 'a little reality check does nobody any harm' ahead of Euro 2024

Ian Ladyman has revealed he was pleased England lost to Brazil on Saturday night - insisting the Three Lions could do with a 'reality check' ahead of Euro 2024.

Gareth Southgate's side suffered their first defeat since the 2022 World Cup against the Selecao, with 17-year-old Endrick netting a late winner at Wembley to give the South Americans a 1-0 victory.

Despite having more possession and plenty of endeavour, England couldn't find the necessary quality to get back into the game, with Brazil's tenacity helping to ensure Dorival Junior won his first game since taking over.
