England’s Eric Dier admits thinking international career may have been over | Qatar issues a ‘difficult situation’ | Football News

Eric Dier admits he feared his England career was over after missing last summer’s run to the final of the Euros.

England suffered a heartbreaking loss on penalties to Italy in the final, but Dier missed the tournament altogether after being dropped due to a poor run of form. The Tottenham defender was part of both the Euro 2016 and 2018 World Cup squads.

But an upturn in fortunes saw him end a 22-month period in the international wilderness in September, with Dier starting both Nations League matches.

Dier brings plenty of experience to Gareth Southgate’s squad and the 28-year-old could complete an impressive turnaround if he features against Iran on Monday.

“I’d be lying if I said I didn’t think that (my England career was over) was a possibility,” he said. “Obviously those thoughts go through your mind.

“When I missed out on the Euros squad, obviously one of the worst moments for me in my career. But I always say when I say that I must have had a pretty good career if that’s one of the worst moments.

“I’m just grateful to be here now. It was good for me in many ways. It propelled me to play, for me, the best football I’ve played in my career.

“So, there’s always the positives to look from it but obviously those thoughts crossed my mind and you see with other players (they do not come back).

“I’m very proud of myself, how I managed to fight my way back in.”

Infantino

FIFA president Gianni Infantino gave a bizarre speech on the eve of the World Cup, which has been called ‘astounding’ and ‘misleading, disrespectful and offensive’

Dier also said it would be wrong to ignore off-field matters in Qatar but admits constant questions about the cloud hanging over this World Cup is dampening players’ excitement.

The Gulf nation’s human rights record, treatment of migrant workers and oppressive LGBTQ+ laws have dominated the build-up to the 22nd edition of the tournament.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino took aim at European critics of Qatar on the eve of the World Cup in an extraordinary media conference that finished just before defender Dier spoke to the media.

Sky Sports News’ senior reporter Melissa Reddy dissects FIFA president Gianni Infantino’s ‘astounding’ statement.

Like his England team-mates and other players at this World Cup, the well-spoken 28-year-old faced questions about issues in the host country beyond the football itself.

“It’s extremely difficult every day for all of us as players,” Dier, who had not seen Infantino’s press conference, said.

“We come here and we know these topics are going to be addressed and it’s a difficult situation for us.

“I was looking today because I thought I would probably get this kind of question.

“The World Cup was awarded here to Qatar in 2010 and I was 16 at the time. It’s very difficult for me to talk on it because we as players have absolutely no say in where we play.

“Those decisions are made by people way above us and obviously we’re the ones who end up sitting here having to answer these kind of questions. It’s a difficult situation for us.

“Not just us, every team, every player is going to experience it throughout the whole tournament. It’s disappointing.

“For me individually, I carry the values I’ve been given by my family and what I’ve grown up with, how people have educated me. I carry those values wherever I go.

The Times’ chief football writer Henry Winter believes the statements made on the eve of the World Cup by FIFA president Gianni Infantino were offensive to football fans

“At the same time, I respect everywhere that I go.

“We’ve been here a very short time so, for me, it’s important to live this experience and then at that point have a much better idea of what to say on it.

“A lot of things have already happened – a lot of things are very disappointing – and those will always be in my mind.

“But as a team, and individually, we carry certain values and no matter where we go we’ll carry those values. And at the same time, we’ll respect everywhere we go. It’s difficult for me to talk about that kind of situation.”
