But their performances were overshadowed by the social escapades of the squad\u2019s wives and girlfriends, who became front-page news during the tournament and were accused of being a distraction to the players.<\/p>\n<p>Asked whether he\u2019d want a repeat of what happened in 2006, Southgate replied: \u2018No. I wasn\u2019t involved in that tournament so I don\u2019t know how all that was but we have a great environment with our players.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/21\/20\/78080339-0-image-a-43_1700600243311.jpg\" height=\"509\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Victoria Beckham,\u00a0Cheryl Tweedy and Coleen Rooney (then McLoughlin) watch England at 2006 World Cup<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/21\/23\/77948653-12777085-image-a-4_1700608630823.jpg\" height=\"408\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>L-R: Victoria Beckham Coleen Rooney&#8217;s Sister, Coleen Rooney, Louise Owen and Elen Rivas &#8211; then fiance Of Frank Lampard in 2006<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/21\/23\/77948189-12777085-L_R_Kieran_Trippier_s_wife_Charlotte_Jordan_Pickford_s_fianc_Meg-m-5_1700608688764.jpg\" height=\"322\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>L-R; Kieran Trippier&#8217;s wife Charlotte; Jordan Pickford&#8217;s fianc\u00e9 Megan Davison; Harry Maguire&#8217;s fianc\u00e9 Fern Hawkins; Kyle Walker&#8217;s wife Annie Kilner and Luke Shaw&#8217;s girlfriend Anouska Santos (pictured in 2023)<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We want their families to be able to go and enjoy the tournament as well. We normally welcome them in at various times. It changes the dynamic of the hotel, especially if the kids come in, and those elements are important for the players.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Southgate has also indicated England are likely to avoid basing themselves in big cities such as Berlin and Hamburg, in favour of a quieter hideaway.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Really we want somewhere where we can be a little bit on our own,\u2019 he explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We need that nice contrast of relaxation and areas where we can work. You want to minimise travel where you can but within the FA our staff are really good at picking venues that the players will enjoy and feel comfortable in.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018You want to be somewhere where you can zone out from everything that\u2019s going on around you, but somewhere with good facilities.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>England will enter Euro 2024 as one of the favourites following an undefeated qualifying campaign. They will find out their group-stage opponents on Saturday, December 2.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It doesn\u2019t matter who we draw, in the end,\u2019 Southgate added. \u2018In Euro 2020 we had Croatia in with us, who proved to be one of the best teams in the world over the last few years, and we managed to navigate that.
