Daniel Sturridge, welcome to American television.
The ex-England international is making his debut with Fox Sports this summer, serving as a studio analyst for the network's coverage of Euro 2024.
Also serving as a studio analyst is notorious pot-stirrer Alexi Lalas, who continues to grace the airwaves with his unabashed style of punditry.
Lalas provided another example of his freeform commentary during a segment on Thursday, taking aim at England in a rant featuring a Justin Timberlake reference, a pointed mention of the very British term "whinging" and, of course, lots of yelling.
Sitting next to the ex-U.S. international, Sturridge could hardly contain himself, burying his head in his hand at one point while offering plenty of side-eyes to his colleague.
At the end of his diatribe, Lalas turned to Sturridge and demanded to know where he would play Phil Foden if he were in charge of England.
"Don't put this on me Alexi," was all could Sturridge could muster before breaking out in exasperated laughter.
