CHANNEL 4’s interview with Gareth Southgate turned awkward when Jules Breach threw to Joe Cole following England’s 1-1 draw with North Macedonia.
The Three Lions came from behind to earn a point away from home in an underwhelming display on Monday night.

Southgate insisted after the match he had “learned quite a bit” from the games against Malta and North Macedonia.
But it was a somewhat cringe moment during his Channel 4 interview that got social media talking.
After one of the England manager’s answers, presenter Breach threw to pundit Cole who did not appear ready with a question.
A moment of silence followed, before the ex-Chelsea man Cole asked: “So you didn’t ask, what are you doing for Christmas?”
This left Breach in stitches and also earned a chuckle from Southgate who responded: “What are you doing?”
Cole then added: “No, she threw to me there and I didn’t have a question.
“So I thought I’d just ask you that.”
England fans could be heard chanting “Channel 4 is f**king s**t” during their live coverage.
