JAKARTA - England U-17 lost when they appeared in the last 16 of the 2023 U-17 World Cup. Facing Uzbekistan U-17, the Three Lions fell 1-2 at the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) on Wednesday, November 22, 2023.

England's U-17 defeat to Uzbekistan U-17 also drew disappointment from the father of Three Lions midfielder Chris Rigg.

He was previously willing to fly from Newcastle, England, to Jakarta just to watch his son's work at the 2023 U-17 World Cup.

Chris Rigg's own father was originally quite optimistic about the appearance of his son and England U-17. He believes The Three Lions can advance to the quarter-finals of the 2023 U-17 World Cup.

He even admitted that he had prepared a trip to Surakarta to witness the struggle of The Young Lions if it reached the quarter-finals.

"(I've been here) 11 days until now. If we win (in the round of 16), we will go to Surakarta to win the U-17 World Cup," said Chris Rigg's father when met on the sidelines of the England U-17 vs Uzbekistan U-17 match.

Unfortunately, with the defeat to Uzbekistan U-17, Chris Rigg's father had to bury his dream of watching England's U-17 continued match at the 2023 U-17 World Cup.

The players of The Young Lions were forced to lift their suitcases first from the tournament held in Indonesia.

Ryan Garry's team even looked down when they passed the mixed zone. Only Lakyle Samuel wants to do an interview with the media crew.
