He was speaking to hosts Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley about England's upcoming clash with Denmark on Wednesday in the semi-final of the Euros.
"It's looking like a very, very good game and an interesting game," said Sam.
"Of course we would hope that our home advantage and our fans will play a big part in getting us over the line."
His phone then started ringing out - which made Susanna and Richard laugh as he attempted to turn it off without addressing what had happened.

"Oh hello," shouted Richard.
Susanna laughed: "That's someone saying they can see you on telly."
Sam failed to say anything to shrug off the gaffe.
Instead he looked embarrassed as he fiddled with his phone in an attempt to end the incoming call and put it on silent.
