England are not in the class of France, Argentina or Spain. But they do have some exceptional talent. Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane are world class. So is John Stones - at his best. Trent Alexander-Arnold is world class - in possession. Declan Rice is having the season of his life. There are more reasons to be positive going into this tournament than negative. But England have to be bold and play to their strengths. Imagine if England were bold and, if all fit, went into the World Cup… Pickford; Alexander-Arnold, Stones, Guehi, O’Reilly; Anderson, Rice; Saka, Bellingham, Gordon; Kane. Stones would have some covering to do of Alexander-Arnold when he raced upfield. Bellingham gets heavily scrutinised but he’s a big-game player, a winner and used to pressure at Real Madrid. He has to start. England also have an exceptional head coach in Thomas Tuchel who can make the right changes at the right time. England have a chance of progressing to the quarter-finals of the World Cup and then anything’s possible. But only if they are bold. Not gung-ho. But bold. Risk/reward. #ENG




@Andrew_Heaton Knew you couldn’t answer. You have a Bang average understanding of football as well. lol. Game knows game apparently.


🚨⚠️ Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi leaves Spain camp due to knee discomfort, statement confirms. He won’t play against Egypt. ❌🇪🇸



🚨 Bayern’s Uli Hoeneß: “I'd say Harry Kane is worth €150m. But then you see Alexander Isak cost €150m to Liverpool... …if Isak is worth 150 million, then Harry is worth 250 million euros”, told Kicker.



🚨 Following medical tests, Piero Hincapié leaves Ecuador camp and returns to London with immediate effect. Arsenal defender will be assessed by #AFC staff this upcoming week.


Uli Hoeneß on Harry Kane's worth in today's market: "It was a bit of a risk [spending around €100m on him in 2023]. But he's played incredibly well for us in recent years. If we consider the price-performance ratio, I'd say 150 million. But then you see that Alexander Isak of Liverpool cost 150 million euros. If he's worth 150 million, then Harry is worth 250 million euros" [@kicker]
