Hmm not sure how I feel about him continuing. It all boils down to if he wins the Euros this summer. But I just don't see it based on how his England teams fail to create enough chances from open play when it reaches the knockout stages of big tournaments against the bigger teams. And that invariably means penalties, which his England's record is 50/50.

Still, the FA want a non controversial, English manager who will get them to major championships. Fans on the other hand want England to finally win one.

Blue cards for sin-binned players to be trialled

Football's lawmakers Ifab are to trial sin-binning players and issuing blue cards, it will be announced on Friday.

Not orange but blue. 10 mins sin bin. Why not just keep it yellow but apply?

To keep it simple I think they should sin bin for dissent only to start with and if that's a success they can consider extending it to cynical play. Utterly daft to pick blue as the colour of the card.

PSG striker Mbappe agrees to join Real

Paris St-Germain and France striker Kylian Mbappe is set to receive a £128m signing-on bonus and earn almost £13m a year.

No surprise there. Real's attack will be frightening next season with Vinicius, Mbappé and Bellingham.

Germany World Cup winner Brehme dies aged 63

Former Germany defender Andreas Brehme, who scored the winning goal in the 1990 World Cup final, dies aged 63.

RIP. Only 63.
 
RIP Stan Bowles.

We knew it was coming, but a sad day for us QPR fans. He was one of the game's great characters before it started taking itself far too seriously. Stories about him and his misbehaviour are legion.

Even sweeter given the injuries and the hundreds of millions spent by Chelsea.

Thankfully not going to happen.
 
Cheering on Manure, only for today. What a goal by Rashford. But still a long way to go.

Sticks and Stones: Southgate’s midfield muddle will not be solved by Henderson | Barney Ronay

Having loyalty picks near England’s starting 11 would show validity in criticism of the manager’s single-mindedness
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

England friendlies will likely be another waste of time this month. A whole host of injuries will decimate the squad, especially in defence, including:

Trippier
Shaw
James
Chilwell
Colwill
Guehi
Maguire 🤞
TAA

So who to start v Brazil and Belgium?

Pickford

Walker (white deserves another chance but has fallen out with Southgate and Holland).
Stones
Dunk
Gomez (been playing left back for Liverpool). How many other left footed options are there?

Henderson 🤔 A sure sign Southgate has no idea how to win.
Rice

Saka
Bellingham
Foden

Kane
