Mourinho admits he ‘feels sorry’ for Chris Smalling over World Cup snub

Seria A

Jose Mourinho says Chris Smalling should be included in England’s squad for the World Cup and admits he ‘feels sorry’ for the Roma defender for being overlooked by Gareth Southgate. Smalling has not played for England since 2017 and has failed to make Southgate’s last squad for the last two major tournaments. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Southgate is likely to be forced into a defensive rethink ahead of England’s World Cup campaign in Qatar as both Kyle Walker and Reece James are huge doubts to be fully fit for the tournament. But Smalling’s chances of making England’s squad still look slim as he was not called up for the international break in September.

EURO 2020

Leonardo Bonucci couldn’t resist poking fun at England after Italy’s penalty shootout victory over Italy to win Euro 2020 as he screamed ‘it’s coming to Rome!’ into a nearby TV camera. Luke Shaw got England off to a good start at Wembley with the fastest ever goal at the Euros inside two minutes but it was Bonucci’s effort from close range which levelled up the score in the second half.

EURO 2020

John Stones believes Manchester City and England teammate Raheem Sterling could win the player of the tournament award at Euro 2020. Sterling has been in good form all summer and key for Gareth Southgate’s side as England made it to their first major final in 55 years. The 26-year-old scored the winner in two Group D matches under the arch. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); He also broke the deadlock in the last-16 victory against Germany and laid on Harry Kane’s opening goal in the quarter-final win over Ukraine.

England XI vs Denmark ‘leaked’ as Man Utd signing Jadon Sancho dropped

EURO 2020

Jadon Sancho is expected to drop to the bench in the semifinal clash between England and Denmark, according to reports. England's Euro 2020 semi-final lineup has been leaked and there is no space for Manchester United's new signing Jadon Sancho. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Sancho agreed a £73m move to United last week and was rewarded with his first start in the competition during the 4-0 win against Ukraine. The attacker was impressive and earned praise for his display but it seems it wasn't enough to convince Gareth Southgate to stick with him for the match against Denmark today. England are expected to be unchanged in defence, meaning Kyle Walker, John Stones, Maguire and Luke Shaw will all start in front of Jordan Pickford, with that back line ...

Uncategorized

Luka Modric has accused English journalists and pundits of showing a lack of respect to Croatia and conceded his teammates had used the criticism to motivate them to a win against England in their World Cup semi-final. Modric impressed as Croatia came from behind to win in Moscow but the Real Madrid midfielder was unhappy with sections of the English media, some of whom had predicted an easy win for England. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); “People were talking … English journalists, pundits from television,” he told ITV. “They underestimated Croatia tonight and that was a huge mistake. All these words from them we take, we were reading and we were saying: ‘OK, today we will see who will be tired.’ They should be more humble and respect their opponents more...
