James Trafford delivered a phenomenal performance to strengthen his case to permanently dislodge Jordan Pickford as England's number one goalkeeper after Leeds United secured a hard-fought 0-0 draw against Sunderland. Despite ferocious winds at the Stadium of Light on Sunday, Trafford produced four vital saves to keep a clean sheet and underline his international credentials.
England head coach Thomas Tuchel has offered his full support to the three Three Lions stars currently vying for the 2026 Ballon d'Or. As the prestigious ceremony prepares to land in London for a historic 70th-anniversary celebration, the German tactician believes any of his nominated trio would be a worthy winner.
England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford revisited five of his most iconic international appearances, ranging from debut nerves to high-stakes World Cup drama. The Three Lions star highlighted historic penalty shootouts and playing in front of 90,000 hostile fans in Mexico.
Thomas Tuchel could soon lose his trusted assistant Anthony Barry, as the England coach is attracting serious interest from several Premier League clubs. Barry recently signed a contract extension ahead of the upcoming European Championship, but an opportunity to become a top-flight manager might tempt him away from the Three Lions setup in the near future.
