Oguzsport Overview

England could finally be set to bring the World Cup back to British soil as plans emerge for a potential bid to host the tournament in 2038 or 2042. The ambitious project, reportedly backed by high-level political figures, aims to end a decades-long wait to stage the world's most prestigious football event.

West Ham United captain Jarrod Bowen has opened up on his decision to remain at the London Stadium despite the club's painful relegation to the Championship. The 29-year-old forward, who was heavily linked with a move away to maintain his top-flight status, insisted that his deep connection with the Hammers made the choice clear.

Rio Ngumoha has been told what the “next step” is for him, with Liverpool legend John Barnes looking for more experience and end product from a teenage wonderkid that does not need to worry about “beating five players”. At 17 years of age, the England hopeful is looking to build on a breakthrough campaign at Anfield that delivered 29 appearances and two goals.

Jude Bellingham is “not Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo” and cannot “win games by himself”, John Barnes has told GOAL, with the England and Real Madrid superstar considered to be more of a Bryan Robson-esque No.8 than a creative No.10. The all-action midfielder has often been pushed into a more advanced role, but his ability is maximised when operating in a deeper-lying berth.
