Michael Owen has, during an exclusive interview with GOAL, picked two players from England’s ‘Golden Generation’ that would improve the Three Lions’ class of 2026 and aid their bid for World Cup glory. The ex-Liverpool and Real Madrid striker has also debated whether Harry Kane and Declan Rice could oust the likes of Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard from an iconic team of the past.

Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White has hit out at his omission from Thomas Tuchel's England World Cup squad, claiming he has done "more than enough" to warrant a place on the plane.

Thomas Tuchel has revealed that England will implement heightened security measures at their World Cup training base to prevent any "Spygate" scandals during the tournament in the United States. Following the shock expulsion of Southampton from the Championship play-offs for spying on Middlesbrough, the Three Lions boss is determined to protect his tactical secrets from group-stage rivals Croatia, Panama and Ghana.
