England manager Thomas Tuchel has taken a bold step towards reshaping the Three Lions after their World Cup disappointment, naming a squad filled with both high-profile returns and fresh faces. The German tactician has chosen to look past several established names as he prepares for a demanding run of Nations League fixtures.
Cole Palmer is reportedly on the verge of a return to the England senior setup as Thomas Tuchel prepares to name his latest squad for the upcoming Nations League break. The Chelsea playmaker was a high-profile absentee from the Three Lions' recent World Cup campaign, but his scintillating club form has made him impossible to ignore.
Football Association chair Debbie Hewitt has launched a scathing critique of FIFA's current leadership, demanding full transparency regarding a series of recent scandals. Hewitt, who also serves as a FIFA vice-president, has formally requested that president Gianni Infantino release all internal documents concerning a failed plan to sell off World Cup commercial rights and the mysterious overturning of Folarin Balogun's suspension.
Veteran defender John Stones has been ruled out of England's upcoming Nations League fixtures after suffering a significant muscle injury with Inter Milan. The centre-back's absence leaves Thomas Tuchel short of experience in defence as the Three Lions prepare for a crucial run of international matches.
Michael Owen has told GOAL that “stars need to align” in order for Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice to achieve what Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard could not. Two iconic midfielders from England’s not too distant past never savoured Ballon d’Or glory. Could a couple of Three Lions superstars in the present eventually go on to land the prestigious Golden Ball?
Thomas Tuchel has sensationally admitted that he felt he was waiting for "death" during England’s devastating World Cup semi-final exit at the hands of Argentina. The Three Lions boss, who previously pointed to the nation’s footballing DNA as a cause for failure, has now taken full responsibility for a tactical retreat that backfired on the biggest stage of all.
England manager Thomas Tuchel has revealed an extraordinary post-match regret following his side's famous 10-man World Cup triumph over tournament co-hosts Mexico in last summer's knockout stage. The German tactician admitted he wished he had eaten some of the sacred Estadio Azteca turf to permanently preserve the memory of an iconic 3-2 victory.
As Harry Kane approaches the twilight of his career, England face a daunting task to find a suitable replacement for their talismanic captain. However, talkSPORT's Simon Jordan believes Nottingham Forest striker Liam Delap could be the man to answer Thomas Tuchel's attacking prayers.
Harry Kane is looking to become the first Englishman to win the Ballon d’Or since Michael Owen in 2001. If the Bayern Munich striker is successful, will it be another 25 years before a fellow countryman follows in his footsteps? Owen has spoken to GOAL about potentially welcoming a fifth member into an exclusive club - with a “fabulous achievement” on the cards.
Harry Kane is well on course to reach 100 goals for England. If he does did hit that milestone, will that be a record that stands forever? Former Three Lions striker Andy Cole has answered that question during an exclusive interview with GOAL. The ex-Manchester United star believes that somebody else is capable of posting “frigenting” numbers in the future.
