London, March 17 (Ians) England coach Gareth Southgate has made several changes to his squad for their Euro 2024 qualifying matches against Italy and Ukraine later this month.
Brentford striker Ivan Toney is rewarded for an excellent season that has seen him score 17 goals, while Chelsea full backs Ben Chilwell and Reece James are also included after having missed out on last year’s FIFA World Cup due to injury.
However, there is no place for Trent Alexander-Arnold, Conor Coady, Ben White or Callum Wilson, who were all present at the World Cup, while Raheem Sterling misses out through injury, a Xinhua report said.
Toney’s inclusion comes despite facing charges of breaching rules on betting, which could lead to him receiving a lengthy ban, but Southgate backed the powerful striker.
“He’s available for his club. There hasn’t been a trial or a judgement yet, so I don’t know...

London, Dec 25 (Ians) Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte is not happy to be playing so quickly after the FIFA World Cup 2022 and has hinted he will select those who have remained in England, for his side’s Boxing Day match at Brentford.
The Premier League resumes on Monday, just eight days after the World Cup final between France and Argentina in Qatar.
While Conte has already indicated that World Cup finalists Cristian Romero and Hugo Lloris will not play against the Bees, the Italian has a decision to make over Croatia’s Ivan Perisic as well as England pair Harry Kane and Eric Dier after the trio all made the last eight.
“It is a strange situation and honestly to play so quickly — only one week after the World Cup — I am not really happy. On one hand, you are happy because for my club, Tottenham, to have 12 players at...

Monty Python star Eric Idle has addressed the topic of “cancel culture”.
Idle, 79, was asked about the subject during a recent appearance on an episode of the podcast On with Kara Swisher.
Asked about Dave Chappelle’s complaints that he is being silenced for his controversial jokes, Idle responded: “Where does he say it? On SNL… well you’re not being that much cancelled, are you?
“If you were in your room complaining. I’d have a lot more sympathy.”
Idle went on to address another vocal critic of “cancel culture”, Bill Maher.
“I didn’t like it when Bill Maher complains about the audience for not laughing, they’re telling you they don’t find it funny.
“You shouldn’t moan about the audience. There’s nothing wrong with the audience. If they don’t laugh at your jokes, there’s something wrong with your joke. And so… I...

London, Nov 10 (Ians) Coach Gareth Southgate on Thursday announced a 26-man England squad for the 2022 football World Cup, including Leicester midfielder James Maddison along with Newcastle striker Callum Wilson.
Both the players have not played for England since 2019, but recent club form has seen them earn a call-up for the FIFA World Cup which begins on November 20 in Qatar.
On including Maddison in the team, Southgate said, “He is playing really well. We think he can give us something slightly different to the attacking players that we’ve got. He’s playing as good as any of the attacking players in this country. He is a little bit different from the others. I think we need that.”
Maddison last played for England in November 2019 while 2020 Wilson’s last international cap came a month before in October 2019.
Among English players, Maddison has had one of the highest number of goal involvements...

Madrid, Nov 9 (Ians) A quick look at Group B implies that England should be the clear favourites to breeze through into the last-16 of the FIFA World Cup, and a possible three straight wins will allow Gareth Southgate’s side to gain confidence ahead of the knockout rounds.
However, any England fan will tell you it’s rarely as simple as that, with memories of their struggles in a group comprised of the United States, Algeria and Slovenia in 2010 coming to mind, and a look at other teams in the group also suggests things may not be as straightforward as they seem.
On paper, England have a better squad and record than Wales, the United States and Iran. They qualified for Qatar with no real problems and travel as the European Championship runners-up.
Southgate will build his team around striker and captain Harry Kane, and midfielders Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham.

London, Sep 15 (Ians) England coach Gareth Southgate has called Brentford striker Ivan Toney into his squad for the forthcoming UEFA Nations League games against Italy and Germany.
However, there is no place for Manchester United duo of Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho just two months away from the start of the World Cup.
Southgate’s final squad before naming players who will go to Qatar is always going to be looked at with extra interest. Although Rashford is suffering from a slight injury, Sancho’s place on the plane must now be in serious doubt, reports Xinhua.
26-year-old Toney gets his chance after scoring 17 Premier League goals and giving six assists in just over a season with Brentford. He is an effective penalty taker and also a threat in the air and set-pieces.
Southgate’s 28-man squad sees a return for Tottenham’s Eric Dier, who has not featured since...

London, May 25 (Ians) Ben White, Ben Godfrey and Aaron Ramsdale received their first England call-ups as Gareth Southgate selected Trent Alexander-Arnold among four right-backs in his provisional European Championship squad.
With the Three Lions dealing with issues such as injuries and European (Champions League) final absentees, the Football Association confirmed a larger provisional squad would be announced on Tuesday rather than the definitive group, Dpa reports.
Southgate has named a 33-man party that will be trimmed down to 26 players on June 1, allowing him to include injury doubts such as Harry Maguire, Jordan Henderson and Kalvin Phillips.
Speaking about his decision to name a 33-member squad, Southgate explained: "I think our situation is more complicated than any other country at the moment.
"We have known for a while that we have of this 33, 12 players still to play in European finals this week so we were always going to need some additional...

London, Dec 14 (Ians) Tottenham have remained at the top of the Premier League despite being held to a 1-1 draw away to Crystal Palace after Liverpool also dropped two points on their visit to Fulham.
Harry Kane's 24th minute shot from distance on Sunday swerved past Palace goalkeeper Vicente Guaita to give Tottenham the lead in south-east London and Spurs looked to be on their way to three points until Jeffrey Schlupp equalized nine minutes from time after Hugo Lloris failed to deal with a free kick, reports Xinhua news agency.
Eric Dier almost won the game for Spurs in injury time but Guaita produced a spectacular save to keep his long range shot out.
The draw gave Liverpool the chance to return to top spot but Jurgen Klopp's side, who were without the injured Diogo Jota, could only draw 1-1 away to struggling Fulham.

A deflected shot from Emil Forsberg edged Sweden into the quarter-finals in a match against England this Saturday. As the swath of fans decked in yellow cheered on coach Janne Andersson, even after the Swedes beat the Swiss 1-0, the crowds at the game between Colombia and England were awash with anxiety later on Tuesday.
After a match of minimal goals — and a Colombian squad sans James Rodriguez due to a calf injury — the match boiled down to penalty kicks after Yerry Mina scored in the 93rd minute to tie Colombia, 1-1, following Harry Kane’s opening goal. No goals were scored in extra time. But the Three Lions managed to overcome their penalty shootout curse with Eric Dier’s winning shot against David Ospina.
Sweden will play England at Samara Arena in Samara on July 7 at 7 a.m. Pt, airing on Fox. The match can be streamed on FoxSports.

Grabbing a widely unexpected World Cup victory over Colombia from assumed certain defeat with a stirring penalty shootout goal from Eric Dier, England’s elevation to the quarter-finals of the 2018 Ifa tournament yesterday is bringing almost as much celebration to Fox as it did to the Harry Kane led team and Albion itself.
Snagging a 3.7/11 in metered market results and 4.4 million viewers for the Rupert Murdoch-owned network, the match was a win for Fox in a World Cup that has been topping ratings expectations.
While this year’s coverage is still down overall from the U.S.A. participating 2014 World Cup, the pre-Independence Day match between our former colonial overlords and Colombia is the sixth highest in overnight ratings and the eighth most watched so far. Adding to the glory, as it went into overtime and then the penalty shootout after the game proper ended 1-1, England’s triumph is the most watched non-u.

“It’s coming home,” is becoming one of the most familiar refrains on social media networks in the UK this week.
There have been half a million tweets with the England football team rallying cry in the past 24 hours, according to Twitter. This peaked at 127,000 tweets per minute when Eric Dier scored the decisive penalty in England’s narrow second round World Cup win over Colombia last night, an event which momentarily sent the country into meltdown. It doesn’t take much, given England’s recent footballing ineptitude.
Congratulations poured in from all quarters. Even Prince William took to Twitter to say, “I couldn’t be prouder of england – a victory in a penalty shootout! You have well and truly earned your place in the final eight of the #worldcup and you should know the whole country is right behind you for Saturday! Come on England! W.”

England won a penalty shoot out at the World Cup for the first time ever and the nation was watching. Some 81% of television viewers tuned in to see the final moments of the penalty shootout, which saw Eric Dier score the winning penalty against the Colombians.
The game peaked with 24.4m linear viewers as goalkeeper Jordan Pickford made a brave save after it looked like England would fall to the inevitable with Jordan Henderson missing his spot kick. It was the highest rated moment on British TV in four years.
Airing on ITV, the game, which ran from 6:15pm to 10:30pm, once Colombia equalised in the last minute of normal time, moving the game into extra time, averaged 16.5m viewers across its full slot.
The game was well up on England’s dead-rubber loss against Belgium in the group stages, which drew a peak of 18.6m and a 72% share.

When the biggest cheer of a 90,000 seater football stadium comes from paper aeroplanes landing on the pitch, it’s fair to say there’s a problem.
That problem being the English national side. I’m getting bored harping on about how the England team fails to progress or even just to impress. If anything, I feel like we’ve gone backwards over the last couple of years.
Sometimes I watch the tv (because you couldn’t pay me to go watch England during the qualifiers) and I just want to scream. Maybe Gareth Southgate should allow some England fans to facetime into the team meetings to express the nation’s frustrations! They need to know what they are putting all the English fans through. It’s easy for players like Harry Kane and Joe Hart to say things like it was all about qualifying and they’ve managed to do...
