I would be very surprised and disappointed if Sancho didn't produce better numbers than Chelsea Hazard. I think he flattered to deceive at due to his amazing dribbling, and was exposed at Real Madrid.

In terms of G/A this season, how would you define flop?

160m is a ridiculous fee. There was something about someone on the City board in a meeting with fans groups saying they're going big this summer because FFP is basically suspended. I fully expect this story to be true or close to the truth, and Spurs are denying it for now so that they don't get...

I think Griezmann is levels above Joao Felix, he was just misused at Barcelona.

I love how the USA and Mexico never meet before the final.

Would it make sense to merge the Gold Cup and Copa America at some point? You would avoid the ridiculous group stage for Copa America, bring in lots of TV revenue from the USA and Mexico, and give the North American teams good competition in a tournament worth winning.

Realistically though who can they bring in that would be on the same level, let alone an improvement? Maybe they could go big for Mbappe, but I don't see that happening.

Henderson is an awful penalty taker. He missed one at the World Cup and missed another in the warm-up games. I think he's only ever scored one in his entire career. He said he just picked the players that took the best penalties in training.

I think he just trusts him off the ball more than Sancho. Saka originally came through as a fullback at Arsenal.

In terms of Southgate and his selections, if Germany or Spain, as an example, had identical players, what would their XI's look like?

The only big nations we played were Croatia, Germany and Italy. We won two of those, lost the other on a penalty shootout, and only conceded once in all three games. Let's not overreact. I would happily replace Southgate if an outstanding candidate emerges, but they're never going to get rid of...

Calm down. France went home because Mbappe missed. It's just one of those things.

I just hope that these lessons are learned for Qatar. We have enough to open teams up if we actually go for it, and plenty of athleticism on the cover.

Well done Italy. They were the better team for more of the game. Such a shame that England were so conservative when we could have still attacked and been positive and held our own. One thing that was odd about the final: >the trip on Sterling in the area not looked at >the stamp on Chiesa...

Kane got the most goals and most assists in the Premier League last season and still didn't get the player of the season award. I doubt there would be much appetite to give him the Ballon D'Or no matter what he does tonight.

Whatever happens tonight I have to be content with the progress that we've made over the last five years or so. From being eliminated by Iceland at the last Euros, to a semi final exit at the last World Cup, to getting to the final of this tournament. If you'd have asked me before the group...

I genuinely felt that way. It was Real Madrid and Bayern Munich versus Leeds United and West Ham in midfield, and England hadn't won a knockout game against a top team since the 90's or something. Germany, by contrast, had just battered Portugal 4-2 and been the better team (imo) against France.
