15 h. ago England were dismal against minnows Andorra but it really doesn’t matter | Jonathan Wilson

Tuchel’s target is to win the World Cup and a scintillating performance would not have made lifting the prize in New Jersey any more likelyHow bad was it? Bad enough to be England’s worst result in seven games against Andorra. Bad enough for players used to operating at the highest of levels for the best clubs in the world to find themselves unable to weight simple passes or deliver crosses with precision. Bad enough that Andorra’s 37-year-old left-back Marc García nutmegged Noni Madueke in injury time. But, beyond the potential problems it may cause with goal difference, it doesn’t matter at all in terms of the main issue: the winning of the World Cup next summer.England could have played scintillating football and beaten Andorra 10-0 and it wouldn’t have made them any more likely to be lifting the prize in New Jersey next July. That’s not to excuse a dismal performance, just to say it’s irrelevant. The game was won, the box ticked, and Thomas Tuchel hopefully learned something fro...

4 d. ago Football transfer rumours: Son to leave Spurs? Reijnders to Manchester City?

Today’s fluff is making overturesAfter deciding they’d rather pay a £5m penalty fee to Manchester United than fulfil their obligation to make Jadon Sancho’s loan deal permanent, Chelsea are in the market for a different winger who blows more hot than cold. Sancho is believed to be the subject of interest from a trio of clubs in Saudi Arabia, with Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad all believed to be interested in hosing him with money. With the future of Mykhailo Mudryk still shrouded in uncertainty after his provisional ban for allegedly testing positive for a banned substance, Enzo Maresca is expected to try to convince his employers to sign Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund. Elsewhere on the Chelsea radar, that lanky green blob you can see inching its way across the screen represents the Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan, who is believed to be open to a move to Stamford Bridge and with his fabled good touch for a big man would constitute a significant upgrade on Robert Sánchez and ...

2 w. ago Pedro steps up for old mate Conte to enrage Inter and put Napoli one win from title | Nicky Bandini

The 37-year-old former Chelsea winger had the final say amid controversy, bitterness and regret in Milan and ParmaAntonio Conte looked like a man who just wanted to be tucked up in bed, sinking into his seat in the Stadio Tardini’s press conference room instead and dropping his head between his hands. “Very tired,” he replied when a journalist asked how he was feeling. He kept repeating those words while the next question was being asked, a quiet little chant: “Very tired. Very tired. Very tired.”Even a neutral spectator might have felt exhausted from keeping up with all the twists and turns on a night when Conte’s Napoli twice lost control of the Serie A title race and twice got it back – all without scoring or conceding any goals. A night of VAR controversies, penalties awarded then unawarded and deep, bitter regret. Continue reading...
