England wobble but Djed Spence and John Stones make case for the defence

Tuchel’s half-time changes and Pickford’s skittishness lifted Norway, but backline finally rose to occasionEngland were back in Azteca mode in the end. Big Dan Burn was on to thump those headers away. Reece James and the magnificent Djed Spence were covering the flanks, Elliot Anderson was taking care of midfield on his own and the problem for Norway was that the hulking figure leading their attack was no longer on the pitch as they tried to find a way through England’s back five at the end of extra time in Miami.It would be a push to call this a tactical or defensive masterclass from Thomas Tuchel.

For both nations there are reasons to believeThe agonising climax to Saturday’s men’s Champions League final in Budapest will haunt the imaginations of Arsenal supporters for years to come. Penalty shootouts – a sporting version of Russian roulette – are a brutal way to lose a football match, with hope turning to despair in the time that it takes to fire a ball over a crossbar. The England men’s team, of course, used to know this only too well, famously leading Gareth Southgate to use a psychologist to address players’ nerves.A triumphant Sunday parade allowed the Premier League champions to reflect on what they did achieve, rather than what they didn’t. There was further consolation in the presence of the Arsenal women’s team bus, as the massed hordes acclaimed their achievement in winning the inaugural Fifa Women’s Champions Cup and reaching the Uefa Champions League semi-final. They remain the only English women’s team to have won the latter. Continue reading...
