in the next half an hour, gareth southgate will name his first england squad since the world cup.w format nations league a week on saturday, then a friendly against switzerland. expect a few changes as they look to the european championship in 2020. i think you expect gareth southgate to pick a lot of young players because he wants to develop them for the next tournament, because they did so well in russia. the whole nation got behind them and that is a building block. it's a - to see building block. it's a shame to see cahill and vardy building block. it's a shame to see cahill and va rdy retiring building block. it's a shame to see cahill and vardy retiring but i think they see the future is the youth going through. looking even further ahead, and the 2030 world cup, the scottish football association say they have held exploratory talks with the other home nations about a joint bid. the english fa has confirmed that they are looking at a bid and the welsh fa are keen to come on board too. there will be a feasibility study to see whether a home nations bid would bea see whether a

he was part of gareth southgate's squad for the world cup this summer, but only played once, in the groups priority is prolonging his club career. ian stringer, who commentates on leicester city for bbc local station, says age is catching up with the striker. jamie vardy is getting into his 30s and whilst he doesn't look to be he is getting any slower, he probably wants to preserve what he's still got left. he scored seven international goals, not bad retiring after a semifinal in the world cup. he was part of the squad we thought would be bringing it home over the course of the summer with harry kane. jamie vardy has looked at it, in the euros in a couple of years, will he still be as quick and prolific as he is for the foxes. 20 goals a season in the premier league, he probably wants to focus on leicester city. he likes to play on the shoulder of his opponents and tried to break away from defences, but in international football that doesn't seem to have been utilised by gareth southgate. my understanding is jamie vardy is ok with that, he understands that and knows the direction gareth

gareth southgate. he is announcing his first squad towards your 2020.ss, there are a lot of challenges ahead. the four england teams will find out what is ahead. the draw is in the next hour or so. burnley, celtic and rangers are hoping to be in the pot for tomorrow‘s draw. rangers are in action in a second leg against fc ufa in russia. they are down to nine men, rangers. celtic play tonight against suduva from lithuania. burnley have a tough job against 0lympiakos. they are 3—1 down to greeks after the first leg. he hopes to be back in the dugout after being discharged from hospital after a heart scare this week. he will pick the team from home as the league leaders face to prepare —— pouty face st mirren. he said on twitter: he also thanked the hospital staff and paramedics. there are no british players left in the singles draw at the us open after andy murray and cameron norrie were knocked out in the second round. murrays defeat to feranndo verdasco was murray‘s first grand slam appearance for 14 months and only his 9th match since having hip surger

england manager gareth southgate has named his 23 man squad for the upcoming matches against spain andthe semi—finals of the world cup. manchester united's luke shaw has been recalled — he last played for england in march 2017. there are five changes in all, ashley young has been dropped, burnley defenderjames tarkowski comes in, southampton keeper alex macrthy is the only uncapped player in the squad. and southgate said he could look to the championship for players in the future, with a dwindling pool of engllish players to choose from in the premier league. a lot of good things happening but there is still work to do and one of our biggest concerns about to be playing time for english players. i think that there's a number of us not getting opportunities to play. the more concerning lee, young players that might be coming through to challenge that not getting opportunities to play. for me, great would be experienced in the summer. but there is this reconnection with the team, but the next step and how we improve in progress. roger federer is through to the third round of the us open,

they say they want to allow manager gareth southgate to bring younger players in.e world cup in russia. but he and chelsea defender cahil, who made his debut in 2010, and has captained the side on several occasions. both say they would play for the national side again if asked. team dimension rider ben king says he's still in shock after winning stage four of the vuelta a espana. the american out—sprinted kazakh nikita stalnov in the race's first summit finish, fullfilling his goal of winning a grand tour stage. team sky's michal kwiatkowski did enough to retain the leader's red jersey. he's now seven seconds clear of emanuel bookhmann. britain's simon yates moved up to third in the overall standings, ten seconds off the pace. england bastman jonny bairstow says he hopes to keep wicket for the fourth test against india, despite fracturing a finger in the third test at trent bridge earlier this month. the fourth test gets under way on thursday at southampton. india won the last game and have to win the next as england lead the five match series 2—1 with two matches

and after the success of this summer‘s world cup, the fa have announced that they want gareth southgateeyond 2020, when his contract expires. england made the semi—finals in russia, and fa chief executive martin glenn said he was "the definition of the modern manager we want". he certainly looked modern in that waistcoat. india are in control after the opening day of the first test against england at edgbaston. at stumps, the hosts were 285—9, having looked in total control on 216—3. but that‘s when things started to go wrong for england. patrick gearey now reports on that, and takes a look back in the test cricket archives, too. an english drama in a thousand parts. from flickering victorian beginnings through history, haircuts and heroics. test cricket still relies on the same familiar routines. this time, england won the toss and batted. well, this queue shows that there is still interest in this form of the game. but they have struggled to sell all the tickets for this first day, a reminder that test cricket needs a captivating series now more than ever. england‘s batsmen didn‘t wan

gareth southgate, yes.to the championship for homegrown talent. there is some very good talent! i am going tomorrow. oh, i can't go. you can come with me. oh, i might. is it oui’ can come with me. oh, i might. is it our date? oh, what am i? you can come as well. it comes as he named his first england squad since the world cup, with a recall for manchester united left back luke shaw. england have matches against spain and switzerland next month, but the question is, has gareth southgate got his waistcoast ready after the world cup? not sure i will ever wear a waistcoat again frankly. we only have one option incidentally with the current sponsorship agreement. i'll make a decision depending on the weather as to what i wear. scotland's chance of making it to the women's world cup in france next year is out of their own hands after they could only beat switzerland 2—1. they needed a two goal margin of victory and, despite going 2—0 up inside five minutes in glasgow, they conceded soon after and couldn't grab an

what i should think about that the nation's league is going to replace friendly's mr southgate gareth southgate has opinion. as you say. makes sense he says adding that england hasn't really been they need you know to get back in the swing of things as it says of his past. the train stopped named after him at the london underground so i understand why he supports it but when you look at other teams like a german team or something a team that has a lot of mileage on it. what is it for i mean english england also they have their players have mileage in the sense that you know they have players playing in their leagues on top teams champions league you have you know so they're getting a lot of matches do we need friendly's i mean i like the concept of putting some kind of competitive spin on the families because the families by themselves are just like. ok if you're like just a real lover in football you watch them but they're not like i thought like that there are important for the coach to test new formations to test new plan yeah for sure but the pressure situation at lake or the competitive si
