Argentina13-minute comeback that moved players, pundits and supporters alike.
After a ten-man 3-2 win over Mexico, Gary Neville says Thomas Tuchel's England should beat Norway in the World Cup quarter-finals — even as Erling Haaland's Brazil brace and a rising Jude Bellingham reshape what favorite really means.
In England's final World Cup group-stage match against Panama, Jude Bellingham scored and set up Harry Kane, with Neville calling him the team's standout player by a wide margin. Both Tuchel and Neville believe the Three Lions will need more players performing at that level if they are to mount a serious World Cup title challenge.
In World Cup group play, England drew with Ghana after a convincing opening win over Croatia and were still goalless at half-time against Panama. Neville, Keane and Shearer all criticised a lack of attacking creativity, while assistant coach Barry pointed to an intense opening spell that led to more errors and greater counterattack risk.
Neville says Arsenal's most pivotal late-season fixture is away to relegation-threatened West Ham; Manchester City hold two games in hand, with goal difference potentially deciding the title.
Keane said the praise for Carrick's half-time tactical changes was overdone, while Neville argued United would have found it harder to hold on for the win without them. Manchester United beat Brentford 2-1.
