It was "incredible" how Craig Gordon came back from a double leg break four years ago to make this summer's finals and end his career with Scotland at the World Cup, Rory Loy has stated on the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast. Ex-striker Loy suffered the same injury as the former Celtic, Hearts and Sunderland goalkeeper, who announced he is retiring from playing on Thursday. "I did the same thing, but I did it when I was 20, 23," he said of Gordon, who suffered the injury at the age of 39.
With a place in the final at stake, supporters are eager to learn why one of England's most recognizable attacking players is not in line to start such an important fixture. England is set for a huge 2026 World Cup semifinal against Argentina, but Marcus Rashford will begin the match on the bench, prompting plenty of questions ahead of kick-off. With a place in the final at stake, supporters are eager to learn why one of England’s most recognizable attacking players is not in line to start such an important fixture. The Three Lions arrive in Atlanta after overcoming a demanding path through the knockout rounds. Thomas Tuchel’s side defeated DR Congo before edging Mexico 3-2 and then battling past Norway 3-2 after extra time, with Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane continuing to lead England’s charge toward its first World Cup final since 1966. Argentina‘s journey has been equally dramatic. Lionel Scaloni’s squad recovered from a 2-0 deficit to defeat Egypt 3-2, survived extra-time battles against both Cape Verde and Switzerland, and extended its impressive unbeaten World Cup run while chasing a fourth global title. Wednesday’s meeting also revives one of soccer’s greatest rivalries. The two sides have not met since a 3-2 friendly victory for England in 2005, while this will be their first World Cup encounter since David Beckham’s winning penalty separated the teams in the 2002 Group Stage.

According to the London Evening Standard and BBC Sport, Tuchel believes other attacking options currently offer a better balance for the way England plans to approach Argentina. Ready for Argentina! 👊 pic.twitter.com/5fSh9K1tir— England (@England) July 15, 2026 The biggest factor is the outstanding form of Anthony Gordon, who has impressed throughout the knockout rounds. Gordon’s work rate, defensive contribution, and ability to stretch opposing defenses have convinced Tuchel to continue trusting him on the left side of England’s attack. Bukayo Saka’s expected return on the opposite wing further reduces opportunities in the starting eleven. With Saka and Gordon occupying the wide positions behind Harry Kane, Rashford finds himself competing with several in-form attackers for limited places. Anthony Gordon of England Tuchel sees Rashford as valuable impact substitute While Rashford will not start, England still views him as an important weapon later in matches. His pace and ability to attack tiring defenders have made him a useful option from the bench throughout the tournament. Marcus Rashford #11 of England reacts after the scoreless draw. It is said that Tuchel believes Rashford can have a greater influence entering the game during the second half rather than beginning from the opening whistle. That approach also allows England to introduce fresh attacking speed if the semifinal becomes stretched during the closing stages. The strategy is one that the coaching staff has already used successfully earlier in the tournament. Rashford previously made a positive contribution after coming off the bench, reinforcing the belief that he can still play a decisive role even without starting.
Barcelona have already signed Anthony Gordon, but the club's president, Joan Laporta, said Karim Adeyemi's move was almost complete. The post Laporta excited by ‘dangerous’ Adeyemi as Barcelona move edges closer appeared first on SoccerNews.
With Thomas Tuchel throwing a major tactical curveball right before kickoff, fans are demanding answers, so dive into the exact reason behind this debated lineup change as the Three Lions gear up to fight for their World Cup survival. Leaving Anthony Gordon out of the starting XI has instantly fueled the fire ahead of England’s do-or-die Round of 32 battle with DR Congo. With Thomas Tuchel throwing a major tactical curveball right before kickoff, fans are demanding answers. Dive into the exact reason behind this debated lineup change as the Three Lions gear up to fight for their World Cup survival. England enters the knockout stage after finishing top of Group L, while DR Congo arrives as one of the tournament’s best third-placed teams following an impressive group-stage campaign. Victory will send the winner into a Round of 16 meeting with Mexico, making every selection decision even more significant. The Three Lions opened with an entertaining 4-2 victory over Croatia, followed by a frustrating 0-0 draw against Ghana before eventually overcoming Panama 2-0. Those performances exposed England’s occasional difficulties against teams willing to defend deep. DR Congo is expected to adopt a similarly organized approach after frustrating Portugal during a 1-1 draw earlier in the tournament. The African nation, meanwhile, has earned widespread praise for its performances during the group stage. DR Congo drew with Portugal, narrowly lost 1-0 to Colombia, and then defeated Uzbekistan 3-1, securing a historic place in the knockout rounds after a 52-year absence from the World Cup. England players pose for a team photograph. Why Anthony Gordon is starting on the bench With the release of the team news, the mystery surrounding Anthony Gordon’s exclusion became clearer. Marcus Rashford has retained his place on the left wing after impressing during England’s recent performances, with Tuchel rewarding the Manchester United forward for his form rather than making another change. According to multiple pre-match reports, Rashford’s display against Panama convinced the England manager to maintain continuity heading into the knockout stage. Gordon featured prominently in the opening group matches against Croatia and Ghana but struggled to consistently influence proceedings, leaving the door open for Rashford to seize the opportunity. Our team news for DR Congo! 🗞️ pic.twitter.com/eNjGs5VjeD— England (@England) July 1, 2026 Tuchel’s decision appears to be based on tactical considerations as much as individual form. DR Congo has built its tournament success on a disciplined defensive structure, and Rashford’s pace, experience and direct running are viewed as qualities that could help unlock a compact back line. Rather than indicating a loss of confidence in Gordon, the selection reflects England’s depth in attacking positions. Gordon remains a valuable option from the bench should Tuchel require fresh energy later in the contest. Anthony Gordon of England England makes three changes for the knockout clash Thomas Tuchel has made three alterations to the side that defeated Panama in the final group-stage match. With Declan Rice returning after recovering from a calf problem, Tottenham defender Djed Spence starts at right-back, while Noni Madueke replaces Bukayo Saka, who has been rested on the bench to manage his fitness. England is also without injured defenders Jarell Quansah and Reece James, forcing Tuchel into defensive adjustments. Spence gets the opportunity after replacing Quansah during the victory over Panama when the Liverpool defender suffered an ankle injury.
Former goalkeeper and US Soccer general manager is hosting the Spain team at his training camp in ChattanoogaAt the foot of Signal Mountain on a bend in the Tennessee river, over the little level crossing like a postcard of America, past the sheriff at the gate and through an avenue of pines, the perfect pitch awaits Lamine Yamal, Rodri and the rest. So does a man. He’s 6ft 3in, 78 years old, his name is Bill Nuttall, and he’s here every day.“I’ve got nothing else to do,” he says, laughing. He’s done it all: he cleaned out Pelé and got cleaned out by Gordon Banks, coached Gerd Müller and built a US national team from scratch, the hosts making history in 1994. He also brought Spain here, an even better host now than he was back then. Continue reading...
