The Guardian FootballCutting off Erling Haaland is key but Norway are not just a one-man team | Emma Hayes
England need to be wary of a united Ståle Solbakken side who know their strengths before the World Cup quarter-final England fans are going to have to be really patient on Saturday night because this World Cup quarter-final against Norway will feel like a grind and I would not be surprised if the match goes the full distance and we see 120 close-fought minutes. Let me be clear: this will not be an easy game and do not expect it to be played at a fast pace. With a weapon like Erling Haaland, Norway are a dangerous team to face. The crucial thing England have to do, tactically, is try to starve Haaland of service, because if that ball arrives in his proximity and he is given half a chance, you know it is going into the back of the net. He doesn’t need many chances because he’s so clinical. England have to work so hard to deny him service. Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballLike Nosferatu on a golf weekend – but England players trust Tuchel and his aura | Barney Ronay
Imposing head coach is a details man who has got the balance of squad spirit right at the World Cup, and is even proving a hit on Mumsnet Let’s set the world on fire. There’s a section in Bill Buford’s classic football hooligan study, Among the Thugs, where he describes being part of a phalanx of England “faces” steaming through the centre of mid-1980s Rotterdam towards some kind of meet, while their leader – the Top Boy, General or similar – runs up and down the column whispering to his men, saying the “energy is high”, “the energy is high”, “feel it”, “the energy is high”. As it is currently for this England team, and quite clearly the players can feel it. You will probably have seen the dressing-room video, which has more than 40m views. Declan Rice and John Stones are shown playing a prank on Thomas Tuchel after the electrical storm masquerading as a football match at the Estadio Azteca last on Sunday. Rice pretends Stones has injured his shoulder. Stones plays along with it, delivering a minimalist acting masterclass so contained there is almost no acting at all, before raising his fist as the beat drops (song: Talk To You, by ANOTR) and the room falls about in generalised hysteria.

The Guardian Football‘Give me another medal!’: meet the hair stylist who has taken over the World Cup
Jayèma on working with England stars, a new look for Raphinha and forging a friendship with Lamine Yamal’s family Jayèma has had a World Cup like no other. Who else but the London hair stylist has worked with footballers from England, Brazil, the United States and Canada, and hung out with Lamine Yamal and his family, while having no idea who Lionel Messi is until recently? Who else but Jayèma has been to her first game of men’s football and left before the end of a tumultuous match between Mexico and England at the Azteca Stadium because the atmosphere was too “rowdy”? Who else has made so many footballers feel especially good about their hair and themselves, but the hardest-working stylist and male groomer in elite sport? Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballAnthony Gordon: ‘I have always been very intrigued to see who I can become’
England winger on his thirst for self-improvement, triumph at the Azteca and the ‘spiritual’ Thomas Tuchel It was a lighthearted moment – despite the language used – and Anthony Gordon saw the funny side. But trust the England winger to find a way to use it as fuel. It is what he does, what he has always done, since his childhood in Liverpool. It has helped him to reach the point where he completed a £60.7m transfer to Barcelona from Newcastle at the end of May. And it is driving him before Saturday’s World Cup quarter-final against Norway in Miami. Most people have seen the clip. There were 26 minutes on the clock at the Azteca Stadium on Sunday; England goalless against Mexico in the last 16. The Mexico manager, Javier Aguirre, who admits that swearing is second nature to him during matches, was in the mood to show off his English. He called out Gordon’s name and when the player turned around, he had a piece of advice. “Fuck you,” Aguirre shouted, before creasing up with laughter. Gordon did the same. Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballReece James remains injury doubt as England’s World Cup right-back woes go on
Defender unable to train with squad on Wednesday Morgan Rogers says training base ‘feels like home’ Reece James is a doubt for England’s World Cup quarter-final against Norway in Miami on Saturday after he was once again unable to train with the squad on Wednesday. The right-back has been unavailable since he injured a hamstring in England’s second group game, the 0-0 draw against Ghana in Boston. Thomas Tuchel knew he would be without him for at least two games – and most likely a potential last‑16 match, as well, which is what happened. James played no part in the epic victory against Mexico at the Estadio Azteca on Sunday. Continue reading...
