England maintained their winning start to the 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign with a comfortable victory over Albania in Tirana. Albania provided more of a challenge than hapless San Marino in England's opening 5-0 win at Wembley but once they had survived an early scare when Myrto Uzuni missed a great chance for the side ranked 66th in the world, this was routine for Gareth Southgate's side. England captain Harry Kane lifted the mediocrity of an attritional first half on a slow surface when he scored his 33rd goal for his country, a superbly guided diving header from Luke Shaw's cross seven minutes before the interval. This set the platform for a more positive second-half display, Mason Mount adding a composed second in the 63rd minute after sustained England pressure saw Phil Foden's effort turned on to the post by Albania keeper Etrit Berisha and Kane lifting a close-range shot over the top. England stretched their unbeaten run in World Cup qualifiers to 23 games but now face their sternest test so far in this campaign as Poland and their master marksman Robert Lewandowski come to Wembley on Wednesday (19:45 BST). Reaction from Tirana as England beat Albania 'Now Tuchel picks him everyone will agree' - how 'exceptional' Mount is proving critics wrong Listen to the latest Football Daily podcast Kane's class lifts England Kane had been going through something of a drought by his own standards. His previous England goal came 500 days ago, in a Euro 2020 qualifier against Kosovo, and his header in Tirana ended a run of 496 minutes without scoring. Kane's class, however, remains permanent so it was no surprise that he was the man to break the deadlock after England had struggled to break down a resilient Albania defence, the beneficiary of a superb left-flank delivery from Shaw. It was also a good moment for the recalled Shaw, whose impressive recent form for Manchester United merited his inclusion. Southgate may well have his ideal Euro 2020 starting line-up fixed in his mind but Shaw, who has assisted goals in his last three England starts, is emerging as a genuine rival to Chelsea's Ben Chilwell. Mount's cool finish from Kane's pass after Raheem Sterling intercepted Berat Djimsiti's pass was another illustration of his growing stature and Chelsea's rising star must surely be a certain starter when England open their Euro 2020 finals campaign against Croatia at Wembley on 13 June. England had the odd anxious moment in defence, especially when Uzuni blazed over with only keeper Nick Pope to beat and the scoreline goalless, but they were largely untroubled. The more accurate measure of where England's current rate of progress stands will come when they face the world-class talent of Bayern Munich's Lewandowski. Southgate's formation taking shape Southgate's decision to select two defensively-minded midfield men once more in Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips was another strong indicator that this will be his preferred formation at the Euros this summer. It is a game plan which has looked stodgy on occasions, particularly in two Uefa Nations League games against Denmark, a goalless draw in Copenhagen and a defeat at Wembley, and leaves Southgate open to accusations of over-caution. Southgate's single-minded approach means he will not worry about outside noise if he is convinced this is the right way to go. The proof, as ever, will come with results before and during the summer's delayed Euro 2020 showpiece. One factor in Southgate's plans will be the fitness of Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson. He is recovering following groin surgery and while Liverpool are hopeful he will return before the end of the season, this is by no means guaranteed. If he is fit, it would appear he will start alongside Rice in that opener against Croatia. Phillips was pushed forward into a more advanced position in the second half but this now seems to be emerging as Southgate's favoured strategy. The debate continues around England's goalkeeping position with Everton's Jordan Pickford out injured but he has been Southgate's favoured keeper for some time so it still seems to be his position to lose if he is fit. Southgate will have learned little about Burnley keeper Nick Pope other than what he already knows and what he has seen in England's training camp because he has had nothing to do against either San Marino or Albania. He may have more to do when Lewandowski gets him in his sights at Wembley. This England performance, ultimately, was efficient as opposed to spectacular but Southgate can be satisfied with six points, although anything less would have prompted serious questions. This can be filed under "job done" and now it is on to Poland on Wednesday. #uk #news #AlbaniavsEngland #englandvsalbania #worldcupqualifiers #Albania #HarryKane #MasonMount #LukeShaw #englandalbania #ashleycole #uksportsnews #england #footballenglandalbania2021
Former English skipper Michael Vaughan is at it again Vaughan who has built quite a reputation with his prophecies has now predicted the scoreline of the upcoming three-match ODI series between India and England. Vaughan who has faced the heat from fans for his wrong predictions in the past feels India will whitewash England in the ODI series. भारत और इंग्लैंड के बीच एकदिवसीय सीरीज के पहले मैच से पहले इंग्लैंड टीम के पूर्व कप्तान माइकल वॉन ने बड़ी भविष्यवाणी की है। माइकल वॉन ने सोमवार को भविष्यवाणी करते हुए बताया है कि कौन सी टीम इस सीरीज को जीतेगी और कितने अंतर से जीतेगी। वॉन का कहना है कि मेजबान भारतीय टीम तीन मैचों की एकदिवसीय सीरीज को 3-0 से जीतेंगे, क्योंकि मेहमान टीम के पास बड़े खिलाड़ी नहीं हैं। #MichaelVaughan #TeamIndia #IndiavsEnglandODIs -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to OneIndia Hindi Channel for the latest updates on Politics, Sports, Entertainment and related videos...

An after match review for QPR v Millwall - EFL Champ Weds 17th March 2021 @ KPFS - 7pm K.O A game of 2 halves for the R'ss against the Lions @ KPFS in which saw the Lions lead 2 - 0 at halftime which could of been more had they taken their chances and some sloppy play by the R'ss contributed towards the scoreline but the Lions were the better side overall in the 1st half. The 2nd half started a better for the R'ss and got an early goal by Austin to get back in the game but the Lions had further big chances to extend their lead but didnt and the R'ss got on the scoresheet once again through a Johansen scrambled goal ( they all count lol ) and the game was end to end with both sides trying to get a 3rd, would anyone get it ? With the game looking like ending in a draw the R'ss had a corner which De Wijs scored with a header from and put the R'ss ahead with the game nearly over and the Lions pushed for an equaliser but time ran out and the R'ss won a game which didnt look like happening at half time and the Lions were left to lick their wounds after losing a game they feel they should of got something from in a game of 2 halves.
