OLIVER HOLT: The curtain will rise at the Principality Stadium on Sunday afternoon and the champions will walk out on to the stage ahead of the Community Shield. Arsenal 's cast will not look radically different. There will be a few extras and one or two new stars but nothing dramatic. There has been no need for drama. Just steady growth. Arsenal did not need to have a spectacular summer in the transfer market. It was important that they strengthened from a position of strength and they have started that process calmly by recruiting Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle. With two weeks of the window remaining‚ there is an argument that it is the best signing of the close season so far. Other arrivals are being discussed. The champions need reinforcements in defence where long-term injuries to William Saliba and Jurrien Timber are a concern and have led to an as-yet fruitless pursuit of Aston Villa 's Ezri Konsa.

OLIVER HOLT IN ATLANTA: In a futuristic‚ gleaming steel stadium‚ protected from the hellish heat that beat down outside by a translucent dome‚ England spent 68 minutes wrestling with nightmares and staring at a defeat that would have ranked alongside their loss to the USA at the 1950 World Cup in Belo Horizonte as the worst in their history. Undone by their own abysmal defending in this Round of 32 match‚ kept at bay by the heroic performance of DR Congo goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi and denied what looked like a certain penalty for a foul on Harry Kane by the Jordanian referee‚ England were stalked by thoughts of the humiliation of an early exit when they had come to win the World Cup. Instead‚ well‚ instead‚ just Harry Kane. It is as simple as that‚ really. Sure‚ Jude Bellingham played like a titan again and Anthony Gordon made a big difference when he came off the bench but when a crushing 1-0 defeat was only 15 minutes away‚ Kane stepped up and blasted England into a Round of 16 tie against Mexico City in the mighty Azteca Stadium on Sunday evening.
