The match in New Jersey ‚ which finished 2-0 thanks in large part to Jude Bellingham's goal and assist for Harry Kane in an improved second half‚ was painfully familiar for England so far at this tournament. Boss Thomas Tuchel cut an angry figure on the sidelines‚ barking orders at Kane just three minutes in‚ and honing in on Rashford and Saka during the first hydration break. For former England striker Shearer there was plenty that was going wrong in the opening 45 minutes but it was Rashford and Saka‚ two of the changes Tuchel made to the starting line-up after the 0-0 draw with Ghana‚ that were the focus of his attention.

Alan Shearer has claimed that Portugal boss Roberto Martinez could be unable to take off an underperforming Cristiano Ronaldo at the World Cup due to the fading legend's extreme 'power'. The Al Nassr star looked a shadow of his former self in Portugal's opening group-stage draw against DR Congo‚ showing every bit of his 41 years. Despite failing to register a shot on target‚ Martinez opted against taking Ronaldo off - a decision that drew criticism from some quarters‚ with suggestions that the Spaniard was 'scared' to replace him.
