If I was a defender‚ I'd lose more sleep over facing Erling Haaland than I would Harry Kane. But if you asked me which striker I'd want leading my team‚ I'd choose Kane every time. That isn't a contradiction. As a defender‚ what keeps you awake isn't always the better footballer‚ it's the player who makes you feel completely helpless. Haaland does that. At times‚ he's simply too big‚ too strong and too quick. If a cross is hung up to the back post‚ if he gets a yard in a foot race or if he catches you one-on-one in open space‚ those are the moments that terrify defenders. You look foolish. Just ask Brazil centre back Gabriel after Norway's 2-1 victory in the last round.

MICHAEL OWEN: I think we mistake what bravery in football actually is. We are celebrating players throwing themselves in front of shots as if they've gone to war. Come on‚ a football is a bag of air. If I walked into my local pub and asked 11 blokes if they'd throw their body in front of a ball for England‚ they'd all do it. It felt like all we needed at the Azteca was for one of our players to have a ball smashed in their face and a bit of claret on the white jersey and they'd be worshipped forever. That's a typical English attitude and it goes back generations. It's nonsense and we're fooling ourselves.

The United States have been dumped out of the World Cup‚ humiliated 4-1 by Belgium - and the gleeful reaction of the rest of the world. After FIFA reversed the red-card suspension of USA star Folarin Balogun following pressure from Donald Trump‚ critics had warned that the integrity of the beautiful game was at stake. And‚ led by the Trump-dancing Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku‚ the reaction has been one of mockery. And Iran FA spokesperson this morning said: 'Now the whole world is dancing to celebrate politics' humiliating defeat by football.' While Belgium‚ who were furious with Trump's Balogun intervention‚ wrote on their official social media accounts: 'Overturn this.'

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY LUKE AUGUSTUS: The World Cup knockout stages are firmly underway in what is the biggest edition in the tournament's history‚ having been expanded to 48 teams. However‚ there has been a rather large elephant in rooms across Canada‚ Mexico and the United States... the absence of Italy. In March‚ the four-time winners failed to qualify for a third-straight World Cup - a travesty which is alarmingly becoming the norm for a country with such a rich footballing pedigree. This summer marks 20 years since Italy were last triumphant - prevailing 5-3 on penalties against France‚ following a 1-1 draw after extra-time.
