He's a good golfer too. He's really great.' Kane said it happened 18 months ago in Florida and is envious of Trump's golf game at the age of 80.

GERMANY 1-1 PARAGUAY (PARAGUAY WIN 4-3 ON PENS) - RIATH AL-SAMARRAI AT BOSTON STADIUM: For those who want to see Jurgen Klopp back on a touchline in the near future‚ then Germany may have performed at least one good deed at this World Cup. To all other ends‚ they failed dismally. By the time their demise was sealed by Paraguay‚ via Jose Canale's strike at the end of a wild penalty shootout‚ the only mystery was how long Julian Nagelsmann might survive in his post. Would it be hours or days? And will it be Klopp next? He has never hidden his interest and they have never had greater need. Because this was diabolical. This was bleak. This was a powerhouse nation up against a minnow and the minnow won.

The older I get‚ the more I realise I was wrong about strikers - and Harry Kane is an example of why I have changed my mind‚ writes MICHAEL OWEN. When I was young‚ I thought the great goalscorers were simply born that way. I believed finishing was instinct. You either had it or you didn't. I probably thought that about myself.

For players seeking a transfer‚ there's no better opportunity to put themselves in the shop window than at a World Cup. You might recall James Rodriguez‚ then a somewhat little-known midfielder for Monaco‚ announcing himself on the world stage with six goals in Brazil. One of those‚ a long-range volley against Uruguay‚ will go down as one of the greatest strikes in World Cup history. Weeks later‚ Real Madrid came calling with a bid of more than £70million.

Marc Cucurella's partner has suggested she is struggling to cope with his £52million transfer away from Chelsea after his exit was confirmed in a rapid turnaround on Monday morning. Spain left back Cucurella‚ 27‚ is returning to his homeland to join Real Madrid after their new manager‚ Jose Mourinho‚ not only suddenly entered the race but rapidly won it with the package agreed ahead of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Just hours before Cucurella had repeated several times in media interviews that he did not want to be distracted by club news while away at the World Cup and added that he had spoken with Chelsea's new manager Xabi Alonso and had taken a great deal of confidence from that conversation.

TOM COLLOMOSSE: Despite producing global stars like Johan Cruyff‚ Dennis Bergkamp‚ Marco van Basten and Ronald Koeman‚ the Netherlands have never felt the joy of lifting the World Cup. And unless they learn to hold on to leads over the coming days and weeks‚ that drought will not end this summer. As the game's greatest prize eluded him as a player‚ Koeman is determined to make amends as a coach. But his team are far more dour than previous versions and in Japan‚ they had opponents who can cause plenty of damage in this tournament.

IAN LADYMAN IN NEW JERSEY: Brazil haven't lost the opening game of a World Cup since 1934 and only the brilliance of Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior saved them here in New Jersey. All of Carlo Ancelotti's nightmares came true in an opening half an hour at the MetLife that saw AFCON champions Morocco take the lead and threaten to blow the five-time champions off the face of the planet. The great Italian coach perhaps knew he was taking a risk by pairing 34-year-old Casemiro with Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes at the heart of his midfield as temperatures nudged 90 degrees at kick-off.
