England are in action tonight in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifiers, and the imperious, enigmatic, previously erratic Everton goalkeeper, Jordan Pickford, has been selected to play in goal for the Three Lions.

Saturday 7 June 2025 

17:00 Andorra v England ITV1

Pickford now has more England caps than any other English goalkeeper except Peter Shilton — he only needs just 50 more caps to top the best ever.

I see where Tuchel has said “It would be ideal if one of his goalkeepers was playing European football next season.”

Is he putting pressure on Pickford?

That's the sort of thing coaches like Tuchel always say however he's come to England's rescue enough times while playing for us that Jordan's experience shot stopping for a poorer side than a European qualified one is beneficial.

I don't think there should be the same caché playing for a European qualified side these days given the recent Europa league final especially how many non- Champions are in the club tournaments.

Andrew,

I find it unbelievable that Tuchel picked Jones in the squad and plays him at fullback today and 3 fullbacks in the squad?

One word sums up this England manager, Henderson!

It's just shite.

Tuchel just as bad as every other England manager.

Burn is shite.
James playing out of position.
Henderson is shite.
Palmer and Bellingham - brilliant players but prima donnas etc….

Tuchel out!!!

Having been thoroughly entertained watching the RL Challenge Cup final, this England game is a load of pony.

Darts is on ITV4 and boxing on Sky if you are fed up of watching this tripe

Is there any need for this Andorra goalkeeper to keep on falling to the ground every time he catches the ball, or saves a piss-weak shot?

He's doing my head in with it.

Paul (8),

I watched the rugby final, a game played by men, real men, and I would have enjoyed it a bit more ‘til Hull equalised with 2 minutes to go and won the game with the conversion.

I had a tenner on Warrington but felt sorry for the Warrington defender who made the mistake for Hull's try — he'll take a long time to forget that!

Absolute garbage

All them caps Pickford has had for England and he's never even scored, absolutely disgraceful.

Dave,

If you want to watch a game played by men, watch the Munster hurling final now between Limerick and Cork — unbelievable.

Rat Boy with an Alice band. Nob.

Manager, coaches and players should be embarrassed by this debacle.

Great game of rugby today, never disappoints.

Then football comes on. 😴

So these are what Tuchel calls champions league playing players? Walking around like a bunch of strutting peacocks? Bellingham and Palmer are generational talents but they need to show a bit more respect to team mates and opponents alike ie a bit more effort like

Awww... Harry says it was too hot.

USA vs Turkey later on... can't see it showing anywhere on UK TV.

Is it on Peacock, Mr Gaynes?

I watched some of the Rugby League and it was entertaining, even though I didn't know what was going on. Mark will have to bring a white board before England v Australia.

I switched over for the football. I can only think of one word. Turgid.

Surely there could be a filter system for there to avoid matches like this? A bit like the FA Cup qualifying rounds.

They (England) play Senegal next week. At least we get to see Gana and Ndiaye.

Tuchel's ears are problem for me.

His left ear sticks out at a weird angle, much more acute — or is it obtuse? I always get those mixed up.

Anyway, I don't trust him.

Harry Redknapp was right, Tuchel is a German spy sent over to fuck up the English team.
Liam Mogan

I never trust men with really skinny legs. Like Slenderman and Bill Cosby

Skinny legs, an obtuse ear and a comb over. Tuchel is probably an alien.

Tuchel's comment that “it would ideal if one of his goalkeepers played in Europe next season” is patently ludicrous.

Does he believe that Dean Henderson (2 caps) will be good enough to dislodge Jordan (75 caps) by playing in the Europa League?

Can't imagine previous world class England goalkeepers such as Banks and Shilton being treated in such an ignorant manner.

Thankfully I only endured the last 35 minutesof today's match. Evidently another dismal managerial appointment.

Tuchel's grandfather first saw England through a periscope.

Christy (16),

I was never fussy on the hurling games — those sticks get in the way! Give me a Gaelic football game and I'll watch it all day long, although I'm glad Seamus turned his back on that and joined us instead.

Anyone who picks Burns and Konsa as their centre-back pairing needs to have their managerial credentials questioned.

Gollum lookalike even said his goalkeepers need to play in Europe – not thinking that none of his selected keepers are in Europe.

Complete dope and awful performance.

USA vs Turkey on Fubo TV – in Español!

Venue: Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field, Hartford, Connecticut.

No Cenk Tosun for Turkey (Shame!) but this kid Alladin is playing No 20 — Oguz Aydin, winger at Fenerbahçe — linked with Everton!

Go USA! 1-0 up inside the 1st minute.

A brilliant finish by Jack McGlynn.

Turkey just missed a sitter

Can't believe Poch has lowered his standards to manage the USA. He could still do a job in one of the big European leagues

1-1

Hilarious goal for Turkey as Johnny fires his clearance into the Turkish player's knee and in past the US keeper.

Uh-oh, now 1-2, Turkey score again! Aydin likes to get forward, his shot deflected, I think, kneading to the goal.
