Watch Spain at 1-0 last night. That’s courage. That’s bravery. And then watch England at 1-0. What’s the difference?
We are a better team than Argentina, I’ve no doubt in my mind. But we deserved to get beat in the end. In fact, it could have been 4-1.
Bringing on 3 defenders at 1-0 up. What message does that send? I wrote it in my Daily Mail column after the Mexico game. Until we understand that courage and bravery is controlling possession under pressure and not booting / heading it up the field 40 yards then this will always be the end result.

"Frank Lampard played 60-odd games season after season. I don't remember player welfare being spoken about then"
The welfare of current players is "off the scale", Burnley boss Sean Dyche believes

Despite COVID cases growth recently in the UK, primarily down to the Omicron variant, patients in UK hospitals has actually fallen.
Hospitalisation can be a lagging indicator, but that is usually a 6 to 8 day lag, so we should have seen significant movement in the data by now.
Some good news this morning from South Africa :
- Omicron does cause milder symptoms
- Two Pfizer jabs are 70% effective against hospitalisation
- Study finds 38 admissions per 1,000 Omicron cases compared to 101 per 1,000 for Delta
