 Three matches into Euro 2024, you could probably make a good 45-minute compilation of Jude Bellingham’s highlights. Trouble is, they would all be from the same 45 minutes.In a column on these pages on the eve of the tournament, one of my colleagues warned not to expect the world of a young man who turned 21 on Saturday and who arrived in Germany surely feeling the mental and physical toll of an historic first season at Real Madrid, which only ended in the Champions League final at the start of this month.Others, including Gareth Southgate, beat the same drum...

England need tired Jude Bellingham back to his best to deliver biggest moments

 Emma Raducanu makes her Centre Court return as she takes on Ekaterina Alexandrova at Wimbledon on Monday.The 21-year-old missed the grass-court season last year after undergoing surgery on her wrists and ankle, and it means this is just her third appearance in the main draw at SW19.Raducanu was beaten in the second round by Caroline Garcia in 2022, a year on from the fourth-round run that preceded her remarkable US Open triumph.The Briton needed a wildcard into the tournament this year but there have been promising signs on the grass courts, with a semi-final appearance in Nottingham and a...

The Duke of Sussex had to be dragged “kicking and screaming” by lawyers for the publisher of The Sun into allowing his personal emails to be examined for potential evidence in their ongoing legal battle, the High Court was told.Harry was accused of “obfuscation” and creating an “obstacle course” by News Group Newspapers (NGN) during its efforts to find relevant material for the litigation over the duke’s allegations of unlawful information gathering.At a one-day hearing on Thursday, the publisher’s lawyer said they were “extremely concerned” about the deletion of exchanges via the Signal messaging service between Harry and John Moehringer, the...

 Gareth Southgate has played down the prospect of significant changes to his England side against Slovakia and says Luke Shaw is still not ready to start.England head into Sunday's Euro 2024 last-16 tie here in Gelsenkirchen on the back of three enormously underwhelming performances in the group.Southgate used the same starting XI for the 1-0 win over Serbia and 1-1 draw with Denmark, but replaced Trent Alexander-Arnold with Conor Gallagher in midfield for the limp goalless draw with Slovenia.Kobbie Mainoo is set to come in for Gallagher against Slovakia as Southgate continues to search for the right balance in...

Have you ever met someone who is wise beyond their age? Such people are often referred to as old souls. They understand life and the world better than many zodiac signs. A soul’s age doesn’t necessarily match a person’s actual age. Instead, it advances based on the life experiences someone has.

 For all their difficulties and uncertainties at Euro 2024, England are overwhelming favourites to beat Slovakia in today’s last-16 tie.Despite a hard slog of a tournament for the Three Lions, they will be very much expected to book a spot in the quarter-finals against Switzerland when they return to Gelsenkirchen this evening.This venue was the scene of their only win at the Euros so far, a tight one-goal beating of Serbia, with two stalemates against Denmark and Slovenia leading to criticism of Gareth Southgate from virtually all corners and a serious deflating of the nation’s optimism.But, as Group C...

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

 Although Gareth Southgate was always clear that he would finish his current job either on an open-top bus parade or banished to the Tower of London, he probably didn’t have the indignity of being pelted with plastic beer cups on his personal bingo card of humiliations inflicted on England managers.He’s been here before, of course, donning a cardboard box in an ill-advised pizza commercial to indicate his remorse at missing that Euro 96 penalty. And just as when stepping up to take that penalty in the semi-final against Germany when more technically-gifted players shirked the challenge, sometimes Southgate’s sense...
