Key events
“Arguably the worst football match ever played”
That’s how the ever-breezy Barney Ronay described the first 80 minutes of England 1-1 Uruguay at Wembley last night. Ben White scored, was booed and gave away the penalty that Fede Valverde equalised from.
This was un-football, non-sport, an activity that seemed to approach a point of nothingness, no action, no content. All of it soundtracked by the classic Wembley atmosphere, a reminder that there is no more profound silence than the silence of tens of thousands of people.

Preamble
Right, who’s ready for four hours of England chat? No, I’m just kidding. I think we’d all had enough of football for one day year by the full-time whistle last night. I’ll sift through the main talking points and hopefully find some positives from one of those evenings at Wembley.
In terms of live action, today is mainly about the Women’s Super League. There are three local derbies on offer on Merseyside, in Manchester and north London as the WSL enters its final straight. United v City at Old Trafford has massive consequences for the title race.
On a day fairly light in men’s football (Scotland v Japan aside), I want to hear from you – predictions for the World Cup, reaction to playoff joy/heartache this week or if you’re heading to an EFL game this afternoon, let me know what’s going through your mind by sending us an email.
I’ll also keep you across any news items from the football world, like if another 70-something manager comes out of retirement for one more job.
