Commentators at the Euros have come under fire for referring to Trent Alexander-Arnold as ‘Trent’ during games.
Some of those behind the mic have been targeted on social media. While I’m not condoning that, just imagine if those same commentators referred to England stars Kane as ‘Harry’, Bellingham as ‘Jude’ or Walker as ‘Kyle’?
As one sage on social media put it. If the Liverpool vice-captain was called Ian Alexander-Arnold, there’s no way he’d be referred to as Ian during games. Fair point.

So the French Football Federation have decided to have a special mask made for Mbappe, in the hope he will be able to play in the third group game. So Mbappe will have a mask to go with his Superman cape? Look out Poland.

Having lost the last Euros final on penalties, Gareth Southgate can be forgiven for being paranoid.
So it’s probably no surprise he’s leaving no stone unturned in his bud to go a step further this time round and win Euro 2024 in Germany.
Southgate is getting the England players to practice spot kicks every day after training. He picks no more than five each time and asks them to spend at least 30 minutes working on technique and temperament.
