England must overcome fear and fatigue to succeed in the World Cup.
Massimiliano Allegri's teams are renowned for being good defensively, yet they conceded three goals without even offering any attacking threat, highlighting a significant issue.
Nigeria suffered a 2-1 defeat to Ivory Coast in the 2023 final, though Osimhen hit the back of the net just once during that tournament en route to the showpiece. The Galatasaray striker is now the Super Eagles' second-highest goalscorer in the country's history, with 31 goals in 45 appearances, and only needs six more to level Rashidi Yekini's tally of 37. He has netted eight of those goals in seven appearances in 2025, his most prolific calendar year with Nigeria.
This kind of scoring ineptitude hasn't occurred in almost 100 years. Fitting, I suppose, that this would happen to the Rangers during their centennial season. At some point no results needs to bring about change. Chris Drury made the decision to move on from certain players, and build this team to play Mike Sullivan hockey. With every player is currently in the worst shooting percentage slump of their careers, it's looking like a bad choice.
Arsenal are seeking silverware this season having gone close in the UEFA Champions League and Premier League last term. However, former English title winner Joleon Lescott believes the Gunners don't know how to control themselves. The two-time Premier League champion says Arsenal's exuberance could ultimately cost them at the business end of the season.

"As players, we have to move on," said left tackle Jordan Mailata. "That is the only way we can improve or strive to perform this season. We can't carry the baggage from last season -- good or bad -- you can't bring it in. It's just like a new relationship. You've got to buy into that because you see everyone else buying into it. And you can see who doesn't buy in because you get left behind."
