The feeling of fear that followed the defeat against the Czech Republic on Monday has given way to a defiant optimism and the Tartan army is now in full party mode ahead of their Euro 2020 collision with England at Wembley on Friday night.Despite Sadiq Khan's clear warning not to travel without a…

Several jaws fell to the floor last Sunday when English coach Gareth Southgate chose to leave Jadon Sancho from his 23-man squad for the Three Lions' opening Euro 2020 match against Croatia.Three players had to miss from England's 26-man camp, granted, but it was still a surprise to see Sancho - who enjoyed another outstanding season for Borussia Dortmund - sideways alongside Ben Chilwell and the injured Harry Maguire.But even though the 21-year-old may have been ruled out for that particular game, it is unlikely that he…

Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy and new manager Fabio Paratici are believed to have differing views on the club's ongoing search for a new manager.Spurs fired Jose Mourinho in April and ended the season under interim coach Ryan Mason. But the search for a new permanent manager has not yet yielded any success after a handful almost missed.Talks with former Chelsea and Inter boss Antonio Conte began, but further discussions were suspended, while an agreement to hire Paulo Fonseca collapsed at eleven o'clock.

Sweden stayed alive in Group E with an ugly 1-0 victory against Slovakia in Friday's first European Championship 2020 match.The first half was probably the most boring 45 minutes we've seen in this tournament so far, but thankfully the second half was not so bad. Milan Skriniar and Martin Dubravka had to pay attention to keep out great chances from Alexander Isak and Ludwig Augustinsson early in the half, but the biggest moment of the game came in the 75th minute, when Dubravka pulled down Robin Quaison in the box to give…

Ben White has emerged as a surprising transfer target for Arsenal this summer but given what it is expected to cost to land him, how can spending over £ 40m on defense be justified?Even without European football next season, the Gunners must have more money to play with than any of us first anticipated - although where these funds come from is unclear. KSE has no way of putting its hands in its pocket and financing transfers, but there are rumors that the club has recently taken out a significant loan - some of which will…

Euro 2020 has already proved to be worth the wait and one of the best things that has come out of the tournament so far has been the resurgence of the big man - not Sam Allardyce, we are of course referring to real goalkeepers.A whole host of sides have chosen to play with a large chunk of a center-forward (some of whom even have decent feet) leading the line and it's hard to understand why the goalkeeper's noble art ever went out of fashion.With this in mind, 90 Minutes has watched some of those tasked with providing a…
