After their 1966 victory, the World Cup moments for the Three Lions have consistently carried a sense of sorrow. Memories include Rooney's robust tackle on Carvalho in 2006, Lampard's disallowed goal against Germany in 2010, and for the Lionesses, recollections of their defeat against Japan in 2015, Alex Morgan's tea celebration in 2018, and most recently, their 2023 final loss to Spain.

It's raining goals for Buffon and Kawashima
Italy's epic 4-3 victory over Japan will undoubtedly go down as one of the greatest ever Confederations Cup matches.
Supporters were treated to a feast of football as goals from Daniele De Rossi, Mario Balotelli and Sebastian Giovinco, as well as an own goal from Atsuto Uchida, sealed Italy's place in the semi-finals of the competition.
Do spare a thought for the two goalkeepers involved, though, with Gianluigi Buffon and Eiji Kawashima facing a downpour of goals over the 90 minutes in the Itaipava Arena Pernambuco.

Football's biggest names land in Brazil ahead of Confederations Cup
With the World Cup under a year away, host nation Brazil stage the 2013
Confederations Cup with the rest of the world set to get a glimpse of
what the country has to offer.

And if that game alone does not boast enough big names, Spain have a star cast including Juan Mata, Fernando Torres and Andres Iniesta, Italy have Mario Balotelli and Andrea Pirlo, and Uruguay boast Edinson Cavani and, of course, Liverpool striker Luis Suarez.

Sir Alex sweats as Kagawa & Van Persie limp back
With Wayne Rooney already sidelined with a gashed leg, the last result Sir Alex Ferguson will have wanted from the international break is more injuries to his collection of forwards.
He will not have been pleased, then, to see Robin van Persie and Shinji Kagawa limp off their flights back to Manchester. Van Persie was substituted at half-time in the Netherlands' match against Hungary, while Kagawa did not play for Japan against Iraq.
Sir Alex does, at least, have Javier Hernandez and Danny Welbeck to call upon as the Red Devils prepare to face Wigan Athletic.

Team GB & Spain fall at first hurdle
The men's London 2012 Olympic football tournament kicked off on Thursday, and there was no shortage of entertainment - as well as a few surprises along the way.
Despite Craig Bellamy's first-half opener, Team GB were pegged back by a physical Senegal side and had to settle for a draw at Old Trafford.
And earlier, in the biggest shock of the round, Spain, featuring Juan Mata and Javi Martinez among others were beaten by Japan.
With the host nation and one of the favourites to win the gold medal stumbling at the first hurdle, another nation could emerge as victors.

Kagawa's sun rising at Manchester United
The news broke on Tuesday that Manchester United have launched a bid for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Shinji Kagawa.
The 23-year-old has scored 39 goals in 71 appearances for Jurgen Klopp's men as they have won back-to-back Bundesliga titles.
No wonder then that Sir Alex Ferguson is keen to do all he can to snag the Japan international ...
