Doha. Harry Kane is ready for England’s meeting with the USA, a match that will be very special for Frederick Ljungberg.
In addition, English “Knights fans” should not count on participating in any World Cup match.
Here are today’s talks from English Camp.
Knight’s supporters were stopped
England fans who turned down England’s meeting Iran because of their crucifixion suits should not expect to be allowed into any match in Qatar wearing them.
The fan kit is intended to represent Saint George, the patron saint of England. Something they’ve done at several other World Cups.
But in the Middle East, the Crusaders are associated with horrors such as rape, bloodbaths, and the occupation of Arab countries.
– I think this is naivety, not their intentions, Ashley Brown, head of the Football Supporters’ Union, tells The Mirror.
They dress like St. George, the patron saint, but they probably don’t understand the meaning of what they’re wearing.
A Twitter video, showing the duo being pulled out of the ring, has had over a million views.
Ljungberg’s followers meet
England’s meeting with the USA on Friday will be very special for Frederick Ljungberg. The reason is that two of his former players are facing each other at Al Bayt Stadium, Bouakio Saka, 21, and Younes Moussa, 19 (he will turn 20 in a few days).
The duo began their careers at Arsenal’s Hale End academy and played in the same team during Ljungberg’s tenure as youth coach.
Since his achievement in 2019, Saka has been keen to highlight the importance of the Swede to his development.
– He challenged me like no other coaches did. He pushed me and saw my potential in a way that others did not, Saca said earlier this year.
Younes Moussa, who left Arsenal for Valencia in 2019, can only agree.
– Freddie Ljungberg was a very good coach, a great inspiration for me, says the American.
– Once put a movie about “Invincible”. It was amazing to see what they accomplished.
The Daily Mail spoke to Ljungberg, who is speaking about the upcoming World Cup match.
– The Swede says it’s unimaginable to see that’s really cool.
The steps they have taken in the past five or six years show how fast things can go in football.
Kane is ready for the game
Harry Kane injured his ankle during the meeting with Iran.
The England captain continued to play for a while but was x-rayed the other day as a precaution.
However, during Thursday’s practice, Kane appeared with the other players and had no issues during the quarter that reporters were allowed to attend.
He’s fine with Harry, he completed training without problems, Gareth Southgate confirms.
– We watched him last week because we knew the stress he was in, so we are always aware of it. Some players need more training than others.
The meeting with the USA will take place at 22:00 local time on Friday evening (20:00 Swedish time). England currently stands on three points and the United States on one.
