Nice to be back in the Al Bayt Stadium – and England fans may agree.

Gareth Southgate’s side have played twice here and not lost
Well, they haven’t lost anywhere, have they? More to the point, they haven’t conceded a goal in their two games here in the Al Bayt either.
Match stats so far
⚽️ France draw first blood

"It was a tight opening 20 minutes but even the most passionate England fan would have to admit that France were on top, just"
⚽️ Kane comes to life

England enjoyed more of the possession after going behind and nearly equalised through Harry Kane
Minutes later and Kane was in again, pinching the ball and turning the French defence on the right.

This time he got to the edge of the area before going down under a clumsy challenge by Dayot Upamecano. Despite clear contact the referee said no penalty and the VAR agreed

The government has announced a £229m deal with Saab to purchase more of the Swedish-developed fire-and-forget missiles, which have proved extremely effective at destroying Russian tanks thetimes.co.uk/article/britis…
Weighing 12.5kg (28lb), the shoulder-launched missile systems are manufactured in Belfast by the subcontractor Thales UK, a subsidiary of a French defence company.

They have a range of up to 800m (half a mile) and use a predicted line of sight to lock on to targets
The UK has donated about 7,000 missiles to Ukraine, a figure representing about half the British stockpile, defence sources have told The Times.

Each missile costs about £30k, meaning the new contract should replace all those given to Kyiv thetimes.co.uk/article/britis…
