      England kitman says shirt blunder in Tuchel’s first game will be fixed for Latvia after eagle-eyed fan points out error

      by

      ENGLAND’S kitman admitted to making a shirt blunder in Thomas Tuchel’s first game in charge.The German’s reign got underway on Friday with a routine 2-0 win over Albania.Eagle-eyed fans noticed a mistake on England’s shirt against AlbaniaCredit: GettyThe kit numbers are meant to be in the middle as pictured but were instead under the Nike logo last time outCredit: GettyBut during the game, eagle-eyed fans spotted a subtle difference to England’s kit.Supporters noticed that the players’ squad numbers were printed on the wrong part of the shirt.In the fixture against Albania, the numbers were put just underneath the Nike logo on the left.But they are normally situated in the middle, with the sportswear brand’s iconic swoosh and England’s badge either side.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLFans questioned on social media: “The football shirt nerd in me realised a slight difference to England’s shirt. Why have the numbers moved from the Euros?”Three Lions kitman Pat Frost replied to the query, admitting he made a mistake during printing and it will be fixed for tonight’s game against Latvia.He said: “Printed the first shirt and put them in wrong place so then had to do them in all in same place.”Back to the usual spot on Monday. But well done for noticing.”Most read in FootballBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UKOthers thought the change was down to a new “crazy Fifa rule”.But Frost revealed it is up to England where they put the digits, saying: “You don’t legally have to have numbers on the front of the shirts as it happens, but they will be in the centre on Monday.”‘That was missing’ – Brutally blunt Thomas Tuchel reveals disappointment in Rashford and Foden’s England performancesFans also noticed how players now have a designated squad number every international window rather than the starting XI wearing No1 to No11.Frost explained: “Squad numbers are better for the kit department as we can print shirts in advance… it’s not our call though.”England ratings vs Albania as Lewis-Skelly enjoys dream debut but Tuchel fails to solve Foden issue By Tom BarclayMYLES LEWIS-SKELLY made history and Harry Kane extended his own record-breaking as England sunk Albania in Thomas Tuchel’s first game.Lewis-Skelly became the youngest player to score on his Three Lions debut and top goal-getter Kane notched his 70th international strike as Tuchel began his World Cup qualifying campaign with a modest 2-0 win.New boy Dan Burn partnered Ezri Konsa in central defence at Wembley, while Marcus Rashford and Curtis Jones were also handed starts.Meanwhile, Tuchel wrestled with the same issue faced by predecessor Sir Gareth Southgate – deciding where to fit in Phil Foden.Left-back Lewis-Skelly, 18, slotted home on 20 minutes following a delightful turn and even better pass from Jude Bellingham.But England stuttered after the break – until skipper Kane classily took down a Declan Rice pass and curved home the clincher.Here’s how SunSport’s Tom Barclay rated the Three Lions in German manager Tuchel’s opening match… More

      Jamal Musiala shows ‘500 IQ’ to score tap-in for Germany without opponents Italy noticing

      by

      GERMANY star Jamal Musiala scored a “genius” goal against Italy without them even noticing.The German national team played out an entertaining 3-3 draw against the Azzurri in the quarter-finals of the Nations League on Sunday at the Signal Iduna Park.Jamal Musiala scored a ‘genius’ goal for Germany against ItalyGermany star Musiala caught Italy napping and scored in front of open goalItaly didn’t know what hit them after Musiala scored Germany’s secondCredit: GettyJulian Nagelsmann’s men, who were leading 2-1 from the first leg, had opened the scoring with Joshua Kimmich’s penalty kick in the half-hour mark.And the hosts doubled their lead just six minutes later with a smart corner-kick that caught Italy napping.Paris Saint-Germain star goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma had earlier denied a header by Borussia Monchengladbach ace Tim Kleindienst with a stunning save that led to a corner down the right.Donnarumma was incensed with his defence following Germany’s earlier effort and tore into his team-mates.Read More on FootballThey then got into a heated exchange inside the box while Kimmich, who’s been linked with a move to Arsenal and Liverpool, was getting ready to take on the spot-kick.Bayern Munich star Musiala, 22, noticed how distracted his opponents were and positioned himself in front of goal.Kimmich saw his Bayern team-mate and delivered a quick cross that allowed the playmaker to finish in front of open goal with Donnarumma away as he was still yelling at his defenders.Fans were left absolutely stunned with Germany’s incredible awareness and Italy’s “laziness”.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSOne fan tweeted: “500 IQ by Musiala to stand there and actually demand the ball while everyone else just stood there and waited for Donnarumma to stop crying.”Another reminisced on Trent Alexander-Arnold’s genius corner-kick against Barcelona that completed Liverpool’s stunning Champions League comeback in 2019: “Barcelona fans having nostalgic feelings rn.”I played with Bellingham, Musiala and Palmer – England star blew me awayA third wrote: “That was a lesson for all players and trainers. Good material. Embarrassing though, very…for Italy defence.”This fan said: “That was pure genius, Kimmich really saw the moment.”And that one commented: “That’s how you punish laziness!”Kleindienst scored Germany’s third just before half-time and appeared to have completed an absolute triumph for the hosts.But Italy fought back and saved their dignity with a brace by Moise Kean and a last-gasp equaliser by Giacomo Raspadori.However, the Germans went through to the semi-finals thanks to a 5-4 win on aggregate and will face Portugal in June, with the winner taking on either Spain or France in the final.
