We pick Neville’s best England team
With three wins from three England have qualified for the knockout stages in style – but who will Phil Neville pick next?
Natalie Sawyer is joined by former England, Chelsea and West Ham defender Claire Rafferty and from The Times and Sunday Times journalists Molly Hudson and Rebecca Myers to analyse England’s best XI.
Neville has made 12 changes since the opening win over Scotland and says he will continue to rotate – but who should he be picking and does chopping and changing help or hinder motivation?
Elsewhere, Scotland crashed out after throwing away a three-goal lead and suffering one of the cruellest refereeing decisions of the tournament – we debate whether VAR has gone too far?
And as interest in the World Cup increases, why are so few people buy tickets for matches? Our guests explain what the atmosphere is really like in France.
