The Guardian Football‘Maggie Thatcher, can you hear me?’ The story behind the iconic Norway v England commentary
Bjørge Lillelien’s famous rant after 1981 clash stemmed from Norwegian obsession with English football What do Lord Nelson, Lord Beaverbrook, Sir Winston Churchill, Sir Anthony Eden, Clement Attlee, Henry Cooper and Lady Diana have in common?

The Guardian Football‘Is he a nice guy? No. He’s a good guy’: how Harry Kane became an England great
Figures who worked with striker in his formative years recall a self-belief – even when his talent did not stand out There is another version of reality in which Harry Kane is not England’s greatest goalscorer but a goalkeeper. On his first day at Ridgeway Rovers, his first club, the coach Dave Bricknell asked whether anyone fancied going in goal. A six-year-old Kane threw up his hand – and he was pretty good. “I thought I’d found a goalkeeper,” Bricknell says. “At that age, you don’t get many kids that don’t mind standing in front of a ball.” It was quickly pointed out to him by parents that Kane was even better on the pitch. But that wasn’t the only time Kane almost strayed down the goalkeeping path. Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballEgypt’s World Cup adventure gave the country its first collective joy in 15 years | Karim Zidan
In a nation where more than 70% of people rely on food subsidies the team’s history-making campaign brought welcome celebration For nearly 15 minutes on Tuesday it seemed Egypt were about to complete one of the great World Cup upsets. The Pharaohs were up 2-0 against Argentina, the world champions. The goalkeeper, Mostafa Shobeir, had earlier saved a penalty to deny Lionel Messi an equaliser. Then, late in the second half, Argentina staged a remarkable comeback. Inspired by their talisman, they scored three goals in 13 minutes to book a spot in the quarter-finals , ending Egypt’s magical run.

It was an emotional reception, the players standing and applauding in a shared moment of gratitude – a reminder that, despite the heart-wrenching end, this team had given Egyptians their first glimpse of collective joy in 15 years, dating back to the 2011 Egyptian revolution.

The Guardian FootballTeam for now, not a squad for later – Spurs are spending big but what is it for? | Jonathan Liew
Tottenham’s strategies have changed over the years and this summer’s transfer splurge marks a sharp turn away from the Levy years A couple of weeks ago, Sotheby’s in London concluded one of its biggest art auctions. In all, the sale of 25 modern and contemporary works raised almost £300m. Seated Nude With Necklace, by Modigliani, went for £41.5m; La Belle Promenade, by Magritte, went for £13.5m. And amid all the feverish commentary on the resilience of the London art market and the enduring appeal of post‑war pieces among the younger generation of collectors, one question above all presented itself: was this all for the benefit of Roberto De Zerbi? Naturally, it would be premature to link the sale of a significant portion of Joe Lewis’s art collection to the lavish summer transfer spending of the football club he owns. But of course money is money, and in a summer where Tottenham Hotspur are spending an unprecedented £230m in the transfer market, funded in large part through cash injections from the Lewis family, the connections make themselves. Are Tottenham’s owners selling off the family heirlooms to pay for Jan Paul van Hecke? And on a wider level, what exactly are the Premier League’s 17th-best club playing at here? Continue reading...
