'Confident' Lingard an 'interesting proposition' for Southgate
England 4-0 Andorra
Matthew Upson
Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 Live
A general requirement of Gareth Southgate is that players are playing week in, week out. That's been pretty clear, it's a selection process. But how much football Jesse Lingard is going to get regularly is up in the air. It's difficult for him to get into the Manchester United team this season.
It's interesting that West Ham didn't go in and sign him. Why that happened I don't know. They signed Croatian midfielder Nikola Vlasic in the end.
The impact he had, the games he had - he scored nine for West Ham towards the end of last season. He got back in the England team and played well again yesterday.
He's really confident, he's playing with freedom, he looks relaxed. It's an interesting proposition for Gareth Southgate as to how much football Jesse Lingard gets.
Long wait over for Lingard
England 4-0 Andorra
Jesse Lingard scored the other two goals, his
first for England since November 2018 against Croatia, 1022 days ago.
Yet the 28-year-old midfielder, who returned to the England squad after a successful loan spell with West Ham last season, is struggling to get game time with Manchester United after choosing not to leave before the transfer deadline - either permanently on loan.
Bamford has 'lots to build on' after debut
England 4-0 Andorra
Matthew Upson
Former England defender on the Football Daily podcast
The
main thing that Gareth Southgate needs to look after is that the team wins by
the right amount and performs well. If he feels it's not happening, you have to
put how someone might feel to one side and make the substitution.
It's the ruthlessness of the game, you accept it as a
player. I'm sure Patrick Bamford's dealt with that before, he's equipped to
deal with it.
He didn't play badly, it's just that balls didn't fall
to him in the right areas. He slashed at one in the beginning of the second
half, where he leant back with his left foot and you thought 'bit more
composure on that.'
But let's look at the positives. You're starting after your first call-up for England.
It's pretty rare that happens. He's
got lots to build on.

A good day for England's birthday boys
England 4-0 Andorra
And it turns out that Patrick Bamford, 28, has the same birthday as Bukayo Saka, eight years his junior.
The Arsenal forward became the first player to score on his birthday for the senior men's England team since Steven Gerrard against Hungary in May 2006.
'Dream come true' for Bamford
England 4-0 Andorra
Harry Kane came off the bench to replace Leeds striker Patrick Bamford, who became the first player to make his senior men's England debut on his birthday since
Johnny Nicholls against Scotland in April 1954.
Meanwhile, Harry Kane came off the bench against Andorra on Sunday to claim his 40th goal from just 63 caps for
England,.
That saw the Tottenham striker become the sixth player to reach 40 goals for the senior men's team
after Wayne Rooney (53), Bobby Charlton (49), Gary Lineker (48), Jimmy Greaves
(44) and Michael Owen (40).
'Bale's quality shines through'
Belarus 2-3 Wales
Matthew Upson
Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 Live
It was amazing, [Gareth Bale's] quality shines through. It was real drama, to score the winner in the 93rd minute with the situation Wales are in.
There was such a tough series of events in the build-up to that game, with players out, visas and what have you - to come through with a win with that group of players, I'm really pleased for them.
Bale claims hat-trick as Wales fight back
Belarus 2-3 Wales
Wales remain third in Group E, seven points behind group leaders Belgium with two games in hand, after fighting back to beat Belarus in Russia.
Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale moved to 36 goals in 98 international appearances after converting two penalties before sealing his hat-trick by scoring a stoppage-time winner.
Lukaku marks 100th cap with 67th goal
Belgium 3-0 Czech Republic
Back to the European qualifiers now, and Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku marked his 100th game for Belgium with his 67th international goal during a comfortable win over the Czech Republic.
Eden Hazard then scored his first international goal since November 2019 before Lukaku flicked the ball on for Alexis Saelemaekers to score Belgium's third.
Lukaku also got booked, which means he will miss Wednesday's game with Belarus in Russia - and can instead return to London early.
'Copa America was given a pass, why not this?'
Tim Vickery
South American football expert on BBC Radio 5 Live
The surprise here is that football wasn't given a pass. Over the past year, football has been used to getting a pass.
There are still huge travel restrictions on private citizens around South America - the border between Argentina and Brazil is closed, for example. But there's an agreement between the health ministers of the 10 South American countries that for international matches, footballers can come and go.
As we found out in Sao Paulo, that agreement does not extend to those who live in the UK.
It seemed that the football authorities imagined that football would get a pass here. Football had a pass for the Copa America in the summer, at a moment when the pandemic was much more severe than it is now.
The fact is that the letter of the law was upheld. It may be seen as overzealous, you wonder what the extra health risk was in the players playing this game - they could have played and gone off to the airport at surely no extra health risk.
But football has to operate within limits set by society and by governments, and maybe it's good for football to be reminded of that from time to time.
Brazil-Argentina game abandoned
More reaction now to Brazil's World Cup qualifier with Argentina being abandoned after just five minutes as Brazilian health officials came on to the field to stop the game.
The UK is on Brazil's red travel list so under Brazilian rules, visitors who have been in the UK in the 14 days before entering the country must quarantine for 14 days on arrival.
Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez started the game, along with Tottenham pair Giovani lo Celso and Cristian Romero, while Villa's Emiliano Buendia was also at the game in Sao Paulo.
'Israel win over Austria has changed group dynamic'
Austria v Scotland (Tue, 19:45 BST)
Scotland
While Scotland beat Moldova on Saturday, Israel upset Austria 5-2 to go second in Group F.
With each team having played five games, Denmark are five points clear of Israel while Scotland are third, two points behind Israel and a point ahead of Austria.
"We want to play well and if we do that we feel we're capable of getting a
win," said Scotland boss Steve Clarke.
"The Israel-Austria game has changed the dynamic of the group. Austria will
feel they need to win."
McGinn's a good addition - Clarke
Austria v Scotland (Tue, 19:45 BST)
Scotland
Scotland manager Steve Clarke confirmed that Kenny McLean and Nathan Patterson picked up injuries in Saturday's 1-0 win against Moldova while Ryan Fraser was injured in training.
Clarke said: "I had seven or eight doubts after the game on Saturday so losing three is not
the worst outcome.
"It's very difficult to call players in because of all the Covid stipulations
so we're grateful to Paul for making himself available. He's a good addition."

Meet Ewan Urain - Scotland's latest U21 player
Scotland's Under-21s play their opening European Championship qualifier in Turkey on Tuesday, with Ewan Urain looking to make his first competitive appearance for Scotland.
The Athletic Bilbao striker, who scored four goals in 18 games for the Basque side's B team last season, was born in Spain but has a Scottish mother. The 21-year-old sure has an interesting accent.
