And it's live! A deep dive documentary into England's lack of coaches at elite level for @SkySportsNews.
With only Howe & Potter in PL + Tuchel now England boss, we investigate causes & if there's a fix.

Bad night for Tickle last night. He's underperforming relative to xGOT by just over 2 goals already.
That's not helped by the performance of Vitek last season but interestingly he's in the same boat for Boro this season.
Teething problems all round, possibly.

As football gets faster, scanning becomes more important. I had a go on the virtual reality tech designed to train it. Martin Odegaard asked for 120% speed. I was happy on 80%. Why scanning matters, how it can be honed + whether VR can replicate the game. skysports.com/football/news/…
Four months ago Anthony Gordon wasn't even assured of his spot on the left of England's attack. Now he's undroppable.
Analysis on where it's all gone right for #England's flying left winger:

You can only beat what's in front of you and England rarely took their foot off the gas tonight. Excellent performance - nothing more, nothing less.
Says a lot about how brilliantly Gordon has done in the last few months with how long ago it feels that he wasn't even guaranteed a World Cup starting spot.
That little 'where's the support?' before scoring a world-class solo goal might be the best part of this

thrilled to announce we have built the “trick old people into handing over their bank passwords machine” from the classic sci-fi horror novel “don’t build the trick old people into handing over their bank passwords machine”
Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test.
48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video.
It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 48% figure and "video Turing test" claim are from Tavus's own study of 54 one-minute calls, not independently verified or using a standard protocol. Griffin-Lite leads NVIDIA's VideoFDB benchmark on their public leaderboard.

This is an insane reaction to announcing pensions will still rise by 2.5% or inflation each year.
It’s such a relief to finally know what Lamine Yamal thinks about his Ballon D’Or chances
🌕 Lamine Yamal on the Ballon d’Or speaking to The Guardian: “Honestly, I don’t think it’s just this year that I’ve been at the level to win the Ballon d’Or… but it’s been for longer time”.
“Everybody knows it, and they know I’m a player who makes a difference. I believe some people think: Lamine is 19… he’ll win Ballon d’Or someday, so let’s give it to someone else”.
“I just have to 𝐰𝐢𝐧, 𝐰𝐢𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐧, and there’ll come a moment when there won’t be any debate. There will be people who love it and others who say: 𝐡𝐞’𝐬 𝐬𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠… and that’s normal”.
This is even madder considering that includes him scoring 15 in one season and 38 in every other year combined
