    2022 World Cup

    It's this reason - that it's the first ever winter World Cup (in the Northern Hemisphere) and comes just a few months into the Premier League season when England's players are still fresh rather than in July after a Premier League season when the players are exhausted - why England are going to...

It will be Bale who...
