England will go in search of a first Women’s World Cup crown when they take on Spain in the final in Sydney. Sarina Wiegman’s side progressed to a second major tournament decider in as many years with a 3-1 semi-final victory over tournament co-hosts Australia. Spain, meanwhile, set up a meeting with the Lionesses after edging out Sweden in Auckland. The final will be held at Stadium Australia and a first-time World Cup winner is guaranteed, with neither side having reached this stage of the tournament previously. While the fixture will obviously be held on a neutral ground, Spain are Team A for the final and thus have kit precedence. That means that Jorge Vilda’s team will play in their red home strip, with dark blue shorts and socks. While England might be expected to then wear their traditional white shirts, the Lionesses’ home kit now includes blue shorts after lobbying from players over concerns about wearing white during their periods. The matching shorts necessitates a change: England will wear their light blue away kit for the final, with white socks. While Wiegman’s side were dressed all in white for last summer’s Euros final at Wembley, having to wear a changed kit may be a good omen. England’s men, captained by Bobby Moore, were clad in their alternative red in 1966 as they beat West Germany (wearing white shirts) 4-2 in the final at Wembley. The Lionesses’ progress to the final means that manager Wiegman has now reached four consecutive major tournament finals. The Dutchwoman guided her native Netherlands to Euro 2017 triumph and the World Cup final two years later before taking charge of England in 2021.

It was one of the biggest stories in recent years, and there was even a TV drama and a play about it all - but now Coleen Rooney has broken her silence on the Wagatha Christie case for the first time. In a tell-all interview with Vogue Magazine, the 37-year-old WAG - who is married to former Manchester United and England player Wayne Rooney - revealed what went through her mind before sharing the infamous tweet in 2019 and the following court battle. The tweet detailed the detective work she had undertaken to figure out who was leaking stories about her to The Sun newspaper. She did this by posting three fake stories and narrowed it down which of her followers could view them to see whether they would still get leaked. To conclude, Rooney then alleged where the source came from, with the iconic line "It's ……….Rebekah Vardy’s account." Rooney's sleuthing led the internet to compare her to crime novelist Agatha Christie, which led to the term "Wagatha Christie" being coined. Rebekah Vardy - who is married to Leicester City footballer Jamie Vardy - then brought a libel case against Rooney but after a week-long trial at London's High Court in May last year, the verdict was announced in July that Vardy had lost the case. As a result, Vardy was ordered to pay up to £1.5m to Rooney in legal fees. Here are the 10 best Coleen quotes from the interview: “What I said in that post, I still stick by today.” - on what she wrote in the infamous post that kicked off the Wagatha Christie saga. “We would associate because our husbands had played for England together. But she doesn’t live round here. She wasn’t a friend. I’ve never socialised with her.” - on her relationship with Rebekah Vardy before the revelation and court case. "I’ve never been in a legal case before so for me it was scary." “The thing I was dreading the most was actually going to court.” - on going to court over her Twitter post. “It was so difficult in that courtroom," Coleen said and added: “especially watching her on the stand. It was quite painful. I felt uneasy.” - on being in court and watching Rebekah Vardy testify. “I’d rather spend money on a holiday wardrobe than a court wardrobe." - on her court fashion. “They were just another level. When I was reading them I was thinking: the evilness and the hatred that they had for someone that they don’t even know.” - on Vardy's texts about mentioning Rooney's late sister Rosie for Rooney to find endearing. “'When PE teachers have to teach a bit of geography.' We were laughing about that one." - on the internet meme that came from Wayne carrying Coleen's black Fendi tote filled with folders into court. "I swore,” she says with a laugh. “I think all I did was swear for the whole quarter- of-an-hour phone call.” - on her reaction to finding out she won the court case. “I’m a forgive and forget person, I can’t be bothered with things going on and on."However, she added: "But this is obviously totally different." - on whether she forgives Rebekah Vardy. “I can’t live in the past. It’s happened now and I move on.” - on whether she has any regrets about tweeting out about her detective work. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

Cole Palmer scored a crucial equaliser that helped Manchester City win the UEFA Super Cup against Sevilla. However, manager Pep Guardiola admitted that his future is still undecided, with the youngster wanting more playing time this season.

Bayern Munich head coach Thomas Tuchel has no doubt Harry Kane will handle the scrutiny in Germany and believes he is already “inspiring” his team-mates ahead of Friday’s Bundesliga opener at Werder Bremen. Kane’s debut off the bench last Saturday failed to go to plan and his wait for a first trophy goes on after RB Leipzig inflicted a 3-0 defeat on Bayern in the DFL-Supercup. Tuchel, who was critical of his squad after the match, confirmed Kane, who signed last weekend from Tottenham for an initial £100million, would start Friday’s fixture. He told a press conference: “I don’t think it is going to be the first time in his career (he has been under pressure), so that is why he will learn to transfer the pressure into performance and stay relaxed. “It is not about life or death. It is a game, a competitive game and he has proved for about 10 years how he does it, so I am not worried about Harry. “The Harry Kane effect will not be gone (if we lose). It is the way he works in training, in the locker room, his professionalism, the way he goes about things and how humble he is in training, how keen he is in training. “The way he acts after such a game, after a loss, he is the first on the training pitch, he works with the reserve players, he is the one walking ahead who is inspiring others. That is what makes that transfer fee (worthwhile), not only his goal-scoring record but all the other things as well. “That is what really makes him a big star and all the other personalities in sport as well, so that is the Harry Kane effect and why he raises our chances of winning tomorrow massively. “Obviously we won’t win every game just because he is there and, even when the Harry Kane effect is there in full effect, it still doesn’t mean we’ll win every game, but that is why I was fighting for him to come here. As far as all the things I have seen, I really feel that it was worth it.” Tuchel faced repeated questions on Thursday about the public dressing down of his players in the wake of their defeat to Leipzig. He called on the squad to learn from Kane and his attitude after a tumultuous five months since his March appointment, with Tuchel losing more games than predecessor Julian Nagelsmann last season. “I understand this criticism was received as tough criticism, but I was honest. I was talking about the way I feel and my disappointment was really big,” Tuchel said. “After losing 3-0 it doesn’t matter what I say ,because it would go in all directions anyway. I don’t know what to say in order to please everybody and I don’t know whether I want that. “I try to be authentic and that is what I was. Maybe it wasn’t the most diplomatic way to go about things, but if I tried to be diplomatic people would have asked, ‘Was he at the right game?’ “I take it personally losing. I wish we all go about things this way and be more resilient.” The way he acts after such a game, after a loss, he is the first on the training pitch, he works with the reserve players, he is the one walking ahead who is inspiring others Thomas Tuchel on Harry Kane Tuchel will soon be boosted by the return of goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who recently had a second operation after suffering a broken leg while skiing last December. Thomas Muller and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting will be part of Friday’s squad, but Bouna Sarr, Noussair Mazraoui and Serge Gnabry will need to be checked on. Tuchel added: “The small operation performed on Manuel worked and the prognosis is he will be back in (team) training in a shorter period of time than we thought so it is generally positive. “The past couple of days I saw him in training and I am not a rehab expert, but what I saw was really impressive and looked really good. “I think he will be back in team training in the next couple of weeks.”
