KANSAS CITY, USA: Harry Kane said England had enjoyed “great preparation” ahead of their World Cup campaign as the squad touched down in Kansas City — their base camp for the tournament. Thomas Tuchel’s men arrived in the Midwest on Saturday following a camp in Florida, where they played two friendly matches, against New Zealand and Costa Rica, winning both.

Raya relaxed despite Spain goalkeeper debate
CHATTANOOGA, USA: David Raya believes Spain “are in good hands” no matter who starts the World Cup in goal as he battles with Unai Simon and Joan Garcia to be Luis de la Fuente’s number one. Raya enjoyed an outstanding season at Arsenal, helping the Gunners to a first Premier League title in 22 years and reach the Champions League final. Garcia also shone as Barcelona won La Liga, but they are reportedly set to miss out as Simon is expected to start. The Athletic Bilbao stopper has been Spain’s number one at the past three major tournaments, including when La Roja won Euro 2024. “I think Spain is in good hands, whoever plays,” Raya told a press conference on Saturday at Spain’s training base in Chattanooga. “Since Unai debuted, he has performed at a really high level. We have won the Nations League, the Euros with him and he’s a great goalkeeper who has given us these titles.” Raya, 30, has spent the vast majority of his career in England. He moved to Blackburn as a teenager and spent a loan spell at sixth-tier Southport, before making his name in the Premier League with Brentford. In three years at Arsenal, he has won the Golden Glove award for most clean sheets in the Premier League every season. But much of the debate in his homeland has centered on whether Garcia should be selected ahead of Simon rather than Raya. “I have spent a lot of years abroad and I remember the first time I came to the national team sometimes they asked who I was,” he added on whether he has been overlooked in Spain. “I am doing my job for my club to be the best I can be and to be able to represent my country, which is the most important thing.
