England news

One of the biggest stories dominating the UK news today reports that Thames Valley Police shot dead a man carrying a knife at the busy Milton Keynes train station yesterday. Earlier reports had indicated the man was carrying a firearm, but it was later confirmed to be a knife. Police confirmed the man was white and was challenged by officers before being shot dead.

Opinions on the England National Football team are being shared far and wide after their first two World Cup qualifier matches ended in two wins, two clean sheets and some debut performances. 

England sit at the top of their group after a 2-0 win over Albania and a 3-0 win over Latvia. Despite the positive results, there are still rumblings about the role of Phil Foden and Marcus Rashford in the team and questions about how to make English football more interesting.
