The latest @fourfourtwo.com includes my cover feature on new England gaffer Thomas Tuchel. It never quite came home under Gareth Southgate, so now it’s down to a German to end the Three Lions’ trophy drought...

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🎯 Is Harry Kane the best penalty taker in the world?

I crunched the Bayern Munich striker's incredible numbers for bundesliga.com, ahead of this weekend's showdown with Bayer Leverkusen.

Spot-kick king Harry Kane may be the world’s best penalty taker and the Bayern Munich man has the stats to prove it
Superstar striker Harry Kane has taken 20 penalties since joining Bayern Munich in the summer of 2023, including two against Werder Bremen on Matchday 21. He’s scored every single one of them.

🇦🇫 3+ years have passed since the Taliban's resurgence in Afghanistan.

It forced the country’s women’s team to flee to Australia, where they were taken in by Melbourne Victory. I spoke to Khalida Popal and others about their remarkable story…

By no means the full picture (wages must be considered too) but when it comes to points won based on money spent on transfer fees, few Premier League clubs are performing as well as Nottingham Forest and Fulham this season:

Hang on, why is Jools Holland's Hootenanny line-up just the Portsmouth starting XI from the 2008 FA Cup final?

Wow. Union Berlin have sacked Bo Svensson. Seems very hasty. His teams weren’t exactly playing Total Football, but they did pick up points at the start of the season. I didn’t think their run of bad form before Christmas really constituted a sacking.

Mohamed Salah has now played exactly as many games for Liverpool as Thierry Henry did across his legendary eight-year stint at Arsenal.

And the numbers are remarkably similar. Up there with the all-time greats 🇪🇬👑

I find Amazon’s coverage of the PL really solid.

Aside from every game being available, the option to watch without comms + short/extended highlights is great.

It’s an example of what could be done by a solo streaming service which places every game under one roof; the technology is there.

1. FC Union Berlin chief scout Oliver Ruhnert will leave the club in Jan to run for parliament for the new left-wing populist "Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance" (BSW)

Known for its opposition to military support for Ukraine, the BSW polled 12-16% in recent local elections in eastern Germany
