As a prime exponent of 'pranking' other players, it was inevitable that Mr Prank It', AKA West Ham United captain Mark Noble, would be the instigator of a well organised prank carried out on youngster Declan Rice, lo and behold that is exactly what happened while the players were attending a photo shoot.

Andriy Yarmolenko scored one of the two goals that defeated Portugal, ensuring the Ukraine progress to the next round of the Euro's. His 27th minute strike means that he averages just about a goal in every two games for his country, not a bad return for a player who is not an out and out striker is it?

Declan Rice appears to have been made the 'fall guy' for England's insipid performance against the Czech Republic, he has been picked on particularly by certain sections of the media, but he wasn't entirely alone when it comes to the overall team performance. Rice is a young player learning to get better, whereas there were other senior players who just didn't step up to the plate.
