Shaw: I feel wanted with England

Luke Shaw says that feeling ‘wanted’ is a factor in his England form after a difficult season with Manchester United.

The 26-year-old full-back fired in the equalising goal for England in their come-from-behind 2-1 win over Switzerland at Wembley.

It was his second goal in five games for Gareth Southgate’s side – as many as he has managed in 207 Premier League appearances – and he credited his international manager.

“The environment here that Gareth creates, you always enjoy it,” Shaw told Sky Sports.

“I think when I come here it is about enjoyment and playing games with a smile on my face. Here, when I come here, I always do that.

“We all love playing for our country and when we are here we all just focus on what is happening here. Obviously, my main focus is England at this time.”

Asked by Sky Sports reporter Pat Davison if he was a player who needed to feel happy to produce his best performances, after a perceived dip in form at club level, Shaw expanded on this idea.

“I think everyone does, really,” he added.

“It is always important to feel like you are wanted. I think especially here I always feel that.

“I am not saying I don’t at United but especially here, the way things are, I feel wanted and I enjoy my football. A big part of football is the enjoyment.

“Of course, it is hard to enjoy when we are losing and not playing well at club level. We have to face that and, of course, this season it has not been good enough so it is hard to enjoy.

“We have a lot to improve at the club but I am here with England so the focus is on that.”

Redknapp: Shaw feels more comfortable with England

Sky Sports’ Jamie Redknapp:

“A lot of the time previously we have spoken about players not wanting to play for their country, feeling more comfortable back home playing for their clubs.

“I think that is a credit to the environment that Gareth has created.

“The emotional part of the game is something we often forget, especially when you are a football yourself. There is a part of you that thinks that is the price of the ticket. You are under pressure.

“Every time you play for Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City, if you are going to play for an elite club you are going to get criticised if it does not go well and you have to be able to accept it sometimes.

“He obviously feels more comfortable here. He has been in and out of the team for separate reasons, not been good enough, not played at the right level.

“There was a lot of emotion there.”

Canadians Abroad Roundup: Will Laryea be next Canadian in Premier League?

January was a transformative month for the Canadian men’s national team. Wins in Honduras and at home to the U.S. – coupled with the El Salvador road victory on Feb. 2 – all but guaranteed its qualification for the 2022 World Cup. Fans could start monitoring flights to Doha with relative comfort. An arguably superior development transpired that month, too. Nine Canadian-eligible players secured loans or permanent transfers to new clubs in the transfer window. Many of those moves were steps up in terms of the quality and size of the respective teams. For instance, Stephen Eustaquio joined Porto on loan with an option to buy from Pacos de Ferreira. Now he’s transitioned from mid-table obscurity to a league title and into the Champions League, provided reports are correct and he joins the Dragoes permanently. Ike Ugbo was loaned to Troyes in Ligue 1 from Genk, an admittedly big club in Belgium with a rich history. But moving to a top-five European league, especially to a club under t...

The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) will release official January inflation data on February 5. “Higher prices of fuel and meat, as well as increased Meralco (Manila Electric Co.) power rates and excise taxes on alcoholic beverages and tobacco, contributed to upward price pressures during the month,” Diokno said. Local oil companies hiked fuel prices three times this month. Price incr...

Signs Of Cervical Cancer All Woman Should Know

Cervical or cervix malignancy can be risky in women. Though the statistics of this disease are shocking, if diagnosed early it can be treated. Cervical malignancy is due to the highly infectious HPV or human papillomavirus.  It is sexually transmitted and exists in different forms. A HPV infection may disappear without treatment or develop to an abnormal cell development that could cause cervical cancer. 7 Signs of Cervical Cancer Continuous pain in the legs, hips or back The swelling in the cervix may compress other organs. This may make it difficult for blood flow in the veins and may prevent blood from reaching the pelvis and legs, thus pain and swelling in the legs. Abnormal discharge When the disease starts to develop in the cervix, the uterine divider cells begin to loosen hence a watery discharge. Pain or bleeding Cervical tumor may develop on the cervix’s dividers which can dry out and eventually burst, hence distress and rectal or bladder bleeding. ...
