Alan Shearer on England's World Cup group and why Gareth Southgate will be pleased

Alan Shearer Gareth Southgate England Newcastle United Scotland Three Lions Ukraine Wales

Alan Shearer thinks Gareth Southgate will be pleased with England's World Cup group after being drawn against Iran, USA and Scotland, Wales or Ukraine. The latter of the three are still to play their World Cup play-offs with Scotland's tie with Ukraine postponed due to the Russian invasion.

The Three Lions will open the World Cup against Iran on November 21, before playing USA on November 25 and rounding off the group against Scotland, Wales or Ukraine on November 29.

Reading alone, together is all the rage at book doofs and reading parties. What makes it social?
It’s called a doof, but it’s actually all about quiet reading. There are beanbags, some chairs and a few shared tables, where readers sit (or lie) down and read their separate books. Maybe some music playing in the background. Book Doof’s founder calls it a social experience. But can people…
