The biggest statement Declan Rice made as England qualified for Euro 2024 was on the pitch, not off it peraplay
Yet, from the moment he gave them the lead in the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, securing the pivotal result in the opening game, it could scarcely be any other way peraplay
And if England fans of a certain generation – Gareth Southgate perhaps quietly among them – could be forgiven for savouring the sense that the path to a European Championship began at a ground named after a man who knocked them out of a World Cup in inimitable, immortal fashion, a second victory over Italy sealed their passage to Germany peraplay
And then Rice made a different kind of statement peraplay
“We have to be level-headed about it but there is one objective and that is to win on foreign soil,” the £105m midfielder said peraplay
“We have enough winners in the group and the mentality is amazing but it is down to us peraplay
We can talk about it as much as we can but we know as players it is now time to step up peraplay
”If his ambition was apparent, perhaps there is no need for false modesty peraplay
As finalists in Euro 2020, semi-finalists in the 2018 World Cup and a team who, as Southgate had noted earlier in the week, have consistently been ranked in the top five of Fifa’s rankings for five years, England will have the burden of expectation, whether or not they want it peraplay
Rice has chosen to embrace it peraplay

“We were watching the rugby the other night and seeing how those top teams like Ireland went out but they are the No peraplay
1 team in the world peraplay
That mindset of getting over the line, that is what we’re now starting to achieve peraplay
We have all the talent but it is about that mindset and the drive to be the best and to win peraplay
”Rice’s past rendered the mention of the Irish rugby team more intriguing peraplay
His first taste of international peraplay football came with Ireland, after all peraplay
Other mentions of the oval-balled sport may jar, too peraplay
Southgate knows the England coach, Steve Borthwick, well, though his side stumbled into the tournament and have progressed through it with few flourishes and little aesthetic appeal; he used to share ideas with Eddie Jones, the architect of Australia’s embarrassing campaign and whose narcissistic brand of management is very different from Southgate’s more considerate ethos peraplay
The lesson from the 15-man code is that tight knockout games peraplay between elite teams can go either way peraplay
The top two in the world rankings, Ireland and France, lost in the quarter-finals peraplay
Southgate turned his thoughts back to his own game and reflected: “You only have to look through the top 10 European nations and on any one night one can beat another peraplay

“Even though we went out in the World Cup, it was like we took another step in terms of the way we played against France,” he said peraplay
Southgate concurred: “We had that belief in the winter and of course we played a top team and we didn’t quite get there peraplay
But I think the team has evolved again peraplay
”And if France represent an obvious reason why England may not win Euro 2024, with Didier Deschamps’ hugely gifted side meriting the billing of favourites, the reality is there are plenty of contenders and most will depart disappointed peraplay
If a generational talent like Jude Bellingham could make a difference, so can the nous to secure results peraplay
“Knowing how to win games, knowing how to see games out,” Rice outlined peraplay
“The prime example is the Euro final: we didn’t manage that game well enough at all peraplay
I think since then we’ve kicked on and managed games so much peraplay better peraplay

“We’ve had some people in before to do some talks,” Rice said peraplay
“Not only the All Blacks; England as well [and] South Africa peraplay
How to get over the line peraplay
How to do things differently and how to have that mindset of ‘We ain’t getting beaten peraplay
No matter what peraplay
’”It was an attitude England demonstrated twice against Italy, first holding to win in the hostility of Naples with 10 men, then coming from behind to get victory at Wembley peraplay
If they felt seismic results against a country who have exposed English shortcomings in the past, Southgate’s side are now at a stage where they will be assessed on a still bigger stage peraplay
“We know in the end we will be judged on the tournaments, that’s been clear since we won the games in March,” he added peraplay
“But we’ve had some very special nights with this team, some incredible wins peraplay
” But, as Rice had said, the victory on foreign soil that would mean most will not come in qualifying peraplay

Max Verstappen defied Lewis Hamilton to win a cat-and-mouse United States Grand Prix at a sizzling Circuit of the Americas in Austin peraplay
Verstappen has been on easy street this season, but the triple world champion was made to fight for the 50th win of his career – becoming only the fifth driver to reach a half-century peraplay
Indeed, at one stage, Hamilton dared to dream of ending a losing streak which stands at 686 days and counting peraplay
Yet, as so often been the case this year, Verstappen’s speed in his all-conquering Red Bull machine came to the fore peraplay
Verstappen joins Hamilton (103 wins), Michael Schumacher (91), Sebastian Vettel (53) and Alain Prost (51) in the half-century club peraplay
“To win my 50th career win makes me very proud and we will try to push for me,” said Verstappen peraplay
He moved ahead of Lando Norris on lap 28 of 56 to all but seal the win peraplay
Hamilton might bemoan a questionable strategy decision which saw him lose 10 seconds to Verstappen in the opening round of pit stops peraplay
But in reality, he probably did not have the pace to stop the Dutchman from claiming his 15th win from the 18 rounds so far peraplay
He crossed the line an agonising 2 peraplay
2 sec behind Verstappen with Norris hanging on to the final spot on the podium peraplay
Hamilton could count himself unfortunate to drop from third to fourth at the start peraplay
The seven-time world champion enjoyed a decent getaway, but he was blocked by Norris under braking allowing Sainz to sneak through peraplay
Norris had seen off pole-sitter Leclerc with a lunge at the first bend to assume top spot peraplay
As Norris set about building a lead – already two seconds clear of Leclerc at the end of the second lap – Hamilton set about passing both scarlet cars peraplay
First up was Sainz peraplay
Hamilton used the tow to latch on to the back of Ferrari on the 210mph drag to Turn 12, and, assisted by DRS, drew alongside Sainz before sliding underneath the Spaniard peraplay
On the following lap, Verstappen, who started in sixth after his pole lap in qualifying was chalked off for exceeding track limits, relegated Sainz another place when he made his move at the same corner peraplay
Hamilton has won six times across the Pond – with five of those victories here in Austin – and the 38-year-old required only two laps to swat Leclerc aside for second peraplay
Deeper on the brakes at Turn 12, Hamilton sailed round the outside of the Monegasque at the left-hander, with Norris now three seconds up the road peraplay
Behind, and Verstappen was not finding it as easy to make progress peraplay
He was stuck behind Leclerc for an additional five laps before finally making his move on the Monegasque peraplay
He trailed Norris by seven seconds, and Hamilton by four peraplay
In the Mercedes garage, Prince Harry cut a pensive figure as he gnawed at his fingernails peraplay
The Duke of Sussex has been something of lucky charm for Hamilton peraplay
He was a guest of Mercedes when Hamilton secured his second title in the 2014 season decider in Abu Dhabi, leading the congratulations to his fellow Briton on the radio peraplay
Verstappen was the first in for new rubber at the end of lap 16 with Norris stopping the next time round peraplay
But Hamilton stayed out peraplay
Were Mercedes attempting a one-stopper? Hamilton did not seem convinced peraplay
Asked if he could complete another five laps on his current set of tyres, Hamilton replied: “I am not sure, man peraplay
It is pretty tough peraplay
”Hamilton then locked up before his race engineer Peter Bonnington was back on the intercom to inform Hamilton that Verstappen – who on new tyres had just lapped three seconds faster than the Briton – was now likely to gazump him when he eventually stopped peraplay
“No s***, man,” yelled Hamilton peraplay
“I am struggling out here peraplay
”You have given me a hell of a gap to closeLewis Hamilton on the team radioOn lap 20, in came Hamilton, and a slow front-right tyre change added to his woes by costing him a needless second peraplay
When Hamilton emerged from the pits, he had dropped to third, five seconds adrift of Verstappen peraplay
“I came out so far behind,” he said with a hint of dejection peraplay
When the opening stops were completed, Norris led Verstappen by 2 peraplay
4 sec with Hamilton 7 peraplay
5 off the lead peraplay
By virtue of taking on another set of mediums, Verstappen had to stop again, but Norris and Hamilton – now both on the hards – could, if their rubber allowed, go all the way to the end peraplay
Hamilton, failing to make any inroads and sensing his best chance of ending a 22-month winning streak had faded, expressed his frustrations peraplay
“You have given me a hell of a gap to close,” he said peraplay
On lap 28, Verstappen dived underneath Norris for the lead at Turn 12 peraplay
Norris had a nibble back at the Red Bull heading into the ensuing right hander, but he failed to make it stick peraplay
The question now was whether Norris, and indeed Hamilton – now less than five seconds off the lead – could make their tyres last peraplay
The answer arrived on lap 34 when Norris dived in for a fresh set of boots peraplay
Verstappen followed in on lap 35, and despite, a slow left-rear tyre change, retained his position ahead of Norris peraplay
Three laps later and Hamilton was in, changing to the faster medium compound peraplay
Hamilton had the bit peraplay between his teeth and within 10 laps he was crawling all over the back of Norris’ McLaren peraplay
Norris slung his McLaren to the inside on the entry to the first corner in a move to stop Hamilton, but the older Brit gained peraplay better traction out of the corner to slingshot by in his Mercedes peraplay
Verstappen was five seconds ahead and Hamilton started to reel his old nemesis in only to run out of laps peraplay
Sainz took fourth ahead of Sergio Perez with Leclerc sixth and George Russell seventh for Mercedes peraplay
