The former England manager is heartfelt as he spends time with schoolboys in need of a male mentor. But the limitations on what he can change are deeply frustrating

Early on in his documentary, Changing the Game for Young Men, in that relaxed introductory section where the famous host is at home, fondling mementoes and chatting about their life, Gareth Southgate reveals he was unsure what to do next when he stopped being England football manager. Many of his admirers wish he would enter politics: they dream of him being a witty, kind presence in Westminster, a compassionate antidote to liars and clowns.

Southgate has so far demurred, and here we glimpse what he may do instead. Changing the Game, an assessment of how Britain is failing a generation of demotivated young males, is politics with a politely lower-case “p”. Every problem it identifies is the result of a big political choice, which Southgate ignores before offering a small-scale solution. It’s certainly well-meant, but its limitations are frustrating.

• Bellingham wore armband in second half v New Zealand

• Tuchel unsure if Arsenal quartet play against Costa Rica

Declan Rice has been named England’s vice-captain by Thomas Tuchel, who has played down the significance of Jude Bellingham wearing the armband during the second half of the 1-0 victory against New Zealand.

Although Bellingham captained the side after coming off the bench in Saturday’s World Cup warm-up in Tampa, Tuchel said that was simply because the midfielder was the player on the pitch with the most ­international appearances.

Social housing landlords to be able to evict perpetrators, while right-to-buy tenancy requirements to rise

Social housing landlords will be able to evict domestic abuse perpetrators under a new bill, which will also increase the tenancy required before residents qualify for the right-to-buy scheme from three to 10 years in England.

The government said the bill, which will be debated in the House of Lords on Monday, would fix “the long-term decline in social housing” and offer new protections for social tenants who were subjected to domestic abuse.

Veterans such as Messi and Modric are much in evidence at the finals, but an obsession with celebrity may undermine Portugal

It turns out that 2022 wasn’t Lionel Messi’s last dance after all. He will turn 39 during the World Cup, but despite concerns over the “muscular overload” that led to him limping out of Inter Miami’s 6-4 win over Philadelphia Union on Sunday, he remains the figure on whom Argentinian hopes rely.

Messi won’t be the only veteran in Canada, the US and Mexico: Cristiano Ronaldo, aged 41, will also be there – inevitably, given how his career and Messi’s seem inextricably bound. So will Luka Modric and Edin Dzeko, plus the goalkeepers Manuel Neuer, Craig Gordon, Guillermo Ochoa and Vozinha, all of whom are 40. And there is one 39-year-old other than Messi: the Japan defender Yuto Nagatomo.
