July 9 Social Zone: Peter Beardsley raps and England mastery highlighted
In Social Zone today: the England appreciation from their semi-final win keeps on coming, while John Barnes' World in Motion rap gets a couple of... shall we say... 'interesting' covers.

Soccer: If you thought everyone in the British Isles and Ireland were behind England, though, you'd be wrong. Although Harry Kane spoiled these guys' night.

Soccer: Some very kind soul has speeded up England's game-killing masterclass in the semi-final and it is truly a thing of beauty.

Soccer: Imagine sitting behind David Baddiel and Frank Skinner as Three Lions is played at Wembley ahead of a European Championships semi-final involving England. As if this fan couldn't already be forgiven for thinking his was dreaming...

Soccer: In our own heads, we all sound like John Barnes when we do the World in Motion rap. In everyone else's, we sound like Peter Beardsley doing it and it is important that we accept it.

Soccer: It could be worse though... we could sound like British politician Jacob Rees-Mogg doing it. The horror...

Tennis: Nick Kyrgios has been candid enough to admit he really can't be bothered to play the Olympics without any fans there. Got to admire the honesty. You wonder how many more will now follow suit.
