Kyle Walker is confident England have developed a plan B since their Euro 2016 disaster that should serve them well in World Cup qualification.

England struggled under Roy Hodgson during the championships in France with one win in their three group games, and their time in the knockout stages was short-lived.

Despite being huge favourites to beat Iceland, the Three Lions slipped to an embarrassing 2-1 defeat in Nice.

Ahead of their second Group F qualifier with Malta, Walker believes things have changed within the England camp and they now have more options to help break teams down.

I thought probably in the summer we didn t have a different plan, he told a media conference.

It was, We are going to play this way and if it didn t work we didn t …

The 2014 FIFA World Cup featured plenty of goals. Here is a pick of the best.

Tim Cahill (AUSTRALIA v Netherlands)
More renowned for what he does with his head, Cahill produced a stunning equaliser in Australia s 3-2 loss to the Dutch. With his side having just gone behind, Cahill lashed a Ryan McGowan pass – which came over his right shoulder – in off the crossbar with a thunderous left-footed volley.

Robin van Persie (NETHERLANDS v Spain)
The Manchester United striker p…
