World Cup 2018: England's Jordan Pickford to wear number one shirt
Last updated on .From the section World Cup

Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has been given the England number one shirt for this summer's World Cup.
The 24-year-old made only his third international appearance when he started the 2-1 friendly victory over Nigeria on Saturday.
Manager Gareth Southgate indicated afterwards that Pickford would start the opening World Cup game against Tunisia on 18 June (19:00 BST).
"There was a bit of a statement with the selection of Jordan," he said.
"His decision-making was good, although he was rarely tested."
Stoke's Jack Butland and Burnley's Nick Pope - the other goalkeepers in the squad - will wear 13 and 23 respectively.
Captain Harry Kane, who wears number 10 at Tottenham, is given the number nine, with Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling wearing 10.
- Sterling deserves number 10 shirt on merit – Sutton

Most people on here do but some eggs prefer to slag them out of jealousy.
Why people don’t want to get behind the team no matter what puzzles me.
24 June Eng Vs Pan - the pressure is getting to them. They are looking tired after a long season.
28 Jun Eng Vs Bel - disappointed to go out, but we are looking towards the future.........
wait 4 years time, then repeat.
Couldn't agree more. As a Scot I hope England go all the way, I'll be supporting them too. The only shame is that it's not a UK team with Bale, Robertson, Ramsay and Jonny Evans. I would hate to think that English people think we all agree with Sturgeon and the odious SNP.
I think this is indicative of the vast gulf in quality between the two sides...
You think Klopp tells him to bomb forward in a team with Salah, Firmino, Mane, Oxlade-Chamberlain and 2 flying wing-backs? Of course not! His job is to hold so he holds.
Give him credit for wanting to win and be the best and don't deride him for it, typical English attitude where if a player doesn't play for your club, you hate him! You'll never see this in other countries.
But seriously, joke are just that - jokes. We all want to see Harry Kane (or any of the other England players) bag a hatful of goals at the World Cup, but I’m not going to lose my sense of humour over it.
