Lee Carsley snubbed for Saipan film role but hopes to write Hollywood movie script with Euros sequel with England U21s
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LEE CARSLEY knew nothing about a potential role in new movie Saipan — but he is desperate to write his own Hollywood script in Slovakia. The England Under-21s boss was part of the Republic of Ireland's 2002 World Cup squad that witnessed the huge row between boss Mick McCarthy and captain Roy Keane.

A trailer for the movie, starring Steve Coogan as McCarthy, has set tongues wagging. Unfortunately for Carsley, despite Oliver Coopersmith being cast to play McAteer, producers felt there was no place for the Young Lions chief. But the 51-year-old is more concerned about leading England to a second-straight Euro crown, with a semi-final against the Netherlands tonight. Carsley said: 'Holland are a team that we've been watching now for a while. 'They're very attacking, very expansive in the way they play. 'Technically very good. I really like the system that they play as well. 'We've spoken about making sure the Spain game can't be the highlight of our tournament. BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS 'So the players are really determined. 'We've had a good couple of days training. We're looking forward to the game now.' England u21s clash with Germany SUSPENDED as stadium plunged into semi-darkness and players taken off pitch After Carsley's side slapped Spain 3-1 in the quarter-finals on Saturday, he is now hoping they produce another masterclass to sink the Dutch. He said: 'Ideally and I've spoken to the players about it, you want to coach a team where you watching them play and you're enjoying watching them. That Spain game and the second half of the Germany game, you are on the side, enjoying watching the players play and expressing themselves. 'You want foreign journalists to speak about our players the way we sometimes speak about their players, in terms of their technical ability or the way they can take the ball. 'We're definitely changing that perception of English players.' Holland coach Michael Reiziger has been impressed by the Young Lions. His side beat Portugal 1-0 last time out despite Ruben van Bommel's 21st- minute red card. 4 Michael Reiziger has been impressed by England's style of play Credit: Getty Reiziger said: 'They're not playing in a typical English style. 'They are playing really well with a lot of good quality and they are growing into the tournament. 'It will be a tough game but that is logical. 'We've watched every match of England. 'Two strong teams that love to play football, two teams that have quality. 'It is going to be an interesting game. We have some comparison with England. 'We started not that well but are getting better every time, resulting in the fact we won a game with ten men.' After over two decades of misery in penalty shootouts, Sir Gareth Southgate helped instil a no fear factor into England players, with the seniors winning three of their last four. And Carsley insists his lads are ready for penalties if it comes down to it tonight. He said: 'There's more of an awareness of penalties and the technique and structure that goes behind a shoot-out. 'We are fortunate to have a lot of players who take penalties for their clubs. 'It is very difficult to replicate the walk from the halfway line to the penalty spot, especially if you are not used to it. 'It's something Gareth pushed which filtered down the pathway. 'It is so important because of the amount of resources thrown at the senior team to be the best at shootouts. 'That awareness of how important they are has definitely trickled down and we have benefited from that.'

Orlando Bloom will ‘make debut as single man' at Jeff Bezos' wedding amid rumours of split from Katy Perry
Tensions in their relationship reached boiling point after Katy's space flight on board Jeff's Blue Origin BRIDE & BLOOM Orlando Bloom will 'make debut as single man' at Jeff Bezos' wedding amid rumours of split from Katy Perry Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ACTOR Orlando Bloom will 'make his debut as a single man' at Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' wedding amid rumours of a split from Katy Perry, sources claimed last night. Brit star Bloom, 48, is expected to attend Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's big day without US singer Perry, 40, who is on tour in Australia. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 2 There are rumours of a split between Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom Credit: Getty But The Sun's website reported this week the pair, who have a daughter, four, have held crisis talks to try to save their nine-year relationship after leading increasingly separate lives. Billionaire Bezos, 61, is due to marry telly host Sanchez, 55, during a three-day celebration in Venice this week. American news website TMZ said Pirates Of The Caribbean star Bloom would be 'the life of the party' and that he would be hitting 'the dancefloor hard' when he arrives in Italy for the nuptials. An insider said: 'No one has decided it's definitely the end of the road for Katy and Orlando.' 'They both love each other, but they have been living different lives for at least a year and in different mindsets.' It's understood Orlando and Katy are planning on reuniting on July 4 when there is a break in her touring schedule. The insider added: 'They have barely been together for a decent amount of time, without distractions, for many, many months.' Tensions within their relationship also reached boiling point after Katy's flight to space on board Jeff's Blue Origin.

They said: 'From day one, Orlando didn't think going on the Blue Origin mission was a good idea, and knew she would face a backlash.'

How nepo baby offspring of Britpop stars are leading re-birth of Cool Britannia – but one key part won't be coming back
Find out how Britpop Nepo babies are fronting a bold new era of Britpop – but with a twist COOL BRITANNIA RULES AGAIN How nepo baby offspring of Britpop stars are leading re-birth of Cool Britannia – but one key part won't be coming back Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) COOL Britannia is back – and that's official. High society bible Tatler is among those making the declaration on its new edition, which features the offspring of Nineties music legends Liam Gallagher and Richard Ashcroft. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 10 Love Island host Maya Jama recreates Liz Hurley's iconic 1994 dress Credit: Getty 10 Liz in the famous Versace safety pin dress that she wore to the Four Weddings And A Funeral premiere in 1994 Credit: Getty Heralding the rebirth of the Britpop-era movement, the magazine pictures Molly Moorish-Gallagher and musician Sonny Ashcroft proudly standing in front of a giant Union Jack. Anyone over the age of 40 is likely to spot the obvious homage being paid to a similar front cover published by Vanity Fair in 1997. That iconic picture saw Oasis singer Liam sharing a bed with his then girlfriend, actress Patsy Kensit. The couple married a few months later when Oasis were arguably the biggest music stars of the decade. And it is no coincidence the new magazine cover comes just days before the Oasis reunion tour, which will have Richard Ashcroft as the support act. But Tatler did not go for another 'power couple', like Liam and Patsy were, and instead took the nepo baby route. But as the new faces of Cool Britannia take centre stage, it's less champagne supernova, more alcohol-free explosion. Tatler However, editors still think the duo are living proof of a second coming. The mag claims: 'Ahead of the Oasis reunion, Liam's daughter Molly Moorish-Gallagher and The Verve scion Sonny Ashcroft are leading the Britpop revival. 'They're the next generation of Britpop: Molly Moorish-Gallagher and Sonny Ashcroft are gracing the cover of Tatler as their fathers, Liam Gallagher and Richard Ashcroft, prepare for an earth-shattering Oasis reunion. 'But as the new faces of Cool Britannia take centre stage, it's less champagne supernova, more alcohol-free explosion.' 10 Dua Lipa's style for her Wembley gig last week seems to have been inspired by model Christy Turlington's catwalk turn in the Nineties Credit: Getty 10 Christy wearing the original look in the Nineties Credit: Getty 10 Patsy Kensit and then-boyfriend Liam Gallagher on Vanity Fair in 1997 Credit: EPA 10 Heralding the rebirth of the Britpop-era movement, Tatler pictures Molly Moorish-Gallagher and musician Sonny Ashcroft proudly standing in front of a giant Union Jack Credit: Oli Kearon Noel and Liam Gallagher seen together for first time since announcing Oasis reunion The piece continues: 'She is the daughter of Lisa Moorish and Liam Gallagher; he is the eldest son of Richard Ashcroft and Kate Radley. 'Together, they are the new faces of the (Br)it crowd. 'But what do the pair make of Cool Britannia 2.0?' It turns out that neither of the nepo babies shares their parents' hellraising ways, and the revival will not be based around downing pints of lager or being 'chained to the mirror and the razor blade', as Oasis once sang. Sonny proudly tells the magazine he's not one for a night out. He said: 'I'm very much a night-in person. Seeing friends, some good food and drinks and playing games of some kind. Molly Moorish-Gallagher, Liam's daugher "A nice meal with friends and then gathering over some sort of board game or film at home.' While Molly says her idea of a wild night is: 'Seeing friends, some good food and drinks and playing games of some kind.' But if the Cool Britannia nepo kids aren't keeping the Nineties hedonistic vibe going, it seems Gen Z-ers are keeping the momentum going through fashion. Love Island host Maya Jama recently recreated Liz Hurley's famous Versace safety pin dress that she wore to the Four Weddings And A Funeral premiere in 1994. Singers Dua Lipa and Lola Young have been inspired by other huge names of the Nineties in their fashion choices. And Liam's son Lennon was pretty much an identikit copy of his dad when he attended a Burberry pub takeover last week. A new study has also revealed that youngsters are now huge fans of some of the decade's greatest hairstyles, including The Rachel from Friends, the floppy hair of actor Johnny Depp and Victoria Beckham's Posh bob. 10 It's all about the flag for singer Lola Young - seemingly a nod to Geri Horner's Ginger Spice Credit: Instagram/lolayounggg 10 Geri rocking the iconic Girl Power outfit Credit: Alamy 10 Lennon Gallagher in Burberry jacket last week...

Ashley Birch-Ruffell, from Funkin Cocktails, said: 'Nineties fashion is very on trend, and it's fun to see what our official favourite styles are. 'There are clearly many iconic hairstyles and memorable moments from this decade that live on in the public consciousness. 'It seems clear that Nineties trends aren't going anywhere anytime soon — and why would we want them to?' 'It's clear that the whole culture of the Nineties is still considered unapologetically iconic.' Gen Z can't match our hellraising era IT was a sensational whirl of bucket hats, Union Jacks, lads' mags, boozy bands and more than a whiff of the old marching powder, writes Rod McPhee. The late Nineties were a hellraising golden age not seen since the Swinging Sixties. But despite being due another period of partying, I'm sorry to say we'll never quite be able to match the magic of the original Cool Britannia. Trust me, I was there, I did it. I got the T-shirt – and the dodgy Liam Gallagher shaggy haircut What's more, I loved it all. From music to fashion, and movies to models, the run-up to the year 2000 was the perfect blend of sex and, yes, drugs, plus lashings of rock 'n' roll. Of course, it's great to get a taste of the good old days when Oasis stage their comeback tour next week, plus there's the prospect of the Spice Girls doing a similar celebratory event next year. But nothing can once again live up to a period in modern pop culture history which I believe was genuinely unique. Maybe I'm looking back at the past through rose-tinted glasses. But no pop groups, artists, catwalk stars or actors these days come close to the tearaway Primrose Hill crowd that kept us entertained and shocked three decades ago. That said, no one would love reliving some of the brilliance of the Nineties more than me. So let's make the most of summer 2025.
