Lightning disrupts England's electric display over USA
England secured a comprehensive 40-5 victory over the United States in Washington DC, concluding their summer tour unbeaten. The match at Audi Field experienced two lengthy delays due to lightning, causing an hour-long initial delay and a 40-minute mid-game stoppage. England scored six tries through Curtis Langdon, Luke Northmore, Cadan Murley, Jack van Poortvliet, Harry Randall, and Gabriel Oghre. George Ford contributed four conversions, with debutant Charlie Atkinson adding one, in a dominant display. The United States scored a consolation try in the final seconds through Shilo Klein, but have never beaten England in eight attempts.

Conor Coady to Rangers transfer hits further roadblock as another 'collapsed' deal puts Frank Lampard on notice
The veteran defender is on the Ibrox side's radar and impressed his new boss as captain in a pre-season win New Leicester boss Marti Cifuentes says he "liked what he saw" from Conor Coady in their 1-0 win over Zalaegerzegi on Saturday – a potential hint a move to Rangers could be delayed even further. The defender has been a target at Ibrox all summer and we understand both Rangers and Coady are keen to make it happen in time for Thursday's clash with Panathinaikos. Russell Martin has already named his squad for that Champions League qualifying first leg but there is wiggle room to register two new players 24 hours ahead of it if any new signings are in the door by then. But it looks as if new Foxes boss Cifuentes may be taking his time to have a look at Coady. And that's not exactly what Martin will want to hear. Cifuentes said after the friendly: 'There are a lot of positive things we can bring with us. There are a lot of things to improve, which is normal at this stage. 'I like the intention, the attitude, and the application of the team. I like that we wanted to be from day one, a team that is dominant and wants to use possession to attack. The timing of the movement and the rotations, everything will come. 'I like, as well, to see the young boys. I'm very happy with what I see from Jeremy, from Louis, from Evans, from all the young guys. 'And, as well, the application of the experienced players. I liked what I saw from Conor, from Jannik. It's an interesting mix.' Elsewhere the Jamie Vardy ship may have come and gone but he is taking his time over his next move – and a report hints that could open the door to Rangers should they decide to revisit their interest. The Premier League legend is a free agent this summer and the Ibrox side certainly haven't shut down chatter they could be in for the 38-year-old on a short-term deal. Even despite Leicester's noted struggles last term, Vardy hit double figures in the English top flight and he might fancy one last stab at European football before he hangs up his boots. The Mail on Sunday report that he has been 'uncharacteristically slow' to decide on his future and indicate he is considering a few options over his future. Whether one of them is Ibrox is unclear but they do note Rangers are a "massive global name" – the likes of which Vardy has never notched on his CV so far. And it's added that prestige could well lead to Vardy choosing them over the likes of Championship new boys Wrexham, who are chasing an unprecedented fourth straight promotion. Elsewhere Carl Rushworth likely won't be joining Rangers after Brighton decided against loaning the keeper to Ibrox – and Coventry could be set to take advantage. The keeper, who was Russell Martin's No.1 at Swansea, was Brighton's second choice for much of last season but is still yet to make his senior debut for the Seagulls. Reports earlier this summer indicated Rangers were keen on bringing him in to compete with Jack Butland and Liam Kelly. But more recently it's been claimed that deal is off with Rangers instead looking at Sheffield Wednesday's Pierce Charles. Frank Lampard's Coventry may be the side to pounce on Rushworth though and former Aston Villa defender Lee Hendrie told Football League World: "You look at any player or any goalkeeper really that's played or been around the top level, then I think it's a big coup for any football club to bring in someone whose Premier League bound, and particularly being linked with Rangers, which looks like it's collapsed. 'I think Frank (Lampard) will be looking at that and knowing it's a really good signing. "I think that's an area they haven't really struggled with goalkeeper-wise, but having someone of his calibre would be a really good addition to Coventry City.'

Johnny Kenny makes Celtic striker claim after scoring vs Newcastle
The forward pounced on a mistake by Nick Pope to net his second pre-season goal in four games. He faces stiff competition for the number-nine spot from Callum Osmand, Adam Idah, and new signing Shin Yamada. Daizen Maeda, another potential choice, can also play centrally. Read more: Kenny said [RecordSport]: "I want to go out every day in front of the manager and make a claim for the position. "Obviously, there's going to be a lot of rotation, but I want to be in there chipping in with goals for this amazing club." He values the competition, saying it's a challenge every day at big clubs. Kenny added: "The more competition, the better. "Every day is a challenge at big clubs. "Adam [Idah] is my fellow countryman and us Irish look after each other and he's been brilliant with me since I came back in through the door. "Daizen [Maeda] too. "He's a joy to play with. "You can never write him off, he's amazing. "To play with someone like that is a joy." Reflecting on the victory against Newcastle, Kenny said: "It was great to get a run out again. "To get a goal was a bonus. "It was a tough test physically and mentally but we handled it very well." He praised the manager for the opportunity to play against big opposition.
