England have launched a new away strip based on their 1966 World Cup winning shirt.
The red crew-necked jersey is almost identical to England's victorious strip from 44 years ago, moving away from the modern design of recent shirts.
With a plain, single-colour design and a notable lack of additional trim, the classic Three Lions logo is headed by a low-key embroidered red star, raised above the surface to signify England's sole World Cup triumph.
The plainness and classic nature of the design mirrors coach Fabio Capello's no-nonsense approach to the England set-up.
It is notable that its first public viewing was not on the torso of shamed former captain John Terry, and manufacturers Umbro instead opted to use Leicestershire rock band Kasabian to showcase the shirt.
Singer Tom Meighan wore a replica of the shirt at a concert in Paris, describing it as an "honour".
"I'm the first person to wear it which is crazy," he told NME magazine.
"They said they wanted to take it away from the footballers for once and do something up to date.
"They wanted to combine with rock n roll. They're two powerful things. I'm honoured to wear it."
England are set to wear the kit during the friendly against African champions Egypt at Wembley on March 3.
You don’t need me to tell you that the simple red design is intended to remind us of the 1966 shirt, which Bobby Moore while lifting the Jules Rimet trophy:
Bayern Munich manager Louis van Gaal claims he has rejected an offer to coach Nigeria at the World Cup this summer.
"I had an offer from Nigeria, but I rejected it," the Dutchman told Liga total television.
"It is not the first time I received an offer from Nigeria, but I think that Bayern is a big challenge for me."
The Dutchman was earmarked for a temporary role after Shaibu Amodu was sacked following the Super Eagles' third-placed finish at the recent African Cup of Nations.
Egypt manager Hassan Shehata, Russia boss Guus Hiddink, former Ghana coach Ratomir Dujkovic and ex-Senegal tactician Bruno Metsu have all been linked with the post.
The Super Eagles were drawn with Argentina, South Korea and Greece in Group B of the World Cup in South Africa.
Japan's football chief wants disgruntled fans to continue jeering the national side in the hope of toughening them up before this year's World Cup.
Japan's players were booed from the pitch after Saturday's 0-0 home draw with China in the East Asian championship, piling more pressure on coach Takeshi Okada.
The Blue Samurai copped similar flak from fans after their goalless draw with Venezuela in a friendly in Kyushu four days earlier.
Japan Football Association president Motoaki Inukai told Sunday's Sports Hochi: "I want the supporters to boo their hearts out. It's good for the players."
Okada has come under fire since his bold declaration that Japan's target at this year's World Cup in South Africa was the semi-finals.
Inukai added some perspective.
"We have problems - 180 minutes without a goal," he said. "If we play like that at the World Cup we don't stand a chance."
Japan have never won a World Cup finals game on foreign soil and face Netherlands, Cameroon and Denmark in the group stages in South Africa in June.
Only a late penalty save from goalkeeper Seigo Narazaki spared Japan further embarrassment in Tokyo where swathes of empty seats told their own story.
"If we win the next two games we can win the title," said Okada. "We need to reflect on what's going wrong and find a way to score goals."
World Cup-bound South Korea were beginning the defence of their East Asian title against Hong Kong in Tokyo later on Sunday.
