England drew 0-0 with the USA

England's dull draw with the USA at the World Cup is on many of the front pages.

The i weekend declares that "Southgate's stars" were "bitterly disappointing" against the underdogs from the USA".

The Sun, the Mirror and the Daily Star all take a Bruce Springsteen song as inspiration for their identical headlines - "Yawn in the USA".

They all have the same photo of a girlfriend of one of the England players captured in the stands in mid-yawn. "Lions tamed" is the verdict of the Times.

The Daily Mail describes the England team as "dismal" but says "the World Cup flop" sets up a crunch clash with Wales on Tuesday. Its headline looks ahead to that game as a "Battle of Britain".

The Times leads on an interview with the chief constable of Greater Manchester Police who tells the paper that officers should "stop tweeting and get on with the job they are paid to do".

Stephen Watson said he wants police to avoid what he calls "online fluff and nonsense" and concentrate on catching criminals and answering 999 calls.

The paper explains that Mr Watson has overhauled his force, bringing it out of special measures in less than two years.

He also tells the paper that police tend to use social media badly, and attributes his success to a "back to basics" approach.

An article by the Princess of Wales is the main news for the Daily Telegraph.

Catherine says that "not enough is being done" to nurture Britain's youngest children, and she promises to do everything she can to protect the next generation.

She says she wants to "shine a light" on the crucial early years and the importance of building a "safe and loving world around a child".

The paper describes her article as "setting out her mission" for the next stage of her life in the royal family.

The Daily Express says parents are raiding their retirement funds early to help their children through the cost-of-living crisis.

It cites research from a financial services company that shows 500,000 people withdrew £3.6bn from pension pots in just three months this year.

Analysts say people are dipping into pension funds to make ends meet and, as a result, risk running out of savings in retirement.

The Guardian highlights the threat of eviction for some care home residents with severe disabilities because of funding disputes between a number of local authorities and charities.

The Leonard Chesire organisation tells the paper it can no long afford to subsidise the 3,000 people it currently supports because of rising costs, which councils are not prepared to meet.

In what the paper calls "the UK's deepening social care crisis", it describes the local authority reliance on charity subsidies for disability care as "unsustainable".

Rishi Sunak has been warned there will be a "mass exodus" of MPs before the next general election, according to the i.

It says a number of Tories have already said they won't be standing - including the latest, Dehenna Davison, who was seen as a rising star.

The paper says party bosses are "bracing themselves" for more announcements before 5 December when politicians have to say whether they intend to seek another term.
