ANOTHER SWEET DEAL AT ANFIELD
A couple of years ago, our friend and yours Sid Lowe interviewed Bayern Munich’s Thiago Alcântara. The Premier League, he said, was “the league I most enjoy”, with the players at one club in particular singled out for praise. “Look at Liverpool’s midfield: Henderson, Milner, Chamberlain, they pressed like animals in [Big Cup],” he said. “They ate up the midfield. They were fantastic.” Generally the only people who talk about the press in England being like animals are put-upon, scandal-haunted celebrities, tired of being chased by moped-riding photographers and having hacks camp on their families’ front lawns, so this was definitely an improvement. But the P…
Erling Haaland has been one of the biggest revelations of the game in the 2019/20 season. The 19-year-old Norwegian wonder has so far bagged 40 goals this term, and he s not far behind the likes of Ciro Immobile, Robert Lewandowski and Cristiano Ronaldo in the race for the Golden Shoe award.
Before his move from RB Salzburg to Borussia Dortmund this January, Haaland was heavily linked with Manchester United, but he obviously judged that a spell with the Bundesliga side would serve his development better at this point in his career. However, as soon as he proved capable of performing in Germany as well as in Austria, reports of Real Madrid interest started popping up.
The latest of those comes from , who also claim that there is a buyout clause in his contract which kick…
Critics are already questioning Chelsea s signing of Spanish striker Alvaro Morata
Alvaro Morata expressed his excitement about the future of the Spanish national team after they confirmed their place in the Nations League quarter-finals on Tuesday.
Morata netted Spain s second goal in their 3-0 win over Serbia, having missed a penalty 11 minutes earlier, with Aymeric Laporte and Alex Baena also on target for La Roja.
Luis de la Fuente s side have now won 12 of their 15 matches in all competitions this year (D2 L1), equalling their most victories in a single calendar year since 2013.
Despite missing seven of their regular first-team players, including the likes of Lamine Yamal, Rodri and Dani Olmo, Spain made light work of Dragan Stojkovic s side in Cord…
Fernando Torres has collected the Euro 2012 Golden Boot, scoring three goals during Spain s title-winning campaign.
In a dramatic turn of events the 28-year-old ensured it would be he who won the accolade with a superb 15-minute cameo in the 4-0 final win over Italy to put another torrid season behind him.
Despite being level with Mario Gomez on three goals and one assist, he takes home the prize having played fewer minutes than his German counterpart.
Torres scored Spain s third in the final with a calm finish before assisting his Chelsea team-mate Juan Mata for their fourth moments later, which together with his brace against Republic of Ireland in the second group game saw him top the goalscoring charts.
The Spaniard also became the first ever player …
Nottingham Forest have been fined over the pitch invasion at the end of their Championship play-off semi-final against Sheffield United almost a year ago.
A Forest fan was jailed after headbutting Blades striker Billy Sharp during the incident at the end of the second leg at the City Ground on May 17 last year, while Sheffield United’s Oli McBurnie was cleared last December of stamping on another pitch-invading Forest fan.
An independent Regulatory Commission has fined Nottingham Forest FC £50,000 for breaching FA Rule E20 at its game against Sheffield United FC on Tuesday 17 May 2022 in the EFL Championship.

England reached a Women’s World Cup semi-final for the first time on this day in 2015 after holding on to beat tournament hosts Canada 2-1 in Vancouver.
Early goals from Jodie Taylor and Lucy Bronze set the Lionesses up for a historic win, but they were forced to dig deep after Christine Sinclair pulled one back for Canada just before half-time.
It was the first time a senior England side – men or women – had reached the World Cup’s last four since 1990.
A HUGE moment for the ! in 2015 we beat Canada on their home turf to reach the semi-finals of the

Injury issues started derailing the Baltimore Ravens’ 2021 plans before the schedule kicked off and stacked up week after week until the team reached a breaking point in December, when quarterback Lamar Jackson went down.
Baltimore is now healed up and will get back to what it does best: Pounding the ground. That dominating rushing attack fuels so many parts of this football team, including the squad’s performance on defense.
The Ravens are ready to return among the NFL’s defensive elite in 2022, with a twist: New coordinator Mike Macdonald. He’s adding new wrinkles to a stop unit that got stale under the blitz-happy, man-to-man schemes of Wink Martindale.
Baltimore’s NFL odds are calling for a return to glory for Joh…
Week 1 of NFL preseason can be a mishmash of rookies, college stars who haven’t put it together in the pros, and players even the most dedicated fans have never heard of. But for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it seems brand-name players will take the field on Friday night.
This could be among the most interesting games in Week 1 of the preseason with the Steelers coming off a 9-8 year led by first round pick Kenny Pickett, and the Buccaneers — who went 8-9 last season — beginning their post-Tom Brady era.
Get ready for the rare Week 1 preseason game that could have an impact on the regular season and the NFL odds.
