🚨❌ Thomas Tuchel on Trent left OUT of 35 men England squad: “I know what Trent can give us, and we decided to stick with our players”. “I know his strengths, he’s a huge player but It’s a sportive decision… we stick with Quansah, Spence, Livramento”.

Tyler Adams said USMNT players weren’t going to do the photoshoot unless they were given a voice in designing the 2026 World Cup kits. Nike and the U.S. Soccer agreed. “The team wasn't too fond of the [kits] we were going to be wearing [in Qatar], just because we didn't feel it represented us necessarily and the country as we'd like,” he said. “When you have an opportunity to represent your country at a World Cup, you just want to love the kit.” “For me, it was simple: I want something that's timeless.” “I want to have that kit you look back at in 30 years and you're like, ‘That's still the best one.’ It's pretty straightforward: You have to have stars and stripes of some sort. They represent us perfectly.” “You need to have kits that you just love putting on. You just get that feeling like, look good, play good. And it sounds corny, but I believe in that.” “I feel like we had more say than Nike had in it, to be honest with you.” [via Yahoo Sports]

Would change their clubs lives It would also force big teams to stay honest and not get bailed out by 5th

Emma Raducanu was overpowered in a thrashing that lasted just 52 minutes 😧 She won just 11 points in the first set.

Seen a lot of negative comments on this but haven’t seen one person explain why other than *change is bad*

“Cricket in India is ten times bigger than football in the UK!” 🇮🇳 Ravi Shastri knows how much a World Cup win in India would mean.

Who's the first horse you think of when you see Rich Ricci famous colours?

𝐈𝐓'𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐃 𝐂𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐇... 👀 Manchester City could be deducted 40 to 60 points if they are found guilty of the charges against them, according to a football finance expert. 🫣 City and the Premier League are still waiting for the verdict over 115 alleged financial breaches by the club between 2009 and 2018. ⌛️

Baffling me how Rodrigo Gomes isn’t starting games.
