The Women’s Asian Cup winners continue to punch above their weight thanks to innovative youth developmentJapan have constantly pushed the boundaries in women’s football, whether it be with regular success in Asia or their ability to beat the biggest nations in the world.Nadeshiko won the Women’s World Cup in 2011 and reached another final in 2015, while more established countries fell by the wayside.
Japan have not replicated that success but did win the Women’s Asian Cup this year under the guidance of Nils Nielsen, who has since been succeeded by Michihisa Kano, and most of the biggest stars play outside the country, with 24 contracted to Women’s Super League clubs alone. Continue reading...
Some have suggested that Manchester City should not have celebrated their Premier League win over Liverpool
Zito Madu | France’s always-cool winger has crowds hanging on his every move – adulation that means more than any title couldWhen I was younger, I wanted to be the captain on my football team because back then, I assumed that the armband was given to the best player.
It was a goal of mine for so long that, even as my youth teams won tournaments and trophies, and I won top scorer and best player awards, I still felt unsatisfied because someone else always had the armband. Whenever I saw another teammate sprinting around with the armband on, I took it as an indictment.I had forgotten this childish way of thinking until France v Belgium in the Uefa Nations League last week.
Ousmane Dembélé, who was wearing the armband for France, was particularly active. Had it not been for the wastefulness of his teammates, he would have had several assists during his time on the field. Continue reading...
Coventry 4-1 Newcastle: Frank Lampard’s side were in fine form as they raised questions about their visitors
The World Cup opener is on track for a sellout – and the Australians are ready for the relentless verbal assault from one particular Kiwi.
If ever validation is needed for attack being the best form of defence, Frank Lampard can call this game up on Wyscout. Coventry climbed out of the relegation zone to the heady heights of 14th place after their second successive win showcased the benefits of their manager’s willingness to balance risk with reward.Jack Rudoni’s early penalty underscored a sense of positivity that was enhanced by an even quicker goal at the start of the second half from Sidiki Cherif and not unduly dimmed by Sven Botman’s howitzer making it 2-1.

Jonathan Wilson | It’s not just that the club’s recent charges themselves are unprecedented – it’s the language used to describe them tooSign up for our free newsletter hereThe language of football is a fine and highly nuanced dialect. The majority of people involved in the game speak it with a high degree of sophistication.
Minor deviations from the familiar, almost imperceptible to outsiders, can set off alarm bells: what’s really going on there? Why isn’t he happy? What’s she hinting at? But it’s an argot developed to talk about football, and when applied to other subjects, it can sound extremely jarring.Erling Haaland is one of the brighter, more engaging players.
There’s an appealing quirkiness to him that suggests he has a higher-than-usual level of self-awareness. He doesn’t mind stepping outside the norms, being a bit different. But consider his assessment of Manchester City’s 3-0 win at Liverpool on Sunday. Continue reading...
Liverpool captain says players heard ‘cheat’ chants‘I don’t think Anfield will be the only place’Virgil van Dijk has suggested Manchester City’s treatment at the hands of the Liverpool crowd on Sunday was a sign of things to come and something their players will have to get used to.
The Liverpool captain also indicated he would make his views known about City’s rule-breaking but said he wanted to wait until their appeal was completed.City were barracked throughout the game at Anfield, their first since they were found guilty of almost all the charges they faced in relation to breaking the Premier League’s financial rules between 2009 and 2018. An independent commission declared that City had overstated their income by £830.69m and would have been in breach of spending regulations in the Premier League and Europe if they had provided a true picture of their finances.

The Dodgers dropped Game 1 of the National League Championship Series. The Brewers needed just two runs to beat the Dodgers Sunday. While two-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal outlasted NL Cy Young candidate Jacob Misiorowski on the mound, the Dodgers offense managed just a single run.

MILWAUKEE –– The Dodgers did almost everything right Sunday night. Key word: Almost.

Jonathan Wilson | Football felt secondary on the first weekend of action since club were found guilty of breaking financial rulesThe Cimbri are heading menacingly south, but in Rome life goes on. The asteroid is definitely coming this way, but people go to work, eat, drink, plan as usual.
The White Walkers are approaching the Wall, but the squabbles between the great houses go on. Everyone in the Premier League knows the crisis is approaching, thinks – hopes, fears? – it may be apocalyptic, but until it arrives, what can you do but carry on?After any break, there’s always an awkward moment while everybody resets.

The league leaders earned a 3-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield in their first match since the Premier League’s guilty verdict was announced
Prem Rugby: Exeter 34-28 NewcastleWade becomes second player to score 100 top-tier triesAmid the current gushing torrent of Prem tries here was a reminder that winning still trumps all else. Exeter finally have their first, relieving, victory of the campaign but there were times when it seemed Newcastle might conceivably secure a first away league success in almost four years.
In the event the Red Bulls fell just short despite Christian Wade running in a hat-trick to become only the second player to score 100 top-tier tries.Exeter will be suitably relieved to have edged a curate’s egg of a contest, ultimately made safe by a late try from their Georgian prop Bachuki Tchumbadze.
The Chiefs’ Italian international back-rower Ross Vintcent also contributed two first-quarter tries to steal some of the prolific Wade’s thunder. The 35-year-old retains a poacher’s instinct and is now closing in fast – in every sense – on Chris Ashton’s all-time Prem career haul of 101. Continue reading...

Yelich, Brewers’ designated hitter and newly-named team captain, will be out for Game 1, but could come off the bench as a pinch-hit option.
