UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer urges FIFA to investigate Argentina after players held a Falklands banner following a win against England. Argentina’s celebrations got underway as soon as the final whistle blew, but a group of their players controversially displayed a banner. It read “Las Malvinas son Argentinas”, which translates as “The Falklands are Argentine”. The Falkland Islands, which is a British overseas territory, remain the subject of a long running sovereignty dispute between Britain and Argentina.

Argentina fans responded with gestures of their own, with one punching the bus windows.”Henry’s full of character,” Borthwick said. “We want character in our game and we want character in our squad.”This squad really embraces what he brings. It takes all kinds of different personalities and we’ve got some players who wouldn’t do that and then you’ve got Henry who would go and do that.”We embrace it. I think it was done in good nature and it came from a very good place.”England have won nine of their past 10 meetings with the Pumas, including both Tests while on tour…

Aston Villa have agreed a deal for Wolves star Joao Gomes, and Fabrizio Romano’s latest claim suggests they could be closing in on Pervis Estupinan. Villa would be making a smart, low-risk move by bringing Estupinan back to the Premier League. The Ecuador international already understands the pace and physical demands of English football, while Unai Emery knows exactly what he can offer after working with him at Villarreal. With Lucas Digne joining PSG, Villa need a replacement who can attack aggressively without leaving the defence exposed. Estupinan looks ready-made for that role. The deal now appears to have taken…
After DAZN Boxing posted footage of Haney working the heavy bag, Garcia focused on what he saw as a noticeably bigger physique, joking that the former two-division world champion looked ready for another weight class. “Wow looks like he’s moving up to 154 😂😂 he put on size pretty quick…. Didn’t he?” Garcia wrote on X. The comment came in response to a shirtless Haney training video that showed him looking more muscular than in recent appearances. Haney has been back in the gym while negotiations continue for a potential fight against Shakur Stevenson, and Ryan wasted little time turning…
Players saw their families and loved ones immediately after the defeat in Atlanta and it is understood there was a definite sense in those moments that the way the team was set-up after going ahead was a contributing factor in their downfall.BBC Sport is aware of at least three senior players who have complained privately about the team’s approach during the closing stages.There is an acknowledgement that ceding ground on the pitch when defending a lead is a natural instinct for players.But, equally, there is believed to be a consensus among certain players that Tuchel’s tactical switches and substitutions exacerbated…
London City Lionesses have completed the signing of Sweden forward Rosa Kafaji from Women’s Super League rivals Arsenal. Kafaji joined the Gunners in August 2024 from BK Hacken and scored her only WSL goal for the club in a 2-0 victory at West Ham that October. After struggling for regular minutes at the Emirates Stadium, Kafaji spent the 2025-26 campaign on loan at Brighton, netting twice in 19 WSL appearances for the Seagulls. Now, she has penned a three-year deal with the ambitious Lionesses, who have made headlines by bringing in two-time Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas and former England…
Canelo Alvarez has revealed what he thinks Terence Crawford needed to do in order to receive his full praise. Crawford pulled off the big upset last September as he successfully stepped up two weight divisions and earned a unanimous decision victory over Canelo at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas to dethrone the Mexican superstar of his undisputed super-middleweight crown. Canelo was keen to run things straight back as he chased an immediate rematch against Crawford, but ‘Bud’ instead made the decision to hang up his gloves and retire, vacating the world title belts in the process. It seems Canelo…
What jumps out is that although both managers have started from opposite tactical viewpoints, there are clear similarities in both their tournament runs – much to Tuchel’s frustration.After England’s victory against Norway, Tuchel said: “The result is fantastic but I’m not happy with the performance,” before adding, “[we were] sloppy, tactical mistakes, not fast enough, not repetitive enough.”These all speak to fact that the principles he wanted to see in his side were not on show. Both goals against Norway came from moments of individual brilliance against disorganised defences. A goal-kick that fell short and landed at Elliot Anderson’s feet gave…
