Declan Rice feels fans should share his excitement at England’s set-piece proficiency. England beat Croatia 4-2 in their World Cup opener, with Harry Kane netting twice before Jude Bellingham and Marcus Rashford scored in Dallas. Kane’s second goal came from a pinpoint Rice corner, with the Arsenal man delivering an outswinger straight onto the head of England’s captain.

The Netherlands were well on top until we got the FIFA mandated ad-break, after which the momentum of the game completely changed. Unfortunately for Sweden, they couldn’t make a first half break through, conceded two more in…

In a conversation surrounding all-time Mexican greats, Julio Cesar Chavez is often the first name that springs to mind. This is because he remained undefeated, and became a three-weight world champion, in his first 90 professional fights, before ultimately retiring with a record of 107-6-2 (85 KOs). Besides a controversial draw with Pernell Whitaker in 1993, Chavez hardly put a foot wrong during his unbeaten run, which came to an…
