India captain Shreyas Iyer admitted his side had once again fallen short in execution across departments after England sealed the T20I series with a dominant nine-wicket victory.Iyer top-scored with an unbeaten 80 as India posted 158 for seven, but England made light work of the chase, reaching the target in just 13.5 overs.“Again, it was a disappointing one. 158 wasn’t the perfect total on the board. Eventually, we saw how quickly they chased it down,” Iyer said.“When we came on to bowl, I just asked the bowlers to repeat the lengths as much as possible. Top of middle and leg…
Glentoran manager Declan Devine said his side will “take huge confidence” into the second leg of their Conference League first round qualifier against RFS.The Glens were narrowly defeated 2-1 by RFS during a tight first leg at the Oval with debutant Zeno Rossi breaking the deadlock before Martins Kigurs netted twice for the away side.

There’s such excitement surrounding Tottenham Hotspur’s summer transfer dealings so far, although the Lilywhites will be going nowhere fast unless significant upgrades are made in the forward line. Almost every senior attacker was pegged back by injury in 2025/26, with only Richarlison truly walking away with any sort of credit in the bank, following his haul of 11 Premier League goals to top the scoring charts. So much was expected of the likes of Randal Kolo Muani, following his loan arrival from Paris Saint-Germain, yet the Frenchman was largely abject, chipping in with just one league goal all season. Even…

Before the game against Morocco, former England striker Ian Wright called Deschamps’ side “one of the most clear favourites for a World Cup tournament I have ever seen”.After a dominant victory in Boston, in which France had 22 attempts compared to only five from Morocco, who had their only shot on target in the 83rd minute, Wright remained impressed.”It is difficult to see the weakness,” said Wright. “If Spain get through they have the quality to maybe pass through them and maybe the pace of Lamine Yamal to try and punish them, but France look imperious. Then you have got…
Kylian Mbappe knows there is no space for complacency within France’s ranks as they target World Cup glory. France cruised to a 2-0 victory over Morocco at Boston Stadium on Thursday, securing their spot in the semi-finals with relative ease. Les Bleus gave up just five shots, with only one of those on target, with Morocco creating chances worth a mere 0.14 expected goals (xG). Mbappe was in the thick of the action. After seeing a first-half penalty saved, the 27-year-old curled in a sublime 60th-minute opener before teeing up Ousmane Dembele to make it 2-0 soon after. 2 –…
Whether or not France’s World Cup campaign ends with a third world title, few will remember Kylian Mbappe’s penalty miss in their quarter-final victory over Morocco.The match in Foxborough was goalless when Mbappe was fouled by Noussair Mazraoui. The France captain stuttered in his run up, looked up at goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, and saw his tame penalty easily saved.Mbappe made amends on the hour mark when his sensational curling effort broke a stubborn Morocco defence, before Ousmane Dembele doubled France’s lead six minutes later to secure a 2-0 win.But his earlier blunder, uncharacteristic for the joint-top scorer in this tournament,…
A veteran of the fight game, legendary promoter Bob Arum has overseen many of boxing’s greatest events, from Muhammad Ali’s comeback to the “Rumble in the Jungle.” Yet when asked to name the proudest moment of his career, the 94-year-old pointed to an entirely different heavyweight fight. Arum said helping George Foreman return to the top of the sport at age 45 remains one of his greatest accomplishments. “[There are] a number of things [which I am proud of] because I have been around so often, but one of them that comes to mind is taking a fat, old George…
