A plea has been made to keep the football tradition of matchday programmes alive with clubs starting to take notice. Over recent seasons, a growing list of clubs started to phase out matchday programmes, a number of reasons given, but now following fresh calls, they are being brought back. Gillingham are the latest club to do just that, while Shrewsbury recently caused quite the reaction on social media when saying they would instead turn to a digital version. We thank you for your continued support of the printed match programme. 🤝 We are delighted to announce a printed edition will…

Haaland has now scored in each of his past 13 competitive appearances for Norway, claiming 25 goals in that run.Yes, that included filling his boots against Moldova, Israel and Estonia.

Ivory Coast and Norway meet at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on June 30 in a World Cup 2026 Round of 32 knockout tie that carries genuine upside for both sides.

“I feel like Ennis, he was tired too,” Berlanga said to Fight Hub TV. “I feel like he gassed out quick, maybe from overtraining in camp and stuff. He didn’t look like himself as far as conditioning-wise. It looked like he was real tired.” Berlanga admitted he had never seen Ennis hurt the way he was when Zayas landed a series of clean right hands in the third round. “It was a lot of things that was going through my mind,” Berlanga continued. “I’m like, ‘Damn.’ Because I never seen Boots hurt like that. He was hurt. And not just…
Wimbledon is, for many, the highlight of a British sporting summer, with those flocking to SW19 – or following elsewhere – desperate to cheer home players to victory.But 15 of the 19 Britons have lost already this year – the highest number of first-round exits since 1988 and the highest percentage of defeats since 2013.Home hopes were, of course, not helped by Jack Draper and Emma Raducanu – the pair with the most pedigree – pulling out because of injury.”There have been some tough draws, but it certainly doesn’t look good,” British stalwart Dan Evans, who was not given a…
Terence Crawford remains unconvinced that Jaron Ennis is the real deal, naming a world champion who would pose a genuine threat to his title reign. The 29-year-old became a two-division unified champion last week, dethroning Xander Zayas with a seventh-round stoppage to claim the WBO and WBA super-welterweight titles in New York. While it was a largely dominant performance, ‘Boots’ did encounter the odd moment of bother, particularly when he seemed troubled by a third-round right hand. To his credit, though, the flashy stylist was able to recover and eventually halted his man with a third knockdown. In doing so,…
It is not only their devastating finishing about which France’s World Cup rivals should be concerned.The spirit and unity of this exceptionally talented Les Bleus team should also worry the remaining sides left in the tournament – and it was on full display during Tuesday’s 3-0 dismantling of Sweden.After Kylian Mbappe’s superbly crafted opening goal, France’s all-time leading scorer ran straight towards his bench to embrace Didier Deschamps.The head coach was back in the dugout for the first time since returning from France to attend the funeral of his mother.It was a heartfelt moment. Mbappe and Deschamps were then joined…
Marcelo Bielsa has confirmed his resignation as Uruguay coach following their disastrous World Cup campaign. It was all but certain Bielsa would step away after Uruguay crashed out in the group stage, finishing behind tournament debutants Cape Verde. Uruguay took just two points, drawing against Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde and losing to Spain. And Bielsa, who took charge of Uruguay in 2023, has now officially announced his departure from the role. “It was completely unexpected that our situation would turn out the way it did,” he told reporters in a typically fiery press conference. “My responsibility is very clear; I…
