When Marsch kept Leeds in the Premier League on the final day of the 2022-23 season, he could hardly have envisaged he would be sacked a few months later. But that is what happened after a run of seven games without a win, with Marsch later describing the decision as “foolish”.It was a significant setback for the 52-year-old, who had long held an ambition to coach at the highest level. But another chance came in 2024, with the USA job.The chance to manage his home country would have been a dream come true but, despite believing the job was his,…
Lionel Scaloni said Lionel Messi continues to surprise him after the Argentina captain made more World Cup history against Jordan. Argentina rounded off their perfect Group J campaign with a 3-1 victory over Jordan at Dallas Stadium, with Messi coming off the bench and making an impact. Giovani Lo Celso’s 19th-minute free-kick and a Lautaro Martinez penalty had put Argentina two goals in front at the break, but Jordan responded brilliantly in the second half. Just as Messi was preparing to be introduced into the action, Mousa Al Tamari tucked Ehsan Haddad’s teasing cross past Emiliano Martinez to halve the deficit. But after winning…

At the time of Clarke’s appointment in May 2019, Scotland were looking for someone who could do one principal thing – get the country back to a major men’s tournament for the first time since 1998. That has been achieved, multiple times. So the remit for his successor will be to build on that success in qualifying for three finals by reaching the knockout phase.Clearly that is easier said than done. Clarke has done a magnificent job in galvanising the squad and the country, developing a much-lauded club-like spirit, which has certainly played a role in qualification success. That is…
It is impossible to gauge exactly who has only come on for a penalty shootout.But if we take those who come on for the final five minutes of injury time, there are only five (three of which were in 2022) – and only two of those scored.Paulo Dybala came on in injury time at the end of the 2022 final and scored in Argentina’s shootout win over France.In Morocco’s last-16 win over Spain, both sides brought on players in the final two minutes – Badr Benoun and Pablo Sarabia – and the pair missed.England’s Jamie Carragher came on with two…
Josh Acheampong’s future is once again in doubt after another Chelsea wing back signing this week.

That is Malo Gusto’s usual role, and it now looks very likely that the Frenchman is sold…

Ben Whittaker had a message for Gabe Rosado after backing up his performance with another early knockout on Saturday night. Whittaker stopped Richard “Popeye” Rivera in the second round at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, making a successful United States debut and improving to 12-0-1 (9 KOs). Before the fight, Rosado had suggested Rivera possessed the power to knock Whittaker out if the British contender wasn’t at his best. Asked about those comments during the post-fight press conference, Whittaker didn’t hold back. “I saw Ring Magazine did a sit-down interview with Gabe Rosado, and he had Popeye to knock me out,”…
Ian Dennis, BBC Radio 5 LiveFrance. I’ve seen all of their group games and they’ve made it three wins from three for the first time since they won the World Cup in 1998.

We take a look at the favourites to become new Scotland manager as Steve Clarke steps down after his side’s World Cup exit. Their chances of advancing to the knockout looked bleak following their group fixtures, and after a week or waiting, Scotland’s elimination from the 2026 World Cup was confirmed following Croatia’s win against Ghana. The result also means Scotland are the first nation in World Cup history to be eliminated from the Group Stage nine times. Shortly after the result, Clarke, who only signed a new four-year deal only a month ago, issued a statement, confirming he was…
