Turning their attention back to FA Cup duties on Sunday afternoon, Manchester United will welcome Fulham to Old Trafford.

Manchester United

Starting with the hosts, eventually breezing their way to the Europa League quarter-finals earlier in the week, Manchester United will now be hoping to find some recent domestic stability. Eventually claiming a 1-0 victory away at Real Betis on Thursday evening and romping their way to a 5-1 aggregate win, Erik ten Hag’s side are desperate to complete a real title sweep this season. However, coming under a huge amount of scrutiny for their infamous 7-0 drumming at the hands of historic rivals Liverpool on March 5th, the former Ajax boss has accepted that a genuine Premier League title charge is o…

Brazil joined Colombia in the Copa America quarter-finals, but they were denied top spot in Group D after a nervy 1-1 draw in San Francisco.

Raphinha s stunning free-kick after just 12 minutes was cancelled out by Daniel Munoz in first-half stoppage time, as the spoils were shared at Levi s Stadium.

The draw was enough for the Selecao to secure second place in Group D – one point ahead of Costa Rica, who beat Paraguay 2-1 – though it came at a cost, with Vinicius Junior collecting a second yellow card in three games to rule him out of their last-eight clash with Uruguay.

Meanwhile, having held onto top spot with seven points from their three games, Nestor Lorenzo s Colombia will take on Group C runners-up Panama in the last eight.

Mohamed Salah is one of several Liverpool players to show improvements in the early stages of Arne Slot s reign, according to former Reds goalkeeper David James.

Liverpool have won four of their first five Premier League games under Slot to trail early-season pacesetters Manchester City by just a single point, with a surprise 1-0 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest the only blot on the Dutchman s record.

The Reds have kept four clean sheets already this term, their joint-most in the opening five league games of any season, along with 1967-68, 1977-78, 2005-06 and 2021-22.

It is not only their defence that has impressed, however, with Salah contributing three goals and four assists already in 2024-25. Only Erling Haaland, with 10 goals, has more goal contributions…

The Netherlands and Germany played out a thrilling 2-2 draw in their second Nations League Group A3 fixture in Amsterdam on Tuesday.

Goals from Deniz Undav and Joshua Kimmich saw Julian Nagelsmann s side fight back to lead after they fell behind to Tijjani Reijnders second-minute strike, only for Denzel Dumfries to level five minutes into the second half and keep the sides locked level on four points.

Ronald Koeman s side did suffer a major injury blow late in the first half, though, with Manchester City s Nathan Ake substituted after sustaining an apparent foot injury.

The hosts made a lightning start at the Johan Cruyff Arena, Ryan Gravenberch sliding a neat throughball into the path of Reijnders, who made no mistake when one-on-one with Marc-Andre ter Stegen.<…

Inter must improve defensively if they are to go on and retain their Serie A crown this season, so says Simone Inzaghi.

Marcus Thuram s hat-trick propelled Inter to a 3-2 victory over 10-man Torino on Saturday.

It was Inter s second 3-2 win on the spin in Serie A, moving them up to second.

Inter only conceded seven shots, but five of those were on target, with Torino s 1.61 expected goals (xG) showing the visitors created decent openings at San Siro, where Nikola Vlasic converted a late penalty to set up a grandstand finale.

Clearly, we need to improve in some aspects, we pay a heavy price for every tiny distraction, said Inzaghi, who has seen Inter concede two goals in successive league matches for the first time since May 2023.

England striker Wayne Rooney believes that the Three Lions can lift the Euro 2012 trophy this year.

The 26-year-old is banned for his side s first two group games following his kick-out at Montengro defender Miodrag Dzudovic in the final game of qualifying.

However, he says Roy Hodgson s squad should go into the tournament in Poland and Ukraine with the belief that they can win it.

I think you go into a tournament hoping you can win it, he told BBC s Football Focus.

That s the main thing. In the past two tournaments (World Cup 2006 and 2010), they ve ended in disappointment. Now is the time to put that right.

The Manchester United forward also described England s recent failures at major tournaments as an underachievement.

And the Crox…

Dignity and restraint, even in the wake of a scintillating victory or a disastrous loss, are essential during Euro 2008, says Austria s etiquette guru Thomas Schaefer-Elmayer.

The director of the prestigious Elmayer dance school, which prepares dozens of debutantes annually for the traditional Viennese Opera Ball, has laid down ten rules on how to behave during the Euro.

And dress is of course a primary concern, he says, noting that it is no longer necessary for men to wear a tie to the stadium, as was the custom up until the 1960s.

Today, casual attire is enough, he told the daily Die Presse.

But of course, one must come clothed to the stadium, even on hot days. Arriving only in swimming trunks or bare-chested is not appropriate, he said.

Luka Modric has been crowned the Ballon d Or winner for 2018, beating Cristiano Ronaldo and Antoine Griezmann to claim the prize on Monday.

The Croatia midfielder was the star of the show in his country s run to a first ever World Cup final this year, while he played a major role in Real Madrid winning a third consecutive Champions League crown.

Modric s win ends a decade of dominance for Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, who had won the Ballon d Or five times each over the past 10 years.

Omnisport takes a look at the Opta numbers for 2018 to see how each of Griezmann, Ronaldo and Modric made it into the top three for the Ballon d Or.

Spain ended their 44-year wait for a major international title with a 1-0 victory over Germany at the Euro 2008 final here on Sunday.

Fernando Torres scored the only goal of the game in the first half as football s perennial underachievers finally banished that unwanted tag to the history books.

It was the first time Spain had won the European title since 1964 and their first final since 1984.

They seemed to start tentatively and a mistake from Sergio Ramos gave Miroslav Klose a glorious opportunity after just four minutes, but after taking the ball past Carles Puyol his next touch was too strong and he ran the ball out of play.

Spain gradually started to settle but three-time champions Germany still had the next chance, Thomas Hitzlsperger hitting a…
