Man Utd paid around £60m to sign from Spanish giants Real Madrid during the 2022 summer transfer window.

The veteran midfielder impressed for during his debut season, but his performances since the start of the 2023/24 campaign have been extremely concerning.

Casemiro produced an embarrassing disasterclass against Liverpool as two of his mistakes resulted in goals. He was dragged off at half time as Man Utd suffered a damaging 3-0 loss at Old Trafford.

The 32-year-old was heavily linked with a move elsewhere during the summer transfer window. The Saudi Pro League was mooted as a potential destination, but …

Alejandro Garnacho, Rashford and Christian Eriksen all scored a brace each on top of Antony s penalty to breeze past the South Yorkshire outfit.

Head coach Julen Lopetegui wants sceptical West Ham fans to judge him at the end of 2024/25 after a poor start in east London.

Lopetegui replaced David Moyes this summer but has led to an underwhelming start to the season.

They have lost their first three home matches for the first time in the club’s history and suffered a 5-1 Carabao Cup defeat at Liverpool on Wednesday.

It is a poor return on a summer spending spree of £120million on nine new signings, but Lopetegui insists he is not feeling the heat.

“The coach’s job is always like this,” said the Spaniard. “But it’s no matter. The more important pressure that I feel is to be ready for the next match.

“We have experience about this and we are thinking how to improve the team, t…

While sports betting expansion in the U.S. has skyrocketed since 2018, iGaming legislation has lagged behind, with only six states presently offering online gaming throughout the country.

But, leaders of FanDuel, BetMGM, and Rush Street Interactive shared their positivity at SBC Summit North America for the iGaming market and how online gaming opportunities would factor into their businesses in the near future.

Legalization on Its Way

Despite the slow expansion and , FanDuel President Christian Genetski predicted that states with legalized sports betting and existing land-based casinos would soon turn their attention to iGaming legislation.

The catalyst for legislation will be the need for additional revenue streams in states with crunched budgets, Genetski said…

As bad as things are going of late for both the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots, the Patriots vs Steelers injury reports and inactives are offering indications that it s going to get worse.

Two teams that are dreadful offensively will both be without vital offensive performers for this game.

Losers of five in a row, New England will be taking the field minus RB Rhamondre Stevenson, the club s leading rusher. He s out with an ankle injury. Meanwhile, after undergoing tightrope surgery to deal with a high ankle sprain, Pittsburgh QB1 Kenny Pickett is out as well.

Pittsburgh is the 6-point home chalk over New England in the Patriots vs Steelers odds. The Patriots are 0-5 straight up and against the spread over their past five games.

So far in th…

A comment about a bet being a risk-free investment during a March college basketball show on ESPN has led to an adjudicatory hearing for PENN Interactive with the Gaming Commission.

Massachusetts gaming regulators unanimously agreed today to hold a hearing regarding ESPN College GameDay host Rece Davis s on-air comments during a late-March ESPN BET best bets segment.

It s an area that I, as a commissioner, am concerned about, this cross-pollination between ESPN commentators, the lines and the betting, and the commentary that they make. I would like us to do a deep dive, Commissioner Eileen O Brien said at the meeting.

The Real Madrid forward's stunning long-range strike was the difference as the Selecao earned a crucial three points on the road to 2026

Rodrygo came to the rescue as Brazil defeated Ecuador 1-0 in CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifying on Friday. The Selecao were tested heavily by Moises Caicedo and La Tricolor, but the Real Madrid star's incredible first-half goal made all the difference.

Rodrygo's opener, and ultimately the winner, arrived in the 30th minute off a Lucas Paqueta assist. The winger received the ball on his left foot, switched to his right, and fired a 20-yard strike past the goalkeeper and into the back of the net.

After a disappointing showing at Copa America 2024, where Brazil exited in the quarter-finals, Dorival Junior's side bounced back …

The U.S. rightfully has high hopes for the expected next head coach, but the players need to take accountablity

A new coach can make countless differences, and if – as expected – Mauricio Pochettino eventaully takes over the coaching reins for the U.S. men's national team, he surely will.

But at some point, players need to take responsibility.

That's the reality the USMNT is facing after an embarrassing 2-1 loss to Canada Saturday. Their recent struggles aren't simply about coaching. They're also about attitude.

This isn't outside-looking-in speculation, either. This isn't kicking a team when they're down. No, it's an admission straight from the players themselves. More than anyone, those in the U.S. locker room realize that t…
