Nottingham Forest have chance to change dynamic of a chaotic season - will they take it?
While Nottingham Forest players celebrated in the dressing room after beating Burnley, Vitor Pereira’s message was simple and clear.It would be a mistake, he said, for Forest to focus on their rivals in the relegation battle. They should worry only about themselves.Forget about what Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Leeds United do in their remaining five Premier League games and worry only about what you can control.Advertisement
Tottenham's Kevin Danso is a fantastic defender but he is so much more than that
There has been a lot of focus on Kevin Danso’s actions in the build-up to Georginio Rutter’s agonising stoppage-time equaliser for Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend.Danso, who had been booked earlier in the second half for a foul on Kaoru Mitoma, made the right decision not to wildly slash at Yankuba Minteh’s cross with Jan Paul van Hecke was lurking behind him. It is easy to blame Danso for what happened next but the alternative had he rashly brought down Van Hecke — a penalty and a secon...

50 days to go until 2026 World Cup: France's attack is electrifying. Can they go all the way?
Fifty days out from the World Cup, France are in ominously impressive form and will go into the tournament as one of the favourites to lift the trophy. After a curious Euro 2024, where Les Bleus went out in the semi-finals having scored only three goals from open play (two of which were own goals), head coach Didier Deschamps used the subsequent Nations League campaign to recalibrate his misfiring attack.Advertisement
50 days to go until 2026 World Cup: Can Nagelsmann fix the defence and get Germany firing?
Germany are 50 days away from what they hope will be redemption. Since winning the World Cup in 2014, they have twice failed to emerge from their group — falling at the first hurdle in 2018 and 2022 — but are among the favourites for 2026.An encouraging showing at the 2024 European Championship, where they reached the quarter-final, was seen as progress. However, in the two years since, the country’s optimism has risen and fallen in response to capricious form.What does Germany expect? Nobody’s...

Karren Brady's exit means the Premier League lacks senior women. And that's a problem
Karren Brady’s decision to step down from her role as vice-chair of West Ham United after 16 years is unlikely to trigger a surge of grief across east London.To call Brady a divisive figure would be understating it. Yes, she moved West Ham from Upton Park to a new 60,000-capacity home at the former Olympic Stadium but … she also moved West Ham from Upton Park to a new 60,000-capacity home at the former Olympic Stadium. For all the extra commercial revenue it raised — a factor behind West Ham win...

Over five seasons in Norman, he put up a 55-10 record, coached two Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks and won four consecutive Big 12 Conference titles. He had three consecutive College Football Playoff appearances, though never advanced to the National Championship game. Thanks in large part to a heartbreak...
