[ad_1] Brazil have attracted the ire of former Man Utd star Roy Keane as he branded their dancing celebrations at the World Cup ‘disrespectful.’ The five-time winners thrashed South Korea 4-1 in the last 16 on Monday and they broke out a group dance to celebrate every one of their goals. When Richarlison netted the third, he ran over to the bench and got coach Tite involved too, and that didn’t go down well with Keane. “I can’t believe what I’m watching, I can’t believe what I’m watching, it’s like watching Strictly [Come Dancing],” Keane raged on ITV. “I don’t like this. People say it’sRead More →

[ad_1] Brazil eased into the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup with a memorable and emphatic win over South Korea on Monday night. Tite’s men raced into an early lead at Stadium 974 and never looked back as one of the tournament favourites flexed their muscles on the penultimate day of last 16 action. Brazil broke the deadlock after six minutes when Raphinha came inside off the right flank and drew the challenge of several South Korea defenders, with his low cross being touched on by Neymar and into the path of a wide-open Vinicius Junior. The Real Madrid forward managed to pick out theRead More →

[ad_1] France have had their appeal over the result of their World Cup game against Tunisia rejected by FIFA. The appeal was made after their final group game against Tunisia, which the North African side won 1-0 thanks to a Wahbi Khazri goal. It was a game that ended in controversy, though, with substitute Antoine Griezmann believing he had scored an equaliser in the 99th minute. A long delay followed, and the referee allowed Tunisia to kick off again, only for VAR to intervene and disallow the goal for offside. That incensed the French and they lodged an appeal, claiming a breach in VAR protocolRead More →

[ad_1] Brazil boss Tite has thrown Neymar straight back into the starting lineup for their World Cup last 16 tie with South Korea. The PSG star has missed the Selecao’s last two games after picking up an ankle injury in their 2-0 win against Serbia in the opening round of group stage matches. There had been reports that Neymar could be ruled out until the latter stages of the tournament and may not even be able to make a return at all, but he will start against South Korea on Monday evening. There is also a return for Danilo, who comes in at left-back followingRead More →

[ad_1] England midfielder Declan Rice has admitted that ‘faultless’ performances in the World Cup so far have helped silence their critics, but that they still deserve more credit. Gareth Southgate’s side were comfortable 3-0 winners against Senegal on Sunday, setting up a mouth-watering quarter-final against reigning champions France. England also had the best record during the group stage as they were one of only three teams to earn seven points along with the Netherlands and Morocco but did so with a superior goal difference, scoring nine and conceding just two goals. But Rice thinks that the Three Lions’ improvements and formidable displays aren’t being praisedRead More →

[ad_1] Former United States Men’s National Team head coach Bruce Arena believes the US must find a way to play matches against ‘better teams’ if they’re to improve during the 2026 World Cup cycle. The USMNT crashed out of the 2022 World Cup with a 3-1 defeat to the Netherlands on Saturday in their first knockout match at the tournament since 2014. The loss comes after a Group B campaign that saw them take five points and go unbeaten against Wales, England, and Iran, although they only scored two goals during those three matches. Already, attention is turning to the next World Cup, which theRead More →

[ad_1] Round of 16 victories at the 2022 World Cup for holders France and England over Poland and Senegal respectively has set up a tantalising quarter-final matchup between the two major European nations. It was the fixture English supporters had their eyes on in the build-up to the tournament as they were mapping out the Three Lions’ path to World Cup glory.

The 19-year-old put in a stunning showing for the Three Lions in the round of 16 game, bagging an assist for Henderson’s opener. Speaking after the game to BBC, Henderson was full of praise of the young England star. “[He’s] incredible,” Henderson said. “I can’t keep saying nice things about him because we’re talking about, for me, one=–offs. But he’s only young, he’s only 19 and we need him to just play football but incredible, incredible.” When asked about what he sees from the currentRead More →
