[ad_1] Bruno Fernandes has revealed he does not agree with teammate Cristiano Ronaldo regarding the impact of new Portugal head coach Roberto Martinez. The former Everton and Belgium boss was named as the surprise successor to Fernando Santos following the 2022 FIFA World Cup. While Martinez has been known to coach attacking and entertaining football, his teams are often characterised by their haphazard and sloppy defending – almost the inverse to how Portugal played under Santos. Ronaldo, who scored four goals in two games for Portugal this month, was quick to tell reporters of the positive impact Martinez has had on the team. “It’s aRead More →

[ad_1] Barcelona are expected to appeal to the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) in an attempt to be awarded the 1937 league title. The RFEF was suspended between 1936 and 1939 due to the Spanish Civil War but, in the meantime, and handful of cup competitions were organised alongside the Mediterranean League which, unofficially, took the place of La Liga. Barcelona won the Mediterranean League in 1937 but, given it was not an official RFEF tournament, it is not a triumph which has been counted in their tally of 26 league titles. However, they could be about to change that as ESPN note Barcelona are preparedRead More →

[ad_1] Chelsea have registered an interest in Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Manu Kone, 90min understands. The Blues are looking to bolster in midfield this summer and have added plenty of names to their shortlist, at the top of which is West Ham United’s Declan Rice. There are plenty of suitors for Rice, however, and so Chelsea are exploring all their options. 90min reported in January that Southampton’s Romeo Lavia was once again of interest to the London side, who failed with a bid to sign the Belgian last summer. Now, sources have confirmed that Gladbach starlet Kone has played his way onto Chelsea’s radar. The 21-year-oldRead More →

[ad_1] Two parties were long believed to be the front runners to takeover Manchester United, but a third party fronted by Finnish businessman Thomas Zilliacus has emerged as another contender.

No more sheiks and oligarks controlling football! #Manchester_United #ManchesterUnited #ManUnitedRead More →

[ad_1] The Mexican national team held Jamaica to a 2-2 draw on Sunday at the Estadio Azteca to top the CONCACAF Nations League Group A and narrowly qualify for the final four.  El Tri managed to balance out an early rocket from Jamaica’s Bobby Decordova-Reid and the own goal by Edson Alvarez with Orbelin Pineda’s first half effort and a penalty by Chucky Lozano. But despite earning the point and spot in the next phase, the tumultuous draw felt like a disappointing way to usher in the ‘Diego Cocca’ era at the hallowed Azteca.  “We wanted a victory here at home, but the game wasRead More →
