We all know that Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t take failure or criticism well.

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney does not think any player in the current squad is capable of breaking his goalscoring record.

Jurgen Klopp appears to have finally ended any lingering interest in Virgil van Dijk insisting he’s more than happy with the centre backs already in his squad. Southampton accused Liverpool of making an illegal approach for the Dutchman earlier this summer which saw the Reds immediately drop their interest and issue an official apology. Despite that Van Dijk has gone on to reiterate his desire to leave the club with Liverpool understood to still be his preferred destination. But with the transfer window set to close in three weeks’ time Klopp appears to have drawn a line under the whole saga. “Look out there and tell me five that…

OGC Nice have announced the signing of Midfielder, Wesley Sneijder after the Dutch International agreed personal terms and completed his medical on Monday.

Arsenal fans had arrived searching for clues as to whether Alexandre Lacazette might be the catalyst for a sustained Premier League title challenge but actually departed most uplifted both by the man he was supposed to replace and Kolasinac, a free transfer from Bosnia. Olivier Giroud and Saed Kolasinac had started only among the Wembley substitutes but it was their contributions that ultimately clinched what was a seventh Community Shield for Arsene Wenger. Kolasinac, whose various nicknames even before arriving in England included ‘The Destroyer’, ‘The Tank’ and ‘The Bosnian Hulk’, is just about the least Arsenal-like signing imaginable and, in the…

Blessing Okagbare-Ighoteguonor’s failure to reach the Women’s 100m final on Sunday and Nigeria’s seeming poor outing at the 2017 IAAF World Championships has led to an urgent call for support by Athletics Coach, Tony Osheku.

She is the poster girl for women’s football who made Match of the Day history by becoming the first female pundit to appear on the show. And as well as being top scorer in the league last season she can boast 33 goals for England in 102 caps. But Eni Aluko has now become embroiled in a row with the FA after she claimed she had to quit the national team because of bullying. Aluko has not played for England since April last year, blaming staff who would ‘undermine and belittle’ players. The FA conducted an internal review and an…

American Tori Bowie dove past Mari-Josée Ta Lou of Côte d’Ivoire at the finish line, 10.85 to 10.86, to win the IAAF World Championships 100m final on Sunday night in London. The win marks Bowie’s first individual global championship gold medal and followed Justin Gatlin’s 100m gold on Saturday night, which gave the United States its first gold medal sweep of the event across both genders since the 2005 worlds, when Gatlin and Lauryn Williams combined for gold. Defending world 200m champion Dafne Schippers of the Netherlands earned bronze in 10.96, while world leader and Olympic champion Elaine Thompson finished just fifth in 10.98. Thompson, the overwhelming favorite for gold in…

Nigeria’s Queen of the tracks, Blessing Okagbare-Ighoteguonor on Sunday crashed out in the 100m Women’s event at the ongoing World Championships in London. It was so close yet so far for Blessing Okagbare who finished just outside the top eight runners who have progressed into the final that will take place later tonight. Blessing Okagbare finished 4th in her semi-final race with a time of 11.09secs. No Nigerian woman has a medal from the 100m event at the World Championships and Okagbare has again failed in her bid to end that jinx. The World Championships is far from over for…
