The Socceroos kicked off their 2022 Qatar World Cup campaign on a disappointing note. …

The arrival of new owners in 2008 meant a complete overhaul for Manchester City. From an ordinary mid-table side, they went to being the richest club in England and one of the richest in the world, who were suddenly able to sign any player that their fancy desired. As such, they promptly rose to the category of serious contenders for any trophy they competed for.

Nonetheless, it took them four years to get where their initial plan was to get, and in an incredible finish to the 2011/12 season they won the Premier League, courtesy of a late finish from Sergio Aguero in the last round against Queens Park Rangers. The man at the helm was Roberto Mancini.

The following season was always going to belong to their neighbours United as the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson retired wit…

Steven Naismith revealed he is hopeful of tying down Alan Forrest on a new contract after seeing the winger become “a big player” for Hearts.

The 27-year-old joined from Livingston on a two-year deal in the summer of 2022.

Naismith has been pleased with Forrest’s form recently and felt he was the best player on the pitch in Tuesday’s 2-1 win away to his former club.

The former Ayr attacker won a penalty, which was missed by Lawrence Shankland, and then set up the two goals for Kenneth Vargas and Shankland.

“For me, Al was man of the match,” said manager Naismith. “He’s somebody who has had to be patient but he’s got really good attributes.

“I’ve questioned his big moments – can we get them more consistent? He’s worked as …

Manchester City captain Steph Houghton has signed a one-year contract extension with the Women’s Super League club.

The 35-year-old has been with City for almost a decade since joining from Arsenal and her new deal will extend her stay until the summer of 2024.

Houghton is City’s all-time record appearance maker, having featured in 233 games across all competitions, and has helped the club win the 2016 Women’s Super League title as well as three FA Cups and four Continental Tyres League Cups.

The England international, who started her career at Sunderland before joining Leeds, expressed her delight at the “easy decision” to sign a new deal.

“I’m over the moon to have another year to look forward to at this amazing club,” Houghton told the …

Two Championship outfits that are looking to extend on their FA Cup adventure in midweek, Birmingham will welcome Hull to St. Andrew’s on Tuesday night.

Starting with the hosts, although Birmingham might have parted ways with Wayne Rooney last month, the Blues do find themselves at the heart of an extended Championship crisis. Only continuing to free-fall down the table and with many around St. Andrew’s looking over their shoulder at a potential relegation scrap, new boss Tony Mowbray has a real job on his hands. While the former Blackburn boss might have seen his squad snatch a last-gasp 2-2 stalemate at home against Swansea over the weekend, Birmingham are without a single win from any of their previous seven showdow…

Arsenal have agreed a fee with Chelsea for the signature of Germany forward Kai Havertz.

The 24-year-old has emerged as a top target for the Gunners in recent weeks as they look to improve a squad that finished second in the Premier League last season.

The PA news agency understands a deal has now been struck between the London rivals, allowing Havertz to discuss terms and undergo a medical.

The deal is believed to top £65million including add-ons, with Havertz now likely to become Arsenal’s first signing of the season.

Having joined Chelsea from Bayer Leverkusen in 2020, Havertz has scored 19 goals in 91 Premier League appearances for the Blues and also hit the only goal of the game as they beat Manchester City to win the Champions League in 2021.

American investment firm 777 Partners have returned to the negotiating table at Everton but are now reportedly considering a majority purchase.

The group had been in talks earlier this summer over a partial investment only for rivals MSP Sports Capital to enter into an exclusivity agreement with Toffees owner Farhad Moshiri.

With the agreement now over after that potential investment fell through over repayments to existing lenders – although a £100million loan to help finalise the completion of a new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock was agreed – it appears 777 have re-entered talks.

However, reports suggest it is with a view to a full takeover of the club.

Everton have been seeking outside investment for some time in order to free up finances to comple…

Yoane Wissa helped book DR Congo a trip to the Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals with a second-half spot-kick in their 3-1 last-eight victory over Guinea.

The Syli National had hoped to move one step closer to securing a first-ever trophy in the continental competition, and took an early lead through Mohamed Bayo’s penalty.

DR Congo captain Chancel Mbemba levelled things up before the break, after which Brentford’s Wissa took full advantage of Julian Jeanvier’s punishment with a powerful penalty of his own.

Looking to lay down another marker in the early hours of Tuesday and extend on their promotion charge, Criciuma willl travel to Santa Cruz when they meet an inconsistent Botafogo SP.

Starting with the hosts, crashing back down to earth last week with a nightmare 3-0 drumming away at Ceara, it is no secret that Botafogo are still seeking some much-needed stability since opening the 2023 campaign. Although Adilson Batista’s men might be cruising their way to second-tier safety after making their Serie B return this season, the Sao Paulo-based outfit have won just a pair of their previous eight appearances a run that stems back to a 1-0 victory against Mirassol on May 23rd. Almost sat in Serie B limbo, the Panthers have…

Stefano Pioli credited Zlatan Ibrahimovic for his influence on Milan s squad as he suggested the fit-again striker will soon be able to make his first start of the season.

Having undergone anterior cruciate ligament surgery shortly after helping Milan end an 11-year wait to win the Scudetto last May, Ibrahimovic made his first appearance of the campaign last week.

Ibrahimovic entered the fray as a substitute as Milan beat fellow top-four contenders Atalanta 2-0 at San Siro, recording their fourth consecutive victory without conceding across all competitions.

Asked what kind of involvement Ibrahimovic may have when Milan visit Fiorentina on Saturday, Pioli said: Not full playing time, but he will soon be able to start.

Zlatan is Zlatan, it s his strength…
