FIFA threatens to ban players from World Cup if they agree to join European Super League

Who would be a football manager, eh? You land a risky role at a sleeping giant, which has chewed up and spat out a number of experienced coaches in recent years, and despite the odds being stacked against you, you manage to unite a seemingly broken club. Then you get sacked. The axe hasn't fallen on Stefano Pioli just yet, but it is being sharpened as we speak. The Italian coach's appointment back in October was used as a measuring stick of just how far Milan have fallen in recent years, but...

Rapinoe, Lloyd, Pugh headline U.S. camp calls

many We've all experienced that one moment in our lives, where something horrific is unfolding before our eyes, and there's nothing we can do but gawp and watch on, completely powerless over the terror that is befalling us. Sometimes, it's an antique vase falling off a table you've accidentally knocked while celebrating a last-minute goal (sorry mum), or it can even be totally unrelated to football. But in Brazil's case, there is only one period in time that they look back on as their darkest...

‘Smith Rowe all over the place like Ozil never was’ – Potential of Arsenal youngster excites Wright

On 9 February, Milan took a shock 2-0 lead into the half-time break over bitter rivals Inter, but ultimately came up short, shipping four second half goals and collapsing in gut-wrenching fashion. On Tuesday evening, the very same team found themselves staring down the barrel of a two-goal deficit to Juventus. This time however, they showed enormous spirit and quality to rumble the champions of Italy, claiming a precious 4-2 victory. It was a telling demonstration of just how far this group of...

Il Biscione's Champions League place is effectively secured, though - while their Scudetto chances appear to be over - so they'll be looking to finish...

Chelsea midfielder Jorginho has been linked with a move to Juventus and a reunion with former coach Maurizio Sarri that could help the Stamford Bridge club fund an approach for Bayer Leverkusen forward Kai Havertz and others.

January brings big test of Leicester's Champions League credentials - but they have what it takes

Remember the heady days of 2005? Jose Mourinho was new and shiny, Arsenal scored 87 league goals in a season, Bolton finished level on points (58) with Liverpool and Manchester City missed out on Europe on the last day. David James remembers it well – especially that last part, playing a central and completely unexpected role in it when he was moved out from between the sticks (Nicky Weaver took over) and stuck up front. The FA Cup winning goalkeeper remembers every moment well, blowing out...

Adrien Rabiot is mobbed after scoring his first Juventus goal. Moments after the restart, Juventus hit the front through Adrien Rabiot's first goal for the club before Cristiano Ronaldo steered home...

Valiant Defensive Display Should Please Mikel Arteta Despite Late Arsenal Slip-Up

It wasn't long ago when you'd have been hard pressed to pick out a genuine leader and undroppable defender at Arsenal. But now, the very same players who have received so much criticism are thriving in Mikel Arteta's new 3-4-3 formation - a system that provides greater protection, shielding and solidity. The formation has worked well in well recent times, with the north Londoners producing some of their finest performances - and indeed results - of the season so far. But another hugely tough...

Sergio Romero has 'said his goodbyes' at Man Utd ahead of transfer exit

iser A late Jamie Vardy equaliser earned Leicester a valuable 1-1 draw at Arsenal, as the hosts were left ruing Eddie Nketiah's second half red card. It was the Foxes who started brightly at the Emirates Stadium, but as so often happens the opening goal went against the run of play. Teenager Bukayo Saka burst forward down the right after collecting Dani Ceballos' perfectly weighted through ball, before squaring for captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, to slide home from close range. A frustrating...
