As England ramp up their preparations for Euro 2024, one player has been tipped to land a mind-blowing £375,000-a-week contract once he returns from Germany. Gareth Southgate and the 26-man Three Lions squad travel to Germany on Monday ahead of their first Euros game against Serbia next weekend. Despite a shock and disappointing 1-0 defeat to Iceland in their final warm-up match, England are one of the favourites to win the tournament. England have gone 58 years without a major trophy but reached the latter stages of the last World Cup – just as they did in 2018 – while…

Everton striker Maupay, who spent last season on loan at Brentford, angered Maddison and the Tottenham squad by copying his darts celebration in a Premier League match against Spurs in January. Maddison and Maupay shared some tense words after the incident and the Frenchman escalated the feud on social media when he posted: ‘More goals and less relegations in my career than James Maddison.’ Maupay, 27, reignited the feud after Maddison released an honest and emotional statement following…

Has there ever been a more despairing 24-hour period in English sport? Probably, but after England’s dismal performance during the 1-0 defeat to Iceland at Wembley and the T20 World Cup battering suffered against Australia in Bridgetown it’s difficult to immediately bring one to mind. Of course, this may well be recency bias, a good old fashioned kneejerk reaction or just plain grumpiness but the two defeats hardly augur well for the rest of a sporting summer which promised so much and is now in danger of providing so little. England had only one shot on target on Friday and…

Phil Jones says Marcus Rashford ‘could have certainly offered something’ had he been selected in England’s Euro 2024 squad and expects the forward to bounce back stronger than ever next season. Rashford managed just eight goals in all competitions for Manchester United last term and has been left out of Gareth Southgate’s 26-man party set to fly out to Germany for this summer’s eagerly anticipated tournament. It’s just the latest setback in a concerning fall from grace for the attacker, who enjoyed his best ever campaign in front of goal in the 2022/23 season after finding the back of the…

Paul Merson has urged Portugal to take the difficult decision to bench Cristiano Ronaldo for the start of Euro 2024. Ronaldo enters his sixth European Championships having spent the last 18 months at Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr, where he has scored 64 goals in 70 appearances. The 39-year-old is Portugal’s greatest-ever player and will look to add to his 206 caps and 128 goals at the Euros in Germany. But Merson believes Ronaldo should start the tournament from the bench and only come into the side once Portugal’s qualification to the knockout stages has been secured. Roberto Martinez’s…
