According to Talksport, Newcastle are considering a move for Brighton’s Carlos Baleba to boost their depleted midfield ranks. The Magpies have sold Sandro Tonali to Tottenham Hotspur and Bruno Guimaraes to Arsenal, leaving new manager Matthias Jaissle without both of their nailed-on starting midfielders from the previous season. The club obviously need to dip into […] The post Newcastle eye Brighton’s Carlos Baleba appeared first on SoccerNews.
Women’s football has much to gain from the kind of reforms that threats to snub upcoming tournaments might prompt. Infantino should be taken on“And I say to all the women … Pick the right battles. Pick the right fights. You have the power to change. You have the power to convince us men what we have to do and what we don’t have to do. You do it. Just do it. With men, with Fifa, you will find open doors. Just push the doors. They are open.”Those were the condescending words of Fifa’s president, Gianni Infantino, three years ago during a tone-deaf speech in Sydney, which left his audience, including some of the most senior women in the game, exasperated. It is a damning indictment of Infantino’s tenure that his patronising monologue on the eve of the Women’s World Cup final now barely even creeps into the top 10 of the most controversial moments since his latest re-election, in March 2023.

You can’t help but feel the Argentinian with a penchant for red cards has arrived at his spiritual home with his move to Diego Simeone’s Atlético Madrid“He’s not that kind of player” is perhaps the greatest of the co-commentators’ meaningless banalities. Used shortly after a “nice guy” has scythed someone in half about a day after the ball has gone, it is by definition nonsense because if you have scythed someone in half about a day after the ball has gone, then you are indeed that kind of player.But I don’t recall ever hearing anyone saying “the thing is Clive/Brian, he is that kind of player”. I haven’t analysed every foul in Premier League history to tell if you those kinds of challenges are carried out by players all of us would consider to be “that kind of player” as opposed to the opposite – but the list of players with the most red cards suggests a pattern – Richard Dunne, Duncan Ferguson, Patrick Vieira with eight reds, Lee Cattermole and Roy Keane on seven, Vinnie Jones, Joey Barton and Alan Smith (obviously not that one) among those on six.

Inter Miami were eliminated from the 2026 Leagues Cup, but Lionel Messi still has a chance to win three titles with the Herons. Inter Miami’s early exit from the Leagues Cup was a disappointing chapter, but it’s far from the end of the road for a club still chasing serious silverware this season. Lionel Messi and company began 2026 competing for five different trophies, and even with two of those already gone, three remain firmly within reach. The three still in play are the Supporters’ Shield, awarded to the team with the best regular-season record across MLS; the MLS Cup, the league’s postseason championship; and the Campeones Cup, a one-off match against Liga MX’s top club. Miami currently sits second in the Eastern Conference, keeping their Supporters’ Shield hopes alive, while the MLS Cup remains the clearest path to reclaiming the trophy they won a year ago. The Campeones Cup, meanwhile, is already locked in. As the defending MLS Cup champions, Inter Miami automatically qualify for the matchup regardless of how the rest of their season plays out, and they’re set to host Cruz Azul on September 16 in Miami for a shot at continental bragging rights. Lionel Messi #10 of Inter Miami CF lifts the MLS Cup champions’ trophy. (Getty Images) The Leagues Cup blow marks the second cup competition Miami have exited early this year, following their Concacaf Champions Cup elimination back in March at the hands of Nashville on away goals. Messi’s trophy haul with Inter Miami so far Since arriving in Miami, Messi has already added three trophies to his collection with the club. It started with the 2023 Leagues Cup, his first piece of silverware in MLS, followed by the 2024 Supporters’ Shield as Inter Miami claimed the league’s best regular-season record. Last year brought the biggest prize yet: the 2025 MLS Cup, a 3-1 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps in which Messi didn’t score but set up both of Miami’s second-half goals. That MLS Cup triumph was a landmark moment beyond the club itself — it stood as Messi’s world-record 47th trophy across club and country, extending his stake as the most decorated player in the history of the sport. With three more titles still up for grabs this season, Messi has a real chance to add to that number before 2026 is through.

Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick took time out to talk to the media who cover the club at the Carton House Hotel in Maynooth on Wednesday. The pre-season 'sit down' is a long-established United tradition. There has only been a couple of occasions when the United boss of the day has refused to co-operate, once during Sir Alex Ferguson's time, the other in Jose Mourinho's.
