A mixed picture at the clubs coming down, more playoff places to encourage the pack – and the long shadow of spygate at SouthamptonThe relegated teams, naturally, will be the favourites to go back up but two have endured confusing summers. Jarrod Bowen committing to West Ham was a bonus and the quality available to Nuno Espírito Santo should make bouncing back straightforward for the calmest of the clubs to have dropped down. They brought in huge fees for Crysencio Summerville and Mateus Fernandes but incoming activity has been pedestrian, which is the only minor cause of concern. Continue reading...
Sarah Wilson delighted fresh investment was found‘It honestly feels now that nothing’s ever happened’The Durham captain Sarah Wilson has spoken of her relief over the fresh investment that saved the club this summer, after what she recalled as a “horrendous” period worrying that the Women’s Super League 2 club could fold.Durham finished 10th in England’s second tier last term and have been ever-present in WSL2 since 2014 but their ability to remain in the division was in major doubt when the club released a statement on 8 June warning that they would have to “cease operations” if they could not find fresh investment within 21 days. Later in June they were rescued when the local businessman and South Shields FC co-owner Geoff Thompson, together with his co-investor, agreed to acquire a majority stake in the club.

Joshua Zirkzee and Brenden Aaronson scored as Manchester United and old foes Leeds played out an entertaining 1-1 friendly draw at the spiritual home of Irish sport in Dublin, before the concluding shoot-out was edged 5-4 by Michael Carrick's side.
Manchester United 1-1 Leeds (5-4 on pens)First game between two English clubs at Croke ParkWith blazing sunshine fading over a hot Dublin day, this penultimate friendly for Manchester United and Leeds United felt like a pre-season game on a far continent, not one staged a few hundred miles from the teams’ home across the Irish Sea.The phoney-war element is always present whatever the locale, as players sharpen technique and fitness, so when Joshua Zirkzee’s instant left-foot shot met Diogo Dalot’s zipped-in cross and James Trafford saved low, all involved could be satisfied.

Inter Miami take on Club Leon in a pivotal 2026 Leagues Cup match, where only a win would keep their hopes of reaching the knockout stage alive. Inter Miami face a win-or-go-home 2026 Leagues Cup scenario against Club Leon, and the math isn’t as simple as just picking up three points. A straightforward victory alone won’t guarantee Miami’s spot in the knockout stage — the margin of the win, combined with results from three other matches being played across the group, will determine whether they advance. Adding to the difficulty, Lionel Messi remains unlikely to be available for the match. The Argentine has not rejoined the squad since the passing of his father, Jorge Messi, last week, and Inter Miami have yet to give a firm timeline for when he might return to action. Miami currently sit on three points after splitting their first two matches, having lost 1-2 to Monterrey in their last outing. Leon, meanwhile, arrive unbeaten through Phase One, having won both of their matches so far and looking like one of the group’s stronger sides heading into Matchday 3. What happens if Inter Miami beat Club Leon A regulation win would put Miami on six points, but it needs to come by at least two goals to meaningfully help their goal-difference tiebreaker in a crowded standings picture. Rodrigo De Paul of Inter Miami celebrates with teammates after scoring vs Monterrey. (Getty Images) Beyond the scoreline itself, Miami would then need at least three of the following four results to fall their way: San Luis avoiding a blowout loss to Orlando City if they lose at all; Monterrey winning or drawing away at Nashville; Toluca beating FC Dallas; and Querétaro either beating LAFC outright or winning on penalties after a draw. Even then, Miami wouldn’t be fully safe. Qualification would likely come down to Thursday’s remaining fixtures, where goal-difference swings from those late results could still decide who claims the final spots among MLS clubs. What happens if Inter Miami draw with Club Leon Leagues Cup group matches don’t end in draws — any game tied after 90 minutes goes straight to penalties, with the shootout winner earning two points and the loser earning one. Only a full three points from a regulation win checks the box Miami need. A shootout result of either kind would leave Miami short of the points and goal-difference cushion required, effectively ending their hopes regardless of how the other results around the group fall. What happens if Inter Miami lose to Club Leon A loss in regulation would eliminate Miami from Leagues Cup contention outright, regardless of what happens in the other matches across the group. With León already unbeaten through two matches, anything short of a win Wednesday brings Messi’s side to the brink of an early exit from the tournament.
