The FIFA Museum makes its large-scale debut at Times Square, featuring The Rainbow installation of 211 member association jerseys alongside original trophies and artefacts from both the men's and women's World Cups.

Inter Miami had to come from behind on two occasions to earn a 2-2 draw against Austin FC on their first outing at Nu Stadium, with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez on target.

The table is so tight that the title race and the fight to survive relegation looks like going to the wire, with teams battling for Europe still also looking over their shoulder at the relegation zone.

I have never been racist, and I never will be. What hurt me the most was to be accused of something I never did. It was something I didn't say, and they punished me without proof.

Ireland were cannibalised by their own emotions as the irrepressible energy slowly lapsed with fatigue.

Eoin Kenny's performance drew applause from the Oriel Park crowd, creating a memorable moment for his family during the match.

Keira Barry has received her first senior England call-up after being added to Sarina Wiegman's squad for Women's World Cup qualifiers against Spain and Iceland.

The ongoing discussions regarding future structural changes to the game, such as the introduction of new tournaments (eg. Fifa Club World Cup), further intensify this challenge.

Ratcliffe's language certainly doesn't help, and players have been calling this out for a long time. One thing is clear: they've been showing the type of leadership that those who have more power in the game and society should follow. Calling out discrimination is a courageous move, and should never be taken for granted.
