I expect a tough opponent tomorrow. It wasn't easy to beat them in the first leg. They play a lot of long balls, so you have to fight for the second ball, the third and fourth ball. They did well against Slovakia. It won't be easy. We have to perform very well to win,

I don't know. It hasn't happened in the past; I made other choices. Juve is always close to my heart. They gave me so much when I first got there. In terms of the future, I don't know. My feeling is that I want to be able to coach the national team in the future, even though I don't mean right now. I would like to one day, but we'll see.

Cue Thomas Müller.The former Bayern Munich forward collected at the edge of the box and, in his space-interpreting custom, scanned around for options while seemingly opening up space around himself, like an anti-gravity well. The Orlando defenders were wary of an immediate strike or a lay-off to teammates in good positions, and so it was that three bodies stationed somewhere in Müller's secondary orbit stood by casually and watched as the 36-year-old suddenly lined up his shot and rifled it, left-footed, into the bottom corner.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y.- The Staten Island Academy boys' varsity soccer team recently clinched first place in its PSAA league, capping off an impressive regular season that could lead to one of the program's biggest milestones yet. With momentum firmly on their side, the Tigers are eyeing their first-ever ACIS playoff appearance in school history. After a 3-3 draw with Berkeley on Wednesday- highlighted by a late equalizer from Nick Acquilano- the Tigers responded with back-to-back victories to close out the week.

France will look to maintain their perfect record in Group D as they travel to face Iceland in Monday's 2026 World Cup qualifier. Didier Deschamps's team currently top the group with nine points from three games, while Iceland sit third - one point behind second-placed Ukraine in the chase for a play-off berth. Iceland began their qualifying campaign with a 5-0 win over Azerbaijan but have since suffered back-to-back defeats:

International player Jamie Leweling left the national team's headquarters in Herzogenaurach this Saturday. The VfB Stuttgart player, who had been training individually since Tuesday due to adductor problems, is on the road to recovery. To avoid any risks for the current season, Leweling will not travel with the national team to Belfast tomorrow, Sunday, for the World Cup qualifier against Northern Ireland.

I've got too many, honestly, he tells FourFourTwo. Ever since I got drafted, I just wanted to have a really nice jersey collection. I have a lot of retro United jerseys, plus all three kits from this year. I have that retro Madrid kit, and I really like their alternate shirt this year, the blue one.

Norway, along with European champions Spain, are one of the best two teams on the continent. That is the view of Israel head coach Ran Ben-Shimon, whose team were torn apart by Erling Haaland and company in a 5-0 World Cup qualifying defeat in Oslo on Saturday. Norway have not played at a major tournament since Euro 2000, but they are realistically just three points from confirming qualification for next year's World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada.

Today in Dublin, I went to photograph what I thought was a parade. They grabbed my camera and pushed Steve over. They then kicked him in the head, unable to get up they continued to kick him. They were Schalke football hooligans. I'm so appalled and disgusted,

It's work on the training field; it's staying disciplined with the players and understanding that we have a specific way of playing,

Until he was 19 years old, Maik Taylor had never played a game in goal. Until he was 24, he had not been a professional footballer, but a lance corporal in the British Army. Until he was 27, when he appeared for their under-21 side as an overage player, he had never even set foot in Northern Ireland. Yet, when all was said and done, with assistance from the likes of Ray Clemence, Graeme Souness

PSG have focused on strengthening their French core in recent transfer windows, bringing in players like Bradley Barcola, Desire Doué, and Lucas Chevalier. Now, another French talent could soon be on their radar. TBR Football previously reported that Bayern Munich are keen to secure Michael Olise with a new contract before the season ends, aiming to fend off rising interest from other clubs. The German club are reportedly impressed with Olise's development and are preparing a "huge pay rise" to keep him. Liverpool have monitored the winger for some time, while Chelsea, PSG, and Barcelona are also interested-though none are expected to make a move next summer.

Leicester have made a promising start back in the Championship, although they currently sit outside of the automatic promotion places. Marto Cifuentes' side will be keen to finish inside the top two, and to do this, they may seek to strengthen in January. However, it will not be straightforward to do so, given their PSR restrictions. They did recoup big money from the sales of Mads Hermansen, Kasey McAteer and James Justin among others.

Dallas FC (41 points), Real Salt Lake (40 points) and the Colorado Rapids (40 points) occupy the three spots ahead of San Jose in the standings. If the Quakes win and any of those three teams lose, San Jose will leap that team in the standings after accounting for tiebreakers. They must climb over two of them to earn a spot in that wild-card match.
