Milan use Chukwueze in new role, similar to Amad Diallo at Manchester United Milan had their first training session under new coach Ruben Amorim today and there were already some surprises, including Samuel Chukwueze following in Amad Diallo’s Manchester United footsteps. The Rossoneri began their pre-season training today at the Milanello ground, complete with RedBird patron Gerry Cardinale flying in and out by helicopter. Fans were present to watch the game between ranks and get their first idea of how they will play under Amorim. Chukwueze given new role by Amorim Ruben Amorim smiles at his first Milan press conference (acmilan.com) It was already known that a 3-4-2-1 formation was likely, but the big surprise was seeing striker Chukwueze instead used wide right of the four-man midfield. This is not entirely out of character for the coach, who had after all used Amad Diallo there for Manchester United during his ill-fated experience at Old Trafford. Samuel Chukwueze of Fulham cel...

Panthers get the respect they deserve from former NFL LB

Image
To be the man, you've gotta beat the man. And until they're beaten, the Carolina Panthers are the man of the NFC South. Friday's episode of Good Morning Football ventured into the outlook of the division here in 2026. Among those who laid out their forecasts at the table—which included NFL Network insider Mike Garafolo and WWE superstar Seth Rollins—was former linebacker Manti Te'o, who took up for the reigning champs . . . As Te'o notes, continuity could be the key for Carolina. Quarterback Bryce Young is coming off career-highs in passing yards (3,011), passing touchdowns (23) and completion rate (63.6 percent) in 2025. Not only does he now have a full year of offense under head coach Dave Canales and coordinator Brad Idzik under his belt, but Young will also be equipped with—perhaps—the best supporting cast of his pro career. Speaking of equipped, the Panthers brought in who many considered to be the top two defensive free agents of the offseason in pass rushe...

Unreal defense, key offensive contributions in DC have GSV sitting pretty

(Photo by Kenny Giarla) | NBAE via Getty Images WASHINGTON — When I wrote about my love of the Golden State Valkyries on June 24, they were coming off two-straight losses, and their next four games were against either the Atlanta Dream (then 12-4) or New York Liberty (then 12-6). I said: It will be tough for them to remain in the contender conversation in the short term, but it’s a long season. Well, the Valkyries went ahead and won all four of those games to prove me wrong. Then, they added a fifth-straight win Monday night to put them just a half a game out of first place. And as @ceciznd said, 2 ✌️s make a DUB pic.twitter.com/8lLHuIGIfy — Golden State Valkyries (@valkyries) July 7, 2026 Two of the best defenses in the WNBA squared off Monday night at CareFirst Arena. Golden State’s was better, conceding a season-low-for-any-team 49 points to the Washington Mystics, while their offense managed 62 points. It was the fewest points allowed since the Dream held the Chi...
