Manchester United leading the race to sign struggling Barcelona defender Barcelona’s summer of change shows no sign of slowing down, with another key player now edging towards the exit door. After the departures of Ronald Araujo and Ferran Torres, along with the imminent arrival of Joao Cancelo, Alejandro Balde has emerged as the latest name whose future is in doubt. And it appears Manchester United are currently at the front of the queue for his signature. United leading the race for Balde Balde could be next player to leave Barcelona. (Photo by Angel Martinez/Getty Images) According to MARCA , super-agent Jorge Mendes landed in Barcelona this week armed with a number of offers for both Balde and Marc Casado. Mendes first met with Barcelona’s sporting director before sitting down with the players to lay out their options. While Casado’s exit had been expected for some time, Balde’s situation was far less clear, until the full-back was left out of the squad for the match against Elche....

¡The Chivas Women v Tuzas stat that will blow your mind!

¡The Chivas Women v Tuzas stat that will blow your mind! Whenever Chivas Femenil faces Pachuca, the atmosphere fills with a special feeling. Both sides have built a fierce rivalry throughout the history of the women’s league, to the point of becoming one of the most evenly matched in the division, although the Rebaño has the edge thanks to the two titles it won against the Hidalgo side. Beyond that, there’s one fact that makes a matchup between Guadalajara and the Tuzas even more appealing: never in their history have they played to a scoreless draw. That’s right, Chivahermanos —meetings between these two teams guarantee plenty of goals. In 22 matchups, not a single result has ended goalless, a rather unusual stat in the Women’s League. From the Apertura 2017 Final to the most recent meeting in the CL26 Quarterfinals, every single clash between the rojiblancas and the Hidalgo side has seen at least one goal scored over the 90 minutes. In fact, of the 4 draws in this rivalry, only o...

Robinson & Tongue give Root an ideal start to England's new era

-

First Rothesay Test, Headingley (day one of five) Pakistan 171 all out: Shafique 61; Tongue 5-46, Robinson 5-51 England 112-2: Root 37*, Gay 33; Abbas 1-34 England are 59 runs behind Scorecard Ollie Robinson and Josh Tongue each took five wickets to give Joe Root the ideal start to his second spell as England captain as Pakistan were skittled for 171 on the opening day of the series at Headingley. Returning four years after his first stint as skipper left him and his team broken, Root's leadership was barely tested thanks to the excellence of his bowlers and fragility of the Pakistan batting. Root won the toss, pounced on the opportunity to bowl first and Robinson set the tone by pinning Azan Awais leg before with the first ball of the match. Robinson expertly exploited the movement on offer, relentlessly hitting a full length for his 5-51. Tongue took longer to warm to his task but when he also found the correct length, he was also too much for Pakistan to handle. Tongue's 5-4...

ESPN’s tribute to founder Bill Rasmussen abruptly cut off by ‘Pat McAfee Show’ intro

-
Image
Credit: ESPN “I know writers who use subtext, and they’re all cowards, every one of them,” is an infamously memed quote from fictional horror author Garth Marenghi. Perhaps Marenghi is moonlighting as the guy who hits the button at ESPN to transition from one show feed to the next, because you couldn’t possibly have created a more apt metaphor if you tried during the shift from First Take to The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday. Bill Rasmussen, the entrepreneur who conceived the 24-hour cable sports network ESPN, died on Tuesday at age 93 . It’s not hyperbole to say that he had an enormous role in changing the way America consumes sports, and the network he and his son concocted while stuck in traffic traveling to the Jersey Shore is now not only a global brand but is on the precipice of airing its first Super Bowl, something wholly unthinkable when it started in 1979. Naturally, ESPN paid tribute to its founder on Tuesday , with statements from executives such as chairman Jimmy Pitaro an...

In less than two weeks, the North Carolina Tar Heels play football, facing TCU in a rematch of the 2025 season-opener for both teams . UNC will battle the Horned Frogs on Saturday, August 29 at 12 p.m. in Dublin, Ireland for the Aer Lingus College Football Classic. North Carolina enters its 2026 opener with another new-look roster, one head coach Bill Belichick is more confident in , while TCU returns its top rusher and a few defensive standouts. One particular expected Tar Heel starter, sophomore running back Demon June , is extremely confident ahead of the fall. The reasoning behind his confidence? New offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino . “My confidence is through the roof,” June said on Friday via On3 Sports' Jack Morris . "We’re gonna run at you,” June explained. “We’re not gonna go side to side, and we’re not trying to be fancy with it. Just get downhill and play tough. Knowing the areas I needed to improve in going into the offseason, helped me add fuel to the fire jus...
