FIFA WORLD CUP | In response to the online criticism and backlash, Bafana Bafana captain Ronwen Williams has urged football fans to unite in the globe, saying, "Let's leave politics to politicians and play football."
I’m not sure ITV are massively advancing the idea of women’s equality in football by having Emma Hayes give her analysis from a set which looks like she’s stuck in a kitchen?
Manchester City are giving genuine consideration to signing Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali, as well as Elliot Anderson of Nottingham Forest.
The Athletic reported on Tuesday that Tottenham have held productive talks with Tonali’s camp and want to make the Italian their major signing this summer, but face serious competition from City, who have continued to track the player.
City’s interest in Tonali, 26, does not affect their plans to sign Anderson and they remain in talks with Nottingham Forest about a potential British record transfer.
Signing both midfielders, for what would likely be a combined cost of over £200million ($268m), comes with City seeking to build a side for Enzo Maresca, Pep Guardiola’s successor, that can challenge for next season’s Premier League title.

It’s why football will slowly die out.
You’ve got Villa and Newcastle absolutely huge clubs and arguably on a par with Spurs, playing in Europe regularly not able to spend, but Spurs can finish x2 17th and spend what they want.
Same with Man United.

🚨🎙️ Ruben Amorim: 🔴
"My time at Manchester United was difficult because from the start I felt the club never fully backed me. They brought me in because of my ideas and philosophy, but when it was time to be patient and support the project, that trust disappeared.
You cannot ask a manager to rebuild a team and then expect miracles in a few months. Every successful project needs time, support, and belief from the people above. Unfortunately, I didn't feel I was given enough of any of those things.
The club wanted immediate results while I was trying to build something for the future. When things became difficult, instead of standing behind the process, they started questioning it.
I accept my mistakes, but I also believe I deserved more time and more backing to show what this team could have become.
But that's all in the past now. I have no bitterness towards Manchester United and I genuinely wish the club the very best going forward. I'm also proud and excited to be back managing one of the biggest clubs in the world.
We will meet again during pre-season, and it will be nice to see familiar faces, reconnect with people at the club, and enjoy a good football occasion. Football moves fast, but the respect will always remain."
