Klara Bühl on how she approaches contract situations in general via @SPORT1 "If you know your contract is expiring or there's an option to transfer, then you start thinking about it about six months beforehand.

ℹ️ We can confirm that midfielder Erin Cuthbert has been assessed following the injury sustained in last night's match.
Erin has suffered a knee injury that will rule her out of Tuesday night's qualifier and will return to club for further assessment and a short period of rehabilitation.
Recover well, Ez 💪
🏥 Scotland confirms that Erin Cuthbert has returned to Chelsea for further assessment and a short period of rehabilitation after sustaining a knee injury against Israel yesterday.
🚨 Pep Guardiola: “What is Barça missing to win the Champions League? The Champions League is a competition that DESTROYS projects, and I hope that’s not the case at Barça”.
“We must not think that just because you don’t win it, everything that has been built is no good. The league is the competition that gives you consistency and continuity. In the Champions League, you need to reach the decisive stages in good condition, without injuries, and refereeing also has a huge impact”.
“What matters is that the daily work is excellent, that the team keeps growing and improving, and that they don’t believe the season is a failure just because they don’t reach the Champions League final or win it. The league is what sets the foundation for judging whether a season has been good or not”.
John Terry and Roman Abramovich have got some serious pull 😳
🗣️ "We went to Russia. Took us ages to land. We were circling around the airport, but we couldn't land.
It was the Russians, so John Terry actually phoned Abramovich from the plane and said, 'Roman, we can't land. For some reason, we are not landing, and we are going round and round in circles.'
Five minutes later, all of a sudden, we landed. I thought, 'That's influence for you.'"

I believe Ireland won fair and square yesterday but its worth questioning if FIFA’s new rule of sidelining a player after the penalty decision actually does make any sense.
Groenen taken down. Netherlands get penalty. Groenen has to leave the pitch. Netherlands score from penalty. Groenen still not on. Ireland counter. Netherlands don’t have tactics in place with 10 players. Ireland score.
This is one of those that’s going to piss so many more teams off moving forward.
Two years ago, Cole Palmer won this award after scoring 22 goals (including two hat-tricks) and making 11 assists in 34 appearances in the Premier League.
Turns out all he had to do was just play 150 minutes of football all season long to get a nomination.
If Ireland WNT can’t celebrate after beating Netherlands who’s ranked 10th then when can they? It’s a big moment for the team beating a team in the top 10, getting chance to automatically qualify is massive. I guess the men shouldn’t have celebrated beating Hungary for a playoff
It’s funny coz dropping Aggie from the squad then putting hemp as a false 9 and moving Russo to the 10….. didn’t work did it. The treatment of Aggie is questionable now because what else can she do? If she’s not even selected but 2 goalies make the bench?
Pier Morgans 🗣️" The idea that Chelsea, after spending over £1 billion, are trying to take the moral high ground over us is equally absurd"
The way Olivia responded to him actually put him back in his place 😭💀💀
