We are profoundly saddened by the loss of Kevin Keegan. A giant of English football, he was a cherished figure at the very highest levels of the game.
Our condolences go to Kevin’s family, loved ones and all those he inspired as a manager, player and person, on and off the pitch.
Rest in peace, Kevin ❤️
🚨🎙️ Micah Richards on Manchester United’s pre-season friendly against Wrexham:
🗣️ “One thing that has always surprised me about Manchester United…
How is a pre-season friendly against Wrexham getting more attention than a World Cup third-place playoff between England and France? 😂
We’re talking about the World Cup…
And people are still more interested in a pre-season friendly.
It just shows the level of attention Manchester United generates, whether they’re winning trophies or not.
Love them or hate them, they always dominate the headlines.” 😭
🚨Alf-Inge Haaland on Norway’s elimination from the FIFA World Cup by England:
🗣️ Reporter: “Alf-Inge, what’s your reaction after Norway’s 2–1 extra-time defeat to England?”
🗣️ Alf-Inge Haaland:
“Today, the referee won. That’s how I feel. I don’t usually like talking about officials after a match, but when so many key moments go against one team, it’s impossible to ignore.
We saw Torbjørn Heggem’s goal disallowed, we saw controversial decisions throughout the game, and every big call seemed to go England’s way. At this level, those moments change matches.
I’m incredibly proud of Norway because they never stopped fighting. They played with courage, discipline and belief against one of the strongest teams in the tournament. They didn’t come here to defend for 120 minutes—they came here to compete, and they did exactly that.
England are a very good side, and I congratulate them on qualifying. But I can’t help feeling that football should have been the main story tonight, not the officiating.
The players gave everything for their country. They represented Norway with pride, and no one can question their commitment. When the emotions settle, I hope people remember the performance more than the result.
Sometimes you’re beaten by a better team. Tonight, I leave feeling that the biggest influence on the match wasn’t just the football. That’s the most disappointing part for everyone connected with Norway.”
Absurd decision to overrule Norway’s second goal for Haaland pushing back on Anderson ahead of a goal where the England midfielder would have had no impact on the eventual finish.
Once again FIFA VAR favours the bigger nation.

What a plain robbery!
Haaland pushed a player that had put hands on him!
Ref Turpin is one of biggest trick the power is applying on football, understand nothing of football and is there to protect status quo!
Norway fully robbed and England making weight their politics!
