Manchester City has officially started going after last season's Premier League leader in goals and assists, Harry Kane. Even though Tottenham doesn't want to move on from Kane, the 27-year-old has reportedly expressed his wishes to be gone. Man City reportedly sent Spurs an original offer of around $140 million guaranteed with an opportunity to swap players.
Looking at North Macedonia's obscure warmups heading into its match against Ukraine, there is no surprise it later lost. As fun as it looked, with the players racing up the pitch and passing the ball between each other using upturned cones, it didn't seem like the appropriate warmup for the Euro 2020 Group C match on Thursday.
It's the first week back at pickup soccer after nearly a year off. Maybe you got some touches in at the local field or in your backyard, maybe you didn't. But whatever workouts you did (or didn't do) are no substitute for actual game play.
That first pickup session or game after the spring thaw is always painful after the lack of cardio in the winter. You come in expecting pain, but somehow the pain is always worse than you imagined.
The U.S. men's national team defeated Mexico in a highly contested match on Sunday to win the CONCACAF Nations League, marking the country’s first competitive victory over its rivals since September 10th, 2013.
The fruitless streak continued so long that I personally graduated middle school, high school and was just one year away from graduating college before the U.S. was victorious again. Christian Pulisic, the American captain who scored the go-ahead goal, was just 14 years old when the U.S. last claimed victory.
ROME - Inter Milan did not think they would need to replace Antonio Conte this year, but in successor Simone Inzaghi, they hope to have found a natural heir.

MADRID - Zinedine Zidane said on Monday he had stepped down as Real Madrid coach as the club's hierarchy did not have enough faith in him to rebuild an aging squad.
Zidane, who returned to Real for a second spell in charge in March 2019, won two LaLiga titles and three Champions League crowns during his two stints as coach.
Across Europe, there are still games to be played and honors to be won. Besides the Champions League, several leagues are still in the midst of promotion playoffs. But the mayhem of managerial turnover is well underway.
Hirving Lozano no tuvo que esperar mucho tiempo para saber el nombre de su nuevo entrenador en el Napoli. Seis días después de la destitución de Genaro Gattuso, por no lograr la clasificación a la próxima Champions League, el club italiano anunció la llegada de Luciano Spalletti.
El entrenador italiano vuelve al ruedo después de haber vivido los últimos dos años en su granja en la región de Toscana, viendo fútbol y quizás plantando tomates. Vaya a saber uno.
Su último trabajo había sido a cargo del Inter de Milán, donde estuvo entre 2017 y 2019.
After parting ways with manager Gennaro Gattuso following Napoli's failure to secure Champions League qualification, it would appear Aurelio De Laurentiis has got his man.
Todos conocemos, más o menos, la maldición de Aaron Ramsey. En caso que no, un rápido recordatorio: cada vez que hace un gol, muere un famoso. Obviamente es una exageración, pero hay varios ejemplos de coincidencia que a uno lo hacen pensar. Y en esa línea, aquí presentamos una nueva maldición, la maldición de Reinaldo Rueda. ¿En qué consiste? Nación que dirige entra en crisis social.
Casos de exposición: Honduras, Ecuador, Chile y Colombia. Hay hasta un meme dando vueltas.
