Manchester City s Joe Hart faces a tough task to hold onto his starting place in the England national team.
England and Manchester City’s under-fire goalkeeper Joe Hart has been spoken about by his new club manager Pep Guardiola and Stoke City shot-stopper Jack Butland.
After miserable form during the European Championships, Guardiola warned that Hart needs to cut out such errors for City next season, while Butland admits his chances of ousting the 29-year-old are greater following the Euros.
Stiff competition between England’s goalkeepers
It’s been a long time since England could boast such top-level goalkeepers all vying for one spot, and it puts real pressure on Joe Hart to perform. Southampton’s Fraser Forster and Stoke City’s Jack Butland …

TOP STORY HAALAND TO BE UNITED S TRANSFER PRIORITY
Manchester United s priority transfer target in mid-2021 will be Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Haaland despite their recent spending spree, claims ESPN.
Haaland can trigger a release in his Dortmund contract at the end of the 2021-22 season that is reportedly set at €75 million.

Brazil s below-par performance in Russia contributed to Neymar being left off the shortlist for FIFA s Best awards a year ago he was third behind Messi and winner Ronaldo.
Not only did Neymar fail to sparkle on the big stage, having missed Brazil s semi-final humiliation at the hands of Germany on home soil four years ago due to injury, he was roundly criticised for what was widely perceived to be play-acting and over-emotional behaviour throughout the World Cup.
Striking a conciliatory tone in an advertisement for sponsor Gillette, however, Neymar appeared to indicate he is ready to turn over a new leaf.
Boot-stud on the shins. Kick in the spine. Stomp on the foot. said Neymar. You may think I overreact, and sometimes I do. But the truth is I suffer on the pitc…
The Premier League season is over, Euro 2024 is approaching, and now it is time for the FA Cup final to round off the English domestic season.
Manchester City and Manchester United, as they did last season, will face off at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.
City won 3-1 in June 2023, with Ilkay Gundogan s stunning volley after just 12 seconds setting the tone for a dominant performance from Pep Guardiola s side, who were en route to winning a treble.
There s no treble on the cards for City this season, though after clinching an unprecedented fourth straight Premier League title, another double is in their reach.
We play FA Cup [and] we can do back-to-back doubles, we have [a] chance to do this, Guardiola said on Friday. The FA Cup for itself is FA Cup, Wemble…
Manchester City pipped Liverpool to the Premier League title on a day that broke the competition s record for the most goals scored in a 20-team season.
Liverpool s 97-point tally was a club record but not enough to earn the Reds their first title of the Premier League era, with City retaining their crown.
The Reds haul would have been enough to win the Premier League in all but one of the previous 26 seasons, but the Reds at least can look forward to a Champions League final against Tottenham.

Spain captain Iker Casillas insisted the 2010 FIFA World Cup final means nothing as his team prepare to face the Netherlands again.
Vicente del Bosque s side claimed a 1-0 win after extra-time over the Dutch in the decider in South Africa four years ago for their third straight major tournament.
Casillas said that while both games were important, 2010 was history and played no part heading into Friday s Group B encounter in Salvador.
The final and this match are two very different games and have nothing to do with one another, but they re both very important. We beat them in South Africa, he told a news conference.
When you start the World Cup off with a loss, you have to go full throttle to win the remaining games.

Both the Atlanta Falcons and San Francisco 49ers have hopes of making the playoffs and Sunday’s game will go a long way to deciding their respective fates this season. The 49ers have been on a roll recently and are in pursuit of the Cardinals and Rams in the NFC West.
Meanwhile, the Falcons can’t catch the Bucs in the division but a wild-card spot isn’t out of the question. Don’t miss your NFL betting picks and predictions for the Falcons vs. 49ers.

In a rematch of last year’s divisional round thriller, and a meeting of two brutally underwhelming teams, the L.A. Rams make the trip across the country to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9.
L.A. is fresh off its latest beatdown at the hands of the 49ers and looked every bit a desperate team to close last week, with Cooper Kupp & Co. still playing amid an uncompetitive blowout. Tampa, meanwhile, remained lost in the NFL wilderness on TNF a week ago, falling to Baltimore in a fairly sad fashion.
Despite the flailing nature of both teams, the stage is set for this to be a highly compelling game. We’ve got you covered with our best NFL prop picks, and check out our Rams vs. Buccaneers picks and predictions for more.

NFL underdogs barked loudest last week, finishing 10-4-1 ATS against the NFL odds.
Unfortunately, my NFL picks and predictions stumbled upon two of the four pups that came up short against the point spread.
It was a cruel Sunday, like watching your brothers and sisters open awesome Xmas gifts, and when it came to your turn to rip through the wrapping paper, a goddamn desk lamp was waiting for you.
If Week 14 was Christmas morning for underdog bettors, then I dub Week 15 odds as Boxing Day.
