Howe leaving Newcastle feels like Moyes leaving West Ham and Pochettino leaving Tottenham
I love how extremely impossible to explain that last kilometre of the last stage of the Tour de France would be to someone who'd never watched road cycling before ...
Incredible day at the Tour. Relentless drama and terror
Aah what a legend. I missed his playing career, but no one made football more fun in the 90s www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...
Kevin Keegan obituary: Gifted, charismatic and passionate in career of highs and lows
The positivity and vibrancy Kevin Keegan brought made him a cherished figure within the game, writes chief football writer Phil McNulty.

Everyone joked about Spain doing what England did when they scored, as if that would be absurd, and now Spain are, somewhat, doing what England did when they scored ...
Just went to the cricinfo page of Garfield Sobers, the all-time cricket great the statistical details of whose mighty deeds I spent my childhood drinking in, and I’d never noticed his ODI batting average before. Lovely little oddity
I'd been wondering why Euro 2012 draws a unique almost-complete blank in my memory of watching England in tournaments, and remembered this disgrace www.skysports.com/football/new... and realised that Kane playing golf with Trump isn't quite the most disgusted i've been with England leadership
Roy Hodgson: I couldn't pick Rio Ferdinand and John Terry at Euro 2012 due to 'furore' surrounding racism case
John Terry was accused of using racist language towards Anton Ferdinand during QPR vs Chelsea Premier League match in October 2011; FA denies favouring Terry during case; Roy Hodgson has revealed he h...

I know he absolutely did mess up, and deserves the criticism he's getting, but it would be hilarious if Tuchel's job was genuinely in jeopardy now. 10 minutes from a World Cup final? Disaster! How dare you ruin the triumphant reputation of English football ... www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...
World Cup 2026: Thomas Tuchel did not deliver for England, but his time is not up - Alan Shearer
Former England captain Alan Shearer says Three Lions boss Thomas Tuchel will not be fazed by criticism he has faced over the World Cup semi-final defeat.

I’ve been Kane’s biggest supporter for years, but there was a moment shortly after England scored when the ball didn’t stick to his foot when he could have been through on goal, and that really is him in the absolutely biggest games, unfortunately. Does everything but seize the final moment
Seen it so many times before. Tuchel was hired expressly not to do that. And he did it worse than anyone has ever done it
Rooney’s punditry journey is the exact opposite of his playing journey. Better and better, sharper and sharper
I see it's Lautaro falling foul of FIFA's controversial new "only two Martinez per starting XI in a World Cup semi-final" rule
I do miss the Tour de France being exciting. Pogacar is a very likeable sportsperson, but that almost makes his dominance harder to take ...
Putting everything else aside, that header from Maignan may be the best thing I’ve ever seen on a football pitch
Torn between wanting France to win and wanting to write “Tchouameni’s broken heart at the Worlds, it’s Tchouameni’s dreams have been broken in two”
Not at all surprised that it’s looking like three members of Tottenham Hotspur’s much-admired 2025-26 defensive line are likely to be featuring in these World Cup semi-finals. Boy, those guys can defend, I’ve been saying all season
The ultimate reaffirmation of Agnewism as the defining force in English cricket www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke...
Brendon McCullum sacked as England Test head coach but will retain white-ball role
England are now without a Test head coach and captain as Brendon McCullum leaves after four years in the role.

The obvious answer to how England win this semi-final is to put Saka, Rice and Eze in the vicinity of Romero in the first few minutes and let him get himself sent off
Kane having one of those useless ball-won’t-stick games like Rooney used to have in World Cups
Rules of football so stupid now. Oh yeah, retake the corner, of course. Cool cool
The tactic of “pass-pass-pass till we open up that bit of space for that clinical wizard Noni Madueke to do his magic” already feels a bit questionable
Feels quite cursed this. Don't think there's an excuse for not understanding you'd be better off not doing it and finding a way not to www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...
