Virgil van Dijk will take time to consider his future at club and international level after the Netherlands suffered Euro 2024 heartbreak against England.
Ollie Watkins came off the bench to score a last-minute winner as the Three Lions came from behind to stun Ronald Koeman s team with a 2-1 victory in Dortmund.
The Netherlands have now been eliminated from seven World Cup or European Championship semi-finals, with only Germany (eight) losing more.
After the defeat, Oranje captain Van Dijk – who turned 33 earlier this week – was asked whether he planned to continue representing his country.
The centre-back, who has also been linked with a Liverpool exit as he enters the final year of his contract, was giving nothing away regarding his future.
Dropping what could be a pair of costly points on Saturday afternoon as they had to settle for a away at Nottingham Forest, Manchester City also sacrificed their spot at the top of the Premier League table.
While the defending champions might have laid down a real marker away at the Emirates last weekend as they claimed a thumping 3-1 romp against Arsenal, Pep Guardiola s side are seeking some stability.
Likewise, along with facing what is a heavyweight title scrap in 2023, the Sky Blues are also dealing with some rather public issues behind the scenes in Manchester.
Charged with breaking the Premier League s around 100 times over a nine-year period, there remains a real cloud of uncertainty over the Etihad.
Although City might have made quite the stat…
Leicester s Algerian winger Riyad Mahrez has asked the to leave the Foxes
Algerian winger Riyad Mahrez lit up the Premier League in season 2015/16 helping Leicester City to an extraordinary title victory.
However, just like his team, Mahrez’s performances went downhill in the next season.
The 26-year-old struggled to get anywhere near the form that won him the Player of the Year award in the previous campaign, scoring just six goals and producing three assists in the Premier League.
Following a disappointing campaign, Mahrez has now asked to leave the Foxes this summer. The club have stated he will only be sold for ‘a substantial fee’.
The question is will he ever recapture the sensational form of his one golden season in English football?<…
Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor was fined £25,000 and handed a suspended two-match ban by the Football Association for his celebration against former club Arsenal on this day in 2009.
Adebayor was punished after he ran the full length of the pitch to celebrate in front of visiting Gunners supporters after he scored in the 80th minute of a Premier League match.
The then 25-year-old had already served a three-match suspension for violent conduct in a separate incident during the 4-2 victory at Eastlands on September 12.

Adebayor’s acceptance of his behaviour was…

The Cincinnati Bengals will look to finally get in the win column on Sunday as they visit the New York Jets for a Week 3 matchup.
The Bengals may be the defending AFC champions, but they’ve started the 2022 season with two tight losses. The Jets got their first win last week when Joe Flacco led a miraculous comeback in the final two minutes to beat the Cleveland Browns.
If the Jets want to keep Cincinnati winless on the year, it will take another big performance from Flacco. We’ll take a look at whether he can keep up his hot start in our best NFL picks and predictions for Bengals vs Jets on September 25.

Not every player can get well and beyond their NFL odds prop total but for those who might be mispriced, have a better matchup than expected, or can just pile up stats in garbage time, betting milestones and alt-Overs can be profitable even with a low win percentage.
I’ll be using bet365 for most odds as they have become the best book for offering alt-Overs and have milestone markets for seemingly every prop. They also give you the green checkmark as soon as the number is hit and bettors are able to cash out immediately (if that option is still available to you), which also helps.
For Week 3’s best milestone NFL prop picks, I’m doubling up on the Jets’ backfield, expecting big things from the Steelers’ offense, and hitting a modest 25-plus ya…
The Atlanta Falcons might be 5-6 SU, but they’re still sitting on top of the NFC South heading into their Week 13 matchup with the New York Jets who will have Tim Boyle under center as a 2-point home dog on the NFL odds board.
Coming off a zero-target game and seemingly being phased out of an offense that is abandoning the pass, is it time to fade Jonnu Smith and the secondary pass-catchers for the Falcons?
I break down the Week 13 NFL odds and offer my free NFL picks and predictions for Falcons vs. Jets on December 3.

The 2024 NFL season doesn’t officially start until September. But for bookies and bettors, the NFL season starts the second the new schedule releases.
And with the 2024 NFL schedule coming out on Thursday night, sportsbooks are busy building out their power ratings and setting NFL odds on the season openers as well as every single matchup from Week 1 to Week 18.

The Offensive Player of the Year race has rarely been more tightly bunched. The NFL is now in a passing boom, with wide receivers challenging the dominance running backs have had with this award.
Last season, it was a back-and-forth competition between eventual winner Christian McCaffrey and Tyreek Hill, as both dominated at the position for their respective teams.
Following an eventful Week 6, Derrick Henry spearheads the latest NFL odds, with Saquon Barkley and Justin Jefferson close behind.
