England won´t get a better chance than Euro 2020 final, fears Waddle

Chris Waddle believes England will not get a better chance to win a major tournament following their Euro 2020 final defeat to Italy.

The Three Lions suffered penalty shoot-out heartbreak on Sunday as the Azzurri prevailed 3-2 on spot-kicks at Wembley.

It was an agonising defeat for Gareth Southgate, who had guided England to their first major final in 55 years – and first at the European Championship.

Southgate s side conceded just a single goaleon route to the showpiece, becoming the first nation to begin a Euros campaign with five successive clean sheets along the way.

However, a first trophy since the 1966 World Cup narrowly eluded the Three Lions after Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Buyako Saka all missed from 12 yards out.

Gareth Barry scored the only goal as Manchester City defeated Reading 1-0 at the Etihad Stadium

Manchester City defeated Reading 1-0 yesterday with a late goal to move within three points of arch-rivals Manchester United at the top of the Premier League table.

The champions were frustrated for long periods by a disciplined display by the Royals defence.

Reading could even have had the lead in the second half, as the visitors had a very good penalty appeal turned down. Jay Tabb appeared to be brought down young Dutch defender Karim Rekik in the penalty box.

Manchester City pressed the Royals defence and finally got their reward in injury-time.

David Silva’s cross was headed home by England international Gareth Barry. The goal could prove vital i…

NFL Underdogs: NFL Odds, Picks, and Predictions Week 6

Week 6 of the NFL season mixes in byes for the first time, which is nice for those teams getting a break but slim pickings for a guy whose column is about solely selecting underdogs for his NFL picks and predictions. 

From Week 1 to Week 5, I’ve had 16 available options for my weekly NFL Underdogs entry. But with four teams off the clock this Sunday, we go from dinner to lunch buffet, as I’m left with 14 potential pup picks in Week 6. 

Underdogs are thriving so far in 2022, barking to the tune of a 45-30-3 ATS mark entering this week (59.6%). That early-season edge for underdogs has become routine the past few years, with dogs covering at a 56.3% clip between Week 1 and Week 6 since 2015. That cover rate jumps to 57.2% going back to 2019.…

Chiefs vs Jets SNF Prop Bets: Mahomes Shines Under the Prime-Time Lights

Tonight’s actual game might not be the biggest draw with the way the New York Jets have been struggling without Aaron Rodgers, but NBC’s broadcast should receive a shot in the arm from all the “Swifties” tuning in to see Taylor Swift as she watches Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end Travis Kelce headline the Week 4 odds.

Jets head coach Robert Saleh should know by now that Zach Wilson was trouble when he walked into the starting lineup after Rodgers went down, and with rumors that his belief in the bust is causing bad blood in the locker room, Patrick Mahomes and Kelce are going to be shaking off defenders all night.

Find out where our best NFL picks lie as we examine the SNF odds and dive into the props market. Also, make sure to check o…

‘I am not a guy who runs away’: Xhaka proud of restoring Arsenal reputation

Granit Xhaka feared he had played his last game for Arsenal after falling out with the club’s fans in October and being stripped of the club captaincy, but feels proud of the resolve he has shown in restoring his reputation since then.

The path back for Xhaka seemed narrow when, during the 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace on 27 October, he gestured towards the Emirates Stadium support and swore after his substitution was cheered. He explained afterwards that he had reached “boiling point” after receiving threats online, and was minded to leave the club in January before Mikel Arteta talked him round.
