      Saudi Arabia’s 2034 World Cup bid facing 11th-hour rival with FOUR nations join forces to avoid another winter tourney

      SAUDI ARABIA’s smooth procession to being awarded the 2034 World Cup could be hit by an Australian-led roadblock.Fifa chief Gianni Infantino loaded the contest in the Saudis’ favour by giving an October 31 deadline for bids — with government sign-off.

      Gudasic has accused the ECA of being undemocratic and blamed it for the failed Super League project.
      He said in Brussels: “ECA claims to be for all but won’t allow all clubs to join or vote.
      “ECA was born out of the G-14 clubs that tried to break European football 25 years ago, the same clubs that parented the Super League. Super League is in ECA’s DNA and it is now trying to hijack the Champions League from Uefa.”
      The UEC, now 120-strong, aims to speak for the 1,400 medium to small clubs in Europe, many of whom are part of the 450-plus clubs aligned to the ECA.

      “From what we are picking up among Scottish clubs, they are not making up any traction.”
      Crystal Palace chairman Steve ­Parish, coincidentally, has launched an assault on Uefa.
      The Eagles chief said: “I’ve looked at Uefa’s mission statement.
      “I can’t find anywhere that it says the mission is to grow the biggest and best football tournament across Europe, garner the most media money and give it to as few clubs as possible.”
      Parish also fears next season’s expansion of the Champions League will be the thin end of a wedge that will eventually force the Premier League to be cut from its current 20 clubs to 18.
      He added: “This will affect every league with 20 clubs.
      “This is the moat we’ve tried to protect.
      “It feels like there’s an intent from Fifa and Uefa to create more competitions that reduce that and we have been disenfranchised from the debate.”

      After Harry Kane’s £100million move to Bayern it’s natural that the England captain grabs the bulk of game time and media attention in Munich.
      But in Mathys Tel, he has a more than capable back-up and eventual successor waiting in the wings.
      Tel has made 11 appearances this season and despite starting just two of these, has racked up six goals and one assist in his 310 minutes of football.

      Guler had Barcelona and Real Madrid fighting to sign him this summer – with Madrid eventually winning out with a presentation to his family outlining how he would be a jewel in the team’s crown for years to come alongside Jude Bellingham.
      The wonderkid was then unveiled as a Madrid player by Florentino Perez in a lavish ceremony that saw him wipe away his mother’s tears of pride at her son’s move.

      Lamine Yamal, 16, Spain
      Yes you read that right, Lamine Yamal is just 16 years old – and yet, he’s already a first-team regular for Barcelona and the national side.
      Yamal holds the record bot for the youngest player ever to score in LaLiga (16 years, 87 days) and the youngest ever player to both play and score for Spain (16 years, 57 days).
      Such is his increasingly vital role in the national team, he was seen limping through Barcelona airport to join up with Spain despite visibly carrying an injury.

      After his starring role at Leipzig in the Champions League last week Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola described Lewis as “one of the best I’ve trained, by far.”
      Lewis broke into the City team last season as a full-back but Pep has now pushed him into midfield after being impressed by his performances in training.
      Lewis has only played twice for England’s under-21 side but it feels like a matter of time before he breaks into Gareth Southgate’s side.

      The Paris born-and-bred lad has already made himself a fan favourite by leading the Paris ultras with chants after victories.
      Zaire-Emery has made 10 appearances this season, starting in 88 per cent of those matches.

      Kobbie Mainoo, 18, England
      United’s deal for Sofyan Amrabat was held up by the impressive performances of Kobbie Mainoo in pre-season.
      The midfielder was having another great game in a friendly with Real Madrid before damaging his ankle ligaments and subsequently missing the start of the 2023-24 season.
      But the Old Trafford faithful are eagerly anticipating the return of a player they believe could play a key first-team role by the end of the season with Mainoo now on the cusp of a return.

      But despite scoring seven and assisting four times in 26 Bundesliga appearances last season he now finds himself down the pecking order at Dortmund.
      Chelsea, Real Madrid, Liverpool and RB Leipzig all showed interest in the forward last season but a loan to FC Koln or Werder Bremen this year looks more likely as he looks for first team minutes.

      And she was up in the North East to witness Newcastle demolish Paris Saint-Germain 4-1 on Wednesday.

      However, another huge favourite was also in attendance working as a pundit on the clash.
      French icon David Ginola, 56, left PSG for Newcastle back in 1995 and became an instant favourite with the Geordie faithful under Kevin Keegan.

      And it appears that Woods is one of the many that still have a soft spot for the wing wizard.

      Ginola suffered a huge health scare back in 2016 when he played – and even scored – in a charity match in Mandelieu on the south coast of France.
      But his celebrations suddenly turned to horror when he ­collapsed and “died” for eight minutes after his heart stopped.
      The star’s friend, fellow footballer Frederic Mendy, valiantly performed CPR, keeping the blood pumping to Ginola’s brain until medics arrived with a defibrillator that sent a series of ­electric shocks through his body, helping his heart restart.
      He made a stunning recovery and went on to star in hit ITV show I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here in 2021 as he finished fourth.

      Beckham’s side – which is co-owned by Jorge and Jose Mas – made its MLS debut in 2020, but failed to hit the ground running.
      Several high-profile players signed for the Herons, including Blaise Matuidi and Gonzalo Higuain, but they struggled to challenge for any silverware.
      That was until Lionel Messi arrived.
      The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner joined Inter Miami in a free transfer from PSG in June and has already scored 11 goals and provided five assists in 12 appearances.

      Man Utd’s Onana will never be consistent, he’s either brilliant or disastrous – but keepers always get it in the neck

      by

      IS there any sense in the modern obsession with goalkeepers using their feet so much?Since Andre Onana and David Raya made serious blunders on Tuesday — leading to Champions League defeats for Manchester United and Arsenal — many have been asking that question.
      The mistakes of Onana and Raya have put goalkeepers using their feet in the spotlightCredit: Rex
      David Raya also made a high-profile mistake against OlympiacosCredit: Rex
      Onana’s poor pass led to Casemiro being sent off and United conceding a penalty on their way to a home reverse against Galatasaray.
      And after Raya came out of his area to play a stray pass which led to a Lens equaliser, Arsenal slid to their first loss of the season.
      So why did Erik ten Hag get rid of a world-class shot-stopper in David de Gea and sign Onana?
      And why has Mikel Arteta signed Raya and benched Aaron Ramsdale, who was excellent last season?
      READ MROE FOOTBALL
      Well, football has changed so rapidly many people are struggling to keep up.
      The best example I can give is my old Watford team-mate Heurelho Gomes.
      He was the best shot-stopper I ever played with — good enough to play 11 times for Brazil and be No 1 at Tottenham.
      Yet while he could accurately throw a ball to the halfway line, when Heurelho tried to use his feet it was as though he was wearing Aladdin’s slippers — he was hopeless.

      This isn’t a dig at a great bloke and a great player — but keepers like Gomes are pretty much obsolete.
      He wouldn’t be an elite-level keeper now. They have to be decent with their feet.
      Top keepers are almost always regarded as extra defenders who must be able to play.
      Nick Pope of Newcastle is a rare exception among first-choice Premier League goalkeepers.
      When most top clubs look for a keeper, their shot-stopping ability is the third or fourth most important thing.
      Playing out from the back allows a team to keep possession better, to get into the opposition’s half so their forwards can play.
      When it comes to goalkeepers, let me point out they are weirdos — complete eccentrics.
      The goalkeepers’ union all know one another and when they talk between themselves about the game they seem to speak a different language to the rest of us.
      Goalkeepers are crazed and obsessiveCredit: —
      They’re crazed and obsessive, if the other keeper at their club bench presses 100 kilos, they will make sure they do 120 kilos.
      Keepers and strikers who are team-mates have love-hate relationships. Every day at training we are trying to stop each other doing our jobs.
      Take my friend Ben Foster, another former Watford team-mate.
      During shooting drills, if you kept scoring, he would moan that they were unrealistic. Not so much if he was getting the better of you.
      I feel for keepers, though, because 99 per cent of their mistakes lead to goals and the level of scrutiny they face at a top Premier League club is massive.
      Even for Onana, moving from Inter Milan to United, the spotlight is harsher — it’s global. And the game in England is so much faster than in Italy.
      I understand why Ten Hag signed him but Onana is coming into a side still searching for an identity — leaking goals and losing games.
      That’s not all down to him but, as the keeper, he will get it in the neck more than his team-mates.
      Onana doesn’t strike me as a keeper who will ever be truly consistent. He will be either brilliant or disastrous.
      Arteta signed Raya because he is better with his feet than Ramsdale.
      It was harsh on Ramsdale but the Arsenal boss is looking for those extra one per cents that might help his team edge ahead of Manchester City.
      Unlike Onana, Raya is coming into a settled side, so he has a better chance.
      Arteta recently spoke about the idea of substituting one keeper for another for tactical reasons — not because the starting keeper was having a nightmare.
      It was interesting but I don’t think it’s ever likely to happen.
      You just aren’t going to sub a keeper in a tight match when he hasn’t made a serious error.
      Substitute keepers are not as mentally prepared as on-field subs, they don’t expect to get on, so that idea doesn’t make sense to me.

      Man Utd forced to apologise for ‘unacceptable’ situation following embarrassing Champions League loss to Galatasaray

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have been forced to apologise for the “unacceptable” situation that saw thousands of Galatasaray fans get seats in the United home end.The Gala supporters were able to enjoy their 3-2 victory at Old Trafford on Tuesday night from the hospitality section as well as regular seats around The Theatre of Dreams.
      United have apologised after pockets of Galtasaray fans were able to take over Old TraffordCredit: Rex
      The club are currently investigating how Galatasaray fans were able to get home tickets so easily and published their initial findings today.
      Some United fans have claimed that they were assaulted and abused in their home end and Chief Operating Officer Colette Roche apologised to them in her statement.

      Roche said bots were to blame for tickets being snapped up, and that they were then redistributed by online touts.
      The bots deceived the club into believing they had in fact been purchased by official members, many of whom were under the age of 16, United added.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      “As such, our system showed that these tickets were predominantly sold to long-standing official members who have attended other matches in recent seasons, with a large percentage being to those under the age 16, and therefore did not appear in pre-match checks to pose any risk,” Said Roche.
      “In reality, those who turned up on the night were adult Galatasaray fans.”
      Roche also conceded that the club’s policy, that you do not have to be an official member to buy tickets in the hospitality section, added to the problem.
      She said: “‘Whilst this hasn’t presented issues in the last couple of decades, the volume of tickets accessed by non-Turkish residents who transpired to be Galatasaray fans was unacceptable.”

      United claim stewards were able to remove some Galatasaray fans from the home end but the sheer number of fans in some pockets of the ground made it impossible to tackle them all.
      United will now restrict access to tickets for their upcoming cup games against Newcastle, Copenhagen and Bayern Munich to “People already in our database.”
      Roche’s statement finished by saying: “I hope the above update gives you some reassurance that we take this matter seriously and are working with our fan representatives to avoid a potential repeat.
      “I apologise to those affected and thank you as always for your continued support.” More

      Man Utd & Chelsea striker Falcao in burglary gang raid as he has family dinner… days after Ramos’ mansion ransacked

      by

      FORMER Manchester United and Chelsea striker Radamel Falcao has become the latest footballer to become the victim of a burglary gang.Last night it emerged that Colombian striker Falcao’s house in an upmarket suburb of Madrid had been targeted by criminals.

      Falcao had scored a last-gasp penalty earlier in the day to secure his current side Rayo Vallecano a valuable point at home against LaLiga rivals Mallorca.
      As the footy legend enjoyed dinner nearby his home, intruders are said to have taken designer bags, watches and some jewellery before being surprised by an employee and fleeing the scene.
      Spanish police have begun an investigation to try to identify and catch those responsible.
      Last week, it was announced that former Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos’ home was raided while his four children were inside and he was away on Champions League duty with Sevilla.

      A gang of robbers had broken into the property while the 37-year-old was enjoying dinner with his wife at a nearby restaurant on Saturday night, El Mundo reports.
      They terrified Ramos’ kids, aged between three and eight, and the two nannies looking after them, but left them unharmed during the burglary on September 20.
      He shares the home near Seville with his model and TV presenter wife Pilar Rubio.
      The star couple celebrated their wedding at the country property in June 2019 after a religious ceremony at Seville Cathedral.

      Reports in Spain said the burglars only targeted their bedroom after accessing it via the roof and took watches, jewellery, designer clothes and shoes worth more than £300,000.
      They also stole five Louis Vuitton bags and four suitcases of the same brand valued at nearly £40,000 – though no one has been arrested in relation to the crime.
      Falcao initially struggled at Manchester United during 2014 before transferring to Chelsea and then finding his footing at Monaco.
      He signed for Rayo Vallecano in September 2021 after two injury-plagued years at Galatasaray.
      Other LaLiga players who have suffered break-ins at their homes include Real Madrid striker Rodrygo and former Barcelona stars Jordi Alba and Gerard Pique.
      In June 2019 former Chelsea frontman Alvaro Morata’s wife Alice Campello was confronted by armed intruders while she was alone at their home north of Madrid with a nanny and twins Alessandro and Leonardo.
      The Italian beauty admitted afterwards she would be “afraid for a long time to come.”
      She said in a social media message: “I think this is one of those things that are not easily forgotten, one of those things that makes you realize how much love and life is worth.

      “Knowing that you have your children at home and thinking they can touch them or do something to them is really an inexplicable emotion.
