      Why do Jude Bellingham and Kyle Walker cut holes in their socks when playing?

      by

      FOOTBALLERS often alter their kit to gain an advantage during a match and to protect themselves from injury.One trend fans have noticed in recent years is their favourite stars with multiple holes in their socks – but what is the reason behind this?Kyle Walker is believed to have started the trend in 2018Credit: Richard PelhamJude Bellingham has been seen with holes cut in his socks during Euro 2024Credit: AFPWhy do footballers cut holes in their socks?Eagle-eyed fans have noticed many footballers in the top leagues and international tournaments have holes in their socks – and it’s not a fashion statement.The real reason behind the kit alteration is for players to avoid calf injuries during a match.The holes allow the tension in their legs to be released, which helps to prevent them from picking up muscle problems or cramps.Footballers always wear brand new socks, which can prove to be restrictive, causing difficulties with effective blood flow and circulation.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLEngland full-back Kyle Walker was the first star spotted with holes in his socks during Manchester City’s 2018 Champions League defeat to Liverpool.Since then, many other global football stars, such as Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka, have jumped on the trend.Did Jude Bellingham break La Liga rules by cutting holes in his socks?The England superstar enjoyed an incredible first season in Spain and has helped the Three Lions progress at Euro 2024.For a number of years, Bellingham has followed the trend of many other footballing talents by cutting holes in the back of his socks.Most read in FootballHe cuts the gap at the back of his thigh, similar to how five-time Champions League winner Bale did while at Real Madrid.But now Spanish publication AS states that is actually not technically allowed in LaLiga.  Players are not supposed to play with ripped socks, shorts or shirts.However, chiefs “turn a blind eye” as they are “aware of the medical chaos” implementing the rule and forcing players to wear a full sock.What did Kyle Walker say about cutting holes in his socks?Speaking in 2021, the England full-back said: “The socks were actually too tight so it was causing pressure on my calves. [It was] just to release my calves – or release the tension.”I just cut holes in them and all of a sudden I had a few alright games, and I was like, ‘Ok, I’m keeping this now!'”West Ham defender Vladimir Coufal cuts many holes in his socksCredit: Richard Pelham More

      NETHERLANDS defender Denzel Dumfries denied Phil Foden a wonder goal during tonight’s Euro 2024 semi-final.With just over 20 minutes played, Foden worked his way into the box and skipped past two defenders before going for goal from a tight angle.Phil Foden was denied a wonder goal by Denzel DumfriesCredit: GettyDumfries stopped the ball on the lineCredit: ITVThe ball slipped through the legs of Bart Verbruggen and looked to be going in, but Dumfries stopped it on the line.Fans were left utterly stunned by the incredible block, with one person taking to social media to write: “That would have been the greatest goal of all time from Foden btw.”Another commented: “Foden got to be the most unlucky player I’ve ever seen HOW IS THAT NOT A GOAL.”A third said: “That looked like a goal by Foden lol.”Read More in FootballWhile a fourth added: “lmfao even God doesn’t want Foden to get a goal 😭.”Netherlands took an early lead in the seventh minute following a fantastic strike from Xavi Simons.However, Harry Kane equalised from the penalty spot shortly after.England were awarded a controversial penalty after Dumfries caught Kane with his studs after a shot.Most read in FootballReferee Felix Zwayer initially dismissed the claims, but changed his mind following a VAR check.Kane then fired the ball into the bottom-left corner, levelling the score at 1-1.Beers go flying at Boxpark as Harry Kane levels semi final vs Netherlands from penalty spotEngland later booked a spot in the Euro 2024 final thanks to a dramatic 90th-minute winner from super-sub Ollie Watkins.

      England fans change their tune on match-fixing ref as he gives controversial penalty after VAR check for foul on Kane

      by

      FANS have changed their tune on referee Felix Zwayer after he awarded England a controversial penalty against the Netherlands.Harry Kane was caught late in the box by Denzel Dumfries after taking a shot at goal.Harry Kane was caught late in the area after taking a shotCredit: GettyReferee Felix Zwayer initially failed to award the penaltyCredit: AFPBut he overturned his decision after reviewing the incident on the VAR monitorThere was clear contact made on Kane’s foot after his shotCredit: ReutersHis strike blazed over the crossbar as the England captain fell to the ground clutching his foot.There was contact made but the referee initially failed to award a penalty.However he was advised to review the incident on the VAR monitor and reversed his decision after watching the foul back multiple times.But some fans were still surprised to see the spot-kick given and quickly showed their appreciation for Zwayer.READ MORE ON EURO 2024One supporter reacted saying: “Love this ref – never in doubt.”Another added: “Love this dodgy ref to be honest 😂”A third wrote: “I obviously love it but that is never ever ever a pen 😂😂😂”Shock it’s the ref that’s corrupt. Thank god it’s for us.”Most read in Euro 2024BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSEngland’s controversial penaltyBy Mark HalseyHARRY KANE was gifted a penalty by controversial referee Felix Zwayer.If England had been on the receiving end of that decision, we would have been absolutely fuming.The German official, previously banned for six months for his part in a match-fixing scandal, should not have been sent to the pitchside monitor by VAR Bastian Dankert.Both Denzel Dumfries and Kane had their feet in the air as England’s captain got his shot away.It was just a clash of legs and certainly NOT a ‘clear and obvious error’.Once Zwayer went over to the monitor, we knew what was going to happen.He is an excellent referee but we have seen that none of the officials seem mentally tough enough to stick with their original call.I know some people will argue Dumfries was late to the tackle and it would have been a free-kick elsewhere on the pitch.But it is a contact sport and it’s natural that there will be a coming together in instances like that.Aside from the penalty award, Zwayer had a good game.There were fears decisions would go against England because of Jude Bellingham’s previous comments about Zwayer.Bellingham was fined £34,000 in 2021 for blaming Zwayer and his match-fixing past for Borussia Dortmund’s 3-2 defeat to Bayern Munich.But Zwayer was right to caution Bellingham for his reckless challenge on Stefan de Vrij in the second half.Zwayer was charged with match fixing in 2006England ratings vs HollandENGLAND stormed into the final against Spain thanks to Ollie Watkins’ last-minute strike in the 2-1 win over Holland.It was a brilliant team performance, but how did each player rate?SunSport’s Tom Barclay ran the rule over Southgate’s boys, and here’s how he rated them.Jordan Pickford: 7Bigger goalkeepers may have got a stronger hand to Xavi Simons’ early stunner – though that was being hypercritical. Solid stop to deny Virgil van Dijk after the hour.Kyle Walker: 7Looked re-energised after some lumbering displays and bombed on at times in the first half, despite his role on the right of a back three. Last-ditch tackle on Cody Gakpo was spot on.John Stones: 7Strong in possession. He looks to have benefited from regular game-time after rarely featuring for Manchester City in the last few months.Marc Guehi: 6Came back into the side after suspension ruled him out of the Switzerland game. Had an unenviable task of making the big man Wout Weghorst after the break.Bukayo Saka: 7Razor-sharp in the first half, winning tackles, making runs and dribbling the ball proficiently. Less of an impact after the break, had a goal ruled out for offside and was booked.Declan Rice: 6Lost possession for Simons’ thunderous opener but grew into the game, mopping up where necessary. Poor pass when Kane was open midway through the second half.Kobbie Mainoo: 8Was England’s youngest-ever player to play in a major-tournament semi-final, aged 19years 82 days, and had a stormer in the first half. Great bursts forward, vital tackles, and his interplay with Foden was a joy.Kieran Trippier: 6We all know by now that he is playing out of position, so again he was limited going forward and reliable defensively. Subbed at half-time for the more natural Shaw.Phil Foden: 7The first 45 minutes was by far and away his best half of the tournament. Thought he’d scored when his shot was cleared off the line by Denzel Dumfries, and cracked the post with a cracker. But was then surprisingly subbed.Jude Bellingham: 5Back at the ground where he made his name but struggled to make much of an impact on his old stomping ground. Fortunate it was not he that was subbed.Harry Kane: 6Won and dispatched the penalty to go joint top-scorer in the tournament with three goals. Had looked more mobile initially but still tired badly after the break and was taken off.SUBSLuke Shaw (for Kieran Trippier, half-time): 6Looked assured for a man who has been out for so long.Ollie Watkins (for Harry Kane, 81): 9 and STAR MAN Surprisingly given the nod over Ivan Toney as striker sub as Southgate looked for more pace in behind. Brilliant finish into the corner to win the game – you could not ask more from him.Cole Palmer (for Phil Foden, 81): 7Had his big chance in the final minutes but shanked it horribly wide – but then fed Watkins for his wonderful winner.Gareth Southgate: 8His switch to a back three against Switzerland helped dig out the win there, and here it had his team finally playing some great football in the first half. The team went into their shells again as the game wore on and you feared the worst – but you have to say his decision to bring on Ollie Watkins was a masterstroke. ITV pundit Gary Neville criticised the decision, calling it a “disgrace”.He said: “I think it’s an absolute disgrace. It’s an absolutely disgraceful decision, To have that given against me as a penalty at any time, but in a game of such importance.Beers go flying at Boxpark as Harry Kane levels semi final vs Netherlands from penalty spot”He goes in naturally just to try and block the shot. It’s not a penalty it’s nowhere near a penalty and I have to say I don’t think there were many England players claiming for it either.”It’s never a penalty but you take your luck.”It is a big change of heart from the England faithful, many of whom bemoaned the decision to appoint him for this match because of his chequered past.The German official was banned from football for six months back in 2005 due to his involvement in a huge scandal.Zwayer, who then worked as a linesman, accepted a £253 (€300) bribe from ref Robert Hoyzer to help him fix a second division match.After his comeback, Zwayer was promoted to a Bundesliga official in 2009 and he has since been slammed by Jude Bellingham.While playing for Borussia Dortmund, the England midfielder raged following a defeat to Bayern Munich as the Bavarians were awarded a controversial penalty for handball three years ago.Bellingham said in a post-match interview: “For me it wasn’t a penalty. Hummels is not even looking at the ball and he’s fighting to get it. It hits him, I don’t think he’s looking at the ball.”You can look at a lot of the other decisions in the game.READ MORE SUN STORIES”You give a referee that has, you know, match fixed before, the biggest game in Germany – what do you expect?”The penalty had a crucial impact on the game as Ollie Watkins struck a last-gasp winner to hand England a 2-1 victory and a place in the final.

      Lamine Yamal only started playing 11-a-side FOUR YEARS ago and was overshadowed by Oliver Skipp, now he’s Euro 2024 star

      by

      LAMINE YAMAL confirmed his status as football’s next superstar in Munich – but has only been playing 11-a-side games for four years.Spain’s incredible 16-year-old bent home the goal of the tournament so far against France as La Roja sealed the spot in the final.Yamal scored the goal of the tournament on TuesdayCredit: AlamyAnd announced himself as football’s next superstarCredit: APFans in Barcelona have long known just how good this little winger could be, but that one strike of his left boot was the birth of a global phenomenon.We have seen Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi vacate the stage and leave it to the likes of Kylian Mbappe. Here is another who could well be in that bracket before long – and he’s not even old enough to drive yet.It was not even that long ago that he was considered too young for proper football.READ MORE ON EURO 2024His first five years in Barcelona’s academy were spent playing seven-a-side football, up until the age of 12 in 2020 when he finally got a crack at 11-a-side games.Yamal’s story is baffling, brilliant and barely believable in equal measure.He is a boy born to a Moroccan father and a mother from Equatorial Guinea, who turns 17 tomorrow and was cradled by footballing royalty at just six months old.Staggering pictures of Yamal as a baby being held and bathed by Messi, taken for a Barcelona charity calendar 16 years ago, resurfaced this week.Most read in Euro 2024Yamal was held by Lionel Messi as a baby, leading some to joke that the Argentinian transferred his footballing powers to himCredit: APThey met again when Yamal was coming through Barcelona’s academyCredit: XYamal only started playing 11-a-side football four years agoCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSHe did not restrict his brushes with greatness to Barcelona either, with footage of Yamal as an academy player walking as a mascot with Spain and Real Madrid icon Sergio Ramos at an El Clasico in 2016.There is a touch of fate about this gem, Spain’s “little MVP”, as teammate Nico Williams has dubbed him.Lamine Yamal explains cheeky message he did in Spain v France Euro 2024 match The two wingers have become close at their Donaueschingen base in southern Germany – where Yamal has been doing homework in his spare time and received exam results during the tournament.He passed, obviously.That feeling of destiny was not only evidenced in the fact that it was his goal which got Luis de la Fuente’s men back on course to the final – but that he had scored a near identical one against the same opposition, in a Euros semi-final, a year ago for Spain’s Under-17s.Arguably that one was an even sweeter finish, but nothing will ever compare to doing it on this stage, under this pressure at that age.Spain were a goal down and looking wobbly before that thunderbolt from a now famous left foot, one which has gone straight into the history books.The youngest ever goalscorer at the Euros, also becoming the youngest player to ever start a major semi-final – claiming that title from Pele.But it was not just this moment of magic everyone was delighted by. Yamal’s teammates and manager hailed his work off the ball, while he picked up a card early in extra time for a challenge on the far bulkier Theo Hernandez as France threatened to break.Yamal dummied past Adrien Rabiot before scoring his wondergoalCredit: GettyIt earned Yamal a yellow card and the affection of anyone watching who was not wearing blue. He left to a standing ovation a couple of minutes later.Rodri said: “I am very, very proud of him.“People will hold on to the goal, that sudden starring moment from a kid who is 16.”And you have to have enormous quality to be able to do that, and doing it in a semi-final speaks to the player he is, the incredible future he has.”Very few players can do that.“But I hold on to his defensive commitment, the support he gave teammates, how he closed off spaces, the oxygen he gave us.”How complete his game was, and I told him that personally. Chapeau.”That work rate and focus on the collective over the individual brilliance, moments which can be clipped up and shared, is something that was always noted by academy coaches at Barcelona, the club he joined aged seven.They were impressed by his humble approach on and off the pitch, something which showed around a clash with France’s established stars.Adrien Rabiot probably felt quite embarrassed as he boarded his plane back home from Germany.The France midfielder had tried to intimidate Yamal ahead of their semi-final clash.Rabiot had said: “To reach a final at the Euros, he needs to do more than he’s done up until now.”Was this good enough, then? Yamal responded with a goal for the ages and a man of the match performance.But that is not nearly the best of it, in creating the space for the goal the winger skipped past Rabiot and left him in a spin – powerless to stop this moment of history.Speaking down the camera lens on the pitch at full time, Yamal simply said: “Speak now, speak now.”The wonderkid shouted at the camera ‘speak now’ as he celebrated reaching the finalOliver Skipp stole the show against Yamal’s Barcelona in pre-seasonCredit: ReutersAsked to expand on that afterwards, he added: “The person I’m talking about will know who he is. I’m just happy about reaching the final.”Rabiot and the rest of us know exactly who he was talking about.READ MORE SUN STORIESA season which started with a pre-season game against Tottenham where Yamal excelled but was overshadowed by Oliver Skipp scoring a brace will end on the biggest stage European football has to offer on Sunday.From being outshone by Skipp to eclipsing Pele’s records is not a bad year’s work – just imagine what he will do when he grows up.

START PLANNING LAST YEAR “It’s about planning for the opposition’s penalty takers but also ‘how do we win the psychological game against each opponent?’2. SMART SOUTHGATE LEADERSHIP”Southgate will have two minutes to influence his players as effectively as possible, show he has a plan and get confidence across.”3.
