      What does ‘Jules Rimet still gleaming’ mean in Three Lions?

      by

      IT’S almost that time again for England supporters to bellow out the popular Three Lions anthem at another World Cup.English fans will be hoping that their vocal cords will finally push the team to bring football’s most prestigious trophy home.

      but ‘Jules Rimet still gleaming’ is one part of the chorus which still confuses a lot of fans.
      And SunSport is here to clear up what exactly this means.
      What does Jules Rimet still gleaming mean in Three Lions?
      ‘Jules Rimet still gleaming’ is reference to the original World Cup trophy which was lifted by England legend Sir Bobby Moore after the Three Lions’ monumental win over West Germany in 1966.
      It was named after the man who was the third FIFA president and Rimet is the longest-serving president in the organisations history having held the position from 1921 until 1954.

      The Frenchman was one of the masterminds behind the first ever World Cup which was held in Uruguay in 1930 and it was renamed in Rimet’s honour after he sadly in 1956 at the age of 83.
      There has been a lot of controversy around the Jules Rimet trophy as it was allegedly stolen from a display case in the headquarters of the Brazilian football association in 1984.
      And it was also stolen before England’s 1966 World Cup win which led to a nationwide police investigation before it was famously discovered by Pickles the dog.

      Tyson Fury vs Derek Chisora 3: Date, UK start time, live stream, TV channel CONFIRMED, undercard – all the details

      by

      A whopping 94,000 fans, a British record, filled the England football team’s national stadium that night to watch Fury defend his WBC heavyweight crown before announcing his retirement in the ring after.
      His retirement didn’t last long, however, as toward the end of the summer he called out Anthony Joshua for a massive money-spinning clash.
      Talks failed to materialise, however, and now Fury is on the precipice of finalising a deal to fight Chisora, who beat Kubrat Pulev in exciting fashion in July.
      Chisora has clashed with Fury twice before, though, losing the first on points before being stopped in their 2014 sequel.
      When is Fury vs Chisora 3?

      Fury is set to fight old rival Chisora on Saturday, December 3.
      The fight is set to take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
      The last fight to be held there was Anthony Joshua’s first fight with Oleksandr Usyk last year.
      Ring-walks will likely get underway from 10pm UK time.

      What channel will it be on and can it be live streamed?

      Fury vs Chisora 3 will be shown live on BT Sport Box Office in the UK.
      BT Sport Box Office is available for live streaming from their dedicated app, which can be downloaded onto your mobile or tablet device.
      A price for the event has yet to be determined.

      “Tyson can’t afford any slip-up in this fight as he has the much-publicised undisputed match-up with Usyk in the New Year which we’re really looking forward to.” More

      What happened last time Uruguay played Ghana in the World Cup?

      by

      GHANA are seeking revenge when they face Uruguay in Group H of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.The sides faced off in the quarter final back in 2010 during the World Cup in South Africa, and a rivalry was born.

      They will now face each other for the first time in 12 years as the sides look to battle it out to reach the knock-out stages.
      However, it will not be easy to qualify from Group H as Portugal and South Korea make up the group.
      What happened last time Uruguay played Ghana?
      To find the last time these two met, you have to go back over a decade ago when a certain Luis Suarez made headlines.

      No, the controversial figure did not bite anyone despite having done so three times in his career, but he did have his say on the match.
      With Sulley Muntari putting Ghana ahead, Uruguay equalised through Diego Forlan before the match was sent to extra time.
      With penalties looming as the score remained level, Ghana were putting on the pressure and came close to scoring in the final minute of the match.

      However, Suarez was on the line to clear a shot away completely legally before the rebound came in. This time, the forward opted to punch the ball off the line to prevent a late goal.
      Suarez was dismissed for this and Ghana were awarded a penalty and up stepped Asamoah Gyan with his country’s semi-final dream in his hands.
      The striker blasted the ball over the bar, with Suarez on the touchline watching on before bursting into celebration as the match was to be decided by a penalty shoot-out.
      Most read in Sport
      Uruguay came out victorious, winning 4-2 on penalties and securing a place in the semi-final after Suarez’s dark arts.
      The African side will no doubt be seeking revenge in Group H as they look to make up for the 2010 heartbreak caused by Suarez, who will face off against them once more, and potentially for the last time in the 35-year-old’s career – with Gyan considering a stunning return for the showdown.

      How many players has Uruguay’s Luis Suarez bitten?

      by

      DURING his time at Ajax, Liverpool and with Uruguay, Luis Suarez had bitten off more than he could chew with several on-the-field controversies.Bursting onto the scene at the 2010 World Cup, Suarez earned a move to Anfield in 2011 before making a career-defining move to Barcelona.

      The 35-year-old is now likely to be playing at his last ever World Cup as Uruguay will be keen to send him off in style.
      Scoring 68 goals in 134 games for his country, Suarez has made memories on the pitch but there have also been moments to forget for the controversial figure.
      How many players has Luis Suarez bitten?
      During his playing career, Suarez’s footballing quality has never been called into question despite some crazy incidents.
      The striker made headlines during his time at Ajax, being labelled as a villain for the first time back in 2010.

      The forward earned a seven-game suspension after sinking his teeth into PSV Eindhoven’s Otman Bakkal, biting his shoulder as his teammates looked on in disbelief.
      You’d have thought that Suarez would learn from his mistake, losing his cool as a youngster before earning a move to Liverpool, where he would become one of the best strikers in the world.
      But, no, Suarez was at it again in 2013. In an off-the-ball incident, Suarez grabbed Chelsea full-back Branislav Ivanovic’s arm and once again opted for a bite. This time earning him a 10-game suspension.
      Giorgio Chiellini showed the referee bite marks as Luis Suarez went down holding his teeth in the 2014 World CupCredit: AFP
      Surely Suarez was done here and had learned his lesson? No. There was one final bite to follow, and this one on the biggest stage of them all.
      During the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Uruguay faced Italy and Suarez was at it for a third time.
      It appeared to be third time lucky for the forward, who was not punished during the match despite biting Giorgio Chiellini’s shoulder and the Italian showing bite marks to the referee.
      Most read in Football
      This time, the bite earned Suarez a nine-match suspension from FIFA, ending his World Cup campaign and this was the last occasion we saw Suarez bite an opponent, making it three times in his career.
      The Uruguayan will be hoping for a less controversial tournament in 2022 as he looks to go out in style, leaving fans talking about his goal scoring prowess rather than controversial on-the-pitch antics. More

      How do F1 drivers pee during races?

      by

      F1 drivers often spend hours at a time in their cars while racing for world championships. Travelling at high-octane speeds with plenty on the line, drivers are only human – they need to relieve themselves!

      But with no reprieve from their cockpits until the end of the race, some will find the need to go a little too pressing for their own liking.
      So just how, and when, do they do it?
      How do F1 drivers pee?
      There is no way to dress this up. They just let it go in their race suits!
      With some races lasting around two hours, if a driver has not been able to go before the race starts, then they will simply empty their bladders in their cockpits.
      Of course, temperatures in the cockpit help to dry the suits again, or if it is a particularly hot race – like Singapore – they will be soaked with sweat anyway.
      Do F1 drivers have drinks inside their F1 car?
      F1 drivers have an option to carry a water bottle to help them stay hydrated – but most don’t bother these days to save weight.
      Instead they use scientific drinks and tablets to perhydrate before races to ensure they have enough fluids in their system to last the full race distance.
      That said, if there is a particularly hot race – like Miami this year – they may take a drink in the cockpit which is placed under their seat and dispensed by pressing a button on their steering wheel.
      However, because it is close to the engine, it gets pretty warm by the fifth lap and it is like drinking hot water.
      Most read in Motorsport
      Has an F1 driver ever had a toilet accident during a race?
      Lewis Hamilton is one driver who says he’s never urinated during a race while there are suggestions Michael Schumacher, the other seven times world champion, was regularly taking a leak inside the cockpit.
      Kimi Raikkonen was once famously asked on the grid by Martin Brundle why he missed a pre-race presentation by football icon, Pele.
      The Finn was doing his own pre-race routine and replied: “I was having a s**t.”
      Meanwhile, NASCAR legend Tony Stewart is said to have famously pooed himself during his victory at Watkins Glen in 2004.
      He was complaining of feeling unwell and immediately headed to his motorhome when he clambered from his race car for a wash and a fresh race suit before taking part in the celebrations. More
