  On Thursday night, Leon Osman pitched the ceremonial first pitch when Major League Baseball's Washington Nationals hosted the Atlanta Braves, reigning World Series champions. Osman is a global ambassador and a former player in the first team. He knows everything about Everton football club. This pre-season tour to the USA is a great opportunity to strengthen ties with Everton's supporters clubs in America. The first leg will take place at M&T Bank Stadium in the early hours of Saturday morning against Arsenal. The Nationals, the 2019 World Series winners, welcomed Asmir Begovic and Mason Holgate, as well as new signing James Tarkowski. However, the calm atmosphere covered up the fact that they were 3,500 miles from home. Unrest is raging among hardcore fans on Merseyside's blue side. Talk of a possible takeover has been the theme of summer for the Blues, with the Peter Kenyon-fronted consortium insisting that their offer for club remains open despite their expiration

  Christian Eriksen's cardiac attack was less than a year ago. His remarkable return to football and huge impact at Brentford have now brought his amazing comeback story to Old Trafford. The Manchester-based midfielder will play a crucial role in Erik ten Hag’s plans to revive United. Ten Hag, United boss, has been a significant part of Eriksen's story. He gave the Dane the chance to get back in shape at Ajax in January before his deadline to move to Brentford. Eriksen's future was uncertain at the time. He wasn't sure if he would be able to return to pro ranks or regain his best form. Ten Hag and Eriksen will reunite this summer, with the playmaker being re-established in Europe as one of Europe's greatest creators. He could be a great recruit for United, which last season badly lost his craft and composure. United were eighth in goals scored in 2021/22 while they were 18th for goals made from set pieces. Eriksen will undoubtedly improve both stats. He ranked third

What's the next step for Liverpool and Crystal Palace

  Liverpool started their preparations for the new season with a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace in Singapore. Jurgen Klopp's team were beaten by Manchester United in the first of their campaign. However, they responded well to Tuesday's 4-0 loss in Bangkok. Jordan Henderson's early goal gave them the lead at half-time. Liverpool saw Alex Oxlade Chamberlain, who had suffered a hamstring injury, leave the game just before the break. They made 11 changes at the half-time including the introductions of Mohamed Salah, and Darwin Nunez. Salah was quick to join the fray, as his deflected shot beat Vicente Guaita and sealed what was ultimately a comfortable win against Premier League opposition. Liverpool began brightly and held possession brilliantly during the first stages of the game. Palace was the one to make the first attempt on target, as Odsonne Edouard rose at the corner's highest, but Adrian was able to snatch his header out of the air. Curtis Jones forced Guaita to make

"Eriksen is united closer to Ten Hag's goals"

  After a thorough medical, Manchester United has signed Christian Eriksen to a three-year contract. After leaving Brentford where he had an impressive loan spell last season, Erik ten Hag has now strengthened his midfield options at Old Trafford. Due to the long flight from the UK, Eriksen from Denmark will not be joining United's preseason tour of Australia. Eriksen will reunite with Ten Hag. Ten Hag helped Eriksen recover from his cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 and invited him to train with Ajax during rehabilitation. Eriksen said, "Manchester United are a special club and I can't wait to get started." "I've had the pleasure of playing at Old Trafford many, but it will be an incredible feeling to do it in the red shirt for United. "I've seen Erik's work at Ajax, and I know how meticulous he and his team are. He is an outstanding coach. I am more excited about the future after speaking with him. "I have big ambitions in the game. There is a l

  Sarina Wiegman, England Women's head coach, has been positive for Covid-19. She will not be available on Friday for the Lionesses' last Euro 2022 group stage match against Northern Ireland at St Mary's. Wiegman will be recuperating at the base camp. Arjan Veurink, assistant coach, will be leading the team in tonight's match against Northern Ireland. Wiegman will continue to be in contact with players and technical staff remotely and will be closely monitored with a view returning to all aspects of her role as quickly as possible. England's record-breaking 8-0 win over Norway on Monday has confirmed England's place at the knockout stage. Wiegman will be eager to return to the touchline. Wiegman stated that rotation was unlikely since England faces British rivals Northern Ireland in the final Group A match at Euro 2022. Kenny Shiels, however, wants his team to end the tournament on a positive note. Euro debutants Northern Ireland have not been able to qualify fo

SPAIN lost its appeal after it was excluded from the 2023 Rugby World Cup. It twice fielded the same ineligible player during qualifying matches.

  SPAIN lost its appeal after it was excluded from the 2023 Rugby World Cup. It twice fielded the same ineligible player during qualifying matches. In April, an independent judicial panel found that Gavin Van den Berg (South African-born) had falsified his entry date into Spain to meet eligibility requirements. In two matches that were qualified, he was used as a substitute for the second half twice. Van den Berg was fined PS25,000 by the committee. A suspended penalty of PS50,000 would be imposed for 2019 qualifications irregularities. Spain appealed in May, as per their rights. On Monday, a World Rugby statement stated that "Following an appeal by Federacion Espanola de Rugby FER (FER), an Independent Appeal Committee upheld the original decision made by the Independent Judicial Committee relating breaches of player eligibility during European regional Rugby World Cup 2023 qualification processes." Alfonso Feijoo of Spain Rugby Federation said that his federation had been d
  POLICE have arrested a match-fixing ring in football that was operating in Spain and Gibraltar. Investigators claim that the network made more than EUR500,000 mostly through illicit gambling linked with Spain's Third Division. Interpol has confirmed links to Gibraltar’s National League, but no information is available to show how widespread this practice was. Authorities have arrested 21 people, while six others are being investigated for organized crime, corruption, and defrauding operators of gambling. Operation Conifera also saw them seize EUR60,000 in cash, two cars, smartphones, and computer equipment. Investigators believe that two leaders were involved in the gang's activities, both of whom had strong connections to professional football. They reached out to football players and requested confidential information in an effort to influence matches. The 'procurers,' who provide identities and mules for placing sports bets and collecting prize money, would use the
