The first derby in English football history? You’ve got to go way back to Boxing Day in 1860 (!) when Sheffield FC played Hallam FC under new rules that were eventually adopted to the worldwide game, introducing elements such as throw-ins and corner kicks. Today, of course, there’s plenty of derbies up and down the country, usually at least a couple each week if you take into account the lower leagues....
The forecast for Thursday afternoon — and the vital Group D match against Uruguay — called for more of the same, perhaps with a little rain mixed in to make the English truly feel at home. “Obviously, we’re not complaining about that, but I don’t think Uruguay will, either,” Hodgson said. “These conditions, of course, if you’re playing football at the intensity that both we and Uruguay play at, playing in these temperatures can only be advantageous....
Dortmund feel that the starlet has some catching up to do with his fitness after a late move in the transfer window which has led them to only releasing him for the group stages for Steve Cooper’s young Lions. The 17-year-old, coveted by major European clubs over the summer, made a transfer deadline-day move to Dortmund after running down his contract with Manchester City. The English Football Association (FA) and the German club have been locked in negotiations in the past few days over the availability of the teenager for the showpiece event in India....
Not many would have wagered on India scoring 300-plus at Cardiff on Wednesday after the way they started the innings in cloudy overhead conditions, losing the toss and battling for a decent score till the 30th over when Rohit Sharma’s patient vigil ended with India managing a shade over four runs an over. From there on to push the rate to six at close to nine an over for 20 overs is amazing – with Raina and Mahendra Singh Dhoni putting on 144 runs at eight an over in their fifth-wicket stand of 16 overs....

The brace took to six the number of goals for the 21-year-old. Tomane and Crivallero sent the hosts into the lead in the first half as the visitors were left badly exposed at the back. However, their fortunes changed in the second as Moirerense clawed back from the brink of defeat with Boateng stepping up to the rescue. His first came immediately after the restart as he tapped in a low cross into the box from Modou Sougou....

Iconic goalkeeper Buffon brought an end to his illustrious 17-year stay at Juve, which included nine Serie A titles and four domestic doubles, when his contract expired following the 2017-18 season. The 40-year-old will continue his career at Paris Saint-Germain, where he has signed for the upcoming campaign with an option to extend for another. When asked if Buffon’s legacy in Turin weighed on him following his €12million switch from Genoa, Italy international Perin said: “To emulate what Gigi did will be difficult, if not impossible....
Yes, he may practice this week. Luck wants to play a regular-season game, although he couched that by saying he’s not trying to go back out there before he’s fully healthy. But he shouldn’t, and nobody should make him. More important: If he does, nobody should believe he’ll save the Colts’ season, or that he’ll save anybody’s job. Even if his healing kidney can stand the bouncing, he’s not riding in on a white horse to rescue his team....
“If they lose their work authorizations they may no longer have a way to finance their education,” Elora Mukherjee, director of Columbia Law School’s Immigrants’ Rights Clinic, told Newsweek.

Still, there are certainly many new toys for players to get excited about in Battlefield 2042 due to its futuristic setting, but some things about the series remain unchanged. This includes the hilariously unbalanced relationship between footsoldiers and vehicles, as demonstrated perfectly by one Reddit user who took a plane for a literal spin.

Stokes and McCullum were appointed at the helm of England’s Test side ahead of the ongoing three-match series against New Zealand.
