England World Cup squad: Alexander-Arnold, Foden, Maguire snubbed

Published

The road to the 2026 World Cup is almost over as the 48 teams that will participate in the most-awaited soccer tournament in the world are now in the process of announcing their rosters. Some big names have already been announced, and Neymar is one of the latest. Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti named the 34-year-old superstar to the squad in the most anticipated part of his announcement on Monday.

“I want to be clear, clean and honest. He will play if he deserves to play,” Ancelotti said of Neymar, who left Europe for an unsuccessful spell in Saudi Arabia in 2023 before returning to boyhood club Santos last year. “We have training and training to decide who will play. I have an idea of who could be the starting lineup at this moment, but we have to see how they train later, how they are prepared, what physical and mental condition they have to be in the starting lineup. I think it’s important not to set an expectation that someone on whether one plays. Each one (on the team) must prioritize to help the team win the cup. I only want players available to help the team win games.”  

On Friday, Thomas Tuchel named the 26 players that will travel to the World Cup and there are some surprises as Cole Palmer, Phil Foden, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Harry Maguire were all left out of the roster picked by the German coach ahead of the summer tournament, while Jordan Henderson and Ivan Toney made it to the list. 

The associations that have yet to announce must provide FIFA with their final squads of between 23 and 26 players, including at least three goalkeepers. A player on the final list can be replaced by a player from the preliminary list in the event of a serious injury or illness no later than 24 hours before the team’s first match at the World Cup, while a goalkeeper in the final squad may be replaced by another goalkeeper from the preliminary squad in the event of a serious injury or illness at any time during the World Cup.

St. George Illawarra Dragons vs New Zealand Warriors Odds

St. George Illawarra Dragons vs New Zealand Warriors Preview

St George Illawarra will be desperate to finally break through for its first win of the season when it hosts an in-form New Zealand Warriors outfit at Jubilee Stadium on Saturday. The Dragons’ difficult campaign continued in Magic Round with a heavy loss to Penrith, extending their losing streak to 14 matches as pressure continues to build around the club. Injuries have not helped, with Moses Suli sidelined again, although Jaydn Su’A returns from suspension and adds some much-needed experience to the backline. In stark contrast, the Warriors arrive full of confidence after dismantling Brisbane for a fifth consecutive victory to cement their place near the top of the ladder. However, the win came with a major setback after halfback Tanah Boyd suffered a season-ending ACL injury. Even with several Origin absentees, New Zealand still boasts impressive depth and has dominated this matchup recently, winning four of the past five meetings against the Dragons.

MANILA, Philippines—Barangay Ginebra weathered a late storm from Rain or Shine to pull out a 109-101 victory in Game 2 of the PBA Commissioner’s Cup semifinals at Mall of Asia Arena on Friday.

After absorbing a heartbreaking 115-111 loss in Game 1, the Gin Kings bounced back to even the best-of-seven series at 1-1.

“They played their style again, they kept the pace up,” coach Tim Cone said.

“It came down in the fourth and gave themselves a chance to win, we played right into it and it’s hard not to because they come at you in a lot of ways… It’s very difficult because we overplayed Justin (Brownlee), Troy (Rosario) and Scottie (Thompson) so from a coaching standpoint, I expected them to do that.”

Japeth Aguilar scored inside midway through the fourth quarter to give Ginebra what seemed to be a comfortable 98-78 lead.

But the Elasto Painters refused to fold, unloading a 19-3 run capped by a triple from Jaylen Johnson to trim the deficit to 101-97 with 1:37 remaining.

Scottie Thompson calmly knocked down two free throws to push the lead back to six, 103-97, before Jhonard Clarito answered with two freebies of his own to keep Rain or Shine within striking distance, 103-99, with under 40 seconds left.

Troy Rosario, however, got free underneath for the dagger basket that gave the Gin Kings a decisive 105-99 cushion with 23 seconds to go en route to the win.

Justin Brownlee flirted with a triple-double, finishing with 31 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists for Ginebra.

Pep Guardiola to Leave Manchester City After Final Game of the Season

Published

on

Manchester City have confirmed that manager Pep Guardiola will leave the club after Sunday’s final match of the season.

Guardiola has enjoyed a hugely successful spell at City, winning 17 major trophies, including six Premier League titles in 10 seasons in charge of the club.

The 55-year-old will take charge of his final game when City face Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

Reports from BBC Sport on Monday said the club had already started making plans for Guardiola’s departure, even though he still had one year left on his contract.

“Don’t ask me the reasons I’m leaving,” said Guardiola. “There is no reason, but deep inside, I know it’s my time.

“Nothing is eternal, if it was, I would be here. Eternal will be the feeling, the people, the memories, the love I have for my Manchester City.”

Former Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, who previously worked under Guardiola at City, is believed to be the leading candidate to replace him.

The announcement came only three days after City lost the 2025/26 Premier League title to Arsenal.

City’s draw against AFC Bournemouth on Tuesday confirmed Arsenal as league champions for the first time in 22 years.

Guardiola first agreed to join City in February 2016, replacing Manuel Pellegrini ahead of the 2016/17 season.

Although he failed to win a trophy in his first season and also ended last season empty-handed, his side dominated English football for most of his time at the club.

City became the first Premier League team to reach 100 points in a season during the 2017/18 campaign. They also scored a record 106 goals that season.

In the 2022/23 season, Guardiola guided City to a historic Treble, winning the Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League in the same campaign. They became only the second English club after Manchester United to achieve the feat.

City also made history by becoming the first team to win four straight English league titles after lifting the trophy again in the 2023/24 season.

Despite stepping down as manager, City said Guardiola would remain connected to the club as a global ambassador for the City Football Group.

Before joining City, Guardiola spent three years at Bayern Munich, where he won three Bundesliga titles and two German Cups.

He began his coaching career at FC Barcelona in 2008, building one of the greatest club teams in football history. During his time there, he won three La Liga titles, two Champions League trophies and two Copa del Rey titles.

As a player, Guardiola also enjoyed a successful career at Barcelona, winning six La Liga titles and the 1991/92 European Cup. He also captained Spain national football team to Olympic gold at the 1992 Barcelona Games before retiring from football in 2006.

Indian legend launches sharp criticism at Sai Sudharsan despite holding Orange Cap in IPL 2026

Published

on

Indian spin legend Ravichandran Ashwin feels Gujarat Titans (GT) opener Sai Sudharsan should learn to accelerate towards the back end of the innings. He opined that the southpaw needed to improve to match the demands of modern-day T20 cricket.

Sudharsan has shown terrific form in IPL 2026 and is currently the Orange Cap holder. The opening batter has amassed 638 runs from 14 innings at a strike rate of 157.92. Speaking about the 24-year-old’s batting style, Ashwin remarked in his YouTube video:

“I want to praise Shubman Gill’s batting. He has put in a lot of effort and has shown great intent in the powerplay. I wouldn’t say the same thing about Sai Sudharsan. Sai Sudharsan plays conventional cricket, but capitalizes later on. I still think Sai Sudharsan needs to accelerate towards the end of the innings. T20 cricket has changed. He can do a lot more.”

Sudharsan shone with the bat in GT’s 89-run win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Ahmedabad on Thursday, May 21. He played a brilliant 84-run knock off 53 balls. Ashwin noted that the talented batter hit a four over mid-off after stepping out of the crease against Anshul Kamboj.

The former cricketer praised Sudharsan’s ability to upset the rhythm of the bowlers. He stated:

“He is not one of your modern-day T20 batters, but the way he used his feet today was good to see. He stepped out and hit Anshul Kamboj’s first ball over mid-off in the powerplay. He doesn’t hit straight that often, but today, he played his first lofted shot there.

“It would have been a catch had the mid-off been straighter, but we should praise him because this guy does something or the other to upset the rhythm of the bowlers. He doesn’t have power; he is not a powerful T20 hitter, he bats conventionally, but by using his brain, by running two, or by playing good shots, he upsets the bowler.”

With the comprehensive win over CSK, the Shubman Gill-led GT have secured a top-two finish in IPL 2026.

“He has not unlocked his full potential yet” – R Ashwin on Shubman Gill’s batting exploits in IPL 2026

R Ashwin lauded GT skipper Shubman Gill for changing his powerplay approach. He pointed out that the right-handed batter has played attacking cricket right from the outset.

However, Ashwin suggested that Gill has yet to unlock his full potential as a batter. He said in the same video:

“There is a huge difference in his powerplay intent. The volume of runs has always been there and is in the Orange Cap list, but he’s shown us that he can play with intent. I am still saying that it is 60-70 percent maximum. He has not unlocked his full potential yet. He is a special batter and can do more.”

Gill is the second-highest run-scorer in IPL 2026. He has scored 616 runs from 13 innings with a strike rate of 161.67.
