Nigerian midfielder Daniel Daga made his first Norwegian Eliteserien appearance since being cleared of sexual assault allegations, coming off the bench in the 35th minute of Molde’s 2-1 home defeat to Brann on Saturday.
The former FC ONE Rocket star replaced Vebjørn Hoff before halftime as Molde suffered their fifth league defeat of the season.

Reacting to his return, Daga wrote on social media on Sunday:

“Not the result we wanted, but grateful to be back doing what I love with the boys.”
Molde head coach Sindre Tjelmeland will be hoping the 19-year-old quickly rediscovers his best form as the club looks to strengthen its push for a European qualification place. The five-time Norwegian champions are currently fifth in the Eliteserien as the season approaches its halfway stage.
Bo Nix is entering the 2026 season as the 59th best player in the NFL. The Denver Broncos starting quarterback was voted No. 59 by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2026.
This is Nix’s second appearance on the highly anticipated list. However, he’s ranked 10 places ahead of two-time MVP Lamar Jackson. NFL fans reacted to the development on X.
Thanks for the submission!

Another added, “Absolutely insane Bo Nix was rated higher than 2x MVP Lamar Jackson Somethings obviously going on with Jackson inside the locker room because you dont fall 60 some spots in one year just due to a few injuries.”
One said, “Bo Nix is fine where’s he’s at it’s just that the list is so bad it’ll get push back.”
Another added, “Should be like top 40 at least, absolute disrespect.”
One chipped in, writing, “Bo Nix at 59 already? Just getting started, king 👑 Broncos are back baby! 🐎🔥 #GoBroncos.”
The 2026 NFL Top 100 features a number of quarterbacks. Here’s a look at the list thus far:
No. 59: Bo Nix, Denver Broncos
No. 62: Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars
No. 69: Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens
No. 72: Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers
No. 77: Baker Mayfield, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
No. 85: Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers
No. 98: Bryce Young, Carolina Panthers
Bryce Young was the first quarterback to appear on the countdown. The Carolina Panthers signal-caller made solid strides in the 2025 season, ensuring that the Panthers reach the playoffs for the first time since the 2017 campaign.
Jordan Love, Baker Mayfield and Brock Purdy all reminded the rest of the league of their Pro Bowl-caliber talent. Love and Purdy helped their teams to the playoffs while Mayfield narrowly missed out.
Trevor Lawrence was instrumental in the Jacksonville Jaguars reaching the postseason. The former No. 1 pick was on an MVP trajectory before falling out of the race in the later stages of the regular season.
Bo Nix and Lamar Jackson had contrasting 2025 campaigns
Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos entered the 2025 season with decent expectations. It was Nix’s second season with the franchise and Sean Payton’s third at the helm.

The former Oregon standout showcased his poise, football IQ and underrated dual-threat ability as he guided the Broncos to a deep postseason run. Nix ended the campaign with 25 touchdown passes. The Broncos might have gone even further if not for an ankle injury suffered by their star quarterback in the divisional round against the Buffalo Bills.
Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens entered the 2025 season as Super Bowl favorites. The presence of the two-time MVP made the Ravens one of the most feared teams in the stacked AFC.
However, Jackson and the John Harbaugh-coached Ravens would go on to have a season to forget. They missed out on the playoffs with Jackson posting a stat line of 2,549 passing yards, 21 passing touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 13 games. Harbaugh was subsequently fired after 18 seasons in charge.
Bo Nix and Lamar Jackson will enter the 2026 season with similar goals. They’ll look to help their teams to Super Bowl glory while proving to be the best of the AFC.
Marc Cucurella’s secret pre-match ritual helped continue Spain’s World Cup-winning superstition/ Image:X
Marc Cucurella was spotted carrying out an unusual pre-match ritual moments before Spain’s FIFA World Cup 2026 final against Argentina, and it has now emerged that the act was part of a 16-year-old superstition passed down by one of Spain’s previous World Cup winners.Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 after extra time at the New York New Jersey Stadium to lift the men’s World Cup for the second time in their history, with substitute Ferran Torres scoring the decisive goal in the 106th minute.While much of the attention after the final centred on Spain’s triumph and Argentina’s late collapse, footage captured shortly before kick-off revealed Cucurella quietly walking towards the touchline, removing an object from his sock and burying it beneath the turf.
The ‘secret’ lucky coin tradition
Initially, nobody knew what the Spain left-back had hidden in the grass.The mystery was solved after the final by former Spain defender Joan Capdevila, who revealed that the object was a coin and that he had personally asked Cucurella to continue a superstition dating back to Spain’s first World Cup triumph in 2010.Capdevila, who started at left-back when Spain defeated the Netherlands in the 2010 World Cup final in Johannesburg, explained that he had buried a coin in the pitch before that match and encouraged Cucurella to repeat the ritual before facing Argentina.Writing on X, Capdevila said: “And now I’ll tell you a secret… In 2010, I buried a coin in the grass before starting the match… I’ve told it millions of times.“I asked @cucurella3 to do the same yesterday…“Marc, I love you so much. YOU ARE A WORLD CHAMPION!”He also shared the video showing Cucurella discreetly checking that nobody was watching before placing the coin into the turf and covering it with grass moments before kick-off.
Spain’s lucky charm ends with another World Cup
Whether coincidence or superstition, the ritual appeared to work once again.Spain controlled much of the final against defending champions Argentina before finally finding the breakthrough in extra time.Ferran Torres struck in the 106th minute after being set up by Nico Williams, handing Luis de la Fuente’s side a hard-earned 1-0 victory and securing Spain’s second World Cup title, exactly 16 years after their first.Cucurella was once again a key figure throughout the tournament, capping another successful international campaign after helping Spain win the European Championship two years earlier.Argentina’s hopes of forcing penalties had already suffered a major blow when Enzo Fernández was sent off in stoppage time of normal time after receiving a second yellow card for a reckless challenge on Pau Cubarsí. Tempers later boiled over after the final whistle, with Leandro Paredes also being dismissed following an altercation involving several Spain players.

Capdevila’s own World Cup journey almost ended before it began
The story carried extra significance because Capdevila himself almost missed the final.Earlier in the week, the 2010 World Cup winner revealed that his Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) application to enter the United States had been denied, reportedly because of a previous exhibition match he had played in Iran.Capdevila publicly appealed to US President Donald Trump on social media, writing: “I NEED HELP @realDonaldTrump!”“They just told me that I can’t travel to the final with my kids because my ESTA has been denied.“Can anyone help me with this? You have no idea how excited I was to be there with all my 2010 teammates and this team to cheer them on.“I can’t believe they’re not letting me into the USA… and that I’ll miss a moment like this with my kids who love soccer so much.”According to ESPN, US Customs and Border Protection later confirmed to the Associated Press that it had received a request regarding Capdevila’s case and subsequently granted him permission to enter the country.The former Villarreal defender arrived in New Jersey in time for the final and watched Spain lift the World Cup from the stands.After the victory, he celebrated both Spain’s triumph and his own successful journey by posting: “HOW WASN’T IT WORTH IT… I DESERVED TO BE HERE WITH MY FAMILY ENJOYING THIS MOMENT, AND JUSTICE HAS BEEN SERVED. Thanks to everyone who pushed for this to be possible, thanks to all of you from the bottom of my heart.”For Capdevila, the coin buried beneath the grass had already brought Spain luck once in 2010. Sixteen years later, after Cucurella repeated the same quiet ritual before kick-off, it ended with another World Cup trophy heading back to Spain.
Messi was visibly distraught after missing out on back-to-back titles in what will surely be his final World Cup appearance, with the Argentinian hero turning 39 this tournament.
But Messi has now taken to Instagram to post an emotional statement, less than 24 hours out from that gut-wrenching failure in New Jersey.
“The pain is immense, and it will take time for this wound to heal. But I also hold on to all the good,” he said.

Lionel Messi was visibly emotional after Argentina’s World Cup defeat (Reuters)
“The matches we turned around, giving our all, matches that will forever remain in our memories, the support of an entire country that, together with the hard work and effort of this group, led us to be, once again, among the best in the world.
“Today it’s hard to fully appreciate what we accomplished, but this group reached two consecutive World Cup finals.
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for every greeting and every message. Once again, we managed to unite as a country and be together, sharing the immense pride of being Argentinian.
“I also want to congratulate Spain on winning the championship.”
“He is 39 years old, it is unbelievable,” Scaloni said in a tearful press conference. “It was always crystal clear to me that he would play until he chose to stop and that everyone would support him.
“I hope everyone is proud of him, because he is the best football player ever to set foot on a pitch.”
Messi scored eight goals and made four assists in a fantastic campaign for Argentina.
The 1-0 defeat to Spain, courtesy of an extra-time strike from Ferran Torres, was the only match he failed to contribute a goal in.
It’s hard to argue the World Cup hasn’t been a success — even after United States (US) President Donald Trump’s unprecedented intervention put the tournament’s integrity in jeopardy.
With Spain claiming its second World Cup title on Sunday, beating Argentina 1-0 in extra time, the most lucrative sporting event ever has overcome every hurdle thrown its way. Fifa increased its four-year revenue expectations by about $2 billion on top of earlier World Cup estimates of about $9 billion.
More than 15 million people filled stadiums and fan festival areas combined during the length of the tournament, the biggest World Cup by attendance, and that’s despite record high ticket prices. Visiting fans and teams heaped praise on their American hosts, a welcome change to increasingly souring opinion toward the country. But Fifa’s obsession with money and power over all else undoubtedly tainted what was otherwise a festive tournament: led by Trump’s intervention on behalf of a suspended American star.

Balogun incident
On Sunday, Spanish midfielder and captain Rodri was handed the World Cup trophy by Fifa boss Gianni Infantino and Trump. The pair were whistled and booed at the game, condemnation amplified by one event in particular.
During the knockout rounds, Trump had called Infantino and asked if Folarin Balogun, who faced a one-match ban following a red card in a game, could be reinstated for the US in the Round of 16 match against Belgium. Fifa’s disciplinary committee soon suspended that ban for a year, an unprecedented decision.
Infantino’s insistence of the committee’s independence was immediately dismissed by fans, who pointed to the Fifa chief’s relentless efforts to ingratiate himself with Trump, including a Fifa Peace Prize that was hastily created and awarded to him last year. Critics saw the series of events as the latest example of deep-rooted corruption in Fifa.
The shocking reprieve couldn’t save the US, however, as the it lost 4-1 — an outcome that kept the scandal from completely overshadowing the tournament.

This was not the only political incident that raised eyebrows during the games, however: Lionel Messi and other Argentinian players celebrated a semifinal victory over England with a fan’s banner supporting the country’s claim over the Falkland Islands, prompting the UK government to call for a Fifa investigation.
Egypt’s coach was seen raising and waving Palestine’s flag following a Round of 32 win over Australia, and the Iranian team complained bitterly as it had to fly in and out of the US every matchday from its base camp in Mexico due to American sanctions.
More money, more problems
Fifa faces plenty of questions about the future despite the resounding commercial success of this year’s tournament. The new 48-team format, deemed too big by many, produced moving underdog stories with seven teams reaching the knockout phase for the first time. Infantino has floated the idea of further expanding the World Cup to 64 teams in 2030.

It’s not clear what the right thing is for the World Cup. The tournament has already become huge in size, with 104 games over 39 days. Players are growing increasingly critical of the sheer number of matches that Fifa, leagues and the regional football bodies are asking them to play.
Fans are also becoming increasingly weary of the sport’s preoccupation with financial gain. In a first for the tournament, Fifa introduced dynamic pricing for World Cup tickets, a system that automatically modifies costs according to real-time demand and available inventory. The results were record high prices.
The organisation has even found ways to guarantee more money in the future. Crowds booed lustily during the controversial “hydration breaks” that interrupted this year’s matches. While Fifa has claimed the decision was solely based on players’ well-being during a tournament that took place during punishing heat, the pauses have conveniently provided time for broadcasters — such as Fox in the US — to sell more advertising.
With two hydration breaks per match, broadcasters would gain eight new in-game, 30-second advertising slots. This in turn means Fifa could net even larger sums for the next round of media rights sales.
But now they already have major championship validation.
The most crucial to his win was undoubtedly his ZXi RKT (pronounced “Rocket”) LS+ driver. Needing a par to tie and birdie to win the championship on Royal Birkdale’s second-most-difficult hole on Sunday, Fox stepped up and delivered a 330-yard missile down the right side of the fairway, setting up his decisive walk-off birdie.
Srixon has yet to comment on the technical details of the new woods line, and we don’t expect them to until the line’s official retail launch. But from the images of the club we have seen, GOLF’s Jake Morrow made a few observations.
The drivers appear to utilize much more carbon fiber than the previous generations and Srixon seems to be focusing on the sound of the driver with an “Acousticore” badging on the sole of the clubs.
We should also note that the LS+ model Fox played this week was part of the previous ZXi line but never made it to retail. Fox also played the previous LS+ model.
Fox made a move to the new Fujikura Ventus TR Black 6-X driver shaft with VeloCore+ at the Scottish Open. The shaft first debuted in March and now has two PGA Tour wins after Viktor Hovland also played the profile in his Travelers Championship win.
Just this week, Fox also added the ZXi RKT 3-wood, which launched at the Scottish Open.
For the week at Royal Birkdale, Fox was 10th in SG: Off the Tee, gaining more than three shots over the four rounds.
Former England captain and manager Kevin Keegan has died at the age of 75, his family have confirmed.
Keegan passed away seven weeks after revealing that he had been diagnosed with stage four cancer. His family had earlier announced in January that he was receiving treatment after doctors carried out further checks on ongoing abdominal problems.
In a statement, the Keegan family said he died peacefully surrounded by his wife and daughters.

“Kevin, a double Ballon d’Or winner, was a much loved husband, father and grandfather,” the statement read. “The family would like to thank Kevin’s incredible medical team for all their support. This is a hugely difficult time and they are requesting space and privacy.”
Keegan enjoyed a remarkable playing career with Scunthorpe United, Liverpool, Hamburg, Southampton and Newcastle United. He won two Ballon d’Or awards and became one of England’s greatest footballers.
After retiring as a player, he managed Newcastle United, Fulham, England and Manchester City.

Newcastle United led the tributes, describing Keegan as one of the club’s most loved and influential figures.
“Kevin was more than a legendary footballer and manager. He was the beating heart of Newcastle United for generations of supporters,” the club said.
Liverpool also paid tribute, saying his remarkable contribution to the club would never be forgotten, while German side Hamburg described him as one of football’s defining figures.
The Football Association and Manchester City also expressed their condolences to Keegan’s family.

Beyond Limits Academy coach Olumide Ajibolade is being considered for the head coach job at former Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) champions Remo Stars.
Remo Stars had a difficult 2025/26 season. After winning the NPFL title two years ago under Daniel Ogunmodede, the club struggled badly and finished 17th on the league table, narrowly avoiding relegation.
Ogunmodede spent much of the season away with the Super Eagles, where he served as an assistant coach, while also attending coaching courses.

The club later appointed Usman Abdallah to help improve results, but he could not lift the team higher up the table. After the season ended, Ogunmodede left to become the new head coach of Kano Pillars, while Abdallah also departed.
Remo Stars have since been searching for a new manager, and Ajibolade is now the leading candidate for the position.
Ajibolade joined the Remo Stars project as the club’s Under-17 coach in 2019 before taking charge of Beyond Limits Academy in 2021.

He has enjoyed great success with the academy, winning several titles, including The Creative Championship (TCC), the Ogun State FA Cup, the Viareggio Cup and the 2026 Gothia Cup.
The coach also guided Beyond Limits to promotion to the NPFL in 2024, showing his ability to lead teams to success.
At national team level, Ajibolade has worked as an assistant coach with Nigeria’s youth teams. He was appointed assistant to Manu Garba in 2024 and currently serves as the first assistant coach to Golden Eaglets head coach Eboboritse Uwejamomere.
If appointed, Ajibolade will be expected to help Remo Stars rebuild and challenge for a return to the top positions in the NPFL.
Kevin Keegan, one of English football’s most iconic figures, has died at the age of 75 after battling stage four cancer.The news was confirmed by Newcastle United, the club where Keegan became a legend both as a player and manager. Last month, Keegan had publicly revealed that he had been diagnosed with stage four cancer.“One of the most iconic, influential and deeply loved figures in our club’s history,” Newcastle said in a tribute.
A two-time Ballon d’Or winner, Keegan enjoyed a glittering playing career that saw him captain England, lift the European Cup with Liverpool and become one of only four Englishmen to win football’s most prestigious individual honour.Beyond his achievements on the pitch, Keegan became a cultural icon during the 1970s. His trademark perm hairstyle inspired footballers across Europe, while his celebrity status extended into television, music and advertising. He released the single “Head Over Heels in Love,” appeared in an aftershave commercial alongside heavyweight boxing great Henry Cooper and regularly featured on television shows.Keegan was also among the first high-profile English footballers to move abroad when he left Liverpool for German club Hamburger SV in 1977 after winning the European Cup.“For Hamburg fans he will remain above all a crowd favorite, an exceptional player, and one of the best footballers ever to wear the rhombus (crest) on his chest,” the Bundesliga club said.His move to Germany proved hugely successful. Keegan won the Ballon d’Or in 1978 and 1979 while at Hamburg, helping the club lift the Bundesliga title in 1979 before reaching the 1980 European Cup final, where they were beaten by Nottingham Forest.“Hamburger SV will always cherish the memory of its former championship-winning player and two-time Ballon d’Or winner,” the German club added.Born in Doncaster on February 14, 1951, Keegan began his professional career with Scunthorpe before joining Liverpool in 1971. Under legendary manager Bill Shankly, he formed a prolific strike partnership with John Toshack, helping the Reds secure the league and UEFA Cup double in 1973.During his six-year stay at Anfield, Keegan won three league titles, an FA Cup, two UEFA Cups and the club’s first European Cup in 1977. In that final against Borussia Monchengladbach, he won the penalty that Phil Neal converted in Liverpool’s 3-1 victory.“His legacy at Liverpool will be forever etched in history,” the club said. “He was regarded as a hero wherever he went.”After returning to England from Germany, Keegan joined Southampton, where he finished as the First Division’s leading scorer with 30 goals in the 1981-82 season before moving to Newcastle United, the club he supported through his father.His tireless work rate and infectious personality quickly made him a fan favourite at St James’ Park before he retired in 1984. He briefly returned to action the following year for two guest appearances with Australian side Blacktown.On the international stage, Keegan scored 21 goals in 63 appearances for England. He captained the national team at Euro 1980 and represented his country at the 1982 FIFA World Cup, his only appearance at football’s biggest tournament after England failed to qualify for the 1974 and 1978 editions.Keegan later enjoyed a memorable managerial career that lasted from 1992 to 2008. His greatest achievement on the touchline came at Newcastle, where he guided the club from the second division to the brink of the Premier League title in the 1995-96 season.That campaign became famous for both Newcastle’s attacking football, which earned them the nickname “The Entertainers”, and Keegan’s emotional television outburst directed at Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson.“You can tell him now, we’re still fighting for this title. And he’s got to go to Middlesbrough and get something. And I’ll tell you … honestly … I will love it if we beat them, love it,” Keegan said.Despite leading the table by 12 points in February, Newcastle eventually finished four points behind Ferguson’s Manchester United.Keegan also managed Fulham, England and Manchester City. His spell as England manager lasted from 1999 to 2000 and ended after a 1-0 defeat to Germany in a World Cup qualifier at the old Wembley Stadium. He famously informed Football Association officials of his resignation during an emotional conversation inside a toilet cubicle.He returned for a second spell at Newcastle in 2008 but resigned after nine months following a breakdown in his relationship with club owner Mike Ashley. He never returned to management, instead remaining involved in football through television punditry.Keegan leaves behind an enduring legacy as one of England’s greatest footballers, a pioneering Ballon d’Or winner, an unforgettable manager and one of the sport’s most charismatic personalities.

Crowd boos, player snub and failed photobomb: Donald Trump’s big World Cup day out
Argentina weren’t the only ones misbehaving after the match. What was Donald Trump doing? Kieran Jackson recaps the president’s big day out:
Pep Guardiola has reportedly emerged as Italy’s top choice for the national team job after holding talks with football legends Paolo Maldini and Leonardo in Barcelona.
According to Sky Sports Italia, Maldini and Leonardo travelled to Spain to meet the former Manchester City manager and discuss the vacant Italy head coach position. The meeting reportedly lasted longer than expected and may have continued throughout the weekend.
Photos of Maldini and Leonardo in Barcelona circulated on social media, fuelling reports that they were trying to convince Guardiola to take charge of the Azzurri.

However, Guardiola has repeatedly said he is enjoying his break from football and is not ready to return to management.
Speaking recently, the 55-year-old explained that he wanted to step away from the game to focus on his personal life.
“From a mental standpoint, I don’t miss anything at all,” Guardiola said.
Advertisement
He added that he wanted to spend more time with his children and his 95-year-old father while adjusting to life away from football.
Although Italy see Guardiola as their preferred candidate, his decision to remain on sabbatical has made any potential move difficult.
The Italian Football Federation is also considering other options. Former Italy coach Roberto Mancini and Juventus legend Andrea Pirlo have both been linked with the role, while recent reports claim Antonio Conte has already reached an agreement to become the new Italy manager.
Guardiola has also been mentioned as a possible future England coach following the Three Lions’ disappointing World Cup campaign, with several football pundits suggesting he could replace Thomas Tuchel if the role becomes available.
