Euro 2012: Shevchenko wary of Rooney threat

Ukraine talisman Andriy Shevchenko has admitted that the imminent return of Wayne Rooney to England s starting XI will make it very difficult for the co-hosts to KO the Three Lions.

I know Rooney is a very good player and someone who can change the team, so we ll have to see what happens if he plays. He has not played for a month now, he told Goal.com.

Roy Hodgson s side have done ever so well without the services of the Manchester United man.

Striker duo Andy Carroll and Danny Welbeck both found the back of the net during Friday s Group D clash against Sweden.

Many believe that the performances of Carroll and Welbeck have given Hodgson a selection headache ahead of England s match versus Ukraine. This notion is absolutely absurd.

Camavinga set for big summer in 2021

According to a recent report from Marca, Rennes star Eduardo Camavinga is set for a lot of offers from clubs next summer.

The youngster is the name on everyone’s lips when it comes to summer 2021, and it’s not like Rennes are going to be short of options. Real Madrid have long since been viewed as the favourites to secure his signature but now, it’s starting to look like Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are going to enter the conversation, too.

There are always going to be a lot of moving parts with a player like Camavinga, if only because nobody really knows when he s going to be at the peak of his powers. Sure, he s an exciting prospect, but having only just turned 18 there is bound to be an incredible amount of pressure on his shoulders. Now, the quest…

Talking Tactics: Which Team Has The Edge Ahead Of 2019 Copa Libertadores Final?

The football world in South America will stop for roughly two hours this Saturday, as Lima will host the 2019 Copa Libertadores Final. Reigning champions River Plate and Brazilian giants Flamengo will go head to head to claim one of the biggest club titles in the world. River will aim to win their second straight Libertadores title, while Flamengo will aim to lift the trophy for the first time since 1981.

Flamengo have a clear edge since they enter this game on a 25-game undefeated streak in all competitions (W20, D5) – they have kept a clean sheet in 13 of those contests and have been in sizzling scoring form. However, River Plate can’t be taken for granted. They have been the most successful side in the decade, and aim to win their third title in five years following the …

Premier League review: 10th November 2012

Javier Hernandez was the super sub for Manchester United, as the Mexican helped his side come back from two goals down to beat Villa 3-2.

Saturday’s Premier League action produced a host of goals as usual.

One of the games of the day saw Arsenal and Fulham draw 3-3 at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners took the lead on 11 minutes, Oliver Giroud beating Aaron Hughes to the ball to head home Theo Walcott’s corner.

German international striker Lukas Podolski flicked Arsenal into a two goal lead on 23 minutes, after being setup by Mikel Arteta. Fulham were back in the game in the 29th minute, Dimitar Berbatov heading home Bryan Ruiz’s corner when left completely unmarked.

Fulham were back on level terms in the 40th minute, as substitute Alex Kac…

Liverpool announce £9m loss for 2022-23 season

Liverpool made a pre-tax loss of £9million last season as increased commercial income did not offset a drop in money made from media and matchday revenues.

The previous 12 months had produced a small profit of £7.5m.

Liverpool’s biggest income stream in 2022-23 was the £272million, up £25m, generated from off-field income but a last-16 Champions League exit a year after reaching the final meant television money dropped by £19m to £242m.

Matchday revenue also fell by £7m due to fewer games being played across last season after the previous campaign when the club played in every fixture – a total of 63 – they were eligible for, winning both domestic cups and reaching the Champions League final.

While overall revenue remained the same at £594m,…

Vikings vs Cardinals Week 2 Picks and Predictions: Don't Jump Ship On Minny This Sunday

The Arizona Cardinals absolutely whooped the Tennessee Titans in Week 1, and they’ll now look to make it two in a row when they host the Minnesota Vikings at State Farm Stadium in Week 2.

While the Cardinals are flying high, Minnesota suffering a disappointing loss last Sunday and will be hoping to avoid an 0-2 start — albeit the Vikings will have to do it as an NFL betting underdog.

Cowboys vs Titans TNF Prop Bets: Elliott Continues to Find Paydirt

The final Thursday night game of the season features the 10-point favorite Dallas Cowboys traveling to Nashville to take on Malik Willis and the Tennessee Titans. The home side has nothing to play for this week, as its Week 18 matchup with the Jaguars will determine the AFC South winner. 

Because of this, bettors won’t be seeing many player prop markets open early, if at all. But fear not, there is still some value out there in the touchdown market, and I have a +3,300 banger that I absolutely love Thursday night.

Here are my player prop picks for Thursday Night Football’s battle between the Cowboys and Titans. 

Also, be sure to check out Jason Logan’s full Cowboys vs. Titans betting preview and Jared Hochman’s CeeDee Lamb prop pic…

How to Stream Broncos vs Chiefs Live Free — in the U.S.

Does the theory of “any given Sunday” also apply to Thursday Night Football? The Denver Broncos are certainly hoping so. Denver has lost 15 straight games to the Kansas City Chiefs dating back to 2015, and enters tonight’s skirmish at Arrowhead Stadium as a heavy 10.5-point underdog. The last time these two teams tangled was on New Year’s Day, when KC pulled off a narrow 27-24 win thanks to a huge performance from Patrick Mahomes, who threw for 328 yards and three touchdowns.

While there are a number of different subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to watch this game, did you know that you can also live stream Broncos vs. Chiefs directly from legal sports betting sites?

Caesars, BetRivers, and Fanatics Sportsbook are three of our mo…

Chargers vs Broncos Odds, Picks, and Predictions Week 17: Odds on Stidham Far Too Tall

It’s Easton Stick vs. Jarrett Stidham tonight in Week 17 as the Los Angeles Chargers visit the Denver Broncos, who are moving on from Russell Wilson in what should be called a business decision. The Broncos and Stidham still enter as a 3.5-point favorite — down from -5.5 earlier in the week and before the announcement.

It’s never easy for books to set totals with new quarterbacks, but they got it wrong with the opening line on Stidham’s rushing yards basing it off a small sample size from last season. It’s time to hit that Under in what could be an ugly game. 

I break down the Week 17 NFL odds and offer my free NFL picks for Chargers vs. Broncos on Sunday, December 31.
