Theo Hernandez mencatatkan namanya di papan skor pada laga semifinal Piala Dunia 2022. Bek kiri milik AC Milan itu memecah kebuntuan saat laga baru berjalan lima menit. Theo yang bergerak bebas di sisi kiri lepas dari kawalan pemain Maroko. Ia kemudian menyambar bola liar dan berhasil menaklukkan kiper Yassine Bounou. Gol yang dicetaknya menjadi kebobolan pertama Maroko selain gol bunuh diri. Berkat golnya itu pula, Prancis menguasai jalannya laga dan menang 2-0. Gol yang dicetak Theo pun sontak mendapatkan pujian dari dua rekan setimnya di AC Milan, Olivier Giroud dan Rafael Leao. Mereka memuji permainan apik Theo.

(Photo by Visionhaus/Getty Images) Cristiano Ronaldo's return to Manchester United isn't going as planned. Things escalated Sunday, as Ronaldo ripped the team during an interview with The Sun's Piers Morgan.  The Sun released a clip of the interview Sunday, in which Ronaldo said he felt "betrayed" by Manchester United.  Ronaldo called out "the coach" and then "the other two or three guys there around the club." Morgan asked if Ronaldo was talking about club senior executives. Ronaldo responded by saying yes.  Ronaldo continued to criticize Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, saying, "I don’t have respect for him because he doesn’t show respect for me," per the Sun. "If you don’t have respect for me, I’m never gonna have respect for you. If you don’t have respect for me, I’m never

England World Cup 2022 squad guide: Full fixtures, group, ones to watch, odds and more

  Can Harry Kane lead England to World Cup success? (REUTERS) Expectations are high, and hopes even higher, that England can pull off another superb run at a major tournament after reaching the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup and the final of Euro 2020. Manager Gareth Southgate has instilled a confidence in his squad which has brought a belief that England can finally win the World Cup again. That confidence is also reflected in the betting markets with the Three Lions third favourites to lift the trophy behind Brazil and France. Yet faith in Southgate and his squad is not as strong as it was after England stumbled through this year’s Nations League campaign. No wins in six games with two defeats to Hungary and relegation from League A has put a sour note on Southgate’s time in charge and sends England heading into this important World Cup campaign on rocky footing. The pressure to perform well has increased and the manager’s decision-making, on and off the field, will be more firmly

Traits that made Cristiano Ronaldo great now hasten his painful decline

  Cristiano Ronaldo trained alone on Friday. In a way it was the perfect image: a footballer who perhaps more than any other embodies the trope of the individual superstar, the idea that one man can do it on his own, doing it on his own. The television cameras were there to film his arrival and they were there a few hours later to film Erik ten Hag as he weathered a squall of Cristiano-related questions. The soap opera continues. But for now the football career is on hold. Ronaldo will not feature for Manchester United against Chelsea on Saturday afternoon. He has been suspended for storming down the tunnel after refusing to come on as a substitute against Tottenham on Wednesday. The word is that United will again try to move him on in the January transfer window, and may even pay him to leave. Perhaps we should have known that this was how it would end from the moment Ronaldo returned last autumn in a blizzard of ticker-tape and social media numbers. But nobody involved – not United,

Real Madrid more mature than Barca, says Xavi after Clasico loss

  Barcelona coach Xavi said Real Madrid beat his team in the Clasico because they were more mature. Los Blancos earned a 3-1 win at the Santiago Bernabeu to replace Barca at the top of La Liga on Sunday, moving three points clear of their Catalan rivals. The defeat came after a draw with Inter Milan in the Champions League which leaves Barcelona on the verge of a second successive group stage elimination. "They beat us on maturity, in knowing how to compete," Xavi told a press conference. "We competed worse than our opponents, that's why we lost the game. They are a team that's more mature than ours at this moment." Barcelona signed various players in the summer, including La Liga's top goalscorer Robert Lewandowski, Jules Kounde and Raphinha. Real Madrid's side is more settled, with the only player starting the Clasico not at the club last season being midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni. Madrid moved ahead through Karim Benzema after Vinicius Junior got
