Turkiye 3-1 Georgia: Guler scores stunner in Euro 2024 thriller

Arda Guler scored a sensational goal as Turkiye came out 3-1 victors after a thrilling clash with Georgia at Euro 2024.

The Real Madrid midfielder curled home a stunner from outside the area to put Turkiye 2-1 up midway through the second half and become the youngest player to score on his Euros debut, with Kerem Akturkoglu confirming the win after a wave of Georgia pressure.

Ahead of the encounter in Dortmund, fans from both nations were involved in scenes of violence inside the stadium as torrential weather conditions threatened to postpone Georgia s maiden bow at an international tournament.

Turkiye led in the 25th minute, as Mert Muldur, who had scored just once before for his nation, fired home a goal of the tournament contender with a sweet volley into th…

Neill moves to UAE with eye on 2014 World Cup

Australia skipper Lucas Neill has revealed his move to Al Jazira is all part of his plan to be fit and healthy for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Neill, who will be 36 by the time the Brazil tournament comes around, is expected to officially sign a one-year deal with the UAE champions on Monday after being released by Turkish club Galatasaray earlier in the European summer.

With the World Cup still three years away, the move could be seen as a poor option particularly given Neill said previously he wanted to join a top-level European club after leaving Galatasaray.

However, Neill told The Sunday Age he was thinking about the 2014 World Cup when he decided to join Al Jazira.

I have a three-year plan and, all going well, possibly a year bonus in international f…

England will only get better from the experience of World Cup 2018

England’s World Cup 2018 finished on a somewhat bum note, as the Three Lions suffered a 2-0 defeat against Belgium on Saturday in the third-place play-off. In truth, the game was one that both sides could have done without playing.

However, they played, and Belgium showed their extra class with a victory in the end. The Belgium defeat and other experiences are important to the future of the English national team.

This England team have won the fans back

The critics who claim that England were in the comfortable half of the draw certainly have credence. No doubt Gareth Southgate’s side had an easier route to the semi-final than they could have had. The fact they fell to defeats when facing decent opposition is also a concern.

However, there are more positive…

European giants need to achieve at World 2010

European football giants England, Holland and Spain have all booked their places at World Cup 2010. All three countries have 100 per cent records in their groups and have brushed aside every team that they have played in qualification.

100 per cent records are not the only thing that these three great footballing countries have in common. All three teams are also World Cup underachievers. There is only one World Cup crown between them and that was back in 1966 when England triumphed on home soil.

Holland and Spain have both won European Championships since then. The great Dutch side of the 1980s prevailing in Euro 88 including beating England on the way to glory. Apart from that the Dutch national side has enjoyed limited success at recent major tournaments.

Fiorentina Set To Shine During 2019-20 Serie A Season

Fiorentina were one of the most disappointing teams in the 2018-19 Serie A season. Despite having a talented squad that could have challenged for a European spot, the Viola side ended the campaign near the relegation zone and quite far from what they were looking to achieve. But things might be different during the upcoming season.

Vincenzo Montella wanted to upgrade his squad on both sides of the ball ahead of the 2019/20 season. And with the league campaign set to begin this weekend, it’s safe to say Fiorentina have accomplished that. We only need to take a look at their transfer activity to realize they can be a much better side this time around.

What has been Fiorentina s transfer activity during the summer?

Fiorentina lost Vitor Hugo, Christian Norgaard and Ricc…

Kane usurps Messi as Europe´s top scorer in 2017

Harry Kane s second goal against Southampton saw the Tottenham striker overtake Lionel Messi as Europe s top scorer in 2017 with 55.

The England international scored a hat-trick in Saturday s 3-0 win over Burnley to move to 53 goals for club and country in the calendar year.

That treble put him one behind Barcelona superstar Messi, who earlier that day scored a penalty in his final game of 2017 – a 3-0 defeat of Real Madrid in El Clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Kane moved level with Messi by heading his first against the Saints at Wembley on Tuesday – breaking Alan Shearer s record of 36 Premier League goals in one year in the process.

And a stunning 12 months for the 24-year-old was capped off with his second, a simple tap-in from Son Heung-m…

Southgate hails ´completely different´ Rashford transformation from Euro 2020 to World Cup

Gareth Southgate labelled Marcus Rashford at the World Cup as a completely different player to his England performances during the delayed Euro 2020.

The Manchester United forward missed a spot-kick in the penalty shoot-out in the European Championship final defeat to Italy before a wave of online racial abuse was targeted at Rashford, Bukayo Saka and Jadon Sancho.

Rashford appeared out of form following the Euro 2020 heartbreak but impressive club performances for United ahead of the November break saw him secure a place in Southgate s 26-man squad for Qatar.

The 25-year-old scored as a substitute in the 6-2 victory over Iran and celebrated a brace after starting in Tuesday s 3-0 win over Wales to send England through as Group B winners.

That made Rashfo…
