Luis Suarez has announced he will retire from international duty, and with his last match for Uruguay just days away, Darwin Nunez paid tribute to his “idol.” With an international career spanning more than 17 years, Suarez decided to step aside and will play his final match for Uruguay against Paraguay on Friday. The ex-Red has scored 69 goals in 142 caps, making him his nation’s all-time top goalscorer, and in a press conference on Monday, he was comforted by the fact he “can retire and not for my injuries to retire me.” And with how much Nunez looks up…

If there was any debate over who Liverpool’s best option was to lead the line under Arne Slot, Diogo Jota has answered it emphatically. Who was Liverpool’s quietest player away to Man United? It was Jota, right? Almost every other Liverpool player made more of an impression, but that’s not to say he didn’t also play well. There was one moment that summed up the subtle brilliance of Jota, however, coming in the lead up to Luis Diaz‘s opener. The No. 20 raced towards goal as Ryan Gravenberch marauded forward, gesturing for the ball to end up at the back…
Mohamed Salah is said to be “desperate” to put pen to paper on a new contract at Liverpool, with no interest in Saudi Arabia and money not the “deciding factor.” Salah’s contract has become a hot topic over the past week, after the No. 11 claimed following Sunday’s 3-0 win at Man United that he had yet to be approached over an extension. One of three key players whose terms expire at the end of the season, the Egyptian provided a timely reminder of his value with a goal and two assists at Old Trafford. That Liverpool have not discussed…
David Moyes is receiving a growing groundswell of support within the Everton boardroom to make a sensational return to the club, sources have told Football Insider.

Moyes was in charge of Everton from 2002 to 2013, when he left the club to take over from Sir Alex Ferguson at Man United. This wouldn’t be the first time that the Scottish manager has returned to a club, as he has had…

Forgotten Arsenal star Kieran Tierney has been included in Mikel Areteta’s squad for the Champions League. The Scotland international was expected to move on this summer before suffering an injury while representing his nation at Euro 2024 in Germany. Tierney has yet to return from the hamstring issue and has remained with Arsenal with the Premier League’s transfer window now shut. Arteta was coy last month when providing an update on his progress. “He needs to focus now on recovering in the best possible way,” the Spaniard said. “It’s been a tough time for him, with the last injury. We…

He is the first British man to reach the last four at Flushing Meadows since Andy Murray lifted the title in 2012. Draper, whose previous best performance at a Major was the fourth round, dispatched the Australian 6-3 7-5 6-2 on what was his debut appearance on the Arthur Ashe Court. He has not dropped a set in New York and his run here is echoing another British success story when Emma Raducanu shocked the world by winning the women’s title in 2021. It is also a welcome boost for the game in the UK following Murray’s recent retirement. After…
