CRISTIANO RONALDO did NOT vote in the Fifa Best Awards, despite international captains being entitled to do so. The 38-year-old skippered Portugal at the World Cup in Qatar, and there has been no announcement since to suggest that he has been stripped of the armband.

Injuries have prevented the 22-year-old making a first-team start this season Emile Smith Rowe made his return to action on Monday night as he started for the Arsenal Under-21s against Chelsea. It’s an incredibly frustrating season for the 22-year-old, who has had just 63 minutes of first-team action and is yet to make a start for Mikel Arteta’s side this campaign. Groin surgery in September kept Smith Rowe out until January, when he made his return off the bench in the FA Cup against Oxford. A thigh injury has kept him out for another six weeks though, with Leandro Trossard providing the only real depth in…

With his quick and silver tongue and boyish charm, Hollywood stalwart Robert Downey Jr. has made a career in film out of knowing just what to say and when to say it. Going all the way back to the mid-80s when he starred in films like Weird Science, Back to School, and even a season on Saturday Night Live, it was Downey who had the perfect timing to deliver a witty barb. Since then, his career has evolved into more dramatic roles, but there’s always a hint of that jokester with the winsome smile that underscores most of the actor’s performances. He made one of…

Despite making several Fantastic Four and X-Men movies, Fox never had the two teams crossover, something that the MCU is already fixing. Fox had plans for an X-Men and Fantastic Four movie crossover that ended up never happening, but now, Marvel’s most famous superhero families can finally work together in the MCU.

Still, regardless of the 15-year-old foundation built by the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the arrival…

Suddenly cracks are starting to appear. Thus far, Chelsea’s co-controlling owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital have been unwavering in their support for manager Graham Potter.

Liverpool can only watch on enviously at one elite trait Erik ten Hag has instilled, but Jürgen Klopp will soon be able to emulate the Marcus Rashford threat. Last week, Liverpool’s arch-rival Manchester United beat Barcelona 2-1 to book a place in the Europa League round of 16. It has since triumphed in the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United, but it is the continental outing that offers a more telling insight into the task now facing Jürgen Klopp. The first leg at Camp Nou had finished as a 2-2 draw, with Marcus Rashford and a Jules Koundé own goal…

Diogo Jota is still getting used to performing with Cody Gakpo, and Jürgen Klopp’s words have suggested the Liverpool pair still have things to work on. Jürgen Klopp’s attacking players are still getting used to Cody Gakpo in a Liverpool shirt. The Dutchman arrived from PSV Eindhoven as a new signing last month and since then, he’s been getting to grips with life on English shores while occupying an unfamiliar role on the pitch. Rather than being deployed on the left flank, Gakpo has been fielded through the center. It is early days, but it looks as though the plan…

Fernandes had a good opportunity to make it 3-0 in the closing moments, but his shot was palmed away by Loris Karius. The 28-year-old had options on either side of him when he took the shot, including Jadon Sancho in a good position, which Casemiro angrily pointed out to…
