Bamford receives first England call-up for World Cup qualifiers

J.League club Urawa Reds have officially announced that Mihailo Petrovic will be the club s next manager.

The 2007 Asian Champions League winners finished a dismal 15th in 2011 after firing manager Zeljko Petrovic with just five matches remaining.

Caretaker Takafumi Hori barely suceeded in avoiding relegation by winning just two games, but supporters were far from satisfied with the result and club chairman Mitsuo Hashimoto s traditional end-of-season speech was drowned out by boos and chants demanding he resign.

Serbian Petrovic, who also holds an Austrian passport, took over at Sanfrecce Hiroshima in June 2006.

Although the team lost their promotion/relegation series in 2007, Petrovic led them back to the top division by sweeping through J2 in 2008. …

Diego Milito says Manchester City s Carlos Tevez would be a welcome addition to Inter s attack.

Tevez is expected to join AC Milan during the January transfer window but Inter remain in the hunt for the Argentine ace and Milito is hoping that his compatriot ends up at Appiano Gentile.

He s a great champion, the 32-year-old striker told Sky Sport Italia. I certainly don t have to be told that.

I ve played with him and I can only say that he would be a great additional weapon for us.

Milito was last month named as Serie A s Bidone d Oro (Golden Bin) for 2011 after a dreadfully barren spell in front of goal over the past year.

However, after netting twice in the crushing 5-0 win over Parma at San Siro on Saturday night a game in which Giampaolo …

At The Game Awards last December, a reboot of the beloved Crazy Taxi franchises was one of five major games that Sega announced at once, and now, the company has provided some more details on what you can expect from the game. Sega has uploaded a new Japanese recruitment video focused on the Crazy Taxi reboot, talking about the game’s development, what it is envisioned at, what players can expect from it, and more.

As per details in the video as well as a number of lob listings (via Automaton Media), Crazy Taxi is going to be a fully open world game, while, as some prior leaks and reports have suggested, it’s also going to be a live service, “massively multiplayer” experience. As per the video, the game will be set…

Firewalk Studios’ Concord launched roughly two weeks ago to very little notable response. Sales allegedly sit at around 25,000 copies, while the overall critical response is seemingly one giant “meh” with a 62 Metascore based on 40 critical reviews.

It quickly became known as “This took how many years to develop?” and “It had how many peak concurrent players on Steam?”. There were expectations that it would chug along with its roadmap and add that promised cosmetic store with microtransactions, oblivious to plummeting player counts. However, in a recent PlayStation Blog post, Firewalk announced the unexpected – Concord is being pulled from storefronts on September 6th.

Not only will all custome…

As we’ve seen more than a few times over the years (including with some pretty recent and rather prominent examples), there’s never any guarantees that a hero shooter – or really, any live service experience – is going to be able to find any kind of success. If, however, you promise the bones of a legitimately well-made multiplayer experience, and add a major license on top of that, you certainly give yourself a much better shot. Marvel Rivals has certainly checked both of those boxes in the lead-up to its release, and has continued to look like a genuinely promising hero shooter that allows players to live out their Marvel power fantasies in a bombastic multiplayer experience. Ahead of its imminent release, here, we’re goin…

Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) has rejected claims by former Premier League official Mark Halsey that he was asked to alter the way he reported incidents of misconduct during games.

Halsey s remarks came on the back of the three-match suspension handed to Manchester City s Sergio Aguero for elbowing West Ham defender Winston Reid.

Aguero was punished retrospectively, with referee Andre Marriner not mentioning the incident in his match report, after City s appeal proved unsuccessful.

Any incident seen by a match official and not acted upon during the game cannot then be punished by the Football Association (FA) and while discussing the situation on Twitter, Halsey who retired in 2013 claimed that he had been asked in the past to say he had n…

Roy Hodgson loved talking about the future. England s bright future was always just around the corner. Even as he announced his departure following the humiliating Euro 2016 loss to supposed minnows Iceland, the 68-year-old spoke about the exciting future this sleeping giant of a footballing nation had to look forward to.

It s little wonder his gaze was fixed straight ahead, honed in on some mirage of greatness just on the horizon. If he d bothered to look behind, Hodgson would have been presented with a reality less palatable for someone intent on creating a legacy.

England had failed twice before at major tournaments under his dubious guidance. At least at Euro 2012 it was against credible opposition in the shape of Italy, and even then only on penalties. Two year…

Marco Silva believes that Jordan Pickford proved his quality in Everton s win over Chelsea, following a poor display against Newcastle United last time out.

Despite saving a penalty, Pickford made several errors in Everton s 3-2 defeat at St James Park, and was fortunate not to get sent off in the incident leading up to Newcastle s spot-kick.

But Pickford, making his 100th Premier League appearance, put in an assured performance on Sunday as Everton bounced back with a 2-0 victory over Maurizio Sarri s side, making five saves to conserve a second successive home clean sheet.

And though acknowledging that Pickford must add consistency to his game, Silva – who challenged the 25-year-old to show more emotional balance in his pre-match news conference – had no do…

Prediction: Manchester City to win and both teams to score

Odds:

Bookmaker:

New Leicester City manager Claude Puel will be given his harshest examination of his credentials at the weekend as his team welcome table-topping Manchester City to the King Power Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The East-Midlanders will look to halt the Sky Blues excellent run of form in recent months.

Leicester City

It is fair to suggest that Leicester City have enjoyed a new manager bounce since the sacking of Craig Shakespeare last month. The Foxes have won three out of their last four games in all competitions, reaching the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup in the process. Their positive form stretches back even further than too Leicester have only lost one out of their las…
