France double chance against Germany 4/9 for Tuesday’s European Championship showdown

Saber Interactive’s Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is roughly five weeks away, and the team is currently working on optimization and bug fixes. Unfortunately, this means it won’t have a public online beta before the game’s launch.

A new Steam Community post clarified that the previously-announced beta “would take the development teams away from preparinSA Lottog for the full launch, and our priority is to ensure the best possible experience at release.” It acknowledged the disappointment among fans and promised a limited Porphyr Shield Bolt Pistol skin for those who registered before June 28th.

On the bright side, the title will feature dedicated servers when i…

Star Wars Outlaws’ biggest update, Title Update 1.4, is now available on all platforms. It brings sweeping changes to stealth, combat, enemy AI, and more while offering extensive freedom to tackle missions as players see fit.

As noted in the last Dev Update, nearly all quest objectives have had forced stealth removed, which means you’ll no longer fail if caught. Of course, you also have more options, like sneaking around Syndicate territories and reaching for your blaster. Combat has been revamped to add weak points to enemies, more utility for Kay’s Blaster Modules, and allow more time for using two-handed weapons dropped by enemies.

Enemy AI and detection are also improved, and while their damage per shot is down, the damage cadence wi…

Werder Bremen are scouring the market for candidates to replace sacked head coach Viktor Skripnik, according to sporting director Frank Baumann.

Skripnik was dismissed after Werder lost 4-1 at Borussia Monchengladbach, leaving them bottom of the Bundesliga and without a point from the first three matches of the season.

With the match at home to Mainz on Wednesday fast approaching, Alexander Nouri has taken over the first team on an interim basis, as the club seeks a long-term replacement.

Viktor proved his quality but we had to make a decision on Saturday, Baumann told a news conference.

Alex will be in charge for Wednesday s game but I can t say how many more after that. 

We re scouring the market and will hold talks with suitable candidates.…

Sevilla have won the race for the highly coveted Oscar Rodriguez, who arrives from Real Madrid on a five-year deal.

Oscar, 22, will reportedly cost Sevilla €16million for 75 per cent of his ownership rights, with Madrid retaining the remaining 25 per cent.

The gifted midfielder came through Madrid s academy but had spent the two previous seasons on loan with Leganes in LaLiga, helping them to preserve their top-flight status in 2018-19.

Leganes were unable to repeat the feat in 2019-20 as they were relegated on the final day of the season, but Oscar still managed to enjoy a fine campaign individually.

 , primer refuerzo del para la temporada 20/21. 

¡Bienvenido, Óscar!

Cole Palmer’s four-goal haul in Chelsea’s thumping 6-0 win over Everton at Stamford Bridge was overshadowed by what Mauricio Pochettino called “unacceptable” behaviour as two of his players were involved in a physical altercation over who should take a penalty.

The home side were four goals up in the second half when Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke caused the unsavoury scene that left their manager feeling the need to apologise to fans watching the game around the world.

Palmer, the club’s appointed penalty taker, finally took charge following intervention from the captain Conor Gallagher, recovering his composure to score his fourth of the game and move on to 20 Premier League goals for the season.

PALMER TUCKS IT AWAY FOR HIS FOURTH! INCREDIBLE!

Midfielder Stuart O Keefe has left Crystal Palace to sign for Championship club Cardiff City on a two-and-a-half-year deal.

Stuart O Keefe has ended his Crystal Palace tenure after more than four years with the club and agreed a move to Cardiff City.

The 23-year-old midfielder is now under contract at the Cardiff City Stadium until the end of the 2017-18 campaign, having fallen out of favour at Selhurst Park. 

Following his move from Southend in 2010, O Keefe made 51 appearances for Palace, but is now tasked with helping Cardiff push on from mid-table obscurity.

I m really happy to be a Cardiff City player, O Keefe told the club s official website.

I enjoyed my four years at Palace but I wanted to come here now for a new challenge. I m 23 …

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expressed his shock at beating Bayern Munich counterpart Hansi Flick to The Best FIFA Men s Coach award.

Flick was considered the favourite for the gong ahead of Thursday s ceremony after guiding Bayern to a Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal and Champions League treble last term.

But Klopp, who oversaw the Reds Premier League title success in 2019-20, ending a 30-year wait for a top-flight championship, beat his compatriot to take the prize for a second successive year. Leeds United s Marcelo Bielsa came third.

The Liverpool boss accepted he was probably fortunate to see off competition from Flick.

I m grateful for it, obviously, he told reporters on Friday. From the first moment, like everybody else, I was looking at it a bit wide-eye…

Declan Rice believes the stern criticism England received ahead of the World Cup allowed them to play with fire in our bellies in Monday s 6-2 thrashing of Iran.

Gareth Southgate s team faced heavy scrutiny following their humiliating Nations League relegation in September, having failed to win any of their six games in the competition.

However, they cast aside any doubts over their form by recording England s biggest win in an opening match at any major tournament.

Jude Bellingham, Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford and Jack Grealish scored and Bukayo Saka added a double at the Khalifa International Stadium.

There were doubts about us before the tournament and we wanted to prove a lot of people wrong, Rice said.

There has been a lot of talk abou…

Sergio Busquets has admitted that his success at Barcelona has taken him by surprise.

The 24-year-old made his first-team debut in 2008 and has since become a key cog in the midfield, winning three La Liga titles as well as two Champions League trophies along the way.

Busquets said he never expected to become such an important player at the club or win so many trophies.

Everything has gone by so quickly and the truth is I never imagined I’d win so many titles, the Spain international told reporters.

I m very happy. My role has been important, I ve played a lot, and I would never have imagined it. I hope I ll have many more years with Barca and win many more titles.

Busquets then discussed the importance of fellow midfielder Thiago Alcantara,…

Chelsea begin the defence of their UEFA Champions League title with a tough Group E fixture against Italian outfit Juventus on Wednesday.

Chelsea who were not at their best in the English Premier League throughout last season surprised the football world with a series of terrific aggregate wins in the competition before defeating Bayern Munich on penalties in the final.

It was the first time the West London club had been crowned champions of Europe, something which will make their task of defending their title almost impossible according to manager Roberto Di Matteo.

Every opposition is going to play with extra motivation against the holders, Di Matteo said.

So it makes our lives more difficult. Even in the Premier League, I m sure (QPR manager) Mark H…
