Forget the upcoming World Cup, the real talking point in international football is Scotland will be in a higher league than England in the next UEFA Nations League. Right? OK, maybe not, but the latest Nations League campaign has thrown up some juicy surprises.
England manager Gareth Southgate has leapt to the defence of under-fire Harry Maguire, suggesting he will continue to select the player despite an avalanche of criticism. The Manchester United star endured a torrid time during England’s dramatic 3-3 draw with Germany at Wembley in the UEFA Nations League, continuing a difficult spell for both club and country for the player. Ad Maguire first gave away a penalty for a reckless challenge on Jamal Musiala before giving the ball away high up the pitch, which ultimately resulted in Kai Havertz doubling the visitors’ lead.
Novak Djokovic wants to follow in the footsteps of Roger Federer by having all his tennis rivals present when he retires. Federer called time on a glittering career at this year’s Laver Cup in London, an event which featured Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray – meaning the ‘Big Four’ who have dominated men’s tennis for the best part of the last two decades were all in attendance. Ad The Swiss superstar with 20 Grand Slams to his name said a teary goodbye after losing a doubles match against Frances Tiafoe and Jack Sock with long-time on-court rival Nadal.

Ad The traditional curtain-raiser to the EWC season, the 24 Heures Motos is one of the biggest and most popular events on motorcycle racing’s international calendar.

Ad Abraham Ancer, Carlos Ortiz, Pat Perez and Jason Kokrak removed their names from the lawsuit earlier in the year, while LIV added its name to the suit.
Golf is back home this week, as the DP World Tour returns to Scotland for the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. Unlike the Open Championship at St Andrews in July, this week’s event looks set to be played in proper Scottish weather with wind and rain on the menu. Ad It is an event the players relish, a Links test in Linksy conditions — while the opportunity to play with friends, family and the odd superstar from outside the world of golf adds to the appeal.
WEDNESDAY’S BIG STORIES Hope for all come the World Cup Ad So that’s your lot, folks. Bar the most random of friendlies – Saudi Arabia playing Albania and Honduras in October – there is no international football until the unprecedented winter World Cup rolls into town.
Atletico keen on Pique The Mirror reports that Atletico Madrid are keen on signing Gerard Pique from Barcelona, with the 35-year-old no longer a regular under Xavi Hernandez.
