Kylian Mbappe is unbothered by his indifferent form at Euro 2024 so far, saying the most important thing is for France to keep winning as they booked a place in the semi-finals.
France and Portugal played out a 0-0 draw in 120 minutes in Hamburg, with Les Bleus staying perfect from the spot in the shootout and progressing thanks to Joao Felix’s missed penalty.
Mbappe is the only Frenchman to score at the tournament so far, netting from the spot, with France’s two wins coming via own goals. However, he does not care how the wins come as long as they keep progressing.
These are the peculiarities of being a footballer, Mbappe said.
But even then, you have to keep up your involvement and always be there for your team-mates.
I ve always said tha…
Cristiano Ronaldo s injury in the Euro 2016 final helped Portugal to claim their first major title, according to former France international Eric Abidal.
The Real Madrid star hobbled off in the first half against France, dealing a blow to Portugal s hopes of victory, but Eder s extra-time strike ultimately clinched the trophy.
And Abidal believes Fernando Santos men played without stress after seeing their talisman injured.
Ronaldo was out because he was injured it was a problem for France and an advantage for Portugal, he told Grup 14.
Portugal were more relaxed without Ronaldo. The players there normally play for Ronaldo, but without him the team spirit is different, there was no stress.
But for France, it was a shock because Ronaldo is not o…

Newly crowned European champions Spain have risen to third in the FIFA world rankings.
The latest rankings were published on Thursday, with World Cup winners Argentina holding on to the top spot following their Copa America triumph.
There were some notable changes to the world rankings after a busy month for football, with Argentina beating Colombia to win the Copa America and Spain defeating England to win Euro 2024.
Euros runners-up England moved up to fourth, leapfrogging Brazil after their underwhelming Copa America campaign.
Venezuela, who reached the Copa America quarter-finals, were the most improved side in the rankings, rising 17 places to 37th.
One of the other big movers were Euros quarter-finalists Turkiye, who jumped 16 places up to 2…
Following Manchester City s 3-1 victory at Swansea City in the FA Cup last Wednesday, Pep Guardiola s side won their 15th successive match.
In doing so, they set a new record for an English top-flight club in all competitions, overtaking the 14-game winning runs of Arsenal and Preston North End in 1987 and 1892, respectively.
They have since extended this streak to 17 after great wins over both Tottenham and Everton in the Premier League.
Back in 2017, it was claimed by some that City had secured 20 wins on the trot, between August 26 and December 3 until they eventually lost 2-1 away at Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League on December 6.
The bone of contention stemmed from the 12th game in this run; a 0-0 draw against Wolves in the EFL Cup, which saw…

Week 8 odds have arrived and as we approach the midway point of the season, some more unique NFL betting trends are starting to take shape.
I tend to prefer the meat and potato variety of full game trends, but some eye-opening trends for individual quarters and halves have developed, and some are simply impossible to ignore. You’ll notice a handful of these trends below with some logic to back them, and I’ll most certainly be pulling the trigger on a few in my other content this week.
Keep in mind that with first quarter trends and first quarter spread and moneyline bets in general, there’s an element of luck involved that doesn’t really impact full-game bets. That element is who receives the ball first. If you bet on a team to cover th…
