What’s going on with Odegaard?
It is often claimed the captain is the beating heart that fully embodies a team and it certainly was the case with Martin Odegaard and Arsenal against Paris Saint-Germain. Both were underwhelming.The Champions League semi-final loss in north London was not the display envisaged after the high standards set by the quarter-final triumph over Real Madrid. It was Arsenal's biggest game of the season and the performance of the Gunners' skipper was alarming. The Norwegian failed to have a shot and created just one chance, despite being the creative fulcrum of Arsenal's team. His influence was summarised by just four forward passes all game - his midfield partners in Mikel Merino and Declan Rice managed 20 between them. But Odegaard's ineffectual performance was not a complete surprise - there have been concerns about the midfielder's levels for some time.The Norwegian […]
Explaining Potter’s West Ham – the numbers behind a horror start
"You're nothing special, we lose every week."West Ham fans were in full gallows humour mode at the Amex Stadium and the above chant was heard - and applauded by the home fans - when Yasan Ayari gave Brighton the lead with his beautiful, curled shot past Alphonse Areola. Most of the chanting by the travelling West Ham fans was about Niclas Fullkrug. The first song was about how they have a big German. The second one was about wanting him on the pitch - and the third one turned to his recent, scathing interview about on-field performances.

Athletic Club’s Europa League dream was shredded in 15 mad minutes – so what now?
It all seemed to be going to plan for Athletic Club.All through the day around the city, then in the streets near the stadium, and finally inside the ground as the Europa League semi-final against Manchester United began, there was a real sense of opportunity. The competition’s final is taking place in Bilbao and Athletic looked ready to seize their moment.The scenes in Bilbao are spectacular 😍 pic.twitter.com/2sOGZS1owM— Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) May 1, 2025There were huge roars at a heaving San Mames when Ernesto Valverde’s side won a corner inside two minutes. The Basques were snapping into tackles all over the pitch, pressing United back and making chances.Inside two minutes Alex Berengeur hit a 20 yarder which was pushed around the post by Andre Onana. Nico Williams soon dispossessed a stumbling Harry Maguire in the United half, and […]
„Überrascht mich sehr“ – Hamann-Kritik wegen Bayern-Transfer
Unverständnis bei Didi Hamann (51).Vor wenigen Tagen wurde bekannt, dass Eric Dier (31) den FC Bayern zum Saisonende verlassen wird. Nach BILD-Informationen ist sein ablösefreier Wechsel zur AS Monaco bereits fix. Für Sky-Experte Hamann ist es völlig unverständlich, warum die Münchner nicht stärker um einen Verbleib von Dier bemüht waren. In seiner „Sky“-Kolumne schreibt er: „Das überrascht mich sehr. Ich dachte, dass eine Vertragsverlängerung mit ihm Formsache ist.“ Lesen Sie auch<!-->[-->Dann kritisiert er: „Vielleicht hätte Bayern da etwas kreativer sein müssen. Dier wurde in der Rückrunde gebraucht, ist auf dem Platz selten bis nie negativ aufgefallen. Das ist für mich immer das beste Zeichen als Innenverteidiger bei Bayern München.

Jalen Brunson and the shot that may have saved the Knicks as we know them
DETROIT — We may never know just how important Jalen Brunson’s shot actually was. That’s the beauty of such brilliance. In this world, a flick of a wrist can turn gray skies crystal blue.

One person, one moment, can change the course of reality.AdvertisementKevin Durant’s toe kissing the 3-point line in a Game 7 playoff matchup in 2021 against the Milwaukee Bucks sent the Brooklyn Nets spiraling. On the other end of the spectrum, Kawhi Leonard’s four-bounce game winner against the 76ers in Game 7 of a second-round playoff series in 2019 led to Canada being home to the world champions for the first time ever.The difference of an inch, and history is remembered differently.On the surface, what Brunson did Thursday night in Detroit, hitting a game-winning 3 […]
