Pogba putting Euro 2016 disappointment behind him with United move

Paul Pogba says his long-awaited return to Manchester United has brought him back to his happy place following Euro 2016 disappointment with France.

Pobga was a key member of France s squad as they attempted to claim the European Championship on home soil, but fell short at the last hurdle, losing the final 1-0 to Portugal after extra time.

The Frenchman struggled in the final as Eder proved the unlikely hero for Portugal in extra time, and while Pogba was left despondent in defeat with the national team, he was happy to put the loss behind him as well as months of transfer speculation to focus on a new start at United in his second stint with the club.

It was a bit of sadness of course, because we lost the final at home, Pogba told MUTV.

But I would s…

Dutch are not right on time for arrival at Euro 2008

The Dutch squad arrived for Euro 2008 in Geneva on Tuesday albeit rather later than planned after heavy traffic round Amsterdam delayed their departure.

Five of the 23 man squad part of an overall delegation of 46 were held up and forced the team to delay their plane.

The Dutch are in the Group of Death Group C and open their campaign against world champions It…

Ballon d´Or 2018: The story of Luka Modric´s magnificent career

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo made the Ballon d Or their own personal property over the past decade.

In the end, the wait for the next superstar to tear it from their grasp proved misguided.

Real Madrid and Croatia midfielder Luka Modric is a performer of quiet brilliance, his story one of persistence.

It is tale that has taken him painstakingly to the summit of global football.

BALLON D OR 2018

Three in a row – the first time

Modric honed his skills as a youngster in Zadar, initially against the backdrop of a war-torn Croatia, and his slight frame meant sceptics had to be overcome. A trial with Hajduk Split was unsuccessful due to concerns over his size, but the loss of Modric s boyh…

Inspecting West Ham’s woeful transfer record in 2016/17

West Ham boss Slaven Bilic is under-pressure following the Hammers poor form

West Ham United’s season appears to be petering out with the London club having gone five games without a win in the Premier League, losing their last three.

Manager Slaven Bilic finds himself under pressure as a result of such inconsistency and questions are being asked of the recruitment policy given how much money has been spent on mediocre talent.

The Hammers infamously spent the summer courting a top-name striker, putting all their effort into bolstering the attack. But it amounted to nothing and resulted in a lower-grade of talent coming in instead.

With all eyes falling on Catalonia this weekend, Barcelona wrapped up a first La Liga crown since 2019 as they secured an action-packed 4-2 win against bitter local rivals Espanyol on Sunday night.

With Spanish international defender Jules Kounde eventually wrapping up a season-defining victory at the RCDE Stadium, Barca also cruised their way to Catalonia bragging rights with another trademark La Liga romp.
