The Southampton manager is furious at the contentious Liverpool penalty call.

Ivan Juric, manager of Southampton, feels Liverpool should have been given a penalty in the second half of their 3-1 loss at Anfield on Saturday. Will Smallbone gave the Saints an unexpected lead in stoppage time of the first half, but Darin Nunez quickly erased the lead. Mo Salah scored two penalty penalties in the second half to give Liverpool the victory, but Juric thought the first one was unfair. There didn't appear to be much in the area as Smallbone and Nunez collided, but referee Lewis Smith gave the penalty. Juric, the Southampton manager, is furious at Liverpool's penalty call. "They responded quite well," Juric said to BBC Sport. "We had some excellent first-half situations. The match was altered, in my opinion, by the [first] penalty, which was not a penalty. I'm happy with the way we performed today. "This can never be a punishment. Since it was 1-1 and somewhat altered the outcome, I apologize for what happened. Many of our yo...

Team leader Marta needs a new contract with the Orlando Pride.

Whether Marta will play for the Orlando Pride, the NWSL champions, in 2025 is the biggest question.



Orlando Pride, the NWSL Champion and Shield winner, is a strong contender for the 2025 campaign. Bringing Marta back on board is currently the biggest move. She is currently in negotiations with the organization.

Orlando Pride captain Marta Da Silva was well-known throughout the world before she joined the team in 2017. From 2000 to 2009, she was listed as one of Sports Illustrated's Top 20 Female Athletes of the Decade.

With 17 goals, she leads both the men's and women's totals and is the all-time World Cup goal leader. She has won FIFA Women's Player of the Year six times and is the first player to score at five World Cups.

When this team won the NWSL Shield and Championship, she was the squad leader. Since 2019, they are the first squad to do that. More importantly, the Pride are now the first Orlando-based professional sports team to take home a major league trophy.

With 60 points, 18 wins, and 13 clean sheets, they shattered the league's records for most points in a season. During the regular season and postseason, they had an undefeated home record.

For each of those record-breaking achievements, Marta's leadership was essential. During the regular season, she scored nine goals and provided an assist. In the playoffs, she scored two more goals.


She and colleague Barbra Banda were named to the FIFPRO Women's World 11 for the third time. She also received nominations for Most Valuable Player and Midfielder of the Year.

Since the future is created today, she promised to give it her all when she joined the Pride in 2017. Then, during their championship winning festivities, Marta made it clear that this is for Orlando.

The Orlando Pride can continue winning and bringing honor to the city and all its supporters. As captain, Marta need to be present while they do it.

Thierry Henry was denied a joyful homecoming as France was defeated by gold medal winners Spain.

Exactly 36 years after Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Lawrie Sanchez, and others ripped up the rulebook to propel Bobby Gould's Wimbledon to a storied FA Cup victory, Thierry Henry's France fell agonisingly short of capturing an emotional Olympic gold medal in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes in Paris. Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat. Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano was their unexpected late nemesis, dunking French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with 100 minutes on the clock to startle a stunned capacity crowd. And he delivered a virtual carbon copy of that finish with the game's final kick, charging in on goal as the French flung bodies forward to slot past Restes and cruelly ...
