Inside Mary Earps' 'All In': The Controversial Decision That Led To Her Unexpected Retirement.

An Icon at a Crossroads Mary Earps burst onto the international stage as a commanding presence in goal, helping England secure their first major women’s international tournament victory at Euro 2022 and their historic run to the World Cup final in 2023.

RB Leipzig faces crucial weeks ahead.


RB Leipzig has only won one of their last seven Bundesliga games, allowing Freiburg and Mainz to pass the Saxony club in the race for the final Champions League spot with 11 games remaining. Marco Rose spoke about the current situation before Wednesday's DFB Pokal match against Wolfsburg, which he thoroughly examined.

"We're not playing out of our depth at the moment," Rose told the crowd. "It is clear that there will be criticism and questions raised. The boys want it, and the coaching staff must provide a solution. The mind plays an important role. Now it's my job as a coach to find starting points and instill confidence, just like we did against Frankfurt."

With a place in the German Cup semi-finals possible, Rose believes Leipzig can rekindle their spark. "I believe that we can still have a successful season.

"If I didn't believe in it, I wouldn't be sitting here anymore."

Is time running out for Marco Rose and RB Leipzig?

If Leipzig is eliminated from the Pokal on Wednesday night, questions will undoubtedly be raised. Stuttgart head coach Sebastian Hoeneß has been identified as a possible replacement for Rose, as the latter's future at Red Bull becomes less certain.

Leipzig enters their game against Wolfsburg after a 2-2 draw against Heidenheim in the Bundesliga on Sunday, but an underwhelming performance saw the Saxony club lead 2-0 inside 13 minutes before Lois Openda and Benjamin Sesko scored either side of the break to secure a point for Rose's side.

Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove collapsed during a Serie A match.

Edoardo Bove, a Fiorentina midfielder, slumped on the pitch during his team's Serie A match against Inter Milan on Sunday. Bove's teammates hastily shouted for medical assistance and surrounded the 22-year-old before doctors treated him and quickly transferred him to a nearby ambulance on the side of the pitch. The event occurred in the 16th minute of the match, which was momentarily suspended at 0-0 and then abandoned with plans to reschedule later in the season. According to Sky Sport Italia, Bove was rushed to the Careggi Hospital near Fiorentina's Stadio Artemio Franchi. The Italian broadcaster later stated that Bove was breathing and beating on his own. In the minutes following Bove's fall, his teammates and opponents were visibly stunned and sad, with some in tears. In April, Roma defender Evan Ndicka collapsed with a hand on his chest, and Piermario Morosini died after heart arrest during a Serie B match 12 years ago. Inter and Fiorentina are both near the ...

Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid's head coach, has issued an update on the condition of midfield standout Jude Bellingham. This comes after the England international raised alarms among the Blancos fans on Sunday evening. Real Madrid, of course, made their return to play recently, hosting Getafe in the Spanish capital for a La Liga match. When all was said and done, the day's hosts won comfortably by a score of two goals to zero. The aforementioned Bellingham had a key role in this, scoring the game's first goal from the penalty spot and setting up a wonderful assist for Kylian Mbappé.
