The esteemed Anfield boot room belongs to another era but was still in existence when Liverpool won the league on 28 April 1990. In Ronnie Moran and Roy Evans, Kenny Dalglish’s assistants, it also housed members of the brains trust assembled by Bill Shankly. It would be another three years before the wrecking ball demolished rich tradition for the sake of a bigger press room.
Repeated conquests of English and European football were plotted in that confined space where Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan, Reuben Bennett and Tom Saunders, as well as Moran and later Evans, sat on baskets surrounded by rows of boots and posters of topless pin-ups. The latter would be obscured by an open cupboard door or a strategically placed jacket when a photographer was…
Pat Noonan is expecting Los Angeles FC to pose a tough test to FC Cincinnati, especially as they are coming off the back of their US Open Cup success.
Cincinnati sit second in the Eastern Conference and are currently unbeaten in four matches, alternating between a win and a draw in that run.
They let a lead slip twice in a 2-2 draw with Nashville SC last time out though, and Noonan knows his side cannot let their guard down at TQL Stadium on Saturday.
[LAFC] are coming in on a high, Noonan said. They re a very strong team. They just won a trophy, and rightfully so, they should be coming in with good energy and excitement.
They ve won some [finals], they ve lost some, but they have experience in getting there and knowing what those games look like.

Ronald Koeman saluted the Netherlands outstanding performance against Romania, as they cruised into the Euro 2024 quarter-finals with a dominant 3-0 victory.
Cody Gakpo was on target with his third goal of the tournament making him the tournament s joint-leading marksman while Donyell Malen struck twice from the bench to set up a last-eight clash with Turkiye, who beat Austria 2-1 later in the day.
The Netherlands stumbled through to the knockout stages as one of the best third-placed teams, following a disappointing 3-2 defeat against the Austrians in their final Group D outing.
However, the Oranje were much improved as they ousted Group E winners Romania, and Koeman insisted his players must maintain these performance levels heading into the business end of the…

A Spanish football supporter was found dead on Monday in Madrid where 52 others were arrested after a night of revelry to celebrate their team s victory over Germany in the final of Euro 2008, police said.
A municipal street cleaner found the 40-year-old man, wearing a red shirt of the Spanish team, at dawn in a pool of blood in the centre of the capital.

Police also announced that 52 supporters were arrested in Madrid during the night of wild celebrations at Spain s first major international football trophy in 44 years.
They were detained for acts of vandalism and public disorder around the Plaza Colon, where 65,000 fans watched t…
Casemiro believes Brazil are in a much stronger position at the Qatar World Cup than they were in Russia in 2018.
Manchester United midfielder Casemiro lashed home an 83rd-minute winner against Switzerland on Monday, ensuring Brazil s progress from Group G.
Up to that point at Stadium 974, Brazil – shorn of the injured Neymar – had been frustrated in their attempts to break the deadlock, and looked set to be heading for a third World Cup draw against the Swiss, who they had not previously beaten in the competition.
Brazil are the first side in World Cup history to go unbeaten in 17 consecutive group stage matches (including final and second group rounds in earlier editions), though it is the first time since 2010 that the Selecao have won their opening two ma…

We are now just about a week away from seeing the first player selected in this year’s NFL Draft walk up onto the floating stage in front of the Bellagio in Las Vegas to greet Roger Goodell.
But we still aren’t sure who that will be.
In fact, this is still one of the more mysterious drafts in recent memory. There are still so many unknowns heading into April 28 as NFL Draft Odds continue to fluctuate.
There is no clear-cut No. 1 pick, and while there are some high-ceiling quarterbacks like Malik Willis and Matt Corral, there is certainly no Andrew Luck or Joe Burrow in this class.
We are now in the home stretch of the draft process, which means NFL Draft betting options are hitting the board in droves, so here is the fourth and final version of m…
