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…
The Las Vegas Raiders take a perfect 3-0 record back to their old stomping grounds in California when they battle the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football.
Before the season starter, this didn’t have the feel of a sexy MNF matchup, but here we are: With the Raiders unbeaten and the Bolts coming off a big win against the Chiefs, it has become a can’t-miss game for Week 4.

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…

The universe demands balance.
Though it may seem like I’m a Thanos sympathizer, I fully believe in the celestial scales. That cosmic balance can work in mysterious ways, whether we’re betting on NFL odds each Sunday or forking over a “missing book” fee at the local library.
After a month of turning my house upside down for a misplaced kid’s book, it was time to face the $13 music. I begrudgingly forked over the penalty fee while my children picked out more books to lose at the library last weekend.
Among those books was one that wouldn’t scan at the self-sign-out. After taking it to the librarian (yes, they still exist), she was puzzled that the b…

Aaron Rodgers will get most of the attention when the New York Jets host the New England Patriots on Thursday Night Football, but he isn’t the only player bettors should be keeping their eye on.
Tonight’s Patriots vs. Jets predictions focus instead on New England’s Hunter Henry. Find out why I’m bullish on the veteran tight end with my NFL picks ahead of this evening’s September 19 primetime clash.

The list of capable skill players on the New England Patriots is about as long as the sleeves on former coach Bill Belichick’s hoodie. Among those rare highlights is tight end Hunter Henry.

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…
Jurgen Klopp’s team have tormented one old rival in their pursuit of the Premier League title this week and will be confident of a repeat against another who could be in the relegation zone come kick-off on Sunday. Liverpool have the best home record in the league this season, Everton the worst away record, with Frank Lampard losing all six games at the cost of 19 goals on his travels since replacing Rafael Benítez. The Liverpool manager may make changes with a Champions League semi-final coming in midweek but, other than a slight injury doubt over Roberto Firmino, should have a full squad to choose from.

Union Berlin have become the first club in Bundesliga history to appoint a woman as assistant coach, after the sacking of Urs Fischer as manager.
Fischer lost his job after a losing run of nine games that has rooted Union to the bottom of Germany’s top flight – quite a collapse for a side that finished fourth last season and subsequently qualified for the Champions League.
The youth coach Marco Grote has been appointed as the interim manager with Marie-Louise Eta making history by becoming his assistant.
