The Ashes just got spicy

You don't have to look hard to find swaths of sports fans around the world who dislike England – England's men's teams that is. The women are a different matter. Now, surprise surprise, the Australians have come to the party. If they ever left. The trigger this time is Ben Stokes's surly behaviour to the Indians at the end of the fourth Test when Washington Sundar and Ravi Jadeja chose to bat on to pick up their centuries, rather than march off for the draw that Stokes wanted. All that was left was sledging: 'Fucking hell, Washi, get on with it,' said Harry Brook, who never shuts up; 'If you wanted a hundred you should have batted like it earlier,' said Jofra Archer. Why they shouldn't have wanted to collect their centuries is beyond me though. This was all a bit rum since England had just been using as a consultant a Kiwi coach called Gilbert Enoka, who had worked with the All Blacks for years and was the guy behind the famous 'no dickheads' approach. But none of this has gone unnoticed Down Under, where the kraken is waking and the Aussies are ramping up Ashes tension ahead of England's upcoming visit. Brad Haddin, the famously confrontational former Test keeper, said: 'I think they are going to start the Ashes on nice terms but when push comes to shove, we are going to see some real combative Test cricket.' Mitchell Johnson, the terrifyingly fast left-armer from the 2013-14 series, was suitably scary: 'Sledging only works when you're dominating. Right now, England aren't. They haven't won an Ashes series in Australia since 2010-11. Their Bazball model has some punch, but it's flimsy when conditions swing. Maybe talking tough is a cover.' But he admitted: 'Let's not pretend Australia are choirboys. I had plenty to say when I played – and copped plenty back.' Well, who would have thought it? A spicy Ashes series: can't wait. They're a tough bunch those Lionesses. Ashes tough indeed. Not to be messed with. Watch Chloe Kelly sardonically thanking everyone who wrote her off, shortly after winning that thrilling final with her stupendous, prancing penalty. They played hard football, they didn't shirk a tackle or a collision, but they played with a joy in the game (and its rewards) that is markedly absent from much of the men's game. Instead of Marcus Rashford or Casemiro picking up hundreds of thousands a week to play football but looking as if they would rather do community service in a sewage farm, the women's tournament saw Kelly, the unknown teenager Michelle Agyemang, Leah Williamson, the match-saving goalkeeper Hannah Hampton, Alessia Russo and all the rest living the best days of their lives. You hear a load of guff about sports people being role models, but these Lionesses really are: talented, hard-working, supportive, energetic and never giving up. Proper England, you could say. Now what, though? The brilliant Sarina Wiegman, after two major titles with England and one World Cup final, will pick up the honorary damehood she so deserves. Though what else will happen if they go on to win the World Cup in two years in Brazil (and they certainly could) is anybody's guess. She could be made an honorary queen, I suppose. You rather hope that Thomas Tuchel is picking her brain once in a while. Fond farewells to the Tour de France on terrestrial TV. This last edition was the end of ITV4's involvement, and a damn pity too. Ned Boulting and David Millar are one of the great commentary double-acts in any sport. Sure, times change and commercial interests win out, but we should be careful if terrestrial TV loses all its jewels. And the Tour de France is the brightest jewel of all.

Geri Horner celebrates with the Lionesses at Oasis' Wembley concert after the team won the women's Euros final

Geri Horner celebrated with the Lionesses as they attended Oasis' concert at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday after the team won the women's Euros final. The former Spice Girl, 52, joined Alex Greenwood, Hannah Hampton and Alessia Russo in the crowd the band's hotly-anticipated reunion. The team roared to victory in Sunday's match following a nail-biting game, which finished with an incredible 3-1 penalty shoot out win. Congratulating them on their win, Geri joined the girls for a photo before they took their seats for the gig. She captioned her Instagram post: 'They're home!' After a run of homecoming gigs in Manchester's Heaton Park, Oasis returned to London last week, where they will play five shows. Elsewhere, Geri has faced yet another blow when it was revealed her book company has racked up a huge £1million debt. It comes following the news her husband Christian was released from his operational duties as the boss of Red Bull one year after the scandal that engulfed him over texts he apparently sent to a female employee. According to a new publication Geri could now be facing her own troubles as her company Falcon Queen Productions has sunk further into the red. The Mirror reports, Geri had a deficit of £750,000 in the year ending August 2024, compared to a £276,000 the previous year. The singer released her children's books, Rosie Frost and the Falcon Queen and Rose Frost: Ice On Fire via the firm. However, her 'main company, Wonderful Productions, earned £2.16m in the 12 months to August last year.' Wonderful Productions was set up by Geri in 1997 at the height of the Spice Girls' fame and channels earnings from her career in music and other commercial deals. MailOnline has contacted Geri's representative for comment. Christian was released from his operational duties as the boss of Red Bull earlier this month. It ends the longest reign of Formula One team principals in the sport and comes a year after the scandal that engulfed him over texts he apparently sent to a female employee. Red Bull issued a statement confirming the news, reading: 'Red Bull has released Christian Horner from his operational duties with effect from today, Wednesday 9 July 2025, and has appointed Laurent Mekies as CEO of Red Bull Racing.' Horner's former Spice Girl wife Geri stood by her husband after the explosive accusations rocked the Formula One paddock last year. Horner has vehemently denied the claims. Screenshots of alleged WhatsApp messages between Horner and a Red Bull employee were leaked anonymously the day after a three-week investigation, carried out externally, cleared the 51-year-old of all allegations. Horner survived accusations of coercive behaviour towards his colleague – and was twice cleared in internal investigations of wrongdoing.
