I think the 2026 World Cup will be the most spectacular event in the history of our country."

Safid Deen, USA Today: PSG 3, Chelsea 1
Deen writes, "Chelsea's Cole Palmer makes a statement with a chilling goal to open the scoring, but PSG's quality will overwhelm in this one. Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue and Fabian Ruiz score in this match as PSG makes history winning the Club World Cup title."
Michael Leboff, New York Post: PSG (-1.5)
Leboff writes, "Since the end of May, PSG has defeated Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid by a combined score of 15-0. There are just too many ways that PSG can win this match, and it's hard to see this train coming off the tracks after months of domination."
James Cormack, Sports Illustrated: PSG 3, Chelsea 1
Cormack writes, "This PSG team can get at you in so many ways, and while the Blues will offer collective coherence, they, too, are bound to suffer like many before them. We're talking about a potentially all-time great team here, and they'll want to rubber stamp their supremacy by securing their first-ever Club World Cup trophy. It might not be a battering, but it's hard to envisage anything but a PSG triumph here."
Darren Richman, New York Times: PSG 3, Chelsea 0
Richman writes, "Surely PSG will have too much for Chelsea when it comes to the crunch. Every single time the French club have been tested with a tough opponent over the last year, they've passed the test with flying colours. Their counter-attacking style is a joy to behold and even Europe's best have struggled to find a way to combat a team reaching its zenith."

There was a significant security presence around the stadium before the Club World Cup final, with nearly 100 people representing multiple law enforcement agencies and stadium security personnel greeting fans as they entered the gates.
The security perimeter, established several hundred feet outside the stadium entrances, featured 15-feet high chained fences on top of concrete bases with entry paths for fans to enter.
Fans proceeded to walk through a winded line separated by metal barricades until they reached the front, where they walked through metal detectors and got their tickets scanned. If they had any bags, they were asked to check their items into a locker for the duration of the match.
After entering, fans were able to pick up black and gold Club World Cup squared towels as a keepsake. They also found a clear spot to pose for photos and videos in front of the stadium to commemorate the occasion.
One woman said it took "two seconds" to enter. Another woman said, "15 seconds." Other fans said it took about 5-10 minutes to get past security.
Laura Friedman and Joao Rosa from Brooklyn had to check in their camera bag before they could enter, but took five minutes to clear the obstacle to enter.
"We had to adjust our timing to get through security," Friedman said. "But once we figured it out, we were totally fine."
"We didn't even know who was playing. We bought tickets before it was announced, and we just wanted to be part of the festivities," Rosa added. "It's a big deal. FIFA is coming here, and it's a once in a lifetime opportunity. I took off from work to be here, and I'm here for fun." - Safid Deen

Man Utd had deal 'ready to go' before Harry Maguire's transfer move suddenly collapsed
Harry Maguire may have won over Ruben Amorim but his spell at Manchester United could've come to an end long before he arrived if not for a move to West Ham falling through Manchester United were all set to sign French defender Benjamin Pavard two years ago until Harry Maguire's move to West Ham stalled. England centre-back Maguire has navigated dramatic highs and some extreme lows since signing for the Red Devils in a huge £80million deal from Leicester City in July 2019. After a series of on-pitch errors, leading to United legend Roy Keane calling him out on numerous occasions, Maguire's time at Old Trafford looked to finally be coming to an end in the summer of 2023. With former manager Erik ten Hag then at the helm, the now-32-year-old was deemed surplus to requirements after he was unceremoniously stripped of the club captaincy. According to Sky Sports, United had agreed a £30m deal to sell Maguire to the Hammers. However, the move fell through after the Irons grew impatient with protracted negotiations. This is despite West Ham agreeing personal terms with Maguire. His failed move to east London had a severe knock-on effect for United. The Red Devils were in need of the £30m in order to secure Pavard, who was in the last year of his deal at Bayern Munich and a deal was "ready to go" for, per Sky. He has since made a switch to Inter Milan. United had already spent close to £200m that summer on Andre Onana, Mason Mount and Rasmus Hojlund. They were said to be without much wiggle room when it came to Financial Fair Play to pull off a deal for Pavard, now 29, without banking the money for Maguire first. The arrival of Ruben Amorim in November 2024 perhaps seemed like the beginning of the end for Maguire, once again, at United. However, the Sheffield-born star fought his way back into the team and demonstrated that he can still mix with it the best, despite United ultimately finishing in 15th in the Premier League last season. Such is Amorim's faith in the defender that reports suggest he is ready to keep Maguire at the club despite widespread interest. Matters are complicated by the fact that the former Leicester star is out of contract next summer and free to talk to overseas clubs in January. In huge show of faith from Amorim, the former Sporting CP boss has even included Maguire in a six-man leadership group, along with Diogo Dalot, Lisandro Martinez, Tom Heaton, Noussair Mazraoui and captain Bruno Fernandes According to The Mail, Maguire is keen to sign an extension which would see him play out the remainder of his career with United. The club are said to be happy with that arrangement, though talks are yet to get underway. Maguire's turnaround at United is nothing short of miraculous, and United legend Rio Ferdinand recently categorised it as if the player had"come back from the dead." The former England star also admitted to talking to Maguire about his trials and tribulations at Old Trafford. "We had the tough questions like that, what's it like you having criticism? And someone who risen from the dead almost, shown character," Ferdinand said. "He was down and out, but he's come back. So to show that character and resilience, it was nice to just get beneath the skin and talk with him about it."

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace predictions as champions look to dodge Community Shield upset
Liverpool take on Crystal Palace in the season's curtain raiser as the two sides face off in the Community Shield at Wembley which could see the likes Florian Wirtz debut The season's traditional curtain raiser presents Liverpool with the chance to underline their ambitions after a hugely successful summer of recruitment - but Crystal Palace have shown they more than have the appetite for an upset. Arne Slot's side could boast some of their new recruits when they head to Wembley to play in the Community Shield. The likes of Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike are part of a new look attack at Anfield, which will get their first competitive run out at the weekend. Liverpool last claimed the Community Shield back in 2022, but the winners of the one-off match haven't always fared brilliantly afterwards. Manchester City in 2018 were the last team to win the curtain raiser and then go on to claim the title. It was Pep Guardiola's side who were Palace's victims in the FA Cup last season. Oliver Glasner completed a historic triumph as the Eagles landed a first major trophy. Eberechi Eze was instrumental in that win and, despite the transfer speculation, he remains at the club and could be crucial to their efforts, even if they are major underdogs. Mirror Football 's writers have cast their eye over the match and offered up their prediction with the Premier League beginning the weekend after Sunday's clash in the capital. Scott Trotter The volume of transfer business conducted by Liverpool could lead to a moment of pause when considering how quickly the Reds could hit the ground running. While Crystal Palace's inaction in the market could lead to the same thing. Arne Slot has brought some serious talent into the squad and is forming an irresistable-looking frontline, whereas the Eagles have, so far, managed to keep their best players and proved with FA Cup victory that they can handle a one-off occasion. There were more than 40 points between the sides in the Premier League last term however and it's difficult to envisage Oliver Glasner's side overcoming that gap, even if they have been brought together by off-field issues. The champions should have too much quality even with some space behind their backline for Palace's Ismaila Sarr and Eberechi Eze to take advantage of. Liverpool 3-1 Crystal Palace Mike Walters It's a walkover, right? The runaway champions against England's representatives in the Thursday Night Herdy-Gerdy League (unless they are restored to the Thursday Night Smorgasbord League)? The biggest spenders in Europe since Michelle Mone bought a yacht against the FA Cup winners fighting to keep all their best players safe from the vultures? Piece of cake - comfortable Liverpool win... right? Those of us who remember 1990, when the Reds walloped Palace 9-0 in the League but then lost an FA Cup semi-final 4-3 against the Eagles, still expect Alan Pardew to pop up with a dramatic winner every time this fixture is played. The most important things to bear in mind about the Community Shield are, firstly, that it doesn't matter - and secondly, nobody outside south London or Merseyside really cares. Liverpool 1-1 Crystal Palace (Palace win on pens) Matt Maltby This game has all the ingredients for a right thrashing - and Crystal Palace could be on the wrong end of a disastrous result. Liverpool have enjoyed a superb window, adding to their Premier League-winning squad with the finest talent out there. Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong have all arrived - and they could be joined by Alexander Isak. Palace, on the other hand, have endured another underwhelming summer. They've only spent £2m on Ajax left-back Borna Sosa, while they've also brought in back-up keeper Walter Benitez on a free. But then, the FA Cup winners didn't really need to overhaul their squad. They've managed to keep Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze, for now, and Oliver Glasner will be hoping to carry last season's momentum into the new campaign. The Eagles now know how to win big games too, having deservedly triumphed in the FA Cup. They also now how to perform against Liverpool - and showed they can match them in last season's 1-1 draw at Anfield. You only have to look at the Community Shield four years ago, when Leicester City beat Manchester City - who had £100m new boy Jack Grealish in their ranks - to get inspiration about a surprise result. Don't be surprised if there's another one at Wembley this weekend. Andy Dunn Considering there was a 31-point gap between the clubs last season and considering Liverpool have spent a fortune in the summer and Crystal Palace have pretty much spent the square root of nothing, it is unsurprising the Premier League champions are strong favourites for this one. In fact, the bookmakers' odds of 4-7 strike me as being a touch generous. Particularly striking were Oliver Glasner's recent comments when he said Palace had "not made the most of the transfer window so far', that he 'only' had 17 outfield players and that, if he loses any players, 'another false start is possible'. To say the Palace manager does not sound overly bullish is an understatement. If Virgil van Dijk, who has apparently had a minor knock, is not risked, then Palace will get some joy going forward - in fact, they probably will anyway. But Liverpool will have far too much for the FA Cup winners and will win comfortably. Liverpool 3-1 Crystal Palace Nathan Ridley As if they weren't already good enough, Liverpool have added nearly £300million worth of talent over the summer. New signings can take time to adapt but compare that to a Crystal Palace squad who could've done with a few summer top-ups, it's the position I'd much rather be in. The Reds are simply too good going forward not to score, unlike a rusty Erling Haaland and streaky Manchester City attack in the FA Cup final. And I think they'll score plenty. Florian Wirtz will mark his competitive debut with a goal and Mo Salah will start the season like he always does - by scoring. Or I'll be wrong and we'll enjoy the season's first upset. Liverpool 3-0 Crystal Palace Chris McKenna The curtain-raiser that doesn't matter to your club unless you win it then it really does matter. Welcome to the Community Shield. Crystal Palace have not had a busy window and they may have upset Manchester City to win the FA Cup last May but they're up against a Liverpool squad full of new signings champing at the bit to get going. Liverpool have looked OK in pre-season as their new signings start to settle in but now they'll be ready to go ahead of their Premier League opener against Bournemouth on Friday. Arne Slot has already said he wants to win at Wembley after losing the Carabao Cup final to Newcastle in March. Expect a strong Liverpool side to run out comfortable winners with the game won before they make a load of late changes to get more minutes in their legs. Tom Victor It's probably not unfair to say Crystal Palace haven't had the best preparations for the new season. Uncertainty over Europe has been combined with a quiet window, though Ebere Eze is still at Selhurst Park for now. Liverpool, in contrast, have been extremely busy. They have signed Florian Wirtz in a record-breaking move, while the likes of Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong have also moved to Anfield. The last meeting between the sides ended all-square, but neither had a great deal to play for on the final day of the season. It's hard to read a great deal into that result, and the hefty points difference between the sides last term is probably a better guide. Arne Slot's side have impressed going forward during their pre-season exploits, while keeping only one clean sheet. That's a pattern which may well continue on Sunday. Liverpool 4-1 Crystal Palace Sam Meade If Liverpool are serious about going back-to-back for the first time in decades they need to take care of this contest with minimal fuss and I expect them to do just that. Winning and claiming trophies is a habit at the end of the day. The Wembley showdown presents the Reds with the chance to show off some of their new toys, and potentially give a glimpse as to how their new faces will fit in with questions over Florian Wirtz's deployment. Palace have been dealing with CAS and UEFA this week, so not ideal preparation, but the Eagles showed in a one-off game they could spring a surprise last season. The likes of Dean Henderson and Eberechi Eze will need big games for differing reasons, but I expect Liverpool will have too much.

Mark Clattenburg's response when Craig Bellamy grabbed him by the balls in Man City tunnel
Former Liverpool and Manchester City star Craig Bellamy had a reputation for being unruly, perhaps none more so than when he grabbed referee Mark Clattenburg by the testicles Former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg has revealed his reaction to Craig Bellamy infamously grabbing him by the balls. The Durham-born official has previously gone over the incident, but few might know the reasons as to why it transpired in the first place, not to mention Clattenburg's response. The former top-flight official has said he and Bellamy, now manager of Wales, simply "didn't get on" during their on-field careers. The latter was rarely far from contention, but this particular incident at the Etihad saw him take things close to the limit. And it all stemmed from an unfortunate encounter at the Reebok Stadium in December 2009 when Bellamy, then playing for Manchester City, was unlucky to be sent off. Clattenburg was the man holding the whistle that day, and Bellamy made sure the ref didn't forget it when they next came into contact. "So I was refereeing City [against] Bolton, and I cautioned him for dissent," Clattenburg said during a recent appearance on Undr The Cosh. "I could've sent him off, but I cautioned him for dissent. I remember speaking to a [City] club official, and I said, 'How do you put up with him week in, week out?' And they f*****g put it in the media the next day." That exchange took place during the half-time interval, at which point the two teams were level at 2-2. The Reebok Stadium thriller eventually ended 3-3 after Carlos Tevez's second of the game salvaged a point for City. Clattenburg, who has previously named Bellamy among his most annoying players to officiate, continued to bemoan the breach of trust given he was only engaging in some casual banter with a club official at the time. And the leak left him irate as he referred to the official in question, adding: "F*****g bell, you know what I mean?" One can perhaps understand the City frustration given he later sent Bellamy off for diving while attempting to win a penalty. However, he himself later admitted the decision, which was lambasted by then-City boss Mark Hughes, was "probably a bit harsh." "He never forgave us. And I never forgave it," he continued. "Me and him just didn't get on, y'know? Next time I was refereeing at Man City, and he was in the tunnel. And he said something to us. He said something like 'f*****g w****r' or something like that and just grabbed my balls. "I just saw the funny side of it. To be fair, he was right. There's no point being a**ey. He's right, I probably shouldn't have sent him off, but what happens happens. He dealt with it, I dealt with it, and we've moved on." It's a mature approach considering many officials likely wouldn't have taken the incident their in stride the same way. It's one thing sending a player off on the pitch, but dismissing someone prior to a ball being kicked would be a much more unique occurrence. Bellamy received four red cards over the course of his 18-year career: two in the Premier League, one in the Champions League and another in the Championship while playing for Norwich as a youngster. As fate would have it, the first of those came in 1998 while facing future employers City at Carrow Road. He later moved to Newcastle and saw red during a 3-1 win over Arsenal in 2001, earning himself another red during a European defeat to Inter Milan the following year. However, the Welshman is perhaps fortunate not to have one more blemish on his record following that run-in with Clattenburg 16 years ago. Now at the helm of his home nation, the Cardiff-born star will have to be on his best behaviour in any future tunnel encounters.
