Mike Tauchman's RBI single
When the 12 nations that will take part in the Olympic tournament announced their first six players on Monday, a single Montreal Canadiens player was named: Juraj Slafkovsky with Team Slovakia. That's not to say Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and Patrik Laine won't be representing their respective countries come February, but they haven't made the cut yet.

L.A. Olympics To Award Venue Naming Rights For First Time
The Honda Center is commonly known as the home of the Anaheim Ducks. For the LA28 Olympics, it won't lose the Honda moniker, part of a first for the Olympics where LA28 is selling venue naming rights for the first time in the history of the Olympic games. Along with the Honda Center, LA28 announced that the temporary squash venue at Universal Studios will be known as the Comcast Squash Center. The change comes as Casey Wasserman, LA28 chair and president, says the mission to be a fully privately funded and no-new-build Olympics meant working with the International Olympic Committee to create a fresh plan for venue naming rights. 'From the moment we submitted our bid, LA28 committed to reimagining what's possible for the games,' Wasserman says. 'Today's historic announcement delivers on that promise.' While Honda and Comcast are the two companies announced first, Wasserman says there are more to come, generating 'critical revenue for LA28' while introducing a new commercial model to the Olympics. MORE: The Famous 2024 Paris Olympic Venue You Don't Know About Under the new program, qualifying LA28 partners will have the opportunity to keep existing venue naming rights during the Olympics, as well as secure additional marketing assets. That means venues such as SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, host of the opening and closing ceremonies and swimming (yes, expect a temporary Olympic pool in what will become the largest Olympic swimming venue in history) may remain SoFi Stadium if the company buys in, but won't be given another sponsored name if not. For the up to 19 temporary venues, the naming rights become available to worldwide Olympic partners and LA28 partners. Outside of naming rights partners, standard clean venue policies still apply, meaning such sites as Rose Bowl Stadium, Dodger Stadium and the LA Memorial Coliseum will retain their names. Honda was the first partner signed on to retain its name during the Olympics, with the Honda Center hosting Olympic volleyball. 'As a founding partner of LA28, Honda is immensely proud that a world-class sports and entertainment venue like Honda Center will step onto the international stage to power Olympic dreams at the highest level,' says Ed Beadle, vice president of digital services and marketing for American Honda Motor Co. 'We have partnered with Honda Center for nearly two decades and we're excited that it will help showcase Southern California during the Olympic and Paralympic games.' The Comcast Squash Cetner at Universal Studios is the first temporary venue to garner a naming rights partner. It will turn Courthouse Square, an iconic working studio lot, into the home of Squash during the Olympics.

Report – Inter Milan Expecting Roma Response To €40M+ Offer For France Star Soon

The Giallorossi are currently evaluating the Nerazzurri's bid for the French international. Manu Kone has emerged as a surprise transfer opportunity for Inter Milan. The Nerazzurri reportedly see the France international as an ideal profile for the holding midfield position. Inter have no shortage of midfielders who can play in a more advanced role. However, midfielders like Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Hakan Calhanoglu are not as well-suited to playing in a double pivot. Therefore, Inter have identified Roma's Manu Kone as an ideal target.

Done Deal: Tchatchoua ready for Wolves after 12m offer accepted
As Football Italia reported earlier today, Wolverhampton Wanderers made a €12m offer for Jackson Tchatchoua, and Hellas Verona have now accepted. Our transfer pundit Alfredo Pedullà had revealed the figures of the latest proposal of €12m. That proved to be convincing enough for the Serie A side, while the player has also agreed personal terms and given the all clear. It means the Cameroon international should fly out on Friday to undergo his medical tests and sign the contract. Tchatchoua and Verona convinced by Wolves proposal VERONA, ITALY – DECEMBER 08: Jackson Tchatchoua of Hellas Verona during the Serie A match between Verona and Empoli at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi on December 08, 2024 in Verona, Italy. (Photo by) Several clubs had shown an interest in Tchatchoua this summer, including Nottingham Forest, Galatasaray and Olympique Marseille, while Milan, Inter and Napoli were linked at one stage. However, Wolves came in with the right €12m bid and the right-back is heading to Molyneux. He turns 24 next month and has been at Verona since 2023, when he arrived on loan from Charleroi and then made the move permanent for €3m a year later. The player contributed two goals and three assists in 36 Serie A appearances last season.
