Luke Littler sent fierce warning over controversial comments by German opponents ahead of World Cup of Darts
LUKE LITTLER and Luke Humhpries have been sent a fierce warning ahead of their World Cup of Darts clash against Germany. The England pair face Ricardo Pietreczko and Martin Schindler in the round of 16 in Frankfurt tonight. 3 3 Littler had previously gotten into a spat with Pietreczko and controversially slated Germany because of crowd problems. He posted on Instagram: "Shouldn't have been in Munich but had to play anyway. "Next one in Germany for me is Dortmund and I am glad to say that." Pietreczko - nicknamed 'Pikachu' - said: "I think it was a very funny game against both Lukes, because Luke Littler says never come back to Germany.' Schindler added: "I think the fans are going to play a major role in that. 'If we are going to play against bigger nations, England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland or Netherlands or whoever, there are so many good names in it right now. "I think this probably is the best World Cup to be in and we are very happy about the support we are getting from the fans.' Littler clashed with 'Pikachu' in March when the German confronted him after being beaten. Luke Littler reveals he's signed up to HUGE reality show alongside YouTuber mate Pietreczko explained: "Well, I really appreciated him being able to play a game like that at such an age, but I hope his arrogance punishes him." Littler claimed he had no idea what he had done wrong but acknowledged "everyone wants to beat him". Away from the oche, the top two players in the world, Humphries and Littler, were both awarded an MBE on Friday as part of the King's Birthday Honours list for their contributions to sports. The award is a glaring example of how darts' growing appeal paralleled the pair's rise to the top. Humphries said: "I'm extremely honoured and delighted to be receiving an MBE in the King's Birthday Honours for services to darts. "To be recognised by the King for what I have achieved, and also for my contribution to playing in and promoting the sport that I love, is something that I never thought possible, but I'm very grateful that it has become a reality.'

Shocking moment furious Le Mans driver kicks and punches rival's car before being restrained by stewards
A FUMING Le Mans driver needed to be restrained by stewards as he punched and kicked a rival's car. In an insane start to Race 2 of the Le Mans Cup - before the iconic 24 Hour endurance race - Ferrari 296 GT3 driver Gino-Generoso Forgione was put out of the race after a collision with Josep Mayola Comadira. 3 3 3 Several drivers had crashed out of the race in the early chaos after No.8 Team Virage LMP3 spun after making contact with the No.29 Forestier Racing by VPS LMP3. And Forgione, driving the Ferrari No.21, was left fuming as he was caught up in it when Comadira collected his rival by bumping him and spinning him around. The incident left both cars stranded on track and brought out the safety car. Forgione was seen getting out of his car and marching over to Comadira's No.23 Biogas Ferrari. As he approached the Swiss driver lifted up his helmet visor and broke into a trot before unleashing a kick into the side of the car. The 61-year-old followed this up with a flurry of punches to the car window. Race stewards rushed over to restrain him, as Forgione continued to hit the car, now raining hammer fists down on the roof, before he was dragged away. TNT Sports "As you can understand, racing at Le Mans and getting tagged out in the first corner is not going to leave you feeling very happy. "The problem is, everyone is checking up there because of the spinning Porsche. "He has spun because he is checking up because the cars in front are slowing down dramatically." Fellow commentator Graham Goodwin added: "It is not giving Gino-Generoso Forgione any credit at all for the behaviour at the end there. "But he will feel that he checked up and the car behind did not... "Yeah, not very happy is the international sign language there." A remarkable 19 former F1 racers are competing in the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans this weekend, including Jenson Button, Mick Schumacher and Kevin Magnussen.

Atletico keen on Robertson - would move appeal?
Atletico Madrid are interested in signing Liverpool defender Andy Robertson as the Anfield club edge towards a deal to bring in Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez as their first-choice said last week he had not given his future much thought, with his focus on a enjoying a well-earned holiday after another long and successful season in which he won the Premier League for the second with the transfer window opening in a few days, the Anfield mainstay and Scotland captain's club future is unclear for the first time in eight would likely cost between £45m-£50m and is expected to be Arne Slot's preferred choice at Liverpool are keen to retain Robertson and allow current back-up left-back Kostas Tsimikas leave, but acknowlege that the 31-year-old may be minded to move on in search of regular football. Why would Robertson stay at Liverpool? Robertson has had a very successful stint on Merseyside since joining from Hull City in 2017, and has a year left on his has won everything, adding a second league title last season as Arne Slot's side comfortably claimed the Premier League. Robertson was still a big part of that, starting 33 of 38 games. And though some fans might be ready to move on, at 31 the defender is willing to fight for his place."I'm not getting any younger - I can't change my age - but I still believe I've got a lot to give," Robertson told BBC Sport Scotland whilst on international duty last week. "I still believe I have a hell of a lot to give for however many years I can keep going. "My body feels good at the minute. I can't tell you how I'll feel at 33 or 34, but I can tell you, at 31, I feel excellent."With his family settled in the city and his place as a club legend likely assured, moving away would be a big Robertson will likely have taken note of the acrimony around Trent Alexander-Arnold's recent exit for Real situations are not directly comparable given Alexander-Arnold is a local boy and academy product, who at 26 potentially has his peak years in front of whether Robertson is first-choice or not at Liverpool next season, the club will have a big pull, especially given they would arguably want him to stay and compete with Kerkez for a starting berth across a long season on several front. Why might a move abroad appeal? If Kerkez does join and bump Robertson down the pecking order, a switch to another Premier League club can not be ruled out with Atletico are prioritising him as their left-back target this summer, a move outside of the UK for the first time is on the was asked about the benefits of playing abroad while on international duty last week, in reference to Scotland team-mates Billy Gilmour and Scott McTominay, who won Serie A in their first season at Napoli."When these players play abroad they see a different way of playing and lifestyle," he said. "That can only help. "Young lads coming through might now be thinking I want to go and try that. That's credit to those lads stepping out of their comfort zone."It will not have escaped Robertson's notice just how much of a hero McTominay now is in Naples after leading them to the Scudetto, while being named the league's best move guarantees success, but with Serie A and La Liga often described as a slightly slower pace week-to-week than the Premier League, a move abroad at 31 might give Robertson more years at the top. Would Atletico & Simeone be a good fit? With Cesar Azpilicueta and fellow left-back Reinildo Mandava out of contract, Diego Simeone has set his eyes on Argentine has become renowned for intense, aggressive play over his 14 years at the club, winning two La Liga titles and reaching two Champions League a few attempts to reinvent his style, defensive solidity is still a priority and Atletico had the second-best defensive record in La Liga last while Robertson was renowned for his assists in Jurgen Klopp's successful spell, he can do both sides of the leadership skills and personality on the pitch is also something Simeone would enjoy, and working with the Argentinian may itself be a draw for Robertson. Do fans think Robertson should stay? BBC Sport asked fans to get in touch with their views on Robertson's future recently, and here are some of the Robbo has been a fantastic player but his recent mistakes have led to goals conceded and this would be a problem in what I expect to be a tougher Robbo has been a great player for Liverpool, a real legend. Last season it was mistake after mistake at times and I think it's down to his game being all about high intensity and his age creeping up on him. His minutes need to be managed now, but he definitely still has a place in the Looks like Robertson's time as the number one left-back could be coming to an end. Robertson might have to get used to being the back-up for Robbo is our left-back. Whoever comes in has to knock him out of the position and not the other way round. He's got nothing to prove. Always need a Scot in the Move him on given his contract status. Tsimikas is an able an opinion? Have your say here
