🎙️ Kompany expects 'emotional' Boca Juniors clash and talks Coman future
Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany expects plenty of emotion during the club's upcoming Club World Cup clash against Boca Juniors. The Argentine side began the tournament with a chaotic 2-2 draw against Benfica, which featured three sending-offs. Now with the top spot in the group on the table, the manager is aware that things might get dramatic. Advertisement "We watched the Boca vs. Benfica game, and there were emotions in the game," said Kompany during his pre-match press conference. "But we want to be Bayern Munich. We have to show the right emotion. "We know a lot of Argentine players from European leagues. It's a type of football we understand very well. "We know the quality of South American teams, also through South American players who play in Europe. South American teams have always played very well in the World Cups, too." Bayern, meanwhile, are coming off a 10-0 thrashing against amateur side Auckland City in their Club World Cup opener. With arguably their biggest test ahead, Kompany expects a much tougher experience against the legendary Argentine club. Advertisement "We respect Boca," he said. "They're a very dangerous team in transition. The team's spirit is good. They're a very good team." "[Luis Advíncula] is physically strong, fast, and has a lot of experience. He's been to many clubs, and the coach is counting on him to bring stability in important games. But Boca has many players with a lot of quality." Fortunately for the 39-year-old, he can rely on the efforts of a healthy squad. Jamal Musiala and Dayot Upamecano are fit, while Kingsley Coman has reiterated his desire to stay at the club and show his best work on the pitch. Advertisement "Before the tournament, there was a question about which players would get fit the fastest: the national team players or those who had been there the whole time," said Kompany. "Jamal Musiala and Dayot Upamecano haven't played for a long time. We're very happy they're back and fit. Integration is an important issue, and we'll have to see how it goes. Otherwise, everyone is 100 percent fit. It's about healthy competition and tactics." Unfortunately, Kingsley was injured a few times, but otherwise he's always played an important role. When a player plays, it's a sign. King has repeatedly scored important goals for the club," Kompany added. Advertisement "We have four players on the wing who have a lot of quality, plus the other players who can play there too. We've never been short of quality. The only thing that matters to me now is the tournament." Ultimately, a win against Boca Juniors on Friday evening will send the Bavarians through to the knockout stage of the Club World Cup. 📸 FEDERICO PARRA - AFP or licensors

Colin Cowherd Slams Shedeur Sanders' 101 MPH Blunder
Colin Cowherd Slams Shedeur Sanders' 101 MPH Blunder originally appeared on Athlon Sports. When you are as polarizing as quarterback Shedeur Sanders, almost everything you do gets put into the spotlight. Advertisement That's exactly what the Cleveland Browns rookie has been dealing with throughout the last couple of years. Most recently, he was cited for speeding early Tuesday morning for allegedly driving over 100 mph. According to police records, Sanders was traveling at 101 mph, 41 miles over the speed limit, and was stopped at about 12:24 a.m. Fox personality Colin Cowherd is notorious for having loud takes on NFL quarterbacks, particularly towards younger players and he unleashed on Sanders following the news. 'Mike Tomlin often says two is a trend. Can't score up three or four times, two is a trend,' Cowherd said. 'Just two times. I'm not sure if I need two times when you're a young quarterback. One bad judgment turns me off, but I have now, in the last couple months, two things that really turn me off with Shedeur Sanders.' Advertisement To Cowherd's defense, an NFL quarterback is typically viewed as the face of the franchise, and being a leader is vital. Despite the talent Sanders has shown on film, Cowherd is out on him, saying he's not sure if the former Colorado Buffalo is mature enough. 'That cringy awful 'legendary' draft room. Bro, you're a B prospect. Your dad is 'Primetime' who led with his ego for years, you have to have a little self-awareness. I had more than one GM say 'total turnoff.'. It's not the end of the world, but it's a bad look,' Cowherd said. 'And now this, 100 miles an hour. Yup, all you fanboys, go ahead, Manziel, Baker, and Deshaun Watson, defended it to the hilt on your Reddit account. Sorry, don't minimize it, this is not good for a quarterback.' Sanders already faced an uphill battle to see the field as a rookie, but this likely hurts his chances, at least for the near future. The Browns clearly believe in him, however, veteran Joe Flacco is expected to start week one with Kenny Pickett not too far behind. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 19, 2025, where it first appeared.

Harry Kane looking forward to facing Boca and their fearsome fans at Club World Cup
Harry Kane says he is looking forward to Bayern Munich's clash with Boca Juniors – and their passionate fans – at the Club World Cup. Harry Kane says he is looking forward to Bayern Munich's clash with Boca Juniors – and their passionate fans – at the Club World Cup. Photograph: S Mellar/Harry Kane had an early taste of the great American outdoors ahead of next summer's World Cup as Bayern Munich's plane to Miami was delayed by Florida thunder storms ahead of Friday's game against Boca Juniors at the Hard Rock Stadium. On arrival Kane was still his familiar mild and temperate self in response to repeated questions, mainly from the Argentinian press, about the volatility of the reception he can expect from Boca's fans, who have been the most vivid spectacle of the Club World Cup so far. Advertisement Related: Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappé leaves hospital after gastroenteritis at Club World Cup 'The Boca fans are obviously loud and they're passionate. A big part of their game is to have the fans behind them, to use them as the energy and to take them into tackles and to battle. 'Their fans are going to be passionate. They're going to be trying to push their team to win the game. So, yeah, I'm looking forward to the atmosphere. You know, sometimes it brings out the best in you as a player.' Kane is also prepared for the physical battle the Boca defenders will offer. Boca's tournament opener against Benfica was marked by concussive challenges, three red cards and a distinctive style of heavy-contact defending, Advertisement 'It's going to be heated, it's going to be hot, it's going to be a physical game. And they have some quality players as well, so we need to be ready for that. We have to be ready for the battle tomorrow. 'They're a team who like to like to battle, like to make it difficult, like to counter press the opponent. We need to be ready for that. 'To be honest, I've not played against many South American teams in my career so far. So I think any game, any new team you play, is another experience. It's hard to really say how the game is going to go tomorrow, but like I said, I know they'll be very passionate, very hungry to get the result. 'There's a lot of top quality teams all around the world. It's not just Europe where football is played and you see that at national level as well. So it doesn't surprise me that some of the teams who are maybe not looked upon as some of the favourites, are doing well in this tournament. I don't think any anyone needs to be taken lightly.'
