'Win's a win' - but blunt Motherwell 'need new striker'

BBC News4 days ago
We asked for your views after Motherwell laboured to another Premier Sports Cup victory at lower-league Stenhousemuir.Here's what some of you said:Grant: I know it's early with the new manager and players, but we should be beating teams like this by a few goals. Morton will be well up for it and I wouldn't be surprised if they beat us, we need to step up quickly with Rangers at home our first league game.Stuart: We need a striker, lots of tippy-tappy football but cutting edge isn't there yet. We will also have to be more secure at the back when we play bigger teams.James: Again, kept possession well and good movement. Disappointing we've only scored five goals in three games. Bigger test this Tuesday against Morton, should give us a gauge on our progress. But hey-ho, a win's a win.George: We were on a hiding to nothing here and the game was played in horrendous weather conditions on a dreadful pitch, but even so this was shockingly mediocre.John: Quite concerned by these narrow wins. Don't seem to have the ability to finish. It's going to be another tough season by the looks of it.

Oleksandr Usyk's next opponent lined up days after Dubois victory

Oleksandr Usyk has been officially ordered by the WBO to face Joseph Parker, his mandatory challenger, for the heavyweight title. The WBO issued a statement on Thursday, 24 July, giving both parties 30 days to negotiate an agreement before proceeding to a purse bid. Usyk regained his undisputed heavyweight status by defeating Daniel Dubois for the second time on Saturday, 19 July, at Wembley Stadium. Joseph Parker secured his WBO interim title by knocking out Martin Bakole in February, following the cancellation of his bout with Dubois. Usyk has the option to relinquish the WBO title to avoid the fight, a strategy he previously employed by giving up the IBF title to facilitate his rematch with Tyson Fury.

FA issue England manager warning ahead of Euros final

The Football Association (FA) is determined to retain Sarina Wiegman as England manager, with chief executive Mark Bullingham stating she is "not for sale" at any price. Wiegman has reached five consecutive major tournament finals, including the last three with the Lionesses, and will lead them in the Euro 2025 final against world champions Spain. Her current contract with the FA extends until the end of the 2027 Women's World Cup, and Bullingham expressed confidence in keeping her in charge. Bullingham praised Wiegman as a "special coach" for her exceptional tournament record, work with players, and ability to maintain a cool head in critical moments. He dismissed suggestions that Wiegman should be considered for the England men's job, asserting it is disrespectful to view the men's role as more senior.

Lewis Hamilton's frank response to Christian Horner's departure

Lewis Hamilton has paid tribute to Christian Horner following his departure as Red Bull team principal a fortnight ago. Horner, 51, was in charge of Red Bull for 20 years, during which the team secured 14 world championships. Hamilton, now at Ferrari, described Horner's work at Red Bull as 'remarkable' and acknowledged his skill in running such a large organisation. He recalled an initial meeting with Horner in 2005 when Hamilton was looking to enter GP2, noting they didn't 'hit it off from the get-go'. Hamilton wished Horner all the best, despite their long-standing rivalry on the Formula 1 circuit.
