The England World Cup-winning cricketer who tried his hand at baseball Original
The Athletic has launched a Cricket WhatsApp Channel. Click here to join. Liam Plunkett is a World Cup winner and a veteran of over 120 appearances for England across formats. Now, at 41, he lives in the United States and, in June, became the first English cricketer in the modern era to play professional baseball. On his debut for the Oakland Ballers of the Pioneer League, Plunkett threw five pitches.
The tactical battles that could decide a classic World Cup final Original
We have a final this World Cup deserves. Spain have been the tournament’s standout side, while Argentina have built another run on resilience, experience and the enduring brilliance of Lionel Messi. Spain are deserved favourites, but if Argentina are to retain their crown, they must do what France could not: compete with Spain’s midfield and disrupt the control that has underpinned their run to the final.
Why outsiders can’t yet compete for the World Cup trophy
For the first time in history, the semi-finalists at a World Cup are also the top four teams in the FIFA World Rankings. In a tournament historically suited to the favourites, the anomaly is that this has never happened before. The tennis-style bracket has spread out the top four so they don’t knock each other out in the rounds leading up to the semi-finals.

How substitutions are deciding World Cup games like never before
The business end of a World Cup is defined by big moments in front of goal, and time and again those moments belong to a player rising from the bench. Cesc Fàbregas came on to slip Andrés Iniesta through in the 2010 final; Mario Götze entered late in 2014 and scored Germany’s winner; and Louis van Gaal famously brought on Tim Krul in the 120th minute solely to save penalties in a 2014 quarter-final — and he did.

The freakish long-range shots that are changing the World Cup
There is a save this World Cup’s goalkeepers keep almost making. Jordan Pickford got a hand to Martin Baturina’s strike for Croatia from 20 yards, but the ball still went in off his glove. Algeria’s Luca Zidane has been beaten the same way twice, first by Lionel Messi, then again against Jordan. Iraq’s Ahmed Basil also got a touch on Kylian Mbappé’s effort from range in Iraq’s 3-0 loss to France. The image keeps repeating itself as goals from outside the box pile up at this World Cup.

Ranking the Ballon d’Or contenders after the World Cup group stage Original
The superstars have turned up at the 2026 World Cup. Off-pitch issues hovered over the tournament, but the football has delivered. Hydration breaks, the four-panel Trionda, and a 48-team field have shaped a summer that has felt busy, loud, and frequently brilliant. Lionel Messi is turning back the clock and adding to the record books again. Around him, the rest are gathering, each pushing to make their case.
Trends that will decide Norway’s World Cup clash with France Original
France and Norway head into their final group game level on points: two wins each, and both already through to the last 32. Their spearheads, Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland, are also level on four goals apiece. One is chasing Lionel Messi as the World Cup’s all-time leading scorer, while the other is announcing himself on the game’s biggest stage for the first time. Top spot will dictate their knockout opponent and send ripples through the bracket.
The data behind the World Cup’s Golden Boot and Golden Glove leaders Original
The first matchweek of the World Cup is complete, with each of the 48 teams having played once. It is too early to draw conclusions, especially in a 48-nation field where the gap in quality is vast and a single result can distort as much as it reveals. Final judgement cannot be compressed into 90 minutes, but the signals from the opening round are hard to ignore. Records fell, big names announced themselves.
Nine Ballon d’Or contenders who can enhance their credentials at the 2026 World Cup
Another club season is over, the trophies have been handed out, and the World Cup begins today. The race for football’s most coveted prize remains open, shaped but not yet settled. And talking of prizes, the Ballon d’Or will surely be decided over the next six weeks, with the 2025-26 winner crowned in October. Voted on by journalists from 100 nations, the Ballon d’Or weighs individual brilliance against team success — and it is usually the biggest matches that decide it.

IPL 2026: Behind the scenes at JioStar — ‘The future of sports broadcasting’ Original
The humidity hits on a Mumbai summer afternoon. The cab was headed to Urmi Estate in Lower Parel, a skyscraper home to one of Indian broadcaster JioStar’s two production hubs in the city, when it ground to a halt in the gridlock. The office is still a block away but, with all approaches choked by traffic, getting out and walking is the only sensible thing to do. The marble-floored foyer at least brings air-conditioned relief.
Premier League matchweek 38: The numbers to know Original
Arsenal beating Burnley on Monday night, combined with Manchester City’s failure to win at Bournemouth 24 hours later, saw the north London side end a 22-year wait for the Premier League title, laying to rest the ghosts of 2022-23 and 2023-24, when Pep Guardiola’s side overhauled them on the run-in. This time, Mikel Arteta’s men got their noses in front and held on until the finish line.
Premier League matchweek 37: The numbers to know Original
Just two rounds of Premier League football remain, and matchweek 37 looms large at both ends of the table. Only two points separate the top two in the title race, and just two points stand between safety and relegation at the bottom. One slip from any of four clubs on the penultimate weekend could prove decisive.
Premier League matchweek 36: The numbers to know Original
There are just three weeks of Premier League action left in the 2025-26 season, and big questions linger at both ends of the table. David Moyes may be expecting a thank-you note from his former Everton player Mikel Arteta after their 3-3 draw with Manchester City on Monday tilted the title race in Arsenal’s favour, leaving them only needing to take care of their own business across the final three games.
Analysing the relegation battles across Europe’s top leagues Original
The Premier League’s first genuine relegation battle in two seasons has narrowed to two London clubs that have both won European silverware in the past three years. Tottenham Hotspur won the Europa League last May; West Ham lifted the Conference League in 2023. Nottingham Forest have pulled clear under Vitor Pereira, and the final place above the line is a straight fight between the two. Across Europe’s top leagues, the same pattern is taking shape.

Champions League semi-final second legs: The numbers to know
We were served up an all-timer of a game at the Parc des Princes last week, and the second leg promises more of the same. For Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich, the 2025-26 season will be measured by the Champions League. The contest resumes at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday, with PSG holding a one-goal lead. Twenty-four hours after the fireworks in Paris came a different sort of game.

After Arsenal came away with a 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid in midweek, their Champions League semi-final will now be decided at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday. The domestic race is just as tight, with Manchester City three points back and with a game in hand.

Analysing the Premier League Golden Boot race: Can Igor Thiago catch Erling Haaland?
For the first few months of the season, Erling Haaland's goalscoring felt familiar. He began with a flurry, scoring 13 in his first 10 Premier League appearances. By December, he had become the fastest player to reach 100 in the competition's history -- doing it in 111 games, 13 fewer than Alan Shearer needed three decades earlier. kAmtG6CJE9:?8 A@:?E65 E@H2C5D 2?@E96C !C6>:6C {628F6 v@=56? q@@E \\ A@E6?E:2==J 2 E9:C5 :? 7@FC D62D@?D \\ 2?5 2 C64@C5\3C62<:?8 42>A2:8?]k^Am kAm%96?

Hi everyone, My name is Sukhman. I’m fairly new to real estate investing and currently learning more about the market. I’m particularly interested in multifamily properties and single-family homes, especially opportunities for flips and value-add projects. By profession I’m an electrician, and I also run my own company, so I’m very interested in the renovation and construction side of real estate as well.

Why no minnow beat a top-12 side at the T20 World Cup
On February 7 in Colombo, the 2026 T20 World Cup began with Pakistan under strain. By the end of the 18th over they were 119 for seven, still needing 29 from the last 12 balls to beat the Netherlands. In the 19th over, Max O'Dowd dropped Faheem Ashraf at long-off. Ashraf made them pay, finishing 29 not out off 11 and taking apart the penultimate over with three sixes as Pakistan escaped by three wickets. kAmw@FCD =2E6C :?

The state of the Premier League title race as Man City stay in contention… just
Manchester City kept themselves back in the title race on Sunday, just when it looked ready to tilt decisively in Arsenal’s favour. Trailing at Anfield after Dominik Szoboszlai’s stunning free kick, City produced their first comeback win of the league season to keep the gap to six points and their hopes alive. Arsenal had done their part 24 hours earlier with a commanding 3-0 victory over Sunderland, a side they dropped points against in November.

But among those 33 moves, a handful stood out.

Champions League key numbers: Szoboszlai's form and Spurs' strength in Europe

Just four teams at the bottom are eliminated, leaving 32 sides with stakes when all 18 games kick off simultaneously next Wednesday. The incentives are multilayered: finish in the top two and earn home second legs through to the semi-finals. The top four guarantees them through the quarter-finals.

Despite dropping points against Nottingham Forest, Arsenal increased their lead at the top of the table to seven points, with 16 games to go. Arsenal have watched Manchester City drop points in each of their last four league games. The chance to pull further away has been there. Twice, Mikel Arteta’s side have failed to take it, thanks to consecutive goalless draws against Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, Arsenal’s first successive goalless draws since 2012.

How the Premier League relegation battle looks after Matchweek 18
Halfway through the season, the Premier League table is tightly packed through the middle. At the bottom, however, little has changed. The same three sides have occupied the relegation places since Matchweek 13, and the teams that entered December under pressure have remained there. With 55 league games before the end of January, the table can turn quickly.
What happens to the teams who top the Premier League at Christmas?
In the Premier League era, leading at Christmas has not always meant getting the job done in May. Those that have topped the table on December 25 have gone on to be crowned champions in 17 of the past 33 seasons, meaning just under half of the league leaders at this stage have been pipped to the post. Arsenal supporters know that only too well. In 2022-23, they spent 248 days top and still finished behind Manchester City.
