Xavi Simons saw a potential winner controversially disallowed as the spoils were shared in a 0-0 draw between the Netherlands and France in Group D at Euro 2024.

A VAR check led to the Dutchman s 69th-minute strike being chalked off for offside, stopping the Oranje from booking their place in the round of 16 with a game to spare.

Antoine Griezmann squandered a host of chances for France, who struggled in front of goal with Kylian Mbappe relegated to the bench due to a broken nose.

Both sides move onto four points, and after Austria s win over Poland earlier on Friday, it is all to play for between the top three on the final matchday, with Poland the first team to be officially eliminated from the tournament.

Despite Colombia s defeat, James had yet another outstanding international tournament having previously starred for Los Cafeteros at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

James received the tournam…

UEFA has announced Mark Clattenburg will referee the final of Euro 2016 between France and Portugal on Sunday.

The Englishman, a regular Premier League official, will become the second man after Portugal s Pedro Proenca in 2012 to referee both the Champions League final and European Championship decider in the same season, having already been the man in the middle for Real Madrid s penalty-shootout victory over Atletico Madrid at San Siro in May.

He also took charge of the FA Cup final between Manchester United and Crystal Palace this season and will be the first English referee of UEFA s quadrennial international showpiece since Arthur Holland in 1964, when Spain defeated Soviet Union 2-1.

Simon Beck and Jack Collin will serve as Clattenburg s assistants at Sta…

Vancouver Whitecaps head coach Vanni Sartini believes the international break will benefit his side ahead of welcoming Los Angeles FC to BC Place this weekend.

The hosts will be without top scorer Ryan Gauld along with Ali Ahmed, Sam Adekugbe, Andres Cubas, Fafa Picault and Pedro Vite as they aim to break into the top seven of the Western Conference and avoid playing in the first round of the playoffs.

However, Sartini believes that this presents an opportunity for his fringe players to step up against one of the better sides in the division, having seen his side fall to back-to-back defeats since clinching their place in the post-season.

“It is very important to win,” Sartini said. “Unfortunately, we did not do well in the last couple of games so now this …

The first Milan derby of the 2018-19 season will take place on the weekend of October 21, by which time Gennaro Gattuso s Rossoneri will have steered themselves through a difficult start to their Serie A campaign.

After facing Genoa at home on the opening day, Milan take on last season s second and third placed sides respectively as they travel to Napoli then entertain Roma.

Their first clash with Inter at San Siro precedes a tough run of fixtures that includes a games against Juventus and Lazio in November and Gattuso will have to perform well if he is to remain as head coach for his first anniversary in the job at the end of that month.

Milan s reverse fixture against Inter comes in March 2019 ahead of a tricky run-in: the Rossoneri s last eight matches inc…

The Weekend s big game sees two giants of the Premierleague trying to bounce back from disappointing results.

Chelsea will be pleased to put their midweek draw with Hull City behind them. Fans and pundits alike were surprised to see Chelsea drop points to a lowly Hull City. Ancelotti was publicly supportive of his team, but privately he will be fuming they allowed Manchester United to close the gap at the top of the league to just two points, and with United at home to Portsmouth, it will be clear to the Italian that three points are absolutely vital in this top of the table clash. Selection will only be difficult in terms of dropping players, with only Boswinga, Essien and Mikel missing from the squad. Didier Drogba should be over any jet lag that may have affected him in his …

Sergio Aguero, who knows a thing or two about scoring vital goals with Premier League glory on the line, had seen enough.

Don t shoot! No, Vinny! No!

Manchester City were chasing a 13th consecutive league win against Leicester City, the sort of run that would obliterate any normal title race. Now, victory was required to simply edge back ahead of Jurgen Klopp s relentless Liverpool.

The Reds had just won their eighth game in succession and both frontrunners had smashed through the 90-point barrier. Twists and turns? Nothing of it. Just a thundering, unblinking march towards the prize.

This has been a season to forget what you might usually expect to be possible. In that spirit, Vincent Kompany looked up 30 yards from goal, had one more tentative shuffl…

He has all the attributes of a great centre forward…
