Conor Coady believes England can learn from last year s Euro 2020 final defeat to Italy, just as they did from experiences at the 2018 World Cup.
The Wolves captain only made his England debut in September 2020, but has become a regular face of Gareth Southgate s squads in recent times, and will likely be a part of the Three Lions setup at the World Cup in Qatar later this year.
Coady – who came through the ranks at youth level with Liverpool – now has nine senior England caps, and spoke to Sky Sports ahead of Tuesday s friendly with Ivory Coast at Wembley Stadium.
I think we can learn so much from that, he said when asked about losing on penalties to Italy in July. That s something this group of players, this squad, this team, have done ever so well at si…
The memory of Liverpool s collapse against Chelsea in the 2013-14 Premier League season continues to motivate Jordan Henderson as he prepares to face the Blues again.
The Merseysiders looked set to end a 24-year wait for a top-flight title when they faced Jose Mourinho s Chelsea five years ago, looking to stay clear of Manchester City at the top of the table.
But Steven Gerrard s slip let Demba Ba in for the opener and Willian netted a late second as Liverpool s title bid faltered and City capitalised.
Jurgen Klopp s men are in a similar situation this year, facing Chelsea with City hot on their heels, and Henderson a member of Brendan Rodgers team is determined to right that wrong.
Yeah, for me, it s just another thing I ve used to keep going, Hende…
The Bears come into this game 3-3 with their new franchise QB, Justin Fields, under center. He’s had a mixed start and will be up against the 49ers defense here, who have struggled with injuries again.
Injuries have been a continued part of the 49ers story over the past two seasons, but those excuses aren’t good enough — they’re five wins off the top spot in the NFC West and need to start winning soon. Don’t miss our NFL picks and predictions for the San Francisco 49ers vs. Chicago Bears on Sunday, October 31.

We welcome back NFL betting with a bang — and a potential Super Bowl preview — when the Buffalo Bills visit the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday Night Football in Week 1.
The Bills have high hopes for 2022, climbing to the top of the Super Bowl odds this offseason while also winning over early-bird bettors, who have moved Buffalo from a +1 underdog to a 2.5-point favorite on the road in SoFi Stadium.
The Rams are rare underdogs — especially for a defending champ at home in the season opener — and finished 3-0 ATS as pups last season, owning an all-time 11-8 ATS count as underdogs under Sean McVay.
The NFL’s food chain gets figured out when these apex predators collide in a non-conference clash. He…
The Indianapolis Colts and the Philadelphia Eagles will kick off their final preseason game of 2023 on Thursday night at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, PA.

A few weeks ago this MNF odds matchup wouldn’t feel as important as it is to either team. However, with the Buffalo Bills tripping over themselves against the Cincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots in recent weeks and the Denver Broncos pulling off an upset of the Kansas City Chiefs two weeks ago, there’s a lot on the line here.
The NFL odds still have the Bills as a 7.5-point favorite despite hiccups on offense and inconsistency on defense, but Josh Allen is going to need to get back to his MVP-level play to cover. The key to a Broncos win will be their running back tandem, who have helped the team win two straight.

| FanDuel Kick… October is my favorite month of the year. While I love the shorts and flip-flops of the summer calendar, October’s “sweater weather” is where it’s at, especially for a guy who perpetually runs at furnace levels of hot. Not only is October the most comfortable month (suck it May) but it’s got a lot going on too. Canadian Thanksgiving, Halloween, and my birthday all fall in the “Falliest” of autumn months. But along with the changing colors of the leaves is also a change in betting markets and NFL odds. As the calendar flips, so does the value of betting underdogs each week. In September, point spreads have more to do with last year’s results, preseason projections, and public perception, leaving the door open for undervalued dogs… Italy goalkeepers Gianluigi Buffon and Marco Amelia are not particularly happy with the ball that will be used during this summer s European Championships. The ball, dubbed the Adidas Europass, has been giving the two keepers serious difficulties. Livorno goalie Amelia accused the ball of being too heavy, while Juventus star Buffon tries to stay positive: Maybe we just have to get used to it. But it won t matter, I ll get the ball anyway. Italy begin their Euro 2008 campaign against the Netherlands on June 9th. … |
