Declan Rice lauded praise on England midfield partner Kobbie Mainoo for his leadership qualities during his run in the side at Euro 2024.

Mainoo has started alongside Rice in the Three Lions three knockout games against Slovakia, Switzerland and the Netherlands.

The Manchester United midfielder, who enjoyed a breakthrough season under Erik ten Hag, made history in England s semi-final win over Ronald Koeman s side.

At 19 years and 82 days, Mainoo became the youngest player to play for England in the semi-final of a major tournament.

Mainoo received the man of the match award, starring in midfield as he made more tackles (two) and interceptions (two) than any other Three Lions player in Dortmund.

Manchester United will sell Scott McTominay in the summer of 2023, according to . The Scotland international international midfielder has fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford, and the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners plan to cash in on him at the end of the season.

McTominay has made seven starts and eight substitute appearances in the Premier League for United so far this season. The 26-year-old midfielder has also made one start and four substitute appearances in the UEFA Europa League, scoring one goal in the process. McTominay has scored one goal and provided one assist in three Carabao Cup ties so far this campaign.

Manchester United are third in the Premier League table at the moment with 42 points from 21 matches, three points behi…

Leonard Bonucci says Juventus will be driven on by the desire to avenge their 2015 Champions League final defeat to Barcelona when they meet the Catalan giants in this season s quarter-finals.

Juve reached their first final since 2003 two seasons ago but their quest for a third title came up short as Barca eased to a 3-1 win in Berlin.

The two sides have not met in the competition since but will battle over two legs in the last eight in the coming weeks.

Bonucci feels Juve who sit atop of Serie A have gotten stronger since, while Barca may not have the quality they had in Luis Enrique s first season in charge.

I never watched back the final from 2015, Bonucci told La Stampa ahead of the first leg of the quarter-final on Tuesday.

It will be a dif…

Manchester United confirmed they had accepted an £80million bid from Real Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo on this day in 2009.

A world-record deal was expected to be completed by the end of June.

Real president Florentino Perez had already vowed to do “everything possible” to sign FIFA world player of the year Ronaldo, and, unlike 12 months earlier, United boss Sir Alex Ferguson did not even attempt to talk Ronaldo round, knowing the former Sporting Lisbon player had his heart set on a move.

Cristiano Ronaldo agreed to sign for Real Madrid.

The rest as they is history.

Monday Night Football in Week 11 features a battle between the New York Giants and the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Tampa Bay is coming off back-to-back upset losses, while the Giants have covered the spread in three straight games. However, oddsmakers are expecting Tom Brady & Co. to bounce back, installing the Bucs as 11.5-point NFL betting favorites for this primetime affair.

Here are our best NFL picks and predictions for Giants vs. Buccaneers on Monday, November 22, with kickoff at 8:15 p.m. ET.

The Cincinnati Bengals will look to finally get in the win column on Sunday as they visit the New York Jets for a Week 3 matchup. 

The Bengals may be the defending AFC champions, but they’ve started the 2022 season with two tight losses. The Jets got their first win last week when Joe Flacco led a miraculous comeback in the final two minutes to beat the Cleveland Browns. 

If the Jets want to keep Cincinnati winless on the year, it will take another big performance from Flacco. We’ll take a look at whether he can keep up his hot start in our best NFL picks and predictions for Bengals vs Jets on September 25.

Not every player can get well and beyond their NFL odds prop total but for those who might be mispriced, have a better matchup than expected, or can just pile up stats in garbage time, betting milestones and alt-Overs can be profitable even with a low win percentage.

I’ll be using bet365 for most odds as they have become the best book for offering alt-Overs and have milestone markets for seemingly every prop. They also give you the green checkmark as soon as the number is hit and bettors are able to cash out immediately (if that option is still available to you), which also helps.

For Week 3’s best milestone NFL prop picks, I’m doubling up on the Jets’ backfield, expecting big things from the Steelers’ offense, and hitting a modest 25-plus ya…

The Kansas City Chiefs and their non-existent second-half offense will head to Sin City this weekend and look to avenge their Week 11 loss to the Eagles as they face the Las Vegas Raiders as a 9-point road favorite on this week’s NFL odds.  

Coming off his best game as a passer and likely facing plenty of negative game scripts indoors, are bettors sleeping on Las Vegas quarterback Aidan O’Connell and his modest passing total?

I break down the Week 12 NFL odds and offer my free NFL picks for Chiefs vs. Raiders on November 26.

Aidan O’Connell has made three straight starts and is 2-1 SU with the only loss coming last week vs. …

The Kansas City Chiefs may not have been at their best during the regular season, but it doesn’t matter. They’re back for their fourth Super Bowl in five years.

Their opponent for Sunday’s affair in Sin City will be the same as in Super Bowl 54, but while Kyle Shanahan’s San Francisco 49ers are back in the Big Game, it’s Brock Purdy at the helm this time around.

Patrick Mahomes & Co. have fared just fine as an underdog, beating both Buffalo and Baltimore whilst getting points in the NFL odds. Such will be the same in tonight’s Super Bowl odds.

We break it all down in our Super Bowl 58 odds for Chiefs vs. Niners below. Be sure to check out our Chiefs vs. 49ers predictions and Super Bowl predictions for more.

Two flailing franchises face off in Sin City when the Las Vegas Raiders host the Pittsburgh Steelers.

While both defenses our strong, our Steelers vs. Raiders predictions are honing in on how poorly these offenses are playing.

I explain why the Under on such a low total is the right play in my NFL picks for Sunday, October 13. 

My best betUnder 36.5 (-110 at BetMGM)

My analysisThe Pittsburgh Steelers are in a familiar spot, riding another strong defense to some early success despite myriad struggles on offense. They sit 11th in defensive DVOA, flaunting arguably the best line in football to shut down the run and get to the quarterback to aid a perfectly average secondary.

The Las Vegas Raiders’ offensive line ranks 28th through the fi…
