Hosts Netherlands claimed UEFA Women s Euro 2017 glory in thrilling fashion with a 4-2 final victory over Denmark at Twente Stadion.
Vivianne Miedema was the hero on Sunday, starring with a brace in a pulsating contest, in which Denmark drew first blood thanks to Nadia Nadim s sixth-minute penalty.
Arsenal forward Miedema provided a swift response and Lieke Martens of Barcelona netted from 20 yards out before the half-hour mark to put Oranje ahead.
Denmark captain Pernille Harder slotted home to ensure it was honours even at the break but Netherlands hit the front once more, as skipper Sherida Spitse dispatched a free-kick beyond goalkeeper Stina Lykke Petersen.
Miedama had the final word with a fine solo effort before the final whistle sparked joyous cel…
England under-21 boss Gareth Southgate watched on as his side exit the European Championship at the group stage
The England national team is often overrated, overhyped and overpaid. However, this summer’s under-21 European Championship was supposed to be the one were England’s young Lions actually lived-up to the hype.
Gareth Southgate’s team were beaten 3-1 by the Azzurrini’s of Italy and exited the competition on Wednesday night.
They will go down as yet another England team that failed at international level, as they finished bottom of their group.
Optimism
There was cause for optimism at the start of the campaign, as the likes of John Stones, Harry Kane, Saido Berahino and Danny Ings were named in a supposedly strong squad. Maybe that…
Euro 2008 finished last night with a final fitting of the entire excellent tournament. Spain beat Germany 1-0 in a thoroughly deserved victory and the best team in the competition, who scored more and conceded less than anyone else, won the whole thing. Germany were good, but just not good enough.
For this sixth and final article in the Euro 2008 who’s HOT and who’s NOT series I am going to look back at the whole tournament and hand out the overall awards.
Hot team
It is obviously not possible to award this title to anyone other than Spain. They scored the most goals, conceded the fewest and played with a breathtaking brilliance at times. Their midfield play was as good as anything I have ever seen and they weren t bad at the back or u…
Croatia fell well short of expectations as they produced an unimaginative performance in a 0-0 draw by Morocco in their World Cup Group F opener on Wednesday.
Zlatko Dalic s men – the runners-up four years ago – were strong favourites at Al Bayt Stadium but crafted few opportunities of note, the stalemate handing the early initiative to Belgium ahead of their clash with Canada.
In the stands, Croatia were so outnumbered they essentially resembled an away team, but Morocco s superior backing did not translate in to on-pitch dominance and were lucky to still be level at the break after Nikola Vlasic went close.
Dejan Lovren saw another reasonable chance go begging early in the second half, but otherwise Croatia failed to take advantage of their considerably gre…
Tom Brady will make his return to Foxborough on Sunday Night Football to take on the team he led to six Super Bowl titles.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, coming off their first loss of the season, enter the primetime game as 7-point betting favorites after opening at -5.5. All the money has been coming in on the Bucs, who will be without another longtime Pat in Rob Gronkowski when they take on the New England Patriots.
Will Brady work his magic and help the Bucs cover the TD spread at the place where it all started?

The term “upset” gets thrown around a lot when it comes to sports shockers. If the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles and come through as my Super Bowl 57 pick, it’s debatable if that would qualify as a true upset.
With the Super Bowl Odds showing the Chiefs currently as low as 1-point underdogs for February 12, a victory over the Eagles certainly wouldn’t be on par with Big Game stunners like the New York Giants’ win over the New England Patriots at Super Bowl XLII, or the New York Jets over the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III.
But, Kansas City is the underdog nonetheless.
The Chiefs are already a popular pick to win outright when it comes to the Super Bowl moneyline odds, and they’ll draw even more action at plus money…
There’s a common narrative that after NFL players ball out in contract years, they underperform after getting the bag.
Alex Anzalone and Josh Metellus are both proving that to be a myth and have been tackling machines for their respective teams this season. I’m looking at both of their tackle props this week in the NFL odds while also betting on Dennis Gardeck to get a sack at big plus money.
Here are my favorite sack and tackle NFL picks when it comes to the Week 7 odds.
