For Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham, there was only one story, one mission. It was not about what happens next with the manager; that can wait. It was about grasping an opportunity that does not come around very often, about emerging from what has felt like a generation’s worth of jibes; about winning.On a golden night for their long-suffering followers, they chased the baggage off their backs, they changed the narrative. Yet again, Postecoglou won in his second season. For the first time since 2008, Tottenham got their hands on a trophy. Continue reading...

69 h. ago Carlo Ancelotti and the vibes of Brazil: a match made in football heaven?

A partnership between the world’s best man-manager and the Seleção will be fun – and potentially gloriousThe year is 2026 and Carlo Ancelotti is recreating a famous Real Madrid photo. Once more he finds himself on an open-top bus celebrating a landmark victory in sunglasses while smoking a cigar, accompanied by a smiling Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior and Éder Militão. David Alaba is missing and there are confusing new additions, such as Casemiro and Raphinha.Pan out and we realise we’re nowhere near the Cibeles Fountain in Madrid but are instead on Avenida Atlântica by Copacabana beach. Yellow and green confetti fills the sky and Neymar is showing off a record-extending sixth World Cup to an adoring crowd. He’s finally won them over for delivering the hexa, something expected of him since he rose to prominence as a spiky-haired Santos prodigy at the turn of the 2010s, and they have fallen in love with the Seleção again.

3 d. ago Crystal Palace keep party going as Eze’s glorious goal wraps up win over Wolves

Afterparty at the Palace, a gala night at Selhurst Park. If the 2024-25 Premier League season has faced accusations of featuring far too little jeopardy, the result here mattered little but will be remembered for ever as the night Crystal Palace brought the FA Cup home to south London.For the record, Palace celebrated a win via two goals from Eddie Nketiah, a deflected free-kick and a late, glorious Eberechi Eze strike. In truth, the main event did not arrive until after full time with the end of Selhurst Park’s 101-year wait to show off a major trophy to fans. Eagles supporters can now dream of next season’s European tour, with the hope and expectation the precise but emotionally charged leadership of Oliver Glasner will lead them into that promised land.
