8 d. ago Ethical Diamond’s Melbourne Cup absence shows drawbacks of micro

Ruling a likely favourite out of Australia’s biggest race on vets’ advice about a past injury only makes it harder for overseas horses to run thereEthical Diamond appeared to have all of the attributes you would want to see in a potential Melbourne Cup winner as he recorded a decisive success in the Ebor Handicap at York on Saturday. He travelled sweetly, had the tactical speed to pick his way through the field in the straight and then a sharp turn of foot at the business end to put the race to bed a furlong out. In winning, he also picked up a “Golden Ticket” for “the race that stops the nation” in early November, one of just two such guaranteed entries on offer in the northern hemisphere.So what’s not to like? The answer, it soon transpired, is a small piece of metal inserted into one of Ethical Diamond’s legs. “He had a little fracture last year and we put a screw in,” Willie Mullins, the gelding’s trainer, said, “and they’re not allowed in Melbourne. It’s fair and their rules ar...

2 w. ago Ligue 1 fans are given unprecedented TV access – but only to old storylines

The league’s new TV channel will show everything from team talks to dressing room celebrations, but not a title raceBy Get French Football NewsAn elaborate exercise in window dressing is perhaps how to best describe the return of Ligue 1 football. With the league-owned Ligue 1+ taking over broadcasting duties and with a desperate need to “add value” to the “product”, there was a sweeping range of innovations for the return of top-flight football.Viewers were treated to France World Cup winner Djibril Sidibé dialling in from the Toulouse dressing room following their win over Nice; Nantes manager Luís Castro providing a mid-match tactical overview during their defeat to PSG; images of raucous dressing room celebrations, of pre-match preparations, team talks, you name it. Stadiums become panopticon prisons, and omnipresent cameras erode any mystery that remains in the relationship between those who play the sport and those who watch it. Continue reading...

2 w. ago England’s Marlie Packer: ‘This team is No 1 in the world – we’re going to be under scrutiny’

The flanker has overcome losing the captaincy to remain a key part of the squad as the Red Roses take aim at another showpiece final“If you asked me at the start of pre-season: ‘Am I going to this World Cup?’ No. I didn’t think I was going,” says the former England captain Marlie Packer.Self-doubt around her selection may surprise a lot of people. A World Cup winner in 2014, the 35-year-old will compete in her fourth successive global showpiece for the Red Roses after being duly confirmed in the 32-player squad for the host nation. But Packer has been through a lot in the past 12 months. She was named world player of the year in 2023 and during the two seasons that she led England, the side won all 20 games.

2 w. ago ‘New Zidane’ to Amorim outcast: Kobbie Mainoo at career crossroads

Fall of midfielder who seemed to have solved England’s problem position is emblematic of Manchester United’s confused transfer policiesRemember Kobbie Mainoo? The lad from Stockport heralded as Manchester United’s new midfield general? A player likened at 19 to Zinedine Zidane by Paul Scholes and whose 2024 FA Cup final winner toppled the noisy neighbours from across town when he ghosted into Manchester City’s area before a silky smooth touch and finish past Ederson?Now, at a club of serial false dawns and zero title challenges since Sir Alex Ferguson retired 12 years ago, Mainoo is at a career crossroads. As Ruben Amorim becomes the latest manager to try to build United a shiny new world, Mainoo is a mere substitute. The Portuguese has no place for him in his 3-4-3 formation after a damning assessment that Mainoo lacks legs for the engine room or the pace to operate as one of the two 10s. Continue reading...
