Paris Saint-Germain have announced the signing former France international Lassana Diarra on a free transfer. Diarra has been a free agent since leaving Al Jazira last month and boosts the midfield options of the Ligue 1 leaders, although PSG coach Unai Emery previously indicated he would not be looking to make signings during the January transfer window.

In January 2018, FIFA announced that it will be using video assistant replays during this summer’s World Cup in Russia. The history of the tournament would be very different if VAR had always been an option – maybe England would have even won it a few more times. Or perhaps not...The yellow card of GodArgentina vs England, 1986Diego Maradona’s little punch past Peter Shilton to put Argentina ahead in the 1986 quarter-finals is a prime example of the kind of injustice that VAR is designed to stop.

Zinedine Zidane is irritated by suggestions in the media that he won an internal "battle" over Real Madrid's alleged pursuit of Kepa Arrizabalaga after the goalkeeper signed a new deal with Athletic Bilbao. Madrid had long been linked with a move for the highly rated 23-year-old, particularly since he entered the final six months of his previous deal at the start of January.

Back in the dayit was just Philippe ‘the chip’ Albert, Emile Mpenza and Jelle Van Damme, which is a great name for a notparticularly great player.However, Belgium now has a ‘Golden Generation’ to rival England’s of a few years ago; a crop of players lighting up the Premier League, even as they can’t yet get their act together at international level. Good luck with that one, Belgium. Maybe don’t let Steve McClaren have a crack at managing them.Anyway... Читать дальше...
