The Football Association has received a €30,000 fine due to the behaviour of some fans during England s Euro 2020 semi-final win over Denmark.
England came from behind to beat Denmark 2-1 after extra time and reach their first major tournament final since winning the 1966 World Cup.
Yet the win was partially marred by the conduct of some supporters at Wembley on Wednesday.
The FA was charged by UEFA s Control Ethics and Disciplinary Body for fans booing the Danish national anthem, setting off fireworks and for the use of a laser pointer, which was shined in the face of goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel as he prepared to face Harry Kane s extra-time penalty.
Schmeichel saved Kane s spot-kick but the England captain tucked away the decisive goal on the r…

Juventus, who were beaten 4-1 by Madrid in June s Champions League final were represented by veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, who also scooped the FIFA Best Goalkeeper prize.
Leonardo Bonucci and Dani Alves – both of whom lined up for Serie A champions Juve against Madrid in Cardiff but subsequently moved on to AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain respectively – completed the defensive unit in the combined team, while Barcelona great Andres Iniest…

Fikayo Tomori says being among the celebrations when Italy beat England in the Euro 2020 final is motivating him to play his part as the Three Lions looks to go one better at the World Cup.
Tomori has been called up to England s upcoming Nations League matches, which will include a home clash with Italy – the country in which the defender has impressed since joining Milan last year.
Having starred on loan with the Rossoneri during the second half of the 2020-21 season, Tomori completed a permanent move to San Siro last June, before making 31 Serie A appearances as Milan won their first Scudetto since in 11 years.
Tomori was left out of England s squad for Euro 2020, meaning he was in Milan when Gareth Southgate s team suffered penalty shoot-out heartbreak agai…
A massive matchup in the AFC West takes the Los Angeles Chargers to Arrowhead Stadium for a run-in with the rival Kansas City Chiefs in Week 3.
The NFL betting odds opened Kansas City as big as a touchdown favorite but after the Chiefs’ loss at Baltimore Sunday night, this spread has dipped under the key number to KC -6.5 at some books.
The Chargers, who let a home game slip away versus Dallas last Sunday, are 12-5-3 ATS as road underdogs since moving to L.A. in 2017.
Here are our free NFL picks and predictions for Chargers at Chiefs on September 26.

The great thing about betting NFL underdogs in the playoffs is that every team getting the points is a capable team. No more messing with the Jacksonvilles or the Houstons of the world.
Even with underdogs finally falling on their faces in the Wild Card (finishing 1-5 against the NFL odds last week), postseason pups instill a confidence in those clubs getting the short end of the win probability stick.
Hell, the four teams wearing the dog tags in the Divisional Round are a collective 13-5 ATS as pups on the season. And the two rarest underdogs are where we place our NFL picks and predictions for this weekend’s action.

Monday Night Football offers a non-conference clash between two teams with Super Bowl aspirations — the Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Chargers.
Unfortunately, both teams have not lived up to their preseason hype with 3-2 and 2-2 records, respectively. Tonight’s game presents an opportunity for both teams to jump-start their season, and there is little to choose between them on the NFL odds.
While there are a number of different subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to watch this game… did you know that you can also live stream Cowboys/Chargers directly from legal sports betting sites?
In Canada, bet365 is one of our most trusted NFL betting sites — and the premier platform that offers NFL live streami…
The Detroit Lions host the Minnesota Vikings in the final week of the regular season on Sunday. The Vikes still have a 3% chance of making the playoffs but will need to win and get a lot of help in the NFL odds.
While the Lions have already locked up the No. 3 seed, they could still snag the No. 2 spot with a victory and losses from both the Eagles and Cowboys.
Week 18 odds opened with the Lions as 5.5-point home favorites but money has poured in on the visitors driving the spread down to -3.5. Here are my best free NFL picks and predictions for Vikings vs. Lions on Sunday, January 7.

A short week is about as welcome as conventional medicine for Aaron Rodgers.

My analysisThe look-ahead line for this Thursday nighter was Jets -7.5 in the summer. After two weeks of results, the New England Patriots have looked better than expected… and the New York Jets are still very much a work in progress.
