By Janhavee Moole Published 1 day ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Fifa's decision to suspend India's football association has cast a shadow over the future of the sport and its players in the country. The ban, which was announced late on Monday, may prevent India from hosting the women's Under-17 World Cup, which was set to begin on 11 October. On Wednesday, India's Supreme Court asked the federal government to take "proactive steps" to ensure that the suspension is lifted and the World Cup goes ahead according to plan. Fifa said it suspended the All India Football Federation (AIFF) due to "undue interference by a third party". This occurred after India's Supreme Court disbanded the AIFF in May and appointed a three-member committee to govern the sport. But Fifa's rules say its member federations must be free from legal and political interference. … [Read more...] about Fifa ban: India football body suspension deals blow to women players

EMMA HAYES reckons ‘brain fog’ may have dimmed recollections of some of her earliest moments at the helm of Chelsea. But the Blues boss, 45, who marks her tenth year in charge of the WSL champs tomorrow has vivid memories of her first week and having no staff or office. The Camden-born head coach , who helped revolutionise the women’s game in England, recalls the initial sparse set-up when she took the job. A far cry from the investment that came eight years later, when the club broke the world transfer record for a women’s player, signing Pernille Harder from Wolfsburg for a fee reportedly in excess of £250,000. A decade ago, Hayes’s role was part-time. The Kingsmeadow gaffer juggled her managerial career with a job in her family’s currency exchange business Covent Garden FX. And Chelsea’s players were part-time too with their boss the only female manager in the league at the time.

MAHE Fonua has blasted rugby league’s bosses for putting players through a crazy fixture list. For the Castleford star believes fans may be robbed by not seeing stars at their very best, with 80 per cent the best they can feel. The Tigers face three games in 11 days – starting with tonight’s clash at Huddersfield – that will make or break their play-off chances. Next week sees the ludicrous second double header of the season, which sees Lee Radford’s men play next Thursday and on Bank Holiday Monday. And Fonua has hit out at the way players are being out through it after being told it would not happen again. He fumed: “I don’t think I’m allowed to say what I actually thought when I saw the second double header in the fixture list. “They want to speak about player welfare then they throw in two double headers. We came out of Covid-19 and they said they didn’t want any more of those short turnarounds. “Then they came out and did this, where they had a year or x amount … [Read more...] about Mahe Fonua blasts fixture schedule as second double header looms

Several Manchester United players are urging Erik ten Hag to abandon his footballing philosophy just two games into his reign ahead of Monday’s daunting showdown against Liverpool. Manchester United news, exclusives and analysis Privacy Policy The Dutchman has endured a torrid start to his reign with the fallen Premier League giants currently bottom of the league after consecutive demoralising defeats against Brighton and Brentford. Ten Hag arrived with a clear idea of the tactics he wanted to implement, replicating the tactics that brought him success at Ajax . United, however, have looked ill-equipped to carry out the instructions of their new manager and with Liverpool on the horizon, several players have urged Ten Hag to take a more pragmatic approach against Jurgen Klopp ’s side. The FA Cup holders hammered one of the final nails in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s coffin last season, romping to a record breaking 5-0 win at Old Trafford and a repeat of that … [Read more...] about Man Utd players already want Erik ten Hag to change tactics against Liverpool

Jessica Raine has just finished watching The Handmaid’s Tale , and is incensed because, she tells me, she got there first. ‘I had the idea to bring The Handmaid’s Tale to TV a couple of years ago and I brought it to a producer and they were like, “Oh my God, that’s such a great idea.” And then we discovered it had been snapped up [by Elisabeth Moss]. It’s amazing, but how annoying!’ She may have missed out on the chance to bring Margaret Atwood’s dystopian masterpiece to the small screen, but the 35-year-old British actress isn’t exactly short of high-profile TV roles – far from it. After working in theatre, Jessica made her name in 2012 when she was chosen to play the lead in one of the most popular period dramas of the decade. As Jenny Lee, the prim and proper young nurse in Call the Midwife, the BBC’s warm-hearted drama about midwifery in post-war London, she had us weeping every Sunday evening as the nation took the series firmly into its heart. Viewing figures topped 10 … [Read more...] about Jessica Raine: I was a little bit ashamed of wanting to be an actress – I associated them with a falseness
