  • JUVENTUS WOMEN BEAT KØGE,  ADVANCE TO UWCL GROUP STAGE FOR CONSECUTIVE YEARS

    Juventus Women had everything in their favor entering the second leg of their Women’s Champions League qualifying matchup on Wednesday night. They were at home (kinda). They had a squad that’s starting to get healthy again. They had already shown that they could do some good things against their opponent, Danish champions HB Køge, during the first leg last week.

    There was just one thing: Because of the 1-1 aggregate scoreline after last Tuesday’s trip to Denmark, the door was very much open for some kind of silliness to potential derail Juventus’ hopes of making the UWCL group stage for the second straight season. It’s a good thing that Juve both slammed that door shut and then put about 14 deadbolts on it to prevent anything crazy from happening. (more…)

  •            MAN UNITED EXPECT ERIKSEN TO BE NEXT SIGNING AMID DE JONG ISSUES

    Christian Eriksen is set to become Man United’s next signing but there is still uncertainty over Cristiano Ronaldo while the ball is in Barcelona’s court with Frenkie de Jong. Eriksen, 30, is scheduled to have a stringent medical this week, with United conscious of the cardiac arrest he suffered while playing for Denmark against Finland during the European Championship last year. Tyrell Malacia’s medical was conducted over two days prior to his £14..6million signing.


    United have a verbal agreement to sign Eriksen and have dismissed a suggestion by Brentford manager Thomas Frank that the Dane could re-sign for the London club. Eriksen spent three months on loan at Brentford, having regained match fitness at the start of the year by training with Ajax under new United manager Erik ten Hag. Despite Cristiano Ronaldo’s wish to leave, United are understanding of the family issue that has accounted for his absence since he was due to report for pre-season training last Monday. (more…)
