(1:13) Al Nassr continued their flawless start to the Saudi Pro League season by racking up an impressive 4-1 win over Al Khaleej on Sunday, a resounding result in which Cristiano Ronaldo and several of the club's other marquee signings were among the goals. With Jo'o F'lix and Sadio Man' already on the score sheet, Ronaldo capped off the victory in the 96th minute in flamboyant fashion. Defying the years and the creaking joints, the 40-year-old superstar took to the air and unleashed a fantastic overhead kick to flesh out the rout. Al Khaleej goalkeeper Anthony Moris actually appeared to get two hands on Ronaldo's effort but even that wasn't enough to prevent the ball from hitting the back of the net. - Cristiano Ronaldo goal tracker: Road to 1,000 career…...

3+ hour, 37+ min ago (651+ words) Dimitar Berbatov reacts to Idrissa Gueye's bizarre red card after slapping his own teammate Michael Keane. (1:06) David Moyes refused to condemn Idrissa Gueye after the Everton midfielder was sent off for clashing with his own teammate in the team's 1-0 win over Manchester United on Monday as he likes his "players fighting each other, if someone didn't do the right action." Gueye saw red 13 minutes in to the game, squaring up to teammate Michael Keane and slapping the defender as they argued over a misplaced pass which gave Bruno Fernandes a shooting chance he could not convert. That left Everton under the cosh but Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's fine 29th-minute goal gave them the lead, they then fought doggedly to defend against an increasingly frustrated United side who saw a five-game unbeaten run come to an end. "I like my players fighting each…...

(1:44) Seattle Reign FC's Jess Fishlock recently retired from international duty after two decades with Wales, but she's not done yet. The midfielder has signed a new one-year contract to stay with the Reign in 2026, which will mark nearly 14 years in Seattle. "When I came back from the Euros, I just felt a little different," Fishlock told ESPN. "Something had shifted perhaps in what I wanted to do and where I wanted to go, and I think that I'm still such a competitor. That will never leave me, unfortunately, which is a gift. Even though its 14 years in the making -- golly -- I still really want to bring a championship to Seattle." Fishlock is the only player in…...

6+ hour, 19+ min ago (694+ words) Dimitar Berbatov discusses Manchester United's disappointing 1-0 defeat to ten-man Everton at Old Trafford. (1:12) MANCHESTER, England -- Where to start with Manchester United? United coach Ruben Amorim has been cautious during a run of five games unbeaten to say with any authority that his team has turned a corner. After a diabolical performance full of inexcusable errors, you can see why. "The feeling is frustration," said Amorim. "Disappointment about the way we played the game. I think they were the better team. With 11, they defended really well. With 10 men, 70 minutes. So I think we deserved to lose. We didn't play well. We didn't play with the right intensity. That's it." There have been some miserable days at Old Trafford since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. This, though, was right up there. United were poor even before Gueye's red card. Everton kicked off…...

5+ hour, 58+ min ago (384+ words) Dimitar Berbatov discusses Manchester United's disappointing 1-0 defeat to ten-man Everton at Old Trafford. (1:12) Ruben Amorim said that Manchester United are nowhere near being able to fight at the top of the Premier League table following their 1-0 defeat to 10-man Everton on Monday. United had the chance to move into the Champions League places with a win over David Moyes' side at Old Trafford, but it was Everton who came away with all three points despite having Idrissa Gueye sent off after just 13 minutes for slapping teammate Michael Keane. Amorim said afterwards that his team "deserved to lose" and admitted that, despite a positive recent run of performances, he's still "afraid" of a repeat of last season when a string of poor results saw United finish 15th. "We are not there, not even near the point that we should be to fight…...

In fact, I'm old enough to remember when the U.S. men's national team crashed out against Mexico in the Gold Cup final without much of a fight. I'm old enough to remember when, earlier in that same tournament, a succession of wins from a mostly MLS-based roster had some commentators wondering if these players just wanted it more than their fancy teammates over in the Champions League. I'm old enough to remember when those same players got annihilated by Turkey and Switzerland just a few weeks earlier. I'm old enough to remember when every former USMNT member with a podcast melted down because a handful of Europe-based players declined a call-up for the Gold Cup. I'm old enough to remember when, a couple months…...
