Dominik Szoboszlai and Andre Silva struck in either half as Manchester City fell to a 2-1 defeat at RB Leipzig in the Champions League.
Premier League leaders City headed to the Red Bull Arena on a 14-game unbeaten run against German opposition in the competition, including a 6-3 home win in the reverse fixture, but Szoboszlai broke the deadlock after 24 minutes this time.
Phil Foden responded by rattling the woodwork before the break, yet Leipzig scored the second goal when Silva converted on the counter, before Riyad Mahrez pulled one back for the visitors.
Pep Guardiola s hopes of a recovery were hit by Kyle Walker s red card, although his side had already secured top spot in Group A, with this result – combined with Club Brugge s defeat at Paris Saint-G…
Edin Dzeko and Denzel Dumfries guided Inter to a much-needed 2-0 win over 10-man Viktoria Plzen, kick-starting the Nerazzurri s Champions League campaign.
Defeat to Bayern Munich last Wednesday meant Inter needed to respond in the Czech Republic, and they never looked likely to drop points after Dzeko swept home in the first half.
Pavel Bucha s straight red card cemented Inter s superiority, with Dumfries making the points safe when Dzeko turned provider with 20 minutes remaining.
With Simone Inzaghi s men facing criticism after an inconsistent start to the season, the win provides a welcome boost ahead of the daunting prospect of back-to-back meetings with Group C rivals Barcelona.
Inter needed just 20 minutes to turn their dominance of possession int…
Best Odds: 8/11
Bookmaker:
Looking to sign off Group A with three victories on the bounce, Germany will meet Switzerland at Deutsche Bank Park on Sunday night.
Switzerland
Starting with Switzerland, while Switzerland might have been disappointed earlier in the week as they eventually had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate against Scotland, Murat Yakin’s side are sat in the driving seat to follow Sunday’s opponents out of Group A. Opening their European Championship adventure on June 15th with an eye-catching 3-1 victory against Hungary, the Rossocrociati should find the mood in their camp at a real high. Despite failing to find much fluidity during their EURO 24 qualifying campaign last year, the Swiss have suffered just a single defeat from any of their previou…
With Drew Brees jumping into the red-hot pickleball space and retired head coach Sean Payton putting his feet up (before picking out homes in Dallas), no one would have blamed the New Orleans Saints for tearing down the Mardi Gras float in 2022.
But, with veteran defensive coordinator Dennis Allen taking over the head coaching reigns and long-time Payton staffer Pete Carmichael calling the offense, it’s business as usual in the Big Easy. That means pushing for a postseason spot.
The Saints’ NFL odds are split on the success of NOLA this season, with a break-even win total and the playoff props projecting a fight to the finish for New Orleans. Can the good times continue to roll in the Crescent City? We find out with our New Orleans Saints 202…

Woohoo, soccer people. We're back. You're reading this right here, right now, because we made it through the summer offseason, and Premier League soccer is back. This is a very good thing, because while it doesn't appear that England's top flight is the no-doubt-about-it best league in the world, it is definitely the most competitive and, dare we say, the most entertaining as well. All of this is to say, before we get started, that I have no fucking clue what's going to transpire between now and the Premier League trophy gets hoisted in May. The reason why, besides May taking place in the future, is the parity in the top third of the league. Since Manchester City came under new ownership in 2008, the expectation was that they would join England's top four C…
