Mauricio Pochettino: ‘If you have not scored four or five goals, the disappointment is massive’

“In the beginning, it was really painful to watch Tottenham’s games, really painful,” Mauricio Pochettino says, the emotion rising, seemingly out of nowhere. “Because when you feel a club is like home, it’s not easy to split from this feeling.”

It is Wednesday afternoon, Pochettino is zooming in from Paris Saint-Germain’s training ground and England is on his mind, partly because his team are at Manchester City in Champions League Group A this Wednesday coming. But mainly it is because of Spurs. “Today is 17 November,” the manager continues. “And in two days, it is the anniversary. The two years since we left Tottenham. It’s in my mind, no?”

Thomas Tuchel feeling festive even as Chelsea look to weather harsh winter

Whatever happens when Chelsea visit Aston Villa on Sunday evening, Thomas Tuchel is bound to be in more of a festive mood than he was last year. “I’m very confident that I will survive Christmas with my job this year,” Tuchel said, thinking back to Paris Saint-Germain axing him on Christmas Eve 12 months ago. “We are in a fine place. We are not happy with the results we had in the home games: Burnley, Everton and Manchester United. But we are confident. We are competitive.”

The German’s spirits were high after Chelsea set up a Carabao Cup semi-final against Tottenham by winning 2-0 at Brentford on Wednesday night. After a week of fretting over positive Covid tests, suddenly the air felt a little lighter. Tuchel had seen Chelsea k…

The USWNT enter the World Cup loved, despised and still influential

A seven-a-side match featuring a collection of retired Wrexham pros and guests against a team of mostly retired US women’s players isn’t particularly newsworthy. But when the score wound up 12-0 in favor of the men, the knives were out.

Some outlets, notably Fox News, either ignorantly or deliberately misidentified the American players as “the US women’s team”. Some played up Heather O’Reilly’s playful callout of Wrexham’s celebrity owner Ryan Reynolds as a hysterical, delusional fit. From newsrooms to their parents’ basements, men rejoiced at the supposed humbling of women who dared to demand a place in the sports marketplace.

Will Bayern Munich find their new goal machine by signing Harry Kane?

Tottenham fans are resigned to Harry Kane’s departure this summer. While some are keen to put an end to the saga once and for all, Spurs losing their star striker would have a significant impact on Ange Postecoglou’s first season in charge. Only Erling Haaland (36) scored more goals than Kane (30) in the Premier League last term. There is an argument to be made that the latter’s goal haul in this Spurs side is more impressive than the Manchester City striker’s maiden campaign.

The question now is where next for Kane. Bayern Munich are the favourites to secure his services, even after a Bild reporter’s bizarre shirt stunt during a recent Tottenham press conference. The aim now is for both Bayern and Spurs to agree a suitable fee bef…

Pruis denies safety concerns for Brazil 2014

FIFA security adviser Andre Pruis is confident Brazil has the proper safety plans in place to successfully host the 2014 World Cup.

The build up to next year s tournament has been dogged by construction delays and civil unrest across Brazil.

But Pruis, who was involved with the security team for the World Cup in South Africa in 2010, says he has full confidence in the organisers in Brazil.

If you ask me whether I have faith in the security establishment in Brazil, I immediately must say yes, Pruis said.

Not only planning with them but working with them during the Confederations Cup and it s clear to me that excellent plans are in place and committed members are ready to implement the plans.

During the whole of the Confederations Cup only 14 incidents of the…

Euro 2012 Group A preview: Poland v Czech Republic

Despite two good performances at Euro 2012, co-hosts Poland must win their final group game against the Czech Republic to advance from Group A.

Poland have drawn their opening two group matches of the European Championship and know that anything other than victory on Saturday against the Czechs will mean their time at the tournament is over.

Greece fought back for a 1-1 draw in Poland s first match of Euro 2012 and then showed plenty of determination to manage the same score against Russia on Tuesday.

But with the Czechs beating Greece 2-1 on Tuesday, Poland need to win to qualify for the quarter-finals.

Russia top Group A with four points, ahead of Czech Republic (three points), Poland (two) and Greece (one).

To achieve victory on Saturday, Pola…
