FIFA considering new ‘mercy rule’ to help teams after Man Utd’s 7-0 loss vs Liverpool

Premier League

FIFA are considering a new rule to help clubs who are being humiliated by their opponents after Manchester United's 7-0 loss to Liverpool. Fifa’s referees’ chief Pierluigi Collina questioned Andy Madley's decision to add only three minutes of injury time in the humiliation at Anfield. But, he admitted FIFA could bring in a "mercy rule" in those situations. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Madley added just three minutes to the end of Liverpool's big win, despite six goals being scored in the game and 10 substitutions being made. FIFA are still pushing for lengthier stoppage time, as seen at the World Cup. But, the Premier League are yet to adopt that.

Premier League, Ligue 1, Sports

Former Manchester United player Patrice Evra believes Lionel Messi would have won 15 Ballons d’Or if his work ethic was similar to that of Cristiano Ronaldo. The French defender was teammates with Ronaldo between 2006 and 2009 winning three Premier League titles and the UEFA Champions League. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The age long debate over which of the two players is superior has seen Evra always side with the Portuguese star but now the former United left-back has given his opinion on what separates the two. “I want to explain why I say Ronaldo every time.

Chelsea stars clash with Graham Potter over Mason Mount

Premier League

Graham Potter has annoyed some Chelsea players in the dressing room by not starting Mason Mount regularly, according to reports. The Independent claims that the England international is a popular member of the squad at Stamford Bridge. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); It is believed that some Chelsea figures are not pleased with how Mount’s game time has dropped recently, starting only one of the last five matches across all competitions. The report explains that Potter’s view is taking the easy solution by leaving out the quieter Mount, who is less likely to kick up a fuss about his limited game time. But that doesn’t sit well with certain members of the Blues players dropping the midfielder, though. Mount, who has been one of the club's best play...

UEFA, Bundesliga, Premier League

New fan footage has revealed Jude Bellingham got into an ugly argument with Marc Cucurella after Chelsea’s win over Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Bellingham was frustrated in the final moments of the game and was trying a little too desperately to force an equaliser, giving the ball away frequently. He even ploughed through Reece James at one point – earning a yellow card – and also clashed with Chilwell when he went down injured late on, trying to pick the defender up off the floor. ???? ????????...
