Former Inter president Massimo Moratti thinks it is too soon to criticise Frank de Boer s impact at the club, but called on the Dutchman to improve his defence.

De Boer was installed as head coach at San Siro last month and has failed to deliver a win from his first two competitive games in charge.

A 2-0 defeat at Chievo and a 1-1 draw at home against Palermo have left De Boer under pressure to get a victory at Pescara on September 11, but Moratti says the former Holland defender must re-think his defensive strategy.

The defence against [Chievo] Verona? Well, he has to work to not create additional criticism, Moratti told Gazzetta dello Sport.

He should take advice well from those around him, his staff, and must understand Italian football by studying…

October was a busy month, seeing the launch of a number of major new titles, and many of them performed well in the United States upon release, as per sales data for the month shared by Circana analyst Mat Piscatella on BlueSky. 

Unsurprisingly, on top of the software charts for the month is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, which has also instantly become the third-highest selling game of the year in the US. In terms of dollar sales, its launch is 23 bigger than that of last year’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, with 82 percent of its October sales coming on PS5 and PS4. 

Trailing behind in second place is Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO, which has also got off to a quick start. It has instantly become the fourth-highest selling game o…

Abou Diaby appears likely to be offered a new deal by Arsenal, providing he can prove his fitness and put together a run of games before the end of the season.

Diaby s time at Arsenal has been heavily disrupted by injuries, with the midfielder featuring in just 16 Premier League matches since the start of the 2011-12 campaign.

He has been limited to a solitary League Cup outing this term, having made only one substitute appearance in the previous season.

However, Wenger hinted that a new contract could yet be awarded to Diaby, whose current deal expires in June, if he is able to make an impression over the coming weeks.

I had a chat with him and told him how I can envisage the future, said the Arsenal manager.

He has to make a decision. Of cour…

James Ward-Prowse has been called into England’s squad for the Euro 2020 qualifiers against Czech Republic and Montenegro.

England boss Gareth Southgate is a long-time admirer of the Southampton midfielder, who has hit a rich vein of form under Ralph Hasenhuttl at St Mary s.

Set-piece specialist Ward-Prowse has scored six goals in his previous nine Premier League games, including finding the net in each of Saints  last three outings – a run concluded by a stunning free-kick winner against Tottenham.

The 24-year-old, who won his only previous senior cap against Germany in 2017, will join up with Southgate s squad on Monday following a trio of withdrawals.

Midfield duo Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Fabian Delph are out, while Delph s Manchester City team-mat…

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas believes Didier Deschamps should bring Karim Benzema back into the international setup as the Real Madrid striker would bring a new dimension to the France team.

Benzema has not played for Les Bleus since October 2015, having been excluded from selection contention for Euro 2016 on home soil after being charged in connection with an alleged attempt to blackmail his international team-mate Mathieu Valbuena over a sex tape.

A favourable decision by France s Court of Cassation in July led the striker s lawyer to suggest the case against Benzema could now be dropped.

However, the striker was not handed a recall as France booked their spot at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

French Football Federation president Noel Le Graet has c…

Market: Stoke City win

Odds: 6/5 @

Looking to extend their stay in the play-off spots in midweek, Stoke will make the trip to the City Ground when they face off against Bristol City on Wednesday night.

Starting with the hosts, throwing away the lead and eventually having to settle for a single point against Blackburn on home soil, Bristol City find themselves in the midst of a real struggle. Once again still firmly looking over their shoulder at the drop zone, the Robins know that they must try and find some stability. Making the decision to stick with Head Coach Nigel Pearson, Wednesday s hosts have won just one of their last seven Championship contests, a run that stems back to October 2nd. Mustering just four points on their downbeat run of form, the one-time…

The UK and Ireland s joint bid to host Euro 2028 has been submitted to UEFA, with 14 venues under consideration to host games at the tournament.

Football associations of England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland lodged an expression of interest in hosting the event in March, pledging to organise an unrivalled tournament.

Turkey, Italy and Russia have all previously professed their willingness to host the European Championships in either 2028 or 2032, with the latter of the trio doing so despite being banned from UEFA and FIFA competitions following the country s invasion of Ukraine.

Should the joint United Kingdom and Ireland bid triumph, games could be staged at nine stadiums in England, two in the Republic of Ireland, and one in eac…

Paraguay coach Ramon Diaz said their pressure and half-time moves brought about Argentina s downfall in their Copa America clash on Saturday.

Coaching against his native country, Diaz masterminded Paraguay s comeback from 2-0 down to earn a 2-2 draw to snare a point from their Group B opener in La Serena.

Basel forward Derlis Gonzalez came on at half-time for Richard Ortiz, and Paraguay were more dangerous as a result and they capitalised on the openness of the second half, via Nelson Valdez and Lucas Barrios goals.

When asked if his side were vastly different before and after the break, Diaz replied: Yes, I agree with that. 

I was worried about the first half because we weren t at our level. We also knew we were facing one of the best national teams in…
