Bremer reveals Juventus crisis talks after embattled giants reach Coppa Italia semi-finals

Gleison Bremer said his Juventus team-mates have pledged to ignore the Bianconeri s off-pitch woes after scoring the winner in Thursday s Coppa Italia quarter-final against Lazio.

Bremer diverted Filip Kostic s cross home with a glancing header on the stroke of half-time as Juve clinched a 1-0 win over the Biancocelesti, teeing up a semi-final tie against Inter.

Speaking after his goal sent Juve to their eighth Coppa Italia semi-final in nine seasons, Bremer admitted off-pitch issues had impacted the team in recent weeks, but revealed the squad s pledge to redis…

England’s World Cup dreams end in Sydney as Spain prove too good in final

England’s dream of lifting a first World Cup was dashed at the final hurdle after Olga Carmona’s first-half strike proved enough to secure Spain a 1-0 victory in Sydney.

Sarina Wiegman’s side still achieved a best-ever second-place finish, but that will be little consolation to the Lionesses, who came within inches of an opener when Lauren Hemp clipped the crossbar in the first half.

FIFA Best goalkeeper Mary Earps produced several fine saves to keep England in the contest, including the vital block to deny Jennifer Hermoso’s second-half spot kick as her determined team-mates tried to stage a comeback.

Our dream comes to an end at the final hurdle.

They returned to fifth spot, just a point adrift of the top four, with games against Luton, Nottingham Forest and Fulham coming up next.

Inter win Serie A 2020-21: Lukaku inspires Scudetto triumph to complete tale of redemption

The 2018-19 season was not one Manchester United fans would remember particularly fondly, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer s appointment provided cause for optimism.
