A top female referee has hit out at the sport's sexist environment and claimed she was once told to tone down her looks after 'attracting too much attention'. Manuela Nicolosi‚ 45‚ has officiated more than 200 professional matches across men's and women's football during her career - and has even been named in Fortune Italia's 50 Most Powerful Women. Boasting an impressive CV‚ having officiated at both the 2016 and 2020 Olympic Games‚ she became the first Italian to referee a Women's World Cup final in 2019 and was an assistant during Liverpool's Super Cup victory over Chelsea that same year.

A photograph of Jude Bellingham performing an unusual training drill at Real Madrid went viral last Wednesday‚ just hours after England qualified for next summer's World Cup without him. The Real Madrid superstar‚ viewed as one of England's greatest talents‚ was surprisingly omitted from Thomas Tuchel's October squad despite his return from injury‚ forced to remain at the Bernabeu over the international break. The bold call from Tuchel ultimately paid off as England triumphed 5-0 over Latvia last Tuesday to qualify for next summer's tournament in the United States‚ Canada and Mexico - and now the Real Madrid midfielder has less than a month to prove his value to the Three Lions ahead of the next international break in November.

Roy Keane was the first to predict his own role in Saipan. 'In this bad movie I was going to be the fall guy‚' he wrote in the autobiography published a couple months after the 2002 World Cup and a couple of decades before the Pacific storm hit the big screen. It is the instance when the penny drops in Keane's own compelling account. His Republic of Ireland team-mates were not exactly with him. Even if they were not entirely with his boss Mick McCarthy either. And the moment when he begins to realise that he may have unwittingly helped McCarthy achieve what he wanted‚ because the self-destruction of his captain‚ biggest star‚ leader of all-conquering Manchester United and social hand grenade came in exchange for the relief of enhanced dressing room harmony.
