UEFA has just issued a new statement condemning the deadline FIFA has set for federations to back its commercial plan or be excluded from the one-off payment if they reject the proposal.
For UEFA, that ultimatum "says it all" about the plan's true intentions. The organization argues that FIFA is using football to enrich itself and its friends.
The statement says that UEFA has held talks with numerous stakeholders from across the football world. According to the body, there is "significant and growing" opposition to the plan among those actors.
UEFA argues that football can grow "in the right way," without resorting to this kind of financial pressure on federations. It calls for priority to be given to federations, clubs, leagues, players, and fans.
The standoff adds to the growing tension between UEFA and FIFA over the plan to open up to private investors. The two bodies are thus facing a new chapter in their clash over commercial control of football.

The Clash is expected to have a new home in 2027. According to The Athletic's Jordan Bianchi, the Clash is expected to return to Daytona International Speedway after a six-year hiatus. After a two-year run at Bowman Gray Stadium, NASCAR will go back to Daytona for its opening exhibition event.
According to Bianchi, the Clash at Daytona is expected to be held on Saturday, February 13, 2027, which is one day before the Super Bowl and a week before the Daytona 500. The NASCAR insider also says a new sponsor is expected to partner with the Clash next season.
NASCAR should run the Clash at Daytona, as there is no better fit for the opening weekend of the season. While Bowman Gray and Los Angeles put on good shows, Daytona is where the Clash belongs. The 2027 NASCAR season isn't here yet, but excitement is already in the air about the possibility.

Tottenham Hotspur continue their pre-season schedule with a clash against Australian outfit Sydney FC on Wednesday at the Allianz Stadium.
Spurs head into this game in strong form under new manager Roberto De Zerbi, having secured two consecutive wins without conceding a goal. Their preparations began with a narrow 1-0 victory over Milton Keynes Dons before they travelled to Australia and New Zealand for their summer tour.
That positive start carried on into their next outing, where they recorded a 2-0 win over Auckland FC, with Dane Scarlett and Richarlison getting on the scoresheet.

Roberto De Zerbi is expected to name a significantly stronger starting XI for this encounter at the Allianz Stadium.

The AI memory supercycle has emerged as one of 2026's most defining stories, and also one of its most contested. Hyperscaler capital expenditure is expected to reach $750 billion this year, with Goldman Sachs forecasting $7.6 trillion in total AI infrastructure spending through 2031, resulting in a supply shortage of NAND and DRAM memory as data center demand for high-performance storage clashes against the chipmakers' capacity limitations.
That scarcity has been aggravated by reports that TSMC may boost contract chip manufacturing prices by up to 10% in 2027, with some products facing increases of up to 20%, owing to increased materials, equipment, and overseas facility development expenses.
Sandisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) is one of the names that have benefited the most from the supercycle. Since its February 2025 spinoff from Western Digital at $35.06 per share, Sandisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) has become the single best-performing stock in the S&P 500, climbing up to 858% at its late-June peak on the back of explosive fundamentals: fiscal Q3 2026 revenue reached $5.95 billion, up 97% sequentially and 251% year-over-year, with datacenter revenue specifically up 645% year-over-year.
Management anticipates continued sequential acceleration in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, with total revenue expected to range between $7.75 billion and $8.25 billion and non-GAAP earnings per share between $30 and $33, as gross margins increase to near 80%. More crucially, Sandisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) reported that its remaining performance obligations and contracted backlog came in between $41.6 billion and $42 billion. Sandisk's entire 2026 enterprise AI storage capacity is sold out under long-term agreements, thus locking in multibillion-dollar cash flows for the rest of the calendar year.
Despite its strong operational reports, Sandisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) has not been immune to macroeconomic turbulence. In mid-July, shares fell 8% to 15% across a number of sessions, contributing to a 39% slide from late-June record highs, as the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell more than 20%. According to market ****** ysts, this pullback is the result of an industry-wide valuation adjustment rather than a structural decline in memory demand or corporate earnings power.

Chicago — Conference realignment has thrown a wrench in many of college football's traditional rivalries. At least one Big Ten coach says he feels a new one brewing with Michigan.
Tuesday at Big Ten Media Days, USC head coach Lincoln Riley said that the past two season's games against Michigan have taken on the air of a rivalry. And though the Wolverines aren't on the schedule this season, he's looking forward to building more history with the Big Ten's traditional teams.
"This has got a little bit of juice behind it," Riley said. "Whether it's at the Big House or at the Coliseum, those two programs walk on the field, those two helmets walk on the field, it's like, ***** , you know. This is real. It's pretty cool, and I think everybody kind of feels that."
Michigan's Kalel Mullings ran in a 1-yard, fourth down touchdown with 37 seconds left to beat USC, 27-24, in a ranked clash at Michigan Stadium in 2024. The next year, USC pounded Michigan 31-13 in Los Angeles.
No, this quote-unquote rivalry isn't replacing the Battle for the Jeweled Shillelagh for Southern Cal, or surpassing The Game in importance for Michigan. The Trojans will always have beef with Notre Dame and UCLA — no matter what scheduling drama there may be with the Irish. And the Wolverines' rivals of Ohio State and Michigan State carry a certain regional animosity that is as hot as ever these days.

ONE Championship has finalized the ONE Fight Night 46 on Prime Video lineup with the addition of a highly anticipated flyweight MMA contest between New Zealand-Vietnamese finisher Viet Anh Do and Brazilian promotional newcomer Davi "Ajuricaba" Brandao.
The bout goes down on Friday, August 14, inside Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on a blockbuster card headlined by a ONE Women's Strawweight Muay Thai World Championship clash between reigning two-sport queen Stella "Always Hungry" Hemetsberger and dangerous Russian challenger Natalia "Karelian Lynx" Diachkova.
The 29-year-old Auckland MMA and Oliver MMA South Auckland product carries a perfect 6-0 career MMA record into this contest, all six victories coming via finish, and a 5-0 promotional ledger built on a series of increasingly emphatic performances that have made him one of the most talked-about stars in the flyweight MMA division.
After competing at ONE Warrior Series twice in 2019, Do returned to the ONE Friday Fights event series in 2025 with a TKO victory in less than three minutes, then followed it up nearly two months later by flatlining Jean Claude Saclag in under a minute.
The performance that defined his rise came in May this year, when he demolished South Korea's "Money" Kyungjung Kim via TKO to claim not only the win and a performance bonus but the coveted US$100,000 main roster contract that brings him to August 14.

It's no secret how badly Bayern Munich wanted to sign Nick Woltemade, but there was a ceiling to what they were willing to pay in order to get him. Apparently, that ceiling was offensive to VfB Stuttgart chairman Alexander Wehrle.
According to a report from Goal, Wehrle took a "swipe" at Bayern Munich during the club's annual general meeting, addressing both transfer negotiations and fan support.
Speaking to club members, Wehrle revisited the high-profile transfer saga involving the striker. Despite rumors that Woltemade had previously settled on personal terms with the Bavarian giants, Bayern's valuation peaked at €60 million, considerably less than the selling price. Stuttgart held firm on their evaluation of at least €75 million for the attacker before eventually reaching an agreement with Newcastle United, who met, and exceeded, their asking price. Wehrle dismissed any notion that Stuttgart was acting out of spite towards Bayern, explaining that the financial proposal from Munich amounted to little more than "a ****** er pretzel."
The Stuttgart executive also took a direct jab at the atmosphere created by the traveling support from Munich. Reflecting on their DFB-Pokal final clash in May, Wehrle claimed that their supporters completely dominated the stadium, and that he couldn't hear any Bayern fans in attendance.
Stuttgart's firm negotiating stance ultimately secured a record fee from the Magpies. But on the other hand, Wehrle's cheeky comments regarding fan noise were clearly designed to rally the local faithful, after his statements were met with "thunderous applause."

IslamMakhachev believes he already knows Ian Garry'sstrategy for their upcoming Ultimate Fighting Championship ****** le clash.

The reigning welterweight champion's first ****** le defense will beagainst Garry at UFC330 on Aug. 15 at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia and theRussian says he has spent his entire training camp preparing forhis Irish counterpart's evasive, movement-heavy fighting style.
Ahead of his ****** le defense, Makhachev broke down the matchup andGarry's skill set. The former lightweight champ claims he'sprepared to chase "The Future" in their upcoming bout, given howthe latter has mostly fought on the back foot.

"His skills: I just have to run in this camp too much because Ihave to follow him," Makhachev told MMA Fighting. "He runs toomuch. I know his game plan. We always see his fights. He has thesame style always. I will try to catch him, take him down, justwhat I did with my old opponents."

Garry has trained alongside former UFC lightweight championCharles"Do Bronxs" Oliveira, who fought Makhachev for the 155-poundtitle in 2022. However, Makhachev doesn't believe his formeropponent has much advice to offer, especially considering he madelight work of the Brazilian, submitting him in the second round oftheir clash.

"Charles is going to teach him how to tap fast. That's it,"Makhachev added.

The game against York was a perfect start to the 2026/2027 season. Class weather, a regiment of the red and white army and a strong display on the pitch. As one of the many that travelled, it turned out to be a great day and really got me looking forward to the games to come.
Despite being on the wrong end of the result during our clash with Liverpool, there were still lots of positives to take and it didn't dampen my mood.
In fairness, that was mainly due to the magnificence of Enzo Le Fée. Is it possible to be addicted to watching a footballer play? If so, I think I am. How on earth did we have him in the Championship?
Seeing the Lads in action just brings me so much joy — as I am sure it does to us all, and I simply can't wait for the start of the season and especially the first home game against Fulham. Hopefully some more bright sunshine, seeing some new signings in action and the Stadium of Light in full voice.
After knee surgery in April, I missed out on attending the last few games of the 2025/2026 season.

Chelsea will kick off their pre-season schedule on Tuesday with a clash against Australia's Western Sydney Wanderers at the Accor Stadium.
This match signals the start of a new chapter for the club, as Xabi Alonso officially takes charge as head coach. The Blues are effectively starting from scratch after a disappointing 2025/26 Premier League campaign, which saw them finish 10th. With no pre-season matches played so far, Chelsea head into this fixture short on match fitness and overall rhythm, making their Australian opener a challenging starting point.
The squad travelling to Australia is far from full strength, with several important players unavailable.
A number of key names are still recovering after international duty, including Reece James, Trevoh Chalobah, Pedro Neto, and Enzo Fernández, all of whom featured in the latter stages of the World Cup.
In addition, summer signings Emmanuel Emegha and Geovany Quenda have remained in London as they deal with minor injury concerns.

SINGAPORE, July 24 (Reuters) - For months, Chinese chip manufacturer ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) had been hiking prices on Huawei, one of the country's biggest technology companies. The chipmaker held firm when Huawei demanded relief from the escalating costs, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The standoff came to a head on CXMT's factory floor in June. A group of engineers from a chipmaking-equipment vendor with deep strategic ties to Huawei had been working in the cleanrooms at CXMT's core research and development zone in Hefei, Anhui province. Without warning, CXMT ordered the engineers, who had been helping with equipment maintenance, to pack their tools and ‌leave the factory floor immediately, the two sources said.
Executives at the Huawei-connected equipment vendor, SiCarrier, concluded the confrontation was the result of the power struggle between CXMT and Huawei, the people told Reuters. The companies still do business but the engineers haven't been allowed back into the R&D zone, the two people said.
CXMT, Huawei and SiCarrier didn't ‌respond to questions about the incident.
The clash illustrates the changing dynamics of China's semiconductor industry. CXMT has risen to become the world's fourth-biggest maker of memory, including the DRAM variety used in smartphones, laptops and servers. Now, the company is powerful enough to charge prices even Huawei can't stomach.

A featherweight clash between Patricio Pitbull and Doo Ho Choi is on for UFC 331 on Sept. 19; multiple people with knowledge of the situation confirmed the news to MMA Fighting.
The numbered event will take place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The promotion has yet to announce the headlining attraction for UFC 331.
Pitbull (37-9) attempts to rebound from a decision defeat to Aaron Pico in April, a result that dropped his UFC record to 1-2.
The Brazilian is a former two-division champion in Bellator, going 24-6 in that company before joining the UFC, and is currently ranked No. 15 on the MMA Fighting Global Rankings. Pitbull's lone UFC victory was a decision over Dan Ige.
Choi (17-4-1) won three straight since 2024, stopping Bill Algeo and Nate Landwehr that year before coming back to action this past May to score a knockout and earn a $50,000 check for a "Fight of the Night" win over Daniel Santos.

Tyson Fury will return to the ring today, boxing in a warm-up bout for his long-awaited fight against Anthony Joshua.
In Thailand, where Fury has been training throughout the past year, the British heavyweight will face ex-world-title challenger Mariusz Wach, one day before Joshua fights Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia.
• Fury vs Wach LIVE: Follow along with the Independent
Should Fury and his “AJ” win these contests, they will finally clash towards the end of this year, with a November showdown at Wembley Stadium possible – if the fight begins in the early hours of the morning, apparently.
Some might say that Fury, 37, has already had a warm-up for his planned fight with Joshua; in April, Fury ended his fifth retirement and outpointed Arslanbek Makhmudov in Tottenham. But the former world heavyweight champion wants to go again, facing Wach in a fight whose proceeds will go to charity, according to Fury.

Six months removed from a destructive knockout victory over Jake Paul, heavyweight superstar Anthony Joshua is back in the ring with eyes on a blockbuster clash against Tyson Fury later this year.
But before turning to Fury, Joshua must get past Kristian Prenga on July 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, his first bout since surviving a car accident in Nigeria in December.
"It’s no secret I’ve taken some time to consolidate and rebuild to be ready for stepping back into the ring and (this fight) is the next step on that journey," Joshua said in April.
While scarcely known on the heavyweight scene, Prenga is riding a 16-fight knockout streak. He has scored three-straight first-round stoppages, but against opponents with a combined record of 38-28-5.
"Anthony Joshua is a great fighter, but he made a terrible miscalculation in picking me as his opponent," Prenga said. "This is the kind of fight that changes everything in my life and his. I know they have big plans ahead after this fight. I know they are overlooking me. I’m happy about that. I will derail their plans and shock the world . . . ”

The UFC Fight Night 282 main event is locked in after Magomed Ankalaev and Bogdan Guskov did their jobs on the scale at Friday's official weigh-in.
Former light heavyweight champion Ankalaev (21-2-1 MMA, 12-2-1 UFC) will attempt to rebound from losing the belt to Alex Pereira in October when he clashes with surging contender Guskov (18-3-1 MMA, 4-1-1 UFC), who stepped into the fight on short notice after Khalil Rountree Jr. withdrew.
Despite serving as a replacement, Guskov had no issues on the scale as he hit 205.5 pounds. There was no drama for Ankalaev, either, because he registered at 205.5 pounds.
The stage is now set for Saturday's five-round headliner, which takes place at Etihad Arena on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, and streams on Paramount+ beginning at 9 a.m. ET/6 a.m. PT.

Manchester United continue their pre-season schedule on Friday with an away clash against Rosenborg, marking their second friendly of the summer.
The Red Devils ended last season on a high under Michael Carrick, collecting 12 wins, three draws, and just two losses to finish third in the Premier League. Despite that impressive run, they have not carried much of that momentum into the new campaign.
Their pre-season began with an unexpected 1-0 defeat to Wrexham in Helsinki last weekend. At this stage, Carrick's main priorities remain improving match fitness and testing tactical setups, especially as several senior players are still returning gradually after participating in the World Cup.
Michael Carrick has named a 25-man squad for the trip to Norway to face Rosenborg. While several high-profile players are still unavailable following their international duties, the travelling group still includes a solid core of first-team options.
New signing Andrey Santos is likely to feature again in midfield as he continues to settle into the system. He may be joined by young talent Tyler Fletcher if Mason Mount is given a rest for this fixture.

Baseball fans in Greenville were in for a wild night on Wednesday. They witnessed a home run and a full-fledged brawl within a matter of seconds. During Greenville Drive's victory over the Hub City Spartanburgers, a home run celebration by one of the Red Sox's top prospects sparked a benches-clearing brawl as players from both teams clashed on the field. The 19-year-old Red Sox prospect was eventually ejected from the game.
"Red Sox #3 prospect Justin Gonzales got ejected for slapping the catcher after his home run," Jomboy Media captioned their X post.
Against Hub City, Gonzales drove in the winning runs with a massive three-run blast. He came to bat with Greenville already leading and extended it to 13-6. After launching his 13 homer of the season, Gonzales took his time around the bases while admiring his shot. As he crossed home plate, catcher Cal Stark threw some words in Gonzales' way, which clearly did not sit well with the young outfielder.
Teammates rushed in to hold him back, but keeping the 6-foot-5, 210-pound Gonzales in check was easier said than done. Even the umpires were reduced to mere spectators as Gonzales broke free and slapped Stark's mask, which absorbed most of the impact of the slap.
As the incident unfolded, both teams flooded the field, and the heat of the moment was hard to miss. Meanwhile, Gonzales' Greenville teammates struggled to get him away from the field and inside the dugout.

Santiago Ponzinibbio is on the verge of hitting a big milestone in his fighting career. Saturday, the Argentinian will compete in his 40th professional MMA fight – a number few reach in their careers.
"Yeah, I did know that, and that's without counting the fights from 'TUF,' which were four," Ponzinibbio told Hablemos MMA in Spanish.
Ponzinibbio (30-9 MMA, 12-8 UFC), a longtime welterweight, returns against Sam Patterson (14-3-1 MMA, 4-2 UFC) on the preliminary card of UFC Fight Night 282 (Paramount+) at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. Ponzinibbio revealed this wasn't the original matchup, but in a way, he's glad he drew a younger opponent, as he gets an opportunity to show he can hang with newer talent.
"I was supposed to fight Jack Hermansson, but he ended up getting injured, and I was offered Patterson," Ponzinibbio said. "It's a much different challenge, but it is still a challenge. It's one of those clashes of generations that the company likes to make, and it's a great opportunity to show that I'm still good and relevant and that I can hang with the new generation. I'm not focused on him. I'm focused on me."
Apart from competing in his 40th fight Saturday, Ponzinibbio is also just weeks away from his 40th birthday. He knows he's reaching the end of his fighting days, but retirement is not something he thinks about much.
