Jürgen Klopp has been handed advice on how his Germany side should set up, just days after accepting the role and threatening to walk away. The former Liverpool manager was the first name the German football federation (DFB) approached after Julian Nagelsmann stepped down following a disappointing FIFA World Cup that ended with a penalty shoot-out defeat to Paraguay in the Round of 32.
Klopp faces a considerable challenge, given it's been 10 years since the national team claimed victory in a knockout-round fixture at a major tournament. As Reds supporters will attest, Klopp operates on his own terms and won't tolerate any external meddling.
Nevertheless, that hasn't prevented German soccer icon and DFB sporting director Rudi Völler from offering Klopp his thoughts on how the team should operate. He believes Klopp's team should take their cues from world champions Spain, rather than runners-up Argentina, who have attracted widespread condemnation for their behavior in the Final, which saw them deploy cynical tactics before instigating a post-match confrontation, as per The Liverpool Echo.

Although training camp is back and the New Orleans Saints are finally on the field again, the business side of football always tends to creep in. While most were worried about rookie Jordyn Tyson's availability for drills, which turned out to be full participation, maybe some attention should have been put on Chris Olave's contract.
Yesterday, in Saints General manager Mickey Loomis' press conference with Saints media, he spoke on the contract talks and had nothing negative to say. Olave was good to go for training camp, and his presence was never in question, but on the first day, he did sit out team drills due to the contract situation.
Contract situations like these can often cause issues, but this one may be different. While other players around the NFL are fully sitting out, Olave just chose not to participate in team drills. This is similar to what Alvin Kamara did a few years ago when he was looking for a new contract, and it never caused issues. Instead of holding out, Olave is holding in, so he is still a participant, just not fully.
This move puts just enough pressure on the front office to get this deal done quickly, and with what Loomis said about those negotiations, that should come sooner rather than later.

NFL training camp season has arrived. Prepare for the onslaught of information, rumors and hype pieces. But fantasy football managers shouldn't be wary of the influx of info — Scott Pianowski has you covered with one key nugget to know for every team in each division. Next up is the AFC North.

Harold Fannin Jr. has a Yahoo ADP in the mid-60s, and it makes sense. He finished as the TE6 last year, and fellow tight end David Njoku was not retained. But Cleveland significantly improved its receiver group this year (widening the passing tree), and the quarterback collection is still suspect. So much of fantasy success is tied to environment, and I'm worried the uber-talented Fannin will have a difficult time overcoming his context this fall. The talent leaps off the screen, but he's not a cheap pick like he was last year.
I often have a soft spot for veteran players who command a boring discount, but I can't quite commit to DK Metcalf this year. He's entering his age-29 season and his yards per target has fallen the last two years. More importantly, the Steelers brought Aaron Rodgers back for his age-43 season – so we have to be muted with our expectations about this team's pace and passing volume. For all of Metcalf's talent, he'll probably miss out on 1,000 yards for the third straight season.
We think of the Bengals as a carnival team (fun offense, leaky defense) and that means it's a blast to invest in the passing game. But save some room for Chase Brown, too. Brown is coming off an RB8 season (despite Joe Burrow missing nine games) and there's little on the depth chart after Brown. And while Brown is a capable runner, his receiving chops (69-437-5 last year) keep him in the field in all packages. Brown makes a lot of sense as a mid-second-round pick.

Falkirk boss John McGlynn insists there has been "no contact" from the Scottish FA over the national team manager vacancy but wouldn't be drawn on whether he'd be interested in taking the job.
Scotland are searching for a new boss after Steve Clarke left following this summer's World Cup where his side failed to progress out of the group stage.
After securing back-to-back promotions with the Bairns and a top-six finish on their first season back in the top flight, McGlynn was tipped as an excellent choice to succeed Clark by former Scotland manager Craig Levain.
While the 64-year-old insists he's flattered to be linked to the position, he's fully committed to Falkirk.
"It's amazing for high-profile people in the game to be pushing my name for that job," McGlynn told Sky Sports.

Teenage forward Luca Williams-Barnett stole the show in Tottenham's 4-2 penalty shootout win over Sydney FC in a sign of how the club have changed.
The 17-year-old, who started the second half on the left but moved into his favoured attacking midfield position, opted for the first penalty and nonchalantly chipped a panenka down the middle.
It preceded a shootout in which Sydney FC duo Joe Lacey and Alexander Popovic hit the post and had a penalty saved by goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, with Sandro Tonali, debutant Andrew Robertson and Dane Scarlett all scoring to secure victory after a 1-1 draw.
Williams-Barnett stole the show to such an extent that his manager Roberto De Zerbi was describing him as a "precious diamond" after the match.
He added: "We have to work on him in the final third and he must work hard on his physicality. I've worked with a lot of young players in my time and he's a potentially special player."

Grayscale Research says Hyperliquid's HYPE (CRYPTO: $HYPE) token remains inexpensive beside fintech and crypto stocks, even as shares of its largest public-market treasury vehicle trade lower.
The ***** et manager valued Hyperliquid using "earnings per token," applying an equity-style framework to the protocol's fee generation and token supply. Grayscale expects Hyperliquid to produce roughly $1 billion in earnings in 2027, about 20% above 2025 levels, supported by recovering crypto trading volumes and a new stablecoin revenue stream.
With approximately 270 million HYPE circulating, Grayscale expects supply to reach between 270 million and 310 million tokens by the end of 2027. That would place projected earnings per token between $3.25 and $3.75.

Packers edge rusher Micah Parsons is making good progress in his rehab from a torn ACL, but it continues to sound like he will not be ready to play at the start of the season.
While General Manager Brian Gutekunst told reporters that he's open to the possibility of Parsons coming off the active/physically unable to perform list before the end of training camp, it doesn't seem like that's going to happen.
"Yeah, I'd like to have enough flexibility to leave the door open. But that would be unlikely, just from a timing perspective," Gutekunst said in his Wednesday press conference. "We've invested a lot in him, so we want to make sure he's ready to go before we even think about putting him out there."
That being said, Parsons has made plenty of progress since suffering the injury in December.
"I may have mentioned it before, but he's a little bit of a genetic freak, so things come pretty easy to him," Gutekunst said. "Again, he's still, obviously, got a long ways to go. These are major injuries, so as you go through these things and how hard they have to work to get back, there's always going to be little setbacks here and there. But he's doing great right now."

The Green Bay Packers are opening up training camp on Wednesday, and injured players are in the spotlight as Matt LaFleur's team heads to the practice field to begin prep for the 2026 season.
Before practice, LaFleur and general manager Brian Gutekunst answered questions from the media, providing injury updates on specific players to start training camp:
Guard Aaron Banks: Gutekunst said Banks would come off the PUP list and practice in some capacity on Wednesday. The Packers placed Banks on the PUP list on Monday, but it appears his stay there will be a short one. Suggests he was dealing with a very minor issue.
Tight end Tucker Kraft: While he's starting training camp on the PUP list, Gutekunst believes Kraft will be participating "sooner rather than later." He is now roughly 8.5 months removed from surgery. The Packers are also hopefully that Kraft -- who Gutekunst compared to Christian Watson in terms of recovery from ACL surgery -- will be ready for Week 1. "The way he looks, you'd think he's ready to go." The two sides want to get a contract extension done as well, so the team will be "protective" of their start tight end coming off a major injury.
Edge rusher Micah Parsons: Gutekunst said Parsons has a "long ways to go" but is "doing great right now." The team is not expecting him to practice during training camp, although Gutekunst left the door open. He remains on schedule in his recovery. Parsons is a "genetic freak," but the Packers continue to preach patience.

Although Saquon Barkley clearly leads the Eagles' backfield, Tank Bigsby is poised to take a huge leap in his fourth NFL season. Here's why fantasy managers should reach early for the handcuff.
There is room on this team for both Barkley and Bigsby to thrive, at least relatively speaking. Barkley has had 288+ regular-season touches in four straight seasons. He's still the workhorse, and last year's letdown was predictable (as discussed last summer) given his massive 2024 workload.
Bigsby's RB55 ADP (down from RB52 three weeks ago) reflects the fantasy market's uncertainty about his usage. After earning only 61 touches last year, he's ranked behind Dylan Sampson (RB51), Isiah Pacheco (RB52), Keaton Mitchell (RB53), Emmett Johnson (RB54), and many other second- and third-stringers.
It doesn't make sense. He was among the league leaders with 3.1 yards-after-first-contact on 63 rushing attempts. He didn't get his first snap in Philly until Week 7 and frequently outplayed Barkley while running behind the same offensive line. I don't think the Eagles will overwork Barkley. 300-325 touches seems realistic. That would open the door to at least 100, or even 125, touches for Bigsby.
Volume-wise, that would probably put him in the top 50, possibly the top 45. And if Barkley is ever sidelined, Bigsby would have top-20 appeal in a plus offense.

De'Zhaun Stribling has been one of my favorite fantasy rookie wideouts, despite the fact that he started the summer behind Mike Evans, Ricky Pearsall, and Christian Kirk on the depth chart. Now Kirk is hurt. A strong camp would make Stribling one of fantasy's biggest bargains.
When the Niners selected Stribling with the first pick in the second round of this year's draft, they were investing in a potentially NFL-ready wideout. But why? Aren't they deep at receiver with Evans, Pearsall, and Kirk, along with TE George Kittle and monster pass-catching RB Christian McCaffrey? But most of these guys are on the verge of post-prime. McCaffrey is 30. Kittle and Evans are entering their age-33 seasons. Kirk will turn 30 in November.
All four -- plus Pearsall -- are sub-par on the durability scale. It would be farfetched to think that Stribling won't earn starts. Kirk has been the most likely domino to fall, as he's been frequently injured and in decline these past two years. Now that he's injured, the door is open for Stribling to seize a Week 1 starting role.
Three weeks ago, Stribling's ADP was WR68. Now it's somehow 100. The market has forgotten about him. Savvy managers shouldn't.
For a deeper dive on Stribling, listen to this podcast episode, along with this one from a few weeks earlier.

Colchester United manager Danny Cowley has said "recruitment is really tough at the moment" after his side were beaten 2-0 by Charlton Athletic in a pre-season friendly.
First-half goals from Matty Godden and Karlan Grant secured the victory for the Championship club, but after the match Cowley was happy with his side's performance.
"We didn't plan the pre-season to be easy, that's why we've played Norwich, West Ham twice, Peterborough, Charlton - so we always understood that it was going to be tough for the players. That's how we like it," Cowley told BBC Essex.
"Off the back of the goals, I was really pleased with how the team responded. Recruitment is really tough at the moment, there's no hiding place from that.
"We know what we want. We're not willing to compromise at the moment but we are trying to stay as brave as we can to get the players that we want.

The NCAA ruled that San Francisco Giants manager Tony Vitello committed a minor infraction as Tennessee baseball coach in 2022, according to an athletics department document obtained by Knox News through a public records request.
It's a belated decision.
Vitello left UT to become the Giants manager in October 2025. And the violation was committed during his recruitment of Kansas transfer shortstop Maui Ahuna, who now plays for the Giants' Double-A team in Richmond, Virginia.
This was the second violation reported that involved Vitello and Ahuna. The first appeared on a 2022 report, which found that UT booked a flight for Ahuna's recruiting visit before receiving his academic transcript.
The combination of the two violations led to Vitello's three-game suspension in the 2023 season and Ahuna missing eight games before he was ruled eligible.

After leading the United States men's national team to its best World Cup finish in two decades, Mauricio Pochettino is likely sticking around to finish what he started. The USMNT head coach is "close" to finalizing a deal with the USMNT that would keep him under contract through the 2030 World Cup, according to The Athletic.
Financial terms of the deal — which has not been finalized just yet — are not known at this time.
Pochettino had been reportedly offered a four-year extension partway through a 2026 World Cup run during which the team won their group, scored more goals than they had in any previous tournament and picked up their first knockout win in 24 years. Pochettino's current contract was set to expire now that this summer's tournament is over.
Pochettino was hired by the U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) in 2024 to take over after two failed Gregg Berhalter stints. Typically, federations try to hire international managers for a full World Cup cycle, which is every four years. But USSF's choice to re-hire (and later re-fire) Berhalter shortened the window by the time the federation landed on Pochettino to take over.
Still, in just two years, Pochettino was able to build one of the strongest U.S. squads in decades, capitalizing on the talent currently in the U.S. roster pool and putting unlikely players in the position to thrive. Though Pochettino did his best to downplay the USMNT's chances, hopes sailed high for the team coming out of the group stage.

TThe Buffalo Bills opened training camp Wednesday with nearly their entire roster on the practice field.
Wide receiver Tyrell Shavers, who is recovering from a torn ACL suffered during Buffalo's playoff win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in January, was the lone player to begin camp on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.
"Tyrell Shavers is PUP so he's the only one that won't be out there today," offensive coordinator Joe Brady said before practice. "There will be some guys that will be on a limited rep count."
That means the Bills are beginning training camp with nearly their entire roster available, a welcome change after injuries piled up late last season.
The news represents a significant turnaround from the offseason, when general manager Brandon Beane said several players were still working their way back from surgeries. Players including Michael Hoecht, DeWayne Carter, Landon Jackson and Jordan Hancock all participated in Wednesday's opening practice, though some worked on limited snap counts.

Well, it looks like plans at the quarterback position may have changed for the Carolina Panthers.
According to ESPN senior NFL insider Adam Schefter, the Panthers are bringing in free-agent quarterback Kyle Trask for a workout on Wednesday.
Following the retirement of third-stringer Will Grier, Carolina has gone through the first handful of training camp practices with three quarterbacks. Last Wednesday, president of football operations and general manager Dan Morgan was asked if he was looking to add back a fourth for the summer.
"No plans right now to bring a fourth guy on," Morgan told reporters. "Obviously, wish Will and his family the best. In terms of his career, just playing as long as he did, and just wish him the best moving forward."
Trask, a second-round pick out of the University of Florida in 2021, has spent each of his five NFL seasons in the NFC South. The first four (2021 to 2024) came with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he crossed paths with Panthers head coach Dave Canales in 2023. The 28-year-old then signed with the Atlanta Falcons' practice squad midway through 2025.

According to journalist Matteo Moretto (h/t SPORT), Leon Goretzka has offered himself to Barcelona after becoming a free agent following the expiry of his contract with Bayern Munich.
The German midfielder's representatives have made contact with Barcelona's sporting department in recent hours, indicating that Goretzka would be interested in joining Hansi Flick's project following Frenkie de Jong's long-term knee injury.
The Dutchman is expected to be sidelined for around four months after sustaining the injury during the World Cup. This has prompted the manager to request the club to reinforce the midfield if possible.
This is not the first time Goretzka has been linked with Barcelona in recent months.
The 30-year-old midfielder worked under Flick at Bayern Munich between 2019 and 2021, making 64 appearances during the German coach's tenure.

Chelsea has been busy this summer. The Stamford Bridge club has broken its transfer record to sign Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa with Marco Palestra also joining from Atalanta and Geovany Quenda coming in from Sporting CP. Chelsea has clearly altered its strategy ahead of the 2026/27 season.
This is reflected by the Blues' interest in Jordan Henderson and Danny Welbeck, both of whom are reportedly close to joining the Stamford Bridge outfit. Henderson is 36 while Welbeck is 35. That Chelsea is even interested in such experienced players says a lot about how the strategy has changed over the summer.

IfJay Shetty was going to level up his podcast, he figured he needed to upgrade the studio in which he records it. So before his seven-year-old show, On Purpose, relaunched this month on Netflix, the 38-year-old self-help guru says he spent around $500,000 to renovate the ****** e with specific colors and custom artwork (such asincluding a piece of glass covered in bubble wrap) to evoke the kind of vulnerability and fragility he hopes to encourage from his guests.
Sitting inside his sprawling Hollywood Hills home, worth an estimated $8 million, Shetty's digs are a far cry from the Hindu monk principles of humble detachment he once practiced and has encouraged to display. But for a star in media's hottest category—who recently signed a new podcast deal with Spotify and Netflix that will pay him a combined $100 million over the next three years—the studio and residence are fitting.
"I mean, I'm not a monk anymore," Shetty tells Forbes. "Today I consider myself an entrepreneur and a leader in this ****** e, and that allows me to have the ability to use money as a resource to do good in the world and create impact in the way that we've chosen to do that."
For top podcasters like Shetty, the money has also never been better. The entry of video platforms such as Netflix, Hulu and Tubi into a still-frothy marketplace of audio distributors (including Spotify, SiriusXM and Amazon) have pushed paydays into territory once reserved for movie stars. Shetty earned an estimated $21 million over the past 12 months from his previous podcast distribution and ad sales agreement with iHeart Media (before paying taxes and fees to agents and managers) and he i's in line to make far more from his new deal.
He is pouring those earnings into an expanding business portfolio, investing in the Austin-based blood testing company Function Health and founding his own sparkling tea brand, Juni. He also has a production company, Perfect Strangers, which produces the podcast Friends Keep Secrets and has a handful of TV projects in development. The goal, Shetty says, is to build a "conscious empire" of content and products promoting physical and mental health.

In the winter of 2024, Roma decided to appoint Daniele De Rossi as manager after the dismissal of José Mourinho. And after an encouraging start from the former number 16, fans were growing hopeful that the man who had made the club famous as a player would have an equally impressive career on the bench.
The following season, despite his contract extension, the Ostia native only made a handful of appearances as manager, and was then sacked by the Friedkins.
From then on, a series of ups and downs began for the club, which first brought in Ivan Juric and then Claudio Ranieri, but the season still ended with the club securing a Europa League spot.
Fans, however, remained discontented at seeing a club legend treated so poorly. Even more disappointed than the fans was De Rossi himself, who gave an interview to Cronache di Spogliatoio.
In a brief excerpt, the former midfielder commented on his dismissal: "I was furious. I had my 'enemies' and I felt defeated in a battle I didn't have time to fight. But I never wanted to show that I was getting jealous. I only did it once in a press conference at Spal, and I regretted it. I've worked hard on these things."

The Washington Commanders begin training camp on Wednesday. But before the players hit the field, general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn met with the media to preview camp and provide some updates.
Peters began the media session with a pair of injury updates from training camp. Last week, the Commanders placed cornerback Trey Amos, edge rusher Dorance Armstrong and defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list to begin training camp.
Those moves weren't unexpected, considering all three players finished last season on injured reserve after suffering season-ending injuries.
You can add two more players to Washington's injury list to kick off camp: punter Tress Way and linebacker Kain Medrano. Fortunately, neither will be added to the PUP list.
"Tress Way and Kain Medrano are both dealing with injuries, so they won't be dressed up tomorrow," Peters said.

Weird things happen when the Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres get together, and tonight's game was one of many such occasions in the history of this rivalry. The first of two in San Diego had it all. Terrible defense, many different pitchers, chair interference, multiple ejections from the Padres' bench—including manager Craig Stammen—and finally a walk-off loss after more than three hours.
"We all kept going," manager Warren Schaeffer **** sed after the game. "Back and forth ballgame, really good big-league ballgame in terms of back-and-forth. Some big offensive moments. Two big at-bats for [Ezequiel Tovar] today. Big homer from [Mickey Moniak], Willi [Castro] — a couple of good walks from Willi, and Cole [Carrigg] just moving the line.
"Scoring 7 runs on the road, that's pretty good," he continued. "[We] scored against their bullpen a little bit, it's a really good bullpen. But then on the other side of the ball, we had four errors. Errors and walks, walks and errors. You're not going to win in the big leagues if you walk guys, especially late in the game and then you make errors in big moments."
Right-handed starter Michael Lorenzen was the first of many pitchers utilized by the Rockies in tonight's… let's call it "interesting" affair against the Padres. Lorenzen, despite a string of solid starts in recent memory, was looking to rebound after getting hammered hard by the Washington Nationals his last time out.
Instead, Lorenzen gave up a lot of contact in an inefficient start. He threw 93 pitches in just four innings while also giving up eight hits with a walk and only two strikeouts.

Chelsea are finalising a move for Brighton striker Danny Welbeck after he was given permission to have a medical at Stamford Bridge.
Welbeck, 35, is set to link up with his new club in Hong Kong next week for pre-season as he prepares to sign a two-year contract.
The move is part of new manager Xabi Alonso's recruitment drive to add experience to Chelsea's squad, which has been the youngest in the Premier League for the past two seasons.
Their focus on youth has been viewed as a factor in their inability to challenge consistently for major honours.
Towards the end of last season's disappointing campaign, when they finished 10th and won nothing, Chelsea co-owner Behdad Eghbali said their recruitment model needed a "tweak".

It's official; training camp is here. The Washington Commanders will unofficially kick off preparations for the 2026 season on Wednesday, the first day of training camp. Rookies reported to Ashburn last Friday, while the rest of the team reported on Tuesday.
Before players hit the practice field on Wednesday, general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn met with the media to preview camp and discuss other topics surrounding the team. Last week, the Commanders made some moves, placing cornerback Trey Amos, edge rusher Dorance Armstrong and defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list.
Peters was asked about Amos, who suffered a fractured fibula in Week 10 last season.
"Yeah, I think with Trey, he's doing really well," Peters said. "I think the first thing I'll say is he's been outstanding in his rehab and really, you know, taken all the things that the medical team has asked him to do and done really well. With him, just had a little soft tissue soreness in the offseason, so we wanted to just take it slow. So, he's actually doing really well right now. Just had a report on him earlier. He should be back soon as well. Just wanted to be overly cautious there, but he's doing great. He'll be back pretty soon."
