What exactly happened in England this afternoon? During the match between Portsmouth FC and Cardiff City, away defender Krystian Bielik and a fan got into an altercation.
With the home side leading 2-0, the young fan tried to stop Bielik from taking a quick throw-in. The Pole clearly did not take kindly to that. He grabbed the home fan by the neck before the boy's family members stepped in and calmed the situation down.
The crazy part: according to media reports, the family, including the young fan, was then thrown out of the stadium. Bielik, meanwhile, did not even receive a card for his action. However, the Pole had already been booked earlier.

It's a full weekend of USMNT soccer including several possibilities for head-to-head matchups. We have players still looking to make their season debut as well as some who are needing to reestablish themselves after staying put despite indications that they would, or should, be moving elsewhere. There is quite a bit on, so here we go:
Olympique Lyon v Auxerre — 1:00p ET: Tanner Tessmann did not appear last weekend for Lyon as the team settled for a 1-1 draw with Le Havre. Tessmann had played midweek for the team in their Champions League qualification match so perhaps it was just rotation as players look to gain their mid-season form.
PSG v Monaco — 3:05p on beIN Sports: After a wild transfer saga back and forth Folarin Balogun remains at Monaco, at least until January. However, he was not included in Friday's matchday squad and apparently was left off the team's Conference League roster as well so it looks as though he has work to do to gain back a position at the club.
NYCFC v Nashville SC — 7:30p on Apple TV: Matt Freese and NYCFC look to snap a five match winless streak on Friday night but they'll have to do it against league leading Nashville who have won four straight and have a nine point lead in the Supporters Shield standings.
Newcastle v Bournemouth — 7:30a on USA Network/Peacock: For the second straight week Tyler Adams came off the bench and Bournemouth conceded a late goal to drop points as Everton scored in stoppage time to draw level. Bournemouth will travel to Newcastle this weekend in search of their first win of the season as they face a Newcastle side coming off a 2-0 win over Tottenham.

City duo Nico O'Reilly and Phil Foden have both been nominated for the Premier League's Adobe Express Moment of the Match award for August.
Men's Team
O'Reilly's moment came during last Friday's superb 4-1 win at Crystal Palace.
His contribution saw the Academy graduate beat two defenders at once by using his strength holding off his closest marker before backheeling the ball through their legs and turning upfield.
Foden's moment meanwhile came during a flowing move in City's 2-1 victory at home to Bournemouth on the opening day of the Premier League season.

Stenhousemuir manager Marvin Bartley has not spoken to Livingston sporting director David Martindale since resigning from the West Lothian club at the end of last season.
The two sides face each other for the first time in the Scottish Championship on Friday evening in front of the BBC Scotland cameras.
Back in May, Bartley and ***** istant Neil Hastings said they "had no option but to resign" after being asked to reapply for their positions with Livi.
The former Hibernian, Livingston and Bournemouth midfielder took charge at Almondvale in January, stepping up from a backroom role once Martindale moved into a new position.
"No, I've not seen or spoken to Davie since leaving the football club," said Bartley.

Bournemouth boss Marco Rose will have to juggle his playing resources carefully when the Cherries embark upon their first season in Europe, starting at Real Sociedad on 17 September.
Uefa's deadline for clubs to submit squads for the league phase of the Europa League was midnight on Wednesday, with Europe's governing body revealing each club's squads on Thursday evening.
Because of the strict rules governing "club-trained" and "association-trained" players, the Cherries have only been able to register 21 first-team players in "List A" rather than 25.
And that has meant that several senior squad members - Julian Araujo, Ben Gannon-Doak, Fraser Forster, Juanlu Sanchez, Max Aarons, Daniel Jebbison and Veljko Milosavljevic - must sit out in Europe for now.
Eli Junior Kroupi and Amine Adli, currently sidelined with injury, are included so can feature in the league phase when fit.

What had initially promised to be a busy final couple of days for Liverpool during the summer transfer window ultimately fizzled out into nothing. The Reds managed to confirm a deal for Bradley Barcola after weeks of negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain.
That deal always felt like it was a matter of when and not if though.
The expectation was that there would be more business done. Andoni Iraola confirmed as much in the build-up to the season opener against Newcastle United.
"We will definitely sign some players. Some deals you have to wait until the end. But the end is the important picture, the one we will have on September 1. Because it is true that we are still quite thin."
The reinforcements, however, did not arrive and the former Bournemouth boss now has to get the best out of an incomplete and unbalanced squad. It is an unenviable situation to be in. But it is one Iraola is going to have to manage, at least until January anyway.

While most fans expected Manchester United to go all out to sign a left-back on deadline day, INEOS had other ideas.
Despite completing a midfield revamp by signing Andrey Santos, Youri Tielemans, and Carlos Baleba, the co-owners wanted to add one more name.
Leicester City's Louis Page had caught the Red Devils' eye, and United tried their hardest to complete a sensational late move for the 18-year-old.
However, a move never materialised as the Foxes named him in their starting lineup for the game against Plymouth Argyle, while their financial demands also proved to be a significant obstacle.

Plymouth Argyle defender Jack MacKenzie has been ruled out for a further two weeks through injury.
The 26-year-old joined from Aberdeen in May 2025, and has only managed to play 12 times in all competitions due to tendonitis in his knee, and shin splints.
Plymouth head coach Tom Cleverley described the Scottish Cup winner as an "incredibly hard worker" but that he had been set back by an abductor injury.
"There will be an element of guilt from the player and all the stuff which goes through your mind when you've had bad injuries for a long period," Cleverley said.
"We've rallied around him at the minute because he's had small set-back, and he was flying in training.

The Tennessee ****** ans revoked Jared Stillman's credential. Depending on who you ask, this is either a franchise standing up to a loudmouth who dared them to do it, or an organization delivering a blueprint to other franchises on how to silence local critics.
Teams that travel this path usually end up with more negative coverage. You can't deliver a 6 and 28 record over two seasons, change your front office and coaching staff, and then complain about unfavorable attention. Winning changes the local conversation.
I went through this in St. Louis with the Rams and in the Bay Area with the Raiders. Kevin Demoff, Amy Trask and Marc Badain were all fantastic. All knew their results shaped the local coverage. Win games and people are happy. Lose games and fire people, and criticisms follow. It's that simple.
Stillman is a longtime Nashville radio host. He broadcasts now on YouTube, and recently went viral after a testy exchange with quarterback Cam Ward. On his show the next day, he said the ****** ans wouldn't be foolish enough to pull his credential over it. He felt the backlash would be brutal and make them look like the softest organization in the NFL.
A day later, they did it anyway.

The San Francisco Giants notched a feel-good 5-4 win in extra-innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday night at PNC Park.
The win ought to put a better taste in the team's mouth after Tuesday's loss in which they erased a five-run deficit in the eighth, but were walked off in the bottom of the ninth when Rafael Devers couldn't snag a tricky throw across the diamond from Osleivis Basabe.
Here are takeaways from the Giants' win:
Bryce Eldridge fastballs:
With his grandmother watching him play at the big league level for the first time - several days after his grandfather passed away - Eldridge delivered the go-ahead run with an RBI double smacked the other way in the 10th inning.

With no Jayden Warner, Wyatt Jacobson or William Laman in the mix — those local cross country stars all graduated last year — the community will soon get familiar with new names, new local legends. New eras started for local cross country teams on Friday, Aug. 28. The Knappa boys team made an opening statement, while Astoria's strong freshman class made an immediate impact. Here's the roundup for local cross country teams.
Knappa boys flex their muscles
No Wyatt Jacobson? No problem for the Knappa boys cross country team.
The Loggers traveled to Monmouth, Oregon to take part in a star-studded meet at Western Oregon on Friday, Aug. 28. Taking on mostly teams from 4A-6A, the Loggers made an impression. The defending 2A State Champions finished third out of 30 teams in attendance, only finishing behind 6A McMinnville and 5A Corvallis. Knappa scored a total of 108, second place Corvallis scored 103 and in first place, McMinnville had 95.
Returning all but three runners from last year's squad, the Loggers are set up for another three-way ***** le fight with Union and Bandon. Knappa junior Rowdy Justus will also be amongst the runners competing for an individual state ***** le.

North West is once again at the center of an online debate over her appearance.
The teenage daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West sparked backlash among TikTok users on Tuesday, September 1, after posting a video of herself dancing to Rihanna's 2006 hit "SOS."
The 14-second clip showed North, 13, dressed in a black leather jacket and skirt with long, bright blue hair falling to her knees. She also wore a full face of makeup and put her hands on her hips as she mouthed the lyrics.
The video ended with North leaning in for a close-up and flashing a black grill over her teeth.
"Thats just not normal," one TikTok user commented, prompting dozens of others to chime in.

Spencer Jones was, is, and will always be an enigma. He's an incredibly divisive player, one who dazzles with his pure athleticism at his hulking size, with true light-tower power, all with an Achilles heel of struggling mightily to make contact. He's a true four-tool player and will test the absolute limits of just how good a player with those tools can be, with arguably the most important tool completely missing from his toolshed.
Jones has had his highs and lows this season, but the reality is that he's steadily improved over the course of the season, particularly after each promotion. He's getting by with his clear weaknesses, while not looking overmatched against velocity or left-handed pitching, two things that always were his bugaboos in the minors. Tonight in Anaheim, as September 1st bled into September 2nd, he was the catalyst in a 7-3 Yankees win that washed the bad taste of Monday night out of everyone's mouths.
The Yankees were abhorrent in the first inning in August. As a team, they slashed .138/.214/.202 with just two total runs across 27 games, both on August 26th against Houston. Well, on the first day of September, they put up three in the first inning against Grayson Rodriguez on a pair of home runs by Jones and Jazz Chisholm Jr. The former hit his second ****** anic shot to right-center field in as many nights, while the latter snuck an excuse-me liner inside the left-field foul pole for one of the more fascinating home runs you'll ever see.
View Link
Gerrit Cole took the ****** p and looked like he might give some runs back after a leadoff double by Zach Neto, but he worked around it with strikeouts of Mike Trout and Moises Ballesteros to strand him. After Rodriguez settled down for the Angels, Cole worked around a two-out walk by Josh Lowe to put up another zero in the second.

LAS VEGAS – Dana White is keeping his mouth shut and letting "Big Mouth" do the talking.
One week to the day after White cryptically dropped financial numbers for Dana White's Contender Series' all-time pay leader among fighters who never contended for a UFC ****** le, the UFC CEO was asked if he could confirm Holland that is indeed the man he previously referenced.
"I never said it was Kevin Holland that was the $11 million man, but Kevin Holland has done pretty well," White told reporters including MMA Junkie at a post-fight news conference at Meta APEX. "I love Kevin."
Smiling through much of his answer, White detailed his long-standing professional relationship with Holland.
"You know the whole history with me and Kevin," White said. "I didn't pick him. I said he had a big mouth and he should've focused on whatever. We were in matchmaking one day. I don't remember who fell out. It was Thiago (Santos' opponent). I said, 'Call Big Mouth and see if Big Mouth will take the fight.' We called him, he took the fight, and here we are with Kevin Holland."

Swindon Town have signed forward Antwoine Hackford from AFC Wimbledon on a two-year deal, brought in Stevenage's Dan Butler on loan, and handed striker Aaron Drinan a new contract.
Hackford, 22, arrives at the Robins for an undisclosed fee after scoring six goals in his only full season at Plough Lane, and becomes manager Ian Holloway's 10th signing of the summer transfer window.
He started his career at Sheffield United, enjoying loan spells at Alfreton Town, Burton Albion and Port Vale, before his permanent switch to AFC Wimbledon last summer.
Hackford helped Vale gain promotion to League One during his loan spell at the club and has now been reunited with former team-mates Mitch Clark and Connor Ripley at the County Ground.
Meanwhile, 32-year-old former Portsmouth, Peterborough United, Newport and Torquay defender Butler joins the Robins on a season-long loan.

Derby County have re-signed Brighton defender Eiran Cashin and brought in Union Saint-Gilloise forward Mohammed Fuseini on loan deals.
Cashin, 24, started his career at Pride Park, helping the club win promotion back to the Championship in 2024.
He made 144 appearances for the club before departing for Brighton in January 2025 but has featured just twice for Fabian Hurzeler's side and spent last season on loan at Birmingham City and Blackburn Rovers.
Cashin's arrival was confirmed before Derby's win at Portsmouth, while the addition of 24-year-old Fuseini on a season-long loan was sealed soon after the club's first win of the Championship season.
The Ghana international moves to the English game after two years in Belgium with Union Saint-Gilloise, a club he joined in 2024 from Austrian side Sturm Gratz.

AFC Wimbledon have signed goalkeeper Joe Bursik from Championship side Portsmouth, and defender Freddie Simmonds from Premier League side Brighton, both on loan for the rest of the season.
Bursik, 26, returns to Plough Lane, where he joined the academy as an eight-year-old before leaving for Stoke City aged 16.
He kept seven clean sheets in 16 Championship games for the Potters in 2020-21 before going on loan to Telford, Accrington, Doncaster and Peterborough.
Bursik signed for Pompey in September 2025, making 10 league appearances and starting against ***** nal in their 4-1 FA Cup third-round defeat at Fratton Park.
He told the Dons website: "It's great to be back. It's a bit of a full circle moment. Good feeling, good memories."

Lori Loughlin is back on Instagram, and she's got some hands to hold onto with her former costars by her side.
The "Full House" alum, 62, made her long-awaited return to the social media platform on Monday, Aug. 31, for the first time since serving time in prison in connection with the 2019 college admissions bribery scandal.
Loughlin returned via a joint Instagram post with five of her former "Full House" costars: Dave Coulier, Andrea Barber, Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin and John Stamos.
The video began with the stars, each recording from separate locations, looking into the camera one after another and saying, "Wake up, San Francisco!" On "Full House," Loughlin's character, Rebecca Donaldson, cohosts a morning show by that name with Bob Saget's Danny Tanner.
The video, which also features "Full House" star Scott Weinger and archival footage of Saget's Danny Tanner, then cuts to Loughlin mouthing along to an old audio clip of herself on the series, saying, "Hi, I'm Rebecca Donaldson, and I'm welcoming myself back to the show. Welcome back, Becky! Why, thank you, Becky."

Alex Scott is poised to become next summer's most coveted ****** et — after AFC Bournemouth blocked his exit during this transfer window.
Chelsea made a last-ditch attempt to secure the Bournemouth midfielder, having already seen a £64 million ($86.7 million) offer rejected earlier in the summer.
The Blues identified the 23-year-old Scott as their top priority to fill the void left by Enzo Fernandez, but Bournemouth stood firm in their resolve not to part with any of their prized players, as per The Mirror.
'I was edgy about Welcome to Wrexham, but Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney proved me wrong'

Bristol City will travel to Deepdale this evening to take on Preston, as they look to pick up back-to-back wins in the Championship.
The Robins got their first three points on the board on Saturday, beating Portsmouth 2-1 in front of a packed Ashton Gate. Lorent Tolaj opened the scoring by netting his first Championship goal, before Jason Knight headed home a second on the hour mark. A late penalty for Pompey made for a nervy final few minutes in the South West, but Michael Skubala's side ultimately got over the line.
Preston, meanwhile, have lost their opening three matches to Bolton, Wolves and most recently Charlton Athletic, giving cause for concern amongst fans ahead of taking on a side that will be aiming for a play-off spot come May, whilst the Lilywhites are more worried about securing their spot in this division for next season.
Preston have underperformed their xG so far this season, creating enough chances to have scored three goals, but only netting two so far. They have also only registered an average of two shots on target per match, the lowest in the league. By contrast, the Robins have netted four goals in their last two outings, against Birmingham City and Portsmouth, with both Tolaj and Dom Ballard opening their accounts in the process.
Bristol City have picked up four points from their last two trips to Deepdale; it arguably should be six, but Anis Mehmeti failed to make his chances count last year, meaning the game finished 0-0. Max Bird, Yu Hirakawa and Nahki Wells were on the scoresheet the year before, as Liam Manning's side picked up a 3-1 win. Preston won the last meeting between these sides 2-0, back in January, when Lewis Dobbin and Alfie Devine found the net.

The Premier League weekend was not short of talking points and discussion.
Newcastle's new manager has made an immediate impact despite difficulties off the pitch, whileArsenal have already shown that the champions will take some stopping. Here are five of the biggest questions and themes to emerge from weekend's Premier League action.
Rayan Cherki's stock took a slight hit during the summer. There were reports of tension and frustration within the France squad during the 2026 FIFA World Cup due to his limited playing time, while an Amazon documentary revealed how Manchester City's team had gambled on the Frenchman despite negative feedback on his mentality.
City took that gamble and have been repaid ever since. Cherki was superb last season, recording 12 **** ists in the Premier League, and has started the new season on fire. He **** isted twice in the opening win over Bournemouth, and scored twice himself as Crystal Palace were put to the sword on Friday night.
The 23-year-old is a special talent and capable of unlocking any game. Maresca must coax that from him on a regular basis and give him the platform to become Kevin De Bruyne's heir.

As we head into the final day of the transfer window, the Enzo Fernández situation remains unresolved. It's only been going on for the whole summer, after all (if not longer), so there's been hardly any time to get it done, right?
Our (former?) Vice-captain has been training with the team, but he's been held out of our first three games, either at his own request or by the coach's decision or by the sporting directors', or by a combination of all. Chelsea tried to set a deadline before the start of the season for Manchester City (or any other team) to bid, but all that's done is make it even more frustrating that we're still in limbo. That deadline was then retconned to be a deadline for "bids of (at least) £120m", which just means that we now have to talk about a fee as well.
But, at long last, we are actually talking, club-to-club through official channels, as per all the usual talking heads at the transfer rumor mill content farm, like Fabrizio Romano and David Ornstein, and all the rest.
Whether these talks will lead to anything here on the final day is anyone's guess. Romano is just playing up the drama as usual, but Ornstein, speaking on BBC Sport, claims that Chelsea would only really consider doing business if we could somehow come out ahead not just in the books but on the pitch as well. And that would mean getting someone in to replace Enzo in some way, shape, or form. But links with Lamine Camara of AS Monaco, Manu Koné of AS Roma, and Alex Scott of AFC Bournemouth have all led to the same narrative dead end, and now there's hardly any time left.
Forcing players to stay is never a good idea, but sometimes it's not the worst thing.

So I am hanging out on Yahoo Finance AlphaSpace on Wednesday morning, a few minutes after calling out ******* 's Sporting Goods (DKS) on Instagram for its horrific earnings day this week.
I randomly check the stock price of fellow big box retailer Target (TGT), only to find it had an ugly session the day before. It caught my attention because the broader market had hung in there, and I didn't see any ******* yst downgrades on Target.
I then came across something on Target with the word "backlash" in it.
"What the ******* did this company do now?" I muttered to myself.
It wasn't hard to find out. Target apologized this week for selling a kids' circus clown Halloween costume that critics said evoked racist minstrel imagery. The orange-and-black costume, which included gloves, a top hat, and a mask resembling a smiling mouth with large teeth, was removed from the website, but not before consumers took Target to task.

Former Celtic midfielder Scott Allan has praised the way Martin O'Neill's side responded to their ignominious Champions League exit by beating Falkirk in the Scottish Premiership.
And Allan believes Celtic have unearthed a superstar in forward Camilo Duran, who got both goals in the 2-1 win over the Bairns.
Austrian champions LASK fought back from four goals down on aggregate as Celtic collapsed on Tuesday - but the chastened Premiership champions saw off Falkirk as they returned to the domestic agenda.
"It really was the manner in how they gave up a 4-0 lead to LASK - genuine disbelief at how that second half panned out for Celtic," Allan said on the Scottish Football podcast.
"But ultimately you have to get your chest out. Fans will still have a sour taste in their mouth about how the game went against LASK and all you can do is try and improve."

Everton are actively exploring a deal to bring Jack Grealish back to Merseyside, with discussions under way with Manchester City over another loan move, according to The Athletic. It is a development that fits into a wider and increasingly busy summer for David Moyes, as the club continue shaping their squad for the new campaign at Hill ****** inson Stadium.
Grealish spent last season on loan at Everton and, despite a campaign disrupted by the foot injury he suffered in January, there has remained an appetite inside the club to revisit the arrangement. The 30-year-old managed 22 appearances in all competitions, contributing two goals and six ****** ists before the stress fracture halted his momentum. That output only tells part of the story, with Everton valuing his ability to carry the ball, draw pressure and bring control in advanced areas.
The timing is notable. Everton's wide options are in flux, and several moving parts around the market appear to be influencing this conversation. Earlier in the window, City held interest in Iliman Ndiaye, while Everton were keen on a structure that could have aided Grealish's return. Since then, the picture has shifted, with Tottenham now moving towards Ndiaye and City focusing attention elsewhere in the attacking market.
That leaves Everton pressing on with a route that may still be achievable if the financial terms are workable. Grealish has featured only briefly since returning to City, appearing from the bench in the Community Shield defeat to ****** nal and the Premier League win over Bournemouth, before then being left out of the squad entirely for the victory at Crystal Palace. Read in context, that tends to suggest his place in Pep Guardiola's plans remains uncertain.
There is broader context here too. City have already sanctioned major changes in their squad, and movement in attacking positions has been substantial. Everton, meanwhile, are not standing still. A deal in principle has been reached for Richarlison to return, while the club have also looked into Fulham right-back Kenny Tete as they continue to ****** s solutions in defence.

If you went to Kroger Field the last couple of years, you probably left with a sour taste in your mouth. Kentucky was just 1-8 over the last 2 seasons against Power 5 schools at home. But it wasn't just the on-field performance that left a lot to be desired.
Fans saw places like Bryant-Denny and Williams-Brice come alive with lights, music, and great sound. The pregame atmosphere was electric. For Kentucky, everything had seemed a little stale. There was Grove Street but not much else. And a lot of fans complained about the speaker system that felt like it was only being played on one end of the stadium. And the stadium itself needed a good, deep cleaning after a couple of years of grime had built up on the outside.
Will Stein heard those comments.
The new head coach said he wanted new traditions; he talked about how he would love to extend the Wildcat walk and have different songs and an electric atmosphere. He and new AD J Batt even delivered pizzas to fans who wanted to set up their tailgating spots.
They power-washed the stadium and cleaned up the inside and out. It was announced that they have now put in field-level speakers to help boost the sound, and they will have a new game-day host to help keep the atmosphere rocking all night long.
