Gareth Bale: Wales in ‘great position’ for Euro 2020 last 16
Captain Gareth Bale said Wednesday’s win over Turkey in Baku puts Wales in a “great position” to reach the Euro 2020 last 16. Aaron Ramsey and Connor Roberts scored to send Wales top of Group A on four points before Italy host Switzerland later on. “The victory puts us in a great position,” Bale told the BBC. “If you’d have offered us four points at the start we would’ve bitten your hand off,” he added. A hostile crowd whistled every touch from Bale and his team-mate with the locals supporting the Crescent Stars due to historical links between Turkey and Azerbaijan. “It helped, playing in front of no fans it’s difficult to get the adrenaline going,” Bale said. “The fans were fantastic, I know most of them were Turkish but the Wales fans were incredible. “We want to thanks the fans at home ...
US Supreme Court bars New York from imposing attendance limit on houses of worship
The US Supreme Court has barred New York from imposing coronavirus restrictions on houses of worship in a ruling likely to be heralded by conservatives as a victory for religious freedoms. Services should not be treated differently from permitted secular gatherings, said the unsigned ruling, one of the first since the appointment of Justice Amy Coney Barrett tipped the court’s balance to the conservatives. Andrew Cuomo, governor of New York state, had ordered that only up to 10 people could gather at sites of worship in high-risk areas designated “red zones”. The court was responding to two applications — from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn, as well as two synagogues — claiming they were singled out under the restrictions designed to limit the contagion’s spread in hard-hit New Yor...
Report: Leeds United have tabled a new offer for defensive target
Leeds United have been linked with a move for the Brighton defender Haydon Roberts. According to Football Insider, the Premier League side have had a big turn down for the highly-rated defender but now they have decided to table a new offer for the England youth international worth around £800,000. It will be interesting to see if Leeds can finally agree on a fee with the Seagulls for the 18-year-old defender. Leeds tried to deal with Brighton for Ben White earlier in the summer but they were unsuccessful. Roberts is a highly talented defender who has a big future ahead of him. Signing him now would be a smart long term investment from Leeds United. A manager like Marcelo Bielsa could help the youngster fulfil his potential at Elland Road. Leeds have done well to develop young players at t...
Report claims Leeds have submitted a bid for talented young defender
Leeds United have been linked with quite a few defenders already this summer and the latest name linked with a move to Elland Road is that of Haydon Roberts from Brighton. According to Football Insider, the Premier League side are interested in signing the 18-year-old defender from Brighton and they have now tabled a bid for him as well. It will be interesting to see if they can agree on a fee with Brighton for the young defender in the coming weeks now. Leeds tried to sign Ben white from Brighton earlier in the summer but the Seagulls refused to sell the talented 22-year-old. There is no doubt that Leeds need to improve their defensive options this summer but 18-year-old Haydon Roberts is hardly going to improve them immediately. It seems like the Brighton defender could be a long term in...
