The 2025 Europa League final may not sound particularly exciting on the surface, but the drastic difference between success and failure on Wednesday night renders the all-English duel unmissable.Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United meet in Bilbao aiming to mask horrific domestic campaigns. While we’ve seen mid-table sides prevail in this competition as of late, such as Eintracht Frankfurt (11th in the Bundesliga) in 2021–22 and Sevilla (12th in La Liga) in 2022–23, the upcoming final will either serve as salvation or one last humiliation for the participants. These are the Premier League’s two worst-performing non-relegated teams. The scale of their underperformance has made history, and the extent of their domestic misery will be brought to light should they succumb in Bilbao. In the a...

Steph Curry is ending a longtime partnership. The Warriors superstar and sportswear company Under Armour are ending their partnership after nearly 12 years, the brand announced in a press release on Thursday. In the agreement, both Curry and his brand, "Curry Brand," will become completely independent of Under Armour, with Curry's latest shoe, the Curry 13, still releasing in Feb. 2026 as planned, with additional colorways and apparel collections available through October 2026. "It's been an incredible privilege to work with Stephen, who as President of Curry Brand has been much more than an ambassador – he's become a thoughtful and strategic business leader," Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank wrote.

UEFA has been accused of “disproportionately excluding” disabled fans from Wednesday’s Europa League final between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.Level Playing Field, a campaigning group for the rights of disabled football fans, has highlighted that the number of wheelchair and easy access seating spaces made available for the game at the San Mames Stadium in Bilbao, falls well below UEFA’s own guidelines.Each club has been given just 26 wheelchair and 15 easy access (defined as seats which provide extra room for those with limited mobility) spaces for the final, when they should have been provided with around double that.San Mames, home of Athletic Club since it opened in 2013, has a capacity of 53,000, which includes 208 wheelchair spaces and 102 easy access seats. UEFA’s guidel...

Two of England’s worst-performing soccer teams have somehow found themselves in a high-stakes European tournament final. Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, who’ve served up shambolic displays in the English Premier League all year, will square off in the Europa League final Wednesday in Bilbao, Spain. The winner clinches automatic qualification for the prestigious European Champions League and the multimillion-dollar payout that comes with it. It’s difficult to overstate how abysmal these iconic soccer teams have been in the English Premier League this season. Manchester United is 16th in the table, barely above the relegation zone. Its much-maligned Cameroonian goalkeeper, Andre Onana, has been prone to calamitous mistakes. And its forward line, spearheaded by Danish striker Rasmus ...

This is as good of news as the Knicks could have hoped for after Jalen Brunson hobbled off the court with 1:54 left against Orlando on Wednesday and went straight to the locker room. Brunson has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 right ankle sprain, a story broken by Shams Charania of ESPN and Ian Begley of SNY.tv and since confirmed by multiple other sources. He is out Friday night when the Knicks host the Heat in an NBA Cup game, after which he will be day-to-day.A Grade 1 sprain is the least severe level of sprain, and recovery can take anywhere from less than a week up to almost three weeks. This is the same ankle Brunson sprained at the end of last season.Brunson was still in the game with the Knicks down 16 and less than two minutes to go in the game when the injury took place, something ...

IMPRESSIVE ENGLAND WIN SEVENTH STRAIGHT GAMEEngland’s extraordinary record in qualifying for the 2026 World Cup continued as they made it seven wins from seven with a 2-0 victory over Serbia at Wembley thanks to goals from Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze, denying the visitors a chance to finish runners-up in the group in the process.England manager Thomas Tuchel opted to continue with Morgan Rogers at No. 10 from the start, despite Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden returning to the squad, and the Aston Villa midfielder was impressive again as The Three Lions largely controlled the first half at a subdued Wembley Stadium.It was Bukayo Saka who gave England the lead on 29 minutes, cushioning in an excellent volleyed shot from the right side of the box after an effort by debutant Nico O’Reilly had ...
