Balogun's World Cup Ends Amid Red Card Controversy
Folarin Balogun, who scored three goals for the United States, became embroiled in controversy when FIFA suspended his red card ban without explanation after President Trump reportedly intervened. The Royal Belgian Football Association threatened legal action, but Balogun played in the USA's 4-1 elimination loss to Belgium.
The U.S. co-hosts are now out of the tournament, while Belgium advances to play Spain for a semifinal spot.
Shedeur Sanders: I'm not content just being on a team, I'm trying to be one of the greatest
Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders is battling with Deshaun Watson to be the Week One starter, but he says he plans to win a lot more than a training camp competition in his career. djcc.club
Sanders said on his YouTube channel that his goal is to be among the greatest quarterbacks in football.
"I’m not content just being on no team," Sanders said. "I’m trying to be one of the greatest. You've got to be thankful, but know there’s still more. There's still more.”
Sanders reflected on his rookie year by talking about a Week 17 win over the Steelers in which he felt like, after being a bench warmer for the early part of the season, he accomplished something by the way he kept getting back up.
"We were playing the Steelers. Their linebackers were hitting that game. I'm on the pine the whole year," Sanders said. "You get out there you're like, 'This is something. I could do something like this.'"
Sanders took some criticism in that game for getting up and flexing after a third down run that failed to pick up the first down.
"To me that's an accomplishment," he said. "This dude tried to knock my head off . . . That's the whole thing I'm celebrating. I know it's fourth down, but I just evaded this tackle. I just got away."
Sanders and the Browns didn't have a lot to celebrate last year, but he believes he'll have plenty to celebrate over the course of his career.
Newcastle close in on signing Ajax generational talent Sean Steur for £23m
Howe rebuilding side after Tonali and Gordon exits
Widely hyped as Amsterdam club’s next De Jong
Newcastle are close to completing the signing of Sean Steur from Ajax for about £23m. The two-footed central midfielder is only 18 but has been widely hyped as the Amsterdam club’s brightest emerging midfield talent since Frenkie de Jong.
While De Jong left for Barcelona in 2019, Steur, who can operate as a No 6 or a No 8, seems almost certainly Tyneside bound. At St James’ Park he is likely to start next season competing with Lewis Miley to fill Sandro Tonali’s old central midfield role and will be given time to adjust to the Premier League’s physicality.
