TOPAnonymous Coach Addresses Eagles QB Jalen Hurts
Jalen Hurts, the 26-year-old quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, has secured his first Super Bowl victory and Super Bowl MVP award after leading the team to a win against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. This continues his established pattern of winning throughout his college and professional career. Despite his success, Hurts remains a polarizing figure in NFL quarterback rankings. While some analysts place him as high as No. 1 or 2, most position him around No. 5—behind Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, and Lamar Jackson. Notably, ESPN's rankings placed him significantly lower at No. 9. An AFC defensive coordinator, quoted by Sports Illustrated's Matt Verderame, countered criticism by praising Hurts: "Jalen is an elite competitor and a big-time leader. Two necessary and vital attributes in any great quarterback." This endorsement highlights his perceived intangible strengths beyond statistical rankings. The Eagles, described as "loaded" with talent, are considered strong contenders to repeat as champions in the upcoming season. The article emphasizes that regardless of subjective rankings, Philadelphia's championship aspirations hinge fundamentally on Hurts' performance and leadership.

Sources: Chiefs, guard Smith reach historic deal
The Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to a four-year, $94 million contract extension with right guard Trey Smith, making him the highest-paid interior offensive lineman in NFL history. The deal includes $70 million guaranteed, also a record for an NFL guard. Smith was the final player remaining on the franchise tag this year. The Chiefs applied the tag on February 28th to prevent him from becoming a free agent, committing to a one-year, $23.4 million deal while continuing negotiations. Both parties reached the long-term agreement before Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline for franchised players to sign such contracts. With this deal, no players will play the 2024 season under the franchise tag for the first time since 2015. Retaining Smith completes the Chiefs' major offseason objective of revamping their offensive line to better protect quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who publicly celebrated the extension. Smith, a first-time Pro-Bowler last season, will be a core part of the projected starting offensive line. The Chiefs also used their first-round draft pick on left tackle Josh Simmons to address this key need. The deal comes after the NFL set the salary cap higher than anticipated at $279.2 million. To create cap space, the Chiefs recently traded All-Pro left guard Joe Thuney to the Chicago Bears, freeing up $16 million. Smith's contract means the Chiefs are now the only team paying multiple interior offensive linemen at least $50 million guaranteed. Smith, 26, joined the Chiefs as a sixth-round pick in 2021 despite concerns about his medical history involving blood clots. He has proven exceptionally dependable, starting 80 of 81 possible games, including the Chiefs' past four postseason runs, and is known for his athleticism and tenacity.

Your 1-stop shop for Euros, WAFCON and Copa America Femenina updates
The Athletic's Full Time newsletter provides a recap of recent women's soccer tournaments. Key events include the conclusion of group stages for the UEFA Women's Euros and the Women's Africa Cup of Nations, which have now determined their quarterfinal matchups. Additionally, the Copa América Femenina has commenced, highlighted by Uruguayan player Belén Aquino scoring the tournament's first goal for her team. Brazilian legend Marta featured in a recent match but was substituted in the 74th minute for 20-year-old Dudinha, signaling a potential generational shift. Marta acknowledged she is weighing her career continuation against a "very strong desire to become a mother," which may prevent her participation in the 2027 World Cup in Brazil when she would be 41. While calling the decision premature, she emphasized her current focus on leading Brazil to another Copa América title. The newsletter also notes that Delphine Cascarino's standout performance for France was unsurprising to viewers familiar with her recent form in the NWSL, particularly with the San Diego Wave.

François Modesto is Juventus' new Technical Director
Juventus announced the appointment of François Modesto as the club's new Technical Director, effective Tuesday, July 15, 2025. Modesto will report directly to General Manager Damien Comolli. Born in Bastia and turning 47 in August 2025, Modesto transitioned to management after a nearly 20-year playing career (1997-2016). He has held senior roles in Greece, England, and Italy, gaining significant experience in Italian football both on and off the pitch. His management career began in 2016 as Sporting Director and Head of Scouting at Olympiacos, where he won three league titles and a national cup. He then served as Director of Football at Nottingham Forest from 2019, achieving promotion to the Premier League after 23 years. Most recently, he was Technical Director at Monza in Serie A from summer 2022 until the end of 2024. Juventus highlighted his experience, vision, and versatility as fundamental added value for the club. General Manager Damien Comolli welcomed Modesto, stating his role will be central in coordinating the Technical Area (Match Analysis, Medical Department, Performance and Psychology) and Igor Tudor's staff to strengthen the club's sporting identity. Comolli emphasized that Modesto's diverse experience in competitive environments and knowledge of Italian football were key reasons for his appointment, believing it will contribute significantly to Juventus' growth. François Modesto expressed that joining Juventus is both an honour and a great responsibility, citing the club's extraordinary history and winning culture. He stated his eagerness to work closely with Comolli, Coach Igor Tudor, and the entire staff to build an ambitious, modern, and successful project, dedicating his experience and commitment to contributing to Juventus' success in Italy and Europe.

Reports: Alberto Costa might not be leaving Juventus after all
Juventus fullback Alberto Costa appeared close to a €20 million transfer to Sporting CP just days ago, which would have ended his six-month spell in Turin after limited appearances. However, the move now seems uncertain as Juventus—particularly manager Igor Tudor—is reconsidering selling the 21-year-old during the summer transfer window. Contrary to initial €20 million reports, Sporting's current bid is valued between €13-15 million including add-ons, according to Fabrizio Romano and O Jogo. Juventus demands a €15 million fixed fee plus add-ons and a 10% sell-on clause. Costa was previously a Sporting target in January before joining Juventus for €13.4 million. The situation remains fluid despite recent expectations of a quick sale. Tudor's potential insistence on retaining Costa complicates matters, especially as Costa is Juventus' only natural right wingback option with Timothy Weah reportedly available. Costa showed promise in his 14 appearances last season, performing well despite struggles against elite clubs like Manchester City and Real Madrid. Juventus' new management would require a significantly improved offer to approve a sale. While Sporting aims to act quickly amid competition from other clubs, Costa's future—whether staying in Turin or returning to Portugal—remains undecided at this stage.

Tottenham already know their six possible Champions League Pot One opponents
Tottenham Hotspur's return to the Champions League after a two-year absence will see them face at least two major European teams in the new league phase format. They are one of six English clubs in the competition, alongside Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Newcastle United. The league phase draw, scheduled for August 18th, uses UEFA coefficients to determine pots. Pot 1 contains the eight highest-ranked teams plus the previous season's winner. UEFA rules prevent teams from the same country playing each other in the league phase and restrict facing more than two opponents from the same association. Since Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea occupy Pot 1, Tottenham (as an English club) cannot face them. Therefore, Spurs are guaranteed to play two teams from the following Pot 1 clubs: Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Borussia Dortmund, and Barcelona. This setup means Tottenham could potentially face PSG twice soon, including in the upcoming UEFA Super Cup. Tottenham is currently slated for Pot 3 but could move up to Pot 2 if either Club Brugge or Benfica fail to qualify. Pot 2 currently includes Arsenal, Bayer Leverkusen, Atletico Madrid, Atalanta, Villarreal, Juventus, and Eintracht Frankfurt, with Benfica, Club Brugge, Rangers, and Shakhtar Donetsk as potential additions. This pot structure creates the possibility of a North London derby between Tottenham and Arsenal occurring in the Champions League knockout stages.

ESPN analysts debate whether Trevor Lawrence is facing make or break 2025 season
Trevor Lawrence entered the NFL with exceptional hype but has not yet developed into the elite quarterback many anticipated with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The team remains committed to him, undergoing significant changes including hiring offensive coordinator Liam Coen to elevate Lawrence's performance. ESPN analysts debated his future on "Get Up," questioning whether he can surpass his current average level. Dan Orlovsky highlighted Lawrence’s inconsistent QBR over three seasons and noted new factors like Coen’s arrival, standout rookie Brian Thomas Jr., and addition Travis Hunter. He emphasized Lawrence faces the most pressure of any AFC quarterback to improve consistency, leadership, and impact. Jeremy Fowler stated Lawrence is "not a bust" but isn’t progressing, citing organizational belief mixed with urgency due to Lawrence working under his third head coach in four to five years. Fowler acknowledged Jacksonville’s role in his struggles but stressed Lawrence must improve accuracy and week-to-week reliability. Damien Woody delivered a blunt assessment, calling 2025 a "now or never" season. He argued Lawrence’s high salary demands elite production, adding Coen was hired specifically to fix him. Woody concluded failure to deliver would make Lawrence a "bust."

Report: Serie A giants make move for rising star amid transfer fee standoff
Roma have moved closer to signing Brighton striker Evan Ferguson after the 19-year-old Republic of Ireland international personally approved a transfer to the Serie A club. Despite interest from multiple top European teams, Ferguson has prioritized joining Roma, impressed by their sporting vision under manager Daniele De Rossi and viewing it as an ideal developmental step. Negotiations between Roma and Brighton are actively underway, though the deal's structure remains unresolved. Brighton maintains a firm €45 million valuation reflecting Ferguson's potential and Premier League pedigree, while Roma seeks to lower the cost through potential add-ons, revised payment terms, or a loan-with-buy-option arrangement. Ferguson's clear preference for Roma could facilitate a compromise. Ferguson, renowned for his intelligent movement, physicality, and finishing, scored six goals in 21 Premier League appearances last season before injuries disrupted his campaign. Despite a quieter period, he remains one of Europe's most highly rated young forwards. Roma views Ferguson as a strategic long-term successor to aging attackers and a cornerstone for their youthful rebuild. His acquisition would signal the club's ambition to compete domestically and in Europe while investing in emerging talent rather than short-term solutions. Though the transfer isn't finalized, Ferguson's approval marks significant progress. Talks will continue in coming days, and a successful deal would underscore Roma's intent to challenge for Serie A supremacy.

Reports: Juventus closing in on deal to sign Francisco Conceição permanently
Juventus and Porto are nearing completion of a permanent transfer deal for Francisco Conceição. Reports from Giovanni Albanese (La Gazzetta dello Sport) and Mirko Di Natale (TuttoJuve) indicate an agreement is close, with Albanese suggesting it's essentially done and Di Natale describing it as very advanced. The total value of the deal is expected to reach up to €27 million, structured as a €22 million fee plus €5 million in bonuses, many of which are reportedly easy for Porto to achieve. A significant factor facilitating the deal, according to Di Natale, is that Conceição has waived a 20% rights fee that could have complicated negotiations. As a result, Conceição is expected to receive a slightly higher salary than he did during his loan spell at Juventus in the 2024-25 season. This outcome marks a shift from earlier speculation when Igor Tudor first became interim manager, which suggested Conceição would not remain at Juventus. His limited playing time under Tudor initially fueled rumors of a departure. However, Conceição's role increased over the following months, particularly during the Club World Cup, contributing to the change in plans. Securing Conceição does not appear to preclude Juventus from pursuing other attacking targets. Reports indicate that the club's interest in Jadon Sancho remains active, with Juventus reportedly having submitted an opening bid to Manchester United for the player recently. Attention is expected to turn more fully to the Sancho pursuit once the Conceição deal is finalized. The situation regarding Francisco Conceição's future at Juventus is therefore becoming clear, pointing towards him staying in Turin and making more appearances for the club.

Top 2025 Training Camp Storylines: Who Steps Up In A New-Look WR Corps Behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba & Cooper Kupp?
The Seattle Seahawks are analyzing their receiver position as part of a training camp preview series, highlighting significant offseason changes. Key additions include free agents Cooper Kupp and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, fifth-round draft pick Tory Horton, seventh-round pick Ricky White III, and free agent Steven Sims. Departures feature franchise icon Tyler Lockett (released due to salary cap) and DK Metcalf (traded to Pittsburgh after requesting a trade). General manager John Schneider revealed the team initially aimed to extend Metcalf's contract ("Plan A"), but his trade demand forced a reshuffle. Jaxon Smith-Njigba returns as the established Pro Bowl WR1, while Cooper Kupp, signed shortly after Metcalf's trade, is projected as the other starter. Despite injury concerns since his dominant 2021 season, Kupp enters camp healthy and has impressed coaches and teammates with his work ethic and leadership, often working early/late with quarterbacks. Beyond the top two, the third receiver role is competitive. Marquez Valdes-Scantling, familiar with offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak's system from New Orleans, is a frontrunner but faces challenges from Jake Bobo and rookie Tory Horton. Horton, a deep-threat specialist from Colorado State, possesses the speed Seattle seeks but is recovering from a knee injury that limited his offseason work. Kubiak praised Valdes-Scantling's intelligence and adaptability, while Schneider highlighted Horton's underrated talent, punt-return ability, large catch radius, and competitiveness.

Today's matches include an afternoon game at 3:30 p.m. EST on Paramount, where Deportivo Riestra (5-9-2 in the first leg) hosts Club Atlético Lanús, a +130 favorite. Riestra is known for weak publicity stunts, like fielding influencer Spreen last November, which has made them unpopular; odds include a -290 wager for Riestra to be scoreless in the first half, and over/under (2.5) goals at -300. The prime-time game at 8:15 p.m. EST on Paramount features Velez Sarsfield (+120), the Supercopa Internacional champions, against visiting Tigre (+310). This match is expected to be defensive, with balanced betting odds on total goals alternating between O/U (1.5) and O/U (2). Velez Sarsfield has rested players, and Michael Santos is a key prop bet to score at +240 after his Copa Libertadores form.

Inter Miami: Lionel Messi named Player of the Matchday
Lionel Messi has been named the MLS Player of the Matchday presented by Michelob Ultra for Matchdays 23 and 24 following his performances for Inter Miami CF. Messi scored two goals in each of Miami's consecutive 2-1 victories, against the New England Revolution and Nashville SC. This marks his fifth consecutive MLS match scoring a brace. With 11 goals in his last six league games, Messi ties Josef Martínez's record for the most goals scored in a six-game stretch in MLS history. He also becomes the first player in league history to score multiple goals in five straight matches. Messi's recent scoring surge brings his season total to 16 goals, tying him with Nashville SC's Sam Surridge for the lead in the Audi Golden Boot race. Furthermore, with 36 goals and 23 assists in his last 35 matches across all competitions (averaging over one goal and 1.68 goal contributions per game), Messi is positioned to potentially become the league's first back-to-back Landon Donovan MLS MVP winner. This award marks Messi's fourth Player of the Matchday honor in 2025 and his 10th overall since joining MLS in August 2023. He is now the league's sixth player to win the award 10 times and holds the record for the most awards among active players, surpassing Josef Martínez (nine). Inter Miami, undefeated in their last six matches with five consecutive wins, featuring Messi, next plays on Wednesday night against FC Cincinnati, a top Eastern Conference opponent. The MLS Player of the Matchday award is selected each matchday through a voting process managed by MLS Communications. A panel of journalists from the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR) contributes 75% of the vote, while a fan vote on Instagram determines the remaining 25%.

Recent Vlahovic contact with Milan keeps hope alive
AC Milan have recently made contact with striker Dusan Vlahovic, driven by manager Max Allegri's desire to reunite with the player after their time together at Juventus. Milan continues to pursue this move despite existing obstacles. Vlahovic's contract with Juventus expires in June 2026, and a contract renewal in Turin appears improbable. Consequently, a sale this summer is highly likely, with Juventus potentially allowing him to leave for a relatively affordable transfer fee of €20 million. However, the low transfer fee is offset by Vlahovic's substantial salary demands; he would bring an expensive wage of €12 million per season from Juventus. Despite this financial hurdle, the relationship between Vlahovic and Allegri remains strong following the initial contact revealed on June 7th, with further recent communication taking place. Maintaining Milan's position in the race for Vlahovic is becoming increasingly important as the weeks pass. Allegri was instrumental in bringing the Serbian striker to Juventus from Fiorentina originally. Therefore, while acknowledging a long road ahead with many obstacles, Milan remains alert and attentive to the possibility of signing Vlahovic.

Report De Winter prefers Inter to Tottenham Hotspur for 25m deal
Belgian reports indicate Inter Milan are close to finalizing a €25 million deal (including add-ons) to sign Genoa defender Koni De Winter. The 23-year-old Belgian international centre-back is said to prefer a move to Inter over Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur. De Winter, who has impressed over the last two seasons at Genoa, attracted interest from several clubs this summer, including Bologna and Atalanta. However, Tottenham and Inter emerged as the primary contenders for his signature. Despite De Winter reportedly choosing Inter, the transfer is not considered imminent. Inter must first sell a player to free up space in their defensive lineup before completing the move. Personal terms between De Winter and Inter are reported to be agreed. De Winter, who has three senior caps for Belgium, moved to Italy in 2018 to join Juventus. He transferred permanently to Genoa for €8 million in 2024 after an initial loan spell. As part of that deal, Genoa still owes Juventus a 20% cut of any future sell-on fee.

Kessie of interest to Juventus after initial Roma approach
Former AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie, currently playing for Al-Ahli, is now being linked with a potential move to Juventus. This follows earlier reported interest from Roma in bringing the Ivory Coast international back to Serie A, where he previously played for both Atalanta and Milan. While a reunion with his former Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini at Roma was considered, talks did not advance. According to reports from Calciomercato.com, Juventus are closely monitoring Kessie's situation and could make a formal proposal for him during the upcoming summer transfer window. Kessie transferred to Al-Ahli from Barcelona for €12.5 million in August 2023, but his contract is set to expire in June 2026, making him a more affordable option now than previously. Juventus are reportedly exploring a potential exchange deal. They are attempting to move winger Nico Gonzalez towards the Saudi Pro League, specifically to Al-Ahli, and could aim to include him as part of a swap to acquire Kessie.

SEC commissioner Greg Sankey talks CFP format, differences with the Big Ten, March Madness expansion (and everybody listens)
SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey addressed key issues in college sports during his opening remarks at SEC Football Media Days in Atlanta. He reiterated his support for exploring expansion of the men's and women's NCAA Tournaments, stating "nothing else in college basketball is static." Sankey commented on the bipartisan SCORE Act legislation in Congress, which aims to assist college sports with antitrust protection. He also advised patience regarding the new revenue-sharing model and efforts to crack down on fake Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals. Regarding football scheduling, Sankey noted that all SEC teams play at least nine games against Power Four opponents and suggested no Big Ten, ACC, or Big 12 team would want to exchange schedules with an SEC lineup. Sankey made four significant comments about the future of the College Football Playoff (CFP) starting in 2026. First, he clarified that control over the CFP format has been frequently discussed with little clarity recently. This follows Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark's suggestion last week that governance is shared by the Big 12, ACC, Big Ten, and SEC.

A Delta plane had to U-turn after flying through a hailstorm that seemingly put a dent in its nose
A Delta Air Lines flight from Barcelona to New York JFK returned to its origin after sustaining damage from a hailstorm. Flight DL169, operated by an Airbus A330, departed at 2:30 p.m. local time on Saturday for an expected eight-hour journey. Flight tracking data revealed the aircraft looped over mainland Spain and the Balearic Sea before circling multiple times and landing back in Barcelona approximately 45 minutes after departure. Delta confirmed the plane experienced "weather-related damage" during the incident. Social media images showed significant damage, including a large dent on the nose and other hail-consistent impacts. Passengers reportedly received severe storm alerts on their phones during taxiing before takeoff. The nine-year-old aircraft (registered N827NW) remained parked in Barcelona through Monday. Delta stated the flight landed safely and rebooked passengers on alternate flights, apologizing for travel delays. This incident follows similar weather-related events, including an Austrian Airlines plane damaged in a 2022 thunderstorm and another Delta flight that diverted to Rome after a 2023 hailstorm.

Arsenal target skips training amid transfer tension with Sporting
Viktor Gyökeres faces disciplinary action from Sporting CP after failing to report for pre-season training by Saturday's deadline, with reports indicating his desire to join Arsenal. The striker, who scored 54 goals in 52 appearances last season, risks a club fine without sufficient justification for his absence. Sporting CP holds a commanding negotiating position, having won three Primeira Liga titles in five years and secured consistent Champions League participation. Club president Frederico Varandas emphasized they have "no pressing need to sell," stating they are comfortable retaining Gyökeres for his remaining three-year contract if Arsenal fails to meet their valuation. The striker has scored 97 goals in 102 games, symbolizing Sporting's revival. Arsenal seeks attacking reinforcements despite nearing a £52 million deal for Chelsea's Noni Madueke (who will sign a five-year contract) and securing Kepa Arrizabalaga. They view Gyökeres as ideal for adding robustness and goal-scoring tenacity to Mikel Arteta's frontline. Negotiations are stalled over Sporting's demand of €70 million (£60.2m) plus €10 million in add-ons. Arsenal's previous €65 million plus €15 million add-ons offer was rejected, as Sporting prioritizes payment structure over total sum. Varandas warned that Gyökeres' absence "complicates exit conditions," stressing "no one is above the club's interests" and that resolution requires "the close of the transfer window, a heavy fine and an apology." Beyond Gyökeres, Arsenal continues talks to retain 17-year-old talent Ethan Nwaneri after his UEFA Under-21 Championship success, amid interest from Chelsea and German clubs. They also monitor Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze, though his £67.5 million release clause remains unchallenged by any formal offer. Arsenal's summer ambitions are clear, but their ability to match Sporting's demands remains uncertain as the transfer window progresses.

Wesley Gassova on Bologna radar from Al-Nassr
Bologna are reportedly targeting Brazilian forward Wesley Gassova, as indicated by Sky Sport Italia, despite his €18m transfer to Al-Nassr in August 2024. The 20-year-old, who has earned nine caps for Brazil's Under-20 team, previously played for Corinthians before joining the Saudi Pro League club. At Al-Nassr, Wesley became teammates with Cristiano Ronaldo and worked briefly under Italian coach Stefano Pioli. Bologna's interest emerges as a potential contingency plan should they decide to sell Dan Ndoye this summer, though CEO Claudio Fenucci recently stated the club has "no need to sell anymore players" following Sam Beukema's transfer to Napoli, casting doubt on Ndoye's departure. Wesley offers tactical versatility, capable of playing on either wing in a trident attack or as a central supporting striker. During his debut season with Al-Nassr, he made 22 appearances across all competitions, contributing one goal and three assists.

Milan Mayor Confirms ‘Negotiations Are Progressing’ With Inter Milan & AC Milan On San Siro
Milan Mayor Beppe Sala has confirmed that negotiations are progressing with Inter Milan and AC Milan regarding the sale of the San Siro land. He provided this update to reporters, stating the clubs aim to purchase the land from the city. Inter Milan and AC Milan plan to build a new stadium adjacent to the existing San Siro structure. This comes after initial plans to demolish the old stadium faced bureaucratic hurdles, leading the clubs to consider building separately outside the city. They view a new stadium as essential to remain competitive with Europe's top clubs in terms of infrastructure and revenue. Mayor Sala emphasized that neither side wants to give anything away for free, acknowledging the clubs must look after their own interests. While expressing his own and other politicians' desire to move forward, he warned of significant obstacles and voiced concern about reaching a mutually beneficial agreement. Sala clarified the differing priorities: the city administration focuses on public interest rather than cash flow, while the clubs seek to balance their books. He stated negotiations are ongoing but revealed some city councillors have raised objections to the proposed sale price, despite it being certified by the Revenue Agency and the University.

Patrick Mahomes is voted the NFL’s top quarterback by AP writers
Patrick Mahomes has been voted the No. 1 quarterback in the NFL by The Associated Press in a preseason survey of eight AP Pro Football Writers. This marks his position atop the rankings, though he faced more competition than in 2023 and 2024 when he was a unanimous choice. The ranking is based on current status entering the 2025 season, using a points system where first-place votes are worth 10 points, and second through fifth-place votes are worth 5, 3, 2, and 1 point respectively. Mahomes, the three-time Super Bowl MVP, received five first-place votes to secure the top spot. Reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen finished second, earning two first-place votes. Joe Burrow received the remaining first-place vote and placed third. Two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson ranked fourth, and Jalen Hurts, who notably outplayed Mahomes in the Eagles' Super Bowl 59 victory over the Chiefs, came in fifth. Jayden Daniels and C.J. Stroud also received votes. Despite posting a career-low 3,928 passing yards and tying his fewest touchdown passes (26) last season, Mahomes led the Kansas City Chiefs to their third consecutive Super Bowl appearance and fifth in his seven years as the starting quarterback. Entering his age-30 season, Mahomes now has the opportunity to become only the fourth quarterback in NFL history to win four Super Bowls.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is poised for a potential return to France, with his former club Marseille negotiating to sign him. Marseille is offering the forward a two-year contract and discussions are currently focused on finalizing the financial terms of the deal. This move is facilitated by Aubameyang's current club, Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadsiah, who have agreed to mutually terminate the striker's contract. This termination will make Aubameyang a free agent, allowing him to join Marseille without a transfer fee.

Diogo Jota: Liverpool pay tribute to forward and his brother Andre Silva in pre-season friendly against Preston
Liverpool paid tribute to Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva during a pre-season friendly against Preston North End at Deepdale, their first match since the pair died in a car accident in Spain on July 3. Emotional pre-match scenes included a rendition of 'You'll Never Walk Alone', Preston captain Ben Whiteman laying a wreath in front of Liverpool fans, and players entering the field led by Mohamed Salah and Whiteman while supporters displayed flags and banners and sang Jota's name. A moment of silence was observed before kick-off, with both teams gathered around the centre circle. Players wore black armbands, and digital tributes were displayed on the stadium's big screen and pitchside LED boards during the silence. The crowd sang Jota's name again in the 20th minute of the match. Liverpool confirmed prior to the game that the number 20 shirt, worn by Jota, would be permanently retired across all levels at the club in his honour. The pre-match programme also featured written tributes to Jota and Silva. Liverpool manager Arne Slot expressed the club's sentiments, stating on the Liverpool website: "We will always carry him with us in our hearts, in our thoughts, wherever we go... To retire his shirt is the one thing we could, should and have done… I think what I take comfort in [is that] in the last month of his life he was a champion in everything."

Peru Chile Soccer Copa America
The weather forecast indicates light rain early followed by decreasing clouds overnight, with a low temperature of 67 degrees Fahrenheit.
