The Euro 2008 final has arrived at last and the whole world and universe came together on Sunday in Vienna to celebrate the culmination of three weeks of football, ahead of Germany v Spain.

The old town was drowned all afternoon in a sea of red, gold and black, in which German and Spanish fans could hardly be told apart.

The ones boasted hats, wigs and face paint in the German black-red-gold, while the others waved red and gold flags with giant black bulls.

You have to look at their faces and then you can figure out if they re German or Spanish, said Matts Landmark, a Swedish fan in national blue and yellow.

A distinctly Hawaiian feel descended on the fans as temperatures hovered around 30 degrees Celsius and the sun streamed down, with flags used as…

Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey signed a pre-contract agreement with Juventus on this day in 2019.

It was announced by the Serie A club that Ramsey, then 28, had agreed a four-year deal and would officially join on July 1, the day after his Arsenal contract expired.

Confirmation of the move ended considerable speculation over the future of the Wales international, who turned down a new deal at the Emirates Stadium.

Juventus had long been the favourites for Ramsey’s signature despite a host of other top European clubs, including Barcelona, Real Madrid, Paris St Germain and Bayern Munich, being linked.

Coming off the worst performance of his young NFL career, Brock Purdy is looking to rebound in a big way as the San Francisco 49ers head to Minnesota to take on the Vikings on Monday Night Football as Week 7 comes to a close.

With “Purdy is bad” truthers coming out guns blazing, Mr. Irrelevant might need to shoulder a bigger load with a hobbled Christian McCaffrey, Trent Williams doubtful, and Deebo Samuel out.

You can see how I’m betting on the Brock Purdy odds as we dive into the MNF odds in my free NFL picks below.

The value of hosting an NFL playoff game is on display when the Miami Dolphins visit the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Wild Card Round on Saturday night.

It’s not been a pretty start to the season for the Denver Broncos, particularly the offense, which ranks among the worst through three weeks. 

However, opportunity knocks on Sunday vs. a banged-up Tampa Bay Buccaneers secondary, and my Broncos vs. Buccaneers predictions believe Bo Nix will answer the bell. 

Here are my best free NFL picks for this Week 3 showdown on September 22. 

Broncos vs Buccaneers prediction

My best betBo Nix Over 184.5 passing yards (-115 at BetMGM)

My analysis

Bo Nix and this highly-regarded crop of rookie quarterbacks has been highly disappointing to start the year. However, the Denver Broncos pivot made big strides from Week 1 to Week 2, and his passing yards prop of 181.5 is …

Brendan Rodgers says Leicester are aiming to achieve “a result that will be heard around the world” when they take on Manchester United on Sunday with qualification for the Champions League on the line.

A Leicester win would lift them back into the top four above United, who would be left hoping Chelsea lose at home against Wolves. Rodgers believes United will go into the showdown at the King Power Stadium with more pressure.

“I think I’m technically unemployed, so any managers, hit me up on WhatsApp,” were Adebayo Akinfenwa’s words in a live television pitch-side interview after scoring at Wembley to clinch promotion to League One with AFC Wimbledon six years ago – a come-and-get me-plea if there ever was one – and so it seems fitting that one of the game’s household names will return there for one last kick, one last dance, to bring down the curtain on 22 years as a professional. He ended up fielding offers from from Argentina to Australia but signed for Wycombe Wanderers, where an initial one-year deal has turned into a six-year stay and the best days of his career. “I remember looking in my DMs, there were CEOs and I thought: ‘I should have done this years ago!’”…
