Almost every social media post Sunderland AFC have published this summer has featured at least one reply asking the club to sign a striker. This isn’t the first transfer window in which it’s happened, and with three weeks left, there’s still time to add to the ranks- although not in time for tomorrow’s curtain raiser.

Eliezer Mayenda will be Sunderland’s main man for now, so let’s back him

I’m chuffed for the lad, as it’s the right option for all parties at this point in time. With the midfield choices we have available, Embleton was unlikely to play a great deal of first team football this campaign. He needs to play in order to get back...

Good luck, Embo!

It was nearly complete, it was nearly so sweet. Reading were so very close to starting their 2024/25 season in perfect fashion today, but were denied late on. Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan had given the Royals a deserved first-half lead which the visiting side fought doggedly to protect after the break, only for the referee (awarding a soft penalty for handball) and Alfie May (who converted the spot-kick) to have other ideas.

Chelsea have returned from our preseason US Tour, but Trevoh Chalobah has not been brought back into the fold just because we’re back at Cobham. In fact, the 25-year-old Academy graduate has continued to train away from the first-team, alongside the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Armando Broja, with the club looking to engineer moves for all three (and the many others surplus to immediate requirements) before the end of the transfer window — and ideally sooner. As ever with players being pushed out of a team, it’s not exactly a great look, though hardly a unique situation.

Friday marked the Olympic debut of “breaking” with the women’s b-girl competition. The field was stacked with teenage phenoms, world champions, breakdancing pioneers getting to show their craft on the world stage — and also Raygun, a 36-year-old Australian professor who was just there to get funky.

Good Friday morning, TSFers. It’s a rainy, windy day in D.C. as the remnants of Hurricane Debby roll through the area. But the rain can’t dampen my Friday spirits too much! It’s been rather hectic for me of late, just a lot going on. I’m looking forward to a somewhat calmer weekend and things slowing down over the next few weeks. Do you ever get like that?

Kate Jackson began her acting career as a silent ghost on TV's classic 1960s gothic daytime drama Dark Shadows but remains alive and well years after two horrific battles with breast cancer. Jackson went on to small screen prime-time stardom on police/detective/crime drama/comedies like The Rookies, Charlie's Angels, Scarecrow and Mrs. King, and more. This is her triumphant story.

One thing you can certainly not accuse Chelsea’s sporting directors of, is not sticking to the plan. They have set out their stall, and will not reconsider their ways. On some level, that’s commendable, even. On another level, that’s quite foolish. A plan that results in either great success or drastic failure, with no other possible outcome*? No wonder they hired Enzo Maresca.

Stephen Curry waited his entire career to make his Olympics debut, but the start of his run in the 2024 Paris Games was decidedly underwhelming. In the United States’ first four games in the Olympics, Curry averaged only 7.3 points per game on 35.7 percent shooting from the field and 25 percent shooting from three-point range.

[Note: Unless otherwise indicated, the commentary and quotes in this article are from interviews the author conducted with those individuals mentioned.]. This year marks the 60th Anniversary of the classic TV show Bewitched, which originally aired on ABC from 1964 to 1972. The show remains popular in reruns, and will soon be released in a special Blu-ray edition to mark the anniversary.

The official reason that Đorđe Petrović did not go on tour with the first-team to America was some sort of unspecified minor injury, but it seemed fairly clear that what he was suffering from was just a less high-profile case of the Trevoh Chalobahs: summarily deemed surplus to requirements despite playing a key role in our positive and winning finish to last season.

A trip to the gold medal game is on the line when U.S. women’s basketball team faces Australia today at 11:30am ET. The Opals — who won the bronze medal in the 2022 World Cup — were considered to be one of the most formidable teams in the field heading into the Paris Olympics.

In two short months Emma Hayes has done what her predecessors failed to do in two previous Olympic Games: win the gold medal. Hayes took over the US Women’s National Team just a few weeks ago, in June after leaving Chelsea, and she was immediately into the thick of things with the team heading to the Olympics in Paris. Expectations were as high as ever of course, though it’s entirely unsurprising that Hayes delivered to those expectations.

If there was a gold medal for “terminally online pettiness” then Kevin Durant would be the all-around champion. KD has had an ... interesting life online, to say the least. He’s quick to clap back at people who upset him, he’ll never let slander go, and Durant will even create a burner to defend himself.

There are two generally accepted ways of handling a medal count: Gold-focused, as the IOC uses or a total medal count that relies on whoever has the most total medals. Right now the USA is in the lead either way, but it’s also sparked the imagination of different ways to evaluate Olympic success considering the wildly different conditions of countries around the world.
