How will the USMNT replace Mauricio Pochettino? There’s no clear answer
The USMNT head coach is on the verge of sealing a move to Manchester United, but it’s hard to know who could be in the chair nextSign up for our free newsletter hereEven before the 2026 World Cup, the US Soccer Federation projected an air of confidence in its ability to, someday, replace Mauricio Pochettino.“We have a process of, on a regular basis, always reviewing sort of succession planning for all of our key roles at US Soccer,” JT Batson, the federation CEO, told ESPN in April. “We’re ready when anything happens, whether it’s CFO, whether it’s a head coach or anything in between.” Continue reading...

Steph Curry’s defense of Ayesha exposes the ugly double standards of sports’ manosphere | Andrew Lawrence
The Warriors superstar’s forceful defense of his wife over an on-screen kiss has exposed the ugly double standards and fragile masculinity of sports’ manosphereIf Steph Curry is leading with his full government name, know that he means business. In a 90-second video released on Wednesday, from the Instagram account of “Wardell Curry”, he put the internet trolls who have been attacking his wife for years on notice. “Usually the noise doesn’t bother me, doesn’t bother Ayesha,” the four-time NBA champion and Paris Olympic knockout artist said. “But when you’re trying to step on the accomplishments of my wife, and feel the need to have to jump in and give an opinion on something that you really don’t know about, [it] kind of speaks to the bigger conversation on how you view women in this world and what they’re allowed and what they’re not allowed to do.”Posterity will remember this as the NBA’s Oscar slap moment, but without the unnecessary violence. A bizarre turn in the parasocial compact when the restless fanboys pressured a superstar into publicly defending his wife. On this occasion, Curry had to defend his wife for the heinous crime of being the leading lady in a Christmas romcom: a Hallmark knockoff called Second Chance Holiday in which Ayesha Curry plays a dating expert with bad holiday luck and shares a kiss with a man who is not Wardell Stephen Curry II – her husband of 15 years and father to their four children. That apparently was a bridge too far for some of Curry’s former NBA peers. Continue reading...
Carrick sacked by Manchester United with team in Premier League relegation zone – as it happened
The latest news and reaction as Manchester United look for a new head coach after only only three victories so far this season“After going through the Moyes season,” writes Hugh, “the dross football of Mourinho and Van Gaal, the moments-years of Solskjaer, the Rangnick surgery that never was, the middling Ten Hag, the baffling Amorim, and now a decent man thrust into the meat grinder, this is the first year it’s been genuinely hard to watch Man Utd with any emotion.“And it’s not because of the football. It’s that the Glazer ownership and Ratcliffe mismanagement has met the Man City revelations, meaning it’s hard to see the point anymore. £1bn taken out of the club while others were illicitly pumping in roughly the same. A club drained of life, hollowed out … I can take crap football, but I can’t take this anymore.” Continue reading...
Football Daily | ‘The club would like to thank …’: Manchester United dust off the heartfelt exit message
Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!Tuesday 22 April 2014: “Manchester United has announced that David Moyes has left the club. The club would like to place on record its thanks for the hard work, honesty and integrity he brought to the role.”Oh no! Where will the USA! USA! USA! ever be able to find a manager who could lead us to the dizzying heights of yet another humiliating defeat in the round of 16? A completely empty safari shirt on a clothes hanger could do that. Now he’s leaving the national team to prioritise a club team, which is exactly what he criticised Christian Pulisic for doing a while back. A $10m dollar buyout from Manchester United is a way more appealing prospect than another World Cup cycle with this guy. Adios, Mauricio. I’d add gracias, but for what, exactly?” – Chi.If any Manchester United fans weren’t already feeling that their board had totally lost its moral compass, then might I suggest that in holding the board meeting to seal Michael Carrick’s fate in Monaco a new bar in tone-deafness has been set. Out of touch, no? Pas du tout. Bonne chance, Mauricio, you are going to need it fella. Meanwhile, let’s pencil in the next board meeting for six months’ time or so. Circus Circus in Las Vegas anyone? Might be too many clowns” – John Collins.With Lil Wayne doing his bit in the jungle, how long before we do actually see Don Pochettino playing a starring role in the Joel & Jim-hosted caper show I’m A Previously Respectable Manager … Get Me Out Of Here?” – Ken Muir.This is an extract from our daily football email … Football Daily.
