FA Cup Excitement

After their stunning victory over Liverpool, Plymouth Argyle face the daunting task of taking on Manchester City. While a "cupset" seems improbable, the magic of the FA Cup is undeniable. Can Argyle continue their historic run?

Another potential upset brews as Crystal Palace face a tough Millwall side. This match promises a tense, tactical battle where set pieces could prove decisive.

Elsewhere, Manchester United, seeking redemption after losing Amad Diallo to injury, hosts a high-flying Fulham. This crucial match could have significant implications for European qualification.

Newcastle United, already in the EFL Cup final, aims to advance in the FA Cup as well. Could a domestic cup double be on the cards for the Magpies?

USWNT SheBelieves Cup Recap

The USWNT finished second in the SheBelieves Cup after a 2-1 loss to Japan. Despite the defeat, the tournament proved valuable for development and tactical experimentation, especially given the absence of key players like Trinity Rodman, Sophia Smith, Mallory Swanson, Naomi Girma, and Rose Lavelle.

Emerging talents like Ally Sentnor (who scored two stunning goals), Catarina Macario (celebrating her return with a goal), and Michelle Cooper (scoring her first senior goal) shone brightly. The tournament provided crucial experience for the future.

Top Stories Around the World

La Liga president Javier Tebas made headlines comparing Manchester City's financial practices to Enron. Meanwhile, racist taunts directed at Vinicius Junior marred Real Madrid's Copa Del Rey match, highlighting the ongoing fight against discrimination in football.
