Sources: USMNT’s Cardoso top target for Atlético

Guardiola and Man City took the Club World Cup seriously, but the tournament really offered little genuine competition and was seen as a distraction from the Premier League rather than the main event.

André Onana smearing Vaseline on his goalkeeper gloves may seem counter-intuitive, but it’s just one of many ways footballers seek out marginal gains.

USWNT coach Vlatko Andonovski hit back at criticism from former player Carli Lloyd, calling it “insane” to doubt the players’ drive to win after a 0-0 draw to Portugal in the Women’s World Cup on Tuesday.
