Kylian Mbappe’s inexorable rise as one of world football’s biggest stars has been nicely summed up by his appearance on the cover of Time magazine. The 19-year-old (NINETEEN!) having his image on the front of the iconic publication as one of it’s “Next Generation Leaders” for 2018 is the latest example of his star eclipsing that of Paris Saint-Germain teammate Neymar. The France international won the World Cup with Les Bleus this summer and has been received jubilantly in his home country since returning to domestic action. Meanwhile, Neymar has been working hard to bolster his waning position among the…
Michael Carrick ended his 19-year playing career in the summer to take his first coaching job at Manchester United. As a player he won five Premier League titles and the Champions League, as well as picking up 34 caps for England. But in his new autobiography, “Between the Lines” — the profits of which will go to the Michael Carrick foundation — the 37-year-old has revealed things did not always go as smoothly off the pitch, opening up about his battle with depression following the 2009 Champions League final defeat to Barcelona in Rome. In an interview, Carrick talks about…
Romelu Lukaku scored twice to earn Belgium a 2-1 victory over Switzerland in the Nations League on Friday, lifting the mood in the country after a week marred by match-fixing allegations. Belgium’s second win in the group means they have won 11 of their last 12 matches, the only blemish being the World Cup semifinal defeat by France in July. Lukaku broke the deadlock just before the hour mark, finding himself unmarked on the right as Thomas Meunier set him up for a left-footed shot that squeezed under the body of Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer. But the Belgian defence were…
Orphans in Malawi are set to receive over 100 Sadio Mane Liverpool shirts donated after the forward changed squad number in the summer. Mane took up Liverpool’s No. 10 jersey in July after it had previously been worn by Philippe Coutinho. Liverpool then offered supporters who had purchased Mane No. 19 shirts before the switch was announced the opportunity of a like-for-like exchange for a Mane No. 10 strip. Those No. 19 shirts have now been gathered and handed to KitAid, who are working with Friends of Mulanje Orphans (FOMO) to distribute the kit to the underprivileged children in Malawi.…
Mohamed Salah scored a wondergoal to take his Egypt tally up to 40 goals as the Pharaohs defeated Eswatini 4-1 in Friday’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, but was forced to limp off late with an injury. The Liverpool forward found the net in the 45th minute directly from a corner following goals from Ahmed El Mohamady, Amr Warda and Trezeguet. Sibonginkosi Gamedze netted a consolation for the visitors. Salah’s goal makes him Egypt’s all-time top scorer in AFCON qualifying, with his tally of 13 putting him ahead of Hossam Hassan on 12. Hassan is the Pharaohs’ all-time top scorer…
Eric Bailly is ready to consider his future next summer if his prospects at Manchester United do not improve, sources said. The defender started 15 games in all competitions last season — one fewer than Henrikh Mkhitaryan who left in January — and has been restricted to three Premier League starts so far this term. He has been linked with moves to Arsenal and Tottenham but sources have told ESPN FC the 24-year-old is determined to give himself at least until the end of the season to win a regular place in Jose Mourinho’s team. United, according to sources, would…
Arsene Wenger to become their general manager after the January transfer window, with sporting director Antero Henrique’s future under threat, sources have said. Former Arsenal manager Wenger would be a likely replacement for Henrique, who has failed to secure deals for several PSG transfer targets. Wenger has told PSG he is keeping his options open, and although he would prefer a coaching position he has not ruled out the possibility of joining them if a significant role became available. The 68-year-old is unlikely to make any decision until nearer Christmas — and the Ligue 1 champions would look to replace…
Gernot Rohr has stressed the importance of a Nigerian victory against Libya in Saturday’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Uyo, but is confident that his side can live up to the occasion. Libya’s currently lead Group E on four points after thumping the Seychelles before demonstrating their obduracy by taking a point from South Africa in Durban on September 8. “I don’t see it as pressure,” Rohr said. “I see it as a pleasure to be playing this game, and I know that by the end of these two matches, we hope to be closer to qualifying for the…
Michael Carrick has talked about of his ambition to manage Manchester United but insists he has a lot to learn before he is ready for the Old Trafford hotseat. Carrick, 37, hung up his boots in the summer to begin his coaching career as part of Jose Mourinho’s backroom staff at Old Trafford, and the former midfielder is hopeful it is the first step on the road to proving he is up to the top job when the time comes. “It’s impossible for me to sit here and talk in those terms at this stage,” Carrick said at the launch…
Usain Bolt was wary of calling himself a professional footballer following a two-goal performance in his maiden start for Central Coast Mariners, a 4-0 friendly win over Macarthur South West on Friday. Calls for the eight-time Olympic champion sprinter to be offered a contract are growing, and while Bolt said he was pleased with his improvement he refused to label himself a pro yet. “Until I sign, I am not saying that,” he said after the match. “When we will sit down with the club, we will sit down and discuss that if we want to move forward and what…
As hilarious as this might sound, Made Kuti, son of music icon, Femi Kuti has revealed some of the rumours he has heard about the Afrikan shrine which includes sacrificing people. The latest member of Postive Force Band (Femi’s band) recently granted an interview where he spoke about returning to Nigeria, religion and the shocking rumours he has heard about the shrine. “Growing up in the shrine, I can’t tell you different because I didn’t know different, it was normal.

It may be all over between music superstars Beyoncé and Jay-Z and former friends Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. And it appears to be all about rapper West’s support for US President Donald Trump. Reports have it that Jay-Z – real name Shawn Carter – and wife Beyoncé Knowles-Carter are sick of West’s political “bull***t”. “They are outraged over Kanye’s recent political rants,” a source said. The two married couples had been close but after Kardashian’s visit to the White House to discuss prison reform and her husband’s Saturday Night Live performance last week, Beyoncé and Jay-Z have reportedly severed…
The 1–4 Giants take on the 2–3 Eagles tonight, giving us our first look at how New York will rebound from the Odell Beckham Jr.-related controversy that began Sunday morning. And I’ve got to say, I really don’t think the NFL media or fans have truly appreciated both the absurdity and hilarity of Lil Wayne’s role in this controversy. The Giants had some fun with it earlier this week when the team blared a Wayne song during practice, and our video team at SI Now played around with it on Wednesday, but it seems not enough people have truly laughed…
Spotify passed its 10th anniversary this week, and in celebration of its furious growth spurt, the Swedish streaming service has come out with several all-time lists highlighting the music that’s risen to the top of its platform over that decade.

Drake, Ed Sheeran and Eminem are the top-streamed artists of all time, while Sheeran’s “Shape of You” is the most-streamed song followed by Drake’s “One…
For Kendrick Lamar’s fourth Nike sneaker collab he’ll once again be utilizing the iconic Nike Cortez silhouette, but this time he’s going for a simple, “house shoe” vibe. “House shoes have always been part of LA culture,” says Kendrick, according to Nike. His intent with the Kenny IV was to retain the ease and comfort of the slipper, but also allow people to still feel sleek. “The shoe is all about being able to get up and just go out in style.” The limited edition, laceless sneakers come in a white, wolf grey, turf orange and thunder blue colorway.
