Where do you see women’s cricket in five years?

One hundred days before the start of the 2023 Women’s Ashes, England Women are set to attract record crowds this summer.Ticket sales started in November after a ballot process, and ESPNcricinfo understands that over 55,000 tickets have already been sold for England’s home fixtures. The Ashes, a multi-format series, start with the Test match at Trent Bridge on June 22, followed by white-ball fixtures from July 1-18, while Sri Lanka will tour for six white-ball matches in September.The sales figures mean that England are already guaranteed a record-breaking total attendance this summer, having attracted around 50,000 fans to series against South Africa and India in 2022.England will play at some of the country’s biggest stadia in 2023. Ticket sales for the Ashes T20Is at Edgbaston, The Oval and Lord’s are internally considered a major priority by the ECB, who have made a point of marketing the women’s series alongside the men’s.Warwickshire announced last week that they have already sold over 14,000 tickets for the Edgbaston T20I, which looks set to become the best-attended England Women’s home game outside of world events. The current record, set at Lord’s for last year’s India ODI, stands at 15,187.”It’s really exciting that we’ve sold so many tickets,” Nat Sciver-Brunt, who is playing for Mumbai Indians in the inaugural Women’s Premier League, said. “You see it out here in the WPL and back home in the Hundred: a big crowd makes such a difference.”The prospect of playing in front of a full Lord’s or Edgbaston in an Ashes game is pretty cool. It’s what you grow up watching, so I’m really looking forward to that.”Early-bird ticket prices are available until March 9.

Manchester City have wasted no time in filling the famous No.10 shirt, handing it to French prodigy Rayan Cherki in the wake of Jack Grealish’s departure to Everton. The 21-year-old arrived from Lyon just before the FIFA Club World Cup in a deal worth €36 million (£30.5m), with further add-ons potentially inflating the fee.

• WHAT HAPPENED?

  Cherki’s move is being billed as a long-term masterstroke, with City seeing him as a creative spark to help bridge the gap left by the exits of club icon Kevin De Bruyne and now Grealish. Known for his silky close control and ability to glide past defenders, the youngster has been on City’s radar since emerging as a standout talent in Ligue 1.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Last season, Cherki notched the joint-highest number of assists (11) in the French top flight and was one of only two non-Paris Saint-Germain players to earn a place in the Ligue 1 Team of the Season. Soon, after his unveiling, he hinted at his preferred playing position, which aligns with his jersey number, "I prefer to play No.10, but right now I just want to play. Where I am on the pitch is not important; I just want to be on the pitch and help the team to win. I am ready.” 

• DID YOU KNOW?

  While Cherki’s arrival marks a new chapter, Grealish’s loan move to Everton marks the end of a turbulent period at City. The England international, signed for a British-record fee in 2021, has struggled for consistency under Guardiola and saw his minutes dwindle last season. 

  Now heading to Merseyside on a season-long loan, Grealish will work under David Moyes in what could be a career-defining stint. Everton have secured an option to make the deal permanent next summer for around £50 million ($67m), a figure that could tempt City to cut ties for good if the 29-year-old flourishes.

  WHAT NEXT FOR MANCHESTER CITY?

  Pep Guardiola’s men will begin their Premier League campaign on Saturday with a trip to Molineux to face Wolves. After an underwhelming season, as per City's high standards, they will look to dethrone Liverpool from the perch and reclaim domestic dominance. 

Bayern Munich are set to tie two players down to new contracts, with extensions for Dayot Upamecano and rising star Lennart Karl close to completion.

Upamecano and Karl close to new Bayern contractsCentre-back states his intention to stayContract extensions expected to be completed imminentlyFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

Bayern are close to securing contract extensions for two key players: centre-back Upamecano and attacking prospect Karl. Negotiations with Upamecano have been ongoing for months, with both the player and Bayern hierarchy keen to finalise an agreement that would see him remain beyond his current deal, which is set to expire in June 2026. Meanwhile, talks with 17-year-old Karl are at an advanced stage with Bayern “very confident” of securing his signature for the long term following his impressive form in youth and first-team pre-season matches.

Sporting director Max Eberl confirmed following the 4-0 friendly win against Tottenham Hotspur, saying: “It’s definitely a goal that we want to extend,” referencing their intent over Upamecano during a recent mixed zone. 

Upamecano himself reiterated after the friendly win: “I’m happy here,” noting ongoing discussions between his agent, Eberl and sporting director Christoph Freund. Eberl further : “It’s looking very good,” highlighting Bayern’s optimism around the 17-year-old’s extension.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Upamecano’s extension would represent another strong statement from Bayern as they continue to lock down their core squad, having already secured Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies to long-term deals this year. Under Vincent Kompany, Upamecano was a regular in the starting XI until his season was cut short by injury. Karl, meanwhile, has been prolific in scoring and assisting goals at youth level and made an impact in pre-season matches, notably scoring against Tottenham, after making an appearance at the Club World Cup.

Bayern expect to finalise Upamecano’s extension within weeks, although exact salary terms remain under negotiation, with agreement anticipated to extend to at least 2029. Karl’s renewal could be announced before the end of the week, potentially running through to 2028. The pair are set to play a role in Bayern’s upcoming domestic and European fixtures as the Bundesliga champions prepare for another title challenge.

Depois de ser prestigiado pelo presidente Julio Casares, que garantiu sua permanência como técnico do São Paulo, o técnico Rogério Ceni usou a fala nos vestiários após a derrota por 1 a 0 para o Internacional, em pleno Morumbi, nesta terça-feira (9), pelo Campeonato Brasileiro, para explicar de uma vez a confusão que protagonizou com o meia Patrick.

+ATUAÇÕES: Nestor tira chance de “redenção” de Igor Gomes em noite ruim do São Paulo

Segundo o próprio Ceni revelou, ele o camisa 88 discutiram no intervalo da derrota por 3 a 1 para o Fluminense no último sábado (5), no Maracanã, após o jogador saber que seria substituído.

-No intervalo do jogo do Maracanã, resolvi fazer uma alteração. Patrick estava sofrendo para fazer a composição defensiva, Fluminense tem bom toque de bola. Ele teve uma reação que não é condizente com um profissional.

O que seria essa atitude? Segundo Ceni, Patrick reagiu com palavrões ao saber da alteração. Foi pedido que ele se retirasse do vestiário, mas ele voltou a esbravejar. O episódio, contudo, está superado para o treinador, que revelou um pedido de desculpas ao elenco e à comissão técnica por parte do meia na reapresentação do grupo, no domingo (6), no CT da Barra Funda.

– Foi uma atitude um pouco fora de padrão. Eu não vejo problema em jogador reclamar. A opção de não escalá-lo hoje foi para ter um meio-campo mais consistente, mais forte, não foi por isso. Ele entrou no segundo tempo. Entrou, jogou 45 minutos. Se houver algo além, é com a diretoria, por ser algo excepcional.Você tem que relevar algumas coisas, para mim o que acontece no campo fica no campo.

Alegando que ‘não vai esconder nenhuma informação sobre o ocorrido’, Ceni aproveitou para aconselhar Patrick e lembrá-lo de como funcionam as coisas no Morumbi.

– Jogador que não está pronto para sair não pode fazer parte do grupo. Já vi gente muito importante no São Paulo ser substituído: Raí, Muller, Careca, Lucas Moura, Dodô…Isso faz parte do futebol. Ou tem comportamento profissional mais adequado, ou faremos escolhas da nossa vida. Conversamos e segue trabalhando.

A alfinetada do treinador veio na condução da informação, que segundo ele, foi vazada.

-Isso vaza de dentro como em vários clubes acontecem. Vocês da imprensa têm amigos. Não foi nem uma discussão. E a história é contada do tamanho que fica melhor para dar a notícia.

The Swiss team are currently preparing for the start of Euro 2025 and took on Luzern's Under-15 team in a behind-closed-doors friendly. The unofficial game was played in three 30-minute sections and was meant to be kept a secret. However, a player accidentally showed off footage on TikTok and revealed that the Swiss team had lost 7-1, according to Blick.

WHAT WAS SAID

Swiss Football Association spokesperson Sven Micosse said: "It's not uncommon in women's football to compete against junior teams. The goal: to bring a certain competitive element. The focus during this phase of preparation is on the physical aspect. Regardless of the result, these training matches are very similar to our international matches in terms of intensity and mileage."

USMNT's Turner reportedly set for Lyon moveSpent 2024-25 campaign on loan at Crystal PalaceGoalkeeper searching for starting minutes year out from World CupFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

U.S. men's national team goalkeeper Matt Turner is set to sign for Ligue 1 side Lyon, in a $9.1M (€8M) move from English Premier League side Nottingham Forest, according to

Turner, 30, spent the 2024-25 season on loan at Crystal Palace, where he made four appearances en route to winning the FA Cup with the .

The move materialized quickly, according to the report, with Turner searching for regular first-team minutes at a club playing at a high level. Lyon's current starter, Lucas Perri, is reportedly the subject of transfer speculation and is expected to leave the club this summer – making room for Turner as the No. 1.

Turner has 51 caps with the USMNT and remains the starting goalkeeper roughly one year out from the 2025 FIFA World Cup. He is currently with Mauricio Pochettino's squad, participating in the CONCACAF Gold Cup camp.

The 30-year-old was named MLS Goalkeeper of the Year in 2021 with the New England Revolution, which earned him a move abroad to England with Premier League side Arsenal, where he made seven appearances.

He then moved to Forest, where he was expected to be the starting goalkeeper, but after 17 matches, he lost his starting role to Matz Sels. He then went on loan to Palace, where he struggled to break into the team outside of their early run in the FA Cup.

Van Gaal tears into UnitedTells old club to follow the Liverpool blueprintVan Gaal not managed club side since UnitedFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

Van Gaal slammed the way United have been run and argued that he no longer sees them as a football club. The former Red Devils boss spent two seasons at Old Trafford, winning one FA Cup in his time at the club, and believes it is moving yet further away from how it once was. Van Gaal argued that United were too driven by commercial success and that's why they have fallen well short of league contention. To add yet further insult, he suggested that in order for United to return to an elite level, the ownership should follow the blueprint of bitter rivals Liverpool.

AdvertisementAFPWHAT VAN GAAL SAID

Speaking to, Van Gaal said: "It is still a commercial club. It is not a football club. I have said that before – and that's always difficult.

"When [it is] not the manager deciding which player has to come, it's very difficult.

"Then you can fire the manager because he's not getting results. When other people buy the players, then you have a problem. You need to have the knowledge and orientation [of the manager] because he has to train them.

"[At Liverpool] Arne Slot is the man who says to his technical manager, you need to buy this player. Pay attention to it."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Sine departing Old Trafford, Van Gaal has often spoken critically of United. He actively discouraged Erik Ten Hag from joining the club, stating: "Erik ten Hag is a great coach and that is always good for Manchester United, but Manchester United is a commercial club, which is a difficult choice for a coach. He would be better going to a football club."

The similarity of language used suggests Van Gaal believes United have not shifted their stance or culture in years, despite the injection of the new voice of Sir Jim Ratcliffe in the club's hierarchy. It is also possible Van Gaal sees Ratcliffe as another figure to take United yet further into a more commercial direction.

Despite being linked with jobs at both Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund in recent years, Van Gaal has not returned to club management since leaving United. He has only been in charge of the Netherlands, his third spell overseeing the national team, since being shown the exit door in Manchester. A return to football is unlikely as he continues to battle and recover from illness.

One Chelsea player has failed to win over manager Enzo Maresca behind-the-scenes, and he’s open to the idea of signing for an elite club indefinitely for next season.

Chelsea beat FC Copenhagen 2-1 in Europa Conference League

The west Londoners kicked off an excellent start to their Europa Conference League knockout campaign with a 2-1 victory at FC Copenhagen in their first leg of their last 16 tie, with goals from Reece James and Enzo Fernández handing the Blues a one-goal advantage heading into their second leg clash at Stamford Bridge.

It was Chelsea’s first away win in all competitions since their 3-1 victory at Kazakhstani minnows Astana all the way back in December, and while this tie still hangs in the balance, Maresca was relieved to finally clinch a win on the road.

“A long time [laughs]! Yeah, very important for many reasons,” said Maresca on the long-awaited Chelsea away win. “For sure because it’s away, for sure because it’s a knockout game now so you need that. And also for the performance.

“They surprised us because in the last almost three years with this manager, they played two games with a line of five, so we didn’t expect that. In the first-half, we controlled the game, we didn’t create chances. Also, when we planned the game, we also expected not to create many chances when we have Shim [Mheuka], who is 17-years-old, Ty [George] is 17-years-old; we knew we would struggle a little bit.

“Overall, we deserved to win the game, and it’s good because we gave chances to all of them to get minutes.”

Chelsea let a host of B team players leave during the January transfer window, which contributed towards Maresca handing a few academy teenagers some minutes in Denmark last night. One of the winter departees, João Félix, left west London to join Serie A heavyweights AC Milan on a temporary deal.

The Portugal international impressed during the early stages of his Milan loan, but he’s since failed to recapture that initially promising run of form, with the San Siro outfit’s stance on a permanent move now emerging.

João Félix open to joining AC Milan from Chelsea this summer

As things stand, Milan are not inclined to negotiate an extended stay for the £130,000-per-week attacking midfielder, even if the player himself would be keen on the idea.

According to GiveMeSport, Felix is interested in joining Milan from Chelsea this summer for the 2025/2026 season, but the 25-year-old would need to improve his overall displays to convince the Rossoneri to negotiate a deal.

Right now, Milan are not even entertaining the thought of discussing an extended loan, so Felix will need to put in a real shift from now until the end of this campaign.

GMS add that Felix has failed to impress Maresca or win him over back in London, so there is every reason for the ex-Benfica and Barcelona star to work his socks off in Italy.
