After the first phase of MLB All-Star voting, the Los Angeles Dodgers figure to have plenty of representation across the field at the midsummer classic.

Among the intriguing position battles in the National League is at the hot corner, where Dodgers slugger Max Muncy holds an edge over San Diego Padres star Manny Machado after phase one.

That hasn't sat too well with Padres broadcaster Mark Grant, who addressed the situation during Sunday's matchup against the Cincinnati Reds. In the middle of Machado's at-bat during the fifth inning, Grant began campaigning for his All-Star candidacy, urging fans to submit some ballots with Machado's name on them.

"Let's call it the way it is. Manny Machado is a better third baseman than Max Muncy," Grant said flatly.

In terms of their overall career, there's simply no disputing that Machado has been the superior player. But the All-Star Game doesn't necessarily take into account a career's worth of statistics.

In 2025, Muncy has a .845 OPS with 13 home runs, 55 RBIs and 50 walks in 79 games. The 34-year-old has been on fire in June, too, logging a 1.113 OPS with seven home runs and 24 RBIs in 23 games throughout the month. Machado has recorded similar numbers on the year, logging a .835 OPS with 13 home runs and 47 RBIs.

On paper, it certainly makes sense that there's a close race between the two NL West rivals when it comes to All-Star voting, but Grant suggested that Machado is deserving of the starting spot and encouraged fans to do their part in making that happen.

Former Liverpool defender Glen Johnson has named a key area that the Reds "got wrong" during their massive summer transfer window outlay. The Premier League champions spent more than any club in world football during the 2025 window with an unprecedented outlay of £446 million ($598m) on seven new signings. Yet, almost halfway through the season, the squad appears disjointed, the performances inconsistent and some new signings are already under the scanner.

• Big money, big expectations, but inconsistent returns

  The headline additions included German playmaker Florian Wirtz arriving from Bayer Leverkusen for £100 million, a fee that could rise to £116m ($155m) with performance-related bonuses, and Swedish striker Alexander Isak, whose British-record £125m ($168m) move was celebrated as the final piece of Liverpool’s evolving attack. Isak, who scored prolifically at Newcastle, has managed only two goals in 14 Liverpool appearances. Wirtz, meanwhile, has shown glimpses of class, registering a handful of assists in the Champions League, but remains goalless in all competitions. The 22-year-old has struggled to impose himself in a Liverpool side that has lacked rhythm and intensity, and his own performances have been a far cry from the assertive machine he orchestrated at Leverkusen. Elsewhere, Hugo Ekitike began brightly but has faced injury setbacks. And with Mohamed Salah looking noticeably off the pace after a remarkable 2024-25 season, the entire attacking unit has looked short of inspiration.

  Johnson hits out at two summer signings

  It was not the high-profile forwards, however, that drew Glen Johnson’s sharpest criticism. Speaking to the former right-back singled out defensive recruits Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong as deals that Liverpool "got wrong".

  "Liverpool very rarely get it wrong with transfers, but for me, they got it wrong with the signing of Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez in the summer," he said. 

  He cautioned against writing players off too early but admitted both have fallen well short of expectations.

  He added: "I don’t want to be too harsh on new players or write them off, because it does take time for some to settle down at a big club like Liverpool, especially when coming from teams where there’s less pressure. But at the moment, they don’t look up to it."

  Johnson expressed surprise that Liverpool, a club renowned for data-driven recruitment, had misfired on these two particular signings.

  "It’s strange, because Liverpool usually hit the nail on the head with these types of deals – so many statistics and data goes into their recruitment– but, for now, it looks as if they’ve got those deals wrong," he claimed.

• Summer outlay has backfired so far

  Liverpool’s summer spending spree was intended to accelerate a squad rebuild following the departures of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Luis Díaz. The club pursued a strategy of aggressive investment, hoping to refresh all key areas at once. Instead, the volume of changes appears to have destabilised the team’s core structure. Arne Slot’s side has struggled to find fluency, and established stars have not always meshed easily with newcomers. However, they did churn out a result at San Siro against Inter in the Champions League, which should boost their morale. 

  Slot said after the win: "I think it was mainly for us very important that we got a result today, because with an away game to Marseille also still to play and one home game, we needed points. And we know how difficult that would be over here, because they have been so, so, so strong in this stadium, in the league but definitely also in the Champions League. So it's a great result, like it was against Real Madrid. It's not funny but it's the weird thing that we've had a few special results this season; so, beating Arsenal, beating Real Madrid, beating Newcastle away, beating Aston Villa where they won 10 in a row and only lost against us. So that's why it's so surprising to see that we drop points in so many other games, although there are multiple reasons, but one of them I just said."

  Brighton visit Anfield as Reds seek stability

  Liverpool will hope to carry Champions League momentum back into the Premier League when they host Brighton on Saturday. The Seagulls are capable of troubling any side, and Slot knows a win is essential if Liverpool are to climb back toward the European places.

Beleaguered Liverpool boss Arne Slot has finally been able to share some good news with an injury update on three key players ahead of the Premier League clash with West Ham. The Reds have lost nine of their last 12 games, putting Slot under massive pressure, but the Dutchman has delivered positive updates on key stars Florian Wirtz, Allison and Hugo Ekitike.

Ray of light for Liverpool boss

It's been a diabolical few months for Liverpool, the defence of the Premier League crown is already in tatters and they face an uphill battle to secure an automatic qualification place in the Champions League. High-profile summer signings have failed to integrate into the team and defensive frailties have been their Achilles heel in a series of demoralising defeats, culminating in the 4-1 defeat by PSV Eindhoven at Anfield. Liverpool were without goalkeeper Alisson who pulled out with illness, marquee £116 million signing Wirtz missed out after picking up an injury while on international duty and there were worrying scenes as Ekitike hobbled off on the hour against PSV. 

But Slot has been able to offer a glimmer of hope for Reds fans ahead of the trip to east London.

Slot told reporters at a pre-match press conference: "Ali (Becker) trained again with the team today, so we hope and expect him to be available at the weekend. Florian will have his final day of rehab tomorrow. So, if that all goes well, he could train with the team on Saturday." 

And on Ekitike, he added: "They (medical staff) don't expect that it has to be a big issue, but the games come fast so let's see for the weekend. But it shouldn't have to be a big issue." 

Dutchman defiant over Anfield future

Just hours after watching his team be dismantled at Anfield by PSV the Dutch boss spoke with the press and was confident his job was safe after having discussions with Liverpool hierarchy. He told reporters: "We've had the same conversations that we've had since I got here. We fight on. We try to improve, but the conversations have been the same as they have been for the last one and a half years." 

When pressed on what he can change to stop the rot, Slot added: "That's not so easy to say. It's normal to reflect on a game with decisions you have made. Maybe you do it a little bit more if you lose. In the end, it's about doing what this club is about. Keep fighting no matter how difficult it is. It would be nice if we reward ourselves in the moments we play well. People are focused on the parts we don't play well but there are large parts where we do play well."

Getty Images SportAll eyes on the London Stadium

Such is Liverpool's form that hosts West Ham, who are languishing in 17th place, will believe they have the chance to land three points against the Merseysiders on Sunday afternoon. The Hammers have begun to turn a corner under boss Nuno Espirito Santo and are unbeaten in their last three matches. Meanwhile, the Reds have lost each of their last five away league games against London sides, as many as in their previous 31. 

But Slot has remained tight-lipped on whether he will make wholesale changes for the match, saying: "Everyone trains with us every single day, and they can prove themselves in that moment. It's always a balance. There was a period where I lost, and I made a few changes and people complained that I made too many changes. Of course, I consider but I can not tell you the end decision of what I've considered for Sunday."

Anything other than a victory for Slot on Sunday will pile even more pressure on the beleaguered boss ahead of a midweek visit from Sunderland in the Premier League.

Fourth-innings chase completed in an hour and a quarter on final morning

ECB Reporters Network supported by Rothesay27-Sep-2025

Essex 438 (Walter 158, Elgar 118, Overton 6-88) and 99 for 3 beat Somerset 433 (Goldsworthy 100, Thomas 86, Rew 74, Overton 60) and 99 (Thomas 39, Porter 4-18) by seven wicketsTwenty-year-old Charlie Allison kept his head during an otherwise nervy hour and a quarter as Essex claimed a seven-wicket victory to round off the Rothesay County Championship season.Allison, one of Essex’s stand-out performers during an otherwise disappointing season, finished the game with a second six off Jake Ball over long leg. He was 32 not out from 34 balls as Essex reached their target of 95 from just 18.4 overs.Lewis Gregory had given Somerset some hope of an unlikely upset by removing Dean Elgar and Tom Westley inside the first six overs before taking the catch in the deep to end Paul Walter’s tone-setting innings. Walter, a first-innings centurion, had amassed 30 from 31 balls when he departed with 39 runs still required.The Somerset captain was fired up in the face of desperate odds against and caused jitters in the Essex ranks as he repeatedly beat the outside edge of the bat. He bowled through unchanged and was rewarded with figures of 2 for 43 from his nine overs.For two-and-a-half days it looked like the game would peter out into a tame draw with handshakes accepted in mid-afternoon and the curtain brought down on a forgettable Championship season for both sides. However, that was before Jamie Porter initiated a collapse of monumental proportions amid the gloom of a day-three afternoon and early evening.Essex had subsided themselves earlier in the day from an overnight 295 for 2 to 438 all out and a nominal lead of five runs. But in 34 overs reminiscent of some of Essex’s glory years of the recent past, they rolled Somerset over for 99 with Porter taking 4 for 18 and falling just one wicket short of another 50-wicket haul for the season.Essex had already confirmed their Division One survival during this final match while Somerset had settled for the no-man’s land of mid-table. Three successive wins in May had even suggested a title challenge that did not materialise.However, with all day to knock off the runs, a modicum of tension was introduced in only the second over. Having put on 277 for the first wicket in the first innings, the opening partnership lasted just seven balls. Elgar departed for a golden duck, rapped conclusively on his front pad by Gregory without getting anywhere near the ball.Westley withstood the rest of a torrid over from Gregory but got off the mark with a characteristic drive through midwicket for four off Craig Overton. He followed that with an emphatic pull through midwicket off Gregory for a second boundary before he, too, fell to the same bowler. After putting on a run-a-ball 28 with Walter, Westley nibbled at one outside off stump and wicketkeeper James Rew dived in front of first slip to claim the catch.Walter had been busy turning twos into threes to the extent that Essex reached fifty from just nine overs when Allison walked down the pitch and smashed Overton through extra over for four.Overton had been relatively expensive, his five overs costing 25, but his replacement Ball struck with his first ball when Walter went for a big heave and paid the price.Allison made sure the target came down quickly and deposited Ball over long leg for six to take Essex within two runs of the target and then repeated the act to complete the victory.

Liam Livingstone has revealed that he has not exchanged “a single word” with England’s management since he was dropped from their white-ball squads in May, and believes his versatility has worked against him in selection.Livingstone, who turned 32 this month, has not played for England in any format since their group-stage exit at the Champions Trophy in March. He has since won the IPL with Royal Challengers Bengaluru – though had a limited role, scoring 112 runs in eight innings – and is the leading run-scorer in the men’s Hundred this season while captaining Birmingham Phoenix.It was only last year that Livingstone captained England in an ODI series in the Caribbean, but he did not feature in the white-ball squads named on Friday to face South Africa and Ireland next month. His central contract is due to expire later this year, and he told talkSPORT’s podcast on Tuesday that he is unclear where his future lies.Related

“Obviously I didn’t have a great series in India and Pakistan and I hold my hands up: I wasn’t good enough out there. But I probably wasn’t the only one,” Livingstone said. “I don’t know where I stand with England, to be honest. The frustrating part for me is I feel like I’ve got my best cricket ahead of me.”He said that a phone call from Brendon McCullum during the IPL telling him he had been dropped from England’s squads to face West Indies in June was his most recent contact with “any of the top four people in charge” – the others being managing director, Rob Key, national selector, Luke Wright, and captain, Harry Brook.”I absolutely love playing for England… Nothing makes me prouder than being able to represent my country. At my age now, I feel like this is where people start to really come into their prime as a batter. You look at Jos [Buttler] over the last few years and I feel like, coming into a [T20] World Cup year, I could really help an England team go a long way to winning a World Cup.”That’s probably the frustrating thing for me: I would love to help. I would love to play for England. I feel like I’m still good enough to play for England. But I haven’t had a single word since halfway through the IPL, so I don’t really know where I stand, to be honest… I probably feel like right now, I’m playing as well as I ever have done in my whole career.”Livingstone struggled during the Champions Trophy•Associated Press

England have primarily used Livingstone as a finisher in both white-ball formats, but he has generally performed better higher up the order: in T20Is, his record is far better at No. 4 than in any other role, while his best ODI innings came from No. 5 last year, when he hit a match-winning 124 not out against West Indies in Antigua.”That’s probably been one of my biggest frustrations,” he said. “Whenever I’ve gone up the order, I’ve actually done really well for England. Maybe my versatility has probably been against me a little bit: being able to come in further down the order and hit sixes from ball one is obviously not something that a lot of people can do.”I feel like I’m a batter that can go on and win games for whoever I’m playing for, not necessarily a slogger down the order that can come in and come off every now and then. I feel like I’ve got more game than that, to be honest. The more responsibility I’ve had in my career, the better I’ve done… Certainly, I feel like I’m thriving on it at the moment with the Phoenix.”Livingstone has been overtaken in the pecking order by two other spin-bowling allrounders in Will Jacks – who was not involved under Buttler’s captaincy earlier this year, but impressed under Brook’s leadership against West Indies in June – and Jacob Bethell, his Phoenix team-mate in the Hundred who will become England’s youngest captain in Ireland next month.

Continuing their search for their next manager, Celtic have already been hit with a problem in pursuit of Club Brugge manager Nicky Hayen, who has impressed the Bhoys during his time in Belgium.

The last thing Celtic need is a managerial saga, but they may have no choice. The Scottish Premiership champions must get their next appointment right and silencing the noise to do exactly that will be key.

That is, of course, easier said than done with several candidates already shortlisted and the likes of Chris Sutton already having their say on the vacant position.

The former Celtic star believes that Ange Postecoglou is the “obvious” choice and it’s easy to see why. The Australian won five trophies out of a possible six during his last spell at the club and is currently a free agent after lasting just 39 days at Nottingham Forest.

There will be some concerns about his recent performances in the dugout, but the Bhoys know more than anyone just how quickly Postecoglou can create success.

Another name on the reported shortlist is Kieran McKenna. The Ipswich manager took the Tractor Boys from League one all the way to the Premier League in back-to-back promotions, before suffering relegation from England’s top flight last season.

Although he has endured a tough year at Portman Road, his reputation remains intact and managerial ability clear for all to see. Whether Celtic would be able to lure him away from Ipswich remains to be seen, however, and that’s a problem they face with another candidate.

Celtic already facing Nicky Hayen problem

According to Sky Sports, Celtic are now tracking Club Brugge manager Nicky Hayen, who held Brendan Rodgers’ side to a 1-1 draw in the Champions League last November.

Celtic have a manager on their radar who could come in as a big upgrade on Brendan Rodgers.

Posts ByDan Emery Oct 29, 2025

The 45-year-old has impressed in Belgium and would have no trouble convincing those at Celtic Park that he’s the right man for the job after smashing Rangers 9-1 on aggregate in the Champions League qualifiers back in August. Alas, there still lies one problem.

Luring Hayen away from Brugge could yet prove to be a difficult task and that instantly hands Celtic an obstacle that they’ll have to overcome if he emerges as their top choice.

Celtic already watched on as Rangers endured managerial chaos and may choose to avoid taking a similar path. If that does prove to be the case, then Hayen could become an unlikely candidate.

It’s clear why Brugge will be so desperate to keep their young manager, too. Speaking to The Guardian in January, the owner of Haverfordwest, Rob Edwards, who worked with Hayen at the Welsh club before he set off for Belgium said: “He’s a workaholic and that rubs off on players, it rubs off on staff and it gets everyone behind you if you lead from the front.

“I always knew he was going to go off somewhere else. We didn’t have him that long, but to see what he’s achieved since then makes us all really proud.”

Apesar de estar na semifinal da Libertadores e disputar as primeiras posições do Brasileirão, o Palmeiras não vem em boa fase. No mês de setembro, por exemplo, o time marcou apenas um gol e venceu apenas um jogo dos últimos seis disputados. Nesse meio tempo, Abel Ferreira, como de costume, roubou a cena em suas entrevistas coletivas. O treinador foi desde “pazes com os microfones”, até comparar a sua avó com um caminhão. Relembre cinco momentos inusitados do português nesse período.

O Verdão conseguiu uma vitória nos acréscimos do jogo diante do Esmeraldino e o autor do gol salvador foi Breno Lopes, que vinha sendo muito criticado pela torcida. Ao balançar a rede, o atacante correu em direção à arquibancada e mostrou o dedo médio para a principal organizada do clube. Na mesma hora, os jogadores correram para segurá-lo. Já depois do jogo, o próprio Abel Ferreira foi acalmar os torcedores, que ficaram revoltados. Na coletiva, em momento apaziguador, o treinador assumiu que ele mesmo é o primeiro a errar.

– O primeiro a cometer erros aqui sou eu, já fui expulso muitas vezes, por muitas vezes não controlei minhas emoções, apesar de que agora estou diferente, bem melhor nesse aspecto – declarou o português.

Antes mesmo do apito final, Abel Ferreira deixou o campo revoltado com a arbitragem e, de cabeça quente, insinuou que o Palmeiras havia sido “roubado”. No entanto, mais calmo na coletiva, ele mudou o discurso e não criticou a atuação do juiz. O destaque entre as respostas para os jornalistas, porém, foi a revelação sobre as pazes que ele fez com os microfones da beira do campo, que já foram alvos da ira do técnico. Ele ainda solicitou à CBF que pare de deixar um cameraman focado somente em suas ações.

– Eu quero fazer um pedido para tirar um cameraman de trás, não sei se a visão é boa, mas tem sempre um ao meu lado, se puderem tirar. Acho que o microfones já me dou bem com ele, já fizemos as pazes. Agora, se vocês me fizeram o favor de tirar o cameraman… Lá em Portugal nós chamamos de emplastro, tem sempre um cara aqui ao meu lado, para o ver o que eu faço, ouvir o que eu falo…

وقال هاني سعيد في تصريحات على قناة “أون سبورت”: “لم أطلب تأجيل مباريات، ولكن الأزمة تكمن في وجود مباريات لبيراميدز في إفريقيا وإنتركونتننتال وفي نفس الوقت يكون لدينا مباراة في الدوري في نفس التوقيت، (طب أنا أعمل إيه؟)”.

وأضاف: “لم أطلب التأجيل ولا مرة، ولكن طبيعي عندما يكون هناك تعارض في المواعيد، المباراة يتم تأجيلها تلقائيًا”.

وتابع: “الموسم الماضي طلبت تأجيل مباراة، ولم يحدث، رغم أن أي نادٍ في مصر لو كان في نفس الموقف كان سيتم تأجيل المباراة بشكل طبيعي”.

وأردف: “كنا نلعب بين مباراتين مهمتين جدًا في دوري أبطال إفريقيا ضد صن داونز، ووضعوا لنا مباراة سيراميكا، ولعبنا أمام صن داونز، وبعدها أمام سيراميكا، وبعدها بثلاثة أيام عدنا لمواجهة صن داونز”.

وشدد: “سافرنا جنوب إفريقيا، وعدنا بعدها بيومين للعب في الدوري، وهذا ضغط غير طبيعي، كان من المفترض أن يتم تأجيل المباراة وهذا منطقي، لأننا نمثل مصر في بطولة قارية، وهذا الطبيعي في أي مكان في العالم”.

واكمل: “أما فكرة أن اللائحة تقول طالما يوجد 3 أيام بين كل مباراة والتانية (يبقى تلعب)، فهي لائحة معروفة منذ زمن، لكن تطبيقها يتم (بالمزاج)، (بمعنى لو الموقف ده كان مع نادٍ تاني، كانوا بصوا في الموضوع واتأجلت المباراة فورًا)”.
