Euro 2020: Knockout games bring the best out of France – Hugo Lloris
A depleted France will draw motivation from the threat of elimination as they prepare to face Switzerland in their European Championship last-16 match, captain Hugo Lloris said on Sunday. World champions France topped Group F with one win and two draws ahead of Portugal and Germany but key players in their backline have picked up injuries to give coach Didier Deschamps a selection headache on Monday. While Ousmane Dembele and Marcus Thuram are unavailable, Deschamps confirmed full backs Jules Kounde and Lucas Digne are also ruled out against the Swiss. Left back Lucas Hernandez, who injured his knee, has a chance to feature. Speaking at a news conference, goalkeeper Lloris said France – who finished runners-up in 2016 – were accustomed to do-or-die situations and thrived under pressure. “W...
Euro 2020: Swiss coach confident of last-16 spot despite tough travel
Switzerland coach Vladimir Petkovic is confident his side have done enough to reach the last 16 at Euro 2020 after a 3-1 win over Turkey on Sunday but he criticised the long distances his side have had to travel during the tournament. Xherdan Shaqiri scored two superb goals as Switzerland secured third place in Group A at Euro 2020 with the win against Turkey, but they now face an anxious wait to see if they will reach the last 16. The Swiss, who finished level on four points with Wales but behind on goal difference, will hope to secure a spot in the knockouts as one of the four best third-placed finishers from the six groups. “We scored a few goals but unfortunately we had more chances we didn’t convert,” Petkovic said. “It wasn’t a perfect game but it was a good game.” “It should be enou...
‘Playing like Messi’: Some Liverpool fans drool over ‘quality’ 29-year-old’s latest display
Switzerland began their World Cup qualifying campaign with a comfortable win on Thursday, with Liverpool winger Xherdan Shaqiri impressing against Bulgaria.

He has managed only 18 appearances this season, but he is a regular starter for his country. Shaqiri produced a fantastic creative display as he made his 87th appearance for Switzerland on Thursday.

Liverpool players react to Premier League win vs West Ham on Twitter
Liverpool go top of the Premier League table with a hard-earned 2-1 victory against West Ham United on Saturday at Anfield. The Reds came from behind to seal all three points, with summer signing Diogo Jota scoring for the third straight game. The Hammers – who were undefeated in their last four Premier League games prior to their visit to Anfield – took an early lead through Spanish midfielder Pablo Fornals, taking full advantage of a poor headed clearance by Joe Gomez. Liverpool restored parity shortly before the break. Arthur Masuaku committed a foul on Mohamed Salah (which David Moyes interpreted as a dive from the Egyptian after the match) that allowed the Reds talisman to equalise from the penalty spot. With five minutes remaining from the normal time, Jota found the n...
‘Wow, absolutely criminal’: Some Liverpool fans react after hearing latest transfer update
Liverpool bowed out of the Carabao Cup yesterday after losing to Arsenal on penalties at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp’s side created some very good chances during the game but it stayed 0-0 after 90 minutes. In the penalty shoot out, Arsenal edged Liverpool 5-4 to progress to the fourth round of the competition. Many Liverpool fans were left bemused that Klopp didn’t include Xherdan Shaqiri in the line-up, as many had expected him to feature. The Reds boss said after the match that he was fit and there was no disciplinary issue either, which fuelled the speculation that he could leave the club. According to Neil Jones of Goal.com, the Swiss attacking midfielder was omitted due to transfer interest from at least two clubs. As a result, Liverpool didn’t want to take any risks with him. M...
