Kylian Mbappe winning the Ballon d’Or won’t actually mean anything (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This year’s Ballon d’Or promises to be the most fiercely contested in almost 50 years. Kylian Mbappe, Harry Kane, Ousmane Dembele and Lamine Yamal are all vying to be crowned the world’s best player next month with the contest set to make history no matter what happens. The award last saw such a close run-off in 1977, when Allan Simonsen, Kevin Keegan and Michel Platini fought it out for the accolade where just four points separated the final podium. Campaigning has rarely played any part in the
Germany’s Jurgen Klopp dream could be over before it begins but luckless Liverpool man will hope otherwise (opens the original)
Read excerpt
International football’s expanded first break of the season has a box office opening. Jurgen Klopp’s appointment as Germany head coach was almost two decades in the making but took a catastrophic World Cup exit to Paraguay this summer to finally deliver alignment.

Just two games in, Premier League referees are already facing an uphill battle this season. Controversial incidents in the English top flight remained minimal during the new campaign’s opening fortnight, but officials find themselves back under the spotlight of scrutiny through no real fault of their own after Mike Dean’s supposed revelations. In a series of outlandish claims on Jamie Vardy’s ‘Having A Party’ podcast, Dean declared he would ‘joke about’ on refereeing duties in the Premier League
Liverpool’s Scouse identity is at risk after Curtis Jones exit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Liverpool’s marketing department once coined a phrase that split opinion among fans. Depending on which side of the fence Liverpool supporters sat, ‘This Means More’ was either an anglicised take on Barcelona’s 'Mes Que Un Club' – "more than a club" – ethos or a cheap strapline to hook in potential customers yearning for a sense of belonging. But for Jurgen Klopp, something really did mean more during his time at Anfield. As his already depleted charges clung on for dear life against Chelsea’s f
