Author | Ajay Rick Astley drew one of the biggest crowds of the weekend at Tramlines and delivered a hugely entertaining set. Opening with “Together, Forever” in a dusty pink suit, he immediately turned the festival into a party before surprising fans by taking to the drums during a brilliant cover of RAYE’s “Where The Hell Is My Husband”. The highlight, inevitably, was “Never Going To Give You Up”, which prompted a huge Sheffield rickroll. Astley’s energy, warmth and obvious enjoyment of the performance made it a standout set and one well worth catching live. Stockport five-piece Blossoms arrived at Tramlines following a busy period that has included announcing their next album, “Songs From The Wedding Cake”, releasing “Jokes About Divorce” and appearing at several festivals. They opened their set with “Gary” to a huge reaction, with the stage bath...

Argentina stage remarkable comeback to crush Egypt dreams and reach quarter-finals The holders survived another huge scare before breaking Egypt's hearts and booking their place in the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup. Author | Ajay  Stadium | Atlanta Stadium The reigning world champions, who needed extra time to overcome Cape Verde in the previous round, looked destined for a shock exit as the Pharaohs raced into a 2-0 lead through Yasser Ibrahim and Mostafa Zico. Cristian Romero pulled one back with 11 minutes remaining before Lionel Messi, who had missed a first-half penalty in Atlanta, levelled five minutes later to set up a dramatic finale. Enzo Fernandez completed the turnaround two minutes into stoppage time, heading in Lautaro Martinez's cross to seal a quarter-final against Colombia or Switzerland.

Youri Tielemans converted a penalty deep into extra time as Belgium staged a remarkable fightback  They recovered from two goals down to beat Senegal in a dramatic World Cup last-32 tie. Author | Ajay Stadium | Seattle Stadium The last-gasp victory secured a place in the last 16, where they will face either the United States or Bosnia-Herzegovina. Rudi Garcia's side appeared destined for elimination as they trailed an impressive Senegal by two goals with only four minutes of normal time remaining. However, half-time substitute Romelu Lukaku flicked home Thomas Meunier's cross to offer Belgium a route back into the contest. They seized that opportunity in the 89th minute when Leandro Trossard's cross into the area was missed by goalkeeper Mory Diaw, allowing captain Tielemans to head home the equaliser and force extra time.

The United States are guaranteed to finish top of their World Cup group They beat Australia with a dominant, high-tempo display in front of a boisterous sell-out crowd in Seattle. Author | Ajay Stadium | Seattle Stadium The US secured a place in the last 32 with back-to-back World Cup victories for the first time since 1930, and were later confirmed as group winners after Turkey lost to Paraguay. The tournament co-hosts were without talisman Christian Pulisic because of a calf injury, but they subjected Australia to relentless pressure in the first half, which brought two goals. Closer analysis of what happened Australia defender Cameron Burgess inadvertently turned the ball into his own net in the 11th minute after US striker Folarin Balogun raced to the byline and squared across the face of goal. Mauricio Pochettino's side doubled their lead minutes before half-time when Alex Freeman reacted quickest to a deflected Sergino Dest effort and headed past Australia goalkeeper Patrick ...

A first point for both Czech Republic and South Africa at the World Cup. Teboho Mokoena's penalty cancelled out Michal Sadilek's early goal for the Czechs. Author | Ajay  Stadium | Atlanta Stadium South Africa trailed after five minutes and seven seconds when Michal Sadilek latched onto a clever lay-off and rifled home the earliest goal of the tournament so far. The Bafana Bafana, who also conceded early against Mexico in their tournament opener, eventually settled into the game, but they struggled to create chances and only managed their first shot on target in the 74th minute. But their fortunes finally changed as Thapelo Maseko's shot thundered into Pavel Sulc's arm in the Czech box with less than 10 minutes of normal time remaining. Mokoena made no mistake with the finish, slotting into the left corner. Both sides then fought to determine a winner, but neither could. This means they’ll have to beat the group favourites in order to get out of the group and reach the ...

South Korea came from behind to beat the Czech Republic in their World Cup opener Substitute Oh Hyeon-gyu scoring the winner 10 minutes from time. Author | Ajay  Stadium | Estadio Guadalajara Son Heung-min and his team-mates dominated much of the contest against a Czech side that failed to register a shot on target until the 59th minute. Their captain, Ladislav Krejci, broke the deadlock when he rose highest to head in a long throw from Vladimir Coufal. Former Tottenham forward Son, captaining his country, was at the heart of South Korea's attacking play. He accounted for five of their eight first-half attempts, although his best opportunity was denied by goalkeeper Matej Kovar. South Korea responded swiftly  They were level just eight minutes later through Feyenoord midfielder Hwang In-beom. Picked out inside the area by the impressive Lee Kang-in, Hwang wrong-footed Kovar, who had rushed from his line, with a clever dummy before delicately lifting the ball into the empt...

We asked some of our readers two simple questions... Who's going to win the World Cup and why? Author | Ajay Gaz France, although there is a caveat. It depends on whether they can avoid any dressing-room tensions. The quality they have in attacking areas means two or three major players will miss out in every game, so it comes down to how they handle that situation. Jeff It's difficult to look beyond France given the attacking talent at their disposal, especially when you consider the impact of extra time in hot conditions against tiring opponents. Players such as Rayan Cherki, Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue cannot all start, but they can be match-winners when introduced after 70 minutes in 30-degree heat. Olise could also be a key player for them. Is Olise going to shine at this summer's World Cup? supernewsaffiliate.blogspot.com/2026/06/worl...

A match that could be useful preparation for the upcoming World Cup. Mexico faces Japan on Sunday in their first match since winning the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Author | Ajay Stadium | Oakland Coliseum With both sides already assured of a place at the 2026 World Cup, the meeting offers a valuable test and a chance to sharpen preparations for the tournament. It has been a successful period for Mexico In the summer, they became the most successful nation in Gold Cup history. Javier Aguirre’s men went unbeaten through the tournament, opening with a 3-2 win over the Dominican Republic, followed by a 2-0 victory against Suriname and a goalless draw with Costa Rica in the group stage. They went on to beat Saudi Arabia 2-0 in the quarter-finals, Honduras 1-0 in the semi-finals and then sealed the crown in the final by beating the hosts United States. That success came just months after their CONCACAF Nations League victory in March, where they defeated Panama 2-1.  READ MORE |  Spor...

India (224 & 396) beat England  (247& 367) by six runs England fell agonisingly short of a record-breaking run chase as India claimed a six-run victory in one of the most breathtaking climaxes to a Test match in living memory. Author | Ajay Stadium | Oval With 17 runs still needed to reach a target of 374, Chris Woakes emerged from the dressing room with his arm in a sling to support last man Gus Atkinson in front of a raucous Oval crowd. Woakes, met by a roar worthy of a century, took his place at the non-striker’s end as Atkinson tried to haul England to a famous win. As tension reached unbearable levels, the pair scrapped for every run in the face of deafening Indian support. Atkinson cleared Mohammed Siraj for six before Woakes scampered a bye to keeper Dhruv Jurel , who missed the stumps in a frantic effort to retain strike. India held their nerve.  Prasidh Krishna ’s over allowed Woakes to steal a couple of crucial runs and another single to hand Atkinson ...

Oasis are well and truly back on top. Sunday 20th July, saw them performing for the final night at Heaton Park, and what could still be the very last time in Manchester. Author | Ajay Every night, there had been countless moments that highlighted how uniting this cultural phenomenon was. There had been so many memorable moments! The man in the wheelchair hoisted high above the crowd by a group of strangers for a better view.  The couple who got engaged moments before being swept into a sea of bucket hats.  The nightly crowds gathering on ‘ Gallagher Hill ’, drawn by the pull of something historic in the air. People singing Champagne Supernova outside the park and in The Ostrich Pub beer garden. Lots of celebrity spotting. Jack Grealish , Shaun Ryder and Andy Whyment off Corrie in the same frame of a video. Who can forget Orlando Bloom waving at fans. For many, the Oasis reunion has felt like Christmas morning ever since it was announced last year. That sense of anti...
