Coventry conned me into believing they’d survive.. they’ll go down for not signing some big, ugly b******s in summer

Kimi Antonelli hailed by former F1 star as Italian tipped to become 'future champion'

Kimi Antonelli has been hailed by former Formula One star Marc Surer and tipped to become a "future champion". The Italian sits 81 points clear at the top of the Drivers' Championship heading into the Azerbaijan Grand Prix after victory in Spain. In only his second season of Formula One, the 20-year-old has picked up eight wins and been on the podium a dozen times. Surer, speaking exclusively to GB News through OLBG , feels the Italian will win the Drivers' Championship this season. TRENDING Stories Videos Your Say He said: "I think when we see a coming champion, then it's exactly like him. He comes, and he does the right thing. "This year we had some races where he could not win, and he still did do a good job. And this impressed me most about this young guy, because even the old ones make more mistakes or try something and lose it. "He accepts if he cannot win; he doesn't do crazy things. And for that, I think he is a future champion. "Not only this year, but he will also be a future champion because he has this mentality, which you need to be a champion." LATEST SPORTS NEWS England announce squad for Nations League matches as Thomas Tuchel makes bold decisions Premier League star gives huge donation to family of Noah Woods after death of three-year-old Michael Carrick insists it is 'not the end of the world' for Manchester United's poor start Antonelli has been heavily praised by those who work with him and his competitors. Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff has heavily credited his young driver, describing him as "cool as a cucumber". Wolff said: "When he brushes the wall five laps from the end and comes on the radio 'check the car,' you're like: 'Really, again, white lines, walls,' but maybe that's how he keeps himself in the zone. "Almost his youth helps him a lot because he's 20. He could stay in this sport for 20 years with so many opportunities. He's so above all of our expectations and his own. He's just going with the flow. "I think there is also a genetic factor. You are born cool as a cucumber, or you're not." Ferrari driver and seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton believes that "there's no stopping" the Italian this year. The Briton told Sky Sports: "I think there's no stopping him and Mercedes this year. "They've done a phenomenal job, and they deserve it." Antonelli is trying not to look ahead and is only focusing on the next Grand Prix in front of him and letting the points do the talking. He said: "I want to keep pushing race by race, keep delivering and keep enjoying it all the way and try to do my best every race, and we will see where we end up at the end of the year."

Thomas Tuchel blames 'English DNA' for World Cup failure

Thomas Tuchel has blamed English football's DNA for the nation's failure to win the World Cup. The Three Lions were knocked out by Argentina after taking the lead in the semi-final but inviting too much pressure, and lost 2-1. The German came under heavy criticism for England's tactics, but felt it was not in the team's DNA, like other nations, to control the game. After naming his squad for the Nations League , Tuchel said English players struggled to dictate fixtures and dominate possession. TRENDING Stories Videos Your Say He said: "I'm just wrestling with myself because even if you control matches in the Premier League, how many English players are there in these teams that really try to control matches? "Is this in our DNA? Do we really value control? Is this something that makes us feel good in a match? Is this something that comes easy to us? "Do we even realise: 'Oh, we're controlling a midfield, everything is fine?' Or do we go like: 'Yeah, but we're stuck in midfield we should go, we should attack?' "This is also something I'm still mixed [about] because I saw training sessions on the very highest level of my career. LATEST SPORTS NEWS England announce squad for Nations League matches as Thomas Tuchel makes bold decisions Premier League star gives huge donation to family of Noah Woods after death of three-year-old Michael Carrick insists it is 'not the end of the world' for Manchester United's poor start "But I see training sessions with a lot of speed, with a lot of ball speed, with a lot of physicality, with a lot of dribbling. "So, it makes me just struggle, how and when, because we're talking about the highest-pressure moments. "We talk about semi-final against Argentina, 80 per cent of the stadium is Argentinian, so now can you please become Spain for 15 minutes?" Tuchel went through a fierce back-and-forth with reporters about his approach to the semi-final. Taking a deep breath, the German said: "I should be coaching them to keep the ball? That's my job. "I'm not sure that I have the time to coach them to [keep the ball]." England play four games in the upcoming extended international break, facing Spain next Saturday before facing Czechia on September 29. The Three Lions will then lock horns with Croatia on October 3 before concluding the international break at home to Czechia three days later. Tuchel has now named his 27-man squad for the matches, with the England boss making a series of bold calls. Goalkeepers : Jordan Pickford, Jason Steele, James Trafford Defenders : Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jarrad Branthwaite, Trevoh Chalobah, Marc Guehi, Lewis Hall, Ezri Konsa, Tino Livramento, Nico O'Reilly, Jarell Quansah Midfielders : Elliot Anderson, Jude Bellingham, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Kobbie Mainoo, Cole Palmer, Declan Rice, Alex Scott Forwards : Harry Kane, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Eberechi Eze, Anthony Gordon, Rio Ngumoha, Marcus Rashford, Morgan Rogers, Bukayo Saka Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter

Uefa and Concacaf demand Fifa fork out £1.5billion to its member associations

Uefa and Concacaf have demanded Fifa fork out £1.5billion to its 211 member nations over the next three years from the organisation's reserves. Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin and his Concacaf counterpart, Victor Montagliani, jointly wrote to Fifa president Gianni Infantino to make the request. The two confederation leaders described this figure as a "conservative" assessment of what world football's governing body could comfortably afford, based on their own analysis. Fifa's reserves are projected to hit $6bn (£4.5bn) by the close of 2026. TRENDING Stories Videos Your Say The demands come against the backdrop of a deepening rift between Infantino and key confederations over his now-shelved plan to bring private investment into Fifa's competition operations. According to Ceferin and Montagliani, even if Fifa distributed $10m (£7.5m) to each member nation, the organisation's reserves would not fall below $1.5bn (£1.1bn) at any point during the 2027-30 financial cycle. They urged once a fuller picture of Fifa's year-end finances becomes available, the Fifa Council should assess whether a more generous payout is feasible and whether a similar distribution might follow in the 2031-34 period. The two presidents insisted any such payments must come on top of existing commitments under the Fifa Forward development programme, rather than replacing them. LATEST SPORTS NEWS England announce squad for Nations League matches as Thomas Tuchel makes bold decisions Michael Carrick insists it is 'not the end of the world' for Manchester United's poor start Premier League star gives huge donation to family of Noah Woods after death of three-year-old They proposed their confederations work together to finalise the analysis and bring formal recommendations on how funds should be disbursed to the next Fifa Council meeting through proper governance channels. In their letter, the confederation presidents made clear football development should be treated as a core institutional obligation of Fifa rather than something left to the discretion of any single individual. They wrote: "Releasing part of these reserves would demonstrate that member associations should not have to choose between development and good governance; between investment and integrity; or between financial support and the ability to consider proposals on their merits. "Development is an institutional responsibility of Fifa not a matter of individual discretion." The demand follows the collapse of Infantino's controversial proposal to establish the Fifa Forward Enterprise plan, a privately funded company that would have managed Fifa's tournaments, including the World Cup. The scheme was dropped on August 1 after opposition from Uefa, Concacaf and the Asian Football Confederation proved insurmountable. Despite the plan's withdrawal, Uefa has made clear it no longer has confidence in Infantino and intends to put forward a rival candidate for next year's presidential election. On August 27, Uefa demanded an independent inquiry into how the private investment proposal was assembled. FA chair and Fifa vice-president Debbie Hewitt made a comparable call on Infantino this week in her role on the Fifa Council. Uefa has additionally pursued legal action through the American courts seeking disclosure of documents connected to the scheme, though Fifa has secured the right to contest those applications. GB News has contacted Fifa for comment. Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
