Sometimes though, football is a more romantic sport than people give it credit for, and while there are definitely plenty of mercenary players out there, others remain loyal to the same club throughout their careers – while others might return to their old stomping grounds, often when their time in the game is coming to an end. Here are 5 superstars who made a triumphant return to their boyhood clubs....
Both countries have similar overhead conditions, weather and pitches, which makes it possible for bowlers from both countries to thrive in each other’s backyard. As one would expect, fast bowlers have been at the forefront in the wicket-taking stakes whenever these two teams clashed and it is not a surprise that all top 5 wicket takers are fast bowlers. #5 Stuart Broad The England fast bowler has been one of the pillars of his country’s Test match bowling attack for more than a decade and Stuart Broad has been particularly successful in Tests against New Zealand....
And things only stand to become more exciting as the big day approaches I think. This was the real fallout episode of NXT TakeOver in Toronto and because of the events that actually happened during the show, I’d have to say that it was a noteworthy episode. Of course, stars from RAW and SmackDown Live are expected to show up on NXT when it moves to the USA Network but for now, there’s a locker room bursting with talent, hoping to prove their worth under the bright lights....
“The Princess of Staten Island” cashed in her Money In The Bank contract to win the title from “The Queen” on SmackDown Live in April, though the victory probably wouldn’t have been possible had it not been for an attack minutes earlier from The IIconics (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce). The Australian duo teamed up with Carmella in a losing effort against Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Asuka in the main event of SmackDown this week, opening up the possibility that they could be at ringside for Sunday’s match....

Interestingly, the Raw Tag Team Champions didn’t feature on the card last month and have instead been able to extend their feud with Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas collectively known as The B Team, for another month. Ever since their split from The Miz, The B Team have been on quite a roll and are still currently undefeated. Bigger shocks have happened in WWE over the years, which means that Dallas and Axel have just as much of a chance of winning the titles at this point as Hardy and Wyatt have of retaining....

That means that all kinds of surprises could happen on the show. We’ve already seen a few this year – who would ever have expected Henry Cejudo to dethrone Demetrious Johnson at UFC 227? Or for Brock Lesnar to crash the Octagon at UFC 226? Pretty much, nobody, that’s who. Here then are 5 potential surprises we could see at UFC 226. #1: The main event could end quickly Due to the way that the UFC mythologizes its major stars in their pre-fight hype packages and countdown shows, it’s very easy for fans to fall into the trap of expecting a back-and-forth war for the ages in each and every big main event....

The reason could be attributed to the fact that they have constantly chopped and changed the players over the years. This time around they have released their former skipper Gautam Gambhir, Jason Roy, Junior Dala, Liam Plunkett, Mohammed Shami, Sayan Ghosh, Daniel Christian, Glenn Maxwell, Gurkeerat Singh Mann, and Naman Ojha ahead of the auctions.

They have stuttered in recent weeks, picking up only two points from the last nine available in the league. Injuries to Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez are likely to rule both players out for the remainder of the season. That has meant Joel Matip is the only recognised senior centre-back available to Klopp. However, even his injury worries have meant that the Liverpool manager has had barely any options to choose from....
Having been unable to mount a serious title challenge since the 2012/13 season, both manager and club are on the lookout for new additions to help change United’s fortunes. With manager Jose Mourinho visibly dissatisfied with his squad, here are five players who could add some serious firepower to the United ranks. #5 - Jorginho Much of United’s tepid and slow build-up play has been due to a lack of a deep-lying playmaker, which could be addressed by Jorginho....
Despite producing some impressive performances, Thomas Tuchel’s relationship with PSG director Leonardo soured, and eventually the German faced the sack. PSG moved quickly to appoint Mauricio Pochettino as their new manager, who is now expected to bring more success to the Parisian club. Pochettino may not have a trophy-laden resume, but he is generally regarded as one of the most promising managers. At PSG, he will have more funds to sign some of the best players,unlike at his previous clubs, so that could make a massive difference....
Messi, Xavi, Pique, Iniesta, Puyol and many more– the academy has gifted the football world with some of the best we have seen and we can never thank it enough. But even though La Blaugrana have created legends, the club has also witnessed some ships being wrecked at the Nou Camp. Not every player or youngster has made it to the first team due to the world-class talent that Barca have had at their disposal in the recent years....
This has resulted in players leaving the club more often than not. In the 2021 summer transfer window, their superstar player Harry Kane wanted an exit for the very same reason. Tottenham Hotspur have struggled to keep their star players at the club It is understandable how Spurs were not able to stop the likes of Gareth Bale, Luka Modric, Dimitar Berbatov, Kyle Walker and many others from leaving. These players had been in terrific form and a number of European giants were after their signature....
During his tenure at the club, Wenger has led them to three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups titles. He also built the famous Invincibles side which has won the league title in 2003/04 without losing a single game. One major silverware that eluded Wenger was the UEFA Champions League. Arsenal lost to Barcelona in 2006 final, which turned out to be the only Champions League final for Arsene Wenger....

However, there were also a number of players who made amazing and unexpected comebacks this season. Here’s a list of five players who’ve had brilliant comebacks this season. #5 Elena Vesnina The 30-year old Russian has made quite a name for herself in the doubles circuit where she has won three Grand Slams (two in Women’s doubles and one in Mixed Doubles) and has made at least the semifinals of all four majors....
Camp Nou has been home to some of the best players and managers in the footballing world, and the club is known for cultivating talent through the famed La Masia academy. While most players are keen on donning the colors of the historic club, some have found the opportunity not so appealing. Today, we take a look at the five players who rejected moves to Barcelona. #5 David Luiz Prior to David Luiz’s bumper €50 million move to PSG in the 2014 summer transfer window, he was the subject of keen interest from Barcelona....
Truth to be told, World Cup is perhaps the only football competition where we have seen an underdog take away the trophy. But, we cannot deny the fact that there are few teams who made it grand without much expectation. For example, the 1982 World Cup, where everyone believed that Brazil would win the cup. However, it was Italy who beat Brazil and bagged the trophy. Another example is the World Cup 1994, where the Brazil team seemed unsure at the beginning....
