Broncos-Chiefs will be the Monday night game in Week 1

The first Monday Night Football game of the season will feature a matchup of the last two AFC West champions. tbzikra.org

The NFL announced on Tuesday that the Broncos and Chiefs will meet to cap off the Week 1 schedule. The location of the game is still being finalized and is expected to be announced along with the rest of the schedule on Thursday.

Denver broke the Chiefs' long run of division titles last season and the game will likely feature the return to action of Broncos quarterback Bo Nix after he broke his ankle in the divisional round of the playoffs. It could also see Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes play his first game since tearing his ACL last December, but we'll have to be much closer to the game to know if that will be the case.

The Chiefs are also the fifth of the Seahawks' potential Week 1 opponents — the 49ers, Rams, Giants and Cowboys are the others — to have their opening game revealed, which leaves the Cardinals, Chargers, Bears and Patriots as the remaining options for the first game of the 2026 NFL season.

I wrote a book about the last 40 years of US men’s soccer. Here is what I learned | Leander Schaerlaeckens

The US men’s national team have high expectations at the 2026 World Cup. To me, that signals miraculous progress

The mere notion that the United States men’s national team will enter this World Cup with a plausible chance of going on a deep run into the knockout stages represents something of a sporting miracle.

Consider that after the USMNT placed third at the 1930 World Cup – as one of just 13 countries to turn up, mind you – they were almost totally absent from the global stage for six decades. They kicked around the 1934 edition of the tournament just long enough to get smashed 7-1 by the hosts Italy in the first round. And they were there in 1950, stunning England 1-0 in the group stage, an all-time upset wedged around 3-1 and 5-2 losses to Spain and Chile, respectively.

Leander Schaerlaeckens’ book on the United States men’s national soccer team, The Long Game, is out on Tuesday. You can buy it here. He teaches at Marist University.

Preguntan a Pedro Sánchez por la bandera palestina de Lamine

Lamine Yamal, la gran estrella del FC Barcelona, ondeó una bandera palestina durante la rúa de celebración por el triunfo del equipo azulgrana en la Liga. La imagen portando la citada enseña del futbolista azulgrana, a su vez principal figura de la selección española, motivó una pregunta directa al Presidente del Gobierno, Pedro Sánchez, durante una comparecencia pública conjunta con el secretario general de la OMS, Tedros Adhanom. Sánchez contestó genéricamente sobre un posicionamiento ya conocido del Gobierno que representa.

History makers Brighton are shaking up old order and not hiding ambition

Seagulls are in their first Women’s FA Cup final but their coach, Dario Vidosic, is determined to keep aiming higher

As Brighton’s old song goes, “Hark to the merry bugles”, because there is something in the air in Sussex by the sea. A purpose-built women’s team stadium is in the offing, a second consecutive top-half Women’s Super League finish is on the cards and the women’s side are heading to Wembley for the first time. The fans have never had it this good.

It took something special for Brighton to overturn a two-goal deficit in Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final victory at Liverpool and they left it late – very late – as Nadine Noordam settled a classic, five-goal thriller with her 95th-minute winner, but reaching this final is something the club have been building towards. In 2022, Brighton set out a bold vision to become a “top-four WSL club” and last summer the head coach, Dario Vidosic, was unafraid to discuss even higher targets, speaking in a determined, bullish and unwaveringly ambitious tone during an interview with the Guardian.
