Club World Cup 'devaluing' football
The Club World Cup is devaluing football because players cannot perform properly, according to Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Maheta Molango. High temperatures have impacted players, while low crowds have also been a factor in Fifa's extended competition in to be substituted during their 1-0 defeat by Real Madrid, with their last-16 game in Miami on Tuesday played in temperatures reaching 30C and humidity of 70%.Borussia Dortmund's substitutes also spent the first half of their game against Mamelodi Sundowns last month watching from the dressing room because of the heat. Six matches have had to be suspended because of thunderstorms, including a two-hour delay in Chelsea's last-16 win over means, less than a year before the start of the World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico, Molango is worried by how the competition is impacting the players and the sport."We're devaluing the product and it's a shame because if I'm a US fan and that's my first exposure to soccer, that's not good," he said."We need to be mindful we're competing with other sports and they're very good at entertainment. Then it becomes a very poor comparison."We've reached a stage where the quality is dropping, because there's no way you can have a good game if you play at 4pm in Mexico. "It's impossible, because the players themselves say to you 'I cannot. I need to manage my efforts" - which would mean what you see on the pitch is not good, the audiences drop, it's as simple as that. This is all about money."My hope is that people now, even from a pure business perspective, will see that it does not make sense."Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp called the competition "the worst idea ever implemented in football", and days before the tournament, global players' union Fifpro released a report saying players should be allowed at least a four-week off-season break."It's this feeling of accumulation of competitions that just do not talk to each other and create a calendar that is just nonsensical," added Molango. "Let's see what happens in October, November [to players] - that's when you're going to start seeing because you pay the price. This Club World Cup gives us a chance to start looking at the bigger picture." Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola understood Klopp's position, but felt competing in the Club World Cup was the price of success. "Would I love to have two months to prepare for next season? Yes. Would I love to be refreshed for next season? Yes. But it is what it is," he said, before City were knocked out by Al Hilal on Tuesday. Legal action against Fifa continues Fifa has also defended itself with senior sources from the governing body telling BBC Sport last month the protection of player welfare has been at the core of decision-making, pointing to initiatives such as additional substitutes and permanent concussion the competition has contributed to further congestion in the fixture calendar were firmly dismissed, with a source saying it was "not caused by the Club World Cup".It was pointed out a maximum of seven Club World Cup games will be played by two teams every four years, with the slot for the competition replacing the one previously used for the Fifa Confederations extended competition was a main trigger for a joint legal action last year by the PFA, along with the French and Italian players' unions, against Fifa over the "overloaded and unworkable" football calendar. A hearing on that is likely to be held early next year. It came before the top European leagues and players' union Fifpro filed a legal complaint against Fifa with the European Commission over what it claims is an "abuse of dominance" by world football's governing body."This is much more of a political one. It's fair to say we are pretty confident the Commission will show an interest in probably taking the case, which is unusual," Molango added."Quite a few kind of sports cases are brought in front of the Commission and normally they don't get involved in those type of cases. In this instance, based on what we've seen so far, we're pretty confident."

Chelsea is for 'winners only'
Defender Levi Colwill says Chelsea should be a club for "winners only" and says he has been dissatisfied with his own performances. The 22-year-old is already regarded as one of the leaders at Stamford Bridge by manager Enzo Maresca and his peers in the dressing room. Colwill has started all but one of Chelsea's Club World Cup matches, and was clear when asked whether they could win the tournament before their quarter-final against Palmeiras on Friday in Philadelphia."Yeah, why not?" before adding: "We all know how big this club is and how the culture of the club has always been to win. We're just trying to reinforce that to the young boys, to the boys coming in, that this club is for winners only. "That's what we all need to do and strive towards."Despite being a regular starter for Chelsea, Colwill said he struggled in the 2024-25 season. Asked what he needs to improve, he replied: "There's a lot I would say. We could be here for ages, to be honest. "I know I am nowhere near where I would like to be in the future. There are so many areas of my game that aren't good enough. "I think I've seen that this season. Of course, defending one v one has been tough this season and just being on the ball. I'm good at times when I'm trying to make passes and there are other times where I've been a bit lazy and you can tell. "If you want to be the best and strive for the best things possible, you've got to be hard on yourself."Not a Chelsea fan? Find and follow your clubColwill also revealed he has struggled when on England duty but has followed the advice of a staff member to read the book Atomic Habits by James Clear to help him cope with different environments. Having been in all but one of England's squads over the past 12 months, Colwill hopes to add to his single appearance under Thomas Tuchel, a defeat against Senegal last month, to ensure he is well placed to make the World Cup next summer. "Of course it is going to be a huge season for me," he said. "Chelsea are back in the Champions League, we've got the Premier League where we want to push on and do better than we did this season. "Looking at the end of the season with the World Cup, it will be a big aim to be there."

UPenn finds ‘shameful' loophole to still celebrate trans swimmer Lia Thomas
The University of Pennsylvania have made use of a loophole in order to celebrate Lia Thomas ' records, despite seemingly bowing to Donald Trump 's Department of Education (DOE) by agreeing to resolve alleged Title IX violations. The DOE announced Tuesday that Penn is adopting strict definitions for male and female competitors under White House guidelines, adding that the school will ban trans athletes from women's competitions and erase Thomas from the school's record books. Furthermore, swimmers impacted by Thomas' inclusion in women's NCAA competitions will receive a personal apology from Penn and be retroactively awarded records and titles. However, despite wiping Thomas from the official record books, a special note appeared at the bottom of the web page for UPenn's women's swimming team. It read: 'NOTE: Competing under eligibility rules in effect at the time, Lia Thomas set program records in the 100, 200 and 500 freestyle during the 2021-22 season'. On her individual profile, UPenn recognize that Thomas was 'part of Penn's 400 free relay that set a program record at the Ivy Championships'. Penn's record books now make mention Lia Thomas in an end note at the bottom of a page Thomas won a national title as a woman in the 500 free while tying for fifth in the 200 free at the 2022 NCAA Finals with Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines, who has since become the face of the movement to ban trans athletes from female sports. The NCAA previously allowed each sports to govern transgender inclusion, generally deferring to national governing bodies or International Olympic criteria. The fate of Thomas' NCAA is now in question. The Ivy League institution's decision to wipe Thomas from the record books came after the Trump administration suspended $175 million in federal funding to Penn. 'Penn remains committed to fostering a community that is welcoming, inclusive, and open to all students, faculty, and staff,' University of Pennsylvania president J. Larry Jameson said in a statement. 'I share this commitment, just as I remain dedicated to preserving and advancing the University's vital and enduring mission. 'We have now brought to a close an investigation that, if unresolved, could have had significant and lasting implications for the University of Pennsylvania.' Daily Mail has reached out to Thomas' spokesperson for comment. It was under that pervious NCAA structure that Thomas was allowed to compete despite originally swimming as a man before receiving hormone replace therapy. She returned as a woman in 2021 after meeting the NCAA's hormone requirements at the time. Thomas won a national title as a woman in the 500 free while tying for fifth in the 200 free at the 2022 NCAA Finals with Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines (pictured) Since then, the NCAA has changed its policy to conform with Trump's February 5 executive order aiming to ban transgender athletes from girls and women's sports. The NCAA changed its policy on February 6 after Trump signed an executive order on banning transgender athletes from girls' and women's sports. Thomas was banned from competing in elite women's races ahead of the Olympics by The Court of Arbitration for Sport panel, which ruled that she was ineligible to challenge World Aquatics policy on trans athletes. Thomas is, arguably, the most visible trans athlete in the debate over their presence in women's and girls' sports. Growing up in Austin, Texas, Thomas began swimming at age 5 and only got better with the passing years. At Westlake High School, which produced Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks Drew Brees and Nick Foles, Thomas earned a sixth-place finish among teenage boys at the Texas state championships. Colleges quickly took notice. Thomas ultimately followed her brother to Penn's swim team, where she began focusing on distance races – and her growing unease with her own body. She'd already begun questioning her gender in high school, but those feelings only intensified at the Ivy League college in Philadelphia. While competing under her birth name, Will, Thomas recorded the sixth-fastest national time in the men's 1,000-yard freestyle in 2017 (57.55 seconds), and had several other impressive performances in the 500-yard freestyle and 1,650-yard freestyle. Thomas was even better the following year, finishing second at the Ivy League Championships in the men's 500 freestyle, 1,000 freestyle and 1,650 freestyle. But although Thomas was still racing as a man in the spring 2019, she was already beginning to identify as a woman. In fact, Thomas came out to her family as transgender a year earlier, in the summer of 2018. To Thomas, transitioning was the right answer. Not only was she comfortable with her new body, but her family, friends, teammates and coaches remained largely supportive of her decision. She was still competing as a man in 2019-20, occasionally wearing a women's swimsuit, but her times suffered dramatically due to HRT treatment. Ultimately Thomas raced in only four of eight regular-season events that year, and outside of a win in the 500 freestyle against Villanova, was a non factor for the Quakers. With her testosterone levels dropping, Thomas decided to move to the women's division, not just for herself, but for other trans athletes facing the same obstacles. There was, of course, some pushback. Even LGBTQ+ icon Martina Navratilova took issue with the trans swimmer, reposting a article on Twitter and writing: 'It is not fair for women to race against transgender Lia Thomas.' In January of 2022, the NCAA announced it would defer to the rules of each sport's governing body when it came to trans athletes in women's sports. USA Swimming followed by updating its own criteria, requiring trans women to have minuscule testosterone levels for 36 months in order to compete in the women's division. Regardless, Thomas remained eligible while posting the best 200-meter freestyle time in the country as the NCAA was beginning its own transition from the imperial to the metric system.
