Head coach Fatih Terim believes the two-day tournament offers his side the best possible opportunity to improve their fitness levels ahead of their Super Cup clash with Fenerbahce next week. Fatih Terim, Galatasaray manager (on the Turkish FA’s new ruling that only six foreign players can be on the pitch at any time): “This is not healthy, only allowing six foreign players on the pitch at any time.

Lincoln make FA Cup history The fifth-tier side shocked Premier League outfit Burnley 1-0 to become the first non-league club to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals in 103 years. And, as dressing room footage showed after the match, the celebrations were only beginning for the Imps. Could we see a similar scene on Monday? Lincoln’s fellow non-league side Sutton will attempt to cause an even bigger shock when they face Arsenal in the FA Cup fifth round at the Borough Sports Ground....

The Liverpool striker is currently on loan at Wolfsburg, where he has impressed with four goals in his first 11 starts. But he failed to add to that tally in Tuesday’s clash against RB Leipzig as he missed the target in spectacular fashion. Origi missed the target from two yards out, spurning a glorious chance for his team.

How tough the Indians made it for their higher seeded Indonesian opponents is perhaps demonstrated the best in a 91-shot rally that the two teams played, with the latter leading 9-4 in the second game. The Indians were on the backfoot at the beginning of the rally and kept on defending tirelessly. The two then upped their pace and masterfully converted defence into attack, that made it a stunning rally to watch....

All the latest transfer rumours And if Edinson Cavani can keep up his fine form the holders will push their rivals right to the wire. The Uruguayan put in a blistering performance to take down Guingamp, scoring two top-drawer goals in 10 minutes after the break as PSG ran out 4-0 winners on Sunday.

16 national teams representing unrecognised states and regions will do battle around London, but none have quite as strange a selection process as Cascadia. A region in the north west of America and Canada, Cascadia consists of Canadian province British Columbia and Vancouver, and American states of Oregon and Washington. It may have a population larger than that of Ecuador or Zambia, but Cascadia’s football team for the impending CONIFA World Cup will mostly consist of players from England, according to President of the Cascadia Football Federation Aaron Johnsen, who recently managed to convince former LA Galaxy and Colorado Rapids defender James Riley to captain the side....

With 12 senior trophies already to his name, the 26-year-old has already achieved things most other players can only dream of - but he has not been able to reach such footballing heights with talent alone. “I think hydration is an important topic,” Gotze said. “Drinking plenty of fluids is especially important for athletes. “You need to find the right balance and provide your body with as much fluid as it needs to supply your muscles and body so that you can optimise your performance....

Henry was born to score goals and that too brilliant ones at that. The guy has been doing this one simple job in a variety of ways for the last two decades and we really can’t stop loving him. He looks like a bottle of champagne that keeps getting better as he ages. Even at the age of 37, Henry glides around the park nonchalantly and makes goalkeepers question their life’s choices....
