In years gone by,Bet365 L?ch thi ??u summers without a men’s World Cup or European Championship gave us the opportunity for a bit of calm before the new season. Not anymore; these days, there’s always a big game somewhere.
Next month, we’ll be rounding up the Club World Cup, CONCACAF Gold Cup and European Under-21 Championship, but in the meantime we’ve tried to take stock of everything else: the road to the 2026 World Cup, clubs on the rise in Egypt and Canada, a potential star of the Women’s Euros and the Premier League’s most expensive player of all time – plus plenty more.
