SportsLine's Martin Green reveals his Argentina vs. Austria best bets for their FIFA World Cup 2026 match on Monday, with Lionel Messi one goal shy of an all-time World Cup record

Albert Riera hits out at Eintracht Frankfurt after brief spellAlbert Riera has opened up about his turbulent time at Eintracht Frankfurt, offering a blunt explanation for why his tenure at the club ultimately came to an early end.The former Frankfurt coach believes the partnership was doomed from the start, describing it as a mismatch rather than a failure of ambition or quality.We were simply not meant for each other.To illustrate his point, Riera turned to an unusual comparison, likening his relationship with the Bundesliga club to that of former Hollywood power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.Both are wonderful, but they don't fit together.The Spaniard argued that success is often determined by details that go beyond appearances or reputation, suggesting that neither he nor Frankfurt were able to find the right chemistry despite their respective strengths. He concluded that his spell in Germany came at the wrong moment for both parties.I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.While Riera spoke positively about certain aspects of his experience, including his working relationship with sporting director Markus Krsche, he did not hold back when discussing the club's squad.In perhaps the most controversial remark of the interview, the 44-year-old claimed that although Frankfurt possess talented players, none would be part of his plans elsewhere.There is not a single footballer in this team that I would take with me to my next project.The comments are likely to raise eyebrows among Frankfurt supporters, particularly given the club's reputation for developing and recruiting highly regarded talent in recent years.Riera's tenure at Deutsche Bank Park lasted only a matter of months and ended after a disappointing run of results. The former Liverpool midfielder was often a polarising figure during his time in charge, attracting attention for his outspoken comments as much as for events on the pitch. His latest interview suggests that little has changed since his departure.

Two winners could emerge at the U.S. Open barring any Sunday surprises at Shinnecock Hills.That starts with Wyndham Clark, who went into the final round with a six-shot lead. No one has ever lost a 54-hole lead that large in U.S. Open history, and the last time anyone failed to win this major with a five-shot lead happened 107 years ago.The other winner might be the USGA.The toughest test in golf became too tough the last two U.S. Opens at Shinnecock Hills, the Long Island course where the the turf can go from soft to dry in a New York minute because of wind and sun and the sandy soil on which it was built.It was so out of control in 2004 that no one broke par on the final day. The next time in 2018, some of the greens became borderline unplayable late in the afternoon and caused more chaos. That remains the last U.S. Open with a winning score over par.This week has gone according to plan. John Bodenhamer, the chief competitions officer for the USGA, had wanted to go easy at the start and allow a natural progression of being tougher.Clark, who won the U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club in 2023, didn't make it look that way. He has set a Shinnecock scoring record after each round with extraordinary golf, from making long putts to a sublime short game and one majestic 3-wood to make the only eagle all week at the par-5 16th.He was at 7-under 203.Throw out that performance, and only four other players were at 1-under par, with four others behind them at even par.All that was left was 18 holes to determine if Clark could hold on to become the first wire-to-wire U.S. Open champion since Martin Kaymer at Pinehurst No. 2 in 2014, or if Scottie Scheffler could stage a rally on his 30th birthday to win the career Grand Slam.___AP golf: https://apnews.com/hub/golf

Declan Rice has disclosed that he has been battling nerve pain in his hamstring since Christmas, keeping the issue hidden from public view for six months.The Arsenal midfielder made the revelation following England's 4-2 victory over Croatia, where he was withdrawn after 72 minutes due to discomfort."I was feeling a little bit of neural pain in my hamstring, which I was managing from after Christmas with Arsenal for a very long time," Rice told ITV. "Obviously, not a lot of people would have known that. It was all behind the scenes stuff."The 27-year-old labelled the current fixture calendar as excessive, having racked up 63 appearances this campaign across club and international duty."It's an obscene amount of games," he admitted. "The schedule was crazy but what can we do about it? You can't sit and complain."Despite the ongoing issue, Rice insisted he is fully prepared for England's second group stage encounter against Ghana at Gillette Stadium in Boston on Tuesday."I'm ready and fit, raring to go," the vice-captain declared.The problem relates to his upper hamstring, with pain radiating into his lower back. However, Rice backed Thomas Tuchel's decision to remove him from the Croatia match as a precautionary measure."That last 20 minutes is probably where you pick up the most," he explained. "But that last 20 is where you really feel your body going for it. And I think it was a smart decision because the last few days I felt really, really good."The Ghana fixture will mark Rice's 64th match of the season.Rice expressed his determination to sacrifice everything for England's World Cup campaign, emphasising his passion for the game."You know you'd put your body on the line to be here always and to play," he said. "It's a lot of games, but we'll get our break at the end."The midfielder revealed he thrives on a packed schedule rather than finding it burdensome."I just love playing football. I love being durable," Rice added. "I love having that rhythm of playing three games a week at club. I wouldn't like playing once a week, having to wait until another week until the next matchday."He described his durability as something that has come naturally throughout his career, having accumulated an extraordinary number of appearances for someone his age.Rice drew parallels between Arsenal's title-winning mentality and England's ambitions in North America."I think it's just about not getting distracted, focusing on the job," he reflected on the Gunners' success in ending their 22-year wait for the Premier League trophy.The midfielder acknowledged that consecutive European Championship final defeats have fuelled the squad's hunger for silverware."We've got that fire in us to know we want to go one step further, and we believe we can," Rice stated.Tuchel has reassured his players they possess the physical attributes to handle the challenging conditions across the tournament."The manager's been really clear with us and with this squad that we have the strength and power to outrun and outplay teams," Rice confirmed.Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
