Defend 40 yards of space. Break the midfield lines with incisive passes. Beat the press. Score from set-pieces. The demands on centre backs have grown. But Arsenal have a duo who can do it all.

Cest une anomalie dans le football franais. Alors que le FC Versailles volue en National, lchelon infrieur la Ligue 2, depuis la saison 2022-2023, la formation ne peut pas jouer dans sa ville. Une situation insupportable pour le club qui lance un appel pour faire bouger les lignes.

'That's noted': Socceroos coach Tony Popovic is keen to silence some cocky Americans.

The Baltimore Ravens' decision to pull out of the Maxx Crosby has taken everyone by surprise, including those in the NFL. Several teams around the league are "definitely shocked, to say the least," about Crosby's trade from the Las Vegas Raiders to the Ravens getting called off, FOX Sports NFL insider Jay Glazer reported Tuesday. And while Crosby is back on the trade market, it doesn't appear that another deal involving the star edge rusher is imminent because the "few teams who were previously interested already committed their money elsewhere, so they can't jump in now," Glazer wrote in a social media post. "Bad all around," Glazer added. The Dallas Cowboys might be among that group of teams. They were reportedly among the teams interested in Crosby before the Raiders agreed to trade him to the Ravens for two first-round, but the Cowboys aren't expected to revisit a potential deal for Crosby, a league source told FOX Sports' Ralph Vacchiano. As we await to see what's next for Crosby, one unfortunate fan learned that he can't pull out of a promise he made from the previously agreed-upon deal. An X user named "@Hamilton_DPOY" followed up on his promise that he would shave his head if the Ravens traded for Crosby on Tuesday. Roughly 40 minutes after he posted his haircut, the news broke that the Ravens were pulling out of the deal. Crosby, meanwhile, took to Instagram shortly after the news broke. He posted an image of himself on what appeared to be a private jet, with his feet resting on a seat. Crosby's agent, on the other hand, came to his client's defense as he underwent meniscus surgery in January. "Maxx continues to be on track in his recovery and if anything is ahead of schedule according to his surgeon Dr Neal El Attrache," CJ LaBoy wrote in a social media post. "Maxx remains on track to return during the offseason program & will undoubtedly return as the dominant game wrecker he has been these past 7 seasons." How did the rest of the football world react to the deal? Many tried to find other instances of a major trade being nixed at the last second, while others wondered what was next for the Ravens, Raiders and Crosby.

The ICC release said: "On current arrangements, the South Africa contingent will begin departing for South Africa tonight, with all members expected to have departed within the next 36 hours."

Here's a look at the top rookies for the 2026 NWSL season, all of which are expected to get serious minutes early on

HOUSTON, TEXAS - DECEMBER 21: Maxx Crosby #98 of the Las Vegas Raiders reacts on the sideline in the second half against the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium on December 21, 2025 in Houston, Texas. (Photo by Tim Warner/Getty Images) | Getty Images In one of the craziest NFL offseason stories in memory, the Las Vegas Raiders trade of superstar pass-rusher Maxx Crosby is off with the Baltimore Ravens. It was supposed to official Wednesday afternoon.Lets look at what it means:To answer that question, who the hell knows what it means? But this is for certain in the developing saga, it changes everything for the Raiders, Ravens and for Crosby.Everything is likely on the table. But, to be sure, everyone is in scramble mode.First, the focus is on the fact that The Athletic reported Crosby failed the Ravens physical because of his recently repaired knee.Physicals are subjective and other teams not feel like Crosbys issue is a major long-term concern.What the Ravens may have been thinking is, the test results may be too risky at the price of two first-round picks. The Ravens also had a rough first two days of free agency (including seeing the Raiders agree to terms with center Tyler Linderbaum), and may not feel like they are in position to contend. That might be the sense around the league.One GM summarized the feelings around the league: This is very much bullshit on Baltimores part. https://t.co/GPC7e3LG21 Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) March 11, 2026There were already reports that other teams will be interested, including the Dallas Cowboys, who reportedly were the runners up for Crosby. Yet, the Athletic reported Tuesday night the Cowboys are not currently expected in trade talks with the Raiders. But, lets face it, the price will likely not be what the Raiders wanted and with deals committed elsewhere, the market may be smaller. The Raiders got the big deal from the Ravens because there was such a robust market. Will that still be the case? They might get a first-round pick, but further compensation might have to be conditional for Crosby, who turns 29 in August. Either way, it may take some time to get a new Crosby finalized because of the medical process. His agent released this on X on Tuesday night.Maxx continues to be on track in his recovery and if anything is ahead of schedule according to his surgeon Dr Neal El Attrache. Maxx remains on track to return during the offseason program & will undoubtedly return as the dominant game wrecker he has been these past 7 seasons. CJ LaBoy (@CJLaBoy) March 11, 2026ESPN reported Tuesday night that teams are already calling the Raiders, but the team is prepared to keep him but are listening. That was the same approach the team took before accepting the highest offer, from Baltimore.Raiders already have received calls from several teams inquiring about the availability of Maxx Crosby in a trade, per source. For now the Raiders are prepared to get Crosby healthy and have him play for Las Vegas. But they are listening to other teams. pic.twitter.com/qxUzQJeQ18 Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 11, 2026The Raiders could potentially keep Crosby but that might be awkward for everyone and theyve already committed to a post-Crosby defense. Still, they can still fit in their salary-cap structure but it would likely alter some further planned spending. Also, it could seriously affect 2027s cap. So, for a team committed to a rebuild, this could present a major issue.None of the Raiders planned signings can be official until Wednesday and that including Kwity Pate ($48 million) and Malcolm Koonce ($11 million). NFL.com reported that the Raiders still plan on honoring the deals. That would be a lot of money at the position if Crosby is part of the future.There are currently no answers in this incredible turn of events. Yet, there are plenty of questions.We are all used to only Raiders stories, but this is an all-timer.
