Hosting Premier League club Brighton Hove & Albion was a learning experience for Rutgers soccer

Rutgers men’s soccer utilized an English Premier League club at their training facility to learn about player care.

This summer, Rutgers hosted an English Premier League club as part of Brighton Hove & Albion’s preseason tour. It was an opportunity for Jim McElderry to not just watch the tactics of one of the best clubs in the world, but to check-in on the little things that helped Brighton to a successful campaign last season.

Brighton & Hove Albion, who finished sixth in the league last year on 62 points, participated in a preseason tour of the United States along with several other English clubs..They participated in a preseason match at Red Bull Arena against Newcastle and while in New Jersey, they used Rutgers and the Miller Soccer Complex as a training base.

For McElderry, the men’s soccer head coach, it was an exciting few days to see the ins and outs of how a Premier League club operates.

“Obviously, the quality of the players is fun to be around watching, you know, Premier League players train and play but I think watching their staff work was maybe more interesting to us in terms of how they used our facility and pre and post stuff that they did with their players,” McElderry said on a conference call this week to preview the season.

“Nothing that is rocket science but really interesting to watch how much care they give individual players – especially guys coming back from injury, how they work with the strength coaches.

“A lot to take away and even just the sessions they play some really good soccer as you know, and so watching them work and how they kind of build sessions was a lot of fun. Again, it’s, it’s not rocket science, but it’s just little subtle things that they’re doing and how they look after players. We’re lucky to have them here. It was just fun for our group to be around them and learn from them and have some of our players watch some of their sessions was a lot of fun for everybody.”

Rutgers is coming off a very strong 2022 season that saw them win the Big Ten Tournament. They made the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2015 and won their first conference tournament since 1997.

The Scarlet Knights have their first preseason game on Saturday against Drexel. They open the season on Aug. 24 with a non-conference game at Delaware.

Manchester United vs. Fulham: How to watch, channel, time, lineups, live stream Premier League

How to tune in for Manchester United’s last #EPL clash against #Fulham:

Could Manchester United be on the way toward building another historic run of football?

Locking in a Champions League position next season is a nice start, which the club did on Thursday with a 4-1 thumping of Chelsea. Locking in a third-place finish would be an even nicer touch, which is exactly what the Red Devils can do against Fulham on matchday 38.

The final day of the Premier League season sees Manchester United facing the Cottagers.

[afflinkbutton text=”Watch Man U vs Fulham” link=”https://imp.i305175.net/anKDxW”]

Fulham admittedly does not have anything to play for. Their season will end with a 10th place finish regardless of Sunday’s finale. But if you’re looking for momentum heading into next season? A win at United, who have second-best home record (14-3-1) this season, is a great place to start for manager Marco Silva’s side.

Meanwhile, with a single point, Manchester United wrap up the third-place position in the EPL in 2022-23 over Newcastle United as they enter Sunday with a two-point cushion.

However, it might not be so simple. Gaffer Erik Ten Hag could be without multiple players including Antony and Luke Shaw, who picked up knocks against Chelsea.

Ahead of the final game of the season for these two sides, here’s how to catch all the action:

Manchester United vs. Fulham FC:

  • When: Sunday, May 27
  • Time: 11:30 a.m. ET
  • Location: Old Trafford (Manchester)
  • Watch: Peacock

EPL starting lineups

Manchester United possible starting lineup:
De Gea; Dalot, Maguire, Lindelof, Malacia; Fernandes, Casemiro, McTominay; Sancho, Martial, Rashford

Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Tete, Adarabioyo, Diop, Robinson; Reed, Palhinha; Wilson, Cairney, Willian; Mitrovic

Soccer fans loved seeing USMNT goalkeeper Ethan Horvath help another club get promoted to the Premier League

USMNT keeper Ethan Horvath has helped yet another soccer club get promoted to the Premier League.

U.S. men’s national soccer team fans got to see goalkeeper Ethan Horvath play a crucial role in helping Luton Town F.C. get promoted to the English Premier League on Saturday at Wembley Stadium.

Horvath has been recently manning the net for Luton Town while he’s on loan from Nottingham Forest, the team that he helped get promoted to the Premier League last season.

This season, Horvath and the Hatters made it all the way to the English Football League’s championship. In the game, Luton Town earned a 6-5 win on penalties over Coventry City to get called up to the Premier League.

It’s a special moment for any soccer club when it gets the promotion to a higher league, but it’s especially special for a club like Luton Town that hasn’t played in the Premier League since it started in the early 1990s.

It’s extra special for Horvath, who earned his second-straight EFL championship and club promotion.

Luton Town impressively became the first club in soccer history to go from non-league status to the Premier League.

Soccer fans loved seeing Horvath get to soak in the moment after such an accomplishment between the pipes for Luton Town.

Manchester United vs. Chelsea: Live stream, channel, time, lineups, how to watch Premier League

How to watch the mid-week clash between the Manchester United & Chelsea #MUFC #CFC

It’s all or nothing on Thursday between Manchester United and Chelsea.

That is, in terms of what these two sides are respectively playing for…

United are the favorites to be the final team representing the English Premier League in next season’s Champions League. Manchester City, Arsenal and Newcastle United are all locked in. Manchester United sit three points clear of Liverpool with a game in-hand.

With a win… scratch that, a point against Chelsea, it’s over. Manchester United will lock in their Champions League position.

[afflinkbutton text=”Watch Man U vs. Chelsea” link=”https://imp.i305175.net/vN2Vmy”]

Manager Erik ten Hag will still have his Red Devils looking for the win, though. There’s a chance United could still finish in third ahead of Newcastle, so they’ll be a full-go… which could be bad news for the disaster that is Chelsea.

The Blues have two games remaining before Mauricio Pochettino takes over as bench boss. It’s all about pride for the 12th place side. Could that spell bad news or will this banged up Chelsea side want to show the new gaffer–who will undoubtedly be watching–that he should keep them around?

Ahead of the pivotal matchup, here is everything you need to know to stream the action:

Manchester United vs. Chelsea:

  • When: Thursday, May 25
  • Time: 3:00 p.m. EST
  • Location: Old Trafford (Manchester)

EPL starting lineups

Manchester United possible starting lineup:
De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Lindelof, Shaw; Casemiro, Eriksen; Antony, Fernandes, Sancho; Rashford

This massive cross-sport parlay made one bettor so much money

The first result was in April and the ticket just cashed out in June.

The best way to maximize your profits on a parlay is to add as many outcomes with favorable odds as possible. And sometimes you have to look to futures bets to stack up enough of those to make it worth your while.

That’s exactly what Instagram user @dpargs did with an incredible five-sport parlay that spanned three different months before being decided. And it was absolutely worth the wait, as he turned $100 into more than $19,000, according to FanDuel.

It all started April 24 with two simple moneyline bets — one on an English Premier League match between Liverpool and Everton and the other on an MLB game between the Giants and Nationals. A few additional results later, including both NBA conference winners and both French Open singles winners, the bet cashed out when the Colorado Avalanche clinched the NHL’s Western Conference title on Monday.

Surely, dpargs had ample opportunities to cash out earlier for a smaller sum. But his patience was rewarded with a small salary. Now, if we can get him to teach the rest of us his ways.

Jets owner Woody Johnson’s bid to buy Chelsea FC rejected

Jets owner Woody Johnson will not be being Chelsea F.C. after his bid of $2.62 billion was not accepted.

Woody Johnson didn’t win the bid to buy Chelsea F.C. from Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich.

Johnson’s bid, which was reported to be $2.62 billion, was not accepted by Abramovich’s sales advisors, according to the New York Post’s Brian Costello. The Saudi Media Group and Turkish businessman Muhsin Barak were among those who lost out on the bid as well, while the Rickett’s family – which owns the Chicago Cubs – was among the bidders who remain on the shortlist.

Johnson cited his ambassadorship to the United Kingdom from 2017-2021 during Donald Trump’s presidency as a major reason for his desire to own the club. The Jets have also played in London multiple times, and the NFL granted them international home marketing rights in the United Kingdom.
