Luis Suarez, who played for Inter Miami last weekend in the NFL’s championship game against the Seattle Sounders, received a six-game suspension, according to tournament disciplinary officials who released a statement on Friday.

After getting involved in a brawl following Miami’s 3-0 loss, the 38-year-old former Uruguay, Liverpool, and Barcelona star was fined for spitting at a Sounders official.

Suarez’s suspension would only be effective for the following year’s edition of the tournament, according to a statement from the Leagues Cup Disciplinary Committee, but Major League Soccer “reserves the right” to impose additional sanctions.

Sergio Busquets, Suarez’s inter-teammate at Inter Miami, also received a two-game suspension. Tomas Aviles, a third Inter player, is prohibited from playing in three games.

Steven Lenhart, a member of the Seattle coaching staff, has received a five-game suspension.

The teams from MLS and Liga-MX faced off in the joint competition after chaotic scenes came to an end to Miami’s defeat in Sunday’s final at Seattle.

Obed Vargas, a 20-year-old midfielder for the Sounders, was immediately put in a headlock by Suarez shortly after the final whistle, causing a brawl that involved both players and staff.

As Seattle security staff members spit at each other as they walked away from Vargas, officials scrambled to restore order, but cameras later discovered Suarez and his partner were doing the same.

Suarez apologized for his actions in a statement on Thursday, which was released after being previously given suspensions for biting and racially abusing opponents in separate incidents earlier in his career.

Suarez wrote on Instagram that the situation created great tension and annoyance, with the result that things didn’t go as planned but that doesn’t justify my actions.

Suarez continued, “I was wrong and I sincerely regret it. I feel bad about what happened, and I didn’t want to miss the chance to acknowledge it and express my sincere regret,”

This was Suarez’s most recent disciplinary encounter.

After receiving a four-month ban for biting Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini, he was notoriously kicked out of the 2014 World Cup.

He has also been fined for biting people during club games, and in 2011 England’s authorities issued an eight-game ban for allegedly racially abusing France’s Patrice Evra.

One of the villains of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa was also a man who had denied Ghana what would have been a late winner in the quarter-finals due to his cynical handball.

Promoter CSI Sports reported on Thursday that Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather have reached a deal for a potential 2026 exhibition fight.

Although there was no release date or location for the fight, CSI reported that Mayweather and heavyweight champion Mayweather would meet in “Spring 2026.”

Tyson, 59, established himself as the most feared heavyweight of his generation by creating a 50-7 record with 44 knockouts.

In Arlington, Texas, he last appeared in the ring in November when YouTuber-turned-prizefighter Jake Paul thumped him.

Tyson hardly ever managed to punch in that eight-round fight, which was still watched by a live audience of about 70 000 spectators and an estimated one million more tuning in from all over the world.

Mayweather, 48, a former world champion who won world titles in five weight classes when he retired from boxing in 2017, unbeaten in 50 of his fights.

However, he has continued to show up in shows, most recently in August of 2024 when he defeated John Gotti III in Mexico.

In a statement made by CSI, Tyson said, “No way this happens,” when asked about entering the ring with Floyd Mayweather.

Floyd, however, said “yes.” None of us ever imagined or could witness this conflict. This fight is as unpredictable as it gets, despite the fact that boxing has entered a new era of the unpredictable.

Germany’s opening World Cup qualifier on Thursday saw them suffer a shock 2-0 defeat, while Spain opened the year’s title defense with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Bulgaria.

Just before half-time against Germany in Bratislava, Atletico Madrid’s David Hancko untracked into the penalty box to give Slovakia the lead.

Ten minutes into the second half, David Strelec, who has just signed for Middlesbrough in the English Championship, brilliantly fired into the top corner.

Slovakia’s first World Cup appearance since 2010 is assured by the outcome, which gives them a first-class start in Group A.

Germany, in contrast, are immediately under pressure, despite the fact that this group match appears to be their hardest-fought match so far.

After losing both of their matches in the UEFA Nations League Final Four against Portugal and France in June, Julian Nagelsmann’s team kicked off their World Cup qualifying campaign.

When they take on Northern Ireland on Tuesday, they must now act quickly while Luxembourg is their other four-team teammate.

Only the group winners advance to the North American finals with 48 teams.

Jamie Reid, Shea Charles, and Justin Devenny scored the goals for Northern Ireland in Luxembourg, 3-1.

Aiman Dardari’s equalizer put the hosts in front before the break, but Seid Korac’s second-half red card put an end to their chances of winning the game.

Spain, the reigning champion of Europe, had few issues with their Group E match against Bulgaria in Sofia. They lost in June to Portugal in the Nations League final.

Within five minutes, Mikel Oyarzabal scored a skillful finish from a Martin Zubimendi pass, and Marc Cucurella put together a superb second goal.

After Lamine Yamal’s third goal, Mikel Merino scored it after 38 minutes.

Belgium wins, Netherlands wins,

Turkey, who fought back from a Georgian comeback to defeat Spain 3-2 in Tbilisi, will play their next game away.

Turkey appeared to be cruising after Mert Muldur’s opening goal was met by Kerem Akturkoglu’s two goals either side of half-time.

However, Zuriko Davitashvili pulled one back, sending Baris Alper Yilmaz to the visitors’ penalty.

In stoppage time, Turkey held on for the victory, going up to 3:32 with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Despite having a lead through Denzel Dumfries in the first half, the Netherlands were held to a 1-1 draw by Poland in Group G Rotterdam.

The Dutch still lead the group with seven points, having already won both Poland and Finland on goal difference, and have a game in hand thanks to Matty Cash’s ferocious late strike.

In the same group, Lithuania and Malta both scored penalties to draw 1-1.

Maxim De Cuyper opened the scoring for Belgium against Liechtenstein with a 6-0 win over the minnows.

Arthur Theate, Kevin De Bruyne, and Malick Fofana also scored, with Youri Tielemans scoring twice, including a penalty.

After a contentious reign that lasted nearly 25 years, Daniel Levy abruptly resigned as the head of Tottenham.

Levy was the driving force behind Tottenham’s $1.2 billion ($1.6 billion) stadium and cutting-edge training facility.

However, the 63-year-old caused a stir among Tottenham fans when he faced numerous protests during a trying time for the Premier League team.

Levy, who had led the Premier League for the longest period of time, has faced more criticism than ever.

Supporters were enraged by a string of unsatisfying managerial decisions and Levy’s transfer policy, who was accused of giving a damn more attention to the club’s financial results than its pitch-perfect performance.

Tottenham finished 17th last season, their worst top-flight performance since 1976-77, before resurrecting the campaign by winning the Europa League to advance to the Champions League.

Ange Postecoglou was fired after two turbulent seasons in charge, but that success, which ended Tottenham’s 17-year trophy drought, did not spare him.

In his final significant choice, Levy made the hiring of Thomas Frank from Brentford to replace Postecoglou.

“I’m incredibly proud of the work I and the rest of our staff have done together,” said the executive team. In a statement, Levy said, “We have made this club into a global heavyweight competition at the highest level.”

We have also created a community, “more than that.” From the team at Lilywhite House and Hotspur Way to all the players and managers over the years, I had the honor of working with some of the sport’s greatest players.

I want to thank every fan who has backed me over the years. Although the journey hasn’t always been simple, significant progress has been made. I’ll be a strong supporter of this organization forever.

In April, Vinai Venkatesham was appointed as Tottenham’s chief executive officer, and Peter Charrington, who was appointed in March, will take on the newly created position of Non-Executive Chairman, has been appointed.

A new era of leadership is discussed in &nbsp.

“I’m very honored to be the non-executive chairman of this extraordinary club, and I want to thank Daniel and his family for their service and commitment over the years,” said Charrington.

On and off the pitch, the club is entering a new era of leadership. I appreciate the significant changes that have occurred as we have laid new foundations for the future.

“We are now fully focused on stability and empowering our talented members of the Club, under Vinai and his executive team.

Tottenham had only won two titles since Levy took over in 2001, with the 2008 League Cup being followed by a lengthy wait that culminated with last season’s Europa League triumph over Manchester United.

As a result of the dismissals of Mauricio Pochettino, Antonio Conte, Maurizio Pochettino, and Nuno Espirito Santo, Levy gained a reputation for his brutal sacking of managers.

During Pochettino’s tenure, Tottenham enjoyed its best form under Levy.

The Argentine reached the 2019 Champions League final as Tottenham’s third successive top three finishers.

Even Pochettino was unable to escape Levy’s axe, but the chairman was ultimately the subject of discussion.

Tottenham’s fans were furious because of how badly their team performed last year and the club’s difficult summer transfer window, which saw them miss out on Morgan Gibbs-White and Eberechi Eze, which only made things worse.

The gleaming 62, 000-capacity stadium that opened in 2019 was Levy’s pride and joy’s banner last season, which perfectly summed up the divisional nature of his rule.

It read, “24 years, 16 managers, and one trophy: time for change.”

The disenchanted supporters have finally gotten their wish, despite Tottenham eventually adding a trophy to that meager haul in the Levy era.

Following Levy’s departure, the club’s ownership or shareholder structure will remain unchanged.

On Thursday, a British man who was accused of driving his car into crowds to celebrate Liverpool’s Premier League title in May last year entered a 31-count plea.

Paul Doyle, a 53-year-old former British marine, entered a videolink plea to not guilty to charges involving 29 victims between the ages of six and 77 years.

On May 26, city residents poured into the city’s streets to celebrate the city’s world-famous football team’s record-equalling 20th English top-flight title as scenes of joy turned into horror.

When Doyle allegedly drove his car into the crowds, according to Merseyside Police, 134 people were hurt.

A father-of-three from the city’s Croxteth neighborhood is accused of dangerous driving, affray, and attempting to inflict grievous bodily harm with intent.

The trial is scheduled for November 24 and is expected to last three to four weeks.

Jannik Sinner, the reigning US Open champion, defeated Lorenzo Musetti, the 10th seed, in straight sets to reach the semi-finals on Wednesday.

In the first all-Italian men’s quarter-final in Grand Slam history, Sinner defeated Musetti 6-1, 6-4, and 6-2.

Sinner, who is 16-0 against Italian players, said, “We have to take the friendship away for the game and everything is fine again.”

“It was a fantastic, very strong performance. I did a great job of starting the match.

He advances to the semi-finals of the Canadian Open with Felix Auger-Aliassime, a 25th seed from Canada.

Every player who competes in the Grand Slam semis can claim to be playing the game at its best, Sinner continued.

Auger-Aliassime has won two of his previous meetings, but Sinner thrashed him last month in Cincinnati for just two games.

With his 86th victory, the 24-year-old Sinner also tied Nicola Pietrangeli for the most Grand Slam victories by an Italian man.

Sinner wants to become the first person to successfully defend the US Open title since Roger Federer won the final five of his previous five titles in 2008.

This year, he has won the Australian Open and Wimbledon, but Carlos Alcaraz lost in a five-set epic battle to reach the French Open final.

Sinner won the first set in 27 minutes as he seized control of the first five games against Musetti.

Before Musetti’s double fault at 4-all caused a single break chance for both players in the second set, which was much closer.

Sinner seized on a two-set lead before resuming play to begin the third set.

Musetti had four break points in the following game and two more when Sinner served with a score of 3-1, but he was unable to defend his rival.

Sinner broke again to earn a commanding victory at the majors, his 26th consecutive victory.
