Under new plans intended to overhaul the competition, teams who qualify for the Women’s Champions League league phase will no longer compete in the League Cup.

The format change was deemed necessary to resolve scheduling issues and safeguard player welfare.

The Football Association still needs to approve the proposal to be introduced for the 2026-27 season, according to BBC Sport’s comprehension of clubs’ votes.

The competition is currently being pitted against teams from the top two divisions of women’s football.

Following the WSL’s expansion to 14 teams, that number is expected to rise in 2019.

The elimination of Champions League teams will help to reduce the number of minutes played for them.

This year’s Champions League will have 18 teams and more matches on hand.

This season’s top European competition includes Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United.

In accordance with the proposed League Cup proposals, a Swiss-style league structure will be used to replace the current group stage, resulting in a single league table with regional fixtures for all teams.

The top eight teams in the league table will continue to qualify for the quarterfinals, with the same qualifying process for the knockout phase.

On the same night that Champions League games are scheduled, League Cup games will be played.

Strictly’s Tess Daly explains what she eats every day including a ‘naughty snack’

https://i2-prod.ok.co.uk/incoming/article36312561.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/219633826_301560844991594_3155427062599615444_n.jpg

Tess Daly, the host of Strictly Come Dancing, has revealed her daily diet, which includes the meal she never skips and the go-to sweet treat that gives her life a little extra “piss.”

After revealing that she still fits into the jeans she wore in her 20s, Strictly host Tess Daly has created a list of what she eats each day. The 56-year-old TV star, who is married to radio host Vernon Kay, gave a detailed breakdown of what she eats for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as which “little treat” makes her day more enjoyable.

Tess, who is retiring from her Strictly job at the end of the current series after 21 years as a co-host, started working as a model when she was 18, and revealed to the Mirror recently that she still fits into the same jeans she wore in her 20s. On how she has managed her healthy diet over the years, Tess said she starts every day the same way and “never ever” skips breakfast.

She said, “I typically have Greek yogurt, berries with seeds, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds for fiber, and maybe sliced bananas.”

She continued, “I try to get some protein in for lunch, like a tuna mayonnaise wrap and some salad, but I need a decent lunch just to keep going,” in her capacity as a stead-steady advocate for Vitabiotics Wellwoman.

I make an effort to prepare something tasty for dinner, such as tuna in a teriyaki sauce or roasted salmon with some coriander, lime, sweet potatoes, and lots of vegetables.

Her “sweet tooth,” she said, “so I need a little bit of chocolate every day, a little treat is great, we deserve a little pleasure in our lives.” I enjoy eating well-balanced whole foods, but occasionally I also enjoy naughty snacks, and I wonder why I enjoy chocolate.

Tess stated that her enviable figure came from maintaining when the Mirror first spoke with her about her NAIA Beach swimwear line earlier this year. She also said she has always been particularly mindful of setting a positive example at home as a mother to her and Vernon’s two daughters, Amber, age 16 and Phoebe, age 20.

I’ve always been very careful when it comes to demonizing sugar and not counting calories, and I don’t want to give food any bad connotations because I believe moderation is key, she said.

Following a tragic battle with prostate cancer, the Hollywood veteran passed away at the age of 76 at his Washington home.

Hollywood stalwart John Eimen has tragically died at the age of 76, following a battle with prostate cancer. The actor is best known for his roles as a child star in classic American shows such as Leave It to Beaver and McKeever And The Colonel. John’s family announced he sadly died on November 21 at his home in Washington, just months after he bravely revealed on Facebook that his diagnosis was “advanced”.

He shared a cheerful photo of himself in the sincere post at the time. He added that he had been blessed with wonderful friends, a loving family, and 75 wonderful years and that it had been “advanced” and that it had been “advanced.” Many of you, thank you all. “

When John was a child star, John’s most successful years in Hollywood came when he collaborated with some of the most recognizable actors of the era’s classic. Robert Stack, Jackie Coogan, Barbara Billingsley, and even Ronald Reagan, a former president, were among them.

He was 18 years old when he started getting more credited roles than many actors in their entire careers. In 1957, the late actor played Theodore Cleaver’s classmate in the series premiere of Leave It to Beaver, which was his first appearance.

He became a regular fixture on the series, starring in several more episodes throughout its run until 1963, reports the Express. In 2020, the star discussed his experiences as a child actor during a podcast interview on Classic Conversations With Jeff Dwoskin .

He later admitted that he had done a lot of these shows, and that frequently he would simply be told that I would have to be at a specific studio at a specific time. Not that much was really needed in the case of working as an extra, especially. Simply show up and have appropriate attire.

He continued, stating that as he “progressively started getting better parts” in the industry, with his standout performance in the lead role in the 1962 Twilight Zone, The Fugitive, alongside J. Pat O’Malley.

His early work included appearances on The Untouchables, Petticoat Junction, Have Gun-Will Travel, Wagon Train, Bachelor Father, and The Rebel. The actor then jumped at the chance to play the role of Jane Wyman’s son in a 1961 drama series called Dr Kate, which he had been anticipating for a while.

He stated in an interview that given Ms. Wyman’s status as an Academy Award-winning actress, the program had the potential to continue running for many years.

She resisted the offer, claiming dissatisfaction with the channel’s proposed “after-prime time” schedule slot. Instead, the pilot was turned into a Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse anthology TV series. He relocated to Japan in 1974, where he spent ten years teaching English and working as a solo singer-guitarist in one of Osaka’s hipster clubs.

After serving for a quarter of a century, he eventually returned to the US, where he began a position as a flight attendant for a prestigious airline. He eventually gave up his wings in late 2020.

Joe Marchant has been given a long-term contract by the Sale Sharks starting next season.

When Stade Francais’ top 14 team, Stade Francais, finishes their campaign, the centre will return to England.

Marchant, 29, has played more than 50 games for the Paris-based club during his first two years there.

    • ago, one hour ago

Prior to making his move to Paris, Marchant had spent the majority of his career at Harlequins, where he had played more than 150 games and was a member of the team that won the Prem title in 2021.

He was first chosen for England in 2019, and he can start aiming for more caps once more in the coming year.

It will be great to play with a lot of the young men at the club again, Marchant said on the Sale website.

“Sale have some of the nation’s top players, and I’m excited to play with them.”

I’d like to rejoin England, but I know I must first revert to the prem and deliver some strong performances for Sale.

Sale rugby director Alex Sanderson thinks it is a deal that works for both parties with Marchant’s arrival.

Joe Sanderson said, “Of course, Joe wants to play in the World Cup, and that’s one of his motivations for coming back.”

He believes that’s why he needs to play for a championship-winning team, and he thinks that’s how we do that.
