Nations League faces fierce backlash over brutal schedule

The UEFA Nations League faces fierce backlash over a brutal and relentless fixture schedule.

Despite fierce opposition from 54 out of 55 member associations, FIFA has officially locked in a grueling Nations League schedule until 2030, featuring a brutal run of four matches in just 16 days. This relentless schedule has immediately pushed elite superstars to breaking point, forcing an exhausted Erling Haaland to ask to be substituted in the 67th minute, while Kylian Mbappé has picked up an injury due to severe fatigue.

Ageless Luka Modrić makes history with unprecedented record at 41

Croatia maestro Luka Modrić celebrates setting an unprecedented record at the age of 41.

Luka Modrić (aged 41 years and 17 days) has officially surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo to become the oldest goalscorer in the tournament's history. Amidst the grueling schedule, veteran stars Robert Lewandowski and Ivan Perišić continue to shine in their late thirties, while Lee Casciaro maintains his record as the oldest player to feature in the competition at 43 years and 14 days.
