Community Shield Date Set for Liverpool and Palace
Liverpool Set for Community Shield Showdown at Wembley The stage is set for the 2025 Community Shield, as Liverpool return to Wembley for the traditional curtain-raiser to the English football season. The Football Association has confirmed that the Reds will face Crystal Palace on Sunday 10 August, with kick-off at 3pm BST. Photo: IMAGO Advertisement It is a fixture steeped in ceremony, often a footnote in the annals of August, yet its symbolism remains intact. The Community Shield represents more than just a prelude. For Liverpool, it is a chance to set a tone. For Palace, it is a reward for history made. Palace Earn Historic Spot in Season Opener Crystal Palace arrive at this fixture by way of one of the most momentous days in their 119-year existence. Their 1–0 victory over Manchester City in the FA Cup final secured not just silverware but a kind of rebirth. A club too often typecast as perennial survivors, Palace now enter the season with a medal in hand and belief in their stride. Liverpool, in contrast, come as Premier League champions. Their campaign was a relentless march of pressing, possession and precision. The title returned to Anfield, and with it, expectations. This Community Shield tie, then, becomes more than ceremonial. It is a collision of narrative and ambition, of underdog glory and sustained excellence. Wembley Return for Arne Slot This match also serves as an early litmus test for Arne Slot. The Dutchman's last outing at Wembley ended in frustration, as Newcastle denied him in the Carabao Cup final. Now, he returns to the capital with a chance to recalibrate. Advertisement Liverpool's appearance marks their first in the Community Shield since 2022, when they overcame Manchester City 3–1. For a club so used to the pursuit of silverware, occasions like this are not taken lightly. As the FA confirmed, 'The 2025 FA Community Shield will be played at Wembley Stadium on Sunday 10 August, with kick-off at 3pm BST.' There will be no free-to-air broadcast this time, with TNT Sports 1 holding exclusive coverage rights. It ends a brief run of ITV screenings and returns the Shield to subscription screens. Fans Await Further Matchday Details While the date, time and broadcast have been locked in, the finer details are still to be revealed. Liverpool fans will no doubt travel in large numbers, eager for a first glimpse of the new-look Reds with the summer already promising much change. For Palace, the journey to Wembley will again carry echoes of triumph, and perhaps even dreams of more.

79 days till the Arizona Cardinals' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 79?
With 79 days till the Cardinals open the season against the Saints, we look at the players who have worn No. 79. We are counting down to the start of the 2025 regular season for the Arizona Cardinals and are now less than 12 weeks away. They will open the season on the road against the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 7. That is 79 days away. As we count down the remaining days of the offseason, let's look at who has worn that number uniform over the years for the Cardinals. Who has worn No. 79? Cardinals players to wear No. 79 Defensive lineman P.J. Mustipher now wears No. 79. No one has worn it for more than three seasons this century. Simeon Rice only wore 79 his rookie season before dominating at No. 97. But a player who was fantastic was Walker, who had 50.5 sacks for the Cardinals, although it was before sacks were a stat. Pro Football Reference credits him for that many sacks. Get more Cardinals and NFL coverage from Cards Wire's Jess Root and others by listening to the latest on the Rise Up, See Red podcast.

Report: Robertson Exit Progresses Amid Transfer Flurry
Liverpool's Summer Shake-Up: Robertson Says Yes to Atletico Amid Record Moves Robertson Exit Edges Closer as Wirtz Arrival Nears Liverpool's 2025 summer transfer window is turning into one of the most eventful in recent memory. While the headlines are rightly dominated by the anticipated arrival of Florian Wirtz – expected to become the club's record signing – it's the news on Andy Robertson that's sparked a stir amongst Reds supporters. Advertisement According to Sport, the Scottish full-back has given Atletico Madrid the green light to press on with a move. It's a statement that signals the beginning of the end of an era for one of Jurgen Klopp's most iconic signings. Although Robertson's potential departure has come as a surprise the timing may actually make sense from a strategic point of view. With only one year remaining on his contract and Milos Kerkez set to arrive, Robertson's role in Arne Slot's setup could be significantly reduced. Photo IMAGO Smart Sales Fuel Record Spending This is not just a summer of arrivals; it's one of calculated departures. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Caoimhin Kelleher have already been sold, and now Robertson may follow. While losing such a trio in one window might feel drastic, it's part of Liverpool's broader recalibration – trimming ageing or unsettled assets to fund an ambitious rebuild. Slot Era Taking Shape The surprise sale of Robertson, if completed, will not be a sentimental decision – it will be a statement. The Slot era is clearly not beholden to past glories. Frimpong, Pecsi, Wirtz and Kerkez mark the start of a more flexible, technical and modern Liverpool. Advertisement As the window unfolds, it's becoming clearer that this is not just a refresh – it's a redefinition. Our View – Anfield Index Analysis For many Liverpool fans, the idea of Andy Robertson in anything other than red feels borderline sacrilegious. This is a player who defined Klopp's heavy metal football – tireless runs, crunching tackles, and big-game consistency. But football waits for no one. From a supporter's lens, this deal is bittersweet. If Robertson does join Atletico, he'll be doing so with our best wishes – he deserves to test himself in another top European league. But it stings, especially when you consider the timing: just as we're preparing to welcome young talents like Kerkez, Frimpong and Wirtz. Advertisement That said, the trust in Arne Slot and the sporting structure should not be underestimated. If this summer is about laying the groundwork for the next great Liverpool side, then difficult decisions are part of the job. Losing Trent and Robbo in the same window is seismic emotionally – but possibly essential tactically. And let's be honest – if Liverpool are securing €100m players and building a youthful, high-ceiling side, then selling smart is non-negotiable. Just as fans learned to love the likes of Robertson and Wijnaldum after initial scepticism, there's room to fall for this next crop too. Still, seeing Robbo in red and white instead of just red? That'll take time to get used to.
