Lucy Bronze says ‘it’s a shame’ women have to fight for change amid bonus row

England defender Lucy Bronze admitted it is a “shame” women often find themselves entrenched in battles for change amid reports the Lionesses are unhappy with the situation around performance-related bonuses at the World Cup.

Bronze and her team-mates arrived in Australia on Friday to begin preparations for this summer’s showpiece, which under a new model will see players guaranteed remuneration directly from FIFA with amounts increasing the deeper teams go in the tournament. They range from 30,000 US dollars (£23,367) per athlete for the group stage to USD 270,000 (£210,305) allotted to each champion.

Previously, it was up to individual national governing bodies to decide how money was allocated, with some still agreeing to fund additional payments in 2023 beyon…

Torres set for Chelsea stay

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has insisted that Fernando Torres will not be sold this summer, .

The 30 year old has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge following the arrival of international teammate Diego Costa, who he replaced as a substitute twice at this summer’s World Cup finals in Brazil.

However, with Demba Ba and Samuel Eto’o having moved on in the close season, his manager has insisted that he does have a future at the club.

Despite that low tally, he has tasted success in the FA Cup, Champions League and Europa League, and will…

Newcastle United face a reunion with Alan Pardew when they take on Crystal Palace and their former boss believes he did a good job.

Star Trek And Battlestar Galactica's Ron Moore Wants To Make A Star Wars TV Show

Sci-fi veteran Ron Moore–who is known for his work on Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, and Outlander–is now working at Disney and has some ideas for a Star Wars show.

He cautioned that it might be some time before it happens because Disney is quite busy with the 10 Star Wars TV shows that the company announced back in December.

Still, Moore said he hopes to be able to do it someday. As fans may recall, Moore was working on a live-action Star Wars TV show with George Lucas many years ago, but it fell apart.
