Cody Gakpo is confident he can replicate the form he showed at Euro 2024 for Liverpool in the Premier League under the guidance of Arne Slot.
Gakpo, who shared the Golden Boot with five other players at the European Championships with three goals, has failed to nail down a starting spot since his move to Anfield last year.
The Dutchman scored 16 goals across 53 appearances in all competitions last season, eight of which came in the Premier League for the Reds.
However, his performances in Germany saw him star for Ronald Koeman s side.
Gakpo s display against Romania in the last 16 saw him become the first Dutch player to score and assist in a knockout-stage game at the tournament since Frank Rijkaard in the 1992 semi-final versus Denmark.

Many sports bettors know the long and lonely stretch of highway between Sin City and Southern California, which sets up the first non-conference “Battle of I-15” when the Las Vegas Raiders visit the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday Night Football.
The Raiders bring a three-game winning streak with them to SoFi Stadium, which will feature plenty of Silver and Black in the stands, going back to the franchise’s time in L.A.
Los Angeles is trying to tread water on a broken season but made waves by picking up castoff quarterback Baker Mayfield, who has a chance to play with Matthew Stafford out and backup John Wolford injured.
I try to make sense of the point spread and Over/Under total for Thursday Night Football and give my best N…
The Philadelphia Eagles will look to put a halt to their three-game losing skid when they play host to the New York Giants as 13.5-point favorites in the latest NFL odds.
With the Eagles facing arguably the best rushing matchup of the week, should bettors assume a low passing volume from the heavy favorites and fade Jalen Hurts and his passing totals?
I break down the Week 16 odds and offer my free NFL picks for the Giants vs. Eagles on December 25.
Be sure to also check out our favorite Giants vs. Eagles prop picks along with our Jalen Hurts spotlight!

At this point last season, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love was one of the biggest question marks heading into Week 1.
Fast forward a season — which included a red-hot run in the second half of the schedule and playoff win — and Love looks like the answer to the Cheeseheads’ post-Rodgers prayers. At least they’re paying him as such, signing Love to a four-year $220 million contract.
Love gets to prove that he’s worth all those zeros in Week 1 when the Packers travel to Brazil to play the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday night. I run down the player prop markets for Green Bay’s QB and give my best NFL picks for September 6.

Greece have qualified for the Euro 2012 quarter-finals with a stunning 1-0 upset of Russia, eliminating their opponents in the process.
Giorgios Karagounis scored the game s only goal in the last play of the first half, tucking an opportunistic strike under Russia custodian Vyacheslav Malafeev after some sloppy Russian defence.
Dick Advocaat s men pushed for an equaliser for the majority of the second half, however it was Greece that literally came closest, with a free kick denied by the woodwork.
Russia s best chance came from their top scorer at the tournament Alan Dzagoev who got on the end of an Andriy Arshavin cross, but his glancing header went just wide of Michalis Sifakis far post.
Greece qualify as the second-placed side in Group A, while Russia…
Tonight is the night that will complete the official line-up for UEFA Euro 2021. While 20 nations have already been able to book their place in next summer s international showpiece event, there are eight national teams out there who are attempting to make history of their own: Hungary, Iceland, Northern Ireland, Slovakia, Serbia, Scotland, Georgia and North Macedonia.
Right now the betting favourites to win the Euros next year are England with odds of 11/2 via . Alas, these four games are about a whole lot more than winning the tournament because simply qualifying is a huge statement of intent.
Can Iceland do it again?

Spain and Ireland were placed in the same group at the Euro 2012 finals, and after La Furia Roja recorded a 4-0 win on the road to their third consecutive trophy at major tournaments, their opponents will be eager to get revenge for the e…
Leicester did not have much to shout about during the season, but their 4-0 win at Wolves in October was a rare day in the sun. And it all started with a special goal from Youri Tielemans, who spanked a clearance into the top corner from 20 yards.

Everton earned one of the biggest shocks of the season when they stole a point in a 1-1 draw at Manchester City on New Year’s Eve. And Demarai Gray’s goal was worthy of it as he curled in to the top corner from the angle of the penalty area.
