New Zealand booked their place in Sunday’s tri-series final, and brought England along with them in the process

I’m just trying to keep up with Suzie Bates – Devine

New Zealand 151 for 2 (Devine 68*, Bates 62) beat South Africa 148 for 6 (Tryon 35) by eight wickets
ScorecardNew Zealand booked their place in Sunday’s tri-series final, and brought England along with them in the process, as they eased to an eight-wicket victory over a lacklustre South Africa in the first of their T20 double-headers at Bristol.It was a must-win encounter for South Africa, who had always been up against it after a pair of record-breaking beatings in the opening round of tri-series fixtures in Taunton. And despite winning the toss and batting first, they struggled to make headway in a stodgy innings of 148 for 6, enlivened only in the latter stages by a breezy 15-ball 35 from Chloe Tryon.It was no sort of score to challenge New Zealand’s hard-hitting top-order, and Suzie Bates and Sophie Devine make sure there would be no recourse in an opening stand of 130 in 13.2 overs.Bates brought up her fifty from 39 balls and Devine from 31, and neither really needed to extend themselves in the process. There were a pair of late consolation wickets as Bates snicked a drive through to Lizelle Lee behind the stumps for 62 before Katey Martin was bowled by Zintle Mali for 10. But two more fours in as many balls from Devine, including a lofted flog over the covers, sealed the contest with 4.4 overs to spare.In the absence of Shabnim Ismail, who withdrew with injury before the toss, South Africa’s bowlers were lacking in its usual depth. With the bat, they had started with cautious intent, adding 40 for the first wicket before Lizelle Lee fell on the pull to square leg, whereupon Sune Luus was run out at the non-striker’s end without addition.Amelia Kerr, the talk of the women’s game after her record-smashing exploits in Ireland, added two wickets in two overs to account for South Africa’s middle order. And though Tryon tried her best, the result was hardly in doubt.

O Flamengo anunciou nesta segunda-feira a demissão de Domènec Torrent. Além do treinador espanhol, a comissão técnica trazida pelo profissional também deixa o clube. A atividade desta terça-feira, no CT do Ninho do Urubu, já será comandada pelo treinador Maurício Souza, atual técnico do Sub-20.

Domènec Torrent foi anunciado como treinador do Flamengo em 31 de julho e deixa o comando do time com 14 vitórias, quatro empates e seis derrotas. O catalão deixa o time classificado para as quartas de final da Copa do Brasil, para as oitavas de final da Copa Libertadores e em terceiro lugar do Brasileirão.

A demissão acontece após duas goleadas sofridas no Campeonato Brasileiro: 4 a 1 para o São Paulo, no Maracanã, e 4 a 0 para o Atlético-MG, no Mineirão. As seguidas falhas – coletivas e individuais -, em especial no sistema defensivo, também pesaram para a decisão da diretoria em demitir Dome após 99 dias de trabalho – o primeiro treino sob o comando do espanhol foi em 3 de agosto.

أعرب ديديه ديشامب المدير الفني لمنتخب فرنسا الأول لكرة القدم عن سعادته بالفوز بركلات الترجيح على حساب البرتغال، والتأهل إلى نصف نهائي كأس أمم أوروبا يورو 2024.

وقال ديشامب في تصريحات لشبكة “بي ان سبورتس: “كانت مباراة متوترة ومتقاربة للغاية. كان من الممكن أن تسير الأمور بطريقة أو بأخرى، كانت نهاية المباراة أكثر صعوبة في الوقت الإضافي”.

وأضاف: “ربما كان هناك المزيد من الإرهاق. والأمر كان يتعلق بالتفاصيل الصغيرة، لكنني سعيد جدًا بالمجموعة التي دفعت نفسها إلى أقصى الحدود رغم صعوبة المباراة”.

وعن خروج مبابي: “إنه متعب بالطبع، من الناحية العضلية كان يعاني. لقد رأيته يعاني من صعوبة الركض، وكان صادقًا معي ومع المجموعة، طلب مني الخروج، وهذا الأمر يستحق الاحترام”.

وعن عدم دخول جيرو: “لم نتمكن من ذلك، أردت أن يدخل في الدقائق الأخيرة، لكن الحكم لم يأخذ الطلب في الاعتبار، وفي النهاية لم يدخل لكننا فزنا بالمباراة”.

Departing Everton with nine losses from his last 13 matches in charge, Rafa Benitez proved to be an unpopular figure as Toffees manager.

It felt like it wouldn't really work from the get-go, the Spaniard synonymous with Liverpool as manager before switching allegiances to Goodison Park – Benitez lifting the Champions League, the FA Cup and various other trophies in a celebrated spell at the Reds.

It was a doomed appointment, something that the former Everton boss has spoken on since departing the Toffees last year.

Speaking in an exclusive Sky Sports interview about his troubled time at the Toffees, Benitez admitted that his prior connections to Liverpool made the job a difficult one.

He said: "So I realised we had to change things inside, but I couldn't do it straight away because I was a former Red and it could be seen as 'oh, he's come in to change our club'."

It was no surprise, therefore, when the manager was given the boot from the club in January last year.

The Toffees would go on a torrid run under the reign of the Spanish head coach, only winning one match between matchday seven and matchday twenty-two of the Premier League season.

Shortlisted names to take over from the unpopular figure were former Toffees players Wayne Rooney and Duncan Ferguson who was already with Everton, whilst rumours surrounding Frank Lampard would come true with the ex-Chelsea man appointed.

Yet, another fancied name on the shortlist could well have been the uplifting appointment Everton needed at the time; Graham Potter.

Did Everton almost appoint Graham Potter?

According to The Argus, Potter's name appeared on the Toffees shortlist for a new manager after Benitez's exit.

Everton would have hoped to tempt Potter away from Brighton to join Everton at the time, Brighton and Hove Albion absolutely flying when the rumours began to surface.

It wasn't to materialise however, a story of what could have been for the Merseyside club who continued to struggle under the short-term tenure of caretaker manager Ferguson and then Lampard after him.

How good was Potter at Brighton?

Potter would stay with the Seagulls and achieve unprecedented success for the club, finishing ninth in the Premier League during the 2021/22 season – shrugging off any outside noise linking him with a move away to clinch Brighton's best-ever top-flight finish at the time.

The 48-year-old would win plaudits for the attractive football he made his Brighton sides play, getting the best out of his talents which included Alexis Mac Allister, Neal Maupay and Leandro Trossard.

It would lead to Potter joining Chelsea at the start of the 2022/23 season, the Blues poaching the ex-Swansea City boss from the Seagulls having been labelled a "genius" for his exploits on the south coast.

Whilst Brighton have gone on leaps and bounds with their next manager in Roberto De Zerbi – European football now being played with Ansu Fati even playing for the Seagulls now – Potter's reputation took a battering as Chelsea manager.

He would leave Stamford Bridge with a mere 12 wins from 31 games played, a bruising experience for the man who enjoyed so much success with Brighton before leaving for London.

Could his career have turned out differently if he opted to join Everton? Could he have been the heroic manager Everton needed in their time of crisis after Benitez's exit from the club?

All those questions are up in the air, but Everton fans certainly wouldn't have minded Potter joining the club at the time. If his record against Dyche speaks for anything, he's certainly better tactically, boasting an 85% win record from seven matches.

Tottenham Hotspur have excited both neutrals this season and supporters alike with their new brand of football under likeable Austrailan head coach Ange Postecoglou, sitting top of the tree in the Premier League after a Monday night 2-0 victory over London rivals, Fulham.

This has all been achieved despite the backdrop of Harry Kane leaving N17 behind for Bavaria, Tottenham's all-time top scorer with 278 strikes and main talisman joining Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich for £86.4m to break the hearts of Spurs fans everywhere.

Tottenham have recuperated the funds that they got for their departing superstar into significantly improving their squad to the standards they're currently operating at, buying the likes of James Maddison, Pedro Porro and Micky van de Ven who have all slotted into the first team effortlessly.

The Lilywhites have also bought a number of promising talents with an eye on the future, 20-year-old Alejio Veliz purchased from his native Argentina after netting 19 goals in 63 starts for former club CA Rosario Central.

How is Alejo Veliz performing this season?

Nowhere near the standard to replace the out-going Kane just yet, Veliz is certainly a prospect to watch out for under the guidance of Postecoglou who has gifted his new Argentine striker fleeting opportunities to impress so far this season.

He has featured in only ten minutes of football for Spurs so far in the Premier League, substituted on at the death in wins versus Liverpool and Luton Town.

The young attacker was allowed to get more minutes under his belt in Tottenham's EFL Trophy tie away at Colchester United, playing for 28 minutes in Essex in a side more focused on youth.

Veliz's time will come to become a permanent fixture in the Spurs starting line-up with the attacker still but Tottenham could have a natural heir to Kane away from new additions in the form of young Irish prodigy Troy Parrott, who has been with Spurs since 2017.

Who is Troy Parrott?

Parrott has been in and around the Tottenham youth ranks ever since departing Belvedere FC in his birthplace of Dublin, impressing numerous times away from Spurs out on loan.

Labelled as "phenomenal" in terms of his work rate by ex manager Ryan Lowe amid his stint at Preston North End, Spurs have a real talent on their hands if he is nurtured correctly.

He's in fantastic form for his current loan club Excelsior Rotterdam out in the Netherlands, scoring three goals from six contests even without starting a game yet for the Eredivisie outfit.

He could go close to eclipsing his best loan goal total if he continues this blistering start, scoring ten times from 47 appearances when he was on loan at Milton Keynes Dons during the 2021-22 season.

Parrott has been the definition of clinical ever since embarking on his latest loan adventure, needing only one shot in his side's last contest versus PEC Zwolle, as per Sofascore, to impose himself into the contest – scoring a matter of moments after being introduced, shades of Kane's deadliness in-front of goal arguably present.

After this loan spell in the Dutch first division, Tottenham will no doubt have a look at the 6 foot 1 attacker and Postecoglou could well believe he's ready for a first team berth at Spurs after maturing and refining his game away from the club.

The aforementioned Veliz may be the name on everyone's lips at present, yet Parrott could well be want to watch this season and beyond.

Sri Lanka’s coach also held the selection door open for Lasith Malinga, provided he plays domestic cricket and proves he can still bowl and field at the top level

Andrew Fidel Fernando11-Aug-2018

Danushka Gunathilaka, Jeffrey Vandersay and Lasith Malinga – three players currently out of favour with the cricket establishment – could all find their way back into the Sri Lanka team. So says coach Chandika Hathurusingha who, albeit not a selector, exerts substantial influence in selection decisions. Like captain Angelo Mathews and batting coach Thilan Samaraweera, Hathurusingha believes Sri Lanka are yet to identify the “combination” of players that will take them into the World Cup in 2019, and the World T20 the following year, and has said spots remain open for these three, so long as they sharpen up.Gunathilaka, of course, has committed the most serious offence, breaking curfew on a Test-match night last month, and as a result was suspended for the entire limited-overs leg of the South Africa series. Vandersay briefly went missing after a night out in St Lucia in June (though at least in his case, he was allowed to be out that night), and received a hefty fine and was put on probation as a consequence. The official team stance on such conduct is that it is not tolerated, with Mathews delivering an especially stern public rebuke to Gunathilaka. But that does not mean these two players are out forever, Hathurusingha said.”I am very disappointed that these kinds of things happened,” Hathurusingha said of Gunathilaka and Vandersay’s indiscipline. “But at the same time this has been something that has been happening in the past. Our culture is so different. We don’t tolerate this. It is not that he is letting down one person or two persons; he is letting down the whole team and his family. At the same time, people do mistakes. We need to give them second chance. They have not done a crime. It is just the team rules that they have broken. They will be back.”Malinga, meanwhile, was not considered for ODI selection because he did not play in the provincial one-day tournament earlier this year; he spent that time working as a bowling consultant in the IPL instead. Though he played in one domestic T20 tournament earlier this year, and finished as joint-top wicket-taker, he was overlooked for selection for the forthcoming one-off T20 against South Africa on Tuesday. But with another, more competive domestic T20 tournament set to begin in August, Malinga has another chance to prove himself.”As long as what the selectors want is fulfilled, Malinga is in our plans,” Hathurusingha said. “He needs to come and play domestic cricket and we are not going to make exceptions for anybody. The team is number one. The team culture has to be protected. We are not treating him differently. He is a quality player. He needs to show that he is capable of delivering what he has done in the past. Not only with bowling, but fielding as well. There’s a good opportunity for him to come and play the domestic T20 tournament if he is willing to play. If he is performing he is in our plans.”Malinga had been substantially below his best when he last played international cricket, but the absence of a good death bowler has been felt by the team, who have lost over 70 per cent of the limited-overs matches they have played since the start of 2017. That awful record has prompted a change in strategy, whereby Sri Lanka have decided to prepare batting-friendly pitches at home in order to prime themselves for the kinds of tracks they will encounter elsewhere in the world. Ahead of the final ODI against South Africa, Hathurusingha described this change of tack as a no-brainer.”When you play 36 matches and win only nine, it is not a tough call at all to change strategy,” he said. “It is common sense. It is looking at what we have been doing and seeing it’s not working. We have scored more than 300 only a handful of times if my memory serves right. We realized what we need to do. It is not only about the World Cup, it is about whatever we have been doing is not working.”

أجرى لامين يامال لاعب برشلونة وإسبانيا مقابلة مطولة، تحدث خلالها عن كأس أمم أوروبا “يورو 2024″، ورقمه الجديد مع ناديه بعد تسجيله في الفريق الأول.

وتحدث يامال عن تشافي مدرب برشلونة السابق وتأثيره عليه، كما علّق على تصريحات لاعب فرنسا أدريان رابيو.

ونشرت صحيفة “سبورت” و”موندو ديبورتيفو” الإسبانية تصريحات يامال في مقابلته مع جيرارد روميرو.

وقال يامال: “لا يهمني الرقم، طالما ألعب… فيتور روكي لديه الرقم 19، سأختار الرقم الذي لا يملكه أحد، لا أعتقد أن أي شخص لديه الرقم 17 لأن ماركوس ألونسو رحل”.

ومع كون الرقم 10 شاغرًا والذي يملكه أنسو فاتي المحتمل رحيله، أفاد: “لقد عرفته منذ لا ماسيا، وأعتبره صديقًا وآمل أن يتمكن من البقاء معنا”.

وعن الأنباء المتداولة بشأن فوزه بجائزة الفتى الذهبي، أكد يامال: “لم أكن أعلم بشأن جائزة الفتى الذهبي، آمل أن أتمكن من الفوز بأكبر قدر ممكن، لكنني أفضل الفوز بدوري أبطال أوروبا”.

وعن المدرب الذي أثر فيه، رد يامال: “أعتقد أن تشافي، لأنه هو من ضمني للفريق الأول، وثق بي، جعلني أبدأ ضد بيتيس، أعتقد أنه هو من أعطاني الثقة”.

وفيما يتعلق بكأس أمم أوروبا، وما فعله بعد الفوز أمام فرنسا، أوضح: “بعد المباراة ضد فرنسا، أول شيء فعلته هو النوم والراحة، لحسن الحظ أنني تمكنت من ذلك، في اليوم التالي أجبت على جميع الرسائل”.

وتابع: “في نهاية المباراة ضد فرنسا، رأيت اسم لامين على جميع الملاحظات على إنستجرام، أدركت أن الناس كانوا سعداء ودعموني، أحاول الاستمتاع بالأمر وعدم التفكير في الضغط”.

وسُئل يامال عن تصريحات أدريان رابيو، لاعب فرنسا الذي صرح قبل المباراة: “إذا أراد لامين يامال أن يلعب نهائي اليورو مع إسبانيا، فعليه أن يلعب ضدنا بصورة أفضل، سنضغط عليه كي لا يشعر بالراحة”.

وعلّق يامال: “لم أتحدث مطلقًا مع رابيو، لا قبل ولا بعد المباراة، لقد ركزت على المباراة النهائية وأعطيت أهمية لذلك”.

كما تحدث عن زميله في إسبانيا وبرشلونة، جافي، الذي يتعافى من إصابة الرباط الصليبي، واستطرد: “آمل أن يأتي جافي يوم الأحد، إنه جزء من هذا”.

ويزداد الحديث عن انضمام نيكو ويليامز إلى برشلونة هذا الموسم، ولم يخف يامال رغبته في اللعب إلى جانبه، إلا أنه رفض الاعتراف بأي مساع لإقناعه بالانضمام.

وأوضح: “نيكو ويليامز إلى برشلونة؟ ليس لدي أي علاقة به، لكني أتمنى أن ألعب معه”.

وأكد: “أنا ونيكو سنحتفل بعيد ميلاده من خلال الذهاب للنزهة بعد الظهر، والتأكد من أنه مرتاح، وإذا فزنا عندما نصل إلى مدريد سأمنحه شيئًا”.

وسُئل هل ستمنحه قميصًا، وأجاب في ختام حديثه: “نعم قميص”.

Cria da base do Botafogo e com passagens pelo Cruzeiro, Bahia e com experiência no futebol português, turco e japonês, Allano começou o ano com cinco gols nas suas dez primeiras partidas pelo CSA e com um ano promissor. Porém, com a eliminação precoce na Copa do Brasil contra o Vitória-ES e o título do estadual ficando com o rival CRB, ‘fake news’ sobre o atleta foram criadas.

Uma delas que ele teria pedido para sair do clube após uma derrota. Apesar de nunca ter se pronunciado sobre tal assunto, o meia percebeu que a notícia falsa te prejudicou com a torcida.

– Foram fatos sem prova e sempre me coloquei à disposição para falar de qualquer assunto. Se realmente quisesse sair, poderia pegar minhas coisas e me despedir de todos. Lamento apenas que alguns torcedores tenham acreditado em tudo que vem por aí. Mas isso passou e estou muito focado em ajudar o time a conseguir o acesso – garantiu.

Com contrato de empréstimo o até janeiro, Allano não tem a permanência garantida na próxima temporada na equipe alagoana, mas o jogador não esconde também o desejo de voltar atuar na Europa no futuro.

– Quero voltar um dia para o exterior, ainda mais porque acabei de ter minha segunda filha, quero que ela tenha as mesmas lembranças quando crescer que a irmã dela vai ter. Poder sair sem de preocupar com o perigo constate que no Brasil tem, dentre outras coisas. É uma outra cultura, outro idioma que podem aprender também. São detalhes que me atraem, mas não fico pensando nisso no momento – afirmou.

Reserva do CSA, Allano quando teve oportunidades conseguiu corresponder dentro de campo com gols e assistências. Apesar do atual momento individual, o meia garante estar preparado para atuar e ajudar a equipe.

– Continuo trabalhando como sempre trabalhei firme e forte. Não basta só estar bem em campo, o jogador para render tem que estar bem em todos os sentidos e eu me sinto pronto para contribuir com a equipe. Ser aquele Allano que todos viram no início do ano – concluiu.

The ODI series will count towards the Women’s Championship, which will determine the automatic qualifiers for the Women’s World Cup 2021

The Sri Lanka women’s team is set to host India for three ODIs and five T20Is in September.The Indian team are expected to arrive in Sri Lanka on September 7, with the first two ODIs set to take place in Galle on the September 11 and 13. The teams will then travel to Katunayake for the final ODI and the first T20I, on September 16 and 19 respectively. The next three T20Is will be played in Colombo at the Colts Cricket Club grounds, before the action returns to Katunayake for the final match on September 25.The ODI leg of the tour will count towards the Women’s Championship, which will determine the three automatic qualifiers – apart from the hosts New Zealand – for the Women’s World Cup 2021.India, who are currently two places above eighth-placed Sri Lanka on the Women’s Championship points table, come into the tour on the back of a 2-1 win against England in the ODIs at home, while Sri Lanka have lost their last two 50-over series 3-0 – away to West Indies and at home to Pakistan.There is no question that India begin as favourites, having lost just one of 26 ODIs against Sri Lanka. The home side fair only marginally better in the shortest format against this opposition, with three wins in 12 T20Is. Last time the two sides met in a bilateral series was in 2016 in India, when Sri Lanka were whitewashed 3-0 in both the ODI as well as T20I series.

Racing e Flamengo protagonizaram uma partida tensa, cheia de possibilidades de um placar mais elástico, mas o empate em 1 a 1 no Estádio El Cilindro, em Buenos Aires, deixou tudo em aberto para a volta das oitavas da Libertadores. Fertoli inaugurou o placar para os mandantes, Gabriel Barbosa respondeu aos 14 minutos do primeiro tempo. E parou por aí, mas não por falta de tentativa. Os mandantes tiveram dois gols anulados e o Fla um, todos acertadamente. No fim da partida, o Rubro-Negro se segurou após a expulsão de Thuler aos 36 minutos do 2º tempo.

Com o resultado, o time de Rogério Ceni recebe o Racing na próxima terça-feira, no Maracanã, com uma pequena vantagem: o empate de 0 a 0 garante o Rubro-Negro nas quartas de final da Copa por conta do gol marcado fora de casa. Quem vencer, avança, por sua vez, enquanto um novo empate em 1 a 1 levará a decisão por pênaltis. Qualquer outro empate serve ao time argentino.

RACING EXPLORA FRAGILIDADE DO FLA, QUE RESPONDE COM GABIGOL
​
Animado por contar com Everton Ribeiro, Arrascaeta, Bruno Henrique e Gabriel Barbosa iniciando uma partida juntos após três meses, o Flamengo se viu com um problema ainda no aquecimento: Isla, com dores na coxa direita, não foi a campo e Rogério Ceni optou por improvisar Renê na lateral direita. Como era de se esperar, a troca fez o time perder ofensividade por aquele lado. Everton Ribeiro, que costuma fazer boa dupla com o chileno, não teve o apoio de Renê.

O maior problema do Rubro-Negro, contudo, foi o mesmo das últimas partidas; a insegurança e as falhas defensivas. Ciente disso, o Racing começou exercendo forte pressão na saída de bola, especialmente em cima de Léo Pereira e Thuler. O início foi problemático para o Flamengo, que viu Fertoli abrir o placar aos 12.

O meia Fabrício Domínguez, aposta certeira de Beccacece para o jogo, deixou Filipe Luís e Gerson para trás e, no vacilo geral da zaga, o camisa 7 do Racing apareceu livre na pequena área para fazer 1 a 0. Diego Alves também vacilou, deixando o espaço entre o seu corpo e a primeira trave, onde a bola passou.

A resposta do Flamengo foi imediata, em lance que fez o torcedor rubro-negro lembrar dos grandes momentos vividos na última temporada. Bruno Henrique arrancou pela esquerda, deixou o marcador para trás e cruzou para Gabigol na área. O camisa 9 não teve dificuldades para empurrar a bola para as redes: 1 a 1 aos 14 minutos. O Racing não conseguiu manter a pressão por todo o tempo, mas seguiu encontrando espaços e foi para o intervalo com mais finalizações (7 a 3), mas, em chutes certos, houve igualdade. Por um lado, Lisandro López fez Diego Alves ir ao chão em cabeçada ao gol, enquanto Bruno Henrique acertou a trave.

SEGUNDO TEMPO DE GOLS ANULADOS
​
O início da segunda etapa foi como o da primeira: Racing marcando o rival em seu campo de ataque. Contudo, o time de Beccacece “trocou de lado”, percebendo a dificuldade de Renê em fechar a linha de fundo com o pé direito. Aos cinco minutos, em dois cruzamentos de Mena, Lisandro López já havia tido um gol anulado (por falta em Everton Ribeiro) e perdido outra chance clara. Nos dois lances, Léo Pereira e Thuler não conseguiram interceptar os passes.

Pelo Flamengo, quem levou perigo à meta de Arias foi Vitinho, que entrou no lugar de Gabigol aos 11. Contudo, o camisa 11 estava impedido nos dois lances: no primeiro, serviu Arrascaeta que chegou a balançar a rede; no segundo, o goleiro argentino fez boa defesa e espalmou para escanteio, mas já não valia.

A partir dos 25, o Racing aparentou sentir o cansaço. O Flamengo, com maior participação de Everton Ribeiro, Arrascaeta e Vitinho, passou a dominar as ações ofensivas, mas seguiu vacilando lá atrás. O time argentino chegou a marcar o segundo gol, mas impedimento foi assinalado pelo juiz corretamente.

Com a expulsão de Thuler, após revisão no vídeo, Rogério Ceni entendeu que o empate em 1 a 1 estava de bom tamanho, e o Flamengo valorizou o resultado – e o tempo, com três trocas – a partir dos 35, e o Racing não foi capaz de criar mais.
