مجموعة مصر في كأس العالم تحت 17 عامًا

أسفرت قرعة منافسات بطولة كأس العالم تحت 17 عامًا، التي أقيمت في قطر، عن تواجد منتخب مصر للناشئين في مجموعة قوية، وذلك ضمن منافسات البطولة المرتقبة التي ستقام خلال الفترة من 3 إلى 27 نوفمبر المقبل بمشاركة 48 منتخبًا لأول مرة في تاريخ البطولة. 

وكان منتخب مصر تحت 17 عامًا قد تأهل إلى النهائيات العالمية بعد مشوار صعب في بطولة كأس الأمم الإفريقية، حيث حجز بطاقة العبور بعدما أنهى دور المجموعات في المركز الثالث، ليُكافأ بمقعد في كأس العالم، ويعود لتمثيل القارة السمراء في هذا المحفل العالمي.

وكشف الاتحاد الدولي لكرة القدم “فيفا” عن التصنيف الرسمي للمنتخبات المشاركة في البطولة، حيث جاء منتخب مصر في المستوى الرابع، وهو ما وضعه في مواجهة منتخبات من العيار الثقيل في مرحلة المجموعات. ويتكوّن المستوى الرابع أيضًا من منتخبات الإمارات، البرتغال، التشيك، جمهورية أيرلندا، سويسرا، زامبيا، أوغندا، بوليفيا، السعودية، السلفادور، وفيجي.

أما المستوى الأول فضم منتخبات قطر (البلد المنظم)، البرازيل، فرنسا، مالي، ألمانيا، المكسيك، الأرجنتين، إنجلترا، اليابان، باراجواي، أمريكا، والسنغال. فيما تواجدت منتخبات كوريا الجنوبية والمغرب وإيطاليا وبلجيكا وغيرها في المستوى الثاني، بينما ضم المستوى الثالث منتخبات مثل كوستا ريكا وكوت ديفوار وتونس وأستراليا.

ووفقًا لما أعلنه “فيفا”، فقد تم توزيع المنتخبات على أربعة أوعية، كل وعاء يضم منتخبات من نفس التصنيف، ليُسحب منها بالتوالي لتكوين 12 مجموعة، على ألا تضم المجموعة الواحدة أكثر من منتخبين من نفس الاتحاد القاري، ما يعزز من التنوع الجغرافي في دور المجموعات. مجموعة مصر في كأس العالم تحت 17 عامًا

Retiring Rachael Haynes sees more change ahead

“There is definitely an element of sadness, but I know I am ready for a new challenge”

AAP17-Nov-2022The retiring Rachael Haynes expects the next generation of women’s cricketers will bowl faster, have more T20 specialists and face greater challenges around workload than any era before.Some 17 years after her domestic debut for Victoria, Haynes will play her final two matches for the Sydney Thunder on Friday night and Sunday at North Sydney Oval.In doing so, she will bring to an end the second-longest career in men’s or women’s cricket in Australia, with only Sydney Sixers veteran Nicole Bolton playing longer.Haynes’ retirement in many ways signals the end of an era. When she debuted for Victoria there were no contracts and the sport was still in the amateur era before its current status of full professionalism. The 35-year-old has also seen the game evolve, pointing to the introduction of the WBBL in 2015-16 as the biggest step on the field.Related

“That was a point when on-field things really changed and we had this rapid change and evolution of people’s games,” Haynes said. “And their style and execution of things.”If you had of said to me as an 18-year-old, in 15 years time this is how the game will look, I wouldn’t have believed you.”But as for what’s ahead?”This next generation will have a different challenge around playing commitments,” she said. “The volume of cricket which is something we have pushed for for so long, there are lots of different opportunities.”It is really exciting for the game but perhaps people becoming more focused on different formats. We’ve already seen in terms of pace bowling just how many layers there are to that.”I know Cricket NSW have a project they are looking to partner with UNSW around how to crack that 130km/h mark. People are already thinking about that on how we can have a point of difference about how we can help players improve more.”More immediately, Haynes said her own impending retirement had hit her properly for the first time this week.She has been sent photos of her debuts by her mother, but has no second thoughts on her decision to walk away from cricket after this weekend.After 167 games for Australia, 3818 runs, five World Cup wins and a Commonwealth Games gold, she wants to remain in the sport in some form but is undecided if it will be in coaching or administration.”There is definitely an element of sadness, but I know I am ready for a new challenge and it is the right time,” Haynes said. “I’ve got no doubt I’ll be a little emotional after the game on Sunday and probably during it too.”

O técnico Dorival Júnior utilizará o telão do Ninho do Urubu,que foi adquirido pelo Flamengo durante a Era Paulo Sousa. Na coletiva de imprensa desta quarta-feira, após a vitória por 2 a 0 sobre o Cuiabá pelo Brasileirão, Dorival, inclusive, revelou que havia pedido uma pequena TV quando treinava o Rubro-Negro em 2018 para auxiliar os treinamentos.

– Agora, estamos chegando praticamente ainda no meio de um pequeno turbilhão aí, tentando conhecer tudo o que o clube tem nos apresentado, nos estruturamos um pouco mais dentro da própria cidade, dentro do próprio clube para que a partir daí sim. E estamos sendo muito bem assessorados, o trabalho do Juan e do Fábio fizeram com que, rapidamente, tudo aquilo que esteja a nossa volta tenha sido colocado à nossa disposição.

Outra herança da Era Paulo Sousa no Flamengo são os jantares no estádio após o jogo. No entanto, Dorival revelou que já tinha essa prática em outros trabalhos. O treinador explicou que a prática é o processo inicial de uma recuperação para o jogo seguinte.

– Nós sempre fizemos em todas as equipes que passamos. Eu fiquei feliz em saber que aqui dentro estava sendo feito com todos os problemas e dificuldades de estarmos fora do nosso habitat, ou seja, da nossa concentração, do nosso centro de treinamento. Mesmo com a distância e nem tendo tudo facilitado, o Flamengo ainda encontrou um caminho. Isso é um processo inicial de uma recuperação já para o jogo seguinte.

Hutchinson 2.0: Ipswich can replace Enciso with 20 y/o who studied at Eton

Not everything was rosy come the full-time whistle for Ipswich Town away at Aston Villa last weekend, with Julio Enciso’s injury against Unai Emery’s men looking rather serious.

Unfortunately, the Paraguayan attacking midfielder would look visibly emotional when having to hobble off the pitch after just 17 minutes, with a knee injury suffered by the loanee in the same knee that had required surgery when back at parent employers Brighton and Hove Albion.

Julio Enciso

Whilst everyone at Portman Road waits with bated breath over how severe of a setback this might be – amid claims that he is set for a spell on the sidelines – Kieran McKenna will be tasked with placing someone else into his XI up next down the left flank with some options at his disposal.

McKenna's attacking alternatives

Enciso was also of use to McKenna away from just bolstering the left-hand side of his team, with the South American also offering Ipswich another body capable of playing as a number ten alongside Omari Hutchinson.

Without Enciso, the popular Ipswich manager will have to put his faith in alternative faces, with Jack Clarke the preferred option off the bench last time out in the unfortunate 21-year-old’s place.

The ex-Sunderland man has shown flashes of his brilliance this season – with two assists coming his way in the Premier League – but he failed to spark into life against the Villans, having also been hauled off when the Tractor Boys were reduced to ten men.

There are also the likes of Sammie Szmodics and Nathan Broadhead who McKenna could throw into action here, alongside flashy new recruit Jaden Philogene-Bidace.

However, both Szmodics and Broadhead have battled with their own injury issues so far this season, whilst Philogene remained rooted to the bench at Villa Park having endured three goalless games so far in Suffolk.

Therefore, the Northern Irishman could be prepared to think outside of the box to fill in for Enciso, with this 20-year-old gem in question having the potential to be the club’s next Hutchinson.

Ipswich's wildcard Enciso replacement

The unconventional route explored by McKenna here could see him look towards the U21 squad as one unusual star continues to stick out.

Indeed, not every footballer attempting to cut their teeth in the men’s game has an Eton-based education to hand, but that is the case when it comes to 20-year-old prospect Tudor Mendel-Idowu.

Mendel-Idowu has since walked away from the Blues to take up a new opportunity at Ipswich – via a fresh adventure out in Belgium with Anderlecht – with the exciting attacker making a name for himself in recent U21 contests in Suffolk.

Having fired home 13 strikes from 35 U18 appearances at Chelsea, Mendel-Idowu has now taken to the U21 fold at Ipswich swimmingly, with plenty of strikes coming his way across his side’s past few Professional Development League encounters.

Across his side’s last six games, Mendel-Idowu – who U23 scout Antonio Mango claimed has “electrifying acceleration” and “fearless charisma” – has positively had an impact on both victories being secured with three goals next to his name.

Therefore, there will be a hope on the 20-year-old’s end that he can follow in fellow Chelsea academy graduate Hutchinson’s footsteps soon, with the 21-year-old going on to be a shining light in the senior ranks at Ipswich by picking up two goals and two assists this season in league action, having also left Stamford Bridge behind.

Capable of playing down both wings and in the number ten spot – much like Enciso – time will only tell if McKenna is willing to gamble on the promising youngster to come good or whether he’ll stick with what he currently has.

مدرب صن داونز يتفاخر رغم خسارة اللقب أمام بيراميدز: أطحنا بـ الأهلي

عبر ميجيل كاردوسو، المدير الفني لنادي ماميلودي صن داونز، عن فخره الكبير بأداء فريقه، رغم الخسارة أمام بيراميدز في نهائي دوري أبطال إفريقيا 2024-2025، مساء الأحد.

وخسر صن داونز بنتيجة 2-1 في لقاء الإياب، ليُتوج بيراميدز باللقب الأول في تاريخه بعد تفوقه في مجموع المباراتين 3-2.

ورغم خيبة الأمل، شدد كاردوسو على أن فريقه قدم أداءً استثنائيًا في البطولة، وأطاح بكبار القارة في طريقه نحو النهائي.

وقال كاردوسو عقب اللقاء في المؤتمر الصحفي: “أود أن أُذكر الجميع أننا في طريقنا إلى النهائي واجهنا الأهلي، الذي ما زال يتصدر تصنيف الأندية الإفريقية، وتغلبنا عليه في نصف النهائي، كما لعبنا ضد الترجي، المصنف ثانيًا، وتغلبنا عليه أيضًا”.

وأشار المدرب البرتغالي إلى أن الفريق تجاوز تحديات عديدة منذ بداية المسابقة، قائلًا: “عندما وصلت إلى صن داونز، كان الفريق يعاني لتجاوز دور المجموعات في دوري أبطال إفريقيا، خضنا مواجهة قوية جدًا منذ البداية أمام الرجاء البيضاوي، في مجموعة صعبة ضمت أيضًا الجيش الملكي، ورغم ذلك، نجحنا في التأهل من تلك المجموعة”.

وأشاد كاردوسو بلاعبيه: “طوال البطولة، أظهر لاعبونا التزامًا عاليًا، وروحًا قوية، وجودة فنية كبيرة، ووصولهم إلى النهائي يجعلني فخورًا جدًا”.

ورغم مرارة الخسارة، أكّد مدرب صن داونز أن الفريق سيعود أقوى، حيث قال: “الإحساس بعدم الفوز في نهائي مؤلم ومرير للغاية، لكن كما قلت قبل المباراة، لدي مجموعة رائعة من اللاعبين في غرفة الملابس، يعانون الآن، لكنهم سينهضون من جديد كما يفعل الأبطال الحقيقيون”.

"طرد بعد هدف باليد".. مشهد درامي ونهاية حزينة لـ مشوار نيمار مع سانتوس البرازيلي

شهدت مباراة سانتوس الأخيرة مشهدًا دراميًا لجناح الفريق، نيمار، الذي قد يكون ودع النادي البرازيلي بها، بعد طرده في مواجهة بوتافوجو إثر هدف سجله بيده.

وعاد نيمار بعد غياب شهر بسبب إصابة متكررة، لكنه تلقى البطاقة الصفراء الثانية بسبب لمسة اليد، ما أدى إلى طرده وتأثر فريقه الذي خسر 0-1.

بعد المباراة، قال نيمار عبر حسابه في وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي: “اليأس من التسجيل أحيانًا يدفعنا لارتكاب أخطاء، أعتذر لزملائي والجماهير، ارتكبت خطأ، سامحوني”.

وأضاف: “لو لم أُطرد اليوم، لكنا بالتأكيد حصلنا على النقاط الثلاث، الفريق يستحق التهنئة على الأداء، يمكنكم تحميلي ضياع هذه النقاط”.

وعن التحكيم، انتقد نيمار قائلاً: “كنت أستحق الإنذار الثاني، لكن الحكم سخر مني عندما منحني الأول، هناك حكام سيئون، هذا مجرد رأيي، أرجوكم لا تعاقبوني بهذه الطريقة مرة أخرى”.

عقد نيمار مع سانتوس ينتهي في 30 يونيو، ولا يزال مستقبله غامضًا، مع احتمال ألا يستمر بعد هذه النهاية المثيرة للجدل.

Aston Villa now plotting summer swoop for "special" £55m Portuguese prodigy

Taking their battle against Europe’s elite away from the pitch and into the transfer market, Aston Villa are now reportedly plotting a move to sign a rising star who has a release clause worth £55m.

Aston Villa transfer news

The Villans aren’t afraid of being bold in the transfer market these days and Jhon Duran’s big-money departure ensured that they’ve got the funds to match that approach. In what could just be a sign of things to come, those in the Midlands welcomed Marcus Rashford, Marco Asensio and Axel Disasi on loan in the January transfer window – stealing plenty of headlines.

Currently sat eighth in the Premier League, Aston Villa will be hoping to see their fresh faces make an instant impact in pursuit of back-to-back Champions League qualification.

Meanwhile, away from the action, they’re far from done on the transfer front and may well look to welcome some permanent reinforcements in place of their loanees this summer.

Aston Villa enter race for "world class" £247k-p/w star who Emery rates

The Villa boss is interested in signing a defender who he believes could become a key player.

ByDominic Lund Feb 12, 2025

According to Caught Offside, Aston Villa are now plotting a move to sign Rodrigo Mora ahead of the likes of Real Madrid, Arsenal and Manchester United this summer. The Porto youngster reportedly has a £55m release clause, which could yet increase to £77m between now and 2027.

With that said, the Villans would be wise to make their move as soon as possible and avoid the increased price tag. At 17 years old, of course the deal wouldn’t be coming cheap at £55m, but Mora is a player worth investing in.

Rodrigo Mora for Porto.

A rising star, the attacking midfielder will undoubtedly be one to watch as the campaign progresses and he continues to steal plenty of positive headlines back in Portugal.

"Special" Mora is a rising star

The interest in Mora’s signature should come as little surprise. After all, at just 17 years old, he has scored four goals and assisted another three in all competitions for Porto this season. It should also come as no shock to see Villa plotting their move.

When Asensio bows out of his loan spell at the end of the season, Unai Emery should set his sights on a replacement and one who has the chance to star for years to come, which Mora looks destined to do.

Earning plenty of praise throughout the current campaign, football talent scout Jacek Kulig dubbed the teenager a “special talent” at the end of last year as he enjoyed a run of two goals and three assists in three games for Porto.

Aston Villa are certainly putting themselves in the right conversations – ones which have ended with transfer success as of late. Now, they could look to repeat that genius by signing a future star this summer.

Gill and Suryakumar sparkle before rain washes out stop-start Hamilton ODI

Only 12.5 overs were possible after New Zealand put India in

No result A stop-start day ended in victory for rain, with the Hamilton ODI washed out after only 12.5 overs of play. Suryakumar Yadav, with 34 off 25 balls, and Shubman Gill, with 45 off 42, entertained during an unbroken 66-run partnership off 46 deliveries, before the second rain interruption of the day killed all hopes of further action.The threat of rain loomed over Seddon Park when Kane Williamson inserted India, with overcast skies having already delayed the toss by 15 minutes. A drizzle began within three overs of their innings, as Shikhar Dhawan made another sedate start, and grew heavier in the fifth over, by which time Gill had hit two boundaries. The umpires called the players off the field with India at 22 for no loss.

Watch India’s tour of New Zealand, in India, live on Prime Video from November 18 to 30.

It was 2.53pm at the time, and on-and-off rain allowed a restart only at 6.40pm, with the match reduced to 29 overs a side. Dhawan made his intentions clear first ball after the restart, charging down to Tim Southee, only to fall the very next ball, miscuing a loft to mid-on off Matt Henry.Gill slapped Henry for a six over fine leg in the eighth over, even as the promoted Suryakumar struggled to get going at the other end, scoring only five runs off his first 11 balls. But he picked up pace the moment he ramped Lockie Ferguson off the last delivery of the ninth over. Williamson introduced spin in the next over in the form of Michael Bracewell, and Gill lofted him inside out over cover; when Mitchell Santner came on for the 11th, Suryakumar hit his first six, slog-sweeping the left-arm spinner over deep square leg.That was the first of three sixes, as he followed up by reverse-swatting Bracewell over backward point and bashing Ferguson over midwicket. Off what turned out to be the last ball of the contest, Suryakumar clipped Ferguson for four behind the wicket.Play was suspended at 7.21pm, and the match called off some 45 minutes later.The teams shared points as a result of the washout, with New Zealand taking a 1-0 lead into Wednesday’s third ODI in Christchurch.

Parceria no Botafogo? Veja jogadores sem espaço no Lyon, novo clube de John Textor

MatériaMais Notícias

‘Intercâmbios’ e transferências entre clubes parceiros são rotina para os times que pertencem a John Textor. Uma nova instituição chegou para somar nessa “rede mundial de talentos”, o Lyon, clube adquirido pelo norte-americano na última segunda-feira. O Botafogo, claro, também pode entrar no circuito em um futuro próximo.

Além do Alvinegro, Crystal Palace, da Premier League, RWD Molenbeek, da segunda divisão da Bélgica, e FC Florida, time de base dos Estados Unidos, também pertencem a John Textor.

O Botafogo, mesmo em pouco tempo no “circuito Textor”, já recebeu jogadores de clubes ‘co-irmãos’. Dylan Talero veio após se destacar no FC Florida, mesmo clube que NikoHämäläinen passou no começo da carreira. O boliviano Sebastian Joffre, que inicialmente veio para o time profissional mas desceu ao sub-23, veio do Crystal Palace. Darius Lewis foi outro que passou pelo processo e está no Alvinegro.

O Lyon, portanto, não deve fugir dessas “transações internas”. Seja para o time profissional ou na base, é improvável pensar que um jogador dos Gones não passará pelo radar do Botafogo na próxima janela de transferências.

O clube teve desempenho decepcionante em 2021-22. Oitavo colocado no Campeonato Francês e eliminado nas quartas de final da Liga Europa, o Lyon não vai disputar competições europeias na próxima temporada. O técnico Peter Bosz, apesar disso, recebeu um voto de confiança, mas deve promover mudanças no elenco – Alexandre Lacazette, ex-Arsenal, já foi anunciado.

O LANCE! mostra os jogadores da equipe que não tiveram e/ou podem perder espaço. Vale ressaltar que não há negociação, por enquanto, por nenhum dos jogadores citados.

Thiago Mendes (Volante, 30 anos): apesar de ter renovado o contrato até 2025 recentemente, tem o nome ligado a transferências de forma intensa – inclusive com o Flamengo. É um homem de confiança de Peter Bosz, mas o meio-campo é a posição mais disputada do Lyon.

Henrique (Lateral-esquerdo, 28 anos): cria do Vasco, o lateral-esquerdo não é a primeira opção de Bosz e foi reserva de Emerson Palmieri durante a temporada. O titular, contudo, vai retornar ao Chelsea-ING após empréstimo. O Botafogo, por sua vez, acabou de contratar Fernando Marçal para o setor.

Tino Kadewere (Atacante, 26 anos): primeira opção gringa, Kadewere é um atacante que atua pelos lados. Nascido em Zimbabue, o jogador de 26 anos teve 20 jogos na última temporada – a maior parte deles como reserva – e marcou um gol. Tem a velocidade como destaque.

Habib Keïta (Volante, 20 anos): criado nas bases do Lyon, o malinês é visto como uma promessa mas não tem espaço pela fartura de opções na posição. Seja como opção ao profissional ou base, o atleta entrou em campo apenas seis vezes na última temporada.

Ousseynou Ndiaye (Meia, 23 anos): o senegalês passou a temporada emprestado no Bourg-en-Bresse e deve ter o mesmo destino em um futuro próximo. É meia ofensivo e busca espaço para se desenvolver.

TVNZ is set to become the exclusive domestic broadcaster for all of New Zealand men’s and women’s international matches as well as the Super Smash from the beginning of 2023-24 home summer until the end of 2025-26 season. The move, according to an NZC media release, has come following Spark’s decision to exit the sports streaming market.The new deal with New Zealand’s largest free-to-air broadcaster will officially begin in July 2023, with the current home summer programme to be screened on Spark Sport and TVNZ. In addition to over 300 international and domestic cricket matches being screened live on a combination of TVNZ1 and Duke over the agreed three-year period, these fixtures will also be streamed on TVNZ+. Whisper, the production company, will continue to produce the matches for broadcast.The release also stated that the value of NZC’s media rights package has not changed.”Spark Sport has contributed significantly to the New Zealand sports environment, by introducing competition to the market, increasing the volume of cricket produced for broadcast, and implementing cutting-edge technology,” NZC chief executive David White said.”Notwithstanding the disappointment for Spark Sport, this is a very good outcome for the game of cricket in New Zealand. It safeguards the professional game; it safeguards the community game, and it provides unprecedented access for Kiwi cricket fans.”We’re delighted New Zealanders can look forward to this level of free-to-air coverage – it’s a game-changer for the sport in this country.”NZC had entered into a six-year deal with Spark Sport in 2019 to show all home cricket, ending a relationship with Sky that dates back to 1995, with a small amount of cricket broadcast on TVNZ.
