“"It's a sin to think badly of others, but you're often right," asserted a high-ranking politician like Giulio Andreotti, echoing a maxim of Pope Pius XI. And how could we not believe Manchester United sinned against the player they had their eye on, José Ederson, promising him Albion fame and a generous salary, and against Atalanta, who nurtured him and made him a key player in midfield, and with whom the terms of the transfer had been finalized. Questioning his fitness, a month after the agreement was reached (€45 million fixed fee plus bonuses),...

The benches decided the fate of Spain and Belgium, as they battled for a spot in the World Cup semifinals. Belgium's side, who had responded to Fabian Ruiz's opener late in the first half through De Ketelaere, changed midway through the second half when goalkeeper Courtois was forced off injured. Courtois's departure deprived Belgium of the bulwark that prevented De La Fuente's team from running wild. His replacement, Senne Lammens, failed to block a less-than-perfect shot from…

A kaleidoscope of emotions between Argentina and Egypt, with the world champions trailing by two goals midway through the second half and turning around a match that featured Mostafa Shobeir as the star of the first 45 minutes, saving a Lionel Messi penalty and making surprising saves from a series of shots. Egypt had taken a surprise lead in the quarter-hour with a Yasser Ibrahim header, but then came under pressure and threatened from the Albiceleste, who came close to equalizing even when Messi's free kick hit the post. After…

Two goals from Haaland in the final ten minutes of regulation time brought Ancelotti's Brazil to their knees, leaving the World Cup in a slump, exiting in the round of 16, just as they had done forty years ago in Mexico, but at the hands of Maradona's Argentina. The Viking striker was simply monstrous, first rising to head the ball into the net in the penalty area, then firing a left-footed shot from a standing position, looping it through Danilo's legs and into the bottom corner, out of reach of Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson. The Brazilian team missed a penalty in the opening minutes of the game through Guimares, the…

ROME - The World Cup continues to be dominated by Lionel Messi. The Argentine champion opened the scoring in the tough match against Cape Verde, which, in its own way, made history despite being eliminated. Messi scored his seventh goal in four games, collecting a long ball into the box from Lisandro Martinez and controlling the ball with a masterful touch before slotting it past the Cape Verdean goalkeeper. The Argentine ace's opening goal, equaling his tally for the 2022 edition in Qatar, was answered by Deroy Duarte, who collected a…

Belgium and the United States have earned their place in the round of 16 and will meet in Seattle. The Red Devils staged an incredible comeback, trailing 2-0 against Senegal with 10 minutes remaining. They were able to push the match into extra time, where they converted a penalty to make it 3-2. The Stars and Stripes, leading at halftime thanks to a defensive blunder by Bosnia and Herzegovina, found themselves a man down midway through the second half but managed to maintain their advantage, doubling their lead...

Kane saves England and ends DR Congo's dreams

Congo had already written its history by qualifying for the round of 32. England dreams of repeating the World Cup glory of sixty years ago. But it was the Africans who opened the scoring after just seven minutes against the English Lions. For the rest of the first half, they were held up against a wall of Congolese defense, particularly the goalkeeper, who did well to deny Harry Kane before halftime. Kane scored twice in the final 15 minutes, decisive in securing the team's advancement. In short, England suffered a scare that lasted until the half-hour mark. There's...

Jannik Sinner opens Wimbledon with a five-set victory

Jannik Sinner, Miomir Kecmanovic, Wimbledon

It took Jannik Sinner over three and a half hours of play to secure his first-round victory at Wimbledon. His opening match on Centre Court against Miomir Kecmanovic was decided in the fifth set. It was a close and hard-fought match, despite the 31 aces on the scoreboard, as his opponent gave it his all, winning the first set 4-6. Sinner responded immediately, only needing a break to level the score (6-3). In the third set, Sinner played a tie-break, taking a 3-0 lead but then immediately succumbed to a comeback from his opponent…

Amorim for AC Milan's and personal relaunch, Juric to Monza

AC Milan has decided to focus on another Portuguese manager. The choice fell on Ruben Amorim, who, after a successful stint with Sporting Lisbon, didn't fare as well at Manchester United, where he was fired last January. This, then, is an opportunity to relaunch the position where Fonseca and Canceão previously managed. A three-year contract worth €3.5 million per season is being discussed. Monza, after regaining Serie A with Paolo Bianco, is targeting Ivan Juric, coming off two poor seasons, starting with his dismissal from Roma and...
