BERLIN - A future European Super League could include as many as 80 teams, Bernd Reichart, the chief executive of A22 Sports Management, a company formed to sponsor and assist in the creation of a breakaway soccer league, said on Thursday.
In a statement outlining the preliminary results of talks that A22 had with what it said was 50 European clubs and stakeholders of football, the company said change was necessary.
Se acabó el casting. A falta de anuncio oficial, Diego Cocca será el nuevo entrenador de la Selección Mexicana, camino al Mundial de 2026.
68 días después del fracaso que significó la participación del Tri en Catar, Cocca – actualmente en Tigres – se impuso a nombres como Guillermo Almada y Miguel Herrera para convertirse en el tercer DT extranjero consecutivo en tomar las riendas del combinado nacional, sucediendo al colombiano Juan Carlos Osorio y al también argentino Gerardo Martino.
RABAT — Saudi Arabian billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal will award a one million riyals ($266,500) bonus to each player from Al Hilal for the 3-2 win over South American champions Flamengo on Tuesday that sent them to the Club World Cup final.
Wrexham's Cinderella journey through the FA Cup ended cruelly Tuesday with a missed penalty and goals conceded in the 94th and 96th minutes to Sheffield United. But the bigger story was Sheffield United captain Billy Sharp becoming the first person to openly admit a genuine dislike for Wrexham and its FX television series.
Fam, se supone que esta semana hay nuevo técnico para la selección mexicana. Y la verdad es que nadie sabe a ciencia cierta quién será el elegido para liderar un proceso cuyo horizonte es el Mundial de 2026.
Obviamente, hay candidatos que todos conocen y cuando sea anunciado el nombre definitivo tampoco faltarán aquellos que salgan con un "se los dije" en Twitter. Sin embargo, hay que decir que el proceso ha sido caótico y reflejo de esto es que cada día que pasa parece haber un favorito distinto.
Copa Libertadores champions Flamengo suffered a surprising 3-2 Club World Cup semifinal defeat to Asian representatives Al-Hilal on Tuesday, meaning that South American sides have advanced to the final in only three of the last seven tournaments.
Flamengo manager Vítor Pereira and veteran defender David Luiz promised they wouldn't fall into the traditional Conmebol trap of overlooking their semifinal opponents while dreaming of Real Madrid, but before the halftime whistle had even sounded the Brazilian club had conceded two stupid penalties and been issued a red card.
Los Xoloitzcuintles de Tijuana no viven sus mejores días en la Liga MX, pero luego de haber corrido al técnico Ricardo Valiño se han prometido a sí mismos volver a luhar por el títiulo del fútbol mexicano con el nombramiento de un técnico de alto calibre. Y los candidatos al menos dan buena pinta.
Xolos se ha convertido en una de las cuantas plazas en México que va de torneo a torneo viviendo en el sótano de la tabla general.
The combined death toll in Turkey and Syria has risen to at least 2,600 from two earthquakes that struck the countries within the space of 12 hours. That number is expected to increase rapidly with many people still missing and trapped under the rubble of collapsed buildings.

The Premier League has referred Manchester City to an independent commission over more than 100 alleged breaches of finance rules since the club were acquired by the Abu Dhabi-based City Football Group.
League rules state that charges such as those faced by City could, if proved, result in a club being expelled from the Premier League in the worst-case scenario.
Offending clubs may alternately be deducted points, fined, or reprimanded.
Champions Real Madrid suffered a shock 1-0 loss at Mallorca in LaLiga on Sunday thanks to a bizarre own goal by defender Nacho early in the first half.
