According to Marca, via Sport Witness, Real Madrid could offer Gareth Bale to Tottenham Hotspur this summer in a bid to land Christian Eriksen.

Bale has won four Champions League titles during his time at the Bernabeu, but it is widely thought that the Welshman has never really settled in Spain.

Bale scored 55 times in 203 appearances for Spurs ahead of a move to Real Madrid and according to Marca, via Sports Witness, he could now head back to London.

A lot would have to happen for such a deal to take place, namely Eriksen making the move in the opposite direction, according to the report.

Eriksen will see his contract with Spurs expire at the end of next season and he has been strongly linked with a move away from the club.

The Tottenham fans have caught wind of the potential swap deal on Twitter.

And a selection of the reaction, which is extremely mixed, can be seen below:

Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to react furiously after they discovered that Everton fans were singing Manchester City songs following the 0-0 draw at Goodison Park on Sunday.

The Reds’ inability to beat their city rivals saw them miss an opportunity to leapfrog Pep Guardiola’s side and return to the top of the table, and with nine games to go, the reigning champions have the initiative.

Obviously, Liverpool and Everton are bitter rivals, and whilst the Toffees’ celebrations after the full-time whistle seemed like they were celebrating a point, they were perhaps more intent on cheering the fact that they dented their foes’ title hopes.

After the showpiece event, Everton fans were caught on camera singing Manchester City’s ‘Blue Moon’ song to celebrate the Citizens returning to the top of the table.

Understandably, after seeing their title hopes dealt a blow, Liverpool fans on Twitter were quick to retaliate after seeing the video…

Tottenham kept themselves well and truly in the title race with a crucial win over Newcastle on Saturday, but fans aren’t too happy with the performance of Erik Lamela.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side didn’t have it all their own way in Saturday’s early kick-off, as Newcastle showed once again they are not to be taken lightly.

The Magpies are never blown away by the top six sides due to their steel and organisation, and of course were responsible for one of the upsets of the season against Manchester City last week.

Rafael Benitez’s side proved a stern test for the Lilywhites as well, but a late goalkeeping error from Martin Dubravka allowed Son Heung-min to save the day once again.

While the electric fan favourite has only further enamoured himself to the fans during the club’s injury crisis, Lamela has unfortunately walked the opposite path.

The 26 year-old is often very wasteful and erratic in possession and fans are not happy with his display…

O Flamengo vive uma fase dos sonhos. A empilhar títulos desde 2019, o Rubro-Negro deixou a zoação do “cheirinho” para trás e, conforme viralizado através de Bruno Henrique, navega no continente em “outro patamar”. No entanto, há um jejum considerável que carrega: é o clube da Série A que está há mais tempo sem marcar um gol de falta.

> Confira a tabela do Campeonato Carioca

A última bola na rede via batida de falta ocorreu no dia 10 de junho de 2018 e se deu através de Diego, em duelo contra o Paraná, pela 11ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro, em vitória por 2 a 0 – Felipe Vizeu marcara o outro gol.

Neste gol de Diego, a bola ainda desviou na barreira antes de morrer na rede do Maracanã. Veja o lance abaixo:

Por falar em Diego, o camisa 10 deve iniciar a partida deste sábado, contra a Portuguesa, pela terceira rodada da Taça Rio – já que Jorge Jesus, possivelmente, poupará alguns titulares. Ou seja, Ribas é um forte candidato a tirar o Flamengo da fila e enterrar tal jejum.

No atual elenco, Everton Ribeiro, Arrascaeta e até Willian Arão têm se arriscado nos últimos jogos. Cabe destacar, contudo, que a bola parada (faltas laterais e escanteios) está sendo uma arma letal para servir companheiros, como ocorreu diante do Barcelona-EQU, onde, além do pênalti convertido por Gabigol, dois gols surgiram em jogadas iniciadas após cobranças de corners.

– (Bola parada) Faz parte do jogo. É estratégia ofensiva, defensiva. Trabalhamos em função das ideias, e os jogadores que decidem o melhor em campo dentro da ideia coletiva que a equipe tem – falou Jesus.

Having beaten Ireland in a last-over thriller, Oman, whose game against Netherlands was washed out, will head into their knockout shootout clash against Bangladesh high on confidence

Start time 1930 local (1400 GMT)Oman can ill afford a washout as Bangladesh are marginally ahead on net run rate•ICC/Getty Images

Big Picture
When the tournament’s schedule was first announced, few would have given Oman a chance of qualifying ahead of Bangladesh and Ireland from their group. Having beaten Ireland in a last-over thriller, Oman, whose game against Netherlands was washed out, will head into their knockout clash against Bangladesh high on confidence. But confidence alone won’t help them if the iffy Dharamsala weather intervenes. It has been raining for the last two days, and plenty more is forecast on match day. If there were to be another washout, Oman would endure heartbreak as Bangladesh are marginally ahead on net run rate.Oman would rely on Zeeshan Maqsood and Khawar Ali to power them upfront, to give Jatinder Singh and Amir Ali an opportunity to lend the finishing touches. Ajay Lalcheta and Munis Ansari, whose action resembles Lasith Malinga’s, will be key if Oman are to restrict Bangladesh’s in-form batting unit.That could be a herculean task if Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar and Sabbir Rahman tee off like they did against Ireland in eight overs before the rain came. Tamim, in particular, looks in fine touch, having made an unbeaten 83 and 47 against Netherlands and Ireland respectively. Sarkar and Sabbir would want to prolong their stay in the middle to take the pressure off the slightly out-of-touch Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan.Bangladesh’s bowling may be a concern with Arafat Sunny already in Chennai to conduct his bowling action test after being warned by the ICC. He could be missed on a slow pitch, but Bangladesh have variety as Shakib, Mahmudullah and even Nasir Hossain can cover up in his absence,Form guide
Bangladesh WLWWW (last five completed matches, most recent first)
Oman WLLWLWatch out for
Soumya Sarkar is becoming an expert in getting the side off to fast starts, but he has also been guilty of frittering the early advantage, as was the case against Netherlands and Ireland. The game against Oman could be a good chance for him to bat deep into the innings and bring up a score of substance.Amir Ali is a marketing manager at an Indian restaurant in Muscat but after his 17-ball 32 against Ireland, Bangladesh would have done well to mark him as one to watch out for in a high-pressure clash.Team news
Against Ireland, Mohammad Mithun and Abu Hider replaced Nasir Hossain and Arafat Sunny. Bangladesh could retain this line-up, though Nasir’s bowling is handy in the shorter version. Bangladesh (probable): 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Soumya Sarkar, 3 Sabbir Rahman, 4 Mushfiqur Rahim, 5 Shakib Al Hasan, 6 Mahmudullah, 7 Mohammad Mithun/Nasir Hossain, 8 Mashrafe Mortaza (capt), 9 Al-Amin Hossain, 10 Abu Hider, 11 Taskin AhmedUnless they spot something dramatically different in the pitch, Oman are unlikely to tinker with their starting XI Oman (probable) 1 Zeeshan Maqsood, 2 Khawar Ali, 3 Jatinder Singh, 4 Adnan Ilyas, 5 Mehran Khan, 6 Aamir Kaleem, 7 Amir Ali, 8 Sultan Ahmed (capt. & wk), 9 Ajay Lalcheta, 10 Munis Ansari, 11 Bilal KhanPitch and conditions
There’s more rain on the radar on Sunday. But despite being under covers for a long time on Friday, the pitch played well in the Bangladesh-Ireland game, though the bowlers preferred slower variations.Stats and trivia
This is going to be the first Bangladesh-Oman cricket match at any level. Tamim Iqbal is now 11 runs short of 1,000 T20I runs while Shakib remains at 979 runs.Quotes”We won’t be taking Oman lightly. We don’t have much footage for them, but we will prepare as hard as we do for India and Pakistan.”
“It is a win-win situation for us. If we win we go through to the next round, but unfortunately if we can’t do that we have still achieved a lot in this tournament.”

Daniel Vettori has been appointed as coach of the Brisbane Heat for the next three years

ESPNcricinfo staff02-Apr-2015

Daniel Vettori has been appointed as coach of the Brisbane Heat for the next three years. His tenure will begin upon his return from the IPL, which runs till May 24 and where he coaches Royal Challengers Bangalore.With only two wins from eight games, Heat had finished at the bottom of the points table in the BBL and led to coach Stuart Law and captain James Hopes stepping down. They had won the title in the second season but haven’t been able to build on that success.”It is a big job but one that I am excited about tackling,” Vettori said about the challenge that awaits him. “It has been a few big months for everyone with the World Cup but I am pleased to begin getting myself ready for what comes next.Vettori has been part of Queensland T20 cricket for five years, has played for the Heat in all four seasons of the Big Bash League and was their player of the year in 2013-14. He becomes their first standalone coach since the inception of the BBL in 2011. Usually the coach of the Queensland side in the Sheffield Shield and Matador one-day cup assumes charge.”I found my initial experience as the coach of Bangalore in the IPL to be very rewarding last year and so I am grateful to them for allowing me this additional opportunity to develop my coaching skills and background,” he said.Brett Jones, Queensland’s high performance manager, said Vettori’s signing would also help plan their combination going into the coming BBL season.”Dan coming on board for the next three BBL seasons will certainly assist us with finalising the bulk of our recruiting and planning for the coming year,” he said. “We’re delighted to have him back with us, considering it is a relationship that goes back more than five years ago to the original Big Bash when he played for Queensland.”Heat have so far re-signed allrounder Ben Cutting and batsmen Joe Burns, Chris Lynn and Nathan Reardon.

Namibia and Netherlands are favourites while Nepal have an outside chance at ICC World Cricket League Division Two to get back into the top flight of Associate cricket

Peter Della Penna16-Jan-2015Six teams left New Zealand a year ago disappointed after a missed opportunity to reach next month’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. The next eight days at ICC World Cricket League Division Two represent a chance for those six castoffs from the 2014 World Cup Qualifier – Canada, Kenya, Namibia, Nepal, Netherlands, Uganda – to get back into the top flight of Associate cricket.The top two finishers at the end of this event will join the six Associate nations who currently have ODI status to compete in the next editions of the ICC Intercontinental Cup and the World Cricket League Championship, which both begin later this year and stretch through 2017. Whoever wins the Intercontinental Cup will take on the lowest-ranked Full Member in the ICC Test Challenge in 2018. Here’s a look at how each team shapes up at the start of Division Two in Namibia.Kenya (5th place at 2014 World Cup Qualifier)
An Associate torchbearer through the 2000s, Kenya’s fall from grace has been precipitous in the last few years culminating in a loss of ODI status after finishing out of the top four at last year’s World Cup Qualifier. Last month’s tour of Pakistan offered few signs that the decline will be arrested anytime soon. Their average score in five 45-over matches against Pakistan A was 109 and they were bowled out for under 100 on two occasions.Rakep Patel was in solid form in November in a four-match series in Namibia and his presence was badly missed in Pakistan. He returns for this tournament to captain the squad. Kenya have a decent bowling attack with good balance between pace and spin but their batsmen struggle for consistency. The team’s confidence took a beating at the hands of Pakistan A but other players coming back into the squad such as Irfan Karim and Collins Obuya must contribute immediately for Kenya to have the best chance of finishing in the top two.Namibia (6th place at 2014 World Cup Qualifier)
Generally a team that tends to fly under the radar, Namibia have a strong nucleus that has been developed over the last several years. Captain Nicolaas Scholtz has had an excellent season so far with four fifties and a century in South Africa’s domestic three-day competition while Raymond van Schoor has complemented him well in the middle order.While Namibia’s bowling unit isn’t as potent as Kenya’s, their batting is far stronger and they are capable of chasing down big totals. Central to that is the power supplied by the explosive Gerrie Snyman. After finishing runners-up in the Intercontinental Cup to Ireland in 2008 and fifth in 2013, Namibia are desperate to get back into the competition with a spot in the ICC Test Challenge at stake. They should be considered favourites for promotion on home soil.Namibia have a strong nucleus that has been developed over the last several years•ICC/GettyNetherlands (7th at 2014 World Cup Qualifier)
Dutch cricket could have gone straight to pieces after a disastrous final day of the opening round at the qualifier in New Zealand against Kenya saw them lose ODI status. Instead, they recovered well enough to trump Ireland in an epic chase two months later at the World T20 to be the only Associate to progress to the second round. They nearly upset South Africa before a resounding win over England confirmed that ODI status or not, Netherlands are still plenty capable of competing with the big boys.Two key components of their World T20 success, Tom Cooper and Timm van der Gugten, are absent from the squad for Division Two and that brings Netherlands back to the pack somewhat. However, the belligerent combo of Stephan Myburgh and Wesley Barresi are still around and support in the middle order from captain Peter Borren makes Netherlands the other promotion favourite alongside Namibia.Canada (8th at 2014 World Cup Qualifier)
Canada’s cupboard wasn’t left totally bare after the retirements in the last few years of longtime stalwarts like John Davison and Ashish Bagai, but it was definitely depleted. Despite a genuine commitment to developing players through junior programs, the return on that investment is taking longer than expected.Ruvindu Gunasekera is one player to come through Canada’s junior ranks showing flashes of brilliance. The menacing left-hand batsman scored a century in a three-wicket win over Zimbabwe A in Harare four days ago. Like Kenya, though, Canada’s batsmen struggle to piece together consistent performances. The Americas Region as a whole has gone south since Canada and Bermuda appeared together in the 2007 World Cup and that trend doesn’t look like changing course in the near future. Canada are more likely to battle to avoid relegation than fight for promotion at this tournament.Nepal (9th at 2014 World Cup Qualifier, promoted to Division Two after winning Division Three)
After appearing to be snakebitten at the qualifier in New Zealand, Nepal regrouped from a lousy experience and have come back a much stronger unit. They notched a pair of wins at the World T20 over Hong Kong and Afghanistan. Later in the year, they produced a clinical performance to finish Division Three champions for the second time in two years. A big part of that success has been Sompal Kami, who has quickly matured over the last 12 months into the fast-bowling messiah Nepal desperately needed to get on even footing with top-tier Associates.Although Nepal went through their share of administrative troubles in 2014, two positives they achieved were securing the continued services of coach Pubudu Dassanayake and awarding central contracts to 22 players. It is hard to envision another instant relegation to Division Three again and if the chips fall right they have an outside chance at competing for one of the two promotion spots.Uganda (10th at 2014 World Cup Qualifier, promoted to Division Two after finishing second at Division Three)
Captain Frank Nsubuga embodies his squad’s ethos of making the most out of their talent. Uganda are an earnest, workmanlike crew who may arguably be the best fielding side in this tournament. Their hustle will keep opponents honest and Uganda’s best chance to pounce will come against poorly disciplined opponents who underestimate the African side at their own peril.Unfortunately, Uganda may find it hard to come across such teams at the Division Two level. While they are capable of causing an upset or two, Uganda are firm underdogs in this tournament and may spend most of the week fighting their way to stay out of the relegation zone.

تحدث محمد الشناوي حارس مرمى الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بالنادي الأهلي، عن مواجهة سيمبا التنزاني، غدًا الثلاثاء، في مواجهة إياب دور ربع نهائي دوري السوبر الإفريقي.

ويحل سيمبا ضيفًا على الأهلي في استاد “القاهرة” الدولي يوم غدًا الثلاثاء، في تمام الساعة الخامسة عصرًا بتوقيت “مصر”، بعد التعادل ذهابًا في تنزانيا بنتيجة 2-2.

وقال الشناوي في تصريحات عبر المؤتمر الصحفي، ردًا على سؤال بشأن تحمله هدفًا في مرماه مع منتخب مصر أمام الجزائر، وتحمله هدفًا أمام سيمبا في مباراة الذهاب: “أنا لا أفهم السؤال وما وراءه، عامة نحن فريق واحد ونُفكر في مباراة الغد، أهم شيء أننا مستعدون بشكل جيد وجاهزون من أجل التأهل”.

وتابع: “نحن فريق واحد 32 لاعبًا أي واحد منهم يُشارك نثق فيه، والمدرب يتعامل معنا مثل الموسم الماضي في مسألة التدوير، وأتمنى أن نغلق قصة مشاركة لاعبين وأخرين لا في الإعلام”.

وأضاف: “في دوري أبطال إفريقيا خسرنا وفي النهاية حصلنا على البطولة، أمام سيمبا تعادلنا وغدًا سنواجههم على ملعبنا، وإن شاء الله يكون التوفيق معنا ونُحقق الفوز”.

وأردف: “لست أنا الوحيد الذي أتحدث مع اللاعبين، كلنا نتحدث سويًا، نعمل فقط ونُفكر في كل مباراة على حدة، اللاعبون يعرفون أهمية البطولة وأهمية المباراة على ملعبنا، كل لاعب يعرف مهامه، ويعرفون أهمية اللقاء”.

Jonathan Trott has signed a new three-year deal with Warwickshire, committing himself to the club to the end of the 2017 season.Trott, 33, endured a tough start to 2014 but finished the season in something approaching his best form. After taking a second break from the game following a recurrence of a stress-related illness in April, he enjoyed a prolific spell following his return at the end of June.In all, he made five first team centuries in his final 17 innings ­ including in Warwickshire’s final two Championship matches of the season – and finished the Royal London One Day Cup campaign as the highest England-qualified run-scorer.He is highly likely to be selected for the England Lions, who tour South Africa in January and February, but if he is unable to win a full international recall, Warwickshire may have secured themselves the Mark Ramprakash of his generation – a prolific county player available for the entire season.Dougie Brown, Director of Cricket at Warwickshire, said: “Jonathan played some of the best cricket of his career in the second half of last season and he showed that he remains one of the leading batsmen in the English game.”It’s been great to see him enjoying his cricket and make such a big contribution to the team¹s strong finish to the season. He loves Warwickshire and playing cricket at Edgbaston, and everyone connected with the Club is thrilled to see him commit long-term.”It is the first time in several years that Trott, who has just lost his England central contract, will have his wages paid by Warwickshire but the club’s costs were partially offset by Chris Woakes gaining a central contract for the first time.Warwickshire are also close to agreeing a similar long-term deal with Ian Bell. It means that, except the injury-forced retirement of former club captain Jim Troughton, they have retained their entire playing squad from the 2014 season.
