El Barça completa la segunda sesión a la espera de sumar a Adeyemi

El FC Barcelona sigue sudando de lo lindo. Tras regresar ayer al trabajo, y ejercitarse esta mañana, los futbolistas disponibles de Hansi Flick completaron este miércoles por la tarde la segunda de las sesiones de la jornada. El técnico alemán contó con los mismos jugadores de la mañana, a la espera de que Karim Adeyemi (24 años), que aterrizó a primera hora de la tarde en Barcelona, se sume al grupo el viernes, una vez complete este jueves el pertinente reconocimiento médico y firme su contrato. Ademeyemi se dirigió directamente del aeropuerto al hotel, con lo que todavía no ha tenido oportunidad de saludar ni al técnico ni a sus nuevos compañeros, a los que verá este jueves cuando acuda a hacer las pruebas médicas y físicas.

Argentina 'Calm,' Embracing Underdog Role vs. England With World Cup Legacy Secure

ATLANTA STADIUM — The contrasting levels of experience were as plain as day as Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni sat in the same seat that Thomas Tuchel, his England counterpart, had occupied minutes earlier on Tuesday evening. For Tuchel, Wednesday’s FIFA World Cup semifinal between these two bitter historic soccer rivals is a completely new experience. It’s familiar territory for Scaloni. Not only did his Argentina squad breeze past Croatia at this stage four years ago en route to winning the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Scaloni’s Albiceleste also survived the semis on the way to consecutive Copa América titles in 2021 and 2024, when they equaled a feat only the Spanish team regarded as the best of all time had ever before accomplished by claiming three straight major tournament titles, a World Cup triumph bookended by a pair of continental championships. "The way I see it, this is already a ... I wouldn't call it a victory," Scaloni said. "But what these guys have given us over the last few years is spectacular. That’s what I’m holding onto, and that mindset will let us take the field much more calmly." That’s not the case for England, even if more than half of its 26-man World Cup roster was on the squad that lost to Spain in the Euro 2024 final. And it’s definitely not the case for Tuchel, who is experiencing his first international tournament of his career this summer. The pressure is immense for the Three Lions, who haven’t so much as made it to the final match of a World Cup since winning the country’s only major title all the way back in 1966. "It's nonstop knockout football, which is quite nerve-wracking," Tuchel admitted. Meantime, Argentina is playing with house money. La Albiceleste’s trophy case is full. And if you actually believe the bookies, England is the slight favorite to win. That’s a bet Scaloni would gladly take if he was allowed to. "Our hopes are very much alive, and we are eternally grateful to these players for taking us to another World Cup semifinal, considering how difficult it is to get this far," Scaloni said. "Personally, I believe we need to place immense value on what we’ve achieved — regardless of the fact that we’ll try with all our might to reach the final. Given the stage we’re at and the teams that have been eliminated, I think it’s a huge achievement, and we should view it as such. The thing is, we’ve done so many good things that sometimes it just doesn't feel like enough for us — myself included." The key for Argentina is obvious: stopping England stars Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane. Norway and Mexico were able to contain Kane in the Three Lions' last two games; the Bayern Munich striker’s lone goal came from the penalty spot. Bellingham, however, scored twice against both foes. "They are two great players — among the best in the world," Scaloni said. "Honestly, they’re the kind of players any coach would love to have. We’ll certainly try to neutralize them using our own strengths and prevent them from having a good game." Having that championship experience will help. While England overcame deficits to defeat Norway and DR Congo in the knockout stage, Argentina has been every bit as resilient. It also has a guy named Lionel Messi, whose eight goals has him tied atop the World Cup’s Golden Boot race with France’s Kylian Mbappé. "We have a culture where we never write off a match as lost," Scaloni said. That same culture demands that the team never rests on its laurels, even if the pressure isn’t quite the same as it was in Qatar. Messi was supposed to retire after that World Cup. Argentina hadn’t scaled the mountain since before the GOAT was born, when Diego Maradona led Argentina to glory in Mexico in 1986. The opportunity to pad that legacy isn't lost on Scaloni or any of his players, however decorated they might already be. "Playing in a World Cup semifinal is something unique," the Argentina coach said. "It’s true that we’ve played in one before, but it feels as though we haven’t played in any. We feel the same level of anticipation, anxiety and excitement about giving our people the joy of watching their national team give its all. Naturally, we’re up against a great rival that will make things difficult to reach the final. We’re looking forward to it." Having been there before, though, he knows playing for another title would be even better. "We are going to leave every last drop of sweat on the pitch to try to reach the final," Scaloni said. "Let there be no doubt about that." capturengo.org

IHF opphever utestengelsen av Russland og Belarus – slippes tilbake i håndballen

Det internasjonale håndballforbundet (IHF) opphevet onsdag utestengelsen av russiske og belarusiske lag og representanter med umiddelbar virkning.
Det kommer som følge av at Den internasjonale olympiske komité (IOC) midlertidig har opphevet suspensjonen av Russlands olympiske komité, skriver IHF i en pressemelding.
Russland og Belarus kan dermed igjen delta i konkurranser i regi av IHF, blant dem VM i håndball.
En eventuell VM-deltakelse forutsetter likevel kvalifisering eller invitasjon. EM arrangeres av Det europeiske håndballforbundet (EHF) og omfattes ikke av IHF-vedtaket.
Russiske og belarusiske lag og representanter ble utestengt fra IHF-arrangementer i mars 2022, i kjølvannet av Russlands invasjon av Ukraina.
– IHF gjentar sin langvarige støtte til Ukrainas håndballforbund og uttrykker fortsatt solidaritet med Ukraina. Forbundet fordømmer på det sterkeste den pågående krigen i Ukraina og dens ødeleggende følger, skriver IHF i pressemeldingen.
Det internasjonale håndballforbundet, som ledes av den kontroversielle 81 år gamle presidenten Dr. Hassan Moustafa, håper at krigen i Ukraina snart tar slutt.
– IHF håper oppriktig at krigen snart tar slutt, slik at freden kan vende tilbake, de normale idrettslige forbindelsene kan gjenopprettes og det fredelige internasjonale samarbeidet kan tas opp igjen.

Patrick Mahomes reiterates goal is to play Week 1: "I don't want to miss that game"

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said during the offseason program that his goal is to be ready for Week 1, despite suffering a torn ACL in December.

With training camp just around the corner, that goal is starting to seem more and more in reach.

Mahomes reiterated his stance during an interview with Yahoo Sports Daily on Wednesday.

"That’s my goal," Mahomes said. "I've said that since the beginning, is being ready to go Week 1. I can't predict the future, and I know that it's a long process. It's not just my decision, but at the same time I'm going to give the doctors and the coaches every single opportunity I can to let me be out there Week 1.”

The Broncos being the season-opening opponent adds an extra layer of motivation for the three-time Super Bowl champion.

"I don't want to miss that game because that's the team that won the division while we were gone, and you want to be out there and ready to go with your teammates,” Mahomes said. “I'll give every single thing I can to be out there Week 1, and hopefully the doctors and the coaches give me the green light, and I'm able to go out there with my guys and compete against one of the best teams in the league."

Mahomes acknowledged that his return has been “a long process,” but feels like he’s in a good spot with training camp set to begin at the end of the month.

“[A]ll I can do is be as great as I can be every single day,” Mahomes said. “You just have to maximize that day and slowly get better and better as the year goes on.

"I'm excited to get back to training camp. I'm excited to get the guys back around. I've kind of been in the building in Kansas City by myself. Just [to] have the guys back and getting to be on the football field will get me going and get me ready for the season.”

Chiefs rookies and veterans are set to report to training camp on July 28.
