Atlético Beats Marseille in Pre-Season Finale
Atlético de Madrid defeated Marseille 1-2 in their final pre-season match at the CEPAC Vélodrome in France. The victory comes after previous results against Manchester City and Manchester United (defeats) and a win against Getate.
The rojiblanco team will now prepare for their LaLiga EA Sports debut against Málaga next Wednesday. Marseille, described as dangerous after their previous victory over Athletic Club, proved to be a challenging opponent for Atlético in their final tune-up before the league season begins. orlando-books.blog
Dan Campbell: WR Isaac TeSlaa is going to be just fine
The Lions came into training camp expecting a big jump from wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa in his second season, but the signs of them have been hard to find this summer.
Reporters at the team's practices have not seen TeSlaa impress against Lions defensive backs and he had a shaky game against the Bengals on Thursday. TeSlaa did not have a catch on three targets that included a drop and a pass that went off his helmet for an interception.
TeSlaa came into camp ticketed for the third receiver role behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams and head coach Dan Campbell gave no indication that the uneven play has the team questioning his spot in the pecking order.
“All it takes is a couple of wins,” Campbell said, via Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. “Just a couple of wins at critical times against some guys in practice and then in a game to all of a sudden — boom — skyrockets. It goes back up. So sometimes with a young player, it’s a little bit of that pendulum swing, so he’ll be fine. He’s going to be just fine.”
Campbell said he doesn't feel a need to say anything to TeSlaa other than to "just stay the course" as he tries to adjust to his new role on the team. Should that fail to solve the issues, the Lions might have to revisit their plans come the end of the summer.
Europe Clubs Threaten Club World Cup Boycott
The European Football Clubs (EFC) group sent a letter to FIFA Secretary General Mattias Grafström threatening not to participate in future tournaments unless president Gianni Infantino backed down from the FIFA Forward Enterprise plan. The ultimatum came just hours before the controversial proposal was abandoned.
The influential clubs, including many of Europe's biggest teams, demanded that a joint venture framework between EFC and FIFA be completed before television rights for the 2028 Women's Club World Cup could be sold. The threat of cooperation withdrawal was made clear in correspondence seen by the Guardian.
Paul McGrath y María Pérez lideran la marcha española: que suene ‘Gloria’ en Victoria Square
De niño, no hace tanto, Paul McGrath recuerda largos viajes en coche con sus padres, un escocés enamorado de una catalana que la siguió hasta el Llobregat, y CDs, uno tras otro de Van Morrison por los altavoces. Pese a todo, el marchador español no acabó repudiando al León de Belfast. Al contrario, tanto le inspira que gozaría enormemente si temprana este sábado por la mañana (desde las 8.30, Tdp) su voz pletórica resonara en los altavoces de Victoria Square de Birmingham cantando a pleno pulmón su Gloria, y varias veces, en alabanza de su victoria en la prueba de media maratón (21 kilómetros y 97 metros y medio), la distancia que debuta junto al maratón en tibio intento de fomentar la especialidad, y la de compañeras y compañeros que compartirán recorrido —laberinto de un kilómetro con cuestas y piedras por el centro de la capital de las West Midlands, a la hora desierta en que los borrachos regresan a sus casas dando tumbos, 7.30 británicas, y 120 de los mejores deportistas de Europa entremezclados, hombres, mujeres, distancias— y triunfo en los Europeos del caos.
