    MONDAY, JUNE 29, 2015 SPORTS England dump hosts Canada Canadians collapse in tears VANCOUVER: England scored twice in three first-half minutes then held on to beat hosts Canada 2-1 on Saturday and book a spot in the Women’s World Cup semi-finals against Japan. The hosts had been hoping to secure the semi-final spot against the defending champions on Canada Day, July 1, in Edmonton but instead it was England who moved into the last four of a World Cup for the first time. England coach Mark Sampson paid tribute to the opposi- tion and fans. “I have never been in a stadium as loud, as pas- sionate for their team as that was, they couldn’t have pushed us any further we had to really, really dig deep today to get the result we wanted,” he told reporters. “They’ve shown a desire I have never seen in an England team before to hang on in there and get us through to the next round.” Without a men’s or women’s World Cup title since 1966, and exasperated by another failure at the men’s U21 European Championships, the “Lionesses” have become the toast of England. “We’re history makers again, only the third England team to get to a semi-final, we have now joined that 1966 and 1990 club, very, very proud of the whole group,” beamed Sampson. EDMONTON: Japan’s Nahomi Kawasumi (9) and Australia’s Samantha Kerr (20) battle After conceding just one goal in four matches, Canada sur- for the ball during second half of FIFA Women’s World Cup quarter-final action.

  • Frauen-Bundesliga Extra • Schutzgebühr 1.- €
    OFFIZIELLES MAGAZIN DES DEUTSCHEN FUSSBALL-BUNDES • FRAUEN-BUNDESLIGA EXTRA • SCHUTZGEBÜHR 1.- € Frauen-Bundesliga www.dfb.de www.fussball.de all passion facebook.com/adidasfootball Liebe Freunde des Fußballs, die FIFA Frauen-Weltmeisterschaft 2011 hat dem Frauenfußball in Deutschland eine enorme Aufmerksamkeit gebracht. 782.000 Zuschauer haben die Spiele live in den Stadien verfolgt, zudem haben das Fernsehen, der Hörfunk und die Presse umfangreich über das Turnier berichtet. Allein die wunderbaren TV-Einschaltquoten dokumentieren, mit welchem Interesse das Thema verfolgt wurde. All dies spiegelt eine sensationelle Rückmeldung für unseren Sport wider, aus der jeder, der sich in der Frauen-Bundesliga engagiert, neue Motivation für die Zukunft ziehen kann. Denn mit dem Start der Frauen-Bundesliga in die Saison 2011/2012 bietet sich die nächste Möglichkeit, den Frauenfußball von seiner schönsten Seite zu präsentieren. Schließlich steht diese Spielklasse für hochwertigen und attraktiven Sport. Auch wenn es der DFB- Auswahl nicht gelungen ist, den Traum vom dritten WM-Titelgewinn in Folge zu ver - wirklichen, bleibt die Bundesliga die Liga der Weltmeisterinnen. Nicht nur weil weiterhin viele Spielerinnen aktiv sind, die zu den WM-Triumphen 2003 und 2007 beigetragen haben, sondern auch weil in Saki Kamagui, Yuki Nagasato und Kozue Ando mittlerweile drei japanische Weltmeisterinnen ihre fußballerische Heimat in Deutschland gefun - den haben. Ihre Wechsel zu den Klubs der Frauen-Bundesliga sprechen für das Ansehen und die Leistungsstärke unserer Vereine. Das wird natürlich insbesondere durch die Vergleiche auf internationaler Ebene dokumentiert. Die Erfolge der deutschen Vertreter in der UEFA Women’s Champions League sind ein starkes Argument. In den zehn Jahren seit Bestehen des Wettbewerbs standen deutsche Klubs acht Mal im Endspiel und konnten sechs Mal den Titel gewinnen.

    DAILY NEXUS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2019 www.dailynexus.com UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SANTA BARBARA U.S. Women’s Soccer Captains Speak on Gender Equality, World Cup Success at Arlington Theater Barbara Soccer Club and American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO). “It’s weird seeing her in person and not on my phone screen,” Reese Termond, a 17-year-old who attended the soccer clinic, said after seeing Rapinoe. “She’s actually human and not a robot that dribbles through people and scores goals.” Both on and off the field, Rapinoe was relaxed, personably cracking jokes as she gave advice and answered questions. Morgan was unable to assist at the clinic due to a knee injury but came later to the event to speak to the younger players, urging them to believe in themselves and their abilities. “Did I think that this would actually happen? I’m not sure. But I had the dream when I was 7, my mom believed in me, my family believed in me and that encouragement helped me become who I am today,” Morgan said after being asked by a player at the clinic if she always believed she would play professional soccer. Morgan and Rapinoe’s personal and professional growth was also discussed in-depth at their evening talk. Moderator Catherine Remak, from the radio station K-LITE, brought up their experiences playing high school and college soccer; Rapinoe played for the University of Portland and Morgan for UC Berkeley. Rapinoe joked about her experiences getting “walloped” as a high school player who was “never on a winning team.” But she admitted that the experience of losing led to growth, stating how “even at this level, we’ve had some really tough losses in our career and you can’t let that define you.” Both captains discussed some of the difficult defeats they’ve endured, referencing their loss to Japan at the 2011 FIFA World Cup on a penalty shootout in overtime as an example.
