    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.

Specifikt undersöks push-notiser från Aftonbladet och Dagens Nyheter för att se vad som karaktäriserar det redaktionella innehåll som sänds ut via push- notiser. För att kartlägga de respektive dagstidningarnas användning av push-notiser tillämpas en kvantitativ innehållsanalys där push-notiserna kategoriseras utefter ett kodschema med bestämda variabler och variabelvärden. Studiens teoretiska ramverk har utgångspunkt i teorier om medielogik, nyhetsvärdering, hårda och mjuka nyheter samt kommersialisering och sensationsjournalistik. Utifrån teorin, samt tidigare forskning om vad som blir nyheter, skillnader mellan morgonpress och kvällspress samt rubrikanvändning, diskuteras studiens resultat.

  • EM-KVALSTART MOT ITALIEN Lördagen Den 5 Maj Inleder Damlandslaget Kvalspelet Till EM I Finland 2009 Med Match Mot Italien I Trento
    PASSNINGENPASSNINGENPASSNINGEN Nr 10 - 19 april 2007 DAM: EM-KVALSTART MOT ITALIEN Lördagen den 5 maj inleder damlandslaget kvalspelet till EM i Finland 2009 med match mot Italien i Trento. - En av de svåraste matcherna i kvalet, som även innehåller matcher mot Rumänien, Ungern och Irland. Men säsongen har börjat bra, så vi åker till Italien för att vinna, säger assisterande förbundskapten Lilie Persson. Thomas Dennerby och landslagssekreteraren Cecilia Sandell har redan åkt till Kina för söndagens VM-lottning. Efter denna åker de båda vidare för att se på spelplatser, hotell, tränings- planer m m inför VM. Truppen mot Italien innehåller en ny spelare sedan Algarve Cup - Karolina Westberg som nu är skadefri och har inlett sin säsong i Umeå väldigt bra. - Vi åker med färre spelare till kvalmatchen än vi hade i Algarve Cup. Och det är tuff kamp om platserna, det märks att många vill konkurrera inför kvalspelet och framförallt VM, säger Lilie. - Hanna Ljungberg är återställd, men mår fortfarande bäst av att stanna hemma och träna i lugn och ro. Sara Larsson, Linköping, har tyvärr åkt på en ny skada, så hon är heller inte aktuell denna gång. Sedan finns det en hel rad spelare till att nämna, som övertygat i Damallsvenskan, så vi har angenäma problem, säger Lilie. Italien gjorde en stark turnering i Algarve Cup där man blev obesegrade. Efter segrar mot Island (2-1), Portugal (1-0) och Irland (4-1) i gruppspelet vann man även placeringsmatchen om sjunde plats mot regerande världsmästarna Tyskland med 1-0. - Ja, de övertygade. Vi får räkna med sedvanlig italiensk spelmentalitet, så det gäller att stå upp direkt, kommenterar Lilie.

  • Magnus Wikman Assisterar Thomas Dennerby 2010 Ackreditering Till Algarve Cu
    PASSNINGEN Nr 4 - 9 februari 2010 Dennerby: ”En viktigare säsong än många tror” Damlandslaget har att se fram emot än mycket viktig VM-kvalsäsong, som kan bli både lång och svår. Förbundskapten Thomas Dennerby har tagit ut truppen till Algarve Cup, där det svenska laget ska slipa formen och få tuff matchning inför fortsättningen av VM-kvalet. - Det är en viktigare säsong än många tror. Det räcker inte att vinna gruppen i VM-kvalet, utan det blir play-off mot en annan gruppsegrare för att nå VM. Man ska också komma ihåg att VM 2011 är kval till OS i London 2012, säger Thomas Dennerby. Algarve Cup spelas 24 februari-4 mars och titelförsvarande Sverige ställs i gruppspelet mot Norge, Island och USA. Den svenska truppen ser ni på sidan 3. Läs mer om Algarve Cup och det fortsatta VM-kvalet på svenskfotboll.se.

Wikman kommer närmast från Linköpings FC som han förde till SM-guld, Svenska cupen-guld samt seger i Super- cupfinalen 2009. - Det här ska bli jätteskoj, och det är en ära att få vara med och arbeta med damlandslaget, säger Wikman. Lilie Persson som är assisterande kapten ska vara föräldraledig under delar av säsongen, men även om hon kommer tillbaka under året så blir Wikman kvar året ut. - Vi vill ha kontinuitet kring damlandslaget hela det här viktiga året, där vi ska kvala in till VM i Tyskland 2011 som i sin tur ger oss en möjlig biljett till OS-spel i London 2012.
