  • 44-Year-Old El Hadary Takes Egypt Into Final
    Sports FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2017 Suarez, Messi hand Barca lead in Copa MADRID: Wonder goals from Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi left Barcelona with a 2-1 Copa del Rey semi-final, first leg advan- tage over Atletico Madrid to take back to the Camp Nou next week. Suarez’s solo effort and a thunderous strike from Messi gave Barca a deserved commanding lead at half-time. Yet, Atletico roared back after the break as Antoine Griezmann halved the arrears and the hosts went close to an equaliser as they piled on the pressure in the final stages. However, Diego Simeone’s men were left to rue their slow start with Barca now favourites to make a fourth straight Cup final ahead of the second leg on February 7. “It is normal that playing here at their home they would push us and they were much better in the second-half than the first,” said Suarez. “The didn’t have anything to lose. They risked a lot more and made us suffer a little.” The honours have been split two apiece in the four previous two-legged ties between these sides in the past three seasons. Yet there was a gulf in class as Barca took control in the first 45 minutes. It took just seven minutes for Suarez to open the scoring with his seventh goal in nine appearances against Atletico. The Uruguayan ran half the length of the field, leav- ing Diego Godin and Stefan Savic in his wake, before slotting the ball home with the outside of his foot into the far corner.

  • 2018-19 Sky Bet Championship Season Preview: the Road to the Promised Land
    2018-19 Sky Bet Championship Season Preview: The Road to the Promised Land Author : Ryan Osborne At the end of the EFL season, it was Fulham who took that gigantic step back into the Promised Land and with that all the riches that comes with it. A few weeks later and it is back, the football season is back. After the World Cup and all the hype surrounding it, regular football is back and this season is set to be one of the greatest. Managers all around the EFL began plotting life in the Football League. In the Championship, the landscape has pretty much changed with the arrival of Marco Bielsa as the new Leeds Manager. His reputation goes before him as one of the games most heralded managers and with that comes his extravagant formations and tactics. It will be very interesting to see how Leeds fare this season and they have shown their mettle by signing Barry Douglas from Wolves followed by the signing of Patrick Bamford from Middlesbrough. Aston Villa are another team who are favourites for promotion but with FFP rules somewhat scuppering the plans and also interest in Jack Grealish, it could have a huge bearing on where Villa finish this season. It looked like this season would start of badly as it was widely reported that the clubs new owners would look to get rid of Steve Bruce but those rumours were quashed, so now Steve Bruce can look forward to the new season. 1 / 3 Of all the relegated teams coming down you can look no further than Stoke City.
