P19 Layout 1 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.

  • Chile Sale a La Cancha a Defender Su Título De Campeón De América Llegó El Turno De La Selección Chilena En La Copa Améric
    Chile sale a la cancha a defender su título de campeón de América Llegó el turno de la selección chilena en la Copa América Centenario. Pese a que en los partidos amistosos frente a Jamaica y México la selección chilena no obtuvo victorias, la escuadra nacional hoy tendrá su revancha y deberán sacar lo mejor para enfrentarse en su debut ante Argentina. Los albicelestes aún tienen dudas si el astro Lionel Messi estará en el choque contra Chile. Ante esto, uno de los referentes de La Roja, Arturo Vidal dijo que “me gustaría que juegue Messi. Quiero que se recupere, no sólo por la selección de Argentina sino por el fútbol. Queremos que mañana (hoy) sea un lindo espectáculo y tenemos muchas esperanzas de hacer las cosas bien y lograr el objetivo de ser bicampeones”. Por su parte, el entrenador de la albiceleste, Gerardo Martino, quiere dar vuelta la página del histórico triunfo de Chile por la Copa América 2015 “La final fue hace un año, la ganó Chile por penales, ya es historia. Ni siquiera una eventual final entre los mismos protagonistas nos dará una oportunidad de revancha”. El encuentro está agendado a las 22:00 horas en el Levi’s Stadium, de California. Formación de Chile: Claudio Bravo, Mauricio Isla, Gary Medel, Gonzalo Jara, Eugenio Mena, Marcelo Díaz, Charles Aránguiz, Arturo Vidal, Alexis Sánchez, Eduardo Vargas y Jean Beasejour. Formación de Argentina: Sergio Romero, Gabriel Mercado, Nicolás Otamendi, Ramiro Funes Mori, Marco Rojo Augusto Fernández, Javier Mascherano, Gaitán, Ever Banega, Angel Di María, Gonzalo Higuaín.
