    SPORTS SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2016 Brazil thrash archrivals Argentina Brazil, Uruguay march towards 2018 MONTEVIDEO: Brazil thrashed arch-rivals Argentina to tight- en their grip on South America’s 2018 World Cup qualification campaign on Thursday as Uruguay maintained their push towards the finals with a hard-fought defeat of Ecuador. Barcelona superstar Neymar outshone club-mate Lionel Messi with his 50th international goal for Brazil in Belo Horizonte as the five-time World Cup winners romped to a 3-0 win in the Estadio Mineirao. It was a sweet return to the venue for Brazil, who were humiliated 7-1 at the same ground by Germany in the semi-finals of the 2014 World Cup. Neymar’s landmark strike was sandwiched by a spectacular effort from Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho and a second-half finish from China-based midfielder Paulinho. The win was a remarkable fifth consecutive qualifying victory under the reign of new coach Tite, who took over following the sacking of Dunga in June after Brazil’s Copa America Centenario debacle, when they failed to advance from the group stage. Brazil now have 24 points from 11 games, one clear of second-placed Uruguay who have 23 points. The Brazilians are six points clear of third-placed Colombia and seven points clear of Ecuador and Chile, who are level on 17 points after 11 games. Argentina meanwhile are languish- ing outside the qualifying places in sixth with 16 points. The two-time world champions-who have taken just two points from their past four qualifiers-now face a crucial game at home to Colombia next Tuesday which they must win to avoid falling further off the pace.

  • Con La Obligación De Ganar Para No Despedirse De Rusia Diario Concepción (
    Con la obligación de ganar para no despedirse de Rusia Diario Concepción (http://diarioconcepcion.cl) Con la obligación de ganar para no despedirse de Rusia [1] La "Roja" recibe a un elenco que ha perdido 24 de los últimos 25 partidos que disputó en condición de visita. Un traspié complicaría más el camino al Mundial. Carlos Ignacio Campos [email protected] Quien lo diría. El flamante y actual bicampeón de América marcha séptimo en la tabla de posiciones rumbo al Mundial de Rusia. Para muchos, las eliminatorias sudamericanas son las más difíciles del mundo, y esta es una muestra de lo dura que es la competencia para llegar a la Copa del Mundo. Panorama oscuro Tras la obtención de la Copa América Centenario, Chile se nubló futbolísticamente y jamás volvió a mostrar el buen nivel que exhibió en el último tramo de aquel torneo. La "Roja" obtuvo sólo una unidad de nueve posibles en clasificatorias, dejando en el camino puntos claves que había obtenido en el proceso anterior. "Está difícil para todos este cierre de año. Es una clasificatoria muy complicada y debemos sumar puntos", dijo el DT Juan Antonio Pizzi en la previa, y tiene razón. Tras el choque de esta noche ante Perú, Chile posteriormente se medirá ante Colombia como visita, Uruguay en casa y Argentina en Buenos Aires. Un camino que asoma, por lo menos, como durísimo. ¿Valdivia o Castillo? Esa es la única duda de Pizzi para esta noche. La inclusión del "Mago" ha sido siempre un tema en la selección chilena. El volante ex Palmeiras no es del gusto del entrenador, pero la presión del plantel y un camarín que - tal como señaló Jorge Sampaoli antes de partir- se volvió "ingobernable", prácticamente obligaron al DT a nominar a Jorge Valdivia.

  • BMO Management Strategies of Football Clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie
    BSc-Thesis – BMO Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie Name Student: Mylan Pouwels Registration Number: 991110669120 University: Wageningen University & Research (WUR) Study: BBC (Business) Thesis Mentor: Jos Bijman Date: 1-23-2020 Chair Group: BMO Course Code: YSS-81812 Foreword From an early age I already like football. I like it to play football by myself, to watch it on television, but also to read articles about football. The opportunity to combine my love for football with a scientific research for my Bachelor Thesis, could not be better for me. During an orientating conversation about the topic for my Bachelor Thesis with my thesis mentor Jos Bijman, I mentioned that I was always interested in the management strategies of organizations. What kind of choices an organization makes, what kind of resources an organization uses, what an organization wants to achieve and its performances. Following closely this process in large organizations is something I like to do in my leisure time. My thesis mentor Jos Bijman asked for my hobbies and he mentioned that there was a possibility to combine my interests in the management strategies of organizations with my main hobby football. In this way the topic Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie was created. The Bachelor Thesis Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie is executed in a qualitative research, using a literature study. This Thesis is written in the context of my graduation of the study Business-and Consumer Studies (specialization Business) at the Wageningen University and Research. From October 28 2019 until January 23 I have been working on the research and writing of my Thesis.

Con doblete de Pedro Aquino y autogol de G Enzo Roco, la “Blanquirroja” de Perú venció por 3-0 a su clásico rival Chile, en histórico partido internacio- nal jugado en Miami, Florida, por la reciente Fecha FIFA. Una selección peruana super ofensi- va, con autoridad y buen fútbol, rompió a un equipo chileno carente de ideas y respuestas, en una nueva versión amis- tosa del tradicional “Clásico del Pacífi co” que encendió el Hard Rock Stadium. Pese a no contar con sus fi guras Pao- lo Guerrero y Jeff erson Farfán, Perú fue un amplio dominador en todo el cotejo, que comenzó con cautela pero solidez defensiva hasta los 10 minutos y luego controló sin problemas para terminar ovacionado con los oles que bajaron desde las tribunas con mayoría peruana. La “Blanquirroja” que dirige el ar- gentino Ricardo “Tigre” Gareca aplicó su fórmula: juego de toque corto, trian- gulaciones entre sus hábiles jugadores y pase largo al vacío haciendo estragos la defensa mapochina.

  • Number #9 in the TDF Top 50
    From being a small boy, I have always been a huge fan of both football and professional wrestling and at around the age of 10-years-old, I came across a monthly magazine brought to newsagents from the makers of the world famous Sports Illustrated all about pro wrestling. It was simply named Pro Wrestling Illustrated. It was a publication I regularly read as well as Shoot and Match weekly magazines to feed my football addiction. In 1991, PWI began this new craze that instantly grabbed my attention more than no other magazine had before. They revealed the 'PWI 500'. The 'PWI 500' section in the magazine listed (in rank order) the top 500 professional wrestlers in the world that year. Counting down from 500, this revealed to me many, many talents that I have not discovered as of yet. This was released every year, and still to this day is the best selling edition of the magazine each year. I studied and read and read over and over again that edition in 1991 and I came up with an idea. What if Match or Shoot revealed the top 500 footballers in the world? Thinking back to 1991, I used to love to tune into the 'BBC Radio 1 Top 40' show every Sunday afternoon too... maybe I'm a tad obsessed with countdowns. Anyways, reflecting on the idea, I thought about it each year the 'PWI 500' was released. As years went on, I felt that this would have grown into a hugely successful plan, gaining great recognition with people in the game, possibly gained its own award ceremony on TV with the emergence and exposure SKY Television in the United Kingdom was just beginning to give to the game back then.
