Germany, US Cruise Into Knockout Stage FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 2014 46 FAN FERVOR Germany, US cruise into knockout stage RECIFE: Thomas Mueller’s sec- ond-half goal saw Germany sail to a 1-0 victory over the United States in World Cup Group G yes- terday, a result that saw both teams progress to the knockout stage of the tournament. Germany top the group and will face the runner-up in Group H while the United States finish sec- ond and will face Group H’s win- ner. Portugal who beat Ghana 2-1 are eliminated with the Africans. The Germans dominated the game with Juergen Klinsmann’s team, with their backs against the wall, creating very few chances. The breakthrough came after 55 minutes when Tim Howard par- ried out a Per Mertesacker header but Mueller collected the loose ball on the edge of the area and superbly side-footed into the bottom corner. “For once I scored a beautiful goal. If I don’t watch out I’ll become a legend? OK, I won’t watch out,” Mueller told ZDF Television after being told he had outscored Diego Maradona in World Cups. “We are ready for the knockout stage. We keep working hard and we are full of team spirit.” The game had been threat- ened by a torrential downpour in the north-eastern city of Recife yesterday morning but the heavy rain that hampered the prepara- tions of fans and players alike eased to a drizzle as kickoff approached.

I am a very stubborn person who is always very argumentative in football discussions but I always win. Implied in his coverage of the trophy laden Highbury years is the vital role played by David Dein, and it is clear that Cross believes that his departure from the board was a real loss for Wenger. In fairness to Ferguson, his hostility was always a positive sign for Arsenal and Wenger. John Cross has produced a balanced analysis of a manager who provokes quite extreme responses. As Cross rightly says though, how likely is it that a manager would survive at the top for 30 years and achieve all that Wenger has without at least some appreciation of the tactical side of the game? John Cross started his career working for the Islington Gazette, and it was there that he began to develop his unrivalled contacts at Arsenal. Arsene Wenger is fiercely private regarding both his personal and working life and that is why he is a fascinating subject. When Arsene Wenger arrived at Arsenal in , he was little known to fans at the club and many doubted he could bring back the glory days of George Graham. Theo Walcott has hit out at Arsenal 's mentality during the latter years of Arsene Wenger 's reign, claiming they were happy as long as they finished fourth.

To overcome this challenge, we use data from professional soccer, where employees of the same club face different external career opportunities de- pending on their nationality. We test whether the career prospect of being selected to a Euro Cup national team affects players' pre-Cup performances, using nationals of countries that did not participate in the Euro Cup as a control group. We find that the Euro Cup career prospect has positive effects on the performances of play- ers with intermediate chances of being selected to their national team, but negative effects on the performances of players whose selection is very probable.

Avenida Publicado: 21/09/2017 | 06:12 pm Chile, primer semifinalista La selección chilena derrotó hoy 1-0 a su similar de Uruguay, a la que no vencía desde la Copa América 1983 Publicado: Miércoles 24 junio 2015 | 11:50:55 pm. Publicado por: José Luis López La anfitriona selección de Chile mostró hoy su excelente trato al balón, y apoyada en las habilidades de su volante creativo Jorge «el mago» Valdivia, controló el mediocampo en la grama del estadio Nacional de Santiago, para vencer 1-0 al monarca exponente Uruguay y así convertirse en el primer clasificado para las semifinales de la Copa América. Chile, el equipo más pequeño de estatura entre los 12 participantes, tocaba y tocaba raso en busca del área chica rival. Por arriba, ni pensarlo. Y Uruguay se preparaba para hacerle daño en un contraataque o en una jugada a balón parado, con sus hombres de elevada estatura. Uruguay metía las piernas duras en el medio sector y eso complicaba el juego combinado de los locales, quienes poco a poco se fueron deshaciendo de esa presión del rival. Pasados los 10 minutos, la «Roja» de Sudamérica comenzó a aparecer, merced a la conexión de Valdivia con Alexis Sánchez, Arturo Vidal y Eduardo Vargas. Además, su carrilero derecho Mauricio Isla se desdobló con eficiencia y casi se convirtió en un extremo por ese lado del terreno. Pero el gol no llegó y así se fueron al descanso.

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.

Futbolistas desaparecidos* (Óscar Hahn) Después de haber hollado el frágil césped de esta efímera tierra, de esta cancha en la que alguna vez todos jugamos, los futbolistas desaparecidos están pisando un campo inmarchitable en la región donde no se vuelve. Juegan allí un partido sempiterno. Con la pelota inventan una danza, una voluta, un arabesco, un triángulo. Toma el balón Garrincha, se lo pasa de taco a Ferenc Puskás que acelera y lanza al arco: súper atajada del arquero Yashin, la araña negra. Giussepe Meazza inicia el contraataque. El Sapo Livingstone emprende el vuelo y desvía un misil vertiginoso. Stanley Matthews la cede a Fritz Walter. Este gira, dispara y da en el poste. Salta Obdulio Varela y de cabeza la coloca en el rincón de las ánimas. Las estrellas fugaces, los cometas, los asteroides copian en su curso cada jugada de los futbolistas.
