Spain equalled their record of nine straight wins with a 2-1 defeat of Greece here on Wednesday that confined the reigning champions to their third defeat of the tournament.
Andreas Charisteas opened the scoring for Greece before Ruben De la Red equalised and Daniel Guiza struck an 88th minute winner.
Spanish coach Luis Aragones immediately turned his thoughts to Sunday s quarter-final with Italy, for decades Spain s bogey side.
Now we are going to focus on the quarter-final with Italy. It will be complicated and we will have to be at 110 percent, said Aragones.
I think the team is ready for this kind of match. It learned a lot at the World Cup in 2006 when Spain looked very sharp only to crash out to France in the second phase.
There was no…
Mason Greenwood will go on trial in November 2023 on charges of attempted rape, assault, and coercive behaviour.
The Manchester United forward, who remains suspended by his club, has been re-bailed until February. All three charges relate to the same woman.
Greenwood appeared at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court on Monday, where he only spoke to confirm his name, date of birth and address.
It was announced an expected 10-day trial will begin on November 27, 2023. No pleas to charges were entered.
A pre-trial hearing will take place on February 10, with United s suspension of the player imposed until further notice .
The 21-year-old was charged by the Crown Prosecution Service in October. He was arrested the same month over a breach of bail co…
Peru and Venezuela will bid to repeat their success at the previous Copa America when they get their Group A campaigns up and running.
Both sides reached the quarter-finals at the special Centenario edition in 2016, but being in a pool alongside hosts Brazil means they are likely battling for second place this time around.
Venezuela s record goalscorer Salomon Rondon is likely to lead the line, keeping Josef Martinez out of the team, while Peru will rely on Paolo Guerrero for their goals.
The veteran forward has hit 11 goals in his 19 career appearances at the Copa America, with Venezuela goalkeeper Wuilker Farinez wary of his threat.
This game will be key for us, said Farinez.
Peru are a strong and forceful team. All their players are import…
Sam Allardyce was shown the door as new owners Venky’s made their mark at Blackburn 13 years ago.
Despite Rovers sitting relatively comfortably in 13th place in the Premier League table, the Indian owners made the decision to sack Allardyce on December 13, 2010, a month after taking over.
“We have taken this decision as part of our wider plans and ambitions for the club,” they said in a statement.
Allardyce, who had been in charge for two years and guided the team to a 10th-placed finish in the 2009-10 season, was as surprised as anyone, saying: “I am very shocked and disappointed to be leaving Blackburn.
“I am extremely proud to have managed this club and I enjoyed a fantastic relationship with the players, my staff and the supporters during my…

NFL Week 3 odds are on the board as the 2023 season picks up steam. And with two weeks of results under our belts, NFL bettors know just enough to be dangerous. This is a good time to remember the betting basics.
Whether you’re wagering on Week 3 or Week 13, however, Rule No. 1 remains the same: Sift through NFL odds to get the best number for your opinion.
That means jumping on early spreads and Over/Under totals before they adjust or waiting out the market moves before buying back the other side. That’s what I do every Sunday night with my “Bet Now, Bet Later” lines.
Here are my NFL picks to bet on now, and a couple of lines to watch as the week unfolds.

It’s an NFC North clash between the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings and tonight’s NFL odds have done very little to seperate them.
The Bears enter as losers of three of their last four games, while the Vikings saw their five-game winning streak come to an end last week in Denver.
Can Justin Fields and the Bears pull off the upset? Or will Josh Dobbs and the Vikings be too much to handle at home?
While there are a number of different subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to watch this game… did you know that you can also live stream Bears/Vikings directly from legal sports betting sites?

Tee Higgins came into the NFL the same time as his quarterback Joe Burrow, and the two have fit like a glove since — highlighted by a trip to the Super Bowl in 2021. Higgins has recorded 24 touchdowns, 257 receptions, and over 3,600 receiving yards during his first four years in the league, but now it’s decision time.
Higgins is entering free agency and may look for somewhere new to call home. The one big question that looms however is if the Cincinnati Bengals will use the franchise tag to keep Higgins for at least one more year. That possibility is a big reason why Cincy is favored to maintain Higgins’ services, but let’s look at the NFL odds to see what jersey Tee will be wearing when he takes his first snap in the 2024 season.

Lamar Jackson is far from your typical NFL quarterback, but that’s not to say he hasn’t made his mark on the position in just five years in the league.
As one of the most dynamic dual-threat QBs the sport has ever seen, Jackson has a playmaking ability that makes even the best defensive coordinators break out in a cold sweat.
That talent helped him land MVP honors in 2019 — becoming only the second to do so by unanimous vote (Tom Brady, 2010) — after throwing for over 3,100 yards and 36 touchdowns and adding another 1,200 yards and seven TDs on the ground.
He’s spent his early years with the Baltimore Ravens in a consistently competitive AFC North division — let’s see how he’s stacked up in our team-by-team breakdown below.
