Swedish star seals 4-3 victory in first ever Los Angeles derby Galaxy stun cross-city rivals LAFC after coming back from 3-0 down As it happened: Read Graham Parker’s minute-by-minute report Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a man who needs no encouragement to make headlines, took all of 19 minutes to establish his MLS legend. The Swede came on as a substitute in the 71st minute for his LA Galaxy debut with his team 3-1 down. He promptly scored a brilliant goal: a dipping volley over the keeper from 40 yards out. That, of course, wasn’t enough for the man who announced his arrival in MLS by telling the press that “the lion is hungry”. He went on to score the winner in added time as Galaxy beat LA FC in the first ever Los Angeles derby. AMAZING. #zLAtan #LAvLAFC https://t.co/xyk78K6xSr Continue reading... from Football | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/mar/31/zlatan-ibrahimovic-la-galaxy-debut-goal-mls-lafc-soccer

• Manager blames loss of experienced players over past year • Italian again refuses to commit his future to Stamford Bridge Antonio Conte says it is no surprise that Chelsea lag behind Tottenham in the Premier League table because many members of his young squad have not yet developed a winning personality. The manager suggested that last season’s title triumph in his first season at Stamford Bridge was slightly freakish and said the club is still rebuilding following the loss in recent years of serial champions, with John Terry, Branislav Ivanovic and Petr Cech among those to depart.

Argentinian says he enjoys derby games most because of their intensity and there should be no lack of that at Stamford Bridge after the fiery draw between the two sides in May 2016 The Superclásico between the Buenos Aires rivals River Plate and Boca Juniors is a writhing, seething mass of colour and emotion, and it has come to represent the industry standard for the harum-scarum derby. Érik Lamela played in it for River and the Tottenham winger can tell the story of how his team’s bus arrived at Boca’s La Bombonera in May 2011 without any glass in the windows. The stones hurled by the home supporters provided the ventilation. “In Argentina the derby is different,” Lamela says. “Outside the pitch it’s different. You have to see it to realise it. It’s much more than just one game. You have to win. If not, you are the worst. It’s too much. It’s not balanced.” Continue reading... from Football | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/mar/31/erik-lamela-tottenham-chel

What a relief it was for the West Ham hierarchy that the only boos at the London Stadium floated out of the away end. There were no pitch invasions, no missiles thrown at the directors’ box. David Gold and David Sullivan were able to keep Sir Trevor Brooking company until the final whistle this time and if there was a hint of mutiny, it came from the Southampton fans who watched their bedraggled team sink closer towards the Championship on an afternoon when the hosts found a way to keep their bitter civil war hidden from their guests. Of course, it should be pointed out that Southampton did not even begin to flirt with the idea of testing the strength of West Ham’s truce. Mark Hughes’s side wilted in the face of some vintage East End defiance, collapsing in wretched fashion in the opening 45 minutes and wasting a fine opportunity to move out of the bottom three at the expense of their opponents.

With a delicate swipe of his right foot, Ayoze Pérez placed Newcastle in touching distance of Premier League survival and intensified Huddersfield’s relegation fears.

Burnley were the latest team to visit the Hawthorns and come away with a Premier League win after goals from Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood sealed the three points.

Paul Pogba returned to the starting line up, Romelu Lukaku scored his 100th Premier League goal and Alexis Sánchez rediscovered his finishing prowess, though this comfortable victory over a pedestrian Swansea side was not just about Manchester United’s expensive acquisitions. Following on from his excellent performance for England in midweek, Jesse Lingard was not just the star of another show, at times in the game he was running the show. Watching the 25-year-old lay on both goals it was hard to believe he was considered peripheral a few months ago, or that his first-team appearances seemed likely to be rationed after the arrival of Sánchez.

For 78 minutes Leicester were dreadful and the main question was whether Brighton would be able to summon enough quality to claim three points rather than settle for one against strangely lethargic visitors. They won a perfect opportunity to do so when a foul on José Izquierdo gave Glenn Murray a penalty. But Kasper Schmeichel produced a tremendous save – and six minutes later Vicente Iborra compounded the home team’s anguish by heading a Ben Chilwell cross into the bottom corner. Wilfred Ndidi was sent off moments later for a second bookable offence – although the midfielder protested that Shane Duffy tumbled without contact – but Leicester crowned their victory in stoppage time, when Jamie Vardy netted from a cross by Demarai Gray.

Jermain Defoe came off the bench to rescue a stoppage-time point for Bournemouth at Watford. Roberto Pereyra’s strike early in the second half looked as though it would be enough to secure victory for the Hornets but Defoe struck late as Eddie Howe’s side left Hertfordshire with a 2-2 draw.

The Swede brushed aside questions about his age and fitness with his trademark self-confidence on his first day with the MLS club As with all new recruits at LA Galaxy, Zlatan Ibrahimovic was greeted to the ‘Tunnel of Death’ indoctrination when he first stepped onto the StubHub Center training field on Friday morning. Ibrahimovic’s team-mates formed a passageway and took turns slapping his back, as the 36-year-old ran the gauntlet. Perhaps some will have needed the bravery of the ‘lion’ to strike the 6ft 5in frontman, yet he was all smiles afterwards.

It was a frantic and contentious contest and ultimately one of huge satisfaction for Liverpool as they recovered from going 1-0 down to secure a victory that shores up their place in the Premier League top four and provides ideal preparation ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League contest with Manchester City. To nobody’s great surprise, it was Mohamed Salah who struck Liverpool’s later winner, a calm and precise finish from Andy Robertson’s cross on 84 minutes that took the Egyptian’s tally to 39 goals in what continues to be a remarkable debut season. In the broader sense for the visitors, this triumph displayed their capacity to carve out a win even when they are not playing well, which was the case here, and will only deepen Crystal Palace’s sense of regret after they had taken the lead through Luka Milivojevic’s 13 minute penalty.

If life at the London Stadium was that straightforward, however, they would not be fortifying security in front of the directors’ box and there would be no clamour for the trio running West Ham United to stay away from home games for the rest of the season.

• Midfielder may reject £80,000-a-week, ‘take-it-or-leave-it’ offer • Club sanguine about chances of player leaving in summer Arsenal fear Jack Wilshere will reject their offer of a new contract and leave on a free transfer in the summer. Arsène Wenger has previously suggested the club have made him a take-it-or-leave-it offer and, at the moment, it looks as though the midfielder will do the latter. Everton, West Ham and Juventus have been linked with a move for the 26-year-old. Arsenal have proposed a heavily incentivised deal because they are mindful of Wilshere’s terrible fitness record. He pulled out of Gareth Southgate’s England squad during the recent international break with a knee problem but the player has trained and is in contention to face Stoke at Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

Ruben Neves and Matt Doherty were sent off as Wolverhampton Wanderers lost their tempers on Teesside but even this ill-disciplined reduction to nine men failed to prevent Nuno Espirito Santo’s side from extending that apparently unassailable lead at the top. While Wolves require a maximum of three wins to rubber stamp promotion, Tony Pulis’s Middlesbrough cling on to sixth place on goal difference. If they are to reach, let alone win, the play-offs a team increasingly built around the very real attacking talents of Adama Traoré will need to be rather more ruthless than this. Although Patrick Bamford registered his ninth goal in seven games courtesy of a brilliant 94th-minute volley it proved too little too late.

• Goalkeeper impressed on England duty against the Netherlands • ‘He’s given Gareth a lot to think about,’ says Everton manager Sam Allardyce believes Jordan Pickford has strengthened his claims to be England’s World Cup goalkeeper not only with an impressive display in the Netherlands but his performances throughout Everton’s difficult season. Pickford has been one of Everton’s few transfer successes of last summer and enhanced his prospects of starting for Gareth Southgate’s team in Russia during England’s recent win in Amsterdam. The 24-year-old has conceded 50 Premier League goals in his debut season at Goodison Park but that statistic, Allardyce argues, reflects the team’s struggles and not the keeper’s form.

It is barely a year since the winger’s future at the Etihad appeared to be in doubt, but Guardiola is aware Sterling’s transformation this season into both a goalscorer and effective attacking threat will not have gone unnoticed.

Today’s rumours are having a good Friday Following his eye-catching hat-trick in Spain’s 6-1 demolition of Argentina , Isco celebrated by voicing his general discontent with his current lot at Real Madrid. “When a footballer doesn’t feel like he has a leading role and consistent playing time with his club, the national team gives him life,” he said, going on to add that Zinedine Zidane isn’t giving him the consistent playing time he needs. In the interests of harmony the Spanish playmaker tactfully added that “the problem is mine and I have to be able to earn it”, but managed to imply that the three goals he’d just fired past Willy Caballero are all the evidence anyone in their right mind should need to know he’s well worth a regular place in Zizou’s starting XI. It’s difficult to imagine any club bar the one that currently employs him not being delighted to have a player of Isco’s undeniable talents, so it’s little surprise that reports in the back pages suggest his comments have p

Paul Pogba and Kylian Mbappé shone against Russia but France should forget about winning the World Cup with this defence By Eric Devin for Get French Football News Paul Pogba’s ferocious performance against an admittedly poor Russia team on Tuesday was something to behold. He was dropped for the 3-2 defeat to Colombia last Friday and has been out of favour at Manchester United lately, but the midfielder was a force of nature in the 3-1 win against the World Cup hosts . After setting up Kylian Mbappé for the opener with an eye-of-the-needle pass, he made what had been a somewhat uneven match his own early in the second half, winning a free-kick and scoring from it. Even if Andrey Lunyov and Roman Neustadter were more than obliging in both instances, Pogba offered a firm rebuttal to his critics, showing just how decisive he can be.

Let’s cut the man some slack, though, for he wasn’t quite the congenital loser he’s usually painted as. True, the high-water mark of his playing career as a willowy, crowd-pleasing left winger – a man-of-the-match performance for Blackburn Rovers in the 1960 FA Cup final described as “magnificent” by this paper – earned him nothing more than personal plaudits and a runners-up medal after a comprehensive 3-0 defeat by Wolverhampton Wanderers. But there were notable achievements when he hung up his boots and clambered into the dugout. First, a couple of promotions with Ayr United, a club he very nearly took into Europe in the early 1970s. Then tangible success at last: a Scottish League Cup with Aberdeen in 1976, the club’s first triumph in the competition for two dec

With replays unwanted during the second world war a Play to the Finish rule came in. But, 72 years ago this week, exhausted Stockport and Doncaster players were halted only by darkness During the second world war competitive football continued in an irregular, somewhat confused manner, organisation being considerably more difficult when every able-bodied man of fighting – and therefore playing – age was in the armed forces or, at the very least, full-time employment. All unnecessary complications were avoided; tournaments were played regionally and quickly. In 1940 West Ham won the Football League War Cup, a tournament of some 137 games played in the space of only nine weeks. But replays, officials decided, had complicated matters unnecessarily. The following year drawn ties were awarded to the team with the superior league record, but this too caused unhappiness.

• ‘I’ve never known someone who’s as hungry and determined’ • Jack Wilshere fit for home game against Stoke City on Sunday Arsène Wenger’s hunger to lead Arsenal is stronger than ever before, according to his assistant manager, Steve Bould. Wenger’s future remains the hottest topic of discussion at the club, with a section of the fan-base adamant he should stand down after another season of Premier League failure. Wenger, for his part, has made it clear that he intends to see out the final season on his contract in 2018-19. The 68-year-old was unable to attend his media briefing before Sunday’s home fixture against Stoke City because of a sore throat and he sent Bould in his stead.

• McCarthy has been in charge of Ipswich for almost six years • ‘We both agreed that this was the best way forward,’ says owner Mick McCarthy will leave his job as Ipswich Town manager at the end of the season. The club’s owner, Marcus Evans, has confirmed the former Republic of Ireland manager will depart at the end of his contract after almost six years in charge. Evans said on Ipswich’s website : “Mick and I had a discussion and we both agreed that this was the best way forward for him and for Ipswich Town. It never got to the point where we actually talked about a new contract. It just felt right that it was time for us both to look at different options.” Continue reading... from Football | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/mar/29/mick-mccarthy-leave-ipswich-manager-end-of-season

This week’s roundup also features a cricketer failing to learn the aim of golf and Wayne Bridge being charitable with his fists 1) The Australians are not the first team to tamper with the ball; there is a long, rich history of it in cricket. There was Michael Atherton’s dirt-rubbing episode at Lord’s in 1994 during a Test against South Africa. Then in 2001, Sachin Tendulkar was at the centre of a furore around his dealing with the seam, which resulted in an international incident. Shahid Afridi was banned for two matches are he was caught biting the ball, although this was not due to the glorious taste of worn leather. In other cricket news: Haseeb Hameed not a golfer .

But Paul Harper calculates that swapping duplicates with friends will reduce cost to about £250 A maths professor from Cardiff has calculated that filling this year’s World Cup sticker book will cost collectors £773.60. Prof Paul Harper has devised a formula that suggests, given the probabilities of getting duplicate stickers, on average an individual would need to buy 967 packets or 4,832 stickers to get the set. As well as pictures of the 32 squads of players competing in Russia this summer, there are special stickers for national badges, team group shots and host city posters, making a total of 682 stickers needed to fill the book.

Four Manchester City players and two Burnley defenders feature in our controversial selection Hard to believe but the Premier League season is almost over. Where has the time gone? Feels like only yesterday José Mourinho was happy. Anyway, with the home stretch in sight, I’ve picked a Premier League XI of the season so far. My choices are sure to cause shock, horror and outrage but before the frothing commences let me make something clear: the team below are not made up of the 11 best players in their respective positions. Some are but others are players who have performed notably above expectation – individually or within a partnership/unit – and therefore are worthy of recognition. This also means there is a whacking great omission, one bordering on a national scandal, but I don’t care – I stand by my choices.

Today’s fluff is visualizing the realism of life and actuality The process. Jose Mourinho has been holding forth on it for quite a while now. Yet it has not always been obvious precisely what it is. But details are now emerging. The next step in the meticulous restoration of Manchester United’s football heritage is, according to certain news organs at least, to shovel the entire contents of a fair-size bank into the pockets of Cristiano Ronaldo. Apparently United have offered to give the 33-year-old an annual salary of nearly £27m if he returns to Old Trafford in the summer. Oh, and United will also pick up Gareth Bale. Well, when you’ve only got Marcus Rashford, Alexis Sanchez, Jesse Lingard, Anthony Martial and Juan Mata, you need to splash out to give yourself some attacking options. The good news is that if Bale does join, he should be in top fitness thanks to the advice he’s been getting from a former United wing wizard.

The 6-1 defeat against Spain, without Messi, showed Argentina’s chances of a third World Cup rest entirely on his shoulders What was meant to be a chance for Argentina to consolidate their idea of the game, to try different relationships on the field, to develop connectivity and strengthen the identity they have been seeking, ended in a historic defeat, described in turns as a suicide and a nightmare, compared to boxing for the metaphorical punches involved and tennis for the scoreline. A 6-1 hammering by Spain left the 27 Argentinians who had been called up to test their ability to blend with Lionel Messi sad – desolate even – and their lyrical manager, Jorge Sampaoli, and the rest of the world none the wiser, given Messi did not play in Madrid or in the win against Italy four days earlier.

Most World Cup teams played two games over the recent international break and here we assess how all of them fared An exhilarating week’s football from Spain has set down a marker. They could have won what was, for an hour, an excellent match in Germany and then obliterated a shoddy Argentina with a cocktail of intense pressing and clinical finishing. These were full-throttle performances of the kind Spain have not always managed in recent years; Andrés Iniesta was on sublime form but the sheer depth Julen Lopetegui can call upon was ominously evident in both games.

Sign up now ! Sign up now ! Sign up now ? Sign up now ! So enough evidence has been gathered for one thing to have become certain: VAR is going to start a nuclear war this summer. Whether you’re broadly in favour of the system or think it’s a philosophically flawed pursuit of a circle that can never be squared, you’re just kicking the tin can of subjectivity down the road, it causes more problems than it solves, I mean come off it, is it really worth getting a smattering of borderline decisions right at the cost of hours of NFL-style VT rock-and-rolling and days of interminable, semantic, legalistic post-hoc arguments over the exact definition of “clear and obvious error”, and for what, the dream of a perfection that can never realistically be achieved anyway, what price the soul of football, look, you’re not listening to me, listen to me, stop talking over me, stop shouting, did you just take a swing at me, take your hands off me, that’s the only rational conclusion to be drawn.
