Brazil should have no regrets despite their failure to progress beyond the World Cup quarter-finals, says goalkeeper Alisson.
The Selecao drew 1-1 with Croatia after extra time at Education City Stadium on Friday, with Bruno Petkovic having cancelled out Neymar s record-equalling opener.
Brazil could not regain the momentum in the shoot-out, with Rodrygo missing their first penalty and Marquinhos hitting the post with his attempt as Croatia claimed a 4-2 triumph to seal their place in the last four for a second World Cup running.
Alisson was unable to keep out any of Croatia s penalties but he believes Brazil – who will also be under the tutelage of a new coach after Tite reiterated his plan to leave his post – should not reflect too harshly on their performa…
Would will be at next year s World Cup in Brazil Cristiano Ronaldo or Zlatan Ibrahimovic?
Portugal claimed a 1-0 victory over Sweden last night in the first leg of their World Cup play-off courtesy of a late Cristiano Ronaldo goal at the Estadio Da Luz.
With a second leg still the come in Scandinavia the tie is very delicately balanced.
Unfortunate
Unfortunately for the world one of the world’s most high-profile attackers will miss out on the competition, with Sweden’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo of Portugal facing each other in the play-off tie.
These are the sort of players that fans want to see at a World Cup, but one of them will not be at next year’s competition.
Both players have excited and enthralled us down the years in …
The Saudi Pro League continues to edge closer to competing with Europe s elite competitions as lucrative contracts entice players who work for money .
That was the message from Portuguese winger Fabio Martins, who switched Braga for Saudi Arabian football and plays his football for top-tier side Al Khaleej.
Martins compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo – as well as Neymar, Karim Benzema, Sadio Mane, Jordan Henderson and N Golo Kante – all followed suit with moves from Europe to the Middle East and have reaped financial rewards.
The ethics of those transfers, in a country where same-sex marriage is prohibited alongside questions over its human-rights record, have been scrutinised – but Martins understands why Europe s top talent are moving ashore.
Martins, a …
Blaise Matuidi has challenged Paris Saint-Germain to extend their record Ligue 1 points haul in the last two matches of the season, starting at Bordeaux on Wednesday.
After battering Troyes 9-0 on March 13 to secure a fourth successive domestic title, PSG lost their next match to Monaco and also bowed out of the Champions League quarter-finals to Manchester City.
However, PSG are now back in form, having churned out five successive league victories, scoring 20 and conceding only one in the process.
Edinson Cavani s hat-trick in a 4-0 demolition of Gazelec Ajaccio on Saturday lifted them to 92 points a record tally for the French top flight.
Other benchmarks have tumbled as well. Victory at Bordeaux would complete a return of 50 points in away matches this…
Felix Magath believes that he will remain in charge at Fulham regardless of whether they retain their Premier League status.
The German is the third man to take the reins at Craven Cottage this season and is charged with steering the club clear of the relegation zone.
He was denied a victory in his opening game in charge against West Brom on Saturday, Matej Vydra scoring late on to seal a 1-1 draw and extend Fulham s winless run in the league to seven matches.
Rock-bottom Fulham are in very real danger of losing their top-flight status but, even if that does happen, Magath insists that he is in it for the long haul.
I am convinced we are able to challenge the best as I definitely have the ambition to establish myself as a Premier League manager, he said in quotes…

Tim Sherwood has left Tottenham after the club opted to exercise a break clause in his contract.
Sherwood moved up from his role in Spurs youth set-up to replace the sacked Andre Villas-Boas in December, eventually leading the club to sixth in the Premier League.
However, his tenure has been littered with rumours he would be replaced at the end of the campaign, despite signing an 18-month contract at White Hart Lane.

We agreed an 18-month contract with a break clause at the end of the season and we have now exercised that option.
On behalf of the club, I should like to state our thanks for all his efforts during his years with us. We wish him gre…
Adelaide United s winless run is set to continue as they face nemesis the Central Coast Mariners in the weekend s A-League action.
The Reds have not won since Round 1, picking up three points in eight games since to sit above only the winless Wellington Phoenix and Melbourne Heart on the table.
However, of arguably more concern to the boys from Coopers Stadium is their horrendous recent record against the Mariners with the Gosford-based club winning their past nine against the South Australian outfit.
Adelaide s last win over the Mariners came in September 2009, and they have failed to beat them in 12 fixtures since.
The Mariners are unbeaten in their past three, and a 10th straight win over Adelaide could see them overtake Newcastle (third) or Sydney (fourth) de…
