Back-to-back wins for Tottenham Hotspur. What is this? Yes, we know, shock horror, right?

Thomas Frank’s time in charge of the Lilywhites has not been smooth sailing so far and prior to Spurs’ win over Brentford last weekend, they had not won a game of football since the end of October.

November was a horror month for Frank, one that already raised questions about his future. However, the north Londoners are now on the right track again and they have Xavi Simons to thank for two inspirational displays in the last two games.

Xavi Simons' Spurs turnaround

While Simons’ goal against Slavia Prague in their 3-0 win on Tuesday came from the penalty spot, this has been a much-improved few days for the Dutchman who appears to be coming good in Spurs colours at long last.

Simons also found the net in the win over Brentford on Saturday and appears to be a lot happier with how things are going now.

Speaking after the game, the Netherlands international said: “It is really nice to score the goals, but feeling great on the pitch, that is the most important for me and I’m enjoying it. So, really happy to be in this moment.”

Also making an appearance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday was club legend, Son Heung-min.

The South Korean left Spurs behind in the summer for a new adventure with LAFC in MLS and he was back in England this week to finally wave goodbye to fans after a decade of service.

Simons commented: “I didn’t meet Son (before) personally and now a little bit. He is a big legend for the club and it’s a real pleasure for me to take this number and build my own legacy, so really happy to meet him.”

Son waves farewell to Spurs

Son scored 173 goals in 454 appearances for Spurs, with his final competitive appearance in the historic Europa League triumph over Manchester United back in May.

The South Korean paraded the trophy around the stadium days after that victory in Bilbao, but left in pre-season to sign for LAFC. Thus, he did not have the chance to say goodbye until this week.

An emotional evening started with Son’s mural being unveiled on the High Road before he spoke to the crowd and promised, “I will always be Spurs.”

Speaking to Korean media after, he stated: “First of all, I’m happy to be back in a place where I spent my youth and is like a home. I’m so grateful that so many fans welcomed me and cheered for me. It was a little hard (on Monday) because the flight time was longer than I thought, but I had a really happy day. Thank you so much.”

Mathys Tel, who was only drafted into Spurs’ Champions League squad this week as a replacement for the injured Dominic Solanke, was delighted to see Son.

Tel added: “Sonny is like my big brother. He is always texting me, his support is always behind me, so back in the Champions League, we won and Sonny was there… a lot of good things. Sonny is a big legend at Tottenham, so when a guy like Sonny comes after he did everything, you give everything for him.”

علق فاروق جعفر، لاعب الزمالك السابق، على اختيارات حسام حسن المدير الفني لـ منتخب مصر، لقائمة اللاعبين المشاركين في بطولة كأس أمم إفريقيا 2025 بالمغرب.

وأعلن حسام حسن، قائمة تضم 28 لاعبًا لخوض المعسكر الأخير، قبل خوض منافسات بطولة كأس أمم إفريقيا القادمة بنهاية شهر ديسمبر الجاري.

وقال جعفر خلال تصريحات عبر برنامج “نمبر وان” المذاع على قناة “سي بي سي”: “قائمة منتخب مصر التي أعلنها كابتن حسام حسن دائمًا ما يكون المدير الفني له وجهة نظر، لأنه يرى اللاعبين في الملعب ويعرف مستواهم الفني، وأكيد يفضّل اللاعبين الذين يلعبون في البطولات الإفريقية، ونحن هنا نتكلم عن الأهلي والزمالك وبيراميدز”.

وأضاف: “حسام حسن لديه الخبرة ويختار اللاعبين الذين سيستفاد منهم، والقائمة مقنعة وليس بها ظلم، وعن ناصر ماهر، والاختيار سيكون بين الثلاثي ناصر ماهر وزيزو وإمام عاشور، لو أنا سأختار إمام وزيزو بالفعل مثل اختيار حسام”.

وتابع: “زيزو لديه خبرات عالية جدًا، وإمام عاشور أسهمه عالية جدًا، وفي المباراة السابقة مع النادي الأهلي لعب دقائق معدودة وأحرز هدف”.

بخصوص اختيار صلاح محسن مهاجم المصري، أوضح جعفر: “صلاح لاعب مميز، وآخر مباراة أحرز هدف مميز جدًا”.

وأكمل :”هناك فرق بين اللعب في الدوري المصري يشاهده 15 أو 20 ألف، وفرق بين من يلعب في بطولة إفريقية بها أفضل لاعبين في العالم، وفرق بها خبرات كبيرة تريد الفوز بالبطولة ومنافسات معنوية كبيرة”.

واستمر: “المدير الفني يبحث عن اللاعبين الذين لديهم المستوى الفني القريب من بعض، هذا الأساس يتم عليه اختيار لاعبي المنتخب”.

وأتم: “محمد صلاح من أفضل اللاعبين في العالم، والمنتخب يحتاج إلى اللاعبين أصحاب الخبرات، والأداء الفني لديهم قريب من بعض”.

Apesar do imbróglio judicial envolvendo o associativo e a 777 Partners, o Vasco tem trabalhado de maneira unificada em busca de dias melhores e para dar alegrias ao torcedor. Prova disso é a tentativa de repatriar Philippe Coutinho, cria de São Januário que está próximo de um acerto com o clube.

Com a 777 Partners em cena, a relação era mais fria e a sensação de quem olhava de fora era de distanciamento entre as partes. A decisão judicial fez com que o Vasco associativo assumisse o controle da SAF.

Com isso, Pedrinho pôde se aproximar, participar e ajudar mais da SAF. O presidente do Vasco mantém contato frequente com o CEO Lúcio Barbosa e o diretor de futebol Pedro Martins.

O Pedrinho tem feito contatos comigo e com a SAF, olhando para o bem do Vasco, independente de batalhas jurídicas. Tem questionado sobre o planejamento, temos passado todas as informações para ele. O Vasco já tinha um planejamento que vem sendo executado. Qualquer mudança de rota será feita em conjunto com o CRVG e todos os envolvidos nessas decisões

afirmou Pedro Martins após o Conselho Técnico Extraordinário na sede da CBF

Quando se trata de Philippe Coutinho, Pedrinho foi diretamente em pessoas próximas ao meia-atacante. Já Pedro Martins conversou com os representantes. No momento, o que impede o retorno do jogador é a rescisão com o Aston Villa, da Inglaterra.

Philippe Coutinho não foi o único grande nome a ser trabalhado por Pedrinho. Segundo informações apuradas pelo Lance!, o meia Thiago Alcântara, filho de Mazinho, que foi ex-jogador do Vasco e da Seleção Brasileira, chegou a receber uma sondagem do Vasco. No entanto, é um negócio improvável de acontecer em razão da vontade do jogador de ainda permanecer na Europa, do alto salário do astro e da condição física do atleta.

Thiago Alcântara jogou apenas cinco minutos na temporada 2023/2024.

– Nunca foi minha intenção retomar o futebol. Sempre usei as palavras colaborar e contribuir. Tudo que eu possa vir a indicar futuramente, eu indiquei para a 777 lá atrás. Indiquei membros para a comissão técnica, jogadores com números financeiros bons e capacidade técnica acima da média, acreditando que eles tinham dinheiro, por que eu faria isso se quero o mal da 777? Indiquei profissional que hoje serve à seleção brasileira (Rodrigo Caetano) para ser diretor. Sempre quis o bem do Vasco – afirmou Pedrinho em coletiva.

Na última semana, a Justiça do Rio teve um movimento favorável ao Vasco associativo ao manter a liminar obtida em primeira instância. Dentro das quatro linhas, o Cruz-Maltino volta a campo neste domingo (2), às 16h, para fazer um clássico. O rival será o Flamengo pela 7ª rodada do Brasileirão.

Left-arm quick’s T20 World Cup hopes all but dashed after being ruled out of the entire BBL with an ongoing back injury

Alex Malcolm03-Dec-2025

Spencer Johnson’s hopes of playing for Australia in the T20 World Cup early next year have been dealt a hammer blow after he was ruled out of the upcoming BBL season because of a back injury.Johnson has not played since the IPL, where he suffered back pain that he initially thought was a recurrence of a disc issue he had dealt with previously. The 29-year-old left-arm quick then suffered more pain while training ahead of the July T20I tour of the West Indies and scans showed a stress fracture.He underwent months of rehab which included pilates and swimming while waiting for the bone to heal. He had another scan in October and was hopeful he would be cleared to play in the BBL in the new year.Related

But Brisbane Heat confirmed on Wednesday that their title-winning quick would be unavailable for the entire season.”Spencer continues to recover from a back injury and pleasingly, this is improving. However, the latest time-frame for his return to play does not enable him to participate in the BBL this season,” Heat CEO Terry Svenson said. “We’re all disappointed for Spencer but will provide him with ongoing support as he continues to recover.”Australia’s first game of the T20 World Cup is on February 11, which means it is almost certain he will not be fit in time to push his case for selection in the final 15-man squad. Johnson was seen as a potential long-term replacement for Mitchell Starc, who has retired from T20I cricket. But while Johnson has been injured, Australia have won three of their four T20I series with a pace attack of Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Ellis, Ben Dwarshuis and Xavier Bartlett gelling nicely. Pat Cummins could also return for the World Cup if fit.Johnson will continue to do his rehab in Adelaide where he lives and is domestically contracted with South Australia. Johnson has nominated for the IPL auction at the second-highest base price of 150 lakh (AUD$252957) and is hopeful of being fit and available for the tournament if bought after being released by Kolkata Knight Riders at the end of last season.”I’ve had plenty of expert support from everyone involved in the process and I am very confident that I will be back and doing what I love as soon as possible,” Johnson said.Meanwhile, England left-arm quick Reece Topley has signed with Sydney Thunder as an overseas replacement for Lockie Ferguson. Topley will play with Thunder for the first half of the season while Ferguson is at the ILT20. Topley will head to the SA20 when Ferguson returns to the BBL for the second half of the season.

تحدث جيمي ريدناب، محلل بكة سكاي سبورتس البريطانية عن افتقاد صلاح لشيء ما مع ليفربول تحت قيادة آرني سلوت في ظل عدم مشاركته أساسيًا في مباراتين متتاليتين.

وواجه ليفربول نظيره سندرلاند مساء أمس، الأربعاء، ضمن منافسات الجولة الرابعة عشر من بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي.

وحسم التعادل الإيجابي 1/1 مباراة ليفربول أمام سندرلاند في مواجهة قوية للغاية واستمرت إثارتها حتى اللحظات الأخيرة.

ولم يبدأ صلاح المباراة أساسيًا للمرة الثانية بعد جلوسه على دكة البدلاء أمام وست هام في المباراة الماضية، وحل بديلًا أمام سندرلاند مع بداية الشوط الثاني.

وقال ريدناب في حديثه عن استبعاد صلاح بعد المباراة: “لا أعتقد أن الأمر سيختلف عما حدث عندما تم استبعاد آلان شيرار من قبل رود خوليت قبل سنوات عديدة وانتهى الأمر بصدام كبير حيث كان يجب على أحدهما الرحيل، لكن يبدو الأمر وكأن شيئًا ما يجب أن يحدث”.

وأضاف: “لن يكون محمد صلاح راضيًا على الإطلاق عن كونه لاعبًا صغيرًا في هذا الفريق”.

وأردف: “سواء كان ذلك في يناير أو في الصيف، إذا وجد الأندية المناسبة، أعتقد أنه لديه الحق في الرحيل إذا لم تسر الأمور في طريقه”.

واستطرد: “لا أستطيع إلا أن أتوقع هذه النتيجة، الآن وقد انكسرت الثقة، وخاصةً مع لاعب مثل صلاح، فهو بحاجة إلى هذه الثقة والحب من المدرب”.

وأتم: “صلاح سيشارك في كأس أمم إفريقيا وكان يجب على المدرب إشراكه في المباريات لأنه بطبيعة الحال سيغيب لمدة 8 مباريات عن ليفربول”.

– É público que o Flamengo vem fazendo análises para compra daquele terreno (perto do Viaduto do Gasômetro). Já tivemos reuniões com a Caixa Econômica Federal, que é a gestora do fundo que é dono do terreno. Já demonstramos nosso interesse, existem trabalhos adicionais que ficaram de ser feitos ao longo dos próximos dias, em reuniões para demonstrar alguns pontos que defendemos junto à Caixa – afirmou o presidente do Flamengo.

– É um trabalho em andamento. Eu espero que acabe tendo sucesso, porque lá é o terreno que nós escolhemos como nossa prioridade. Existem duas outras opções que a gente tem. Mas de fato lá é nossa primeira opção, se, por ventura, a gente não conseguir lá, vamos passar para a segunda opção – completou Landim, sobre o projeto do estádio.

O terreno o qual o Rubro-Negro planeja construir sua arena é avaliado em R$ 250 milhões. Caso queira adquirir o local, o Flamengo precisaria apresentar uma proposta de compra do terreno, que possivelmente deverá ser por meio de uma PPP (Parceria Público-Privada) entre o clube carioca e a Caixa Econômica. Essa fase ainda não aconteceu.

It would be fair to say that the atmosphere around Tottenham Hotspur is not a positive one at the moment.

Thomas Frank’s side might be sixth in the Premier League, but the performances so far this season have been hard to stomach, none more so than the one against Chelsea on Saturday.

Despite being at home, the North Londoners were utterly toothless, bereft of ideas, and the player who best encapsulated their dire display was summer signing Xavi Simons.

It’s still early in his Spurs career, but so far, the Dutch international has been a massive disappointment and should therefore be dropped for another young talent who could perhaps offer a little more urgency.

Simons' start to life at Spurs

Perhaps in part due to missing out on Eberechi Eze, there was a tremendous amount of excitement in the Spurs fan base when Simons was announced.

After all, he’s long been considered one of the most exciting young attackers in European football and, at one point, looked destined to join Chelsea.

Unfortunately, it would be fair to say that the 22-year-old has come nowhere close to justifying the hype so far this season.

In 12 appearances for the club, he has failed to score a single goal and has provided just one assist, which came in his first appearance, away to West Ham in gameweek four.

With that said, while that is a poor return, could it be that the former PSV Eindhoven gem is simply someone who starts seasons a little slower than most?

Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case.

For example, in his first 11 games for RB Leipzig last year, before he got injured, the Amsterdam-born gem managed to score three goals and provide two assists.

Likewise, the campaign preceding that saw the youngster rack up an even better tally of four goals and five assists in his first 12 matches, excluding the curtain-raising DFL-Super Cup.

Therefore, while it would be nice to say that Simons is doing what he does every season and will therefore eventually come good, that is not the case.

Therefore, Frank should keep him on the bench for now and look towards the academy for a temporary solution.

Spurs' Simons solution

With Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison still out, Frank could and probably should look to the likes of Lucas Bergvall and Pape Matar-Sarr to start ahead of Simons.

However, there is another, far bolder option, one he could go with for the ‘easier’ games, or as a first option from the bench ahead of the Dutchman.

That option is Hotspur Way’s most exciting prospect since Mikey Moore: Luca Williams-Barnett.

Now, the first argument one might put forward here is that the Englishman is too young.

However, that would carry a lot more weight if the suggestion was to start the youngster in game after game, but that is not the case.

Instead, it might be worthwhile for Frank and the club to use the youngster as a substitute more often, and then potentially against the weaker teams, hand him a start.

After all, at 17 years old, he is two years older than Arsenal’s Max Dowman, and according to respected analyst Ben Mattinson, is “one of England’s best talents”.

Moreover, when you take a look at his form for the youth sides, it’s clear that he’s way beyond that level now and more than deserving of more senior football.

For example, in 11 games for the junior side this season, he has scored eight goals and provided seven assists, which is an average of 1.36 goal involvements every game.

Last season, he was even more effective, scoring 20 goals and providing 12 assists in just 23 appearances, which works out to an average of 1.39 goal involvements per game.

Ultimately, even if it is not from the start, Williams-Barnett has earned the right to play some meaningful minutes for Spurs this season.

Moreover, picking him over Simons could be the wake-up call the Dutchman needs to start playing to people’s expectations.

The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports has made clear that bilateral contests are off but matches in multi-nation tournaments can go ahead

ESPNcricinfo staff21-Aug-2025

India will not host or visit Pakistan for bilateral contests, but their athletes and teams can take part in multi-nation events that also involve Pakistan, clearing the path for their upcoming fixtures in the men’s Asia Cup in September and the women’s ODI World Cup in October.Pakistan sportspersons can also participate in multilateral events hosted by India.The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports set down these guidelines in a statement, clarifying the Indian government’s position on sporting relations with Pakistan at a time of strained political relations between the two South Asian countries. The statement left one question unanswered: whether Indian athletes can take part in multilateral events hosted by Pakistan.Related

The statement comes less than three weeks from the scheduled start of the Asia Cup in the UAE, where India and Pakistan, drawn in the same group, are set to meet at least once (on September 14 in Dubai), and potentially up to three times. It will be India’s first cricket match against Pakistan since the two countries exchanged cross-border hostilities following the Pahalgam terror attack in April.There have been calls, in this climate, for India to boycott all sporting contact with Pakistan. During July’s World Championship of Legends, a tournament featuring retired players, both matches between the teams from the two countries had been abandoned, with the India Champions forfeiting their semi-final against the Pakistan Champions.With the Indian government making its stand clear, India now have official sanction to play Pakistan in the Asia Cup, which was originally to be hosted by India before being moved to the UAE in July.”In so far as bilateral sports events in each other’s country are concerned, Indian teams will not be participating in competitions in Pakistan. Nor will we permit Pakistani teams to play in India,” the ministry’s statement said.In a time of heightened geopolitical tensions, calls for India to boycott all sporting contact with Pakistan have grown louder•Associated Press

“With regard to international and multilateral events, in India or abroad, we are guided by the practices of international sports bodies and the interest of our own sportspersons. It is also relevant to take into account India’s emergence as a credible venue to host international sports events.”Accordingly, Indian teams and individual players will take part in international events that also have teams or players from Pakistan. Similarly, Pakistani players and teams will be able to participate in such multilateral events hosted by India.”To position India as a preferred destination for hosting international sporting events, the visa process for sportspersons, team officials, technical personnel, and office-bearers of International Sports Governing Bodies shall be simplified. In respect of office-bearers of International Sports Governing Bodies, a multi-entry visa shall be granted on priority basis for the duration of their official tenure, subject to a maximum period of five years. This shall facilitate their smooth movement into and within the country, in accordance with international norms. Due protocol and courtesies, as per established practice, shall be extended to the Heads of International Sports Governing Bodies during their visits to India.”The statement lays down in unambiguous terms what have been the Indian government’s unwritten guidelines for cricketing engagements with Pakistan for more than a decade. The two countries have not met in a bilateral series in any format since 2012, but they have faced off multiple times at the ODI and T20 World Cups, the Champions Trophy and the Asia Cup.Pakistan have visited India for the T20 World Cup in 2016 and the ODI World Cup in 2023, but India did not visit Pakistan for the 2025 Champions Trophy. Their matches, including their semi-final and final, were played in Dubai. The BCCI and the PCB have agreed on this hybrid model for all remaining ICC events in the 2024-27 cycle.
