صحيفة “ذا صن” البريطانية، أكدت أنه نتيجة لذلك، اضطر مشجعو المنتخب الإنجليزي إلى البحث عن بلدان مجاورة لقطر، لأماكن إقامة، مثل دبي والمملكة العربية السعودية والكويت وعمان.

وحصلت الصحيفة على آراء بعض المشجعين، ومن ضمنهم شخص يُدعى سايمون وينتي، الذي قال: “على الرغم من تكلفة الرحلة، سأوفر مبلغًا كبيرًا الغرفة أفضل بكثير”.

وأشارت الصحيفة إلى أن المصروفات الليلية في الإقامة داخل قطر، تصل إلى 93 جنيهًا إسترلينيًا في الليلة الواحدة.

وكشفت الصحيفة، عن وجود العديد من المشجعين الآخرين في قطر، بأسعار تزيد عن 184 جنيه إسترليني في الليلة، ويسكنون في كبائن معاد تصنيعها.

بينما صرح مشجع آخر يُدعى، بول كليج: “لقد حجزت للتو غرفة في أول أربع ليالٍ وأنا أدفع الكثير مقابل ذلك، لكنني لم أجد أي خيارات بأسعار معقولة، لذلك لست متأكدًا من المكان الذي سأقيم فيه بعد ذلك”.

Geeves called as Siddle's standby

Australia remain confident that Peter Siddle will be fit for the third Test despite the selectors calling for the Tasmania fast bowler Brett Geeves as a backup

Australia remain confident that Peter Siddle will be fit for the third Test despite the selectors calling for the Tasmania fast bowler Brett Geeves as a backup. Siddle bowled at full speed in the WACA nets on Monday and did not show any signs of the hamstring strain that troubled him in Adelaide, but much will depend on how he recovers after training.Following his bowling session, Siddle walked laps of the WACA with the team physio Alex Kountouris, who has spent much of the week working with Siddle in an effort to ensure he is fit for the Test starting on Wednesday. The wicketkeeper Brad Haddin said while Siddle was not yet a certain starter, the signs were positive.”There’s still a little bit of doubt around Peter,” Haddin said. “He bowled today, by all accounts he’s pulled up pretty well but with all these sort of injuries it’s not so much the first day, it’s how you pull up the next day. So he will have to be reassessed tomorrow but by all reports he pulled up pretty well after his spell today.”If Siddle does not prove his fitness before the Test, it would mean a likely debut for his Victorian team-mate Clint McKay, who was the 12th man in Adelaide and stayed with the squad for the Perth Test. The chairman of selectors Andrew Hilditch said that while Siddle was expected to be cleared, they were covering their bases by calling for Geeves, who was due to join the team in Perth on Monday night ahead of the series-deciding third game.”In order to ensure there is sufficient cover, a decision has been made to have Brett Geeves available as a standby player in Perth,” Hilditch said. “Brett gets his opportunity on the back of his recent strong performances in Sheffield Shield cricket and because the panel feels he will be well-suited to the conditions at the WACA should an opportunity present itself.”Geeves, a 27-year-old right armer, toured with the limited-overs team to South Africa earlier in the year, and has appeared in two ODIs and a Twenty20 international. However, his prospects seemed to suffer when he was not called up for the injury-hit visit to India in October and November.Five wickets in Tasmania’s Sheffield Shield win over Western Australia last week helped remind the selectors of his worth. In 39 first-class games he has taken 134 wickets at 34.41 and is well-known in Australian cricket circles for his lively blog. The country’s fast-bowling stocks are being tested with the contract holders Ben Hilfenhaus, Brett Lee and Stuart Clark on the injured list.

NUFC linked with Mavropanos transfer

Much to the presumed dismay of many Newcastle United fans, the Tyneside club currently have the worst defensive record in the Premier League this season with a total of 41 goals conceded in 18 games.

With this in mind and the fact that the January transfer window is close to opening, signing some new defensive reinforcements should be at the top of Newcastle’s priority list.

One potential name that the Magpies could look to sign that may help fix their defensive issues is Arsenal defender Konstantinos Mavropanos.

Having been linked with a move for the defender earlier in the month, it has recently been reported that it could take a fee of €30m (£25.2m) to secure his signature.

Currently on loan at German club Stuttgart, Mavropanos originally signed to Arsenal back in the 2018 January transfer window from Greek club PAS Giannina.

With just eight senior appearances for Arsenal under his belt, the 24-year-old has not been seen as a regular figure for the Gunners, with this current loan at Stuttgart being his second loan spell away since joining the north London club.

So far this season, Mavropanos, who is currently valued at £15.3m according to Transfermarkt, has used his time with Stuttgart to show off what a capable defender he is by racking up an average of 5.8 clearances, 2.4 interceptions and 1.9 tackles per game in the Bundesliga.

With this in mind, it could definitely be worth Newcastle exploring the possibility of potentially signing Mavropanos, who has been described as being a “gladiator” on the pitch by Stuttgart head coach Pellegrino Matarazzo in January if the owners are willing to spend the money that it would take to sign the defender.

If Newcastle were able to sign Mavropanos in January, this would give Toon manager Eddie Howe the opportunity to axe current Magpies defender Ciaran Clark.

He hasn’t had the best run of games in recent weeks after getting sent off in the early stages of their 1-1 draw against Norwich City, which was described as being a “crazy stupid” thing to do by Alan Shearer.

That was then followed by making an error that led to Manchester City’s first goal in their 4-0 defeat at St. James’ Park.

Therefore, the former Arsenal defender would clearly be an enormous upgrade.

Carille vê empate melhor ao Timão: 'Tem de saber jogar com a vantagem'

MatériaMais Notícias

Na visão do técnico Fábio Carille, o Campeonato Brasileiro estará aberto independentemente do resultado do duelo entre o líder Corinthians e o segundo colocado Palmeiras. O treinador, porém, admitiu que um empate “é muito melhor” para o Timão.

O Corinthians atualmente tem cinco pontos de vantagem para o Palmeiras. Já a diferença para o Santos, terceiro colocado, é de seis pontos. Por conta dessas distâncias, Carille quer o Timão “interligente” e “sabendo jogar com a vantagem” no Dérbi deste domingo.

– O empate é muito melhor para nós do que para o Palmeiras. Por isso que precisamos ser muito inteligentes. Não podemos esquecer do Santos. Vejo muito comentários só entre Corinthians e Palmeiras, mas tem outros times ainda, principalmente o Santos. Mas com certeza o empate é melhor para nós do que para o adversário – afirmou Carille, em entrevista coletiva nesta sexta-feira.

– Será um jogo equilibrado, tem de saber jogar com vantagem, não dá para se atirar em reta final de campeonato. Sobre a postura do Palmeiras, tenho muitas dúvidas. O Alberto (valentim, técnico alviverde) fez jogos indo para cima, mas conheço pouco dele, não vi enfrentar um time numa situação como essa – analisou o treinador corintiano.

Carille ainda destacou a importância de ganhar um clássico nesta reta final do Brasileirão. Mesmo em caso de vitória do Timão, que aumentaria a vantagem para o Palmeiras para oito pontos, o treinador acredita ser impossível perder o título para o rival.

– Ganhar sempre é bom, imagina um clássico. Sei como é a semana depois de ganhar um clássico, tem moral, a semana fica mais leve. Te fortalece nesse momento do campeonato. Coloca três jogos de diferença faltando seis rodadas. Fica muito mais difícil, mas não impossível – afirmou.

Corinthians e Palmeiras se enfrentam neste domingo, às 17h, na Arena em Itaquera, pela 32ª rodada do Brasileirão. Já o Santos entra em campo no sábado, contra o Atlético-MG, na Vila Belmiro.

Luverdense perde para o Boa Esporte e continua na zona de rebaixamento

MatériaMais Notícias

Em um duelo de times que têm como missão evitar o rebaixamento à Série C, o Boa Esporte conseguiu o melhor resultado. Com gol de Thaciano, o Boa superou o Luverdense , por 1 a 0, na noite desta terça-feira, no Estádio Passo das Emas, pela 36ª rodada da Série B do Campeonato Brasileiro.

Com 46 pontos, o Boa Esporte abriu seis pontos de vantagem do primeiro colocado na zona de rebaixamento, o Luverdense.

ESQUEMA TÁTICO EFICAZ

No primeiro tempo, o Boa Esporte optou por se manter recuado bloqueando os ataques do Luverdense e tentando aproveitar os contra-ataques. O Verdão do Norte, teve dificuldade de movimentação, mas procurou fazer as jogadas explorando as laterais do campo e deu trabalho ao goleiro Diogo Silva. Mesmo pressionando o Boa, o time não conseguiu converter as chances que teve em gols.

Aos 41, com um contra-ataque rápido, Thaciano fez o primeiro da partida para o Boa Esporte. O atacante Rodolfo recebeu a bola pela direita e cruzou rasteiro para o meia, que empurrou para o fundo das redes!

LUVERDENSE ACOMODADO

Durante a segunda etapa, chamou atenção a quantidade de passes errados no setor de meio-campo, de ambas as equipes.
O time do Luverdense caiu de rendimento e não mostrou poder de reação no segundo tempo, mesmo perdendo o jogo. No setor ofensivo,não apresentava perigo ao Boa Esporte. O time mineiro, por sua vez, fazia marcação forte e conseguiu segurar o resultado positivo.

PRÓXIMOS JOGOS

O Luverdense voltará a atuar pela Série B na próxima sexta-feira, quando visitará o Guarani, no Brinco de Ouro, às 19h15. Enquanto o Boa Esporte, receberá o Brasil de Pelotas, às 17h30, no Municipal de Varginha.

West Ham United: Fans react to footage ahead of Watford clash

Flocking to Twitter, lots of West Ham fans reacted to the stunning footage of goals against upcoming opponents Watford, comparing the sensational strikes of club captains Mark Noble and Declan Rice.

The Hammers are set to face Claudio Ranieri’s Watford at Vicarage Road later on this afternoon.

Since winning a string of Premier League games in October and early November, David Moyes’ side have only been able to win just one of their last seven league games, following their 3-2 loss to Southampton on Boxing Day.

However, the Irons can go into this game with a level of confidence, as Watford have lost four of their last five Premier League games against the Hammers.

These Hammers fans react to stunning club footage

West Ham took to Twitter to share a split video, comparing the goals scored by Noble and Rice in recent matches against the Hornets. Captioning the footage: “Two brilliant goals against Watford, but which was your favourite?!”, fans flocked to the comments to share their opinions.

Here’s what some of them said…

SNGPL overcome The Rest and enter final

A round-up of the fourth day’s action in the fifth round of the RBS Pentangular Cup

Cricinfo staff28-Jan-2010Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited held their nerve to pip The Rest at the post and surge into the finals of the RBS Pentangular Cup on a thrilling fourth day at the National Bank of Pakistan Sports Complex. Chasing 234, at a challenging run-rate, to face Habib Bank Limited in the final, The Rest seemed to be favourites at 176 for 5, before Yasir Shah and Mohammad Hafeez scripted the most dramatic of collapses. Amer Sajjad, whose quickfire fifty had taken his side to the home-stretch, was caught by captain Misbah-ul-Haq off Shah, triggering panic among the ranks. The last four wickets, inevitably including a run out, fell in a manic passage of play for the addition of three runs, as Shah and Hafeez ended with three scalps each.That SNGPL had an eventually defendable score to bowl at, was thanks to some sensible lower order batting earlier in the day. Resuming 150 ahead with five wickets standing, The Rest added a further 84 runs on a day when Shah could do no wrong. His patient 32 was crucial to the cause, as were the efforts of Usman Arshad and Adnan Akmal who made patient scores in the mid-twenties. Zulfiqar Babar scythed through the line-up, en route to impeccable figures of 41.2-20-55-7, and a ten-wicket match-haul. He deserved to be on the winning side, and Naved Khan’s assured fifty and Sajjad’s adventurous one almost ensured that it happened, but it was not to be.

Eduardo Baptista acredita em reação da Ponte Preta no Brasileirão

MatériaMais Notícias

Após a derrota por 2 a 0 para o Fluminense, na última segunda-feira, no Maracanã, o técnico da Ponte Preta, Eduardo Baptista reforçou a confiança na permanência da equipe na Série A do Campeonato Brasileiro.

– Vamos ganhar os jogos. Nós vamos brigar. Enfrentamos o Fluminense de igual para igual, mesmo com dez. Reafirmo para o torcedor: acredite. Abrace esses caras, esse grupo – pediu o treinador.

O resultado no Rio de Janeiro manteve a Ponte na 17ª colocação, com 39 pontos, um atrás do Vitória, primeiro time fora da degola. Como recebe os baianos no próximo domingo, em Campinas, a Macaca tem a chance de deixar o Z-4 no duelo direto. Se perder, a Ponte estará rebaixada para a Série B com uma rodada de antecedência.

Com o Atlético-GO rebaixado, sobram três vagas a serem preenchidas na zona da degola. Além de Ponte e Vitória, continuam lutando contra a queda para a Série B, o Sport, o Avaí e o Coxa, que tem situação mais confortável. São cinco equipes para três vagas restantes.

Porterfield's 46 powers successful run chase

Ireland weathered a strong fight-back from Afghanistan to claim their first win of the Associates Twenty20 Series at the P Sara Oval in Colombo.

Cricinfo staff01-Feb-2010
Scorecard
Ireland weathered a strong fightback from Afghanistan to claim their first win of the Associates Twenty20 Series at the P Sara Oval in Colombo. William Porterfield’s boundary-laden 46 powered Ireland’s reply to a sub-par 121 for 9 from Afghanistan before a brief middle-order collapse reduced Ireland from 91 for 2 to 98 for 5 in the space of 12 balls.Calm innings from John Mooney and Gary Wilson ensured the win, and with it a small measure of revenge after Afghanistan’s defeat of the Irish in the Intercontinental Cup a week ago and at the World Cup qualifiers last year.Earlier, Afghanistan struggled to replicate the pyrotechnics of yesterday’s game against Canada. Karim Sadiq, who top-scored with 69 in that game, was dismissed for single figures today, edging Trent Johnston through to Niall O’Brien. Johnston also accounted for Mohammad Shahzad before cutting short Shafiqullah’s threatening cameo and snaring Asghar Stanikzai for his fourth wicket.George Dockrell, the young left-arm spinner, showed just why he is so highly rated in Irish cricket circles, taking 2 for 11 in a superb display of control and variety. Andre Botha’s accurate medium pace proved too much for Afghanistan’s tail, and had it not been for Raees Ahmadzai’s unbeaten 33, the Afghans may not have even reached 100.After a strong start to their reply courtesy of O’Brien and Porterfield, Ireland’s chase stalled somewhat in the middle overs. Hameed Hasan and Sadiq slowed the flow of runs, sparking a nervous flutter in the middle order before Mooney and Wilson’s unbeaten 26-run partnership saw Ireland home.
