Absence Ruska zájem o MS v hokeji nesnižuje, ale chybí tam silný soupeř, řekl Petržela
Mezinárodní hokejová federace IIHF v únoru sice potvrdila, že kvůli pokračující invazi na Ukrajinu bude i světový šampionát příští rok bez Ruska a Běloruska. Pokud ale válka skončí, IIHF bude situaci s vyloučenými týmy znovu posuzovat a je možné, že jejich suspendaci zruší.Rusku a Bělorusku byl po vyloučení z mezinárodní scény zmrazen bodový zisk do žebříčku IIHF, v němž tak dál figurují na druhém, respektive šestnáctém místě. Ukrajina je až na 27. pozici.Pokud tedy na Ukrajině bude v nejbližších měsících dosaženo míru, existuje možnost, že IIHF vrátí Rusko do MS už v roce 2026 právě na úkor Ukrajiny, kterou ruská vojska už déle než tři roky vojensky pustoší.

Fantasy Premier League: A guide to making transfers at the end of the season
With only three gameweeks of the season left in Fantasy Premier League, we have to be very careful with our transfers, making sure that we are maximising each one. At this point, they are more valuable than ever, as we have less time for them to pay off. Taking hits becomes even more difficult, too, as we also have a shorter period for gambles to be proven right.Now we have to play FPL a bit more meticulously and adjust our play to our season’s goals. So here’s how best to maximise your team and points for the final few weeks of the season.Should you take hits?The closer we get to the end of the season, the less likely it is that taking hits will pay off. However, that’s not to say we should discount this tactic completely, and at this point […]
Konečně. United oslavují odepsanou posilu za majlant, která je přiblížila trofeji
K tomu, aby se stal hrdinou pohárového večera, stačila Mountovi necelá půlhodinka. Na plac vyběhl z lavičky. Za stavu 0:1, kdy se snaživé Bilbao hnalo za druhou brankou, která by v rámci celého dvojutkání (první zápas skončil 3:0 pro United) situaci anglickému mančaftu hodně zkomplikovala.A co na to Mount? Přišel, viděl, rozhodl.V 72. minutě si ve vápně elegantně převzal balon za patou po dobré práci parťáka Lenyho Yora a obstřelem z otočky srovnal ranou přesně k tyči. Na závěrečné momenty si pak přichystal opravdovou lahůdku. Nepovedený odkop vyběhnuvšího gólmana Julena Agirrezabaly ztlumil kousek od půlící čáry a míč lehce podsekl. Slabší levačkou. Dalekonosný pokus zapadl do sítě. 4:1, hotovo.„Jakmile jsem viděl, kde se gólman nachází, měl jsem v hlavě jen jedno. Že si míč posunu a vystřelím. Sice jsem neměl v plánu zakončit levačkou, ale vyšlo to,“ culil se Mount.„Za Masona jsem neskutečně rád. Jde o ohromně kvalitního fotbalistu, který neustále maká […]
Wrexham squad audit: Who should stay and who should go ahead of Championship season?
Wrexham and their Hollywood owners are about to sail into relatively uncharted waters.Not just as a club, with their last match in the second tier having been a little under 43 years ago, but also in terms of personnel, with no less than nine of a 22-man squad registered for the second half of the 2024-25 campaign yet to kick a ball in the Championship.AdvertisementFactor in Arthur Okonkwo and Callum Burton — goalkeepers are exempt under EFL squad rules in Leagues One and Two, as well as under-21s players — having also not played at this level, plus another four of the 22 having less than 50 appearances apiece to their name, and that’s a sizeable chunk of the group who took Wrexham to an unprecedented third straight promotion.Even Phil Parkinson’s managerial experience in the Championship is limited to short […]
Tyler Bindon on Premier League ‘dream’, starting at LAFC, Vietnam War veteran grandfather
Tyler Bindon is completely unfazed.Unfazed by the potential pressure of having two professional athletes as parents. Unfazed by the family moving from New Zealand, the land of his birth, to California when he was 12. Unfazed by immediately establishing himself in the LAFC academy. Unfazed by moving to England aged 17. Unfazed by making his way in English professional football, where he’d never played before, at an age that most of us are just figuring out how to pay a gas bill. Unfazed by the prospect of going from being a trialist at a third-tier club to the Premier League and possibly the Champions League in under two years.AdvertisementUnfazed by… well, what else have you got?
