Skandál, soptil trenér Hoffenheimu po sporném verdiktu
„Skandální rozhodnutí,“ soptil trenér Hoffenheimu Christian Ilzer v rozhovoru pro Sky Sport.A proč vlastně ta bouře?Hoffenheim dotahoval manko 1:2. Povedlo se a už to vypadalo, že zachrání cenný bod, když udeřili Češi. Ve druhé minutě nastavení zatáhl po levé straně míč David Jurásek a připomněl svou formu, která ho katapultovala na evropskou scénu. Levačkou načechral přesný centr na zadní tyč, kam si naběhl Pavel Kadeřábek a hlavou neminul - 2:2.Jenže na závěrečné drama se teprve čekalo.V páté minutě nastavení šel do tvrdého souboje gólman Oliver Baumann a Carney Chukwuemeka. Brankář Hoffenheimu schytal kolenem zásah přímo do hlavy, svalil se na zem, ale sudí nechal hru pokračovat. Odražený míč si sebral Serhou Guirassy, pohotově ho posunul Waldemaru Antonovi, který už pohodlně zakončil do prázdné brány.Aus meiner Sicht ein Foul an Baumann. Der Stürmer trifft den Ball nicht, sondern mit dem Fuß nur die Hand von Baumann und […]

2025 NFL Draft: Cowboys finally draft a RB, select Texas’ Jaydon Blue in fifth round
Imagn Images FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys addressed their running back room in free agency with a couple of vets on one-year deals in Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders.With their first pick on Day 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft, Dallas selected a young back who will be around for a while in Texas Longhorns rusher Jaydon Blue. He's an adept receiver out of the backfield on a variety of routes, and his six receiving touchdowns in 2024 co-led the nation among running backs. Blue is undersized as far as NFL running backs go, standing at 5-foot-9 and weighing 196 pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine. He does possess the potential to take the ball to the house on any touch thanks to his electrifying speed (4.38-second 40-yard dash, second-fastest among running backs at the combine), provided he hangs […]
