Triantis has missed just one league game since returning to Hibs on season-long loan from Sunderland.

The 21-year-old, who received his first call-up to the full Australia squad in March, has made 29 appearances as the Easter Road side strengthened their grip on third in the league after a dismal start to the season.

Bohemians vyhrávají i pro Ďolíček. Pro nás cenné peníze, říká kouč Veselý a chystá návrat Hybše

Až na čtvrtý pokus odjel trenér Jaroslav Veselý s Bohemians 1905 z Liberce poražený, přesto však spokojený. Klokani padli pod Ještědem v semifinále play off skupiny o umístění 0:1, jenže díky výhře v domácím duelu 4:1 jdou dál.„Prohrál jsem tady poprvé, co jsem v Bohemce, ale jelikož se hrálo na dvojzápas, poprvé mě porážka nevadí,“ přiznal Veselý, jenž postup věnoval svému před lety tragicky zemřelému kamarádovi Alexovi, který by v neděli oslavil narozeniny.Bohemians si postupem do finále stejně jako Hradec Králové zajistili finanční bonus ve výši dvou milionů korun. A vítěz finále dostane ještě dodatečný třetí, který by týmu z Ďolíčku bodnul při zvelebování jejich stadionu.„Pro nás je lichotivé, že si můžeme zahrát o sedmé místo.

Pro jiné kluby je ta částka možná zanedbatelná, ale pro nás jako pro klub s nižším rozpočtem jsou dva miliony korun, a ještě jeden je ve hře, cenné […]

UEFA urged to increase payments to non-elite clubs to ‘address competitive balance’ issues

Football lobby group the Union of European Clubs (UEC) wants UEFA to set aside five per cent of its £3.7billion ($4.9bn) annual revenue from club competitions to reward all the teams that help to develop the stars of the show.The Player Development Reward (PDR), the UEC’s first significant proposal, would be shared between European clubs based on the minutes played in UEFA competitions and prize money earned by players they have trained earlier in their careers.AdvertisementThe 36 teams that qualify for the league phase of the Champions League would not be eligible for the payments, as they already receive huge sums in prize money.If the idea had been in operation last season, nearly 1,500 clubs across the continent would have received PDR payments, with over 400 clubs getting more than €100,000 (£84,500, $112,400) each. Dutch side Ajax would have topped […]

Fantasy Baseball Week 8 Waiver-Wire Targets: Now’s the time to add Jake Burger, Jordan Lawlar

Late Sunday night – after this column was initially published, and indeed after most Fantasy Baseball waiver wire processes had already run – we learned that one of the top prospects in baseball was getting promoted. Per multiple reports, the Diamondbacks are calling up infielder Jordan Lawlar Monday, a top-20 prospect in baseball and one of the more exciting offensive talents around. But his immediate Fantasy outlook is less clear than you might think for a player of his pedigree. Here's the problem: We have no idea where he's going to play. Manager Torey Lovulla told reporters he wants to find four starts a week for Lawlar at various positions – Lawlar has played shortstop, second base, and third base in Triple-A this season, but the Diamondbacks are obviously in good shape at all three spots – and for a player […]

Desgoverno da CBF gera constrangimentos para a seleção brasileira no Caso Ancelotti

É no mínimo curiosa a situação em que se colocou, ou foi colocada, a seleção brasileira. O mundo acompanhava o Barcelona 4 x 3 Real Madrid de ontem por uma série de aspectos atraentes: o título em jogo no choque entre os rivais, o descomunal talento de Lamine Yamal, o futebol encantador e arriscado do Barcelona, Mbappé tentando dar vida a um Real que por vezes parece disfuncional... No Brasil, a interminável novela em torno do próximo técnico da seleção criou uma sensação provavelmente inédita: quanto pior jogasse o time cujo treinador a CBF quer contratar, melhor. Quanto mais constrangedor fosse o domínio do Barcelona — e em dado momento do primeiro tempo tal imposição, de fato, constrangeu o Real e Ancelotti —, menor a chance de a liga espanhola seguir em disputa, e mais acessível para a seleção brasileira […]
