Frajeři na saních budou v Ostravě prohánět mistry světa. Chceme s nimi držet krok, řekl trenér

Základní část zakončí v sobotu proti Italům (od 15 hodin).„Američani a Kanada jsou nejlepší týmy světa, Číňané i Italové patří do špičky taky. Moc se na ostravský turnaj těšíme.

England show new-found bottle – but biggest World Cup test to come

Whether your take on England's narrow win at the World Cup on Sunday was that they earned it or India threw it away, it definitely marked progress for Nat Sciver-Brunt's side.Keeping their cool in crunch moments has long been the team's nemesis: in successive T20 World Cups and, most obviously, that 16-0 Ashes drubbing just under a year ago. Yes, Australia are a brilliant team, one perhaps currently marching towards an eighth 50-over World Cup title, but England did not half shoot themselves in the foot last winter, freezing when it mattered most, losing games they could, perhaps should, have won. Image: Charlie Dean (left) and Nat Sciver-Brunt (right) after England's nervy win over India In Indore at the weekend, though, that changed.When the pressure was on, England held their nerve and India lost theirs as the World Cup co-hosts […]

What’s wrong with the Commanders? Why Washington is struggling and why turnaround might not be coming

Dan Quinn didn't have to say much after the Commanders' 44-22 loss to the Cowboys to send a message.Is he surprised by where his 3-4 Commanders stand so far this season?"Yes. Very."And what of that sequence before halftime, in which the Cowboys followed a Commanders touchdown by going 72 yards in just four plays and 35 seconds to score a touchdown of their own?"Words cannot explain. I was hot."Perhaps that sequence best encapsulates the Commanders right now. One step forward comes with two steps back. The players, Quinn admitted, are mad, too. But they were also mad after a 25-24 "Monday Night Football" loss to the Bears in which the offense committed three turnovers and the defense got shredded on the ground.Anger, it turns out, only goes so far. The Commanders are struggling on both sides of the ball with […]
