PSG, atual campeão da Champions League – Foto: Justin Setterfield/Getty Images
Está chegando a hora! Falta pouco para que os torcedores confiram todas as emoções da Copa do Mundo de Clubes da Fifa. O novo torneio começa neste sábado (14) e, um dia depois, no domingo (15), já teremos brasileiros em campo. O Botafogo, por exemplo, fará sua estreia frente ao Seattle Sounders, dos Estados Unidos.
Aliás, o Glorioso, que é o atual campeão da Copa Libertadores, tem pela frente uma chave difícil. Além dos norte-americanos, os cariocas vão jogar contra Atlético de Madrid e Paris Saint-Germain, este sendo simplesmente o último campeão da Champions League. Por isso, muitos acreditam que o Botafogo sequer passará de fase.
Mano não acredita no Botafogo no Mundial
É a opinião também do jornalista Mauricio Borges, conhecido como Mano. No programa “Arena SBT”, transmitido pela rede de televisão paulista, ele declarou que o PSG não precisará nem jogar com o máximo de disposição para passar sem qualquer problema pelo time treinado pelo português Renato Paiva.
“O Botafogo? Toma oito. Tá de brincadeira. Na boa, o Paris Saint-Germain enfiou cinco na Inter de Milão. Se os caras engatarem a quarta marcha. Não precisa nem engatar a quinta, não volta nem o corpo do Botafogo para o Brasil”, disparou. Nas redes sociais, alguns torcedores concordaram, enquanto outros acharam um exagero de Mano.
Próximos jogos do Botafogo
15/06 – DOM – 23h – Botafogo x Seattle Sounders (EUA)
19/06 – QUI – 22h – PSG (FRA) x Botafogo
23/06 – SEG – 16h – Atlético de Madrid (ESP) x Botafogo
O Botafogo aproveitou a janela extra de transferências e fez contratações para a disputa da Copa do Mundo de Clubes da Fifa: chegaram o goleiro Christian Loor, o zagueiro Kaio Pantaleão, o meia Alvaro Montoro e os atacantes Joaquín Correa e Arthur Cabral. Todos estão registrados e aptos a atuarem na competição.

‘Still some time’ – Tiger provides update on golf return
Tiger Woods says it will still be "some time" until he returns to professional golf as he watched his Jupiter Links side earn their first TGL win in 2026 on Monday.Woods last competed in an official PGA Tour event in July 2024 when he missed the cut at The Open and missed the entire 2025 season after he ruptured his Achilles last March, then underwent disc replacement in October. The 50-year-old has only made 11 competitive starts since the car crash in 2021, struggling to contend at events during such a limited playing schedule. Asked when he could play for his Jupiter Links side in the TGL this season, he said: "Playing here? I don't know. I like watching these guys. As far as competitive golf, it's still some time."Woods played in three of Jupiter Links' four losses in the […]

Sources: Clippers, Cavaliers engaged in James Harden trade talks

Mariners finally make their big offseason move, bolster infield by acquiring Brendan Donovan from Cardinals
With a little help from a familiar facilitator, the Seattle Mariners finally executed the deal they’d been pursuing all winter on Monday, acquiring Brendan Donovan from the St. Louis Cardinals. The deal is a three-way swap including the Tampa Bay Rays, Seattle’s most frequent trade partner during president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto’s decade-long tenure leading the front office. After months of reports indicating Seattle’s interest in Donovan — and uncertainty about whether the Cardinals would actually part with him as part of their dramatic offseason of offloading — it’s fitting that the Rays’ surprise involvement helped push this deal across the finish line.Here’s the breakdown:AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementMariners receive: INF/OF Brendan Donovan (from Cardinals)Cardinals receive: RHP Jurrangelo Cijntje (from Mariners), OF Tai Peete (from Mariners), OF Colton Ledbetter (from Rays), Competitive Balance Round B Pick (currently No. 68, from Mariners), Competitive Balance […]
Stefon Diggs reflects on coming up short with Bills ahead of his first career Super Bowl with Patriots: ‘Wish things were different’
The Buffalo Bills traded to acquire ascending wide receiver Stefon Diggs from the Minnesota Vikings ahead of the 2020 season, hoping that he was the missing piece to unlock quarterback Josh Allen's potential and propel the franchise to its first Super Bowl championship.Diggs delivered on a lot of that promise. But the Bills ultimately came up short.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIn his first season in Buffalo, Diggs went from a no-time Pro Bowler to a first-team All-Pro selection while leading the league in receptions and receiving yards. It was the first of four straight Pro Bowl selections and two All-Pro teams in three years for Diggs.And he indeed, helped Allen unlock his NFL potential. Allen went from completing a dismal 58.8% of his passes in his second NFL season to 69.2% in his first season playing with Diggs, a remarkable jump in accuracy that […]
Super Bowl 2026: Drake Maye says his shoulder is doing well: ‘I’ll be just fine’
SAN JOSE, Calif. — If it were late September or mid-November, or practically any other week, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye’s shoulder might not be such a big deal.But this is Super Bowl week, and any small bit of news becomes a big deal. Especially when it’s an injury issue surrounding an NFL MVP finalist at quarterback.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementMaye hurt his shoulder in the third quarter of the AFC championship game, when he scrambled and was tackled by Denver Broncos safety Talanoa Hufanga.
