Brazil's sports minister Andre Fufuca has called for the country's football confederation (CBF) to temporarily suspend all football activities following the unprecedented natural disaster in Rio Grande do Sul.At least 85 people died, 372 were injured, 131 are still missing and more than 159,000 have been displaced from their homes following the heavy rains that led to widespread flooding in the southern state last week, according to local government figures.The CBF suspended the games in which Rio Grande do Sul teams were involved, with Grêmio, Internacional and Juventude the top-tier teams affected.Fufuca believes that is not enough and that all national football competitions, including men's and women's football, should be temporarily halted."Given the calamitous public scenario and the severe consequences from the floods for the population of Rio Grande do Sul, we will appeal to the CBF for the temporary suspension of the Brazilian Men's and Women's Football Championships," Fufufa told ESPN Brasil."It should be stopped. It is a humanitarian and sporting loss. Stopping for two weeks would be reasonable. We will send a letter this Friday to the CBF, making ourselves available to dialogue and find a joint path." ,El ministro de deportes de Brasil pide la suspensión de todas las actividades futbolísticas tras desastre natural en Río Grande do Sul.

Arteta insta a Jesús y Martinelli a hablar en la cancha

Write informative laconic excerpt under 30 words in mexican spanish for news below. Do not wrap it into quotation marks or html tags. Mikel Arteta has urged Arsenal forwards Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli to do their talking on the pitch amid limited starting opportunities as Arsenal continue their pursuit of the Premier League title.Both Jesus and Martinelli have found themselves out of Arteta's starting line-up in recent weeks with Leandro Trossard, Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka emerging as his preferred frontline.- Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, more (U.S.)Asked by ESPN Brasil if the pair were frustrated by the existing pecking order, Arteta said: "I think there are two parts. One, they're happy because of where we are as a team and what we're fighting for. And another, because now they want to play, everyone wants to play."Everyone who doesn't play everything wants to play more. But that's my decision and what I feel at each time."Both of them have been super important this season, and will also be these two remaining games and this is what this is about, when you have the moment you have to talk on the field and you have to say it on the field."Jesus' future at the club has been in question as the Brazil international has struggled with knee problems since undergoing surgery for an injury sustained at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. He underwent a second minor operation in January and admitted last month he couldn't "remember the last day I played football without pain."In his news conference last Friday, Arteta said the club has no intention of allowing Jesus to leave, and he told ESPN Brasil that injury was the primary reason he hasn't featured more this season."The thing is that he has played a lot here. With me, he played a lot," Arteta said. "And with me he has been very, very important. And it's true that when he hasn't played it was first because something has happened before and almost always that thing that has happened before has been an injury that has lost his momentum, and then the team has jumped and that must also be respected."But this is about showing out again and regaining his place, and that's what's important."Sources told ESPN after Arsenal's Champions League exit at the hands of Bayern Munich that the north London side had expedited its search for a new striker which would only serve to increase the level of competition for both Jesus and Martinelli.Jesus has scored four Premier League goals this term to go with five assists in 25 appearances, while Martinelli has managed six goals and four assists in 33 league games.Arteta also spoke to ESPN Brasil about the need to be ruthless as a manager at the elite level of professional football."There is the professional part, where in the end you have to play as far as a player achieves a level, or we think he will continue to achieve a certain level or what the team needs," he said."And there you have to be pragmatic, that's not personal, that's the player side, and there you have to be pragmatic and in my work I have to make those decisions."Arsenal travel to Manchester United in their penultimate Premier League fixture of the season on Sunday. They are top of the league as it stands, though Manchester City are just a point behind and have a game in hand -- to be played against Arteta's team's fierce rivals Tottenham Hotspur next week."It's always a very difficult place to go," Arteta said of the United clash. "One of the most beautiful places in this country for playing football. And we already know, if we want to win this Premier League, we have to go there and we have to win."Arsenal have won just once at Old Trafford since 2006 but take on Erik ten Hag's team as they face an injury crisis off the back of a humbling 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace on Monday.Information from ESPN's James Olley contributed to this report. ,Mikel Arteta insta a Gabriel Jesus y Gabriel Martinelli a destacar en el campo mientras Arsenal persigue el título de la Premier League, con oportunidades de inicio limitadas.

Bayer Leverkusen and Juventus are leading the race to sign Manchester City defender Yan Couto this summer, a source has told ESPN.Couto has impressed on loan at Girona this season with his form earning a first call-up to the Brazil national team.- Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, more (U.S.)The 21-year-old is highly rated at City, but there is an acceptance that regular first-team football elsewhere would be more beneficial than staying on the fringes of Pep Guardiola's squad at the Etihad Stadium.Bundesliga champions Leverkusen have already registered their interest as they monitor potential replacements for Jeremie Frimpong, who is a target for Manchester United.City have also fielded enquiries from Serie A side Juventus and a number of Premier League clubs.Couto has played a key role in helping Girona qualify for the Champions League, playing 32 games in LaLiga.

Final de la FA Cup Femenil: Manchester United vs Tottenham

Write informative laconic excerpt under 30 words in mexican spanish for news below. Do not wrap it into quotation marks or html tags. Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur will face off in the Women's FA Cup final at Wembley on Sunday (stream live on ESPN+ from 9:30 a.m. ET, U.S. only). And it is the first time a team since 2005, when Charlton beat Everton 1-0, that it won't be one of Arsenal, Chelsea or Manchester City who lift the trophy.The stakes are high ahead of the highly anticipated fixture with history, rivalry and bragging rights on the line. ESPN correspondents Sophie Lawson and Emily Keogh answer the big questions and share their predictions, which players to watch and more. - Stream on ESPN+: NWSL, LaLiga, Bundesliga, more (U.S.)What state are Man United in going into the match?Man United's form this season has been a far cry from 12 months ago, when they were heading into their first-ever FA Cup final en route to finishing second in the Women's Super League, just two points adrift of champions Chelsea.This season, however, the Red Devils have found themselves labouring through games, not quite finding their rhythm. They have slipped down to fifth in the standings. Last week's loss to rivals Liverpool will have left the team bruised, as they were leapfrogged by the Reds, and it was also the first time Man United have failed to score this season, which raises questions over their harmony in attack.United have yet to overcome the summer departures of Alessia Russo (to Arsenal) and Ona Batlle (to Barcelona), and although they have added valuable depth to their attack, the pieces have often refused to fall into place for manager Marc Skinner.A title charge quickly fizzled away, leaving just FA Cup glory to save United's season. But, having suffered a 1-0 defeat to Chelsea at Wembley last year, United will feel they have experience on their side against underdogs Spurs. -- LawsonWhat state are Tottenham in going into the match?Tottenham have a lot of confidence and, knowing that they are the underdogs, the pressure is lifted. Having never reached the final before, the side has nothing to lose, which makes it a dangerous opponent. While it has not been the most consistent WSL season, there are plenty of positives.Having battled relegation last season, Spurs have cemented a comfortable sixth-placed finish with a game to go and have proven they can compete with the best in the WSL. It has also been a season of growth. When Spurs faced Man United in November, they fell to a 4-0 drubbing. But only a few weeks ago, right after it was confirmed that these two sides would be heading to Wembley, Spurs held United to a 2-2 draw and even led throughout much of that fixture.However, they will be without key midfielder Grace Clinton. The 20-year-old is on loan from Manchester United and therefore can't face her parent club in the final. While she has been an important part of Tottenham's attack and has proven vital in orchestrating tempo, Tottenham's recent outing against United was a valuable one as it taught them how to play effectively without Clinton. -- KeoghHow come neither of these big clubs have won this trophy before?It wasn't so long ago that Spurs were making their way up the women's football pyramid, earning promotions from the regional tiers, through the Championship and up to the WSL for the first time ahead of the 2019-20 season. And, at a time when Spurs were grafting as a part-time team, the Man United women's side lay dormant, having been abandoned in 2005 and only being brought back in 2018.Both teams were promoted from the second tier in the 2019-20 season and have been finding their respective footing in the WSL ever since.Man United, already operating as a professional team during their single season in the Championship, hit the ground running under then-manager Casey Stoney and immediately started chasing down the top three in England.Conversely, Spurs' life in the WSL has been littered with pitfalls and upheaval. Indeed, it wasn't until this season, with the arrival of Swedish boss Robert Vilahamn as manager, that they looked like they could seriously challenge the big clubs.As Skinner knows -- not just from last season's FA Cup final loss, but his previous outing at Wembley with Birmingham City in 2017 (a 4-1 loss to Manchester City) -- it's one thing to get to the big stage but quite another to wrest silverware away from the dominant three. But Man United and Spurs will have no better chance to make history. -- LawsonHow big an upset would it be if Tottenham were to win?Man United reached the final last season and have the edge on experience, but Tottenham have shown their progression and would be worthy winners. Having a new name on the trophy either way is a great thing for women's football, but Tottenham winning would be a bigger statement given that they gained promotion to the WSL in 2019 and the team's history only dates back to 1985.For both the men's and women's sides, Tottenham's drought (the men won the League Cup in 2008) is something that has plagued the side. Vilahamn knows exactly how important a win would be and will look to use his experiences of cup finals in Sweden to try to bring a trophy home.It would feel like an upset given Man United's dalliance with the top three last season and the fact that they reached last year's final. However, I don't think anyone would be surprised to see Tottenham give Man United a run for their money and pull off the win. They came incredibly close in their last meeting, only conceding in stoppage time, and with penalty-saving hero Becky Spencer in goal and heading to her 10th FA Cup final, an upset might be on the cards.-- KeoghMan United player to watch: Ella Toone A big player for the big occasion, Toone -- who has already scored at Wembley in her career -- could be the key for Man United as they look to claim a first FA Cup title.Although the England international hasn't always hit the top of her game this season, after a grueling couple of years with little rest, the mercurial midfielder has already popped up with a few game-changing moments (and goals). If it's a nervy contest that needs a moment of magic, Toone could be the one with the wizardry at Wembley.Another player who hasn't always showcased her best form this season, Leah Galton could also be a game-changer. If she's allowed to play in her natural position on the wing, where she can run at Spurs' right-back rather than being shunted over to full-back, she could make a real impact.Tottenham player to watch: Beth EnglandTottenham have several players who have stepped up in recent months. Martha Thomas is facing her former team, whom she represented in the FA Cup final last season. Drew Spence has played in tons of high-stakes games; so has her compatriot Spencer, who has won the FA Cup six times (five as an unused substitute). But no one is more experienced, more of a leader and more crucial to Tottenham than Beth England.The former Chelsea striker was at the forefront of one of the most formidable attacks in Europe and has played in FA Cup and Champions League finals. On the international stage, she has proven to be a key player, stepping up to take a penalty for England against Nigeria in the 2023 World Cup round of 16. Having played and scored at Wembley, the occasion will not faze her. She is also a stalwart leader who has the ability to elevate those around her.Getting Beth England on the ball in the box will be key but, with some of Spurs' other attacking players likely having to drop deep to help the defence, she may have to go it alone. -- KeoghWhat is your prediction?Manchester United 2-1 Tottenham: Before their 2-2 draw in the WSL at the end of April, it would have been easy to say it will be a Man United win. Yet that draw was telling and highlighted the progress Spurs have made under Vilahamn, as well as the regression United have suffered.Wembley is a unique stage, and although there are players in Spurs' squad who've experienced it before, it will be new for a large part of the team, as well as the manager. The pressure and the expectation will be on United, which plays into Spurs' hands, but Vilahamn may have shown too much of his hand last month, and if you throw in that little bit of experience that came from losing last year, I think we'll see the Red Devils lifting the trophy. -- LawsonTottenham 3-2 Manchester United: If Spurs had lost their most recent game against United, or had even been level for most of the afternoon, it would have been far easier to say United will likely lift the trophy. But all the signs are pointing towards Tottenham after that performance.Yes, Man United will be hurting from their dismal league campaign, and yes, they have the upper hand, but Spurs are together and determined. The club are desperate for a trophy and, though it probably won't be pretty or easy, I think Tottenham take it 3-2, likely with extra time. It might even need another late intervention from Thomas to get it done. -- Keogh ,Final de la FA Cup Femenina: Manchester United y Tottenham se enfrentan en Wembley. United busca redimir su temporada mientras Spurs buscan su primer título histórico.
