France's sports minister has called for football club Monaco to be sanctioned after one of their players covered over an LGBTQ support message on the team's shirt during the team's final league game on Sunday.The French league staged its annual campaign against discrimination during this weekend's final round with each team wearing a badge featuring the word "homophobia" crossed out.- Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, more (U.S.)However, Monaco midfielder Mohamed Camara taped over the badge during his team's 4-0 win over Nantes, and also skipped the pre-match group photo where all players stood before a banner with the same message.French Sports Minister Amélie Oudéa-Castéra called Camara's actions "unacceptable" and called for "firm sanctions" against both the player and the club.Aurore Bergé, the French minister of equality, also condemned Camara on social media."Homophobia is not an opinion, it's a crime," she wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "And homophobia kills. There must be strict punishment for Mohamed Camara."Monaco coach Adi Hütter said after the game that the club supports the league's initiative and that Camara's actions were "a personal choice."The club said they would discuss the situation with Camara internally.This is the fourth consecutive season that professional clubs in France have been invited to use rainbow-colored numbers, armbands or patches on their shirts to support the LGBTQ movement. Each year, similar controversies arise.In 2022, Senegalese-born Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye, then playing for Paris Saint-Germain, refused to participate in a game requiring players to wear shirts with rainbow-colored numbers.Senegal's President Macky Sall publicly supported Gueye, stating "his religious convictions must be respected."Last year, Nantes fined Egyptian striker Mostafa Mohamed for similar reasons. Mohamed again did not play in Sunday's game. Camara also did not play in the equivalent game last season. ,El ministro de deportes de Francia pide sanciones para el Mónaco tras tapar un mensaje de apoyo LGBTQ en la camiseta durante un partido de liga.

Clasificación de poder de la NWSL: ¡Portland Thorns en la cima!

Write informative laconic excerpt under 30 words in mexican spanish for news below. Do not wrap it into quotation marks or html tags. It's Monday, and another week of NWSL action is in the books, which means it's time for ESPN's Power Rankings.Our rankings are derived from a combination of key season statistics (points per game, goal differential, expected goal differential), recent performance, the Opta computer ratings and the observations of our writers.Who's climbing the table? Who's in free fall? Our writers and statistical models have ranked all 14 clubs in the league after matchday 10. Let's dive in.- Stream on ESPN+: NWSL, FA Cup & more (U.S.) 1. Portland ThornsPrevious ranking: 2Next match: Friday at Orlando Pride, 7 p.m. ETRemember the Thorns rocky start to the season? Neither do they. They beat Houston for their sixth straight win and are averaging nearly three goals per game in that stretch. They are a machine right now. Thoughts and prayers to the poor souls in their way. 3. Orlando PridePrevious ranking: 3Next match: Friday vs. Orlando Pride, 7 p.m. ETThe Pride have obviously been sensational this season, sitting top of the table and undefeated, but maybe the most impressive is how good they've been away from Orlando. They picked up another away win over the weekend, beating the Reign, and they've now put up 10 points in four away matches on the year. 6. NJ/NY Gotham FCPrevious ranking: 6Next match: Saturday at Bay FC, 10 p.m. ET Gotham beat Chicago for some much-needed points, but the real story of the weekend was Lynn Williams becoming NWSL's all-time leading goal scorer. She's a four-time NWSL champion, three-time Shield winner and has both an MVP and Golden Boot to her name, so she's hardly short of plaudits or trophies, but an all-time scoring record hits a little different. It's about not just excellence, but also longevity and consistency. Put it all together and you get Lynn Williams, a goal scorer who stands above all others in NWSL history. 7. Racing Louisville FCPrevious ranking: 9Next match: Saturday at Chicago Red Stars, 7:30 p.m. ET Who would have guessed that Racing would be the first team to take points off the Current in KC? They left it very late, but Savannah DeMelo's 103rd minute goal let them sneak an impressive point back to Louisville. 8. San Diego Wave FCPrevious ranking: 7Next match: Thursday at Angel City, 10 p.m. ET Casey Stoney pulled no punches after the Wave lost to Bay, 2-1. She said the attack isn't doing enough to finish chances and the defense keeps making basic mistakes. Besides that, things are going great. Stoney did take responsibility for San Diego's problems, so let's see what she can do to iron things out because we know this team can be great. 9. Chicago Red StarsPrevious ranking: 8Next match: Saturday vs. Racing Louisville, 7:30 p.m. ETElla Stevens was a restricted free agent this winter, so when she agreed to a contract with Gotham, the Red Stars could have matched it and kept her in the fold. Instead, they allowed her to leave, which must have made it sting Chicago that much more when she scored a stoppage time winner to beat them. Watching Stevens celebrate by repeatedly kissing the badge couldn't have helped either. 10. Seattle Reign FCPrevious ranking: 10Next match: Friday at Washington Spirit, 7:30 p.m. ETIt's no secret that the Reign have had some problems, but their defense had been mostly okay. That is until Sunday, when they did things like "forget to mark Barbra Banda." Unsurprisingly, that led to a loss against Orlando. 11. Bay FCPrevious ranking: 13Next match: Friday vs. NY/NJ Gotham FC, 10 p.m. ETKiki Pickett came off the bench and completely changed Bay FC. She was an immediate boost and made two terrific plays to set up both the equalizer and winner to beat San Diego, 2-1. Between her and Savvy King, Bay have a pair of tantalizing fullbacks. 12. Angel City FCPrevious ranking: 11Next match: Thursday vs. San Diego Wave, 10 p.m. ETACFC found themselves in a wild one with the Spirit, but an early injury to Sarah Gorden doomed them to a 4-2 loss. It's no secret that Gorden is fabulous, but it was still shocking to see how rough the Angel City defense looked without her. Fingers crossed her injury isn't too serious. 14. Utah RoyalsPrevious ranking: 14Next match: Saturday vs. Kansas City Current, 10 p.m. ET Utah were beaten much worse than the 1-0 scoreline in North Carolina indicated. They had little of the ball, were not tidy when they got it and, unsurprisingly, generated next to nothing in front of goal. If it wasn't for some good luck, they'd have lost by three or four. It's not a shock that the Royals are not very good, but the lack of progress is concerning. ,¡Es lunes y la semana de acción de la NWSL está cerrada!

Postecoglou busca al menos tres fichajes para Tottenham

Write informative laconic excerpt under 30 words in mexican spanish for news below. Do not wrap it into quotation marks or html tags. Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has asked the club for at least three new signings in the summer transfer window, sources have told ESPN.The 58-year-old wants to continue his overhaul of the squad after Spurs finished fifth in his first season in charge, missing out on Champions League qualification by two points.- Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, more (U.S.)Sources say Postecoglou is realistic about the scale of change he can achieve in one window but Tottenham have a degree of headroom within the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules, and the Australian coach is targeting a new striker and a central midfielder among the potential new additions.It is unclear at this stage who Spurs' preferred targets are but sources have told ESPN that the north London club are considering a move for Brentford striker Ivan Toney and have been tracking Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher for several months.Toney is expected to leave Brentford this summer, while Gallagher has a year remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge and is reportedly also attracting interest from Aston Villa.Postecoglou's plans would be bolstered by any player sales with Spurs thought to be willing to listen to offers for a number of squad members including Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Giovani Lo Celso and Bryan Gil.Several players returning from loan spells including Djed Spence, Sergio Reguilón and Joe Rodon are also deemed surplus to requirements, while there is uncertainty over the futures of Ryan Sessegnon and Emerson Royal.Sources say opinion is split within the club over whether to allow Richarlison to leave should a big-money offer arrive from Saudi Arabia as has been mooted in recent months.Postecoglou and his team flew to Australia just hours after their final league game of the season to play a post-season friendly against Newcastle in the manager's home city of Melbourne. ,El jefe del Tottenham, Ange Postecoglou, busca al menos tres fichajes para la ventana de traspasos de verano, incluyendo delantero y mediocampista.

Cómo las decisiones del VAR han afectado a cada club de la Premier League 2023-24

Write informative laconic excerpt under 30 words in mexican spanish for news below. Do not wrap it into quotation marks or html tags. Video Assistant Referee causes controversy every week in the Premier League, but how are decisions made, and are they correct?After each weekend we take a look at the major incidents, to examine and explain the process both in terms of VAR protocol and the Laws of the Game. - How VAR decisions have affected every Prem club in 2023-24 - VAR in the Premier League: Ultimate guideIn this week's VAR Review: Was referee Michael Oliver correct to reject the VAR's advice and award Arsenal's winner against Everton? Plus, why Wolverhampton Wanderers' Nélson Semedo saw red against Liverpool.What happened: Arsenal thought they had won the game in the 89th minute. Gabriel Jesus collected the ball halfway inside the Everton half, and fed a pass to Martin Ødegaard. The Norway international scuffed a shot and the ball ran to Kai Havertz, who scored from close range. However, the VAR, Stuart Attwell, directed referee Michael Oliver to the screen to disallow the goal for handball in the buildup by Jesus.VAR decision: Goal stands, overturn rejected at the monitor.VAR review: It was only the second time this season a referee has stuck by their original decision and, like the first occasion, the Premier League's Independent Key Match Incidents Panel may rule it was incorrect to do so.The first example came in September, when referee Darren England rejected the advice of VAR Robert Jones that a stoppage-time penalty awarded to Aston Villa against Crystal Palace should be overturned. The panel voted 4-1 that the VAR's intervention was correct. Accidental attacking handball only applies to the goal scorer, so it has to be a deliberate act for Havertz's goal to be ruled out. It's all about how Jesus moves his body to control the ball: if you think the touch on the arm was accidental it's a fair goal; if you believe the striker has turned his arm into it to move it forward into his path then it's deliberate. Oliver thought it was the former; Attwell the latter. It will split opinion and it comes down to how you view Jesus' movement. We should be seeing referees stick with their own decision more often, though the KMI Panel's judgements suggest there have only been five other occasions this season. This didn't stick out as an obvious situation where the referee should ignore the VAR. So what about consistency? Last weekend, AFC Bournemouth had a Dominic Solanke goal ruled out against Brentford for handball in the buildup by Antoine Semenyo, with the ball touching his arm in midfield before he created the goal. The KMI Panel ruled that to be the fifth incorrect VAR overturn this season, voting 4-1 that the goal should have stood. You can argue that allowing the Arsenal goal to stand is consistent with the KMI Panel's assessment of the Bournemouth goal, yet Semenyo didn't lean into the path of the ball and there was a far greater case for it being accidental. In doing do, Oliver became the first referee in the Premier League to reject a VAR's advice for a second time. The previous case came last season in Nottingham Forest vs. Bournemouth, when Oliver stuck with a penalty he'd awarded for handball. There was also a claim for a possible handball before a goal for West Ham United's goal at Manchester City. The ball touched the arm of Tomás Soucek before Mohammed Kudus scored, but it was by his side and accidental. Liverpool 2-0 WolvesPossible red card: Semedo challenge on Mac Allister What happened: Nélson Semedo was shown a yellow card by referee Chris Kavanagh in the 28th minute for a challenge on Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister. However, there was a check for a red card from the VAR, David Coote.VAR decision: Yellow card upgraded to red. VAR review: It was perhaps predictable that Wolves would have another decision go against them after they trigged a vote for VAR to be scrapped at the Premier League AGM on June 6. This decision means their VAR score across the last five seasons is -18 (33 VAR overturns have gone against them, with 15 in their favour). The magnitude is shown by next worst-affected clubs being Arsenal and West Ham United on -6. It's been a discussion point throughout the season that the Premier League is a little too lenient when it comes to serious foul play challenges, and there's no doubt Wolves will argue it's no different to several others which haven't led to a VAR red card and not "clear and obvious." Think Chelsea's Moisés Caicedo on Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch in the Carabao Cup final, or Malo Gusto's tackle on Fulham midfielder Willian, or the mistimed challenge by Manchester United defender Harry Maguire on Sasa Lukic.In each of those three cases, the defender was deemed to be stepping into a challenge, and arrived just after the ball had gone. The nature of the tackle, even though contact on the opponent it was above the boot, couldn't be considered to have excessive force. Semedo's tackle had a few key factors which make it different. He goes over the top of the ball and makes contact with Mac Allister's shin, notably above ankle height. The challenge is made with an angled boot with studs leading, a marked difference to how a player would make the tackle when stepping in to try to win the ball. He is starting to run into the challenge, which creates a degree of force, and goes in with a jumping motion which creates a lunge-effect and catches Mac Allister high above the shin. It's a certain VAR red card. Mac Allister may have both feet off the ground at one stage too, yet he doesn't go over the top of the ball into the opponent's shin with his studs. Brentford 2-4 NewcastlePossible penalty overturn: Mbeumo challenge on Hall What happened: Referee Simon Hooper awarded Newcastle United a penalty in the 76th minute when Bryan Mbeumo clipped the foot of Lewis Hall as he ran into the area. But where did the foul take place? It was looked at by the VAR, Paul Tierney.VAR decision: Penalty cancelled, foul outside the area. VAR review: We've talked in recent weeks about how a penalty from an inadvertent clip of an attacker, or one which wouldn't be visible without the footage being slowed down, has to be given on the field and won't be awarded through a review.For this, we always refer to the red card and penalty for Arsenal's David Luiz against Wolves in 2021. It was identical to this incident, in terms of the kind of offence, and was also given on the field. The more obvious recent example came in the North London derby, with Dejan Kulusevski's back foot brushing the leg of Leandro Trossard and causing him to go down in the area. That wasn't given by the referee and the KMI Panel unanimously voted that it shouldn't be a spot kick.Yet here we are with Newcastle awarded a penalty for just that. Mbeumo was running behind Hall, whose trailing foot touched the Brentford player and he tripped over into the area. It's a major problem with VAR which will always serve up a feeling of inconsistency: a penalty can be given on the field in one game, but it won't in another even though there are similarities. On this occasion the spot kick didn't stand, because the foul contact was outside the area. It's another odd one, because almost the whole of Hall's body is inside the penalty box -- apart from that trailing leg. And it's the point of contact of the foul that decides where an offence has taken place, not where the rest of an attacker's body may be. Hall's back leg was the other side of the line, so a free kick was the correct outcome. More controversially, last week Newcastle United's Anthony Gordon wanted a spot kick against Manchester United when his heel appeared to be stood on by Sofyan Amrabat. When asked about the incident after the game, Gordon said: "I don't understand the point of VAR."The freeze frame of the incident makes it seem a certain penalty, in fact some would say that makes it appear a possible red card. But how an incident looks at normal speed plays a significant part. If the contact can't be detected without a forensic analysis, can it be a referee error not to give a penalty? The KMI Panel again unanimously voted the VAR was right to stay out of it. It's the kind of situation which supporters struggle to understand but, as far as the Premier League is concerned, it's the intended application of VAR.Man City 3-1 West HamPossible handball: Soucek when scoring What happened: West Ham thought they had found a route back into the game in the 88th minute when Tomás Soucek helped the ball in after a corner routine. The goal was checked for a possible handball by the VAR, Jarred Gillett. VAR decision: Goal disallowed. VAR review: One of the clearer handball goals we're likely to see. Soucek puts out an arm to divert the ball into the goal -- it's what fans thought VAR would be for, rather than those toenail offside situations. It's the kind of handball that a player should be booked for, but such factual decisions are made by the VAR and a yellow card can only result from a review if a referee has visited the monitor. Sheffield United 0-3 TottenhamPossible red card overturn: Violent conduct by Brooks on Son What happened: Referee Andy Madley showed the red card to Sheffield United's Andre Brooks in the 78th minute for an off-the-ball incident leading up to a corner. The VAR, Tim Robinson, checked to see if it was the correct decision. VAR decision: Red card rescinded. VAR review: Another example of a huge injustice being corrected. Madley felt that Brooks had kicked Son Heung-Min but the referee has misread the situation. Brooks just stood on the toe of the Tottenham Hotspur player, and there wasn't any violent conduct.Indeed, such was the nature of the VAR overturn the red wasn't even downgraded to a yellow and the disciplinary action was completely cancelled.

Besiktas are in talks to sign coach José Mourinho and Argentina international Ángel Di María according to the Turkish club's vice-president Huseyin Yucel.Mourinho, 61, has been without a job since being fired by Roma in January.- Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, more (U.S.)Besiktas parted company with former Portugal coach Fernando Santos in April following the team's poor run of form and named former youth coach Halim Okta as interim manager for the remainder of the season."About a month ago I met José Mourinho in Istanbul and he listened to our offer," Yucel told TGRT Haber TV "He said he would think about it and give us an answer.

La Resurrección de Dominic Solanke

Write informative laconic excerpt under 30 words in mexican spanish for news below. Do not wrap it into quotation marks or html tags. Last season, Solanke failed to live up to his potential. After scoring 29 goals in 2021-22 and helping Bournemouth gain promotion from the Championship, his 2022-23 top flight campaign was underwhelming as he only scored six goals. It was a poor run of form from the former Chelsea academy player, whose low numbers last campaign included a league-goal drought of nearly 20 hours.And then, Andoni Iraola came to his rescue.Thanks to the Basque manager (nominated by the Premier League for Manager of the Season) and his aggressive, high-octane style, Bournemouth are on the cusp of a top-half finish, and Solanke truly delivered by becoming a menacing No. 9. His 19 goals turned him into the highest scoring Premier League scorer in the history of Bournemouth, passing Joshua King's 16 goals in 2016-2017. With the Cherries' newfound energetic philosophy, Solanke is a far more dangerous striker. He doesn't just want to score goals, he hunts for them like a lion to prey.Were it not for the avalanche of English center-forward talent, which includes starter Harry Kane and Watkins, I think Solanke's presence in England's squad for this summer's Euros would hardly be in doubt. But ultimately, it's up to manager Gareth Southgate and his preference on how many strikers he'll want to take.One thing is for sure: Solanke is not a finished product, and there surely will be more to come from the English forward. That's bittersweet news for Bournemouth, who know that bigger clubs with larger budgets will be circling around this summer. But if they can hold on to him, Iraola's Bournemouth could climb higher in the table, with Solanke as the protagonist.Which team earned an A? ArsenalLet's make one thing clear. In the Premier League's title race, if your club has pushed Manchester City to the final day of the season, then it has done a spectacular job. Mikel Arteta's Arsenal delivered a magnificent run, having achieved more wins (27) than the famous Invincibles campaign.With one game to spare, they earned the most victories in their Premier League history. The two times they have done better were back in 1970-71 (29) and 1930-31 (28). Offensively, they are currently on 89 goals, which is better than last season's total (88), while defensively, they almost halved the goals they conceded (28) compared to 2022-23 (43) mainly thanks to the formidable defensive duo of William Saliba and Gabriel.It seems that City will indeed take the crown once again, but I think it's crucial to remember that Arteta's project is amazingly still ahead of schedule. The Basque manager took over from Unai Emery in December 2019 so his first full campaign was not long ago, in 2020-21. That season, Arsenal ended eighth. Arteta called for patience and luckily he got it, because the positive trajectory is clear.In 2021-22 the Gunners finished fifth, and last season, when they had the youngest squad in the entire league, they finished second. This time around, their fate will depend on Sunday's results, but I have to reiterate just how difficult it is to do this against City, whose reign under Guardiola is unrivaled in modern football.Arsenal were aesthetically wonderful to watch this season, too. Now, the project continues to elevate under Arteta, and title or not, they deserve the best grade possible.Which team earned an F? Manchester UnitedLet me just begin by stating that not all of this is manager Erik ten Hag's fault, who had a strong debut season with Man United in 2022-23 after finishing third. It's not to say he isn't one of the main reasons for their poor campaign. Of course he is. He is the manager after all. But the club's downfall, which will see them without European football next season unless they either win the FA Cup or finish seventh, is multifaceted, and in order to give a fair grade, you have to look at everything.With United, it begins with the planning before a ball has even been kicked. The summer arrivals did not impact the squad in a major way (aside from goalkeeper André Onana, who has eight clean sheets, tied for fifth most in the league) and as a result, many areas have been exposed. Rasmus Højlund is talented, but he is not the finished product, which is evident after only getting nine league goals.Meanwhile, it's fair to say Real Madrid exercised foresight when they allowed Casemiro's exit because his engine is running low, exacerbating United's issues in midfield. And defensively? The injuries didn't help -- especially to Lisandro Martínez -- but it's not like any replacement was strong enough to put together a good run. Ten Hag changed his center-back pairings 14 times this season. That to me says vulnerability.Lastly, Man United are currently set to finish the season with a minus-3 goal difference, which will be a first for the club since the start of the Premier League, having last finished with a negative goal difference in 1989-90. All of these facts force me to give Man United a poor grade for 2023-24, and it should come to no one's surprise.How's this for impressive: Emery's Aston Villa achieved Champions League qualification for the first time in Premier League history since the competition allowed qualification to three/four teams. It's the first time they will be in the top European tournament in more than 40 years.This season, they also achieved more Premier League points than any other Aston Villa side since the calendar was reduced to 38 games. They also delivered some impressive victories, including the double over Arsenal and perhaps the best performance of the season back in early December, when they didn't just beat Man City but outclassed them in almost every statistical department.All of this and more was done in Emery's first full season with the club as he only joined in October 2022. To add more context, the Basque manager did it with a depleted squad as he had to deal with two ACL injuries for the entire season (Tyrone Mings, Emiliano Buendía) -- plus a third ACL injury in February (Boubacar Kamara) -- and other major absences from key players including a two-month spell for Pau Torres and a stop-start season for Jacob Ramsey.In fact, for the entire campaign, at least three key players were always missing. But Emery's mantra of zero excuses permeated throughout the training ground, thus energizing them to a record-breaking journey. When it comes to helping a player understand his role, how to best utilize it, and do it in rapid speed, there might not be a better manager in the Premier League right now than Emery, who is also a master at in-game tactics, which is one of the hardest things to do in modern football. Now, thanks to his leadership, the Champions League beckons.Runner-up: Mikel Arteta, Pep Guardiola ,Dominic Solanke renace con ayuda de Andoni Iraola en Bournemouth. Su desempeño mejoró significativamente a medida que se convirtió en el máximo goleador histórico del club.
