Italy sack their coach after he failed to qualify them for 2018 world cup

By
Italy have announced they have sacked manager Gian Piero Ventura with immediate effect.Like our Facebook page
The 69-year-old was under the spotlight after failing to guide the iconic European side to next summer's World Cup.
Defeat by Sweden over two legs meant Italy failed to book themselves a World Cup place for only the second time in their history.
'As the first point of order of the day, [Italian Football Federation President Carlo] Tavecchio communicated the choice on the guidance of the Azzurri and, as of today, Giampiero Ventura is no longer the Commissario Tecnico of the national team,' a Press release via the Italian FA (FIGC) confirmed.
The FIGC have wasted no time in looking for a successor however, after already sounding out former Real Madrid and Bayern Munich boss Carlo Ancelotti about potentially taking the role.
It is the first time in 60 years the Azzurri have missed out on the pinnacle tournament of world football, and the first major tournament they have missed since Euro 1992.

Messi doesn't think he can become friends with Ronaldo one day

By

Messi and Ronaldo are two of the best to play football. Easily the two greatest players of their generation. While they respect each others talents, will the Barcelona and Real Madrid stars be friends? They have plenty in common. From guiding their respective sides to domestic and European glory, not to mention holding aloft the most prestigious individual honours. Messi and Ronaldo have nine Ballon d'Or gongs between them, though Messi is unsure whether they can become friends. "I don't know if we will be," the Argentine ace told MARCA. "Friendship is built through spending time together and getting to know each other. We have no relationship, mainly because we only see each other at awards ceremonies and that's the only time we speak. Obviously, they lock horns during the El Clasico and are often seen together at FIFA functions. Messi added: "Everything is fine, but our lives don't cross over very often."

Wwe-Vince McMahon shocks fans by Firing The Rock

By

WWE boss Vince McMahon The wrestling legend had been backstage at the company’s flagship programme all day,  working on scenes for Fighting With My Family  – about WWE superstar Paige and her family. And – although not appearing during the live show – he walked out before Raw kicked off to film a few shots for the film. After a couple of minutes entertaining the crowd with his iconic catchphrases, McMahon’s entrance music hit and he came out to “fire” The Rock – real name Dwayne Johnson. The 71-year-old then gave Johnson his marching orders and the pair were seen storming off the stage. There was no indication such a moment was going to happen and the WWE Universe were stunned that one of the label’s all-time greats would no longer be appearing in the ring. “Can’t believe Vince fired The Rock,” one fan tweeted. Another wrote: “@TheRock I am reading sources you got fired by WWE. I hope it...

Angry Messi tells Barca to Drop Andre Gomes

By
Image
Gomes has endured a difficult first season at Barcelona since signing from Valencia in the summer. But despite his erratic displays, manager Luis Enrique continues to persist with him. His selection is said to be causing frictions in the dressing room with Messi particularly annoyed. And Spanish outlet DiarioGol claim the Argentina international has demanded Gomes be dropped with immediate effect. Messi and fellow forwards Neymar and Luis Suarez are said to be appalled at Enrique's faith in Gomes. They believe their failure to hit top form is down to the 23-year-old lacklustre displays in the middle of the park. The midfielder's inclusion has come at a price with Ivan Rakitic forced to settle for a place on the bench. And Rakitic is now being Linked with a move to Real Madrid having grown tired of life out in the cold.

MMA-Vitor Belfort is ‘sad’ to see MMA become a sport where fighters run from tough fights

By
Image
It hasn’t been the best couple of years for Vitor Belfort, who is currently on a two fight skid after suffering back-to-back defeats to Gegard Mousasi and Ronaldo Souza, losing three of four overall since 2015. But don’t you dare tell “The Phenom” that he’s in a rut, as he says losing against some of the best mixed martial arts (MMA) has to offer is nothing to be ashamed of and doesn’t signify a decline. "Who said it’s complicated? I fought the two best fighters in the division, so it’s actually not complicated, it’s an opportunity for me to rewrite my story,” Belfort told  MMA Fighting . "It was a misstep. That’s the problem in fight (business). People have the loss as the worst moment, but it's the best moment, the time where I can rewrite my story again,” said Vitor. To hear the Brazilian bomber tell it, it seems the easy thing to do is to try and bury someone when they are down instead of seeing the posi...

Clint Dempsey scores twice to take Seattle Sounders to the final of Conference Cup

By
Image
SEATTLE -- Three thoughts on the Seattle Sounders' 2-0 Western Conference semifinal win against the Vancouver Whitecaps in the MLS Cup Playoffs. There had been speculation prior to kickoff as to whether this could be Clint Dempsey's final match at CenturyLink Field. It is the Sounders' call whether or not to pick up the 34-year-old's team option for 2018 -- and after earning close to $3.9m this season, that decision is going to be agonized over in the front office. Dempsey's arrival in the summer of 2013 was a watershed moment in the modern history of the club, a personification of its long-term ambitions. It would be unfair to label him a bust, or anything close to it. The Texan has netted nearly 50 goals in more than four seasons in Seattle, and he helped deliver the memorable Open Cup/Supporters' Shield double back in 2014. There is a bit of a sense, however, that he hasn't completely lived up to the outsized hype that heralded his arrival. Throu...

Ranieri Sack: Italian media tags Leicester City and English "Ungrateful"

By
Image
AS Roma coach Luciano Spalletti blasted Claudio Ranieri’s sacking as a “scandal” as the Italian press lambasted Premier League champions Leicester and the “ungrateful English”. Ranieri’s dismissal comes just nine months after guiding the unfashionable English club to a first Premier League title but follows a series of disastrous results which have seen the team slide towards the relegation zone. “It’s inexplicable, there is no recognition,” Spalletti told a press conference after hearing of his compatriot’s dismissal on Thursday night. Spalletti later defended his compatriot on Roma TV. “He was the one who created this chemistry in the team and the locker room that made it possible to win the championship,” he said. “And when you win an English championship against City, United and Chelsea, if you have a little dignity, you even accept to be relegated without touching anything. “It should be such a...
