New Delhi: The disparity in finding clubs by the All India Football Federation (AIFF) for skipping the Super Cup is being seen as an attempt to break the unified I-League group. The disciplinary committee of the AIFF, in a unanimous decision on May 16, fined five I-League clubs –- Gokulam Kerala FC, Minerva Punjab FC, NEROCA, Aizwal FC, and Churchill Brothers –- Rs 10 lakh each for non-participation in the Super Cup. But Quest East Bengal was handed over a penalty of only Rs 5 lakh. Eyebrows were raised by the decision of the disciplinary committee headed by Ushanath Banerjee with Haresh Vora, Adithya Reddy, Prateek Chadda and Madhab M. Ghosh as its members.”Why are they imposing different fines for different teams when the mistake committed by them is the same,” V.C. Praveen, President of Gokulam Kerala FC, told IANS.Quess East Bengal had told the disciplinary panel in its submission that the club could not participate in the tournament because of the refusal by its sponsor Quest to support the outing.When asked if the AIFF is trying to dent the unified I-League teams, Praveen replied in the affirmative. “Yes, they are trying exactly that, otherwise nobody will charge different penalty for the same fault,” he said.”We have already lost five to seven lakh rupees when we stayed in Bhubaneswar for three-four days and we were ready to play,” Praveen said, adding that the club did not even get any subsidy for participating in the tournament. “We are talking to our lawyers for future course of action,” he added.

The win clinched SU a spot in the ACC tournament. Here are the best images from Sunday’s contest. Comments
Gianluigi Buffon His role can’t be underappreciated in Italy’s winning campaign in FIFA World Cup 2006. He is 38 and plans to play the next World Cup in 2018 in Russia and he may as well realise his plans if he remains fit. But it will be a long shot for him to stay till the Euro 2020, so this might be the last European Championship for this veteran. Andres IniestaHe first surfaced as a child prodigy who had everyone jumping at their seats at the prospects of seeing him represent Spain one day. One of the wizards who architected Spain’s World Cup victory in 2010 through their dazzling spells of eye-catching football, Iniesta hinted that this might have been his last Euro Cup after Spain succumbed to Italy in the last-16. Just last Euro Cup, he has had his hands on the player of the tournament award and it is almost gut wrenching to perceive the next Euro Cup without him.Iker CasillasFew can claim to have amassed the love as Casillas did from the masses. The teenager who toured for Euro 2000 as back up to Santiago Canizares toured France for Euro 2016 in a supporting role to David De Gea. Spain’s early exit from the tournament means Casillas’ last Euro campaign came to an end without having to spend a single minute on field. An illustrious career which saw Casillas captaining one of the most successful Spanish team ever didn’t deserve to end like this but during his fairly long career Casillas had earned a fair number of critics as well and with Casillas himself dropping hints regarding his retirement we don’t see him making till the Euro 2020. Tomas RosickyThe Arsenal star remained an integral part of the Czech Republic’s national team during the major portion of the last decade. Whenever his stats will be discussed, his injuries which marred this fine player’s career will always be discussed. Even in the recently concluded Euro Cup which effectively was his last tournament he showcased some solid performances especially in the match against Croatia which the Czechs drew 2-2. Rosicky picked up a thigh injury during the encounter and was ruled out of the rest of Czech Republic’s campaign, which was a very short lived one.Bastian Schweinsteiger The only appearances that he has made in Euro ’16 have been in supporting role, coming off the bench. But even that couldn’t desist him from scoring goals. The Manchester United player has had a bad past year or so as his injury precluded him from remaining in action after a wonderful World Cup 2014. He is 31 and one may think that he may be able to eke out another big tournament but his inability to extricate himself from the injuries means that this might be his last big tournament with Germany. Only Klose (37) has appeared more times for Germany in major tournaments than Schweinsteiger (36). Patrice EvraAt 35, Patrice Evra is lucky, and fit, enough to be in France’s manager’s good books as he is the first choice for the left back position in Euro ’16. Evra who has captained France and Manchester United and who had earned praise from the likes of Alex Ferguson, would find it very difficult to linger on till the next Euro. He started as an attacking player in the early stages of his career but later transcended beautifully into his present role.Zlatan IbrahimovićHe finished his last season with Paris Saint-Germain as his personal best as a professional as he scored 38 goals in 31 appearances making it 1.23 goals per appearance. Before the dismal end to Sweden’s campaign this Euro Cup, Zlatan had already announced that it would be the last time he would dawn Swedish colors so in his case we are sure that we won’t see this social media darling in Euro 2020. He scored 62 goals for Swedish National Team and despite the fact he couldn’t send a single ball towards the nets he feels proud for having represented Sweden and for having made all the fantastic memories with the team.Ricardo Carvalho He is 38 and he is still going strong. For someone of his age we would expect him to have played more games than mere 85 but he can’t be blamed for that as he had to spend three prime years of his life away from the Portuguese team on pretext of an argument with the manager, Paulo Bento. Carvalho indeed said he is not as strong as English center backs generally are but his speed and tackling skills were what made him stand out from his competitors. Carvalho gave his all in ensuring that Portugal clinch the trophy for what would be his last European Championship campaign.Share this:FacebookRedditTwitterPrintPinterestEmailWhatsAppSkypeLinkedInTumblrPocketTelegram

Despite leading the conference when the NHL season was shut down in March, defending Stanley Cup champion St. Louis can finish no higher than third and needs to beat Dallas on Sunday to avoid the No. 4 seed.The Golden Knights dominated the Blues in each team’s second round-robin game, outshooting them 38-17. St. Louis goalie Jordan Binnington was sharp early and made 32 saves but wound up getting shelled.Alex Tuch and Shea Theodore each scored twice for Vegas, while defenseman Zach Whitecloud and Stone added a goal each. Tuch also had an assist on Whitecloud’s goal.After Robin Lehner won Vegas’ first game against Dallas, Marc-Andre Fleury was solid in making 13 saves against St. Louis. Fleury figures to be the Golden Knights’ starting goalie when they start their best-of-seven playoff series next week.Like the East’s top-seeded Boston Bruins, who they beat in the 2019 Cup Final, the Blues have some work to do before moving into an elimination series. They got two goals from defenseman Colton Parayko, David Perron’s second in two games and one from Troy Brouwer, who was inserted into the lineup amid several injuries.NOTES: Scoring forward Vladimir Tarasenko, forward Robert Thomas and defenseman Carl Gunnarsson were all scratched for the Blues. … Max Pacioretty was again out for the Golden Knights. … Neither Ryan Reaves nor Lehner took a knee during the anthems after doing so before the Dallas game.Image credits: AP First Published: 7th August, 2020 07:07 IST Written By WATCH US LIVE

PORT OF SPAIN, TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO – AUGUST 29: Carlos Brathwaite (R) of Jamaica Tallawahs celebrates the dismissal of Ben Dunk (L) of St Kitts & Nevis Patriots during the Hero Caribbean Premier League match 18 between St Kitts & Nevis Patriots and Jamaica Tallawahs at Queen’s Park Oval on August 29, 2020 in Port of Spain, Trinidad And Tobago. (Photo by Randy Brooks – CPL T20/CPL T20 via Getty Images) Glenn Phillips’s unbeaten half-century and Carlos Brathwaite’s three-wicket haul powered Jamaica Tallawahs to a critical 37-run victory over luckless St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the Caribbean Premier League on Saturday. When Permaul had Ramdin taken at the wicket in the eighth over, Patriots lost four wickets for 10 runs off 23 balls and needed a 35-run sixth wicket stand between Evin Lewis (21) and Nick Kelly (16) to halt the slide. With just two wins from five outings prior to the contest, Tallawahs needed a win to stay in contention for the semi-finals, and they successfully defended 147 at Queen’s Park Oval to earn a comfortable win in the end which took them to six points and third in the six-team standings. But both fell in successive overs with just two runs added as Brathwaite and Lamichhane crushed the lower order. Phillips put on 28 for the first wicket with Nkrumah Bonner (16), 38 for the second wicket with Jermaine Blackwood who made 27 from 26 balls and a further 26 for the third with Asif Ali (14). In reply, Patriots never looked the part and collapsed for 110 in the final over, with Brathwaite finishing with three for 11 from 3.4 overs. Put down on 27 in the 13th over, Phillips lifted his tempo with three consecutive sixes off left-armer Sheldon Cottrell in the 17th over before gathering 15 from the final one bowled by captain Rayad Emrit who snatched three for 32 from four overs of medium pace.
After 10 overs, Phillips was labouring on 13 from 22 balls with Tallawahs finding scoring difficult at 53 for one. CMC The effort began with Phillips’s 79 not out which held the innings together and carried Tallawahs to 147 for six off their 20 overs, after they opted to bat first on a slow track. He faced 61 balls and punched two fours and half-dozen sixes, anchoring a string of small partnerships as the side batted around him. Patriots did appear at one stage to be making a fist of it when opener Kieran Powell (21) and Denesh Ramdin (13) were involved in a 34-run second wicket stand, after Edwards had cleaned up Chris Lynn (8) cheaply with the fourth delivery of the innings. Tallawahs’ spinners played key roles, left-armer Veerasammy Permaul (2-20) and Nepalese leggie Sandeep Lamichhane (2-27) taking two wickets apiece from four-over spells, while new-ball speedster Fidel Edwards finished with two for 39.
Former Black Stars skipper, Stephen Appiah, has revealed that former AC Milan midfielder, Gennaro Gattuso, was the most challenging opponent he came up against in his professional career.Appiah faced several midfielders in his time in Italian football which lasted from 1997 to 2005 and then from 2009 to 2011. In those two spells, he played for Udinese, Parma, Brescia, Juventus, Bologna and Cessena.Despite the number of opponents Appiah played against, he believes that Gattuso gave him the most problems especially during the Ghanaian’s time at Udinese.“The toughest player I faced was Gennaro Gattuso and that was when I played for Udinese. We faced Salernitana, a team from the Southern part of Italy and that was where Gattuso was playing at the time.He was so difficult to play against and he even broke my tooth by the time match came to an end. He just would not allow you to go away with the ball.He was really the toughest among the likes of Emerson, Demetrio Albertini and the many others I came up against.”Appiah was speaking on Betway’s Live Instagram chat with fans on Saturday, May 9.

Their starting third baseman (Eugenio Suarez) and second baseman (Mike Moustakas) combined for 84 home runs last year (Moustakas hit his 35 for the Brewers in 2019). And if you believe Joey Votto will bounce back with a typical Votto-esque season — the Reds certainly believe — then that lineup could be strong. Add Lindor to that group at shortstop? Best infield in the division, and up there with the best in the league. The outfield needs work, especially if center fielder Nick Senzel — the No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 MLB Draft — is the centerpiece in the Lindor deal. Multiple reports say that Cleveland is enamored with Senzel, who had an underwhelming rookie campaign in 2019.But, yeah. If Cincinnati adds Lindor to an already solid group of primary players, the time to buy low on the Reds will be long gone. This rumor seems to suggest that’s certainly possible, and that would make the state’s southernmost team into a very legitimate playoff threat.Even though it just seems wrong that Cleveland would consider trading Francisco Lindor — he’s everything a franchise could possibly want in a superstar, both on and off the field — the trade rumors aren’t going away. Cleveland owner Paul Dolan long ago said, essentially, that Lindor won’t stay in Ohio — well, northern Ohio, at least — long term. He’s expected to make around $17 million in arbitration for the 2020 season, and then he has one more year of arbitration eligibility and he’s set to become a free agent after the 2021 season. MORE: Why trading Lindor would be embarrassing for ClevelandCleveland doesn’t do market-value extensions, and that’s what it would take to keep Lindor in town for the next decade. The front office is fond of long-term extensions that take players through their arbitration years and a year or two of free agency, often with multiple club options for those years. The club takes a bit of a risk with those deals, should a player fail to continue to develop as expected, but in most cases — because the Indians are careful to hand them out only to certain players — the club winds up getting great value and production for the salaries. Recent examples include Corey Kluber, Jose Ramirez, Carlos Carrasco and Roberto Perez.But Lindor is just two years from free agency. He’s avoided any long-term extensions with the club. It’s not because he wants out, necessarily, but because he wants to be paid his fair market value. He rolled the dice, and it’s paid off. So, Cleveland will probably eventually trade him, and the sooner they trade him, the bigger the player return. If there was any doubt about that, the front office only has to look at Boston and the situation the Red Sox are currently in with Mookie Betts, a similar, ideal superstar who is a year closer to free agency. Even though Boston is a huge market and certainly has the money to spend, the Sox seem intent on trading Betts, though most reports indicate the return won’t be great, because he’ll only be in his new uniform for one year and be owed a salary around $27 million. MORE: Sporting News’ MLB All-Decade teamBut for two years of Lindor — he had a 4.6 bWAR in his 99-game rookie campaign and averaged a 6.0 bWAR in his four full seasons — teams are interested. The Dodgers have been spurned by pretty much every impact free agent so far this offseason, and they have been the team most connected to Lindor. The Padres have been reportedly interested, too. And both of those teams have the young, controllable players that Cleveland will crave in return. Let’s talk about Cincinnati, though. As we wrote earlier this week, after a year or so of smart additions, the Reds are already a wise choice as a surprise playoff team. Their rotation just might be the best in the division. The two big-league baseball teams from Ohio made a pretty surprising trade last summer, when the club from Cleveland sent starting pitcher Trevor Bauer four hours southwest on Interstate 71 to the team from Cincinnati. Could another deal — a much more impactful trade — be on the horizon?
