CNN —Euro 2024 host Germany was dumped out of the tournament on Friday after a 2-1 quarterfinal defeat by Spain in Stuttgart. With Germany seemingly out of time, Florian Wirtz’s slick finish in the 89th minute kept the tournament host’s hopes alive. However, in extra-time Spain conjured up their own late goal on 119 minutes, Mikel Merino heading home the winner to send the three-time Euros winner to the semifinals. It marks the second successive European Championships in which Spain has reached the semifinals stage while Germany’s run at its home tournament is over. Tournament winners in 1964, 2008 and 2012, Spain will play France or Portugal in the semifinals, with those two teams playing later on Friday in Hamburg.

Spain thought they had beaten Germany after Dani Olmo’s 51st-minute finish to a fine team move. Having beaten the hosts in dramatic fashion, some will now consider Spain the favourites to win Euro 2024. Spain had never previously beaten a host nation in a knockout tie at either a World Cup or European Championship. What Germany had to remember was that De la Fuente’s Spain are far more versatile in the way they play. His final game in professional football was mixed.

CNN —Portuguese and Al-Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo has been banned for one match and fined for “provoking” fans in a Saudi Pro League match on Sunday. In footage from the game, Ronaldo can be seen cupping his hand to his ear, taking in the chanting from the opposing Al-Shabab fans. Ronaldo gestures towards the Al-Shabab fans. As a result, Ronaldo has been suspended for one match, ordered to pay around $2,666 (10,000 riyals) to the SAFF and an additional $5,333 (20,000 riyals) to Al-Shabab for complaint filing fees. Ronaldo, a five-time Balon d’Or winner, joined Al-Nassr following an acrimonious exit from English Premier League side Manchester United in late 2022.

CNN —Cristiano Ronaldo has come under scrutiny for a gesture he made towards fans following Al-Nassr’s 3-2 win against Al-Shabab in the Saudi Pro League on Sunday. In footage from the match, fans can be heard taunting Ronaldo by chanting about Lionel Messi, a long-time rival of the 39-year-old forward. The gesture is now being investigated by the Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF), according to Saudi-owned media outlet Asharq Al Awsat, which cited unnamed sources. CNN has contacted Ronaldo’s representatives, the SAFF, Al-Nassr and Al-Shabab for further comment. It was Al-Nassr, however, which would have the final say as Talisca’s second goal deep into the match completed a 3-2 victory in an exciting encounter.

(Reuters) - Altivia Chemical was working to contain a toxic gas leak from its LaPorte, Texas, plant on Monday, as the city's emergency management agency ordered some nearby residents and five neighboring facilities to shelter in place out of caution. Halliburton's Multi-Chem Bayport site, Stepan's Pasadena facility, and three others belonging to Kuraray Americas, Evonik, and NCTI, were sheltering in place after the offsite release of a toxic gas called phosgene, according to community alerts. Located about 30 miles (48 km) east of Houston, La Porte's Office of Emergency Management (LPOEM) said the city issued a cautionary shelter-in-place until the amount of phosgene released is determined. "A chemical emergency has occurred and residents south of Fairmont between Bay Area and S. 16th Street need to immediately shelter in place," LPOEM said on X, formerly Twitter. Exposure to phosgene may cause vomiting, breathing difficulty, chest pain and, when liquid, frostbite.

MADRID, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Barcelona's 16-year-old forward Lamine Yamal received a first senior call-up for Spain, as manager Luis de la Fuente named his squad on Friday for next week's Euro 2024 Group A matches against Georgia and Cyprus. Yamal, who has a Moroccan father, was born and raised in Spain. He is a Spain youth international and his call-up for the senior side will end the hopes of Moroccan fans that he could be persuaded to switch allegiance. He was a stalwart of Spain's youth teams and is a footballer with exceptional power. Reporting by Fernando Kallas Editing by Toby DavisOur Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.

However, such is the nature of the Premier League that City will certainly not have everything their own way. Juergen Klopp's side's failure to qualify for the Champions League would have stung, especially with Manchester United finishing eight points above them. Newcastle United, who finished fourth last term, will be determined to prove it was no flash in the pan, although they will need to juggle the demands of battling for a top-four finish with the Champions League this time. The additions of winger Harvey Barnes from Leicester City and Sandro Tonali from Milan will certainly help. Postecoglou is the first Australian to manage in the Premier League and faces a big challenge at the north London club who endured a toxic 2022-23 campaign under Antonio Conte.

CNN —A woman was arrested outside Taylor Swift’s Rhode Island home on July 3, just one month after an Indiana man was charged with stalking and harassing the star and allegedly sending her threatening messages. Police did not confirm the Westerly home belonged to Swift, but the company listed on property records has the same mailing address as Swift’s management company in Nashville. According to court records, the woman will be arraigned on July 14. CNN has reached out to reps for Taylor Swift but has not yet heard back. Taebel has been accused of sending threatening messages from March to May of this year to Swift, her team and management.

CNN —Spain celebrated its first international trophy in 11 years after beating Croatia on penalties in the UEFA Nations League final on Sunday. Spain lifts its first international trophy for 11 years after beating Croatia. Carvajal’s goal sent the Spanish fans into a frenzy, as they celebrated the team’s first international trophy since it won the European Championships in 2012. It was also arguably the last chance for Croatia captain Luka Modric to cap off his brilliant international career with a trophy. It remains to be seen whether the 37-year-old will retire from international duty before having another chance in an international final.

Twitter removed the blue checkmarks on Thursday for all users who didn't subscribe to Twitter Blue. That included several of the English Premier League's elite soccer players, who hit back at Elon Musk. Elite soccer players from England's Premier League took aim at Elon Musk after their blue checkmarks were taken away on Thursday. Twitter Blue led to several trolls impersonating high-profile accounts, while those who've paid for the blue checkmark have been mocked. Meanwhile, Gary Lineker — a former England soccer player who now hosts the BBC's "Match of the Day" — said he had subscribed to Twitter Blue.
Dec 20 (Reuters) - The French Rugby Federation (FFR) said its president Bernard Laporte is stepping back from his duties after being sentenced on corruption charges but would remain in the role during his appeal process. Laporte received a two-year suspended prison sentence and a 75,000 euros ($79,582.50) fine after being found guilty in a trial for influence peddling and illegally acquiring assets. "In effect, Bernard Laporte remains president of the French Rugby Federation," the FFR said in a statement on Monday. The statement added that Laporte would meet with French sports minister Amelie Oudea-Castera on Thursday, and that an interim president would be appointed during Laporte's appeal process. Laporte also decided to "self-suspend" himself from his position as World Rugby vice-chairman after being sentenced.
The Atlas Lions made history as the first African team to reach a World Cup semifinal. They made history as the first all-female refereeing crew for a men's World Cup match. It was Morocco's first World Cup win since 1998 — and its third-ever at the tournament. Less spoken about is that they also rate better on television than the men do in the World Cup. We’ll just have to wait and see, though with the US, Canada and Mexico hosting the 2026 World Cup, soccer isn’t going away anytime soon.
AL KHOR, Qatar, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Spain coach Luis Enrique made one change to his starting lineup against Germany in their World Cup Group E on Sunday following their opening 7-0 demolition of Costa Rica, with Dan Carvajal replacing Cesar Azpilicueta in defence. The Spaniards, who will all but qualify with a win over the Germans, were otherwise unchanged in attack with Dani Olmo, Feran Torres and Marco Asensio. Germany, who suffered a shock opening loss to Japan and are in desperate need of points, brought on fullback Thilo Kehrer in the place of Nico Schlotterbeck. Coach Hansi Flick also dropped forward Kai Havertz, boosting his midfield with Leon Goretzka.

CNN —Brentford defeated Manchester City 2-1 on Saturday at the Etihad Stadium, ending City’s run of 16 consecutive home victories with a breathtaking breakaway goal in the 98th minute that sealed victory. One moment, Phil Foden was taking a corner for Manchester City; a chance to set up a winning goal with the scores tied at 1-1 and the clock in added time. The next, Yoane Wissa had intercepted the ball and was haring down the wing to the opposite end of the pitch. Toney scores his team's first goal. Just ten minutes later, the Spaniard intervened in defense, somehow sweeping away another Brentford attempt on goal.

Mai mult, jurnalistul Fabrizio Romano a anunțat că oferta de 116 milioane de euro a lui Manchester City pentru Harry Kane a fost refuzată de de formația londoneză. Presa din Anglia avansează acum un plan B realizat de Manchester City, în cazul în care transferul lui Kane nu se va putea realiza. Fundașul central Aymeric Laporte, apărătorul dreapta Joao Cancelo sau mijlocașul ofensiv Bernardo Silva sunt jucători pe placul conducerii de la Barcelona și ar putea fi incluși în această tranzacție, scrie sursa citată. Antoine Griezmann, ajuns la 30 de ani, e de doi ani la Barcelona și este un titular constant în echipa catalană.

Fundașul echipei Manchester City, Aymeric Laporte, va juca pentru naționala Spaniei.FIFA a aprobat demersul care permite ca fundaşul francez să poată evolua pentru "Furia Roja" cu efect imediat".Astfel, jucătorul născut în Franţa, la Agen, va putea îmbrăca tricoul naționalei Spaniei chiar la Campionatul European, care va începe în mai puțin de o lună.Deşi e francez prin naştere, Aymeric Laporte avea un străbunic basc şi astfel a ajuns, în 2012, la Athletic Bilbao, unde, la un moment dat, era singurul străin din lot. Anterior, el a fost junior la un club din regiunea franceză a Ţării Bascilor, Bayonne, şi apoi la Basconia, înainte de a ajunge pe San Mames.La 30 ianuarie 2018, jucătorul a fost transferat de Manchester City de la Bilbao, în schimbul sumei record atunci pentru "citadini", de 65 de milioane de euro.Laporte a fost al doilea cel mai scump fundaş din istorie, după ce Liverpool a plătit, în aceeaşi lună a anului 2018, clubului Southampton 84 de milioane de euro pentru olandezul Virgil Van Dijk.Jucătorul de 26 de ani, care a evoluat de 19 ori pentru naţionala de tineret a Franţei, a fost convocat de trei ori la prima reprezentativă a "cocoşului galic", dar nu a jucat niciun minut, astfel că acum este eligibil de a evolua pentru prima reprezentativă spaniolă.Înainte de ajunge la Campionatul European, Laporte mai are șanse să câștige și trofeul Ligii Campionilor.Echipa sa de club, Manchester City, va juca finala cu Chelsea pe 29 mai la Porto. Meciul va fi transmis în direct pe PRIME cu începere de la ora 22:00.
