CNN —The head coach of Spanish second division soccer team Sporting Gijón has apologized for remarks he made which likened talking to women in discos to scoring goals. “In the end, a goal is like girls in the disco,” said Miguel Ángel Ramírez at one point during his post-match press conference following his side’s 3-0 win over Mirandés on Sunday. I apologize for [my comments].”CNN Sport has reached out to Sporting Gijón for comment. Prior to his apology, Ramírez had received criticism for his comments, including from the mayor of the city of Gijón. “Conversations like this, really unfortunately, show the importance of continuing to work for a more egalitarian society,” Carmen Moriyón wrote on X.

☆ Qatar relying on playmaker Afif to pull the strings

DOHA, Nov 2 (Reuters) - Qatar's main playmaker Akram Afif is perhaps the World Cup host country's greatest asset and worry wrapped up in one. During the Asia Cup tournament in 2019, which Qatar won, Afif's assists supplied most of the nine record-setting goals Almoaz Ali scored. The moves that Afif sets up are so critical to Qatar's success that if something goes awry and Afif is not on the pitch everything could unravel. Afif was born in the Gulf Arab state where his Tanzanian-born father of Somali descent was playing for prominent local club Al Ittihad. The Qatar World Cup is Afif's big opportunity to play on the world stage and, perhaps, to draw the attention of scouts and clubs beyond the Gulf Arab state, Hashim said.
