ENTENDA A ORIGEM DA ACUSAÇÃO DE JOHN TEXTOR

John Textor, no início do mês passado, revelou em entrevista que possui provas de que existiram manipulações em partidas do Campeonato Brasileiro dos últimos três anos – 2021 até 2023. Para analisar o caso, o Supremo Tribunal de Justiça Desportiva (STJD) abriu um inquérito para apurar as afirmações do mandatário.

José Perdiz de Jesus, presidente do STJD, estipulou dois prazos para Textor enviar as supostas provas. No entanto, o empresário não apresentou o material e alegou que o tribunal não tinha a competição necessária para avaliar o caso.

Portanto, os integrantes do tribunal deliberaram que o norte-americano deveria ser alvo de julgamento, que está marcado para o dia 15 de abril.

There’s a lot of talk about champions Liverpool and league-leaders Arsenal, but recently dethroned four in a row serial champions Manchester City cannot be counted out of this title race.

Last time out, Pep Guardiola’s team battled to a 1-0 victory over Brentford, with Erling Haaland, who else, the only scorer in West London.

The goalbot himself has now scored 12 of the 19 goals Manchester City have managed in the Premier League and Champions League this season, that’s 63%, as well as bagging eight across his last two appearances for Norway, scoring a hat-trick, as well as missing two penalties, during Saturday’s 5-0 demolition of Israel at the Ullevål.

In seven of the last eight Premier League seasons, including each of the last five, the team that has scored the most goals has gone on to win the title, so is Pep Guardiola building an unstoppable attacking duo, featuring Haaland of course, one that can rival anything that has come before at the Etihad?

Manchester City's best strike partnerships

Since being taken over by the Abu Dhabi United Group for Development and Investment in 2008, Manchester City supporters have enjoyed watching numerous high-quality centre-forwards.

Haaland’s frankly mind-boggling numbers have raised the standard to an astronomical level, but that should not denigrate his predecessors, so let’s outline Manchester City’s highest-scoring attacking duos from the pre-Haaland era.

As the table documents, during his time in Manchester, Sergio Agüero formed a deadly partnership with pretty much everybody, currently the club’s all-time record scorer with 260, although Haaland already has 136.

While the Agüero-Sterling pairing may have bagged the most goals in 2018/19, in terms of pure strike partnerships, one has to look back to 2013/14 when the Citizens won the Premier League title under Manuel Pellegrini.

That season, Agüero and Edin Džeko scored 54 goals between them, while Yaya Touré and Álvaro Negredo also surpassed the 20 goals mark, as the Sky Blues bagged 102 league goals, netting 156 times overall, winning the title and the League Cup.

Of course, these numbers appear puny when compared to those of their Norwegian powerhouse, bagging 52 by himself during his first season at the club, but who could become Haaland’s own Džeko?

Manchester City's next great strike partnership

As already outlined, Haaland is scoring a very high proportion of Manchester City’s goals this season, which has to be a concern for Guardiola.

However, could the return of Omar Marmoush help solve this issue?

The Egyptian suffered a knee ligament injury in the September international break, hobbling off during the Pharaohs’ World Cup qualifier against Burkina Faso in Ouagadougou, but is expected to be back soon, potentially involved in Saturday’s clash with Everton.

After arriving from Eintracht Frankfurt in January for £59m, the 26-year-old made quite the early impression in Sky Blue.

By the end of the campaign, only five players had scored more Bundesliga goals than Marmoush, despite the fact he only featured in the first half of the season, departing having bagged 15 goals in 17 appearances.

Once at Man City, he added eight more goals to his tally, including a hat-trick against Newcastle, before this sublime strike against Bournemouth that won Premier League goal of the season.

When he signed, Marmoush stated that he hoped himself and Haaland will “enjoy playing together”, and there were positive signs when it comes to their burgeoning partnership.

Mustapha Hassan of Total Football Analysis believes having both at his disposal presents Guardiola with a ‘tactical wildcard’, concluding that Marmoush’s versatility and off-ball movement can make the partnership work, with the Norwegian very much the focal point.

Their hulking striker aside, Phil Foden was Man City’s top-scorer last season with 13, three of which came at the Club World Cup, while the same can be said this season; the Englishman the only other player with multiple goals, on target against the once mighty Manchester United and Huddersfield.

Whether it be due to injury, fatigue or a drop-off in form, not that there’s been one yet, Man City surely cannot solely rely on Haaland to score all the goals all the time forever.

Thus, the return of Marmoush could be a somewhat under-the-radar massive boost to their Premier League title aspirations.

The Citizens’ next three league fixtures are Everton (H), Aston Villa (A) and then Bournemouth (H), all very winnable, before Liverpool come to town on 9 November, a huge litmus test for both, so will the Sky Blues have their own free-scoring Egyptian King by then, linking up with Haaland just as Agüero and Džeko did together over a decade ago?

Man City have signed a "world class" star who is a new Gundogan-type player

The atmosphere around Arsenal at the moment is incredibly positive.

Mikel Arteta’s side are sitting atop the Premier League table, three points clear of Manchester City and four points clear of Liverpool.

Moreover, while their title rivals look porous at the back, the Gunners are as solid as they’ve ever been and haven’t allowed a single shot on target across the last two games.

In other words, they are going into the Champions League game against Atlético Madrid in brilliant form, apart from up top, that is. Therefore, the manager should drop Viktor Gyokeres from the side.

Why Gyokeres should be dropped

Okay, so before the pitchforks and torches come out, there are a few reasons why dropping Gyokeres for this game makes sense, and the first one is sadly his form.

Yes, it’s certainly the case that the Swedish international’s presence on the pitch has at times helped to create space for others, but what he is ultimately in the team to do is score goals, and he hasn’t done that anywhere near enough this season.

For example, in 11 games across all competitions, the 27-year-old has scored just three goals, all three of which have come in the league, two against Leeds United and one against Nottingham Forest.

Simply put, with him not doing his primary job to the standard expected of him, it makes sense to see him dropped for the game against Atlético.

However, a possible reason why he is struggling in front of goal could be the fact he’s been thrown into the deep end by Kai Havertz’s injury and is currently in need of a proper rest.

Doing this would not only take some of the heat off him, but it might also allow him to come back into the side firing for the home game against Crystal Palace at the weekend.

Finally, the unfortunate reality is that Arteta does not have many options to play up top at the moment, so it might make sense to rest the former Sporting CP star to protect the makeup of the squad.

Fortunately, while the options to replace Gyokeres in the team are limited, they aren’t nonexistent.

The Arsenal star who should replace Gyokeres

While there isn’t an out-and-out striker to start ahead of Gyokeres, there are a few Arsenal players who could do a job up-top, like Leandro Trossard or Gabriel Martinelli.

Chalkboard

Football FanCast’s Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.

However, after the last year of football, there is, of course, only one player Arteta should be considering to replace the Swede: Mikel Merino.

The Spanish international may be a central midfielder by trade, but he has been incredibly prolific for club and country in 2025, and as things stand, remains the Gunners’ top scorer for the calander year.

For example, he ended last season with a tally of nine goals and five assists in 44 games, but eight of those goals and all five assists came in the new-year.

So far this season he only has one goal to his name, but it was a hugely important one away to Newcastle United.

As if that wasn’t enough, the 29-year-old monster, who Arsenal writer Adam Keys has dubbed “a magnet in the box,” has also found the back of the net eight times on international duty this year and provided one assist for good measure.

Moreover, he actually scored a hat-trick against Turkey in September, so there really cannot be any doubt over his outrageous goalscoring abilities anymore.

Ultimately, Merino is not going to become Arsenal’s starting striker, but with Gyokeres out of form, and likely in need of a rest, he could be the perfect solution for the game against Atlético.

The incredible Arteta signing is becoming utterly undroppable for Arsenal this season, just like Saka.

Clayton Kershaw has seen just about everything one possibly could on an MLB pitcher's mound throughout his 18 years in the show. But he may have experienced a career first during his outing on Thursday against the Rockies.

Midway through the third inning, Kershaw had a batter pinned with an 0-2 count when he went for the payoff pitch. While winding up to throw, however, something malfunctioned, and Kershaw ended up stuttering before spiking the ball into the ground not even halfway to the plate.

Kershaw typically has a pretty slow pitching motion, but he seemed to take a bit of extra time to get the ball out in this instance. Whatever hitch occurred was an awkward one, as he delivered maybe the worst pitch of his entire career.

The pitch was officially tracked as a 58 mph curveball, which of course, bounced on the grass in between the mound and the batters box. Ball one.

Kershaw ended up getting the strikeout on Ryan Ritter, though it certainly didn't look how he'd imagined it in his head. The 37-year-old improved to 8-2 on the season after throwing 5 2/3 innings with three strikeouts, three earned runs and one walk on the road in Colorado.

تسبب النجم المصري محمد صلاح في نشوب حرب كلامية بين جيمي كاراجر وميكا ريتشاردز، على الهواء مباشرة، بسبب التصريحات التي أدلى بها يوم السبت الماضي، قبل أن يتدخل تييري هنري للحيلولة بينهما.

ولم يسافر محمد صلاح رفقة بعثة ليفربول إلى إيطاليا لخوض مباراة إنتر ميلان، مساء يوم الثلاثاء، في الجولة السادسة من دوري أبطال أوروبا، مرحلة الدوري، حيث حقق الفريق الإنجليزي فوزًا بهدف دون رد.

جاء استبعاد محمد صلاح كقرار من آرني سلوت إثر تصريحاته الساخطة التي أدلى بها قبل أيام، والتي هاجم خلالها إدارة النادي والهوندي.

وقال ميكا ريتشاردز، في تصريحات عبر الهواء مباشرة في الاستوديو التحليلي عبر شبكة “سي بي إس” الأمريكية، ونقلتها صحيفة “ذا صن” الإنجليزية: “نحن نتحدث عن أحد أعظم اللاعبين الذين تألقوا في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز على الإطلاق”.

ورد كاراجر: “لكن الناس ينتقدون المدرب لعدم إشراكه، أنا لا أنتقد المدرب”، وأضاف ريتشاردز: “أتفهم إحباط محمد صلاح من رغبته في النزول إلى أرض الملعب، لقد قلت إنه مخطئ، ما زلت أعتقد أنه مخطئ لتصريحه بذلك، لذا أتفق  في هذه النقطة، لكنني أفهم أيضًا أنه، نظرًا لمستوى اللاعب، سيرغب في اللعب، سيشعر بالإحباط”.

وتابع كاراجر: “جميعنا نشعر بهذا الإحباط، ولكن عندما ننظر إلى المدرب ويجد أشخاصًا في الخارج يقولون (يا إلهي، يجب أن يشركه) دون النظر إلى السياق”، ليرد ريتشاردز: “لقد كتبت في عمودك قبل أسبوعين أن لديه مباراة عطلة الأسبوع من أجل إنقاذ مستقبله، إذن، لديك هذا الرأي بشأن المدرب أيضًا”.

ثم حاول تييري هنري، نجم آرسنال السابق، تهدئة الموقف بتدليك كاراجر بطريقة غريبة، وكان كاراجر قد جادل ريتشاردز سابقًا حول ما إذا كان ينبغي إشراك صلاح في مباراة ليدز.

ثم تساءل كاراجر: “في أي مباريات كان يجب أن يشارك؟”، ليرد ريتشاردز: “كنت سأشركه في مباراة ليدز، لكن الأول رد مذهولًا: “متى؟”، حيث رد الآخر قائلًا: “عندما كانوا بحاجة إلى هدف آخر، كان ليدز في المباراة يضغط، وفي بعض الأحيان كان من الممكن أن يتعرضوا لخطر الهجمة المرتدة”.

وشدد: “أنت تعرف محمد صلاح، أنت تعرف سجله من السنوات السابقة، بإمكانه أن يسجل هدفًا، صحيح أن مستواه لم يكن رائعًا، لكنني أتفهم إحباطه”.

ولكن كاراجر لم يتفق مع هذا، حيث قال: “كان ليفربول فائزًا بنتيجة 2/0، ليدز عاد وتعادل، كانت الكرة في الملعب لثلاث دقائق تقريبًا قبل أن يسجل ليفربول لتصبح النتيجة 3/2، كانت الفترة الزمنية قليلة، لا يمكنك التفكير في الدفع بـ محمد صلاح”.

وانفعل: “انتظروا، ليفربول لديه مشاكل كبيرة مع الكرات الثابتة، عليك أن تفكر فيما يفكر فيه المدرب على جانب الملعب: هل سأشرك لاعبًا لا يدافع ولن يساعدني في الكرات الثابتة لأنه صغير الحجم؟!”.

ولم يتوقف الأمر بينهما عند هذا الحد، حيث تعجب ريتشاردز من المنشور الخاص بـ كاراجر، تعليقًا على صورة محمد صلاح في صالة الألعاب الرياضية صباح أمس، حيث قال نجم ليفربول السابق: “أعتقد أنني لم أرغب في أن يحقق ليفربول الفوز في مباراة أكثر من مباراة الليلة، نادينا العظيم هيا!”.

وفي هذا الصدد، سأل ريتشاردز، كاراجر: “لماذا تتصرف بتلك التفاهة يا جيمي؟ ما الخطب؟ لماذا تتدخل في هذا؟”، ليرد الآخر: “لم أكن أرد على ذلك بالمناسبة، لقد قمت بالرد على منشور شخص آخر، الأشخاص الذين أعمل معهم عبر التلفزيون البريطاني”.

وسُئل كاراجر عن مغزى ما قاله، ليرد: “أنا متشوق جدًا لفوز ليفربول اليوم (تصريحاته في الاستوديو قبيل اللقاء)، من أجل المدرب، أنا مثل محمد صلاح، لا تربطني أي علاقة بالمدرب، لا أعرفه جيدًا، كنني أعتقد أن ما حدث هناك وكيف تحدث عن المدرب، يجعلني متشوقًا جدًا لفوزه الليلة، من أجله فقط”.

وأكد: “وأيضًا من أجل المشجعين الذين ذهبوا إلى هناك، وهم ليسوا من مشجعي محمد صلاح، وليسوا من مشجعي جيمي كاراجر، أنتم تشجعون ليفربول، أيًا كان المدرب، أيًا كان من أنت، أنتم تدعمون النادي فحسب، أريد فقط أن يفوزوا جميعًا، لأنه كما ذكرت، كان هناك تركيز كبير على ما قاله محمد صلاح، لكن على المدرب الإجابة على الأسئلة في المؤتمر الصحفي باستمرار”.

واستأنف: “أليسون بيكر، الذي أظهر قيادة رائعة، أعتقد، الليلة الماضية أيضًا في المؤتمر الصحفي، سُئل عن زميله محمد صلاح وتصريحاته، يريد الدفاع عنه وعن النادي والمدرب أيضًا، لذلك لم يكن موقفًا سهلاً عليه”.

واستدرك: “لقد قلت رأيي في الأمر الليلة الماضية (تصريحات قوية ضد محمد صلاح مساء الإثنين)، ولا أريد إعادة الحديث عنه، لكنني شعرت بالإحباط بعض الشيء عندما رأيت ذلك المنشور اليوم، لم يذكر ليفربول ومباراة الليلة، يخوض ليفربول مباراة مهمة اليوم في سان سيرو، ويحتاجون إلى تحقيق نتيجة جيدة نظرًا لنتيجة مباراتهم السابقة، عندما كان محمد صلاح يلعب، ضد آيندهوفن”.

واختتم: “لذلك كان من الممكن أن يكتب تعليقًا مثل (بالتوفيق للاعبين الليلة)، ربما لم يكن يقصد ذلك، لا أعلم، لكن ليفربول لديه مباراة مهمة الليلة، وهو ينشر منشورًا كهذا على وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي”.

The Cubs became the third MLB team to clinch a playoff spot this season after beating the Pirates 8–4 in Pittsburgh on Wednesday.

The Chicago squad all partook in a champagne spraying celebration after the win, which marks their first postseason appearance since 2020. For a lot of the Cubs players, this will be their first career trip to the playoffs.

One Cubs player who has yet to make the playoffs in his career is All-Star pitcher Justin Steele. Unfortunately, Steele has been out since early April as he underwent reconstructive elbow surgery that put him out for the remainder of the season. He was watching the game from home on Wednesday and made sure to send a message of congratulations to his teammates.

"Just sitting here smiling at my TV," Steele wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Steele will easily be one of the Cubs' biggest supporters this postseason, even if he has to watch his team on television instead of joining them on the field. Hopefully he'll be back next season and can lead the Cubs to a second consecutive playoff run.

On Tuesday, Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber joined a special club by hitting his 50th home run of the 2025 season. In a 9–3 win over the Mets, Schwarber became just the second Phillies player ever to record 50 homers in a season, and the 34th MLB player all-time to do so.

Schwarber joins Ryan Howard as the only Phillies players to hit 50 home runs in a season. Howard hit 58 in 2006, meaning that Schwarber is nine away from breaking the franchise record. Schwarber currently leads the National League in home runs, and only trails Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh, who leads MLB with 53 home runs on the season.

"It's cool," Schwarber told reporters after the win. "Get the nice, round even number. It's cool the stat of how many people have done it before in the game. It's something that you don't take lightly. I've alwasy said all the personal accolades and everything like that will probably mean more whenever it's all said and done. I feel like we've got so much more baseball here and we've got a group of guys we feel like can make a deep run. That's what we want to do. It's a cool moment, obviously I want to enjoy it, there's a lot more baseball to be played."

While Schwarber is currently more focused on his team than individual accomplishments, his success has helped the Phillies garner a 9-game lead over the Mets in the National League East. Thanks in part to 50 "Schwar-bombs" this year, Philadelphia is 85-60 on the season so far, and they only trail the Brewers for the best record in MLB.

Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. was left out of the starting lineup for Game 1 of their wild-card series against the Red Sox, which New York lost 3–1. Manager Aaron Boone chose to instead play Amed Rosario, leaving Chisholm to only substitute in on defense late in the game and take one at-bat.

Chisholm did get the nod to return to the lineup on Wednesday in Game 2 of the series and he came up clutch as he scored the winning run on a hit from Austin Wells. The Yankees won 4–3, and the wild-card series will now extend to a third game.

After the win, Chisholm was asked how he dealt with the disappointment from the night before. He simply replied, “I played and I mercy-ruled someone. That's how I get my stress off."

Chisholm shared that his team is named "New York Aliens" and features him and Ken Griffey Jr. in his lineup. He won 12–1.

Chisholm also clarified after the game that all is good between and Boone after he was left out of the Game 1 lineup.

"There was never a problem between me and Aaron Boone," he said. "He's been my manager all year and I've stood behind him all year. We always have disagreements. I played third base this year and we had a little bit of a disagreement in that, but at the end of the day, I always stand with Boonie because he always understands where I come from. He knows I'm a passionate player and he knows I wear my feelings on my sleeve. He knows that I'm here to compete."

Boone has confirmed that Chisholm will be in the starting lineup for Game 3 of their wild-card series, which takes place on Thursday.

PHILADELPHIA — In their meeting before Game 1 of the National League division series, Dodgers hitting coach Aaron Bates gave his players some advice: At some point, something will happen to make the 45,000 red-clad phanatics in Citizens Bank Park go nuts. Instead of letting the noise get to them, the Dodgers should just focus on silencing the crowd. 

As it turned out, two games into this series, the Phillies’ bats have done that all by themselves. They staged a ninth-inning comeback attempt but still fell short, 4–3, in Game 2 to bring themselves one loss from winter. 

Indeed, until that ultimately unsuccessful rally, the loudest sound of the night was the response as the Phillies’ stadium experience staff insisted on turning off the lights, turning up the music and playing closer Jhoan Duran’s flame- and spider-themed graphics as he entered a game his team was losing by three: a chorus of boos. (The opprobrium only increased once the game was over: One caller on WIP 94.1 suggested that an appropriate punishment for DH Kyle Schwarber would be to ban him from Wawa.)

It was hard to blame the fans. The starting pitching has been as good as the Phillies could have hoped for after ace Zack Wheeler was diagnosed with first a blood clot and then venous thoracic outlet syndrome in August. Cristopher Sánchez, the NL WAR leader with 8.0, allowed two runs through 5 ⅔ innings in Game 1; Jesús Luzardo allowed two in six-plus in Game 2. And outside of one Matt Strahm four-seamer that caught enough of the plate for Teoscar Hernández to hammer it for a three-run homer, the relievers have largely generated the strikeouts and weak contact they sought. 

But the offense—especially the $709 million top three in the order—has not resembled the lineup that slugged .431 this year, fourth in the sport. Through the first two games, shortstop Trea Turner, Schwarber and first baseman Bryce Harper have combined for two singles, four walks and 11 strikeouts in 25 plate appearances. The only extra-base hits have come from catcher J.T. Realmuto (a triple in Game 1 and a double in Game 2), part-time right fielder Max Kepler (a double in Game 1 and a triple in Game 2) and Nick Castellanos, the other half of the right field platoon (a double in Game 2). As a team the Phillies have a .601 OPS this series. They are the only team still in the tournament that has not yet hit a home run.
