Joe Root has hailed Harry Brook as “far and away the best player in the world” after Brook powered England to their first series victory in New Zealand since 2008.Both Root and Brook registered centuries in an emphatic 323-run win in the second Test against the Black Caps that confirmed an unassailable 2-0 scoreline after just three days at the Basin Reserve. It was their 35th and eighth hundreds respectively, with Brook’s 123 in tough first-innings conditions earning him the player-of-the-match award.Brooks’ opening-day effort, reaching three figures in 91 deliveries (the second-fastest of his career), came in challenging conditions, dragging England to 280 inside just 54.5 overs, having at one stage been 26 for 3. The tourists were then able to dismiss New Zealand for 125, establishing a 155-run lead that Root’s 106 would eventually lift to a mammoth 582. In reply, New Zealand could only muster 259 in just 54.2 overs.Last week, Brook moved up to No.2 on the ICC Test rankings off the back of his 171 in the first Test at Christchurch, which set up an eight-wicket win. Root sits at No.1, but England’s all-time leading run-scorer believes his Yorkshire and England team-mate is currently at the top of the modern game.”Brooky is by far and away the best player in the world at the minute,” Root said, off the back of Brook’s exploits in New Zealand.”He can absorb pressure, he can apply it. He can whack you over your head for six. He can scoop you over his head for six. He can smack spin. He can smack seam.”He’s so hard to bowl to and dovetailed with someone like Pope [174 for the fifth wicket in the first innings], who’s extremely busy and scoring in awkward areas, [which] makes it very difficult to stop the flow of runs. I think they just played exceptionally well together.”Related

Brook returned the compliment to Root, who has a chance to beat his previous calendar-year best of six centuries (2021) in this Saturday’s third and final Test at Hamilton.”I’m trying to catch him, but he’s too good, isn’t he?” Brook said, when asked if he fancied taking the No. 1 tag off Root. “[He] got another hundred this week. No, he’s obviously one of the best players, if not the best player, to have ever played the game.”Though only two years into his Test career, Brook’s average of 61.62 from 23 Tests is currently third on the all-time list. Having become England’s first triple-centurion in 34 years with 317 against Pakistan, his work in New Zealand over the last two weeks has moved his average away from home to a remarkable 89.35, though he has only played in those two countries.Brook, however, insists on keeping his feet on the ground and believes he has more work to do to improve all aspects of his game.”I’ve only played 23 games, so them stats could soon come soaring down!” he said. “So I’m just trying to keep on getting as good as I can and working hard in the nets and improving areas that are uncomfortable. Just keep on going really. You can always get better everywhere.”Meanwhile, Root has been announced on the shortlist for BBC Sports Personality of the Year. The award, to be judged by the public on who they regard as most accomplished sportsperson in 2024, has only been won by a cricketer on five occasions. Ben Stokes was the most recent, in 2019, while Stuart Board finished runner-up last year.”I didn’t expect that at all, really,” Root said of Monday’s announcement. “I guess I’m honored to be involved in it. You know, it’s been a wonderful year of sports so to even be considered is is pretty humbling, to be honest.”I wasn’t expecting at all, but it’s something I’ve watched as a kid growing up. I don’t really know how to sum it up.”England will meet up in Hamilton on Wednesday ahead of the third Test. A number of players left Wellington on Monday to explore New Zealand’s North Island and will travel separately to the inland city.

Vasco é o time que menos finaliza no Brasileirão 2023

MatériaMais Notícias

Após um bom início de Campeonato Brasileiro, vencendo o Atlético Mineiro fora de casa e empatando com o Palmeiras no Maracanã – os dois últimos campeões nacionais -, o Vasco vem acumulando uma sequência ruim de resultados. Já são quatro jogos sem vencer, com três empates e uma derrota. Contra o Coritiba, nesta quinta-feira, no 1 a 1 no Couto Pereira, o time voltou a mostrar um de suas principais deficiências: o ataque.

O Coxa abriu o placar no fim do 1º tempo e obrigou a equipe do técnico Maurício Barbieri a sair mais para o jogo em busca do empate. Porém, apesar dos 62,4% de posse de bola na etapa final, o Cruz-Maltino finalizou apenas quatro vezes, sendo somente uma em gol, exatamente a de Erick Marcus, que definiu a igualdade no marcador.

A falta de criatividade do time e de eficiência do seu ataque tem se refletido também nos números. O Vasco é a equipe que menos finalizou até agora no Brasileirão. Passadas cinco rodadas, foram apenas 45 arremates, sendo somente 15 na direção certa. Com seis gols marcados – apenas dois nas últimas três partidas -, tem a sétima pior marca até o momento.

Na temporada, as estatísticas também não são favoráveis. Com 33 bolas na rede em 20 jogos, os vascaínos têm o quinto pior volume entre os 20 clubes da Séria. Apenas o Corinthians, com 31, o Santos, com 29, o Coritiba, com 24, e o Cruzeiro, com 21, tiveram um desempenho pior nesta primeira metade da temporada.

Tottenham "could be close" to signing £208k-a-week star as Eze blow softened

Tottenham are set to be very active in this final stretch of the window, and we can expect talks for attacking targets to intensify quickly after they were robbed of a deal for Eberechi Eze by north London rivals Arsenal.

The Lilywhites thought they were closing in on Eze, then Arsenal moved, and everything changed.

Spurs were deep in talks with Crystal Palace, seemingly on the brink of agreeing a deal for their star number 10.

However, Arsenal reignited their long-standing interest almost immediately after losing Kai Havertz to injury – seizing the initiative and agreeing a deal worth £60 million upfront, plus £7.5 million in add-ons.

Despite Tottenham agreeing both personal terms and a deal in principle with Palace, the final decision rested with Eze, and he chose a move to the Emirates.

The 27-year-old grew up a Gunners fan, trained in their academy as a youth, and Mikel Arteta’s side needed fresh attacking flair amid Havertz’s fresh knee problem. Arsenal have been targeting Eze all summer, but Havertz inadvertently pushed them into action whilst breaking Spurs’ hearts in the process.

Now Spurs are left scrambling for different options to plug the creative voids left in their squad – made worse by Son Heung-min’s departure and James Maddison’s long-term ACL injury.

In just a few hours, the tag-team of Arteta and sporting director Andrea Berta snatched the deal from under Daniel Levy’s nose. From nearly finalized by Tottenham to firmly Arsenal’s – this one will sting in N17 for some time.

Levy and Thomas Frank will be desperate to put the saga behind them whilst making a serious statement of intent, and they’ve been linked with a few intriguing attacking options in the aftermath of their botched Eze deal.

Tottenham are still trying to loosen Man City’s grip on Savinho, but another option is still there in the form of Real Madrid star Rodrygo.

Tottenham could be close to agreeing loan deal for Rodrygo

According to Defensa Central, the Brazilian is not in Xabi Alonso’s plans, and his pool of suitors is running thin.

As things stand, Spurs are the most realistic destination for him, and their eagerness to offload him has resulted in Bernabeu chiefs softening their stance when it comes to his £86 million price tag.

So much so, in fact, that Real are now prepared to green-light an initial loan for Rodrygo, something that is enticing Tottenham as Levy maintains an interest in the 24-year-old.

As per Defensa, this means that Tottenham “could be close” to reaching an agreement for Rodrygo, as they’re also ready to cover the player’s entire £208,000-per-week salary.

The only roadblock is apparently whether Levy will agree to include a buy-option/obligation, as Florentino Perez would ideally like his price tag paid in full, but could be forced to wait until 2026.

Rodrygo, for his part, has decided to leave Real in pursuit of more game time, and while not explicitly stated, the prospect of a Premier League move could well tempt him.

Called a “superstar” by Luka Modrić, Rodrygo bagged 14 goals and 11 assists in all competitions for Los Blancos last term.

ستوريدج عن أداء محمد صلاح أمام تشيلسي: لست قلقًا.. وهذا ما يفتقده في ليفربول

منذ انضمامه إلى ليفربول عام 2017، فقد اعتمد مشجعو ليفربول باستمرارية على حتمية تسجيل محمد صلاح للأهداف، بالصورة التي جعلته يتوج هدافًا للدوري الإنجليزي أكثر من مرة خلال مواسمه الثمانية مع الريدز.

وكان من المتوقع أن يواصل صلاح تألقه، بعد أن قدم أفضل أداء الموسم الماضي، ولكن بعد 10 مباريات من الموسم الجديد فقد ظهر على اللاعب علامات الإرهاق.

وقد كانت هزيمة ليفربول أمام تشيلسي هي الأخيرة في أحدث العروض السيئة التي قدمها صلاح هذا الموسم، لكنه لم يكن الوحيد الذي ابتعد عن مستواه ويبدو صاحب القميص رقم 11 الآن ظلاً لما كان عليه في السابق.

وبدأ مشجعو ليفربول يشعرون بالقلق من تدهور أداء صلاح بشكل دائم، وتحدث زميله السابق دانييل ستوريدج ودافع عنه وضد من يقولون إنه قد انتهى تمامًا.

وقال ستوريدج في تصريحات لـ”سكاي سبورت”: “لست قلقاً، أعتقد أنه يحاول فهم كيفية اللعب مع مهاجمين أكفاء واستغلال فرصه”.

وأضاف: “لقد تراجع مستواه من حيث الإحصائيات ومستوى الأداء الذي اعتدنا عليه، لكنني أعتقد أنه يحاول فهم كيفية اللعب مع هذين المهاجمين (إيزاك وإيكتيكي)”.

واختتم مهاجم ليفربول وتشيلسي السابق: “لقد عمل بفعالية مع لويس دياز الذي لم يكن مهاجمًا صريحًا، وكان جوتا لاعبًا رائعًا، لكنه لم يكن مهاجمًا صريحًا، لعب على الأطراف مع وولفرهامبتون أحياناً وكذلك بوبي فيرمينيو، والآن كما ترى فهو يعمل مع مهاجمين حقيقيين، المساحة محدودة والفرق تلعب في عمق الملعب”.

If Australia lose 1-0, they will drop to 53.51, and Sri Lanka will finish with 48.72 (with a 1-0 win).However, if India only manage a draw, they will drop to 51.75 and will be out of the WTC final race.

Australia, also, will certainly finish ahead of Sri Lanka if they go to 3-1 in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Better move than Grealish: Everton open talks to land Premier League star

Everton’s summer transfer window has been defined by a need to strengthen both in attack and defence.

After the addition of Jack Grealish on loan from Manchester City, attention has now turned to shoring up the back line.

The Toffees were caught short in their opening Premier League defeat away at Leeds, with James Garner deputising at left-back in Vitaliy Mykolenko’s absence.

Jarrad Branthwaite’s injury further compounds the situation, leaving manager David Moyes eager to explore options that could reinforce the defensive spine of his team.

To complement a backline that conceded only 44 times last season, the joint fourth-best defensive record in the league, Everton must identify players capable of adding both experience and quality at the back.

Against this backdrop, Everton have begun exploring defensive reinforcements who could address immediate gaps while providing long-term stability.

Everton hold talks over Manchester City defender

According to TEAMtalk, Everton have entered exploratory talks regarding a move for Manchester City defender, Nathan Ake.

Described as an “exceptional guy” by Pep Guardiola, the 30-year-old is being considered as a potential addition to help strengthen a defence that Moyes is keen to build on.

Manchester City's Nathan Ake

Manchester City are reportedly open to selling the player, largely because of the depth of their squad and recent acquisitions in defence, including Rayan Ait Nouri.

Guardiola’s known preference for a smaller squad makes a move more feasible, though any transfer is likely to require a substantial fee, with City valuing the player in the £30-35m range.

Transfer Focus

Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.

While a loan deal with an obligation-to-buy clause could be considered, Everton cannot pursue that route due to rules that prevent them from taking two players on loan from the same club in one window, as they have already signed Grealish.

The defender is reportedly eager for consistent first-team football and is understood to prefer a club competing in European competitions, which could complicate negotiations, especially considering Newcastle hold an interest.

However, Everton are determined to find a solution before the window closes.

What Nathan Ake can bring to Everton

Ake offers versatility because he is capable of playing at both centre-back and left-back and brings extensive Premier League experience.

Since joining City from Bournemouth for £41m in 2020, he has been a reliable squad player, regularly competing with the likes of Ruben Dias, John Stones, Manuel Akanji, and Josko Gvardiol for minutes.

Last season, he featured 29 times in the league, showcasing his composure on the ball and technical reliability.

According to FBref, he ranks in the 99th percentile for pass completion rate at 94.4% and the 95th percentile for progressive passes per 90 minutes, with 6.17 per match.

His progressive carries per 90 also place him in the 90th percentile, highlighting an ability to advance the ball effectively from deep positions.

Despite these attributes, the player is less remarkable in traditional defensive metrics, ranking in the bottom 20 percentiles for tackles, blocks, interceptions, and dribblers tackled.

However, at City, his role has often been more focused on ball progression and positional play than on direct defensive duels, suggesting that under Moyes, who may deploy him with different responsibilities, he could adapt and improve in these areas.

Everton’s acquisition of Grealish on loan from Manchester City has added creativity to the squad, but the limitations of the forward are clear.

At 29, he has struggled with injuries in recent seasons, missing 17 games over the past two campaigns.

In 2023/24, Grealish played just 721 minutes, starting only seven matches and making 13 substitute appearances, per Transfermarkt.

His output last season was modest, with a single goal and one assist, though his quality on the ball and ability to create chances has never been in doubt.

Thomas Tuchel has emphasised that consistent first-team football is vital for Grealish if he has plans to play at the World Cup next year.

By contrast, Ake could provide a more immediate and reliable impact in a key area of need. The contrast between these two summer moves underlines Everton’s evolving priorities.

With the squad already strengthened in attack by the likes of Grealish and Thierno Barry, the remaining requirement is to ensure defensive stability.

Injuries to Branthwaite and Mykolenko have exposed the need for experienced and adaptable players who can seamlessly slot into multiple positions. The City defender’s Premier League experience, technical quality, and leadership make him a more impactful addition relative to the immediate threat posed by injuries.

His presence could allow Moyes to maintain balance across the pitch, protect the defensive line, and build a platform from which the team can attack more confidently.

While City value him at £30-35m, the investment is aligned with the type of secure, experienced reinforcement that Everton require.

In comparison, Grealish’s loan structure provides creative options but comes with limitations on continuity and availability, particularly if injuries recur.

For a manager focused on building a resilient and balanced squad capable of competing across a demanding Premier League season, the addition of a versatile centre-back offers more tangible returns than an attacking loan.

Everton’s interest in the Manchester City defender reflects a pragmatic approach to squad building.

By prioritising defensive reinforcement over additional offensive firepower, Moyes is targeting the most pressing weakness in his side.

The player’s Premier League experience, positional versatility, and technical skill offer a solution that addresses immediate needs while providing scope for adaptation and growth.

He has been one of Everton’s top targets all summer.

ByCallum Kemp Aug 21, 2025

While Grealish brings flair and creativity, it is the defender’s ability to strengthen Everton’s spine that could have the most decisive impact on the club’s 2025/26 campaign.

São Paulo não faz queixa criminal sobre gritos homofóbicos da torcida do Corinthians; arbitragem relata na súmula

MatériaMais Notícias

Durante o segundo tempo do empate em 1 a 1 entre Corinthians e São Paulo, a arbitragem parou o jogo por conta de gritos homofóbicos da torcida corintiana contra os são-paulinos. O Tricolor, no entanto, não fez queixa criminal contra os rivais e a situação será discutida somente no âmbito desportivo. Após a partida, o presidente são-paulino Julio Casares disse que aguardará que as medidas cabíveis sejam tomadas pela Confederação Brasileira de Futebol.

+ Decisivo, Róger Guedes marca e mantém tabu histórico do Corinthians contra o São Paulo na Neo Química Arena

O episódio foi relatado na súmula pelo árbitro Bruno Arleu de Araújo.

– Informo que aos 18 minutos do 2º tempo paralisei a partida por 2 minutos devido gritos homofônicos (seria homofóbicos) da torcida “vamos Corinthians, dessas bichas teremos que ganhar”. Sendo informado no som e no telão do estádio para que os gritos cessassem. Mesmo assim, a torcida continuou gritando efusivamente. E após os gritos cessarem, a partida foi reiniciada. Fato esse comunicado ao delegado da partida e ao chefe do policiamento – escreveu Bruno Arleu.

Essa não é a primeira vez que casos de homofobia são relatados pela arbitragem em um duelo entre Corinthians e São Paulo. No duelo válido pelo Brasileirão do ano passado, o árbitro Wilton Pereira Sampaio destacou no documento que havia sido informado sobre os cantos pela comissão técnica são-paulina e pediu para que o delegado da partida pedisse para que parassem. O sistema de som da Neo Química Arena foi acionado.

Neste fim de semana, a comunicação através do departamento de multimídia do estádio corintiano foi utilizada, ainda no primeiro tempo, mas o pedido não foi atendido pela Fiel, que a cada vez que era solicitada para interromper as canções homofóbicas aumentava o volume.Por conta dos gritos homofóbicos, o Corinthians pode ser enquadrado no artigo 243 – G do Código Brasileiro de Justiça Desportiva que trata sobre ‘praticar ato discriminatório, desdenhoso ou ultrajante, relacionado a preconceito em razão de origem étnica, raça, sexo, cor, idade, condição de pessoa idosa ou portadora de deficiência‘. A pena pode chegar até a perda de pontos (três) e multa de R$ 100 mil.
