Brazil's U-15 Men's National Team drew 0-0 with Ecuador in the second round of the 2026 CONMEBOL Liga Evolución, on Thursday morning (10), at Parque Guasu, in Luque, Paraguay. The result kept Brazil at the top of the North Zone group. In the other match in this group, Venezuela and Colombia drew 1-1.
Brazil was the better side, created scoring chances, gave the opposition almost no room to attack, but struggled against Ecuador's tight marking. In the first half, they had two good chances from free kicks, both saved by the opposing goalkeeper.
In the second half, the Canarinho improved and pinned Ecuador back in its own half, creating a string of chances. In the 37th minute, Isaac won a penalty as he broke free into the box. Kelwin took the spot kick, but it was saved by Ecuador's goalkeeper, the standout player of the match.
Brazil's next match will be on Saturday (12), against Venezuela, at 8:40 a.m. (Brasília time)

Wearing the No. 11 shirt, he controlled the play with his head, already getting past the Colombian defender. He then burst forward at speed until he was one-on-one with the opposing goalkeeper and finished into the corner to seal the final score.
The result put Brazil at the top of the North Zone group. In the other match in the group, Venezuela and Peru drew 4-4.

FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem is optimistic that Argentina could return to the World Rally Championship calendar in the near future.
The South American nation has a rich history in the WRC, featuring regularly on the calendar from 1980 to 2019 with only 1995 and 2010 being its only absentees from the series.
COVID-19 ultimately dropped it off the calendar and when the WRC returned to the continent in 2023 with a round in Chile, the championship has remained in South America ever since.
Last year it even added a second South American round with Paraguay signing an initial three year deal and the event is located near to the Argentina border in Encarnacion.
Paraguay held its second edition last weekend and has proved to be a popular addition as it won the 'best rally of the year award' for 2025 and Motorsport.com understands that both events are involved in discussions to renew their contracts.

CBF president Samir Xaud visited Pedro Pedrossian Stadium, known as Morenão, in Campo Grande on the morning of this Wednesday (2), on the eve of the inauguration of the Football Development Center of the State of Mato Grosso do Sul. Opened in 1971 and with a capacity of more than 40,000 fans, the main stage of football in Mato Grosso do Sul is receiving an investment of around R$ 1 million from the CBF to revitalize the pitch.
Xaud was accompanied by the president of the Mato Grosso do Sul Football Federation (FFMS), Estevâo Petrallás, who presented the stadium's history and detailed the progress of the work, as well as the president of the Mato Grosso Football Federation (FMF), Diogo Pécora, and the State Secretary of Tourism, Sports and Culture (Setesc), Alessandro Menezes.

In an interview with CBF TV, the CBF president commented on the importance of the institutional agenda in Mato Grosso do Sul and praised the history and renovation work at Morenão. The stadium has also hosted Brazil national team matches: a 1-1 draw with Paraguay on February 27, 1991, in a friendly; and a goalless draw with Venezuela on October 14, 2009, in the qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup.
"Today we began our institutional visit to Mato Grosso do Sul, continuing our work toward more participatory management and closer ties with the federations. We are here at Morenão, a stadium with a history shared by the entire state population, and where the CBF has provided funds to help revitalize the stadium, including replacing the pitch, irrigation and drainage. For us, it is another joy to work to help Brazilian football as a whole and the smaller federations," he said.

Most people celebrate their 40th birthday with a slap-up meal or a surprise party.
Gael Monfils, the maverick Frenchman who always knows how to have fun on the court, marked his milestone by winning a Grand Slam match at the US Open.
Playing in the final major of his career, Monfils ensured he had a unforgettable night with a 2-6 6-1 6-2 6-0 victory over Paraguayan opponent Adolfo Daniel Vallejo.
The former world number six is the oldest man to win a US Open main-draw match since Jimmy Connors - who also won on his 40th birthday in 1992.
The New York crowd made the occasion even more memorable for Monfils by bursting into an impromptu rendition of 'Happy Birthday' during his post-victory interview.

According to MARCA, Real Madrid veteran defender Antonio Rudiger has a strong chance of starting later today when the team take on Malaga at the Santiago Bernabeu.
After Germany were eliminated in the first knockout round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on penalties against Paraguay, the senior centre-back went on holiday early. That allowed him to be involved in Mourinho's plans from the very beginning.
Yet, with the third league matchday approaching, he remains the only fit first-team outfield player, aside from the seven injured players, who has yet to feature.
Aware of the importance of making a strong start, the Portuguese tactician has wanted the centre of his defence to be a position of strength.
As a result, Ibrahima Konate and Dean Huijsen started both the matches against RCD Espanyol and Real Sociedad.

It already feels like quite some time ago, and yet it also still feels like it was only just a few weeks ago that Germany yet again floundered out of the World Cup far earlier than they should have. In Foxborough, Massachusetts, they fell to Paraguay in a penalty shootout after failing to get the job done in 90 minutes, but the writing was on the wall as they collectively failed to hit their heights throughout the entire tournament — starting off the group stages with a 7-1 trouncing of Curaçao in Houston, Texas probably didn't do wonders for keeping them on their toes.
Too many players underperformed, mid-match management calls and tactical changes might not have been right, but what's done is done and Germany can now ride a wave of anticipation and excitement into Jürgen Klopp's reign as Die Mannschaft manager, as the former Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund and Mainz man took over for Julian Nagelsmann. The DFB more or less strongly urged Nagelsmann to resign after the World Cup, but was he really to blame for everything that went wrong for Germany, or was he just the easiest scapegoat to point at? For former/honorary Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeneß, the problems with the team extended well beyond Nagelsmann.
"I think our team's performance was an absolute disaster. It was a disgrace for our country. But there are various reasons for that. Enough has already been said about Julian Nagelsmann. I don't think he is solely to blame. We don't have a team of outstanding quality, but you can still have a good World Cup. Argentina proved that. They don't have a good team, but they threw everything into it like crazy. That's what I felt was missing from our team," Hoeneß recently stressed to RTL / Sky Germany (via iMiaSanMia).
Of course, Argentina made it to the final in East Rutherford, New Jersey where they lost to Spain, but a great portion of their campaign was a massive topic of discussions for the way in which they were given a plethora of favorable calls in different matches and getting away with blatant, persistent fouling.
That's not to say that the Argentine squad doesn't possess the grit, fight, and tenacity within the laws of the game that routinely gets them to the latter stages of World Cups, but there certainly questions raised; why didn't Lionel Messi get a red vs. Saudi Arabia, why was Egypt's 3rd goal disallowed, why didn't anyone get booked early on vs. England? All legitimate questions asked, but for Hoeneß, he doesn't see that type of fight from Germany that Argentina almost always displays.

Brazil's Under-15 National Team defeated Uruguay 7-0 this Saturday (22) at Granja Comary, in Teresópolis (RJ), in the team's final friendly before the Liga Evolução tournament, which will take place in September in Paraguay. Brener, Kelwin, Lucas Jorge, Isaac, Samuell and Gabriel Bueno (2) scored for the young Seleção. On Wednesday (19), Brazil and Uruguay also faced each other at the same venue, with the Brazilian side winning 4-0.
Head coach Guilherme Dalla Déa fielded a very different lineup from the one that played on Wednesday. He wanted to make new observations and clear up any possible doubts ahead of Tuesday's call-up (25), when he will announce the list of 20 players who will represent Brazil in Liga Evolução.
With another standout performance, Brazil opened the scoring in the 8th minute through Brener, who headed home after an **** ist from Diego Bento. Despite Uruguay's tight marking, Dalla Déa's players moved the ball quickly, were sharp in their movement, and used dribbles to open up plays, constantly threatening the opposition defense.

Wimbledon finalist Alexander Zverev reached the last 16 of the Cincinnati Open with a 7-6 (7-4), 7-6 (8-6) victory over France's Terence Atmane on Monday.
The top seed will next face either American Tommy Paul or Paraguay's Adolfo Vallejo.
Atmane made the much better start, racing into a 3-0 lead before Zverev won his first game and began to find his rhythm.
The Frenchman twice moved back in front at 4-3 and 5-4 after Zverev had levelled, but the German took control in the tie-break to claim the opening set.
Zverev then saved an early break point in the second set and looked more comfortable, but was unable to force a break of his own and had to settle the match in another tie-break.

Germany great Lothar Matthäus advised former national team coach Julian Nagelsmann to look for a new job abroad following a disappointing participation at the recent World Cup.
"I don't think Nagelsmann will land a top job in Germany anytime soon. He's under greater scrutiny here than he would be abroad," he wrote in his column for broadcaster Sky on Monday.
Matthäus emphasized: "No one wants to hurt him personally. But in the recent past, he's reacted too sensitively to criticism and has sometimes been very offended.
"In professional football, criticism arises when the results aren't there or when the team isn't playing attractive football. With Julian, both were the case."
Nagelsmann agreed to step down from his coaching job at the Germany national team after they were eliminated by Paraguay in the round of 32 of the World Cup. Former Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund boss Jürgen Klopp was signed as a replacement.

Whilst Bianconeri coach Luciano Spalletti is desperate to seize a new central midfielder to bring equilibrium to the core of the pitch, Juventus have now set their sights emerging candidate Matias Galazara of River Plate.
TuttoJuve reports that other than Franck Kessie and Tijjani Reijnders, the Turin based club have been monitoring the 22-year-old Paraguayan midfielder throughout the Fifa 2026 World Cup and are reportedly keeping their tabs open in regards to a potential swoop.
As it stands, the Italian tactician is eager to acquire a midfielder that is capable of organizing the attack, dictating the rhythm in possession and constructing the play whilst moving vertically. Hence, the Old Lady believe that the promising River Plate star fits the criteria and believe that a fee of €6m would be enough to persuade the Argentine outfits in permitting Galazara to depart the club in favour of joining the Italian giants.

Juventus keep searching for the best possible solution between the sticks and are weighing some new ones. For instance, PSG could acquire Zion Suzuki from Parma and then loan him out to them for one season, they don't plan to make him an immediate starter, Fabrizio Romano reports (via SOSFanta).
The Ducali have rejected a couple of offers north of €30M. The UEFA Champions League champions are readying a potentially decisive rise. They won't arrive to €45/50M, but they are confident they will be able to strike a deal.
PSG and Juventus touched on the possibility of Suzuki moving to Turin temporarily to continue playing regularly during the Randal Kolo Muani talks. The goalkeeper isn't too enthused by the prospect of riding the bench. The decision is up to the Bianconeri.
Other than Guglielmo Vicario, the Old Lady has earmarked World Cup standout Orlando Gill. He plays at San Lorenzo and has a €8.6M release clause, TuttoSport informs. While he shone for Paraguay, he's emerged onto the scene relatively recently, and it'd be his first stint in Europe. Moreover, they have been offered Ederson from Jorge Mendes, TRT Spor informs (via MSN). The former Manchester City star could depart Fenerbahce due to some issues with the club.
While they have been fixated on a decorated goalie, they are actually well-positioned to roll the dice with a touted prospect, if he's not too pricey, as Mattia Perin is a rock-solid backup. They are surely making everything possible to make Vicario feel unwanted. A patch like adding him or Suzuki on loan wouldn't jibe with their great history at the position. Only going all-out for a top-shelf goalie next year would offset that.

Gio Reyna has a new home.
The United States international has spent most of his career in Germany, surging onto the scene as a Borussia Dortmund prospect and most recently suiting up for Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Now, he is headed for France, joining RC Strasbourg on a contract that will take him through the 2031 season.
While still only 23, Reyna has appeared in each of the last two World Cup tournaments for the United States – though his lack of minutes in the 2022 tournament became a controversial moment after conversations between Reyna's parents – former U.S. internationals Claudio and Danielle Reyna – and then-U.S. manager Gregg Berhalter were made public.
Reyna was included on Mauricio Pochettino's roster for the 2026 tournament and was able to make the mildly surprising decision pay off, scoring with the outside of his foot to put the cherry on top of the United States' 4-1 win over Paraguay in the opening match.

#states #germany

Mauricio Pochettino has agreed a new four-year contract as head coach of the United States men's team.
The former Tottenham and Chelsea boss has been in charge of the US since September 2024 and led the side to the last 16 at the recent World Cup on home soil.
Pochettino said on ussoccer.com: "Working together with US Soccer over the past two years, it has become clear to us that there is tremendous potential to make the men's national team programme even stronger.
"The passion we experienced from the fans throughout the World Cup only strengthened our belief in what is possible here."
The US began the World Cup impressively with victories over Paraguay and Australia but their performances were overshadowed by the furore surrounding Folarin Balogun's red card and subsequent suspended ban, while their campaign ended in hugely disappointing fashion when they were beaten 4-1 by Belgium.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup was a rousing success, but it wasn't perfect. One standout hiccup was the final venue: New York/New Jersey Stadium, aka MetLife, which simply wasn't up to the standards of the world's biggest sporting match.
We've only just managed to catch our breath after a spine-tingling 2026 FIFA World Cup, and yet, the focus is already shifting towards the 2030 edition.
Like 2026, there will be three official host nations in Morocco, Spain, and Portugal, but to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the tournament, the first three matches will take place in Uruguay, Paraguay, and Argentina — making this the first World Cup to feature across six countries and three continents.
But four years out from the competition, there is plenty still up in the air. It's uncertain how many teams will participate, and the final venue is still yet to be determined.
While Spain is confident of securing the rights to the final after the Santiago Bernabéu's €1.35 billion renovation, don't count Morocco out. The Hassan II Stadium is currently under construction just outside of Casablanca, and with a planned capacity of 115,000, it would be the biggest football stadium in the world upon completion.

United States men's national team star Gio Reyna has been linked with another transfer after the World Cup.
Reyna has already played for Borussia Dortmund, Nottingham Forest and Borussia Monchengladbach in the last three seasons.
He struggled with injuries throughout the 2025/26 campaign and made just 19 Bundesliga appearances, scoring one goal.
Reyna had a slightly more impactful World Cup with the United States, scoring in their 4-1 victory over Paraguay.
The 23-year-old is now wanted by Ligue 1 club Strasbourg, who are owned by the same consortium as Chelsea (BlueCo).

Ipswich Town are reportedly interested in RC Strasbourg Alsace player Julio Enciso (22), according to information from Sky Sports.
Having previously played for the Tractor Boys, where he was on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion during the second half of the 2024–25 season (13 matches, two goals, three **** ists), the Paraguayan could now make a return to Portman Road, where Gary O'Neil, recently appointed as manager, is keen to secure his services after working alongside him in Alsace.
Since arriving in France last summer, Enciso has put in solid performances for Strasbourg, making 42 appearances and proving decisive on 21 occasions (12 goals, nine **** ists) across all competitions.
Also part of Paraguay's World Cup squad, the Caaguazú-born player played a major part in his national team's impressive run to the round of 16, notably helping to knock Germany out of the competition.
Under contract with RCSA until 2030, Enciso is currently valued at €25m by the specialist website Transfermarkt.

Jürgen Klopp has been handed advice on how his Germany side should set up, just days after accepting the role and threatening to walk away. The former Liverpool manager was the first name the German football federation (DFB) approached after Julian Nagelsmann stepped down following a disappointing FIFA World Cup that ended with a penalty shoot-out defeat to Paraguay in the Round of 32.
Klopp faces a considerable challenge, given it's been 10 years since the national team claimed victory in a knockout-round fixture at a major tournament. As Reds supporters will attest, Klopp operates on his own terms and won't tolerate any external meddling.
Nevertheless, that hasn't prevented German soccer icon and DFB sporting director Rudi Völler from offering Klopp his thoughts on how the team should operate. He believes Klopp's team should take their cues from world champions Spain, rather than runners-up Argentina, who have attracted widespread condemnation for their behavior in the Final, which saw them deploy cynical tactics before instigating a post-match confrontation, as per The Liverpool Echo.

Germany have appointed Jürgen Klopp as their new head coach, with the former Liverpool boss signing a four-year contract that will keep him in charge until the 2030 World Cup.
The 59-year-old replaces Julian Nagelsmann, who stepped down following Germany's disappointing last-32 exit to Paraguay on penalties at the 2026 World Cup. Klopp's first match in charge will come against the Netherlands on 24 September.
It marks Klopp's return to management after leaving Liverpool in 2024, having spent the past year as Red Bull's Head of Global Soccer. The German Football **** ociation reached an agreement with Red Bull to secure his release, including a €1 million donation to the company's Wings for Life foundation and a commitment to stage three Germany internationals in Leipzig by 2030.
Klopp now faces the task of rebuilding Germany's fortunes after another major tournament disappointment, with his focus turning to Euro 2028 before leading his country into the 2030 World Cup.

#paraguay

Jürgen Klopp has signed a deal until 2030 to become Germany coach and told a news conference on Friday he was "delighted" - but warned the press he would quit if they "misbehave."
The former Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool boss was the DFB's immediate first choice to succeed Julian Nagelsmann, who resigned following the World Cup last-32 exit to Paraguay in June.
Klopp has been global head of soccer at the sports arm of drinks maker Red Bull but will now lead Germany into the Nations League, qualifying for Euro 2028 in the British Isles and qualifiers for the 2030 World Cup. His contract will begin on August 15.
"It is a big honour to sit here," Klopp said in Frankfurt. "I had an idea how big the job is but when you are involved, you feel the responsibility even more. It is a very special day for me."
His first match in charge will be against the Netherlands in Amsterdam on September 24 in Germany's opening Nations League fixture.

He was once hailed as Liverpool's footballing messiah. Now Jurgen Klopp has been asked to work miracles for his country.
Last month, Klopp watched on as a touchline TV pundit as Germany went out of the World Cup in a shock penalty shootout defeat by Paraguay.
The loss led head coach Julian Nagelsmann to resign and plunged German football into a full-scale identity crisis.
Just three weeks later, it is Klopp who has been tasked with picking up the pieces and restoring his country's once-famous winning mentality, signing a four-year deal to become head coach.
Assigned with leading the team through Euro 2028 and the 2030 World Cup, Klopp's first game in charge will be against the Netherlands on 24 September.

Why did Jurgen Klopp leave Liverpool? How new Germany coach felt burned out by Reds success originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Jurgen Klopp will be returning to the dugout for the first time since his departure from Liverpool in 2024, as the 59-year-old has been hired to lead the German national team through the 2030 World Cup cycle.
With Germany crashing out of the 2026 World Cup in the Round of 32, falling on penalties to Paraguay, the DFB moved on from head coach Julian Nagelsmann.
They managed to convince Klopp to come out of semi-retirement, as the former Liverpool boss had been at the helm of Red Bull's global football operations since his Anfield exit.
With Klopp set to lead his home country of Germany in his first international appointment, it's worth a look back at what drove him to leave Liverpool, where he had coached his way into club history.
