Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero is dreaming of glory for Spain at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa after his side beat Germany 1-0 to win Euro 2008, its first major title in over 40 years.
They deserved to win and this is only the beginning. The best is yet to come. We have to go for the World Cup now, he told private Spanish television Cuatro from Vienna, Austria after congratulating the squad.
I am happy, really happy. Its a privilege because I believe I am the first premier of the democratic era who has presided over a title win. My generation had the right to enjoy seeing its national team win a championship like this, he added.
Spain last lifted the European Cup in 1964, when right-wing General Francisco Franco ruled the country with an iro…
Croatia s World Cup exploits at Russia 2018 remain unforgettable for Luka Modric but the veteran midfielder wants to put those memories aside in Qatar.
Modric claimed the Ballon d Or in 2018 after guiding Croatia to the final of FIFA s top tournament, which ended in defeat to France, while winning a third consecutive Champions League with Real Madrid.
The 37-year-old and coach Zlatko Dalic are two familiar faces from the Russian run in an otherwise much-changed squad.
Modric was named Golden Ball winner at the last World Cup, given to the tournament s best player, but wants to put previous success behind him ahead of Wednesday s Group F opener against Morocco.
Definitely, what we ve been through in 2018 in Russia is unforgettable and indelible in my mind…
A Week 4 slate highlighted by Tom Brady’s return to New England is here, but Brady won’t get to share the stage with another returning Patriots legend. Rob Gronkowski is just one of a number of players sidelined this weekend, as the 2021 season puts a month of football behind it.
This week’s NFL Cheat Sheet will give you all the information you need for Sunday, as Covers checks in on NFL Week 4 injuries, weather, consensus picks, and more.

The Super Bowl is in the books and that means it’s NFL Draft season. Besides the Bengals picking an offensive lineman in the first round, there’s a lot up in the air heading into this year’s draft.
For starters, there is no clear-cut No. 1 pick and while there are some high-ceiling quarterbacks like Malik Willis and Matt Corral, there is no Andrew Luck or Joe Burrow to be found in this class.
With limited NFL Draft betting options at this point, version 1.0 of my 2022 NFL Mock Draft will be pretty vanilla. But don’t worry, bets are on the way with NFL Draft odds already on the board.

It appears the weather in Western New York was just a little too “wild” for NFL Wild Card Weekend, forcing the league to postpone Sunday’s showdown between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills to Monday afternoon.
High winds and lake-effect snow in the Orchard Park area quickly became a threat to public safety and state and league officials decided to move the game Saturday afternoon, with Monday’s forecast a little friendlier.
That sent shockwaves through the NFL odds, with sportsbooks having to adjust their numbers — markets that were bet into on the premise that game-day conditions would be extremely disruptive.
That left many bettors, who tried to factor the weather into their handicapping, holding tickets that did…
The Miami Dolphins have to travel cross country without their starting quarterback, which means we could see a heavy workload for the run game.
My Dolphins vs. Seahawks predictions focus squarely on De’Von Achane and his ability to rack up yards out of the backfield.
Find out why in our NFL picks for September 22.
Dolphins vs Seahawks prediction
My best betDe’Von Achane Over 49.5 receiving yards (+333 at BetMGM)
My analysis
With Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, the Miami Dolphins are in a league of their own when it comes to downfield threats. However, visiting Lumen Field on the heels of a quarterback change puts Mike McDaniel in a tough spot.
Can he trust Skylar Thompson to make those deep pl…
Arne Slot is hoping to strike the right balance between chaos and possession ahead of his first Premier League encounter against Ipswich Town on Saturday.
Slot arrived as Jurgen Klopp s successor in June, and a seemingly improbable task has proved to be a seamless transition given their pre-season results.
The Reds won four of their five fixtures ahead of the new campaign, but Slot is still aiming to find the perfect blend just two months into his Anfield tenure.
Style of play has been with my teams where I worked, I think, always the same, Slot said. There are a lot of similarities with Jurgen Klopp, with the way they played in the past, and I m hoping we will see these similarities in the upcoming weeks and months.
We like to have the ball, we don t…
Raheem Sterling has packed a lot into a young career that is going from strength to strength under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.
The 23-year-old penned a bumper new contract with the Premier League champions on Friday, with the extension running through until the end of the 2022-2023 season.
Progress has not always been serene for the former Liverpool youngster, who is no stranger to setbacks and heavy scrutiny.
Here we look through some of the highs and lows experienced to date by one of English football s most exceptional talents.

Coincidentally, following three substitute cameos in the previous season, Sterling made his first Premier League start when Liverpool hosted Manchester City in August 201…
