أعلن زلاتكو داليتش المدرب الذي قاد منتخب كرواتيا إلى نهائي غير مسبوق في كأس العالم 2018 لكرة القدم، تركه منصبه بعد أيام قليلة من الخسارة أمام البرتغال في دور الـ32 من النسخة الأمريكية الشمالية الحالية.
وقال المدرب البالغ 59 عاما في بيان «إنه الوقت المناسب لوضع حد لهذه المغامرة المذهلة، أغادر وقلبي مفعم بالفخر بعدما ساهمت في أكبر إنجازات كرة القدم الكرواتية عبر تاريخها».
بدوره، قال رئيس الاتحاد الكرواتي لكرة القدم ماريان كوستيتش في البيان عينه «سيظل اسم زلاتكو محفورا إلى الأبد بأحرف من ذهب في تاريخ كرة القدم الكرواتية». ومن المرجح أن يخلفه الدولي السابق سلافن بيليتش الذي سبق له تولي هذا المنصب بين عامي 2006 و2012، وفقاً لوسائل إعلام محلية. chickenroadslot.pro

Sydney: Teenage Australian sprint star Gout Gout on Thursday pulled out of next month's under-20 world championships after suffering a serious hamstring injury in training.

The 18-year-old has set the athletics world alight with a series of scorching runs.

He won the 200m at the Australian championships in April in 19.67sec, faster than Usain Bolt at the same age, and made his Diamond League debut last month in Oslo.

Gout chose to skip the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow this month to focus on the under-20 world championships at Eugene in August, but his season has come to an abrupt halt.

"Unfortunately I suffered an injury to my left hamstring last night at training in Brisbane," he said on Instagram.

"I received this morning the MRI report, unfortunately the news is not good and I will not be able to compete in Eugene at the world U20 championships next month."

Gout said the scans revealed a grade three tear, which typically takes months of rehabilitation.

"My focus now will be on my rehab in the coming weeks and months and ensuring I come back in 2027 better and stronger and faster," he said.

Athletics Australia said it would support him in his recovery.

"Gout has had a phenomenal couple of years, and has a long and exciting athletics career ahead of him," a spokesperson said.

"While this will be disappointing for Gout himself as well as his many fans, unfortunately injuries are part of the sport.

"It is important that he takes the time to rehabilitate, recover and return to the track to compete when he is ready."

New York: Justin Bieber has been added to the star-packed lineup of the first-ever World Cup final halftime show as organizers confirmed Wednesday that the entire musical performance will last 11 minutes.

Canadian megastar Bieber joins Madonna, Shakira and K-pop sensation BTS for the Super Bowl-style halftime show on July 19 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Coldplay's Chris Martin is curating the extravaganza, a first for a football World Cup final and one that has raised concerns over how long the game's halftime break will be.

The laws of football allow a halftime interval "not exceeding 15 minutes." Even an 11-minute musical performance could still require the break to be extended, given the time likely required to set up and disassemble the show.

But the announcement will assuage concerns raised by previous speculation that the World Cup final halftime show itself could stretch for as long as 25 minutes.

FIFA chief Gianni Infantino has said the halftime show will be "definitely the biggest stage ever," with "a couple of billion" expected to tune in.

The show, which will also feature characters from "Sesame Street" and "The Muppets," will support FIFA's Global Citizen Education Fund, an initiative working to raise $100 million for children worldwide during the World Cup.

"The FIFA World Cup brings the world together in a way nothing else can," Bieber said in a statement.

"I'm grateful to be part of this halftime show, and even more grateful knowing it's already helping expand access to education for children around the world," added the "Stay" and "Love Yourself" hitmaker.

Also added to the lineup in Wednesday's announcement were Nigerian singer-songwriter Burna Boy and Venezuelan classical conductor Gustavo Dudamel.

Coldplay will feature in a collaboration with PS22 Chorus, an acclaimed choir of students from a New York public elementary school.

"This is the single largest gathering of artists united for a cause since Live Aid, and it could well be the most-watched 11 minutes of broadcast music performance in history," said Hugh Evans, co-founder and CEO of anti-poverty campaign group and concert organizer Global Citizen.

At 11 minutes, the World Cup final halftime show would be slightly shorter than most recent Super Bowl halftime performances, which have typically been around 13-14 minutes long.

A halftime show was trialed at last year's FIFA Club World Cup final, also at MetLife Stadium.

Doha, Qatar: For 78 unforgettable minutes in Houston, Egypt stood on the brink of history.

Two goals ahead against reigning champions Argentina, the Pharaohs were within touching distance of a first-ever FIFA World Cup quarter-final. Then came the response only champions could produce. Lionel Messi inspired a stunning late comeback as Argentina scored three times in the final 13 minutes to snatch a dramatic 3-2 victory, bringing an end to Egypt’s fairytale run in North America.

The defeat was heartbreaking, but it should not overshadow what has been the greatest World Cup campaign in Egypt’s history.

Competing in only their fourth FIFA World Cup after appearances in 1934, 1990 and 2018, Egypt arrived in North America carrying an unwanted record: they had never won a World Cup match. They leave North America having rewritten almost every chapter of their World Cup history.

The seven-time African champions opened their campaign by holding Belgium to a 1-1 draw before recording the nation’s first-ever World Cup victory with a 3-1 win over New Zealand. A 1-1 draw against Iran then secured second place in the group, with the Pharaohs progressing to the knockout rounds unbeaten. It marked a remarkable turnaround from Russia 2018, where they exited after losing all three group-stage matches.

The Round of 32 clash against Australia was another historic moment for Egypt. Making their first appearance in the World Cup knockout rounds, the Pharaohs showed composure as well as character. After a 1-1 draw, they converted all four penalties in the shootout to secure a 4-2 victory, becoming the only team at World Cup 2026 so far to maintain a perfect record from the spot. It also sealed Egypt’s first-ever World Cup knockout victory.

Their reward was a meeting with defending champions Argentina and a showdown between Egypt’s greatest-ever footballer and one of the greatest players the game has ever seen.

Days before the tournament, Mohamed Salah had been asked who he would choose for a “last dance” at the World Cup. Without hesitation, he named Lionel Messi. Fate delivered exactly that.

The embrace between the two captains before kick-off reflected the respect they have shared throughout their careers. For long periods, it was Salah who looked set to enjoy the perfect farewell, inspiring the Pharaohs into a two-goal lead and within minutes of one of the greatest upsets in World Cup history before Argentina’s quality ultimately told.

Whether this proves to be Salah’s final World Cup remains unknown, but his place in Egyptian football history is beyond question. Already the nation’s leading World Cup goalscorer and record appearance-maker, the former Liverpool forward captained Egypt to their first World Cup victory, first unbeaten group stage, first knockout appearance and first knockout triumph.

“I don’t know whether this is the last dance, but it’s always been an honour to wear this shirt,” Salah said. “I hope I can inspire people, particularly children, to believe they can go far. I hope they see me as a source of inspiration. Success is not reserved for one person, and someone else’s success does not diminish my own.”

The quarter-finals may have slipped from their grasp, but Egypt leave World Cup 2026 with something far more valuable than a place in the last eight. After decades of waiting, the Pharaohs finally announced themselves on football’s biggest stage and gave the world a glimpse of what Egyptian football is capable of.
