The Southampton manager is furious at the contentious Liverpool penalty call.

Ivan Juric, manager of Southampton, feels Liverpool should have been given a penalty in the second half of their 3-1 loss at Anfield on Saturday. Will Smallbone gave the Saints an unexpected lead in stoppage time of the first half, but Darin Nunez quickly erased the lead. Mo Salah scored two penalty penalties in the second half to give Liverpool the victory, but Juric thought the first one was unfair. There didn't appear to be much in the area as Smallbone and Nunez collided, but referee Lewis Smith gave the penalty. Juric, the Southampton manager, is furious at Liverpool's penalty call. "They responded quite well," Juric said to BBC Sport. "We had some excellent first-half situations. The match was altered, in my opinion, by the [first] penalty, which was not a penalty. I'm happy with the way we performed today. "This can never be a punishment. Since it was 1-1 and somewhat altered the outcome, I apologize for what happened. Many of our yo...

Jamaica aims for its first Copa America win against Ecuador.

Jamaica will face Ecuador on the second matchday of Group B at the 2024 CONMEBOL Copa America on Wednesday at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Last Saturday, the Reggae Boyz dropped their first encounter of the tournament, 1–0, to neighboring Concacaf nation Mexico in Houston. Goalkeeper Jahmali Waite was particularly impressive, making eight saves during the game.

Dexter Lembikisa had some of the greatest opportunities of the day against Mexico, including a last-ditch effort in second-half stoppage time. Despite the defeat, Michail Antonio and Kasey Palmer stood out on the offensive side.

Michael Hector made history by becoming the first Jamaican player to have made the most appearances in the competition. He can improve his record by playing against Ecuador.

Jamaica is still looking for their first goal, point, and victory in the Copa America after three appearances. A victory would keep the squad in contention for one of the top two slots, allowing them to make their maiden participation in the knockout stage.

Under head coach Heimir Hallgrimsson, Jamaica hopes to regain its winning ways in 2024. Jamaica has won three consecutive games prior to the loss to Mexico.

Ecuador's men's national team fell 2-1 to Venezuela on Saturday at Santa Clara, California. The team was reduced to ten men in the 22nd minute owing to a red card for Enner Valencia, who will serve his suspension.

Jeremy Sarmiento scored the first goal of the game in the 40th minute, despite having a man advantage, before Venezuela rallied in the second half. Sarmiento, 22, is a promising young player for La Tri.

Other 22-year-olds on head coach Felix Sanchez's call-up list include Moises Caicedo and Piero Hincapie. The Spanish manager led Qatar to the semifinals and quarterfinals of the Concacaf Gold Cup in 2021 and 2023, respectively.

Andres Micolta, who just helped Pachuca win the 2024 Concacaf Champions Cup, might make his debut in the competition. Ecuador also has another former CCC winner in Angel Mena, who was a member of Club Leon's championship team in 2023.

Thierry Henry was denied a joyful homecoming as France was defeated by gold medal winners Spain.

Exactly 36 years after Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Lawrie Sanchez, and others ripped up the rulebook to propel Bobby Gould's Wimbledon to a storied FA Cup victory, Thierry Henry's France fell agonisingly short of capturing an emotional Olympic gold medal in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes in Paris. Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat. Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano was their unexpected late nemesis, dunking French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with 100 minutes on the clock to startle a stunned capacity crowd. And he delivered a virtual carbon copy of that finish with the game's final kick, charging in on goal as the French flung bodies forward to slot past Restes and cruelly ...
