This will be Pakistan’s first World Cup since 1997 and more than anything the players will be looking to soak up the atmosphere and see what it’s like to play the big names. But a good performance cannot be secondary to that. After all, unless they reach the Super Sixes, Pakistan will be returning home with only four games under their belt – three group matches and a play-off.Since qualifying for the World Cup early in 2008, Pakistan have played only two tournaments – the Asia Cup and the tri-series in Bangladesh. Their home series against West Indies in November 2008 was cancelled because of security concerns.Playing a World Cup every four years is not going to help the players raise their standards so what they need to do in Australia is show other teams that they are worth playing against. In short, they need to get noticed, but that won’t be easy.Although Pakistan come to Australia with some match practice, having played the tri-series in Bangladesh in February, they do not have the wins to boost their confidence. The only major opposition they have beaten is West Indies in Karachi in 2004. They failed to put up a fight against India and Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup and even lost to Bangladesh, a side yet to receive one-day status.Know your competitionIndia A side they have met six times over the last four years, but never outside the subcontinent. Pakistan open their World Cup campaign against India, who are on the back foot right now, following defeats in England and Australia. Could Pakistan exploit that and book themselves a place in the Super Six?Sri Lanka Though they haven’t beaten Sri Lanka, Pakistan are familiar with their style of play. The tri-series would have given them time to analyse Sri Lanka’s weaknesses and they will hope to target them in Australia.England A team they have played only once since making their first one-day appearance in 1997. But England aren’t just an unknown quality for Pakistan, they are really a force to reckon with. Pakistan will have to play above themselves just to avoid being thrashed.Stars of 2009Urooj Mumtaz, the captain, is a handy legspinner and averages 23.66 from 30 matches. She took 4 for 31 against Sri Lanka to bowl them out for 195 in an Asia Cup game. But even if she can trigger a collapse, she will need some solid back-up from her batsmen to ram home the advantage.Bismah Maroof, the 17-year old opener, had a poor 2008 but will be a batsman in whom the captain will place her confidence since she is capable of measured knocks amid a collapse. She scored 43 against India in an Asia Cup game and 45 against Netherlands in the World Cup qualifiers, where she made 138 from five matches.Sajjida Shah, 21, has already played 52 one-dayers, but her highest score is only 44. It’s time for her experience of nearly nine years on the international circuit to give Pakistan an unexpected entry into the Super Sixes.Squad Urooj Mumtaz (capt), Bismah Maroof, Naila Nazir, Javeria Khan, Sana Mir, Almas Akram, Armaan Khan (wk), Asmavia Iqbal, Batool Fatima, Nahida Khan, Nain Abidi, Qanita Jalil, Sajjida Shah, Sania Khan, Sukhan Faiz.Group fixturesMarch 7 – India v Pakistan, Bradman Oval

Aston Villa have taken versatile Chelsea teenager Declan Firth on trial, according to Birmingham Live.

The Lowdown: Livramento interest

This isn’t the first time Villa have been interested in a Stamford Bridge teenager.

Villa were eyeing a move for Tino Livramento in the summer, however, the full-back ended up signing for Southampton and has been a regular in the Premier League under Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Johan Lange and co have now acted on another Blues youngster, with Firth only signing for at Stamford Bridge back in May.

The Latest: Firth trial

Birmingham Live shared a story on Friday evening, claiming Firth is on trial at Villa.

The 19-year-old, who can play as a left-back, left-midfielder or a right-midfielder, started for the Under-23’s in a victory over West Brom.

Ashley Preece labelled Firth’s display as ‘menacing’, with Caleb Chukwuemeka grabbing the headlines with a hat-trick in a 4-2 win.

The Verdict: Smart move?

After missing out on Livramento, it seems as if Villa have taken swift action when it comes to their interest in Firth.

Bringing him to Bodymoor Heath for a trial seems to be a smart option, and should he impress in Mark Delaney’s side, he could be the latest teenager to pen terms at the club’s academy.

We’ve seen at St Mary’s this season with Livramento the impact a youngster from Chelsea can make when given an opportunity, and who knows, Villa could be onto the next impressive talent coming out of Stamford Bridge.

O Grêmio foi à Argentina e não tomou conhecimento do seu adversário, Godoy Cruz. Venceu por 1 a 0 e agora tem uma boa vantagem para administrar no jogo de volta, na Arena. Na saída do campo, Luan admitiu que o Tricolor poderia ter saído com um resultado ainda melhor, mas elogiou a garra da equipe para sair com a vitória.

– Poderia, né (sair mais gols)? Criamos. Foi um jogo complicado. Mas mostramso que, além de jogar, sabemos fazer uma partida disputada, brigada. O campo pesado faz ter mais contato – analisou o atacante.

Quem também falou foi o zagueiro Kannemann. O hermando do clube gaúcho também exaltou a força de vontade demosntrada pela equipe.

– Jogamos no limite. É algo muito importante e, às vezes, as coisas se complicam – completou o jogador.

Antes da partida de volta em Porto Alegre, que está marcada para dia 9/8, o Grêmio tem suas atençõees voltadas para o Brasileirão e a Copa do Brasil. Serão nove jogos até o confronto decisivo contra os argentinos.

O Flamengo contou com suas principais estrelas para vencer o São Paulo por 2 a 0, neste domingo, na Ilha do Urubu. Guerrero, Diego e Éverton Ribeiro foram os melhores no triunfo na nova casa. Os dois primeiros balançaram as redes, enquanto o recém-contratado deu assistência. Pelo lado do Tricolor, Renan Ribeiro e Rodrigo Caio se salvaram no revés, em dia de pouca produção coletiva dos visitantes. Confira, a seguir, as notas do L! para os jogadores e técnicos.

FLAMENGO

6,0
Thiago
Não teve de fazer nenhuma grande defesa e foi acionado pouquíssimas vezes. Assistiu em posição privilegiada ao bom jogo do Flamengo.

6,5
Pará
Puxou um bom contra-ataque no segundo tempo, mas não teve grande participação ofensiva no restante do jogo. Defensivamente seguro.

6,5
Réver
Zagueiro seguro, realizou uma partida com poucos erros, mas teve trabalho, pois seu lado foi o mais atacado pelo São Paulo na etapa final.

7,0
Rhodolfo
Boa atuação, fez desarmes precisos e ainda evitou o gol são-paulino em cima da linha, na melhor chance do rival no jogo.

6,0
Trauco
Foi bem no ataque, segundo no Fla em passes certos, mas deixou muitos espaços no segundo tempo. São Paulo atacou com frequência no seu lado.

6,0
Márcio Araújo
Discreto, protegeu bem a defesa rubro-negra e foi um dos líderes em desarmes (5), mas fica nisso. Contribuiu pouco para o ataque.

6,5
Cuéllar
Além de ter sido o maior ladrão de bolas do Flamengo (8 desarmes), foi também um dos líderes em passes certos do time.

8,0
Diego
Fez o simples e com muita qualidade. Distribuiu bem o jogo e ainda marcou um belo gol em jogada trabalhada.

7,5
Éverton Ribeiro
Deu bastante trabalho pelo lado direito, sempre com toques lúcidos. Ótima assistência para o gol de Diego. Futuro com ele é animador.

7,0
Éverton
Não destacou-se como os outros jogadores de frente do rubro-negro, mas também criou perigo ao rival. Foi importante ao colaborar sem a bola.

8,0
Guerrero
Um gol, participação decisiva em outro, deu trabalho com faltas perto da área… fez o que se espera de um centroavante como ele. Decisivo.

5,5
Berrío
Entrou no lugar de Éverton Ribeiro para manter a força do lado direito do Fla com velocidade, mas pouco fez na frente.

5,5
Renê
Substituiu Trauco e pouco participou. Cometeu uma falta já nos acréscimos em Wellington Nem.

–
Matheus Sávio
Entrou no fim. Fica sem nota.

7,0
Zé Ricardo
Time não correu riscos e mostrou momentos promissores com tantos bons jogadores no ataque. Fla cada vez mais sólido entre os ponteiros.

SÃO PAULO

6,0
Renan Ribeiro
É o que tem jogado em melhor nível mesmo na fase ruim do time. Fez uma defesa salvadora no segundo tempo. Sem culpa nos gols.

5,0
Araruna
Apresentou-se com frequência, o que é positivo, mas pouco pôde ajudar diante das circunstâncias da partida. Regular.

5,5
Lugano
Manteve a média do que tem apresentado este ano. Sem comprometer com falhas e fazendo o simples.

6,0
Rodrigo Caio
Teve dificuldade para acompanhar o ataque flamenguista, mas salvou um gol no segundo tempo, quase embaixo da linha.

5,5
Júnior Tavares
Jogou da forma regular que o faz titular absoluto de um time que pouco aspira no campeonato.

5,0
Jucilei
Errou passes que não costumar errar quando tentou se lançar à frente para armar jogadas. Seu esforço também é elogiável.

5,5
Petros
Estreia discreta. Foi melhor no segundo tempo, já mais adaptado, ao passar bem a bola. Espera-se mais do recém-chegado.

4,0
Wesley
O mais adiantado do meio de campo na formação inicial não conseguiu levar a bola ao ataque. Pouca intensidade e eficiência tática.

3,5
Marcinho
Partida muito ruim do esforçado atacante. Errou muitos passes e não ofereceu perigo algum. Não vive uma boa fase.

4,5
Cueva
Segue irreconhecível, apesar de ter sido o mais próximo de marcar o gol, em lance salvo pelo zagueiro Réver próximo à linha.

5,5
Pratto
Persistente, mas pouco inspirado diante do latifúndio que é o ataque do São Paulo atualmente. Só na vontade fica difícil.

4,5
Denilson
Das suas investidas pelo lado esquerdo, apenas uma surtiu efeito, sendo desperdiçada por Wellington Nem. Muito pouco.

4,0
Wellington Nem
Precisa estrear pelo São Paulo e ainda não foi dessa vez. Uma furada, uma raspada de cabeça estranha perto do gol. Muito abaixo.

5,5
Shaylon
Garoto entrou em uma subida e acabou participando muito pouco. Recebeu poucas bolas, sinal do que foi o time.

4,5
Rogério Ceni
Escalação ruim, de ineficiência assustadora no primeiro tempo. A equipe só foi acertar o gol aos 20 do segundo tempo. É muito preocupante.

Southampton head to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday in search of their first win in the Premier League this season at the fifth attempt.

The Saints have picked up three points from their opening four league matches, drawing with Newcastle, West Ham and Manchester United after a 3-1 defeat to Everton on the opening day of the campaign.

Ralph Hasenhuttl now faces the unenviable task of trying to pick up a result away to Manchester City. Pep Guardiola’s side have won their last four games in all competitions, scoring 17 goals in the process.

Southampton’s last match ended in a 0-0 draw against the Hammers and Hasenhuttl made a bold call ahead of kick-off, dropping Che Adams from the starting line-up. The Scotland international ended up being an unused substitute as the Saints failed to score, with Armando Broja replacing Adam Armstrong up front in the second half.

It is now time for the Austrian to unleash Adams and bring him back into the starting XI against Manchester City this weekend. Whether that means partnering him with Armstrong in a front two or going with the Scot as the sole number nine remains to be seen, but he should be in the side come 2pm on Saturday as he has the quality to be a game-changer for the Saints.

Earlier this year, Adams was the recipient of a contender for manager quote of the season from Hasenhuttl, who called him a ‘ketchup bottle phenomenon’ for his feast-or-famine goalscoring pattern.

The Austrian said: “Maybe again we have the ketchup bottle phenomenon. A long time nothing, but then maybe everything comes at once. So let’s see.”

The £52k-per-week beast produced nine goals and five assists for Southampton in the Premier League last season, showing that he has the ability to score and create goals at this level. He has also plundered decisive goals against City in the past, scoring a sensational 40-yard screamer against Guardiola’s side in a 1-0 win at St Mary’s in 2020.

This is why he should be reintroduced into the starting XI for the match on Saturday. Adams has proven that he can score goals in the Premier League, and indeed against City, which means that he has the potential to be a game-changer for Hasenhuttl’s side. It’s time to squeeze the ketchup bottle to see what comes out…

AND in other news, Semmens must sanction deal for “dangerous” Saints beast, Ralph would be buzzing…

Nottinghamshire have cleared Samit Patel, the England ODI allrounder, to play in the IPL this year

Samit Patel believes a stint in the IPL would be a benefit both to him and to England’s prospects in the ICC World Twenty20, after Nottinghamshire cleared the England ODI allrounder to play in this year’s tournament. The county said Patel would be available, subject to clearance from the ECB, to participate in the Twenty20 tournament till England’s home ODI series against West Indies.”I think it will happen,” Patel told Sky Sports News. “We’ve had talks and it’s all about opportunities. It’s going to be good not only for English cricket but worldwide. The more English players go and play in the IPL the more they will learn about the shorter format of the game and I think it’s a great opportunity to go and play against the best players in the world.”Nottinghamshire, in a release, said Patel’s participation would be subject to a contractual agreement between them, the ECB and relevant parties in India. “If bought in the auction, Patel would miss the start of Nottinghamshire’s domestic season and return to England in time for the ODI against West Indies on May 21,” the release said. The IPL’s second edition runs from April 10 to May 24.However, while the county claimed Delhi Daredevils, the IPL franchise, have expressed an interest in Patel, a Delhi official denied any approach had been made.According to IPL officials, Patel’s availability for the player auction on February 6 would become official only after a team informs the tournament authorities about their interest in the player. The IPL will then move to sign Patel on a basic contract before putting him up for the auction, an IPL official said. “None of this has happened yet,” he said.”We haven’t expressed any interest nor have we contacted Patel,” Amrit Mathur, chief operating officer (COO) of GMR Sports, which runs the Delhi team, told Cricinfo. “We already have Daniel Vettori, who is a world-class spinner and is available for the entire season.”Mick Newell, Nottinghamshire’s director of cricket, said he supports his player’s desire to participate in the tournament. “It’s an opportunity for Samit that we have to embrace because it gives him a chance to enhance and hone his one-day skills,” he said. “We’ve got plans in place to make sure that we have adequate cover in all areas of the squad and he’ll go to India with our blessing.”Patel, who made his England debut against Scotland in August 2008, has played 11 ODIs so far, scoring 116 runs at 23.20 and taking 11 wickets at 29. Patel, though, failed to impress during the recent ODI series in India, conceding 7.82 runs per over and averaging 60 for his three wickets. He fared a bit better with the bat, scoring 85 runs in four innings at a strike-rate over 90.He remains, however, a central figure in England’s build-up towards the ICC World Twenty20 in June, and the IPL could prove to be the perfect warm-up opportunity. “It’s such a big event with the T20 World Cup in England so it will be good for England to learn about Indian conditions and playing against other players,” he said. “Hopefully that will filter back to England and give us a lot more information for playing against Test-playing nations in the World Cup, but we just have to do what the ECB says.”

Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram is not in favour of India breaking cricketing ties with Pakistan and has suggested that both countries play a Test match in Mumbai, to show solidarity after the recent terrorist attacks in the city

Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram has urged India not to break cricketing ties with Pakistan, suggesting that both countries play a Test match in Mumbai, to show solidarity after the recent terrorist attacks in the city.”Cricket is not on anyone’s mind at the moment, but after three to four days, both countries must take a positive step,” Akram told . “I suggest Pakistan and India play a Test in Mumbai to give a clear message that we will not give in.His remarks come amid unconfirmed reports that the Indian government had denied its cricket team permission to tour Pakistan early next year ,following last week’s attacks. Tensions between the two countries have increased after allegations that the terrorists had Pakistani links, accusations Pakistan strongly denies.”India is like a second home for me, so whatever has happened there has hurt everyone in Pakistan, including me, “said Akram. “But if this hits our relations and cricket, it would mean that we have given in to terrorists.”Akram can draw on personal experience: he captained Pakistan on their tour of India in early 1999, despite threats from religious fundamentalists in India that they would disrupt the tour. Pakistan drew the Test series 1-1 and won the subsequent Pepsi Cup tri-series, also featuring Sri Lanka, thus ending a ten-year drought where neither country had toured the other for Tests. They also won the Asian Test Championship match in Calcutta by 46 runs on the tour.Though worried about the effect on the peace process between the two countries, Akram hoped the situation would improve. “Cricket means everything in the subcontinent. It has built bridges and has averted wars on several occasions. People love and worship cricket, so it would be a great loss if cricket is halted. I hope it isn’t,” he said.India’s tour schedule, from January 2009, was first put in doubt last month when the Indian government refused to grant permission to its junior hockey team to visit Pakistan due to security concerns. India did visit Pakistan in June-July this year for the Asia Cup, but concerns increased after the Champions Trophy, due to be held in September, was postponed following ongoing security concerns.Pakistan have suffered from a number of postponements this year because of security concerns and if India don’t come, it could leave Pakistan without a Test from December 2007 to June 2009, when they are scheduled to visit Sri Lanka.

يرى حارس مرمى منتخب السنغال والفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي تشيلسي، إدوارد ميندي، أن ليفربول سيتأثر برحيل مواطنه ساديو ماني، إلى بايرن ميونخ في الميركاتو الصيفي الحالي.

وانتقل ماني إلى بايرن ميونخ مقابل 32 مليون يورو بعد 6 سنوات في قلعة “أنفيلد”، عقب تعاقد ليفربول مع مهاجم وجناح بنفيكا، داروين نونيز، بما يقرب من 100 مليون يورو.

وتابع: “لقد فقدنا شخصًا عظيمًا وآمل أن يستمتع خلال تواجده في الدوري الألماني”.

وأضاف: “أرى أن رحيل ماني عن ليفربول هو خسارة كبيرة لهم، كان له تأثير كبير، كذلك كان مثالًا يحتذى به للاعبين الشباب”.

وأتم تصريحاته: “عندما تفقد شخصًا مثل ماني يمكن أن يكون له تأثير كبير على الفريق، ولن يكون ليفربول بنفس المستوى بعد رحيله”.
