Ajax y Osasuna
La plantilla de Osasuna ha realizado el primer entrenamiento en Holanda, donde mañana disputará su primer partido amistoso de la pretemporada ante el Ajax, el primero de los cinco que jugará en su concentración fuera de España.
La expedición osasunista, formada por 26 jugadores, ha llegado a su lugar de concentración, Ermelo, a 80 kilómetros de Amsterdam, a las 14.30 horas y tras descansar unas horas el equipo navarro ha desarrollado su primer entrenamiento en Holanda a media tarde.
En la sesión no han participado los lesionados Emiliano Armenteros y Manuel Ortiz "Lolo"(Juan Francisco Martínez "Nino" se ha quedado en Pamplona por una grave lesión de rodilla), quienes probablemente se perderán los cinco amistosos de esta concentración.
El media punta navarro Roberto Torres se ha reincorporado al grupo tras guardar reposo los últimos días por una otitis.

England vs Australia
London - Englands take on Australia in the second of the five-Test Ashes series and the game will be played at Lord's in London from July 18.
There wasn't much of a gap between the first and the second Tests and it will be interesting to see how the two sides, England and Australia, recover from the adrenaline rush of the first Test match.
First the good news, and this one is for the fans. As reported by CricketDiaries here, the second Test match will be streamed live for users around the world online. According to that site, it is a measure adopted by the English cricket board to overcome piracy issues surrounding the viewing of the Ashes series online.
Moving back to cricket, even in those three days between the Trent Bridge game — that England won — and this Lord's Test match much has transpired. Even as former coach Mickey Arthur demanded a $4 million compensation package from Cricket Australia and inadvertently revealed the issues between Shane Watson and Michael Clarke, there was a lot to consider on the field for new Australia coach Darren Lehmann.
The biggest question is the Australian line-up and he was unequivocal about his side's shot-selection. Ed Cowan was in the line of his fire for sure as Lehmann called his shot-making disappointing. Here's what Lehmann had to say about Cowan's shot-making.
The other issue that Lehmann will have going into this Test is the inexperience of their fast bowling attack. Remember the Lord's ground has a pretty nasty slope and that could make life difficult for most, including the young Aussie bowlers. There's a good chance that Lehmann will look to bring in the experience of Ryan Harris into the attack in place of Mitchell Starc.
Michael Clarke has brushed aside reports of in-team issues and as reported here, played up the side's unity. The issue, however, will arise when the going gets tough and it will be interesting to see how his team reacts to the situation.
The game begins today at 11 a.m. London time with the toss to be held a half hour before that.

Hannover 96-West Brom
There's a first taste of pre-season action for Steve Clarke’s men this evening, with our tipster backing the Baggies to take care of their German opposition
West Bromwich Albion take on Hannover 96 tonight in their first friendly this summer.
Steve Clarke’s men will take to the field for the first time since their remarkable comeback versus Manchester United on the final day of last season, which saw them score late goals to draw 5-5.
Hannover will be no push overs tonight, though, finishing a solid ninth position in the Bundesliga last term.
Mirko Slomka’s men come into this match already having played six friendlies and enjoyed a run of successful matches before they faced PSV last time out.
The Dutch side tore Hannover to pieces, beating them convincingly 3-0. This was their first real test, after disposing of lower league German sides in the previous matches. Bet365 price them at 6/4 (2.50) to get back to winning ways this evening.
West Brom, meanwhile, will be full of confidence after a fantastic season in the Premier League.
Steve Clarke inspired his side to a top eight finish after a start that saw them keep up with the top four in the division. Despite one of their best strikers, Romelu Lukaku, returning to Chelsea, the Baggies have brought in Nicolas Anelka, who is a proven goal scorer. Bet365 cannot split the two sides, pricing West Brom at 6/4 (2.50) as well, with the draw at 12/5 (3.40).
Despite this being West Brom’s first friendly, they shouldn’t struggle against a Hannover side who were all out of sorts against PSV. It won’t be a walk in the park for the English side, but, with a strong team expected to line up, it’s certainly worth taking advantage of the 6/4 (2.50) price on offer for them to kick off their pre-season with a win.

El técnico Juan Carlos Osorio tampoco podrá contar con Juan David Valencia, por lesión, y en su lugar podría estar Farid Díaz o Sherman Cárdenas.
De igual manera se ha conocido que no será titular el veterano delantero Juan Pablo Ángel y que Jefferson Duque será el encargado de buscar los goles del equipo verde de Antioquia, que espera dar la vuelta olímpica como visitante, sumando el que sería su duodécimo título en Colombia.
"Esperamos que Santa Fe proponga más en Bogotá por el apoyo de su público, pero igual nosotros vamos a trabajar en una propuesta diferente", ha comentado el técnico Osorio, quien reconoció en Santa Fe al mejor equipo del momento en Colombia, con el mejor delantero, Wilder Medina.

Cuba Vs. Belize
Cuba and Belize prepare to play their final opening round games in Group C of the CONCACAF Gold Cup and while both teams have struggled at times through 2 matches, there is still plenty to play for
A win for either team will keep slim hope alive of advancement to the quarterfinal round. The United States and Costa Rica are a perfect two-for-two in their first round contests but despite the lack of victories, Cuba and Belize still have a chance to move on.
When and Where to Watch Gold Cup Match
Cuba and Belize will meet on Tuesday, July 16th from Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Connecticut. The match is set to begin at 5:30pm, EST with television coverage available on the FOX Soccer channel.
Those choosing to watch the game via on-line live stream can do so by visiting FOX Soccer 2 Go.
Match Preview
The Cuban national team dropped its tournament opener against Costa Rica in a game that saw the team struggle mightily on the offensive end. They were able to fire off 14 shots throughout the game but only a Jose Alfonso Pita attempt in the 85th minute had a real chance of splitting the pipes.
Suffering a 3-0 defeat to one of the top 2 teams in the group, Cuba was also lackluster on the defensive end. Costa Rican scorer Michael Barrantes was brilliant in the opener, recording goals at the 50 and 76-minute marks to propel his team to victory.
It was more of the same for Cuba in match No. 2 as this time the United States proved to be too much to handle. Dropping the contest 4-1, Cuba slipped toward the bottom half of the pool behind the U.S. and Cuba.
While Cuba certainly struggled in the opener, Belize had an extremely tough time with the United States.
Surrendering six goals to their opponents in a 6-1 loss, the Belizean nationals also watched as USMNT striker Chris Wondolowski record a first-half hat trick. Though they were never expected to be a major factor in Group C, most thought Belize had the talent to avoid major blowouts like the one suffered against the United States.
Belize put forth a much stronger effort the next time out against Costa Rica.
Not allowing a single goal from the Costa Rican offensive unit, Belizean defender Dalton Eiley put one through his own net for the only goal of the game in the 49th minute. The 1-0 loss was heartbreaking for sure, but Belize showed the ability to compete against one of the top teams in the tournament and bounce back from tough losses.
The problem facing both Cuba and Belize heading into Tuesday night's showdown is that while both teams can advance to the next round with a victory, a big win will be needed since the goal differential in the standings is a whopping minus-six.
The top 2 third place teams in the tournament will advance to the next stage and if one of those teams is to come from Group C, Cuba or Belize will need a huge offensive showing.

Atlético Nacional vs Santa Fe
Siga, en vivo, la final entre Atlético Nacional e Independiente Santa Fe de la Liga Postobón. Los rojos son el mejor equipo del semestre y los verdes llegan a arruinar la fiesta bogotana.
Haga clic acá para ver, en vivo, el minuto a minuto de la final.
Atlético Nacional recibirá a Independiente Santa Fe en el choque de ida de la que será la tercera final entre ambos, luego de un triunfo para los de Bogotá en 1971 y otro para los verdes de Medellín en el Apertura 2005.
Las estadísticas reflejan que han sido los dos mejores equipos del año con 44 puntos para Santa Fe y tan solo una diferencia de dos para Nacional con 42.
La campaña que ha hecho Santa Fe lo muestra como favorito, ante un Atlético Nacional que incluso ha recibido la crítica de propios y extraños por su desempeño en el torneo, pese a los números.
Sin embargo, los dirigidos por Juan Carlos Osorio apelarán a su jerarquía, a su historia, esa que cuenta que ha ganado 11 títulos locales, la misma que dice que fue el primer campeón de Colombia en la Copa Libertadores 1989 y la que lo respalda como equipo ganador.
"Estoy muy tranquilo y optimista porque vamos a disputar una final contra un gran rival como es Santa Fe, pero tenemos todas las posibilidades de ganar también. Hay un espíritu de equipo muy alentador y vamos a planificar los juegos de la mejor manera y a esperar que los muchachos tengan un buen desempeño", afirmó Osorio.
El experimentado delantero Juan Pablo Ángel manifestó hoy que "cada final es distinta por las circunstancias en las que llegan ambos equipos, y en este caso Santa Fe tiene una revancha importante después de haber perdido el objetivo de llegar a la final de la Libertadores", dijo.
Y agregó "pero nosotros estamos con la ilusión de ganar otra vez un campeonato, una meta que nos propusimos a comienzo de año".
Atlético Nacional ganó los títulos de 1954, 1973, 1976, 1981, 1991, 1994, 1999, 2005-I, 2007-I, 2007-II y 2011-I.
Santa Fe se desplazó al medio día de hoy a la capital de Antioquia, con la mira puesta en el octavo título de su historia, tras los alcanzados en 1948, 1958, 1960, 1966, 1971, 1975 y 2012-I.
Tras pasar la página de la eliminación en la semifinal de la Copa Libertadores frente al Olimpia paraguayo, Santa Fe está dispuesto a entregarle una gran alegría a sus hinchas con un título más, apoyados por la gran campaña durante el año.
"La idea de nosotros es hacer un gran partido, una gran final para que podamos entregar otro título a Santa Fe y a la gente en Bogotá", manifestó el técnico Wilson Gutiérrez.
"Para esta final nos hemos centrado en la recuperación de los jugadores tras el esfuerzo contra Olimpia, estamos y pensando en el buen manejo de balón que queremos tener y en no renunciar a lo que nosotros estamos acostumbrados a hacer", añadió.
El goleador del equipo y del campeonato, Wilder Medina, con 12 anotaciones, motivado no solo por la final, sino por su traspaso al Barcelona ecuatoriano, se mostró optimista por dejarle un título más a Santa Fe antes de su salida.
"Tenemos un gran equipo, una gran institución, una final no se juega todos los años y vamos a ir con toda. A la final llegamos felices, aunque dolió la eliminación en Copa Libertadores, pero ya pasó, ahora lo que queremos es ponerle otra estrella al escudo de Santa Fe", manifestó Medina antes de viajar a Medellín.

West Indies vs Pakistan
Nasir Jamshed and Shehzad are at the crease. Nasir Jamshed is on strike. Roach will open the attack
The players are making their way out to the centre. There are a few dark clouds around.
Teams:
West Indies (Playing XI): Johnson Charles(w), Chris Gayle, Darren Bravo, Marlon Samuels, Lendl Simmons, Dwayne Bravo(c), Kieron Pollard, Darren Sammy, Kemar Roach, Sunil Narine, Jason Holder
Pakistan (Playing XI): Nasir Jamshed, Ahmed Shehzad, Mohammad Hafeez, Misbah-ul-Haq(c), Asad Shafiq, Umar Akmal(w), Shahid Afridi, Wahab Riaz, Saeed Ajmal, Asad Ali, Mohammad Irfan
Misbah: Not too sure about this pitch. We were also looking bowl first because of the weather. If we can survive the first few overs it must be good. We haven't played cricket for a long time. The guys are fresh and have had a break after the Champions Trophy. We will have to take responsibilty as a batting unit. Umar Akmal and Shahid Afridi are back. Umar will keep wickets.
Dwayne Bravo: We will bowl first. It has been a while since we played international cricket here. Overcast conditions should help the bowlers a bit. Hopefully we will restrict them to a decent total. Simmons and Holder are in. Devon Smith is left out. We are excited and looking forward to a good start. The fitness levels are good in the team. Hopefully we will go well today.
West Indies have won the toss and elected to field
Pitch Report: The pitch has a thick covering of grass, but it is dry and good for batting. A few cracks should help the spinners. But it might not have the same carry and bounce throughout the innings.
08:45 Local Time, 12:45 GMT, 18:15 IST: The players are out there warming up. The news is that, toss will happen at 09:00 Local Time. And the game will begin at 09:15 Local Time.
08:39 Local Time, 12:39 GMT, 18:09 IST: The good news is that the sun is shining nicely. Hopefully it should be a small delay.
08:35 Local Time, 12:35 GMT, 18:05 IST: The Toss has been delayed due to wet outfield. But as we speak, there is a bit of drizzle around and the covers are coming back on.
Hello, and a warm welcome to one all for the first ODI between West Indies and Pakistan. The cricket carnival continues in the Caribbean. After India and Sri Lanka, the third sub-continental gaint, Pakistan visit these shores. The big news from the Pakistan camp is that Shahid Afridi is back while the trio of Farhat, Malik and Kamran have been axed. Toss and team updates in a while..
Preview
Dwayne Bravo will begin the five-match one-day international series against Pakistan fully aware he has failed to fire since taking over as West Indies captain.
The all-rounder was handed the skipper's role before last month's Champions Trophy, but has since struggled.
His team have also failed to find any form, missing out on the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy, before India and Sri Lanka beat them to the final of their own Tri-Series tournament. Bravo takes his side to GUY for the opening two games of the series against Pakistan, which starts on Sunday, and admits he needs to lead from the front.
'I really need to actually step up a bit more with my batting, bowling and fielding, in order for the team to do well,' he told the GUY Chronicle. 'The team requires me to perform at my best and once I can do that, the team, and by extension West Indies cricket, will benefit some more.'
Despite that the 29-year-old is confident his side can reverse their poor recent record.
'I am comfortable with the squad and I am comfortable with each and every player,' he said.
'I know a lot of players had a poor form in the last series. But they are all good players and we know what they did in the past and there is not much I can say to them, but just to make sure they believe in themselves. I have to make sure they continue to back their ability. They have done great for the West Indies in the past and people must not forget that.
'We all know some persons have short minds in the Caribbean, but just remember the great things they have done for us over the past eight years or so and I am looking forward to the guys who have not done well in the last series, to come forward and do well.'
Wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin has been left out for the first two games, meaning the Windies will have to decide whether part-timers Lendl Simmons or Johnson Charles - who kept in the Tri-Series - takes the gloves.
Pakistan welcome back all-rounder Shahid Afridi for the series, after he was left out of the Champions Trophy, as well as Umar Akmal, who could also keep.
The players are making their way out to the centre. There are a few dark clouds around.
Teams:
West Indies (Playing XI): Johnson Charles(w), Chris Gayle, Darren Bravo, Marlon Samuels, Lendl Simmons, Dwayne Bravo(c), Kieron Pollard, Darren Sammy, Kemar Roach, Sunil Narine, Jason Holder
Pakistan (Playing XI): Nasir Jamshed, Ahmed Shehzad, Mohammad Hafeez, Misbah-ul-Haq(c), Asad Shafiq, Umar Akmal(w), Shahid Afridi, Wahab Riaz, Saeed Ajmal, Asad Ali, Mohammad Irfan
Misbah: Not too sure about this pitch. We were also looking bowl first because of the weather. If we can survive the first few overs it must be good. We haven't played cricket for a long time. The guys are fresh and have had a break after the Champions Trophy. We will have to take responsibilty as a batting unit. Umar Akmal and Shahid Afridi are back. Umar will keep wickets.
Dwayne Bravo: We will bowl first. It has been a while since we played international cricket here. Overcast conditions should help the bowlers a bit. Hopefully we will restrict them to a decent total. Simmons and Holder are in. Devon Smith is left out. We are excited and looking forward to a good start. The fitness levels are good in the team. Hopefully we will go well today.
West Indies have won the toss and elected to field
Pitch Report: The pitch has a thick covering of grass, but it is dry and good for batting. A few cracks should help the spinners. But it might not have the same carry and bounce throughout the innings.
08:45 Local Time, 12:45 GMT, 18:15 IST: The players are out there warming up. The news is that, toss will happen at 09:00 Local Time. And the game will begin at 09:15 Local Time.
08:39 Local Time, 12:39 GMT, 18:09 IST: The good news is that the sun is shining nicely. Hopefully it should be a small delay.
08:35 Local Time, 12:35 GMT, 18:05 IST: The Toss has been delayed due to wet outfield. But as we speak, there is a bit of drizzle around and the covers are coming back on.
Hello, and a warm welcome to one all for the first ODI between West Indies and Pakistan. The cricket carnival continues in the Caribbean. After India and Sri Lanka, the third sub-continental gaint, Pakistan visit these shores. The big news from the Pakistan camp is that Shahid Afridi is back while the trio of Farhat, Malik and Kamran have been axed. Toss and team updates in a while..
Preview
Dwayne Bravo will begin the five-match one-day international series against Pakistan fully aware he has failed to fire since taking over as West Indies captain.
The all-rounder was handed the skipper's role before last month's Champions Trophy, but has since struggled.
His team have also failed to find any form, missing out on the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy, before India and Sri Lanka beat them to the final of their own Tri-Series tournament. Bravo takes his side to GUY for the opening two games of the series against Pakistan, which starts on Sunday, and admits he needs to lead from the front.
'I really need to actually step up a bit more with my batting, bowling and fielding, in order for the team to do well,' he told the GUY Chronicle. 'The team requires me to perform at my best and once I can do that, the team, and by extension West Indies cricket, will benefit some more.'
Despite that the 29-year-old is confident his side can reverse their poor recent record.
'I am comfortable with the squad and I am comfortable with each and every player,' he said.
'I know a lot of players had a poor form in the last series.

Costa Rica vs Belize
Costa Rica vs Belize in the Gold Cup 2013 soccer tournament takes place on Saturday afternoon, with Costa Rica looking to claim their second win of the competition and confirm their place in the knock out stages. The match kicks off at 6 p.m. ET and can be watched online through free live stream (details below).
Belize were up against one of the tournament favorites in their opening game in the United States, and the big gap in class was apparent in the 6-1 defeat for tiny Belize.
Things do not get that much easier today though as they come up against a very capable Costa Rica team who are unlikely to be in any mood to take it easy against the big underdogs.
Belize may be hoping to claim a shock draw, which would be a massive result and would open the door to them trying to claim one of the two third place qualifying spots open in this year's CONCACAF Gold Cup.
In their final Group C game Belize will be playing Cuba and that will be the game they will be going all out for to claim a win in this year's tournament.
Meanwhile, Costa Rica claimed a good win against Cuba in their first game, winning 3-0. They will hope to claim another confident win today to build on their good work so far and build confidence ahead of their final group game against the United States.

Marselha x FC Porto
Depois do Valadares e do Maastricht, o «novo» FC Porto fabricado por Paulo Fonseca enfrenta este sábado (19h30) o primeiro teste de fogo da pré-temporada. Em Sion, na Suíça, o tricampeão português coloca-se à prova perante o histórico Olympique Marseille, no reencontro de Lucho González com a antiga equipa.
Depois das goleadas, um choque a «doer»
Nos já tradicionais duelos de menor grau de exigência a abrir a pré-temporada, o FC Porto acabou por trabalhar essencialmente os processos ofensivos e a finalização, tarefas traduzidas em goleadas sobre o Valadares (14x0) e o Maastricht (6x0).
Agora surge um adversário bem mais cotado e capaz de colocar problemas ao dragão de Paulo Fonseca, que destacou isso mesmo na antevisão ao duelo com os franceses, inserido na Valais Cup 2013: «O Marseille é uma equipa muito forte e tenho a certeza que vão ter a mesma abordagem que nós. Por isso, estou à espera que seja um jogo muito interessante.»
Será também uma oportunidade de outro nível para os reforços provarem que podem entrar no onze do tricampeão nacional. Ghilas, um dos destaques das primeiras duas semanas de trabalho, voltará a estar no centro das atenções, embora tenha saído mais cedo do treino de sexta-feira.
Os mexicanos Diego Reyes e Hector Herrera também podem ser lançados por Paulo Fonseca, que já deixou claro que os dois sul-americanos precisam de mais tempo para se adaptarem à nova realidade.
Jogo especial para Lucho
O jogo deste sábado tem ainda um condimento extra, uma vez que vai permitir a Lucho González defronta a ex-equipa. O médio argentino passou por Marselha entre 2009 e 2012, tendo conquistado uma Liga francesa logo no ano de estreia.

Usa vs Cuba
USA vs Cuba in the Gold Cup 2013 soccer tournament takes place on Saturday afternoon with the United States looking to build on their confident blowout win against Belize in their opening game. The match will kick off at 3.30 p.m. ET and can be watched online through free live stream (details below).
The United States won their opening game against Belize 6-1, but today's opposition, Cuba, should put up more resistance and provide a tougher challenge for U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann's men.
At the moment in Group C, the United States are top after their large win, but they are just ahead of Costa Rica who beat Cuba 3-0 in their opening encounter. That should mean that the U.S. are hot favorites for another good win today. Costa Rica also will be big favorites to put a hatful past lowly Belize, and that should set up a USA vs Costa Rica game to close out the group to decide who will top Group C for the knock out rounds.
The United States are the tournament favorites in many people's minds, especially given how Mexico have been in very lukewarm form and have a relatively inexperienced squad with them in this Gold Cup tournament.
Jurgen Klinsmann will be pleased with his squad right now, even though many players could be labeled as second string to his regular starting 11, they have performed well and have played with fluency and conviction.
Cuba meanwhile know they have to pull off a shock today if they are to have any reasonable chance of progressing. If they lose here today they will basically be on the brink even before their final game of the group. They will probably more realistically be looking to claim one of the two third place qualifying positions to get through to the next round. So even if they can claim a draw today it would be a massive result for them.

Panama vs. Martinique
Somehow, some way, Panama and Martinique are fighting for the lead in Group A.
Panama are stunningly in the driver's seat in Group A following their defeat of Mexico, and can put themselves in a position to avoid the tournament's other big guns in the quarterfinal if they clinch three points against Martinique on Thursday. Martinique have proven to be no pushovers, however, and outplayed Canada for 90 minutes in their opener before hitting a spectacular winner.
While Martinique are unlikely to control the game as easily against Panama as they did against Canada, the Panamanians will certainly be weary of the danger they present on the counter. Panama looked excellent in their opener and will expect to take control of this match early, but don't be too stunned if Martinique give them a tough time and keep the result in doubt deep into the second half.
Match date/time: Thursday, 8:30 p.m. ET

India vs. Sri Lanka
Inspired India beat Sri Lanka by 81 runs at the Port of Spain in a do-or-die encounter to seal the final berth. India were under the cosh after their loss in the first two games. The manner in which India won their final two encounters – by obtaining the bonus point shows the reason why they are the No 1 side in One-Day International (ODI) cricket. On Thursday, they will lock horns with Sri Lanka in the final of the tri-series at the Port of Spain. The momentum will be with India since they have so far been unbeaten at the venue.
The inclusion of Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the final might give India the incisive edge. "Dhoni is getting better and he may be fit for the final," Virat Kohli said during the toss on Tuesday against Sri Lanka at the Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad.
India’s bowling has been impressive. Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s figures of 6-1-8-4 were a reward for bowling just around the off-stump with subtle movement. The conditions have tended to suit the pace bowlers because of the lateral movement on the wicket. Umesh Yadav has had issues with the controlling the new ball but he has been finding the movement. Ishant Sharma has been playing the role of the backup seamer and has so far picked up six wickets in three games.
The spin duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin have found a lot of turn at the Queen’s Park Oval. Kohli has given the duo attacking fields and encouraged them to go for wickets.
Indian batsmen have shouldered the responsibility well after not-so-good performance in the first two games. Kohli is in good form after his century against West Indies. Rohit Sharma played a mature knock of 48 against Sri Lanka to give India a decent platform before rain intervened. Rohit’s innings was decisive in the final analysis.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, might be a tad jaded after playing continuously for three days. Against India their batting collapsed like a pack of cards. No top-order batsman could get going and in the end 96 all out was a morale-shattering performance.
Sri Lankan batting has the class to overcome the disastrous performance. In their first game against India the opening duo of Upul Tharanga and Mahela Jayawardene scored a century each and batted India out of the game. Kumar Sangakkara is fresh from a classy 90 against West Indies. Angelo Mathews too has been in good touch.
Shaminda Eranga has bowled with a lot of pace but has gone for runs as well. In the absence of Nuwan Kulasekhara, Dilhara Lokuhettige has opened the bowling for Sri Lanka. Lokuhettige has made a comeback in the Sri Lankan side after eight years. Mathews has been Sri Lanka’s most economical bowler in the tri-series and he has also picked up wickets. Lasith Malinga is Sri Lanka’s strike bowler who can never be discounted. Rangana Herath is in good rhythm and the couple of wickets he got against India – an arm ball to trap Kohli and the sharp turn to beat Dinesh Karthik on Tuesday highlights his class.
The sides are evenly matched. Both of them have beaten each other by thumping margins. Expect the final to be a riveting contest.
Teams:
India (probable): Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Dinesh Karthik, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni (c&wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav, Ishant Sharma.
Sri Lanka (probable): Upul Tharanga, Mahela Jayawardene, Kumar Sangakkara (wk), Dinesh Chandimal, Lahiru Thirimanne, Angelo Mathews (c), Jeevan Mendis, Dilhara Lokuhettige, Rangana Herath, Shaminda Eranga,Lasith Malinga.

Basel vs Dortmund
Die Partie zwischen dem FC Basel und Borussia Dortmund, die live im Fernsehen und als Live-Stream im Internet übertragen wird, ist der zweite ernsthafte Test für die Mannschaft von Trainer Jürgen Klopp innerhalb weniger Tage. Mit dem Schweizer Meister wartet dabei eine ganz besondere Herausforderung, zumal man sich in der Champions League wiedersehen könnte.
Vor knapp einer Woche hat Jürgen Klopp bei Borussia Dortmund das erste Mal zum Training gebeten und seit dem hat man schon zwei Testspiele absolviert. Das Benefizspiel gegen das Team von Oliver Pocher hat die Spieler nicht sonderlich gefordert, aber schon beim Test gegen den 1. FC Magdeburg war zu beobachten, dass man noch einige Grundlagen für die kommende Spielzeit schaffen muss. Mittlerweile sind alle Spieler des Kaders eingetroffen und das intensive Arbeiten kann beginnen.

Am heutigen Mittwoch steht Borussia Dortmund dem FC Basel gegenüber. Auch der amtierende Schweizer Meister ist in seiner Vorbereitung deutlich weiter, da man in der Alpenrepublik auf eine sehr kurze Sommerpause setzt. Die Grundlagen werden in der deutlich längeren Winterpause geschaffen. Dies wird sich in der Partie sicherlich auch bemerkbar machen, denn die Mannschaft von Trainer Jürgen Klopp kann gar nicht über so viele Grundlagen verfügen nach nur einer Woche Training. Dennoch ist der Test eine wichtige Standortbestimmung, denn der FC Basel kann sich ebenfalls für die Gruppenphase der Champions League qualifizieren und wäre somit ein potenzieller Gegner.

Лудогорец срещу Берое
"Гоним по-добро представяне през този сезон"
Председателят на Съвета на Директорите и изпълнителен директор на Берое Илко Русев заяви, че отборът ще подходи сериозно за мача за Суперкупата срещу Лудогорец.
„Ще подходим сериозно за мача срещу Лудогорец. Подготовката е към края си. Това е първият мач, в който ще видим какво е състоянието на отбора преди участието в Лига Европа. Подхождаме сериозно и се надявам да бъдем по-радостните след края на мача“, коментира Русев.
„Ние ще продължим по пътя, който сме поели, откакто сме собственици. Мисля, че мястото ни е в първата половина на таблицата. В зависмост от изхода на първите срещи, които са срещу по-стойностните отбори от българското първенство, ще видим и какви цели може да преследваме. При всяко положение ако не се класираме в първата половина, това ще бъде един неуспех за нас“, добави председателят на Съвета на директорите на Берое.
„Продължаваме по същия начин на развитие на клуба. Искахме да подсилим отбора с няколко нови попълнения. Засега това все още не е факт. Само Благой Макенджиев привлякохме. Търсим футболисти, които сме сигурни, че ще бъдат подходящи за нашия отбор. Има още време и мисля, че ще се подсилим с някой нов футболист“, продължи изпълнителният директор на Берое.
„Ще се постараем да вдигнем нивото. Успехът през миналото първенство бе сериозен. С много труд и работа се надявам да надградим“, каза още Илко Русев.

Pogon Szczecin / Lyon
Après quasiment deux semaines d'entraînement, l'Olympique Lyonnais dispute son premier match amical ce mercredi soir en Pologne contre Pogon Szczecin.
Ce sera plus un décrassage amical qu'une confrontation destinée à dégager une équipe type même si la compétition arrivera bien vite pour l'OL, le 30 ou 31 juillet à l'occasion du match aller du 3e tour préliminaire de la Champion's league. Bafétimbi Gomis, invité à s'entraîner à part de ses coéquipiers en attendant une possibilité de transfert qui lui convienne à lui et au club, ne sera pas de la partie. Jimmy Briand, sur qui l'OL ne compte plus guère mais qui n'a pas de proposition, pourrait en revanche faire le déplacement s'il est apte. Il est actuellement aux soins.
"Ce sera une première opposition. Cela se présente bien. La satisfaction est de ne pas déplorer de problème physique malgré la chaleur actuellement sur Lyon et l'intensité des entraînements. Ce match sera un premier test. Jusqu'à présent, nous avons beaucoup axé le travail sur le côté individuel. Mercredi, nous commencerons à travailler surtout les associations et entrer dans les principes collectifs, explique Rémi Garde. Il ne faut pas traîner en route. Cela va aller très vite avec seulement quatre matches amicaux mais je considère la rencontre face à Pogon comme une première opposition et je suis plutôt dans l'esprit de ne pas dégager d'équipe type cette fois-ci mais plutôt de voir plutôt des associations entre différents joueurs sur le terrains", dit encore l'entraîneur.

Cuba vs. Costa Rica
La selección cubana de fútbol debutará este martes en la Copa de Oro de la Confederación Norte, Centroamericana y del Caribe de Fútbol (Concacaf) ante Costa Rica, en Portland (noroeste de Estados Unidos).
En la escuadra de la mayor de las Antillas, integrada por 23 jugadores, destacan los veteranos Odelín Molina (portero) y el volante de contención Yenier Márquez, quienes asistirán a su sexta Copa de Oro.
El técnico de la selección de Cuba, Walter Benítez, aseguró que su equipo conoce el poderío histórico de Costa Rica en la Copa de Oro y que a pasar de los resultados anteriores han preparado el partido inicial para escribir una historia diferente.
"Nos hemos preparado bien creemos que podemos hacer un buen partido, sabemos que Costa Rica tiene jugadores muy competitivos, pero en el terreno las diferencias pueden acortarse", afirmó durante la conferencia de prensa realizada esta tarde.
La máxima competición de la Confederación Norte Centroamericana y del Caribe de Fútbol (CONCACAF) ya está en marcha. Como cada dos años, Estados Unidos recibe en sus tierras a las mejores selecciones del área en busca de levantar la Copa de Oro, que en esta edición tiene el valor añadido de conceder medio boleto a la Copa Confederaciones de 2017.
Cuba asiste por séptima ocasión a estas lides y con una nómina bastante renovada busca dejar una buena imagen para superar la fase de grupos y colarse entre los mejores 8 equipos del certamen.
La comitiva cubana llegó a Portland, tras partir en la mañana del domingo desde La Habana. Los dirigidos por el granmense Walter Benítez no tuvieron mucho tiempo para relajarse, pues debutan ante la potente escuadra de Costa Rica en el inicio de las acciones del grupo C. La segunda presentación llegará el día 13 frente al favorito once de Estados Unidos, mientras en el cierre de la etapa clasificatoria (16 de julio) se medirán a la debutante representación de Belice.
Los principales problemas de Cuba en su afán por igualar o superar la actuación de 2003, cuando avanzaron hasta los cuartos de final, vuelven a ser los mismos de torneos precedentes. La falta de volumen competitivo y la carencia de partidos internacionales son un lastre para un plantel que llega a Orlando como campeón del Caribe. Es incomprensible que para una cita de tanta magnitud los cubanos no hayan sumado un encuentro oficial desde diciembre de 2012.
Más allá de los impedimentos consabidos, la conformación de esta selección generó polémica por la exclusión de algunos futbolistas consagrados que integraron el grupo titular de la Copa del Caribe. Hasta cinco jugadores de la anterior convocatoria no hicieron el grado, pero los casos más notorios son los de Carlos Domingo Francisco y Marcel Hernández. Los argumentos esgrimidos para dejar fuera del plantel a estos pesos pesados fueron el rendimiento en el campeonato nacional y su estado de forma física.
La nota positiva en toda esta historia es el regreso a las filas de la absoluta de un jugador extraclase como Yenier Márquez. El futbolista de Villa Clara se había retirado de forma voluntaria del anterior proceso y tras materializar un torneo nacional excelso vuelve por sus fueros. Márquez junto a Odelín Molina, son los elementos más experimentados del plantel antillano con 5 participaciones en la Copa de Oro.
A pesar de las ausencias de futbolistas de experiencia internacional y de probada calidad técnica, el seleccionador nacional confía en el grupo de jugadores convocados y espera buenos resultados. La posible alineación titular para el debut ante Costa Rica podría mostrar a Odelín Molina en el arco, un sistema defensivo integrado por Aliannis Urgellés, Renay Malblanche, Jorge Luis Clavelo y Joel Colomé, el doble pivote de Jaine Colomé y Yenier Márquez, con Alberto Gómez y Ariel Martínez de extremos, Miguel Ángel Sánchez de mediapunta y Yoandri Puga como hombre gol.
Cuba y Costa Rica se han visto las caras en 5 ocasiones durante los últimos años en partidos clase A (eliminatorias mundialistas o Copa de Oro) en los que los ticos son notablemente superiores con balance de 4 éxitos y un empate. El balance de los cubanos en seis incursiones en la Copa de Oro es de una victoria, dos empates y 13 derrotas.
Posteriormente, los Estados Unidos también jugarán su primer partido de la Copa Oro 2013 al enfrentarse a Belice, por lo que el juego entre costarricenses y cubanos se torna importante para las aspiraciones de obtener un posible pasaje, contando con que los estadounidenses derroten a los beliceños.
Para el próximo 15 de julio, Cuba enfrentará a los Estados Unidos y cerrará el 18 de este mismo mes la primera fase contra Belice.
En el inicio del torneo, el domingo, México comenzó la defensa de su título con una derrota ante Panamá por 1-2 y Martinica dio la sorpresa al vencer a Canadá por 1-0 en el grupo A.
En el grupo B, Honduras inició con un triunfo por 2-0 sobre Haití su caminar por la Copa Oro, mientras que El Salvador empató ante Trinidad y Tobago por 2-2, con lo que los hondureños tomaron el liderato de su grupo con tres puntos, seguidos por El Salvador y Trinidad y Tobago con uno, y Haití en el fondo de la tabla sin unidades.

Haití vs. Honduras
La selección de Honduras, de la mano de su entrenador Luis Fernando Suárez, se apresta a debutar en la edición 2013 de Copa Oro, cuando este lunes 8 de julio se enfrente a Haití en partido válido por el grupo B.
Suárez ha confirmado la alineación de su equipo para enfrentar al equipo caribeño. La delantera será comandada por el último goleador del fútbol hondureño, Rony Martínez y el delantero del Olimpia, Roger Rojas.
Para Suárez el partido ante los haitianos no será tan fácil como muchos lo piensan, ya que estos (Haití) han tenido importantes fogueos ante Italia y España y se le ha visto bien.
Haití tiene lo suyo y no es un equipo fácil. El equipo caribeño es dirigido por el cubano Israel Blake. El ser sólidos y ordenados en su línea baja es una de sus características.

El Salvador vs. Trinidad y Tobago
La selección de El Salvador, dirigida por el técnico peruano Alberto Castillo, iniciará su participación en la Copa Oro 2013 enfrentando a Trinidad y Tobago.
En la historia de este torneo, el equipo cuscatleco nunca ha pasado la fase de grupos, por lo que el clasificar a los cuartos de final es el objetivo. Esta será la oportunidad para "La Selecta" de demostrar si ha evolucionado como equipo o será más de lo mismo.
El Salvador está integrado en el grupo B, junto a las selecciones de Honduras, Trinidad y Tobago y Haití.
Los dirigidos por "La Chochera" Castillo se comprometieron ha realizar un buen papel en el torneo, incluso manifestaron que buscarán el título. Palabras mayores para un equipo que no ha convencido a nadie en sus últimos partidos de fogueo.
Fue allí donde Castillo sacó apuntes y valoraciones que le permitieron identificar las fortalezas y debilidades que tiene su equipo, antes de enfrentar a triniteños, hondureños y haitianos.
Por su parte, Trinidad y Tobago, contará con la experiencia de jugadores como Densill Theobald, Carlos Edwards, Keon Daniel del Philadelphia Union, Cornell Glen y Kenwyne Jones.

Pasto Tolima
Un partido fundamental en la carrera hacia la final del fútbol colombiano disputarán este miércoles Itagüí y Nacional, en la quinta fecha del grupo B. Las esperanzas de ambos están latentes y por eso cada uno debe buscar un triunfo que lo deje cerca de la final, en la que ya está Santa Fe, pero también para evitar relegar sus posibilidades, dependiendo de lo que pase en el otro juego, entre Pasto y Tolima.
Los dos equipos antioqueños jugarán con necesidad, ya que ninguno puede darse el lujo de perder y, en el caso de Nacional, colero del grupo con 4 puntos, ni siquiera puede empatar, pues quedaría sin opciones, sin importar el resultado del otro juego.
El partido es de pronóstico reservado, dado que ninguno ha convencido en el cuadrangular: Itagüí perdió sus dos partidos de local y Nacional mantiene una irregularidad que lo tiene al borde de la eliminación.
Además, el antecedente más inmediato indica que las ‘águilas’ ya vencieron a los ‘verdolagas’ en el Atanasio Girardot, en la segunda fecha del cuadrangular. “Nacional tiene jerarquía y casta, pero Itagüí tiene también cosas muy importantes”, Ervin Maturana, jugador de Itagüí.
En el otro juego, Pasto y Tolima lucharán por los tres puntos que son imperiosos si no quieren esperar resultados en la última fecha del grupo B en caso de haber un ganador en el otro compromiso.
Una de las novedades en Pasto será el regreso al pórtico de Lucero Álvarez después de haber pagado una fecha de suspensión. Entre tanto, Tolima tendría como novedad una línea de tres en el fondo. Los dirigidos por Carlos Castro, quieren aprovechar su liderato.
“Pasto es un rival con jugadores importantes, pero confiamos en nuestro trabajo, dependemos de nosotros mismos, así que vamos a dar el todo por el todo”, finalizó Yimmi Chará.
