اتلتیک بیلبائو دوشنبه شب در لالیگا به دنبال تقویت آرزوهای خود در لیگ قهرمانان است، زیرا یک پیروزی می تواند آنها را به جمع چهار تیم برتر برساند. با این حال، اوساسونا پس از شکست در دو بازی قبلی خود در لیگ برتر اسپانیا، به دنبال بازگشت به زمین خواهد بود.
پیش نمایش لالیگا
نیم فصل اول برای اتلتیک بیلبائو بسیار خوب پیش رفت، اما هدف آنها برای فصل یا در نیم فصل دوم به دست خواهد آمد یا خیر. بیلبائو در این فصل حضور در لیگ قهرمانان اروپا را هدف قرار خواهد داد و آنها پس از پیروزی در 7 بازی از 15 بازی خود تا کنون، تمام شانس های رسیدن به این هدف را به خود داده اند. با این حال، آنها احتمالاً باید در نیمه دوم ثبات بیشتری داشته باشند، زیرا در پنج بازی قبلی خود فقط دو بار پیروز شده اند.
باشگاه باسکی هفته گذشته به بازی های داخلی بازگشت، زیرا نتوانست در تساوی 0-0 در دیدار مقابل رئال بتیس به موفقیت دست پیدا کند. این یک عملکرد کمی ناامید کننده در آن موقعیت بود، زیرا آنها موفق به ثبت یک شوت هم نشدند.
اوساسونا همچنین در جستجوی یک مقام اروپایی در لالیگا است، زیرا آنها در رده نهم قرار دارند. با این حال، با توجه به ماهیت رقابتی لیگ برتر اسپانیا در این دوره، آنها فقط 4 امتیاز با رتبه های لیگ قهرمانان فاصله دارند. اوساسونا قبل از استراحت برای جام جهانی در فرم بسیار خوبی قرار داشت، زیرا آنها دو برد از سه دوره قبلی خود را کسب کرده بودند.
اما آنها با شکستی همه جانبه در دیدار مقابل رئال سوسیداد در اسپانیا به میادین بازگشتند. اوساسونا علیرغم ثبت شوت های بیشتر و شوت های بیشتر به سمت دروازه در آن بازی با نتیجه 2-0 در زمین مغلوب شد. با این حال، اگر بخواهند مقابل بیلبائو پیروز شوند، باید بالینیتر باشند.
اتلتیک بیلبائو و اوساسونا رودررو
بیلبائو در برابر اوساسونا سه شکست بدون شکست را پشت سر گذاشته است که شامل بردهای متوالی نیز می شود. آخرین برد بیلبائو در ماه می با نتیجه 2-0 بود، در حالی که اوساسونا در دو دیدار قبلی خود از باشگاه باسکی بدون برد بوده است.
پیش بینی اتلتیک بیلبائو و اوساسونا
بیلبائو در بازگشت به لالیگا هفته گذشته چندان قابل توجه نبود، اما سطح آمادگی بازیکنان احتمالاً از آن زمان به بعد بالا رفته است. تیم میزبان رکورد بسیار خوبی در این دیدار دارد و شاید ارزش آن را داشته باشد که با آنها کنار بیاییم تا روز دوشنبه سومین پیروزی متوالی را مقابل اوساسونا کسب کنیم.

چلسی و رئال مادرید بعد از تساوی 1-1 عصر پنجشنبه در ورزشگاه آلفردو دی استفانو، گروه خود در لیگ قهرمانان اروپا را با آمادگی کامل ترک کردند.
پنالتی گورو رایتن در نیمه دوم، بازی نیمه اول کارولین ویر را در یک رقابت سخت خنثی کرد و به این معنی است که چلسی، رئال مادرید و پی اس جی هنوز هم از نظر ریاضی می توانند به عنوان برندگان گروه به مرحله یک چهارم نهایی راه پیدا کنند.
چلسی در صعود شروع کرد، سم کر از فاصله نزدیک دو دقیقه بعد از کرنر ارین کاتبرت که باعث تقلای دهانی دروازه شده بود، دروازه را شکست.
اما درست همانطور که دو هفته پیش در Kingsmeadow انجام داده بودند، رئال وارد بازی شد. اولگا کارمونای پر جنب و جوش، تلاشی را دید که از فاصله کمی به سمت بالا رفت، زیرا تیم اسپانیایی شروع به لذت بردن از مالکیت بیشتر در نیمه آبی ها کرد.
این 45 مورد اول نامناسب بود که با چرخش ها و انتقال های متعدد مشخص می شد. چلسی تقریباً از یک پاس اشتباه در عمق نیم ساعت رئال استفاده کرد، زیرا لورن جیمز توپ شل را برداشت و در کر لیز خورد. چلسی دوباره توسط چوب کاری ها رد شد و این بار پست را شکست.
میهمان مجبور شد تا فرصت های از دست رفته خود را بپردازد زیرا رئال شش دقیقه بعد از آن پیش افتاد. پاس بد آن-کاترین برگر در خط میانی توسط ویر قطع شد، او با پشتکار توپ را از لبه محوطه به پشت دروازه کوبید – دومین گل او در سه بازی مقابل حریف WSL از زمان خروج از لیگ در تابستان.
چلسی در دقیقه 14 نیمه دوم پس از اینکه گورو رایتن به طرز ناشیانه ای توسط ایوانا آندرس زمین خورده بود، یک فرصت طلایی به دست آورد تا بازی را به تساوی بکشاند. ضربه نقطه بعدی رایتن در تیرک دروازه به صدا در آمد، اما با ریباند وارد دروازه میسا رودریگز بدبخت شد.
بازی در 15 دقیقه پایانی کشیده تر و بازتر شد و برگر پس از خطای نیمه اول خود با یک سیو عالی، خود را جبران کرد تا کارمونا را از محدوده نقطه خالی دور نگه دارد.
نوبت میسا بود که یک توقف عالی داشته باشد، در حالی که ساعت پایین می آمد و فرصت دیگری برای کر شروع شد. دروازه بان رئال به طرز باشکوهی دراز کشید تا مهاجم چلسی را که به طرز فوق العاده ای توسط رایتن پیدا کرده بود، نگه دارد تا یک امتیاز برای تیمش حفظ کند.
کاتلن سوزا در قلب خط اصلی رئال شروع کرد / آنجل مارتینز / گتی ایماژ
GK: میسا رودریگز – 7/10 – متأسفانه دیدم که پنالتی ریتن پس از شیرجه زدن به روش صحیح از پشت سر او خارج شد. در مراحل آخر یک سیو فوقالعاده کششی انجام داد تا کر و یک امتیاز برای تیمش حفظ کند.
RB: ایوانا آندرس – 5/10 – وقتی رایتن پشت سرش قرار گرفت، توانایی خود را از دست داد و به طرز ناشیانه ای او را برای گل تساوی چلسی پایین آورد.
CB: Rocío Gálvez – 7/10 – ثابت و قابل اعتماد، به سختی پا را اشتباه گذاشته است.
CB: Kathellen – 6/10 – یک بلوک بزرگ برای حفظ جیمز در نیمه اول ایجاد کرد. رد کر را در چند مورد از دست داد و خوشبختانه مجازات نشد، اما در غیر این صورت تا حد زیادی محکم بود.
LB: اولگا کارمونا – 8/10 – واقعاً سرزنده و هجومی است، در هر فرصتی جلو می رود. در نیمه اول با فاصله بسیار کمی از زمین شلیک شد و در نیمه دوم با توقف عالی برگر رد شد.
CM: کلودیا زورنوزا – 5/10 – تلاش کرد تا پایش را روی توپ بگذارد و در یک بازی انتقالی، یک سری پاسها را به هم بزند. با 15 عدد باقی مانده جایگزین شد.
CM: Sandie Toletti – 7/10 – مالکیت توپ را مرتب کرد و رئال را از میانه میدان جلو انداخت.
CM: Caroline Weir – 7/10 – انتظار بزرگ برای باز کردن دروازه، قطع یک پاس ضعیف با اولین لمس او و ارسال توپ به دروازه خالی از لبه محوطه با ضربه دوم. سرتاسر کلاس تراوش کرد.
RW: Athenea Del Castillo – 6/10 – یک نبرد واقعی با اریکسون داشتیم، چند خطای کم هزینه انجام دادیم و واقعا مدافع کناری چلسی را ناامید کرد. در نیمه دوم مقابل چارلز شادی کمتری داشت.
ST: Esther – 5/10 – به خوبی توسط برایت و بوکانان مارشال شد و واقعاً بویی نداشت. درست بعد از ساعت تعویض شد.
LW: Naomie Feller – 5/10 – در جناح چپ توسط کارمونا که پشت سر او بود، او را فراگرفت. تا حد زیادی ساکت ماند.
ساب: سوفی سواوا (62 دقیقه برای استر) – 6/10
SUB: Maite Oroz (دقیقه 76 برای زورنوزا) – 5/10
ساب: ناهیکاری گارسیا (دقیقه 89 برای فلر) – N/A
لورن جیمز به ترکیب اصلی چلسی بازگشت / تصاویر ورزشی با کیفیت / گتی ایماژ
GK: Ann-Katrin Berger – 5/10 – مادیان برای دروازه رئال داشت، تلاش خطرناکی برای بازی در خط هافبک و دیدن پاس او توسط ویر در لبه منطقه قطع شد. خطای او را با یک سیو بزرگ جبران کرد تا کارمونا در نیمه دوم از بازی خارج شود.
RB: Jess Carter – 6/10 – یک نبرد واقعاً سرسخت با کارمونای چشمگیر داشت – مدافع کناری رئال چند بار در نیمه دوم از او برتری پیدا کرد، اما در غیر این صورت رقابت بسیار مساوی بین این دو بود.
CB: Millie Bright – 7/10 – چندین مهار مهم انجام داد و استر را در کنار بوکانان پنهان نگه داشت.
CB: Kadeisha Buchanan – 7/10 – با یک بلوک بزرگ برای دور نگه داشتن ویر در نیمه اول ظاهر شد و در هوا پیروز شد.
LB: ماگدالنا اریکسون – 5/10 – با دل کاستیلو یک شکست واقعی داشتم، در نیمه اول به دلیل راحتی که وینگر رئال به عرشه برخورد کرد، به طور فزاینده ای ناامید شد. زیاد جلو نرفت و چارلز هجومی تر در وقت استراحت جایگزین شد.
CM: سوفی اینگل – 7/10 – پشت سر رایتن با یک پاس فوقالعاده بالا رفت تا گل تساوی چلسی به ثمر برسد. یکی از باحال ترین سرها در یک برخورد گاه نامنظم.
CM: Erin Cuthbert – 6/10 – در نیمه اول تلاش کرد تا اقتدار خود را در بازی تثبیت کند زیرا مالکیت توپ مدام دست به دست می شد. نمایش نیمه دوم بهبود یافته، با توانایی او در رساندن توپ به سه تیم جلویی را تحت تاثیر قرار داد.
CM: Jessie Fleming – 4/10 – در مواقعی تلاش میکرد تا توپ را در دست بگیرد و نشانی از او در روند بازی بگذارد. تا حد زیادی گرسنه از سرویس و در حاشیه بازی، قبل از تعویض در نیمه.
RW: لورن جیمز – 7/10 – در نیمه اول با یک پاس بی عیب و نقص با کر بازی کرد که چلسی باید از آن گل می زد. با پاهای فوق العاده، قدرت و هوش او با کیفیت می درخشد.
ST: Sam Kerr – 5/10 – میله را در دو دقیقه از فاصله نزدیک شکست، زمانی که یک در مقابل یک در نقطه نیم ساعت بود به تیرک برخورد کرد و توسط میسا سیو در مراحل پایانی رد شد – فرصت هایی که معمولاً او را دفن می کرد.
LW: Guro Reiten – 7/10 – پنالتی را برد که چلسی از آن به تساوی رسید. با تلاش او پست را شکست، که همچنان از طریق سر میسا وارد شد. زایمان او مثل همیشه درست بود. بازی کنایهآور فوقالعادهای انجام داد، توپی را که روی دروازه میچرخید، التماس میکرد که او را دفن کنند و کر را با یک توپ فوقالعاده در مراحل آخر انتخاب کنند.
ساب: نیام چارلز (دقیقه 46 برای اریکسون) – 7/10 – با سرعت، ورزشکاری و عزم خود از روی نیمکت تاثیر واقعی گذاشت.
ساب: فرن کربی (دقیقه 46 برای فلمینگ) – 6/10
ساب: یوهانا رایتینگ کانرید (دقیقه 77 برای جیمز) – 5/10
The strangest thing about the response to USC hiring Lincoln Riley a year ago had nothing to do with the school itself. Riley was a home run. That much was obvious, and the only question seemed to be when he’d revive the Trojans program, not if. No, the real twist was in the way it was celebrated as a win for the entire Pac-12, a league so desperate for national relevancy that, even if its best team made a hire likely to upend the power structure of the rest of the conference, it was still a communal celebration. It was a win for everyone because, after years inhabiting college football purgatory, the Pac-12 would again have a chance for top billing.
On Saturday, Riley and the Trojans delivered on that promise.
It’s not that USC’s ticket to the College Football Playoff is punched just yet. There’s still the small matter of a conference championship game that awaits. But with the 38-27 win over Notre Dame in a prime-time game in which the entire college football world was focused, there was a clear feeling that something seismic had changed.
Alabama’s playoff hopes are on life support.
Clemson’s playoff hopes ended with a loss to South Carolina on Saturday.
Ohio State was dealt a potentially fatal blow by rival Michigan in emphatic fashion, too.
Oklahoma and Notre Dame, two of the other teams with as many playoff berths alone as the Pac-12 has as a league, have long since been afterthoughts.
And so here we have USC, the feel-good story of the season.
Well, maybe.
The truth is, USC may have stepped into a far more interesting role with its dominant win over the Irish. In a year in which Clemson, Alabama and Oklahoma didn’t dominate the headlines, on a Saturday when Ohio State lost to Michigan for the second straight year and Brian Kelly, despised by thousands of fans who can’t quite articulate why, got his comeuppance against Texas A&M, the college football villainy vacuum was never so clear.
Enter the Trojans.
Caleb Williams throws for one touchdown and rushes for three in a impressive performance as USC defeats Notre Dame 38-27.
The narrative certainly fits. After all, this is a team built with a checkbook, luring Riley from Oklahoma, who in turn, lured a host of key players via the transfer portal (with some help from hefty NIL deals) to completely transform the roster after a 4-8 campaign just a year ago. It’s a program poised to shrug off a century of history to chase money in the Big Ten, possibly destroying the Pac-12 in the process. It’s a team that rose up the rankings despite a soft schedule and zero particularly impressive wins until a week ago.
Want to root against somebody in a year in which Alabama and Clemson and Ohio State don’t warrant that type of attention? USC sure makes for a perfect bad guy. And make no mistake, college football loves a bad guy. To be the heel is not a slight. It’s an honor that’s earned only by teams that can command genuine ire on a national stage.
The only problem with this theory is that, once USC stats playing, the Trojans are awfully hard to dislike, and Saturday was a perfect example of why.
Quarterback Caleb Williams might be the most riveting player in the sport right now. He’s college football’s closest thing to Patrick Mahomes — though perhaps that’s not even a proper comparison. He’s more like the dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov, his every move feeling both perfectly executed and entirely improvised. He pinballed off Notre Dame pass-rushers repeatedly Saturday, even his incompletions generating as much edge-of-your-seat excitement as most QBs muster with a 50-yard bomb. He finished with four touchdowns.
Without Travis Dye, USC’s ground game still ran roughshod over a ferocious Notre Dame front, with Austin Jones going for 154 yards. Yes, USC lured Mario Williams and Jordan Addison into the fold via the transfer portal, but Williams actually completed passes to nine different receivers Saturday. There is an absolute wealth of riches in the receiving corps.
And the defense — the maligned unit that nearly coughed up a lead to UCLA a week ago — looked fantastic. In USC’s loss to the Utah Utes on Oct. 15, it was tight end Dalton Kincaid who did the bulk of the damage, catching 16 passes for 234 yards. Surely USC would have its hands full with Michael Mayer then, right?
Mayer had a fine game — 8 catches, 98 yards and 2 touchdowns — but he hardly dictated the action, and for most of the second half he was a mirage. His last touchdown came as USC looked to simply run out the clock.
Notre Dame’s power run game, strong tight end play, stout defense — it’s the poor man’s version of what Georgia and Michigan offer, and it proved no match for USC. How fun might these Trojans be in the playoff then?
And in the end, isn’t that worth rooting for?
We’ve seen so many semifinal blowouts, so many mismatched games, so few truly interesting matchups in the playoff and such a small regional footprint for the biggest games. But whether you love them or hate them, the Trojans are most certainly interesting. More important than that, Saturday proved that this USC team is really good.
Michigan beats Ohio State with style and brazenness
The beauty of the showdown Saturday between No. 2 Ohio State and No. 3 Michigan is that it was not simply a matchup of playoff contenders in a heated rivalry game, but such a stark contrast in styles.
Ohio State is the sports car, all flash and speed with more skill position talent than the average Big Ten team has in a decade.
Michigan is a Jeep, a rugged machine designed for brute force. The Wolverines win not by sprinting past opponents, but by running over them.
And if that had been the script that played out Saturday — and, for much of the first half, it was — the Buckeyes might be headed to the Big Ten title game.
Instead, Jim Harbaugh’s team showed it’s far from a one-trick pony. On Saturday, Michigan was Meryl Streep, effortlessly slipping into a new role, cast against type and playing the part perfectly.
In the end, of course, Michigan still ran the ball for 252 yards, forced two Ohio State turnovers and held the Buckeyes to 5-of-17 on third and fourth downs, but that was simply the denouement. Michigan won through the air, through style, pizzazz and an almost comical level of brazenness from Harbaugh that he has rarely shown in the course of his coaching career.
Blake Corum suited up, but he touched the ball just twice in the game. Instead, Michigan relied on quarterback J.J. McCarthy to deliver the big plays.
Back in September, Harbaugh gambled on McCarthy as his starter, benching the QB who took the Wolverines to the College Football Playoff in 2021, Cade McNamara, in favor of the more versatile sophomore. For much of the season, the gamble paid minimal dividends, with McCarthy deferring to his run game in a series of entirely formulaic wins against lesser opponents, like a poker player checking again and again waiting for just the right hand to go all-in.
Saturday, McCarthy was dealt one ace after another.
Entering the game, Michigan had just 12 completions of 30 yards or more all year. Against Ohio State, McCarthy delivered four of them, including touchdown throws of 69, 75 and 45.
And if McCarthy’s shredding of an overmatched Ohio State secondary wasn’t enough, Michigan used its linebacker-turned-running back to throw a 15-yard jump pass on third down in what was less a play call and more akin to slipping a whoopee cushion onto Ryan Day’s seat just as he sat down for Thanksgiving dinner. It was designed to embarrass as much as to succeed. Such is the beauty of a rivalry like this one.
Indeed, it was bad enough that even Michigan’s punter was dunking on the Buckeyes.
– Weather was nice – We were taken seriously – They didn’t have the flu
Perhaps as shocking as Michigan’s role reversal on offense was the way Ohio State simply cashed in its chips down the stretch. The Buckeyes mustered just three points in the second half, turned the ball over twice and watched as Michigan’s Donovan Edwards reeled off touchdown runs of 75 and 85 yards on consecutive drives. Had Ohio State kept the game close, fought to the end, took Michigan to the brink — perhaps there’d still be a reasonable case to put the Buckeyes into the College Football Playoff.
Instead, the epitaph on their season will read, “Lost by 22 at home to that team up north.”
It’s hard to know what this means in the bigger picture for Michigan. Last year, the Wolverines made the playoff, but their fate always felt all but assured, a sacrificial lamb just happy to live long enough to get a free trip to South Beach before getting whipped by Georgia.
Saturday showed something more to the 2022 incarnation though. While Day punted away chances to close the gap in the second half, Harbaugh seemed like a hedge fund manager on a heater at a Vegas craps table — all gas, no brakes, tipping the waitress with $100 bills on every fresh glass of 2% milk she brings (which is what we assume Harbaugh would be drinking in Vegas). While Ohio State was unable to maneuver the foothills in its souped-up sports car, Michigan showed it can sling it around the field, then run it down your throat. And while the Buckeyes were knocked from their place atop the list of contenders for Georgia’s throne, Michigan may well have delivered a statement that reverberates beyond Big Ten country. This team is for real.
Gamecocks ice the ACC
There was a time, two whole weeks ago, when the South Carolina offense was a mess. This was a different era, of course, back before our long national nightmare waiting for Taylor Swift tickets and well before Matt Rhule could locate Nebraska on a map. Many people had only seen “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” twice. So much has changed since then.
Back in those dark days of mid-November, South Carolina was embarrassed by Florida 38-6 and its offense was in shambles.
But now, the Gamecocks have the hottest offense in the country and Spencer Rattler suddenly looks like … well, 2020 Spencer Rattler.
After throttling No. 5 Tennessee 63-38 last week, the Gamecocks put on an encore performance by toppling No. 8 Clemson for the first time since 2013, 31-30, and effectively ending the ACC’s playoff hopes in the process.
South Carolina’s special teams recover the fumble to regain control in final minutes.
Rattler was dazzling again, completing 25 of 39 passes for 360 yards and two touchdowns while adding a third on the ground.
Clemson’s DJ Uiagalelei, on the other hand, was a mess, completing 8 of 29 throws, as the Tigers turned the ball over three times while wasting a 14-0 lead.
Will Shipley ran for 132 yards on the ground, but had just two carries on Clemson’s final four drives.
Now, the ACC championship game will feature two teams that both lost their rivalry games to close out the year, with North Carolina losing to NC State 30-27 Friday night in double overtime.
South Carolina, on the other hand, will wrap the regular season with a likely top-25 ranking and enough cachet to warrant some serious buzz heading into their bowl and beyond. The Gamecocks won eight regular-season games for the first time since 2017 and snapped a seven-game losing streak to the Tigers — handing Dabo Swinney his first home loss in 41 games to boot.
TCU makes playoff statement
The playoff committee has spent the past few weeks pointing out all the flaws in TCU’s game. The Horned Frogs just haven’t won impressively enough to wow anyone.
On Saturday, however, Sonny Dykes basically held the severed head of Cy the Cardinal aloft and yelled, “Are you not entertained?”
TCU destroyed Iowa State 62-14 behind three touchdown passes from Max Duggan and a defense that forced three turnovers and scored twice.
It was TCU’s first win by more than 10 points since beating Oklahoma by 31 on Oct. 1, and it sealed a perfect regular season for the Horned Frogs, who’ll move on to the Big 12 title game with a chance to force their way into the College Football Playoff — unless of course the committee finds that a 48-point win over the last-place Big 12 team isn’t as impressive as a 22-point loss to Michigan. Got to appreciate those quality losses, and frankly, it’s a real knock on TCU that it doesn’t have any of them.
Indeed, here’s the very definition of irony: What if TCU loses the Big 12 title game next week, then is passed by Ohio State in the committee’s final rankings?
That would mean that the Horned Frogs lost out on a playoff berth to Ohio State in 2014 because the Big 12 didn’t play a title game … then lost out on a playoff berth to Ohio State in 2022 because it did.
Rivalry roundup
It’s rivalry weekend. So, how did some of the less competitive rivalry games go? We’ve got you covered with a full rundown.
Iron Bowl: Alabama 49, Auburn 27
Scene: Clenching a glass of scotch and sweating nervously, Boo Corrigan stares out the window of his room at the Gaylord Hotel, where the playoff committee is set to meet one final time.
Below, a low fog hangs over a graveyard. Lightning flashes. A thunder crash booms.
Suddenly, the ground begins to move. From the fresh dirt bursts a clenched fist with championship rings on every finger.
“My God,” Corrigan gasps. “It can’t be.”
Into the moonlight, the visage is clear. It’s him. He lives.
OK, so it’s still a long shot, but we’re not writing off Nick Saban. The man is indestructible.
As a side note: Bryce Young belongs in New York for the Heisman Trophy ceremony. He won’t win it, but he has been incredible.
The rivalry formerly known as the Civil War: Oregon State 38, Oregon 34
Oregon led this game 34-17 with 13 minutes to play.
Oregon State led by four with eight minutes to play and never looked back.
How is this possible? It was a sheer comedy of errors. There was the 43-yard run Oregon allowed that set up a critical third-quarter TD. There was the Ducks settling for a field goal after having the ball with first-and-goal at the 10. There was the huge kick return and face mask penalty that set up another Beavers touchdown. There was the fumble at the 2 recovered by Oregon State. There was the failed fourth-and-1 conversion that gave Oregon State the ball back again deep in Ducks territory.
But more than anything, there was this guy. He isn’t the hero Oregon State deserved. He’s the hero it needed.
Will Levis threw two touchdown passes and the Wildcats won the Governor’s Cup for the fourth straight year — all by double digits. What this means for Scott Satterfield’s future at Louisville will be the big question for Cardinals fans, but the more important question for everyone else: How is the trophy for this game not just an oversized bottle of Pappy Van Winkle?
Georgia Tech scored on its first possession and led this game well into the second quarter. By any reasonable metric, that’s a huge success. (Note: Actually winning this game would’ve been an unreasonable metric.) Meanwhile, Georgia can now fully turn its attention to the SEC championship game, where Stetson Bennett can accomplish the one thing he has yet to do in his career.
Old Oaken Bucket: Purdue 30, Indiana 16
The Boilermakers secured a trip to the Big Ten championship game with the win Saturday. Purdue is unranked. Purdue in its history has nine wins as an unranked team against top-two opponents, more than double any other program in the country. Purdue will play a likely second-ranked Michigan next week. What could go wrong?
Land of Lincoln Trophy: Illinois 41, Northwestern 3
Remember when Northwestern stunned Nebraska in Week 0? The Wildcats scored 31 in that game. They didn’t top 24 in another game all season. In the month of November, Northwestern scored a grand total of 22 points. Maybe we shouldn’t have been making fun of Iowa all this time. The Hawkeyes are the 2000 St. Louis Rams compared with Northwestern.
Paul Bunyan’s Axe: Minnesota 23, Wisconsin 16
What to make of Minnesota’s season? The advanced metrics loved the Gophers all year. Actually winning games, however, was difficult. After a 4-0 start, Minnesota topped 23 points just twice — against Rutgers and Northwestern. But the Gophers did close out the regular season on a high note Saturday, winning the axe for a second straight season after Wisconsin had dominated the rivalry for much of the previous 25 years. As a side note, we appreciate all rivalry trophies that can also be used to fell a tree. More schools should consider getting trophies from Home Depot.
Land Grant Trophy: Penn State 35, Michigan State 16
Penn State won easily, allowing the Nittany Lions to celebrate with a trophy that is actually just a bunch of things Joe Paterno once found in an old storage unit that he stuck together using a glue stick and duct tape. Anyway, the important thing here is the Nittany Lions are now 10-2 and officially count as a good win for Ohio State as it makes its case to still be invited into the playoff.
The Eighth Overtime Cup: Texas A&M 38, LSU 23
OK, we made that name up, but after the 2018 seven-overtime game between these two teams, it feels appropriate. Instead of a trophy for the winner, Jimbo Fisher’s nephew can just sucker punch the losing coach. There’s a lot of potential here. Let’s keep workshopping.
On the field, the Aggies pulled off the stunning upset behind 215 yards and two touchdowns from Devon Achane, who has essentially been like Paul McCartney in Wings this season. He’s a generational talent. Everyone else? A bunch of session musicians. Still, it was the right combination to topple the Bayou Bengals, whose playoff hopes were nixed in the loss. Will this result in a three-year contract extension for Jimbo Fisher? Jimmy Sexton is making some calls as we speak.
The (other) Governor’s Cup: Kansas State 47, Kansas 27
The Wildcats punched their ticket to the Big 12 title game, where they’ll look for a little revenge against TCU. Deuce Vaughn finished with 229 yards of offense, Will Howard threw for two touchdowns, and the K-State offense had more than 200 yards passing and rushing.
But let’s take a moment here to recall that, at one point, Kansas was 5-0. “College GameDay” went to Lawrence. The world felt like a safer, better place. In the end, Kansas finishes the regular season at 6-6, which feels like a disappointment after the hot start. But it’s actually immense progress for a team that was incredibly fun all season long and one that has genuine cause for optimism moving forward. Somewhere, a now-grown Baby Mangino is thinking of starting a family of his own, knowing he might have a little baby Lance Leipold one day. And all will be right with the world once more.
The no-name rivalry: Tennessee 56, Vanderbilt 0
How have these schools had 130 years to come up with a good name for this game and it’s never happened? At the very least, the winner should get possession of the Sun Sphere. This year, thankfully, the sphere stays in Knoxville, as Tennessee dominated in its first game without Hendon Hooker, relying on a ground game that accounted for 362 yards and six touchdowns. If Tennessee hadn’t fallen apart against South Carolina last week, the Vols’ playoff hopes would actually be looking pretty strong right now. Meanwhile, after winning back-to-back SEC games, Vandy was back to being Vandy. But we feel confident that Clark Lea’s promise that the Commodores would be the best team in the country will come to fruition next year.
Apple Cup: Washington 51, Washington State 33
In another year, with less high-profile competition, perhaps at a school enough of the country stayed up to watch, Michael Penix Jr. would be a Heisman contender. The Washington QB continued his prolific season with more than 500 yards of offense and five touchdowns in a win over Washington State. It was Penix’s third game with 400 yards passing and his 10th with more than 300 yards through the air (while ending another at 298). Penix led Washington to 704 yards of offense against the conference’s best defense. The Huskies look like a top-10 team.
Beyond the implications in Washington, the win — combined with Oregon’s loss and Utah’s routing of Colorado — means the Utes will go to the Pac-12 championship game for a rematch with USC. The Trojans would be a clear-cut playoff team if they were to avenge their lone loss (which came on a 2-point conversion), but they’ll need to find an answer for Cameron Rising, Dalton Kincaid and the Utes’ explosive offense.
There’s also this: The Pac-12 has six teams with nine wins or more and can make a reasonable case as the nation’s best conference (as long as you pay absolutely no attention to Colorado).
Heisman Five
What had been a wide-open race for so much of the season now seems down to one guy: Caleb Williams. The rest of the pack is still deep and talented, but each has run into rough waters at some point, but Williams keeps plugging along. As good as some of his competition might be, it’s hard to argue that he’s not been the most entertaining player in college football this year.
1. USC QB Caleb Williams
Not only is Williams the clear favorite to win the Heisman now, but he’s quickly building a case as the best of the Lincoln Riley winners, too.
Through 12 games in 2017, Baker Mayfield had 4,342 yards, 42 touchdowns and 5 turnovers.
Through 12 games in 2018, Kyler Murray had 4,527 yards, 48 touchdowns and 9 turnovers.
Through 12 games this year, Williams has 4,063 yards, 44 touchdowns and 3 turnovers.
One more game left to go before the trophy is handed out, but ultimately, that debate might come down to what happens after.
Caleb Williams does a great job to keep the play alive for the completion, tops it off with a TD run later in the drive and then strikes the Heisman pose.
2. Ohio State QB C.J. Stroud
Stroud threw for 349 yards and two touchdowns Saturday, but he also threw two picks and, for the second straight year, lost to rival Michigan. Stroud’s case for the Heisman is still a good one, but without a chance to play one more game on a championship stage, it’s hard to imagine he can overcome Williams for the top spot.
3. Texas RB Bijan Robinson
He has been off the national radar for much of the season, but there’s no question at this point that Robinson is among the game’s best players. His 179 yards and two touchdowns in the win over Baylor put Texas in position to make the Big 12 title game Friday, and he’s hit 100 yards in nine of his past 10 games. In fairness, it does feel weird to write nice things about Texas, but that’s just how good Robinson is.
4. Alabama QB Bryce Young
Where would Alabama be this year without Young? His 2022 candidacy feels much like Jameis Winston in 2014 or Lamar Jackson in 2017 — gritty, smart, entirely impressive, but just not as magical as the preceding year. A lot of that can be pinned on a lesser supporting cast and a midseason injury though, and the ultimate takeaway remains that Young is just an incredibly impressive quarterback and worthy of a spot in New York.
5. TCU QB Max Duggan
There’s something rewarding about a Heisman finalist who opened the season on the bench. That could certainly be the story for Duggan, who threw for three more touchdowns in Saturday’s win over Iowa State that secured an undefeated regular season for TCU, and it would give hope to all of the rest of us spending time on life’s bench, knowing that Heisman contenders can blossom after Week 1 and guys who write snarky college football columns every Saturday don’t often reach their peak until their mid-50s.
Under-the-radar game of the day
So maybe UTSA’s comeback against UTEP didn’t carry the same significance on the national stage as the Oregon State win over Oregon, but it was still pretty wild.
UTEP scored on its first four possessions to go up 24-0. Then UTSA decided to play.
The Roadrunners scored on a 65-yard Frank Harris TD pass, got a pick-six, then scored on their first three drives of the second half to tie the game at 31.
Among the ridiculousness of the frenetic comeback was this wild — or perhaps really smart — play that turned a big gain for UTEP into a drive that ended with a punt.
Game might have turned on the smartest (?) personal foul ever.
UTEP QB runs for 45 yards. Grabs defender’s facemask at end. No big deal, right? Still gained 30. But UTSA defender then grabs horse collar, which is an offsetting penalty. Whole play is wiped out.
UTEP still had a shot to retake the lead, setting up shop with a first down at the UTSA 14, but Calvin Brownholtz tossed his second INT of the game to end the drive.
In the end, UTSA drilled a 28-yard field goal as time expired, sending the Roadrunners to their 10th win of the season.
Under-the-radar play of the day
Nate Cox’s final throw of Nevada’s 27-22 loss to UNLV had more drama than most (but notably, not all) Siegfried and Roy shows.
First off, were you aware that there’s a rivalry trophy for the winner of the Nevada-UNLV game each year? It seems redundant since Las Vegas is the entertainment capital of the world and Reno is a place to find a cheap steak and dispose of evidence, so no trophy could matter all that much in determining which campus is better. But alas, here we are.
In any case, this year’s installment of the Wayne Newton Trophy* came down to the final drive, and Nevada nearly pulled off the type of miracle 90-year-old chain-smoking women dream of while playing the nickel slots.
(*Note: OK, we made that up. The actual trophy is a life-sized rendering of the Blue Man Group playing rock, paper, scissors mounted atop Celine Dion’s original tour bus.**)
(**Note: OK, we made that one up, too. The real trophy is called The Fremont Cannon and was once used by the mafia to fend off a hit outside the Golden Nugget.***)
Nevada trailed 27-16 with less than seven minutes to play but engineered a 12-play, 75-yard touchdown drive that included a fourth-and-5 conversion to pull to within 27-22.
UNLV’s ensuing drive went nowhere, and the Rebels punted.
Nevada got the ball back with 2:05 remaining, managed 12 plays and had a shot at the game winner on a fourth-and-1 from the UNLV 5 with 7 seconds to go. Nate Cox’s pass to Jamaal Bell looked like a possible completion — with one official signaling touchdown and another waving it off — but in the end, the call was incomplete, and UNLV hung on for a 27-22 win.
(***Note: OK, we don’t know if the cannon was used by the mafia either.)
Freeze ends cold
Liberty opened the year 8-1, its lone loss coming on a failed 2-point try against Wake Forest.
Since then, however, the wheels have come off, and Hugh Freeze appears to still be flying down the highway, rims sparking, bumper hanging off, en route to Auburn.
If the Freeze era at Liberty is over, there might be a real argument that this departure, following a 49-14 loss to New Mexico State, is even more embarrassing than the one at Ole Miss.
Freeze is in talks to take the vacant head-coaching job at Auburn, which three weeks ago might’ve seemed a home run hire for the Tigers.
Now? Well, hard to blame Freeze for the result Saturday. New Mexico State had only beaten one FBS team by 35 or more in the past 20 years, so clearly the Aggies were due.
Saturday was the cherry on top of the embarrassment sundae Liberty has enjoyed the past three weeks. First came a loss to UConn, getting the Huskies bowl-eligible for the first time since the Taft administration (Note: We didn’t fact-check that, but it feels right). Then came a loss to a 2-8 Virginia Tech team that hadn’t won since mid-September. And now, an absolute demolition by New Mexico State.
Of course, there’s a lot more that will go into Auburn’s ultimate decision than just three mostly meaningless games. The important thing on The Plains is to ensure the Tigers get a coach who will happily collect a $40 million buyout in 2025.
The most college football thing to happen Saturday
New Hampshire won its first-round game in the FCS playoffs 52-42 against Fordham, and tailback Dylan Laube got to celebrating early.
Laube’s 87-yard touchdown run in the first quarter put UNH up 7-0, but he didn’t bother with the full 87 before high-fiving teammate Brian Espanet, who was trailing him down the field.
This is a far better way to celebrate than the now entirely derivative fake hamstring pull. But here’s an even better idea: a high-five heading into the end zone but then tuck your arm inside your jersey and make it seem like the high-five was so emphatic, your arm fell completely off. We’ve done that with toddlers and it always kills.
Big bets and bad beats
Clemson closed as a 14.5-point favorite against South Carolina on Saturday, which should’ve been a sure thing for the Tigers. Dabo Swinney was 62-1 straight up when favored by two touchdowns or more. Alas, the Gamecocks don’t care about history. They only care about melting faces and covering spreads. South Carolina won outright, a money line payout of +430.
One bettor dropped $753,535 on a money line bet on Ohio State at -315. That wasn’t all that smart.
Largest reported Michigan-Ohio St game: $753,535 Buckeyes moneyline (-315). Bet was placed Friday in New Jersey with @WynnBET. It would win $239,214.
Michigan’s win will make for a lot of rough Sunday mornings in Ohio, and at least one in Las Vegas.
Trailing 31-10, Oregon State’s hopes of beating rival Oregon seemed slim. Vegas agreed. The live odds on the game topped out at +2500 at Caesars Sportsbook, meaning a $100 bet on the Beavers to win would’ve paid $2,500. And that’s exactly what happened, as Oregon State erased a 17-point deficit in five minutes of action in the fourth quarter and won 38-34, giving any bettors who still had faith a nice payday.
After next week’s championship games, the College Football Playoff committee will determine the best teams in the country. But bettors don’t need to wait that long to know who the most profitable teams of the season were.
Based on closing lines, Oregon State and Tulane both delivered big results for backers this season, going 10-2 against the spread. TCU (9-2-1), Penn State (9-3), UConn (9-3), Ohio (9-3) and Tennessee (9-3) also paid solid dividends.
On the flip side, if you were looking to fade a team, you couldn’t have done better than Miami or Colorado, each of whom finished 2-10 against the spread this year. Nothing goes with a miserable season quite like losing cash for anyone who believed in you.
And when it came to betting totals, no one was a safer bet than the Kentucky Wildcats, who went under the number in 11 of 12 games this season. Houston handled the opposite end of the spectrum, hitting the over in 10 of 12 games.
ریکی پونتینگ به دومین بزرگ استرالیایی تبدیل شد که خواستار خلع ید پت کامینز از سمت T20 استرالیا شد.
کامینز در سه بازی جام جهانی در بهترین حالت خود نبوده است، اما در آخرین بازی استرالیا، پیروزی برابر ایرلند در دوشنبه شب، بهترین ارقام خود را در مسابقات به دست آورد.
سرنوشت استرالیا از دست خودش خارج شده است تا روز جمعه در آخرین بازی مرحله گروهی خود مقابل افغانستان قرار گیرد و به لطف سریلانکا در برابر انگلیس نیاز دارد.
قهرمانان فعلی به یک پیروزی بزرگ در برابر افغانستان نیاز دارند تا نرخ خالص بدی را که ناشی از پنهان شدن آنها در افتتاحیه جام جهانی به دست نیوزلند بود، افزایش دهند، و پونتینگ خواستار تغییر وضعیتی شد که منجر به تبرئه شدن کامینز شود.
پونتینگ گفت: “اگر فینچ آماده باشد، اینجاست که تصمیم بزرگ باید گرفته شود.” “در آدلاید بیضی، آیا شما یک اسپینر را کنار می گذارید و یک بازیکن همه کاره دیگر بازی می کنید؟ آیا یکی از سریع های خط مقدم را کنار می گذارید و از بولینگ گرین برای تقویت ضربه زدن خود استفاده می کنید؟
به هر حال بولینگ گرین با بسیاری از آن بچه ها قابل مقایسه است و آنها ممکن است این تجمل را داشته باشند که یک بتمن اضافی را بازی کنند و شاید بگذارند گرین به اوج برود و کاملاً از بین برود، یا از او به عنوان شناور در سطح متوسط در جایی استفاده کنند.
“اگر آنها به خروج سریع فکر می کنند و واضح است که این تصمیم برای انتخاب کنندگان سخت خواهد بود، اما اگر آنها به این فکر می کنند، شاید این کامینز باشد که بیرون می رود و گرین وارد می شود.
“از هر راهی که بروند باید ریسک واقعی را بپذیرند و [throw] به باد احتیاط کنید و سعی کنید آن بازی را تا جایی که می توانند سریع و راحت ببرند.”
اولین بازی از پنج بازی لیگ قهرمانان اروپا سه شنبه شب در سراسر اروپا برگزار شد که نتایج خوبی برای تعدادی از تیم ها به همراه داشت.
رئال مادرید، چلسی، پاری سن ژرمن، منچسترسیتی، یوونتوس و غیره همه در برنامه بودند.
در اینجا خلاصه ای از تمام اقدامات را در نظر بگیرید …
ردبول سالزبورگ 1-2 چلسی
چلسی با پیروزی در اولین بازی گراهام پاتر در هدایت آبی ها، جایگاه خود را در مرحله حذفی لیگ قهرمانان اروپا تضمین کرد. و دقیقاً مانند بازی معکوس، بازی از همان سوت اول به خوبی رقابت کرد.
ردبول سالزبورگ در داخل یک ردبول آرنا پرهیاهو تجمع کرد و چلسی را تحت فشار قرار داد، اما تیم میهمان به خوبی پاسخ داد و با استفاده از متئو کواچیچ، شایسته برتری بود.
آن گل ابتدایی برای الهام بخشیدن به تیم پاتر کافی بود تا به طور قابل توجهی به سطوح بالاتر برود و سالزبورگ را با عملکرد شیک نیمه اول شکست دهد. میزبان دوباره پس از استراحت برگشت، اما چلسی مقاومت نشان داد تا با برنده کای هاورتز از خط عبور کند.
دیناموزاگرب 0-4 آث میلان
آث میلان از شکست سالزبورگ در اوایل عصر نهایت استفاده را برد و به لطف پیروزی جامع مقابل دیناموزاگرب در کرواسی به رده دوم جدول رده بندی صعود کرد.
اگرچه آنها اندکی کمتر توپ را دیدند، اما روسونری شایسته پیروزی یک طرفه بودند و در مراحل پایانی نیمه اول با ضربه سر متئو گابیا از فاصله نزدیک پیش افتادند. سپس میلان در نیمه دوم، ابتدا توسط رافائل لیائو، سپس 10 دقیقه بعد توسط اولیویه ژیرو از ورزش پنالتی، و دقیقا 10 دقیقه دیگر از طریق یک گل به خودی، گل ها را به ثمر رساند.
میلان به سادگی باید از شکست مقابل سالزبورگ در خانه در روز ششم خودداری کند و آنها در مرحله حذفی حضور خواهند داشت. حضور قبلی آنها در یک شانزدهم نهایی در سال 2014 بود.
سلتیک 1-1 شاختار دونتسک
سلتیک با تساوی خانگی مقابل شاختار دونتسک به اندازه کافی خوب نبود تا آنها را در قعر گروه قرار ندهد.
قهرمان اسکاتلند در نیمه اول توسط جورجیوس جیاکوماکیس پیش افتاد. اگر آنها ادامه میدادند، با شاختار که در روز ششم بازی میرفتند، امتیازشان را به یک سطح میرساندند. همانطور که بود، Mykhaylo Mudryk در نیمه دوم کار را به تساوی کشاند تا اطمینان حاصل شود که نتیجه مساوی به پایان می رسد.
در بدترین حالت، حضور شاختار در مرحله حذفی لیگ اروپا تضمین شده است. اما اگر در روز ششم RB Laipzig را شکست دهند، به دور بعدی لیگ قهرمانان اروپا راه خواهند یافت.
RB لایپزیگ 3-2 رئال مادرید
علیرغم اینکه با تعدادی از غیبت های کلیدی ضعیف شده بود، هیچ کس انتظار چنین شروع ضعیفی را از مدافع عنوان قهرمانی در آلمان که توسط RB لایپزیگ مورد آزار و اذیت قرار گرفتند، نداشت.
Die Roten Bullen از همان سوت اول بیرحمانه بود و رئال مادرید را به خاطر شروع سخت بازی تنبیه کرد و به لطف جوسکو گواردیول و کریستوفر نکونکو با دو گل پیش افتاد.
وینیسیوس جونیور درست قبل از نیمه دوم یکی را عقب کشید و رئال در نیمه دوم کشتی را ثابت کرد، اما هرگز به اندازه کافی تهدیدکننده به نظر نمی رسید. در همین حال، لایپزیگ روی ضد حمله تهدیدآمیز به نظر میرسید و گل سوم را به ثمر رساند تا بازی بدون تردید باقی بماند، حتی اگر رودریگو میتوانست یک پنالتی را با مرگ کنار بگذارد. یک شب بسیار بسیار ضعیف در دفتر کارلو آنچلوتی.
سویا 3-0 کپنهاگ
سویا سرانجام اولین برد فصل خود در لیگ قهرمانان اروپا را در پنجمین تلاش به دست آورد، در حالی که کپنهاگ به همان اندازه بدون برد در رامون سانچز پیزخوان به لرزه در آمد.
هواداران باید تا نیمه دوم برای گلزنی صبورانه منتظر بمانند و یوسف انسیری در نهایت از بن بست خارج شد. اما نتیجه مشخص نبود تا اینکه دقایقی قبل از پایان بازی، ضربه سریع ایسکو و گونزالو مونتیل، بازی را از کپنهاگ دور کرد.
دانمارکیها حتی بعد از مداخله VAR مسابقه را با 10 بازیکن به پایان رساندند تا به داویت خوچولاوا دستورات مارش را تا پایان وقتهای تلف شده بدهد.
بروسیا دورتموند 0-0 منچسترسیتی
یک امتیاز برای بوروسیا دورتموند و منچسترسیتی در تساوی بدون گل در سیگنال ایدونا پارک کار کرد، بازی که باعث شد ارلینگ هالند به میدان قدیمی خود بازگشت.
سیتی در تمام طول بازی بر توپ مسلط بود، اما این دورتموند بود که در نیمه اول موقعیت های بهتری داشت و احتمالاً باید در یک زمان از طریق کریم آدیمی یا یوسوفا موکوکو جلو می افتاد. سپس ریاض محرز پیروز شد و یک پنالتی را برای سیتی پس از نیمه تمام از دست داد.
این نتیجه باعث شد که سیتی به صدر جدول گروه دست یابد، در حالی که دورتموند نیز با یک بازی دیگر جایگاه خود را در مرحله حذفی قطعی کرده است.
پاری سن ژرمن 7-2 ماکابی حیفا
هدف برای PSG روشن بود. برنده شوید و در مراحل حذفی هستید.
چیزی که بعد از آن یک بازی رقابتیتر از آن چیزی بود که بیشتر انتظار میرفت، اما همچنین شبی بود که سه نفر جلویی پر ستاره Les Parisiens نشان دادند که دقیقاً چرا آنقدر سیری ناپذیر هستند. لیونل مسی با عملکردی هیجان انگیز سال ها را به عقب برگرداند و در طول 90 دقیقه به طور یکپارچه با کیلیان امباپه و نیمار پیوند خورد.
شاگردان کریستوف گالتیه بدون خطا نبودند و توسط تیم کوچک ماکابی حیفا مورد آزمایش قرار گرفتند، اما علیرغم اینکه آنها دو گل از میزبان گذشتند، هرگز در شرایطی که سه گانه مهاجم در حال و هوای خود بودند، ناراحتی ایجاد نکردند.
بنفیکا 4-3 یوونتوس
امتیازی که شکاف ها را در یک شب نگران کننده دیگر برای یوونتوس نشان می دهد، شکست در بنفیکا آنها را رسماً از لیگ قهرمانان اروپا خارج می کند.
که از سوت اول تسلط داشتند، فقط 17 دقیقه طول کشید تا آنها عقب بیفتند. اما علیرغم پاسخ سریع توسط مویز کین، آنها دوباره دقایقی بعد با ضربه پنالتی ژوائو ماریو، که لحن را برای یک فروپاشی کامل ایجاد کرد، فرو ریختند.
بنفیکا کاملاً بازی را کنترل کرد و 5 دقیقه چهارم را به نیمه دوم اضافه کرد تا نتیجه نسبتاً تحقیرآمیز 4-1 را رقم بزند. این یکی از مواردی بود که عملکرد یووه را نیز منعکس می کرد. دو گل دیرهنگام در همین چند دقیقه آرکادیوش میلیک و وستون مک کنی باعث تسلی خاطر شد، اما در حقیقت، تیم ماسیمیلیانو آلگری هرگز آنقدر خوب به نظر نمی رسید که بنفیکا را که در این فصل شکست نخورده باقی مانده است، سرنگون کند.
جام جهانی 2023 زنان در استرالیا و نیوزلند تا 20 جولای آغاز نمی شود، اما 32 تیمی که برای کسب این جام رقابت می کنند، در قرعه کشی روز شنبه در اوکلند در گروه های خود قرار خواهند گرفت.
نام هر تیم از یکی از چهار گلدان گرفته خواهد شد. گلدان 1 معمولاً شامل هفت تیم برتر مسابقات بر اساس ردهبندی جهانی زنان فیفا، به اضافه کشور میزبان میشود، اما از آنجایی که استرالیا و نیوزلند میزبان مشترک هستند، هر دو با ایالات متحده، انگلیس در گلدان 1 خواهند بود. آلمان، فرانسه، اسپانیا و سوئد.
گلدان های 2، 3 و 4 نیز توسط رتبه بندی جهانی سازماندهی شده اند. این به گونه ای طراحی شده است که تیم های برتر تا مرحله حذفی با یکدیگر بازی نکنند. با این حال، با خالی کردن دو کشور میزبان در گلدان های 1 و 2، دو تیم بدشانس در یک گروه با کانادا یا هلند قرار خواهند گرفت.

بر اساس گزارشی از آسوشیتدپرس در روز پنجشنبه، NFL به تکل دفاعی آتلانتا فالکونز ضربه پنالتی مورد مناقشه گریدی جارت در مورد تام بردی از تیم تامپا بی را بررسی کرده است تا مشخص کند که آیا برادی تلاش کرده است جارت را لگد بزند و آیا این کار مستلزم جریمه است.
جریمه لگد زدن برای اولین تخلف 10500 دلار و برای بار دوم 15500 دلار است.
جارت در جریان پیروزی 21-15 تامپا بای مقابل آتلانتا در روز یکشنبه، به دلیل زنجیر زدن برادی به زمین، علامتگذاری شد. به نظر می رسید که برادی سعی کرد به جارت لگد بزند که هر دو بازیکن در حال بلند شدن بودند، اما او تماسی برقرار نکرد.
وقتی از او پرسیده شد که آیا میدانست بردی ممکن است سعی کرده به جارت لگد بزند، تاد بولز، سرمربی تیم بوکانیرز به ESPN گفت که “هیچ یک از آنها را ندیده است، بنابراین نمیتوانم به آن سوال پاسخ دهم.”
پایان دفاعی جارت و کانزاس سیتی چیفز کریس جونز به دلیل جریمه های خشن در هفته 5 که باعث خشم بازیکنان، مربیان و هواداران شد، به طور خودکار مشمول جریمه می شوند، زیرا به نظر نمی رسید که ضربه ها نشان دهند.
جریمه برای خشن کردن پاسور برای اولین تخلف 15000 دلار و برای بار دوم 20000 دلار است. این اولین حمله این فصل برای جارت و جونز بود.
With the hockey season kicking off on October 7, it is time to take a look at how all the teams stack up with the NHL preseason power rankings 2022.
NHL preseason power rankings 2022
The NHL season will begin with a European doubleheader at the O2 Arena featuring the Dallas Stars and Nashville Predators on October 7 and 8. As for the first game in North America, that will take place on October 11 between the New York Rangers and Tampa Bay Lightning.
This season, like most, is a difficult one to predict. Sure, there are the expected top teams like the Avalanche, Lightning, and Hurricanes, but there are many teams in the middle that are capable of making a deep playoff run or missing out on the postseason entirely.
With many star players switching teams in the offseason, it will be interesting to see how these players fit with their new teams as the season unfolds. One thing is certain though, this season will be full of excitement and surprises.
32. Coyotes
The Arizona Coyotes head into the year as the projected worst team in my NHL preseason power rankings 2022-23.
The roster is not good enough to compete for a playoff spot. Arizona is in the middle of a rebuild and is expected to be near the bottom of the standings for the next couple of years.
It is going to be a weird season in Arizona, especially with the fact that they are playing in a 5,000-seat arena at Arizona State University. The good news is that the arena will provide a distraction from the poor performance on the ice that is expected this season.
31. Blackhawks
The Chicago Blackhawks are in the midst of a long and brutal rebuild.
Although years away from competing for championships again, the team continues to delay the process as they trade tons of talent out the door. Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane remain on the roster for now, but will likely be sent off by the trade deadline to acquire future assets.
The plan for the Blackhawks could not be simpler this year, which is to get rid of anything with trade value for the future and hope the first overall pick falls in their hands.
30. Kraken
Although expectations were mixed last season for the Kraken, this year seems to be consistent in the idea that Seattle will not be a playoff team.
The Kraken do look like a better team on paper this year than last. They made some key offseason moves when they signed free agent Andre Burakovsky and traded for Oliver Bjorkstrand, while also drafting a lot of talent for the future.
Seattle will be a team to watch in the late 2020s as they continue to build a solid foundation through the draft, but for now, the team will have to settle for some short-term struggles.
29. Flyers
The Flyers were not good last year, finishing with a record of 25-46-11. They have the third worst Stanley Cup odds heading into the season according to DraftKings, behind only the Chicago Blackhawks and Arizona Coyotes.
Philadelphia is another team in the beginning stages of a long and messy rebuild. The roster lacks any star power as Travis Konecny led the team with just 52 points last season. Losing out on Johnny Gaudreau hurts worse when realizing that Gaudreau had more points than Philadelphia’s two leading scorers combined last year.
This Flyers team is far from competing for a playoff spot, so hopefully, John Tortorella has a lot of patience as he enters his first season with the team.
28. Canadiens
The Montreal Canadiens are coming off of drafting Juraj Slafkovsky with the first overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft. The team’s eyes are set forward, which look beyond the results of this season or even the next.
With the Atlantic Division containing multiple Stanley Cup contenders, there should be no attempt to rush the process of this rebuild. Although Montreal brought back Martin St. Louis behind the bench and have gotten better, the team does not have enough top talent to make a playoff push this season.
The goal for the Canadiens this season should be to develop Slafkovsky and their young core and hope it leads to playoff success down the road.
27. Sabres
The Buffalo Sabres have not made the playoffs since 2011, and it looks as though that drought will continue this season.
Buffalo did not make much noise in the offseason, as they will be relying on the development of their young players to make a jump in the standings this season. The Sabres did show flashes of a playoff contender at times last season but ultimately fell way short.
Buffalo has the potential of battling for a playoff spot late in the season, but I see them tailing off towards the end and finishing between 23 and 28 in the standings.
26. Sharks
After selecting a new general manager and head coach, the San Jose Sharks are turning over a new leaf.
The team has not done much in terms of player movement during the offseason, with the exception of trading away Brent Burns to Carolina. San Jose appears to be accepting a rebuild, although it is unsure as to how they will conduct it as of yet.
The Sharks finished with a record of 32-37-13 last season. This year the bar is low, as they will most likely finish with a similar or slightly worse record in 2022-23.
25. Devils
The New Jersey Devils finished last year with the 5th worst record in the NHL. This season, it is difficult to predict where the New Jersey Devils will finish at the end of the year.
All eyes will be on Jack Hughes throughout the season, as he finished with 55 points in 49 games last season. The team will need Hughes and their other young talent to step up if they want to stay competitive all season long.
It is easy to look at this team on paper and believe that they are good enough to make the playoffs. The difficult part is for them to prove to us that they can, which has been a challenge for the squad in recent years.
24. Ducks
There is not much to be excited about as a Ducks fan for this upcoming season.
Anaheim had a great start to the season in 2021 but ultimately fizzled out in the second half to finish with the 4th worst record in the Western Conference. The team has great skill up front with Troy Terry and Trevor Zegras but needs to surround themselves with more talent to compete for a playoff spot.
As good as the Ducks can be, I believe they are at least one season away from making it to the postseason.
23. Blue Jackets
There is definitely a good case for picking Columbus as the winner of free agency.
The team signed Patrik Laine to a four-year deal, while also surprisingly winning the Johnny Gaudreau sweepstakes.
The problems with the Blue Jackets aren’t with who they did sign, but instead with who they didn’t. Columbus struggled on the defensive end last year and did not add anything impactful on the blue line and in net. They will be competitive, but the defense will hold them back from a playoff spot.
22. Red Wings
I give the Detroit Red Wings the best opportunity to outperform my NHL preseason power rankings 2022-23.
Although I have them at number 22, Detroit made some key moves in the offseason to push the needle closer to playoff contention.
The Red Wings finished last season with 74 points. I wouldn’t be surprised if they made a substantial jump this year, but with last year’s final wild card in the Eastern Conference reaching 100 points, I don’t believe it will be large enough to make Detroit a playoff team.
21. Jets
The Winnipeg Jets are one of the biggest unknowns entering the 2022-23 season.
A team that looks deep and talented on paper was flat-out disappointing last season as they fell eight points shy of a playoff spot. Now with some reported locker room tension and a brand-new head coach, it is anybody’s guess as to where Winnipeg will finish the season.
At the end of the day, Connor Hellebuyck’s play will be a big factor in determining whether the Jets outperform or underperform this year.
20. Senators
Things are finally looking brighter in Ottawa as the Senators are getting closer to being a competitive team again.
Pierre Dorion, Ottawa’s general manager, did an excellent job this off-season. In addition to signing Claude Giroux as a free agent, the Senators traded for Alex DeBrincat, who scored 41 goals last season with Chicago.
Ottawa also addressed their goaltending issues, although it is still undecided whether Cam Talbot will be good enough to bring the Senators to the playoffs.
19. Islanders
After missing the playoffs last year and not changing much in the offseason, a similar result should be expected this season from the Islanders.
Yes, it was difficult for New York to be on the road for 13 games to start last season, but there are still many unanswered questions coming into this season. The team will no longer have Barry Trotz as their head coach, which could prove to be a huge loss.
They do have the talent on paper to make the playoffs, but will the Islanders be able to regroup after a disappointing season last year is the biggest question.
18. Canucks
Vancouver Canucks fans should be cautiously optimistic about this year’s group.
With another year under their belt for the young core, it is expected that they continue to improve as the Canucks battle for a wild card spot in the Western Conference. Having head coach Bruce Boudreau at the start of the season is also a plus for the team.
Although it will be tough, the Canucks and their fans will be disappointed if they don’t find a way to squeak into the postseason this year.
17. Golden Knights
It is easy to expect too much from the Vegas Golden Knights heading into the season.
The team is filled with talent, especially if Jack Eichel is able to stay healthy for the majority of the season. However, losing Evgenii Dadonov and Max Pacioretty certainly doesn’t help the Golden Knights.
Ultimately, with goalie Robin Lehner’s long-term injury, it will be the goaltending that will make or break it for Vegas this season.
16. Bruins
The Bruins, who haven’t missed the playoffs since 2016, have the potential to be a Stanley Cup contender or miss out on the playoffs entirely.
Boston will be missing some key players to start, as Brad Marchand and Charlie McAvoy will be out until closer to December, while Matt Grzelcyk will miss the first few weeks of the season.
If the Bruins come out strong to start the season despite injuries, they will be in a good position to make the playoffs for the 7th consecutive year.
15. Stars
Not one of the bottom-tier teams but not one of the best NHL teams right now, the Dallas Stars find themselves in the middle of the pack.
Dallas has a bunch of talent on their roster, which includes star defenseman Miro Heiskanen and a solid goaltender in Jake Oettinger.
One of the main priorities for the Stars is getting a deal done with Jason Robertson, who scored 41 goals last season and is a huge part of the team.
14. Penguins
With Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby still on the team, the Pittsburgh Penguins will have a shot at playoff success this year.
Penguins general manager Ron Hextall made some key moves in the offseason, resigning both Malkin and Kris Letang, while also adding Ty Smith and Jeff Petry.
Pittsburgh was on the verge of a rebuild this summer but instead gave themselves a slim chance at another championship before the window closes for good.
13. Predators
The Nashville Predators haven’t had much playoff success as of late but continue to find a way to get into the postseason year after year.
With players like Filip Forsberg, who signed a new eight-year deal with the organization, the Predators will find themselves fighting for one of those three playoff spots in the Central Division.
Although the Predators are a playoff team, I wouldn’t expect much from them once the playoffs begin.
12. Capitals
The Capitals have had an up-and-down offseason, to say the least.
Washington did acquire a Stanley Cup-winning goaltender as Darcy Kuemper joins the squad but are going to be without Tom Wilson for the foreseeable future due to ACL surgery. The Capitals will also be without Nicklas Backstrom, who is dealing with a hip injury.
The team is not getting any younger, but if Washington can stay healthy, they will be a contender come playoff time.
11. Kings
Los Angeles is a team to look out for as they sit at number 11 on my NHL preseason power rankings 2022.
The Kings surprised most with a great season last year that ended with them falling just short of a first-round upset against the Edmonton Oilers. In the offseason, Los Angeles added Kevin Fiala, who will add an extra spark to the top line.
With a strong group of young players and a healthy Drew Doughty, the Kings could find themselves as a serious contender.
10. Wild
The Minnesota Wild did take a big hit in the offseason when they lost Kevin Fiala, who they just could not afford to keep.
Minnesota should be fine without him though, as Kirill Kaprizov will carry the load for the team. They also have Matt Boldy, who at just 21 years old could make a big jump this year.
With veteran goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury between the pipes, the Wild should have no problem making the playoffs this season, even if they do regress slightly from last season.
9. Blues
The St. Louis Blues finished the 2021-22 season with a record of 49-22-11.
The Blues didn’t do much in the offseason, which is why I believe they will have a similar season to last year. St. Louis has a deep roster, with a great balance of young and veteran players.
There is no denying that the Blues are a playoff team, but the play of Jordan Binnington in goal will determine how far they can go.
8. Flames
Looking at Canadian teams, the Calgary Flames are one of the best NHL teams ahead of 2022-23.
It is tough to overlook the big losses of Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Tkachuk, but the Flames came out better than most thought they would. After losing two stars, Calgary gained one of the league’s best scorers in Jonathan Huberdeau and Stanley Cup champion Nazem Kadri.
If Jacob Markstrom performs like he did last season, the Calgary Flames will be a serious threat in the Western Conference.
7. Oilers
The best Canadian team on this list, the Edmonton Oilers are due for another deep playoff run this year.
Edmonton is tied with the second-best odds to come out of the Western Conference according to FanDuel (sign-up to FanDuel Sportsbook for up to $1000 in free bets), behind only the defending champions. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are the league’s best duo and continue to get even better with each season.
With the addition of Jack Campbell, the Oilers have now solved their goaltending issues, which makes them a much bigger threat to the Colorado Avalanche this year.
6. Panthers
The Florida Panthers had a sour ending to an otherwise amazing season last year.
Florida finished with the best record in the NHL but were blown out by the Lightning in the second round of the playoffs. It is difficult to tell whether the Panthers got better or worse, especially with the subtraction of Jonathan Huberdeau and the addition of Matthew Tkachuk.
Due to their poor showing in the postseason, I cannot justify putting Florida any higher on this list to start the year.
5. Rangers
There is a lot to like about the New York Rangers heading into the season.
The Rangers were relatively quiet in the offseason, but the addition of Vincent Trocheck will look great when he gets going with the team.
New York relies heavily on Igor Shesterkin, but Shesterkin has proven that he can carry the load both in the regular season and playoffs. I see them taking another step in the regular season, which is why I have them at number five on my rankings.
4. Maple Leafs
Putting playoff success aside, the Toronto Maple Leafs are one of the best NHL teams right now that are supposed to compete for a championship.
Yes, the team has repeatedly struggled to get out of the first round, but they continue to prove that they are a top-tier team in the regular season.
The biggest thing to look out for is goaltending, which shifts from Jack Campbell last season to a tandem of Matt Murray and Ilya Samsonov. If it pays off, they could finally get out of the first round, and if it doesn’t, they will score a ton and still be one of the best teams in the regular season.
3. Hurricanes
The Carolina Hurricanes have the best chance to dethrone the Lightning in the Eastern Conference.
Carolina has the experience of being one game away from the Conference Finals a season ago and can improve on that run with a healthy Frederik Andersen in goal.
The Hurricanes have a great coach in Rod Brind’Amour, and with the acquisitions of Brent Burns and Max Pacioretty, are even better positioned to win the Stanley Cup in 2023.
2. Lightning
The Tampa Bay Lightning are one of the best NHL teams ahead of 2022-23.
With a core that includes Steven Stamkos, Victor Hedman, Andrei Vasilevskiy, and Nikita Kucherov, the Lightning are still very well in win-now mode.
Although they do not deserve a higher ranking than the defending champions, the Lightning are currently the best Eastern Conference team until someone else proves otherwise.
1. Avalanche
The defending champion Colorado Avalanche are the number one team heading into this season.
Although they aren’t discussed as one of the greatest NHL teams of all time, this is a really good team capable of going back-to-back. Losing some key players like Nazem Kadri and Darcy Kuemper does sting, but the major core and depth of the team are still intact.
The Colorado Avalanche should be the favorites to win the Stanley Cup entering the season and are the number one team in my NHL preseason power rankings 2022.
مارک “مگنیفیکو” ماگسایو قهرمان پر وزن WBC آسیا کاملاً آگاه است که باید در تصمیم گیری دقت کند. این شامل پیوستن به یک تبلیغ جدید نیز می شود.
بیشتر آنها می دانند که او چه چیزی را پشت سر گذاشته است. حرفه بوکس مگسایو حدود دو سال به دلیل اختلاف قرارداد با مربیان سابقش متوقف شد.
«عالم نیو نمان پو ننگیاری سا اکین. 2 سال بعد از مدتی. اما من هرگز تمرین را متوقف نکردم. (“می دانید چه اتفاقی برای من افتاد. من 2 سال تلاش کردم اما هرگز تمرین را متوقف نکردم”)
همه چیز در سال گذشته تغییر کرد که پاگ 5 فوتی از شهر تاگبیلاران به حرفه بوکس خود بازگشت. ماگسایو در ماه آگوست در “غرور بوهول” مبارزه کرد و به اتفاق آرا بر حریف تایلندی پانیا اوتوک پیروز شد. این به او اجازه داد تا عنوان قهرمانی وزن پر وزن WBC آسیا را به دست آورد.
آموزش با فردی روچ
مگسایو به تمرینات بازگشته است و اکنون زیر نظر مربی مشهور بوکس فردی روچ در باشگاه بوکس وایلد کارت در هالیوود کالیفرنیا خواهد بود. او می گوید اردوی تمرینی او از اینجا به بعد بر عهده مربی 59 ساله خواهد بود.
«فردی (روچ) مربی رسمی است. ماگسایو گفت: تمام کمپ تمرینی من تحت نایا. (“مربی فردی (روچ) مربی رسمی من خواهد بود. تمام تمرینات من توسط او انجام خواهد شد”) هنوز تصمیمی در مورد New Handler وجود ندارد
مگسایو به صراحت اعلام کرد که هنوز با یک ترفیع جدید قرارداد امضا نکرده است. او می گوید که اخباری مبنی بر تبلیغ وی توسط ترفیعات نمایندگان مجلس گمراه کننده است.
“نامیمیلی به عنوان پروموتر ازیون. میل به دوستی دارد. ماگسایو گفت. (“من هنوز در مورد پروموتر تصمیم میگیرم و میخواهم مطمئن شوم که این بار عاقلانه انتخاب میکنم. با دقت در مورد آن فکر میکنم”)
او گفت که گروههای مختلفی با او صحبت میکنند، هرچند او فعلا نمیتواند نامهایش را فاش کند.
Magsayo فاش می کند که یکی از آنها MP Promotions است. او و شان گیبون زمانی که در ماه فوریه به فیلیپین بازگردد، برای گفتگو با یکدیگر می نشینند.
«شان گیبون از نماینده مجلس گفت که میخواهد وقتی به خانه آمدیم با من صحبت کند. من گفتم باشه.» مگسایو گفت. در جستجوی مربی تهویه
این بازگشت کوتاهی برای Magsayo به فیلیپین خواهد بود. او می گوید که پس از آن برای از سرگیری تمرینات با روچ بازخواهد گشت. غرور بوهول اضافه کرد که آنها هنوز یک مربی تهویه را انتخاب نکرده اند.
«پاتی پو سا تهویه کو، سا وایلد کارت نا. او گفت: “Pero Namili pa din Kami ng coaching conditioning”. (حتی شرطی سازی من، اکنون در Wild Card خواهد بود. اما ما هنوز یک مربی شرطی را انتخاب نکرده ایم)
وقتی از ماگسایو در مورد مبارزات آینده پرسیده شد، گفت فعلاً چیزی مشخص نیست.
وقتی با یک پروموتور امضا کنم، آن وقت می دانم. اما در حال حاضر، تولوی-تولوی آموزش ko،” Magsayo به پایان رسید. (زمانی که با یک پروموتر قرارداد امضا کنم، آن وقت می دانم. فعلاً به تمرین ادامه خواهم داد)
