English Premier League’s Tottenham Hotspur to take on Seattle Sounders …

Senin, 30 Desember 2013






Tottenham Hotspur are coming back to America.


The English Premier League club will suit up against the Seattle Sounders and Chicago Fire in July 2014, the clubs announced on Monday, giving Stateside fans the third look in five years at one of the top teams in England.


Tottenham will take on Seattle on July 19 at CenturyLink Field and then the Fire at Toyota Park on July 26.


Spurs currently sit seventh in the Barclays Premier League, level with Manchester United and three points off fourth position, with just one loss in the past seven league outings. After finishing fifth in the league table last season, Spurs qualified for the UEFA Europa League, winning its group with a perfect record to advance to the Round of 32.


“Tottenham Hotspur has established themselves as one of the top teams in arguably the toughest league in the world,” Sounders owner and general manager Adrian Hanauer said in a statement. “We are proud to have them be a part of this year’s friendly and will continue to strive to bring the strongest competition to CenturyLink Field.”


Said Fire chief operating officer Atul Khosla: “In Chicago, the Fire proudly represents the global game. Making the investment to bring a club like Spurs to Toyota Park demonstrates our continued commitment to facilitating the growth of soccer. We welcome the opportunity to showcase Chicago Fire soccer to a broader base of soccer fans, not only here at home, but also those from around the globe.”


The North London side, which has won the FA Cup eight times and the UEFA Cup twice, currently has a roster that boasts US national team legend Brad Friedel, English internationals Jermain Defoe, Andros Townsend and Kyle Walker, Brazilian internationals Paulinho and Sandro, Spanish international striker Roberto Soldado and French international captain Hugo Lloris.


“Preseason preparations are always key ahead of a new campaign,” Spurs manager Tim Sherwood said in a statement. “We all know that the US has first-class facilities, while Major League Soccer is growing each year. The MLS opposition we face will be in the middle of their seasons and playing in their home stadiums so we can expect strong tests from both Seattle Sounders and Chicago Fire. The Club is rightfully proud of its large and growing fan base in the States and we look forward to meeting with as many of our loyal fans from across the country as we can.”


The Seattle match is part of the Sounders FC full 18-match season ticket membership. Fans can also guarantee seats for the Tottenham Hotspur match by purchasing a half-season ticket membership prior to the public on-sale of individual tickets on March 10.


Tickets will be available to Fire season ticket holders beginning Jan. 8. The general public sale date is Jan. 24, with group sales beginning Jan. 27.

Arsenal loanee could return to Serie A

Senin, 30 Desember 2013



Emiliano Viviano Arsenal goalkeeper could end his loan spell with the club prematurely in order to return to Italy with showing an interest in the -owned Italian international.


Viviano has failed to make a single appearance for Arsene Wenger’s side this season and could push for a return to the peninsula in order to secure regular first team football.


The 28-year-old’s lack of match practice puts him behind the likes of Gianluigi Buffon, Federico Marchetti and Salvatore Sirigu for a place in the Italy squad for the 2014 World Cup and tuttomercatoweb.com report that Bologna may be willing to offer him the first team football he needs.


Viviano is no stranger at the Renato Dall’Ara having made 72 appearances for the Rossoblu between 2009-11 before moving on to Inter and then to Palermo in 2012.


The goalkeeper spent last season on loan at hometown club , making 32 appearances for the Viola.

Your 2013 World Rally Driver of the Year: 2nd

Senin, 30 Desember 2013

Your Top 10 World Rally Drivers of the Year 2013:

2: Sebastien Ogier

Nationality: French

Team: Volkswagen Motorsport

Car: Volkswagen Polo R WRC

Championship position: 1st

Points: 290 points (average tally per event: 22.31)

Events: 13 (out 13)

Wins: 9

Podiums: 11 (in total)

Points finishes: 11

Stage wins: 109

Sebastien Ogier enjoyed a brilliant season in 2013, securing the WRC Drivers’ title with two events to go, when he was crowned in front of his home fans in France.


The Volkswagen man won nine events in total, claiming his first victory of the year in Sweden – only the second WRC event with the Polo R WRC. The Frenchman also won in Mexico, Portugal, Sardinia, Finland, Australia, France, Spain and Wales.


In addition he took second place finishes in Monte Carlo and Argentina, and won 7 of the 12 Power Stages (there was no Power Stage in Monte Carlo after the final two tests were cancelled on safety grounds).


His only mistake came in Germany, when he went out on the Friday morning in SS3. He also only finished 10th in Greece – but that was after being sidelined by a fuel pressure problem in SS1.


Overall you gave him an average mark of 7.001 out of ten and that places him second in your 2013 World Rally Driver of the Year vote.

2013 MotoGP Star of the Year vote: Full Results

Senin, 30 Desember 2013

The top ten has already been revealed, but here is a full rundown for this year’s Crash.net MotoGP Star of the Year voting results.

About the vote:

Over 30,000 votes were cast for the 2013 Crash.net MotoGP Star of the Year poll, where viewers were asked to award each of this year’s full-time participants – only Ben Spies and Karel Abraham, injured for large parts of the season, were not included – with a mark out of ten.


The average score for each rider was then used to determine the final ranking.


Voting instructions were as follows: “It’s your vote, which means the criterion is entirely up to you. If you feel results are all that matter in racing, vote according to the championship standings or race wins. However most will feel factors such as machinery, performance relative to a team-mate, riding style, experience, injuries, progress and personality should also be taken into account.”
