Belgium missed the opportunity to finish first in Group E of Euro 2024. Against Ukraine, the Red Devils could not find the fault (0-0). They will therefore face the France team in the round of 16. The Ukrainians are, for their part, eliminated.

The meeting begins with several minutes of observation between the two selections. Belgium seems more comfortable technically, especially Kevin de Bruyne. The captain of the Red Devils found Romelu Lukaku in depth, the Belgian striker followed up with a crushed shot that Anatoliy Trubin easily captured (7th). Apart from this occasion, Belgium’s offensive movements lacked precision during the first quarter of an hour.

The match, rather calm, begins to liven up in a few minutes. First on an initiative from Roman Yaremchuk, author of a powerful strike from 25 meters captured by Koen Casteels (20th). In the process, following a loss of the ball by Wout Faes, Ukraine attempted a counter-attack concluded by an off-target shot from Artem Dovbyk (21st). Belgian defender Arthur Theate also tries a long shot, but it ends up wide of Anatoliy Trubin’s cage (23rd).

At this point in the match, Slovakia has just opened the score against Romania in the other Group E match. Which means that as it stands, there would be a France – Belgium match in the round of 16. But we’re not there yet, and the Red Devils have an interesting free kick to play (33rd): Kevin De Bruyne shoots it directly, but the ball slips narrowly out of the goal and the Ukrainian goalkeeper seemed to be on the fence. path. In the process, Georgiy Sudakov tries to create danger, but Koen Casteels is still there to stop his shot (34th). READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Belgium is struggling to convince in this first act, and Ukraine is on the verge of surprising them with this action. Roman Yaremchuk is served in a striking position in the Belgian area, and rather than finishing, he decides to serve Artem Dovbyk in the middle… but his pass is too powerful (42nd). Kevin De Bruyne has a chance to strike, but his curl ends in the gloves of Anatoliy Trubin (45th). In the other match, Romania equalized – and at the same time Belgium remains the Blues’ potential future opponent.

A few opportunities without materializing

After the break, the Red Devils camped in the opponent’s 30-meter line but could not find the gap that would lead to an opportunity. On a nice move initiated by Kevin De Bruyne, Jérémy Doku overflowed on his wing and crossed hard towards Romelu Lukaku. But the Belgian striker could not receive the ball (58th). As in the first half, Belgium struggled to exist in this second act, and the clock continued to tick.

On a loss of the Ukrainian ball in midfield, Kevin de Bruyne throws Romelu Lukaku deep, who stares at his opposite number and fires a soft shot at ground level that Anatoliy Trubin catches without worry (65th). The Red Devils finally bring a thrill to the Stuttgart stadium through Yannick Carrasco who, after a relay with Romelu Lukaku, lands a dry strike at the edge of the Ukrainian area. Anatoliy Trubin pushes back his fists but had to work hard on this one (73rd).

The Ukrainians try to open the score, but Koen Casteels watches over this dangerous corner (83rd). Belgium is not to be outdone, but it lacks precision (86th). There is an air of knockout in these last minutes. Georgiy Sudakov attempts a rush alone in the Spanish defense, with a finishing shot saved by the Belgian goalkeeper (90th + 1). The match ends there, so it will be France – Belgium on July 1st.

Romania and Slovakia in the round of 16

LeBron James Set to Make History with Third Olympic Appearance

Published

By


He competed in his first Olympics at age 19. He returned twice in his 20s. Now, just months shy of his 40th birthday, he’s about to get another taste.

LeBron James has nothing left to prove. If he lines up with the Americans once again, it’s simply because he wants to.

James is set to become the first U.S. men’s basketball player to compete in the Olympics in three decades.

The United States camp is in motion in Nevada, the starting point where they are ultimately looking for a fifth gold medal in a row.

“I’m still playing at a high level,” said James, who has two gold medals and a bronze to his name. “I still enjoy playing basketball and I have a great relationship with Team USA. It was important for me to join the guys this summer.”

James can notably reconnect with two of his former coaches, Erik Spoelstra and Tyronn Lue. He won an NBA title with each of them at the helm.

“It’s amazing how intense he is in practice,” U.S. coach Steve Kerr said. “I asked Ty and ‘Spo’ if that’s normal, and they said he’s like that every drill, every day.” READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

James won bronze in 2004 in Athens and also in 2006 at the World Championship (now the World Cup) in Japan.

Since then, the Americans have always won gold when he has donned their jersey, with a record of 36-0.

“Our only goal is to win gold,” James said.

The Americans will face Canada in a pre-season match on Wednesday.

  • Carlos Alcaraz (ATP 3) has to take a detour against Ugo Humbert (ATP 16), but is in the quarterfinals after a 6:3, 6:4, 1:6, 7:5.
  • Jannik Sinner (ATP 1) leaves Ben Shelton (ATP 14) no chance.
  • On the outdoor courts at Wimbledon, some matches have to be interrupted again due to the rain.

Playful and with fast legs: Carlos Alcaraz thrilled the crowd on Centre Court when he reached the quarter-finals at Wimbledon – but then found himself in danger at times. The 21-year-old defending champion was the more complete professional in the almost three-hour duel with the aggressive Frenchman Ugo Humbert and won 6:3, 6:4, 1:6, 7:5.

A loss of tension in the third set cost Alcaraz an even quicker win, but Humbert then played well and sensed his chance of a surprise. After that, however, the Spaniard improved again and made it to the quarter-finals. There he will face Tommy Paul (USA) or Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP).

The world number one Jannik Sinner stopped the winning streak of American tennis pro Ben Shelton at Wimbledon. The 22-year-old Italian won in the round of 16 with 6:2, 6:4, 7:6 (11:9). In the fight for a place in the round of the best four, Sinner will face former US Open winner Daniil Medvedev from Russia or Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov.
