Sydney coach Dean Cox confirms a gun midfielder will likely return to face Fremantle.
While none of the five suspended Swans will be at Crown Palladium on Monday night, their teammates and coaches will be if Sydney don’t make the grand final.
The coach allegedly told him, “Yes, leave! Go back to the f—king Dominican Republic! Nobody wants you here!! F—k you!”
Colin Bell may have stopped coaching the South Korean women's national football team two years ago, but he loves his adopted country so much that he still lives there. And admittedly, it was "a strange feeling" to face South Korea as an opponent at the Asian Games in Japan on Monday, he says. Bell, the English tactician now coaching Myanmar, lost to his former team 5-0 on Monday to begin the Asian Games at Nagai Stadium in Osaka, some 140 kilometers west of the main host city of Nagoya. Bell coached the Taegeuk Ladies from 2019 to 2024 and took over Myanmar last month. Bell's new team proved to be no match against his former side Monday night, and he conceded defeat to a superior side. "All I could ask for my players after a couple of weeks (of) training was that they give everything they have and they did. They gave everything they have," Bell said. "But our problem was that what they have is not enough to match this quality that we were playing against. And I know the players very, very well from South Korea. It was basically my team on one side in red and my new team in white." Bell say

Head coach insists forwards need to improve pressingChanges up front likely for Carabao Cup tie against SpursAndoni Iraola has shifted the focus on to Liverpool’s forwards for the team’s uninspiring display against Fulham, insisting they need to give more to make his system work.The head coach admitted his team took “a step backwards” with their goalless draw on Saturday. His central midfield pairing of Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai struggled to contain their Fulham counterparts, winning two of five duels and one of nine duels respectively. But Iraola believes the problems started further forward with the pressing of Liverpool’s expensively assembled attack. Continue reading...
"Baseball is a game of mistakes. What matters is how players cover for their teammates' mistakes." Coach Jin Nakatani of Chiben Wakayama High School, which won Japan's premier summer Koshien tournament this year, identified a surprisingly simple standard for what makes a great team. He said the ability to cover for a teammate's mistakes matters more than the number of elite players. Nakatani recently met with coach Lim Won-su of Gyeongju High School to discuss the coaching philosophies and player development methods of high school baseball in both countries. The two coaches quickly found common ground through their shared interest in baseball despite their different nationalities and languages. Gyeongju High School and Chiben Wakayama share many similarities. Both schools operate with small rosters of 12 to 13 players per grade and are located in baseball hotbeds — Korea's Gyeongsan region and Japan's Kansai region. However, Chiben Wakayama won the summer Koshien championship this year while Gyeongju High has not won a national championship in several years. Lim asked how a team with s

Sean McVay’s summer vacation doubled as an involuntary conditioning drill for the Rams. A shirtless photo of McVay posing on a boat with his wife, Veronika Khomyn McVay, went viral in June because the 40-year-old coach looked more like someone competing for a roster spot than constructing one.

The coach of Korea's national women's volleyball team on Monday expressed confidence that his team will win a medal at the upcoming Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, saying his players are on track after their first official training session in Japan. "In the previous competition, we stopped at the quarterfinals. I can see their strong determination for this Asian Games," coach Cha Sang-hyun told reporters after the training session held at Okazaki Chuo Sogo Park Gymnasium in Okazaki, some 50 kilometers southeast of Nagoya. "We are doing our best and making every effort to achieve our goal." The team arrived in Japan the previous day to begin its campaign to reclaim a medal at the Asian Games, which will kick off Saturday. Korea will face Hong Kong, Qatar and Vietnam in Pool D of the preliminary round. The top two teams from each of the four groups will advance to the quarterfinals. At the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, Korea lost to Vietnam in its first preliminary match and failed to get into the medal phase. It was the first time since 2006 that Korea had failed to win an Asian Games med

In Korea's buildup to the men's football tournament at the Asian Games in central Japan this month, Grasshopper forward Lee Young-jun has been conspicuous by his absence. Lee, 23, was called up to the 23-man squad by head coach Lee Min-sung for the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games in July. But the player's Swiss club had not yet released the forward as of Monday, the eve of Korea's first Group D match against Qatar at Nagoya City Mizuho Park Rugby Field in Nagoya. The 193-centimeter striker with a nose for the goal is expected to be a major offensive weapon for Korea as they chase their fourth consecutive gold medal. According to an official with the Korea Football Association (KFA), though, Lee will likely not join the team until just before the second Group D match against Saudi Arabia on Sept. 22. The official explained that there had been some confusion between the KFA and Grasshopper regarding Lee's release, following a recent leadership change at the Swiss club. Lee Min-sung himself described the situation as "having a bit of an issue" without divulging much but insisted the rest of the te

Tumaini Carayol | New world No 1’s relationship with her previously banned coach, Stefano Vukov, remains under spotlight despite her rise to the topIn the bitter aftermath of her straight-sets defeat by Elena Rybakina at the WTA Finals last November, an inconsolable Aryna Sabalenka walked over to her courtside player box and slumped into a chair. She had been completely overpowered by her opponent, a strange and unusual feeling for such a powerful player, and she was seething. Sabalenka eventually settled on a popular Russian idiom to explain Rybakina’s untouchable form, which she believed was fortunately timed: “Once a year, even a stick shoots,” she said.That stick, it turns out, has spent the past year shooting straight at Sabalenka in every significant match. Rybakina’s performance in Riyadh was a clear warning and she has dominated the hard‑court grand slam tournaments this year, beating Sabalenka in the Australian Open and US Open finals.

Ali Martin | New Test head coach’s arrival and Root’s calming influence as captain add to promising signs in the post-Stokes eraAs Joe Root calmly ran the rule over the Test summer and reeled off the ways in which it had been “chaos”, “unusual” and “unsettling” for England, it felt telling that first among them was Ben Stokes calling time on his international career during a match and a series that were both still live at the time.Cricketers announcing their retirement mid-game is nothing new. Heather Knight went on to do the same during the women’s Test at Lord’s two weeks later. Root is also too loyal to Stokes to question openly whether that scene-stealing exit before New Zealand’s win at Trent Bridge was entirely keeping with his call for “selfless cricketers” four years earlier.

As he takes over a much-criticized Korean men's national football team, temporary head coach Robert Moreno said Sunday he will try to make people proud of his squad. The Spanish tactician and his staff arrived in Korea on Sunday, a dozen days after the Korea Football Association (KFA) announced their appointment on an interim basis. Moreno and his coaches are signed through Nov. 27 and will be in charge of Korea's next six international friendlies. Korea will host Ecuador on Sept. 24, Uruguay on Sept. 28, Venezuela on Oct. 2 and Uzbekistan on Oct. 6. The KFA is also trying to schedule two more matches in November. After Hong Myung-bo resigned at the end of June to take the fall for Korea's group-stage exit at the FIFA World Cup, the KFA opted not to rush to hire a full-time replacement, with the next set of matches less than three months away. Instead, it went searching for someone to hold the fort temporarily and found their man in the 48-year-old Moreno, who once coached the Spanish men's national team and served as an assistant for FC Barcelona, among other stops. "I have wanted the K
Sticking with what works, UCLA coach Bob Chesney wore his usual all-black outfit Saturday. San Diego State simply wore it.

It took some...
