England v Australia: first ODI – live!

0

More emails in keeping with the theme so far. “I really don’t understand any attempt NOT to upset the Australians,” writes Vincent O’Connor. “They cheated. As a team. They should be reminded of how unacceptable that is at every opportunity. I suggest there is a replay of Bancroft roughing up the ball on the big screen between each over.”

So, mental disintegration? As someone who was in South Africa, trust me, that doesn’t always end well. Be careful what you wish for.

Paine and Langer tell Nasser Hussain for @skysportscric that Aust road to Newlands started via “not living by our behaviours” for years and was due to Steve Smith not being “strong enough” in his leadership #ENGvAUS pic.twitter.com/gkPxnAbWLn

So, what do you need to know about Michael Neser? Glad you asked, I wrote about the other week.

Former hero Ronaldo backs Brazil to end 16-year wait in Russia

0

Former Brazil striker Ronaldo believes it is time for his country to live up to the expectations and end their 16-year wait for a World Cup in Russia.

Tite’s Brazilian squad head into the tournament as one of the favourites, and will meet Switzerland, Costa Rica and Serbia in Group E.

“I think for me the favourite is, of course, Brazil, not just because I am Brazilian but because Brazil are playing very well,” Ronaldo, who was the top scorer when Brazil last won the World Cup in 2002, told reporters in Moscow.

“Spain are playing very well, and Germany are always strong. But the World Cup is such a difficult tournament, and we also have Argentina, who are always strong, France with a very young team.

“I hope Brazil can win. It’s a long time since 2002, and I think it’s time.”

Five-time champions Brazil will open their campaign against Switzerland on Sunday.

Spain latest Having scoured Twitter, I can confirm that:

The Fifa congress is set to resume from a half-hour coffee break momentarily. Item 10 of the agenda is next: Vote on proposals for amendments to the FIFA Statutes, the Regulations Governing the Application of the Statutes and the Standing Orders of the Congress.

The main event, as it were, is Item 13.

We all know the World Cup is big business. But the raw numbers are no less stupefying whenever they’re revealed. To wit, Fifa’s head of finance said today he expects $6.56bn income during the four-year cycle leading up to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

From the Associated Press:

Fifa’s head of finance says he “anticipates strong revenues” leading to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Thomas Peyer tells member federations that income from broadcasting rights will add up to 53% of FIFA’s budgeted income of $6.56bn over the next four years. Around 70% is already contracted.
