Bundesliga wrap: Wolfsburg stop Schalke, Simons on target for Nurnberg

Mario Mandzukic scored the winner for Wolfsburg a week after he was fined by the club as they beat Schalke 2-1 in the Bundesliga.

Raul cancelled out Mandzukic s opener but the Croatian target man bobbed up again in the 82nd minute to clinch the three points for the 2008-09 champions.

Mandzukic made headlines in midweek when he was fined by returning manager Felix Magath for failing to follow team tactics in their 3-0 loss to Freiburg.

He managed to keep his starting place and it paid dividends as he starred in the win that moved Wolves clear of the drop zone.

In Sunday s other game, Nurnberg made Cologne pay twice from the penalty spot with a 2-1 win away from home.

Veteran Belgian Timmy Simons buried both spot kicks within the space of four min…

Argentina 2/9 to see past Croatia in tonight’s international friendly

Competition: International friendly
Market: Argentina to win against Croatia
Odds:

Argentina are looking to continue their impressive form under new manager Gerardo Martino when they come up against Croatia in this week’s international friendly. The South American outfit, who finished runners-up in this summer’s World Cup, most recently beat Hong Kong 7-0.

Following the World Cup, they beat eventual winners Germany 4-2 in a friendly too. They welcome back Juventus striker Carlos Tevez, who was ousted from the team back in 2011, and he will be raring to play. In 2014, Argentina’s form has been superb, winning nine and drawing one of their 12 games played in all competitions, and William Hill are giving odds of 2/9 for Martino’s side to win against Cr…

Brazil to meet Colombia at Copa America

Brazil will face Colombia in the 2015 Copa America group stages as Chile got a favourable draw on Monday.

Dunga s Brazil, who will be looking to atone for their poor 2014 World Cup, meet Colombia, Peru and Venezuela in Group C.

June 17 marks the clash between Brazil and Colombia in a repeat of their quarter-final at the World Cup.

Brazil won that clash 2-1, but it was Juan Camilo Zuniga s challenge on Neymar that caused controversy and left the Brazil star with a fractured vertebra.

Both Brazil and Colombia, ranked in the world s top 10, will be expected to progress from the group stages.

Peru and Venezuela are ranked 54th and 85th respectively.

Group B also pits two powerhouses against one another, with Argentina and 2011 champions Urugua…

Mings signs long-term Bournemouth extension

Bournemouth defender Tyrone Mings has pledged his future to the club by signing a new long-term contract at the Vitality Stadium.

The Premier League side have not revealed the precise length of the extension for the former Ipswich man, who joined for a reported fee of £8million in June 2015.

Mings has appeared 13 times in all competitions for the Cherries after suffering a serious knee injury on debut.

The 24-year-old made his long-awaited return in the second half of last season and started the recent 2-1 defeat to Manchester City.

The first two years of my time were not easy, with trying to get in the team and getting injured on debut, Mings said.

But I came out of it the other end, had a bit of a run in the team last year and feel like …

Morata emulates Ronaldo and sets new Spain record before penalty heartbreak

Spain s penalty shoot-out defeat to Italy will live long in the memory of Alvaro Morata for all the wrong reasons after his crucial failure from the spot, but La Roja wouldn t have even got to extra-time without the maligned striker s historic goal.

Roberto Mancini s Azzurri appeared to be heading to the final thanks to Federico Chiesa s gorgeous opener, but Morata – a second-half substitute – levelled in the 80th minute to force extra-time.

Morata had been dropped from the starting XI after being withdrawn early in the second half of the quarter-final against Switzerland.

Although the forward, on loan at Juventus from Atletico Madrid, had been a regular source of frustration in Euro 2020, with his six Opta-defined big chances missed being more than any other…

Arsenal want Andre Gomes

According to a recent report from ESPN, Everton are set to face some stiff competition from fellow Premier League side Arsenal in the race to sign Andre Gomes. The 25 year old has been one of the star men for the Toffees throughout the course of the season, as they attempt to nab a last minute place in the Europa League next season. The general belief is that Barcelona are interested in offloading him during the summer transfer window, with the rumoured fee believed to be around £25 million. In case you weren’t already aware, Gomes has already been on loan at Goodison Park for the entire season.

Arsenal boss Unai Emery, however, has been a big fan of Gomes for quite some time, with Arsenal’s head of football being involved in the deal that took him to the Nou Camp back in …

Santos explains Ronaldo gesture as Portugal boss guarantees ´we´ll be in Qatar´ after Serbia heartbr

Fernando Santos played down Cristiano Ronaldo s gesture after Portugal missed out on automatic World Cup qualification, though the under-fire head coach guaranteed his team will be in Qatar next year.

Portugal will feature in the World Cup play-offs following Sunday s dramatic 2-1 defeat at home to Serbia in Lisbon.

Requiring only a draw to book their trip to Qatar in Group A, Portugal were on track after Renato Sanches and Dusan Tadic traded goals in the opening half.

However, Aleksandar Mitrovic came off the bench and scored in the 90th minute to send Serbia to the showpiece tournament.

Portugal superstar and captain Ronaldo cut a frustrated figure afterwards, gesturing as coach Santos approached him on the pitch post-game.

But Santos insisted R…

One in the eye for Liverpool as midfielder Jones remains sidelined

Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones will be out of action for several more weeks due to his freak eye injury.

Jones did not play in Liverpool s last two matches before the international break, missing a win over Atletico Madrid and a defeat to West Ham.

Manager Jurgen Klopp confirmed at the time the youngster had sustained an injury in training, describing it as a finger to the eye .

However, ahead of Saturday s home match with Arsenal, Liverpool have announced the 20-year-old academy graduate is facing a longer spell out than initially anticipated.

It s a freak injury and very unlucky, but the important thing to emphasise is there is no lasting damage and his vision won t be impacted beyond the recovery period, club doctor Jim Moxon told Liverpool s offi…
