“We continue to prepare for the European Championships”
Judoist of the Azerbaijani national team Hidayat Heydarov (73 kg) told İdman.biz.

Mohammedans final is against arch-rivals Abahani 2024-04-17 19:25:21
The last Premier Hockey League match between Mohammedan and Abahani took the form of ‘Undeclared Final’. Mohammedan must win the last match to regain the title. Any other result will break the dreams of white and black.
Mohammedan finished the first phase of the league at the top of the table. They suffered a major setback in the Super Six by losing a crucial match against the Mariners.
Jimmy’s team is back on top after beating Usha 6-5 after a fierce competition on Tuesday. Now they need a win. That match was against Abahani on April 19.
Abahani is not the same equation as Mohammedan is a champion if he wins. Before that match, another title contender and reigning champion Mariners will play two matches against Ajax and Police. If they win, their points will be 37. If Abahani wins, they will also have 37 points. Then the two teams have to play a playoff to decide the title.
There are four remaining league matches. In this situation, Mohammedan is at the top with 35 points, Abahani is in second place with 34 points and Mariners is third with 31 points. If the Mariners lose any points in the two matches,
BVB coup: Nagelsmann cant get past this Brandt
As of: April 17, 2024 10:08 a.m
Julian Nagelsmann will also draw his insights from Borussia Dortmund’s big gala in the quarter-finals of the Champions League against Atlético Madrid. Most recently, the national coach had sorted out almost all BVB players – it shouldn’t stay that way.
Julian Brandt was asked what he would do next summer shortly after the 4-2 triumph on Tuesday evening (April 16, 2024). The BVB international naturally knew that the question was aimed at his possible participation in the European Championship in Germany, which had recently become a long way off.
Brandt was not in the squad for the important friendly victories against France and the Netherlands, just like his Dortmund club colleagues Mats Hummels, Emre Can, Nico Schlotterbeck, Niklas Süle and Karim Adeyemi. Only Niclas Füllkrug was allowed to travel, but even he was on the brink after nine competitive games without a goal and the threat of losing his regular place to Sébastien Haller.
Dortmund’s Füllkrug can overcome resistance
The night against Atlético may have changed a lot. The conviction with which Füllkrug heaved Marcel Sabitzer’s cross into the corner in the 71st minute was a strong sign: the striker can fight against resistance,

Transfer Portal Activity
During his time on the field, McClain recorded 13 tackles, one tackle for loss, and two passes defended. Notably, Colorado experienced a flurry of activity on the first day of the transfer portal, with McClain being one of nine players departing the program, including starting offensive tackle Savion Washington.
