James Rodrguezs Uncertain Future at Sao Paulo: Imminent Departure and Future Plans
James Rodríguez’s future in Sao Paulo is in the news again. The Colombian player is not taken into account by Luis Zubeldía, completing just 5 minutes of play under his technical direction. On Sunday he was once again left out of the squad for the second consecutive game.
“I am here to make decisions. If James is not here it is because I think other colleagues need to be here. I understand that a player like him will always be talked about, but I am clear about my profession, my responsibilities. A coach lives to make decisions. We work to ensure that they are in favor of the group and that they are, for the most part, positive,” said Zubeldía after the 1-3 victory against Vitória.
The Brazilian press is already talking about James’ imminent departure in June. Sao Paulo knows that selling the Colombian is difficult and their idea is to let him go for free to a club that is committed to paying his signing. The Brazilian team would save almost 300,000 dollars per month salary in a contract that runs until mid-2025.
“I had already said last week that James’s days were numbered.

BCB President is afraid of Shanta-Littons batting 2024-05-07 03:44:53
Bangladesh easily won the first two of the five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe. But there is dissatisfaction. Captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto said the same after winning the second match on Sunday. In both the matches, after the great bowling of the pacers, the hosts stopped Zimbabwe by a few runs. But the batting of the top order batsmen at the target is alarming. Despite winning the first match by 8 wickets, Bangladesh batted till 16 overs to reach the target of 125 runs. In the next match, they had to play up to 19 overs to reach the target of 139 runs. BCB president Nazmul Hasan Papon has expressed doubt after seeing such batting of Bangladesh.
Papon spoke to the media after handing over the title to Dhaka Premier League champions Abahani Limited at the Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Monday. He is afraid of Bangladesh’s batting, ‘We won two matches easily against Zimbabwe. It is true that the batting was not good. Batting is very scary.’
Despite fear of batting, the board chief is satisfied with bowling. Praising Mostafizur Rahman, who has played in the IPL along with Saifuddin, Taskin, he said, ‘I have seen two matches in the series against Zimbabwe.
Gregor Kobel as support for BVB: Another zero in the final
As of: May 6, 2024 10:26 p.m
Borussia Dortmund goes into the second leg at Paris Saint-Germain with a narrow lead. A second game without conceding a goal would mean reaching the final of the Champions League – and goalkeeper Gregor Kobel would have topped the odds again.
There are all sorts of ways to show the discrepancy between the performances that Borussia Dortmund delivers in the Bundesliga and the Champions League. The most impressive thing is that BVB is one of the best four teams in Europe, but not in the Bundesliga. That could change by the end of the season, but it won’t be of much concern to Dortmund because they have a realistic chance of being one of the two best teams in Europe.

AFRICAN WOMENS CUP South Africans crush Cameroonians
The South Africans (in green) gave a rugby lesson to the Cameroonians on Saturday in Andohatapenaka.
A demonstration of strength and great control from the South Africans. The first opening match of the 2024 African Women’s Cup, which is currently being played on the grounds of the Makis Andohatapenaka stadium, in Antananarivo, saw the victory of South Africa with a score of 55-0 against the players of Cameroon, Saturday.
It was a lesson in rugby which showed that South Africans remain the leaders in Africa. To compete against them, there is still a long way to go. Cameroonians have learned a lesson that they will not soon forget.
Faced with South African supremacy, the Cameroonians managed to hold their own during the first twelve minutes, a period of observation that the South African players used to refine their strategy. Once this period was over, the South Africans took the offensive.
Based on their style of play, which involves kicking into touch and forming a scrum after receiving the ball, the South Africans struggled to get past the Cameroonian defense. The latter managed to hold on despite repeated attacks from the South Africans.
A rout
The match was interrupted in the 13th minute following the injury of a South African player,

In a gray season, far from the objectives, Chelsea finds itself in the final stretch with Europe within reach after scoring the London derby against Tottenham (2-0), in crisis, which suffered its third consecutive defeat.
With two headers, Trevor Chalobah in the first half and the Senegalese Nicolas Jackson when Tottenham was aiming for the reaction, Mauricio Pochettino’s team was reunited with victory after the defeat against Arsenal and the draw against Aston Villa, and was placed just three points behind sixth-place Manchester United, with four games still to play.
The European option is a reality. The blues have arrived better at the decisive stage of a tournament full of disappointments and with the project in question. The poor results of recent matches turned their backs on the takeoff of Pochettino’s team,
