A weakedned midfield today. But time will tell. Stay Hungary stay focused.“We hit a Hungary United at old Trafford. We will come back. I’m sure Harry saw enough today. To get better.“Thought players put in lots of effort. On today’s performance many many would have faced same result. Stay confident.”Thought players put in lots of effort.

QPR v Leeds player ratings
See also:Austin gives QPR victory over LeedsApplause for Sandro after QPR winWarnock jokes about abuse from Leeds United fansRangers consider move for Jackett Charlie Austin scored with his first touch after coming on as a substitute to give QPR a deserved win. Here’s how we rated each Rangers player against Leeds.Rob Green: 6Lucky in the first half when his rash decision to rush out of his box went unpunished. Was rarely called into action. AdChoices广告James Perch: 6A solid performance at the back, although he was hardly tested by a poor Leeds side.Grant Hall: 7Another excellent display from the defender, who snuffed out any danger that came his way and dealt well with the physical presence of Chris Wood.Nedum Onuoha: 7Played well and went close with a thunderous 25-yard drive that whistled just over the bar.Paul Konchesky: 6Also rarely tested, but had to defend resolutely in the final 10 minutes and was quick to avert the danger when a dangerous late cross threatened QPR late on.Michael Petrasso: 7Handed his first QPR start and the Canadian was a lively presence on the right of midfield. Deserves a run in the side on this evidence.Sandro: 7The Brazilian flew into a number of challenges in the first half – he has to be careful when launching off the ground into a tackle. He allowed Alejandro Faurlin to be the creative spark in the middle.Alejandro Faurlin: 8A fine game from Faurlin, whose great corner led to the goal. He also came close himself with a 25-yard effort that curled just wide. If he and Sandro can stay fit there’s a really exciting partnership in the making.Yun Suk-Young: 6Worked hard off the ball and tried to get involved going forward, but struggled to make an impact.Junior Hoilett: 7A good display on his return to the side. Workmanlike rather than spectacular, and certainly a willing runner.Matt Phillips: 7Worked hard up front and in wide areas.Charlie Austin: 8Made an immediate impact, although he was gifted space to head home. He was also denied 10 minutes later by a stunning save from Marco Silvestri.Tjaronn Chery: 7Lively after coming on. Always looked for the ball and was part of the double act that helped to push the game further in Rangers’ favour. Perhaps needs a few cameo appearances like this one to build his confidence and regain the form of his first few games. Follow West London Sport on TwitterFind us on Facebook

It got me thinking about the old Kansas City Kings. I wondered if it would look good to use the current Sacramento Kings logos and turn them into KC Kings logos. They are rumored to be a possible tennant for the Sprint Center.so without further ado…….Coming soon, more possible teams that are looking at Kansas City.C&C is always welcomed. 0 0 0 1,129 Link to post Great logos Streeter!!!

Indeed this and my future concepts are wishful, somewhat unlikely cenarios. But I think that most, if not all, are based on SOME sort of talk. Talk is cheap so take it for that. But I think it’s interesting to see who it looks to juxtapose their position.If anyone else would like to do similar concepts I think that would be cool. I’d be interested to see what someone else could come up with. 0 1,247 I used the “Kansas City” font because I’m didn’t want to create a new one. Perhaps later I will endulge in spending time doing so. I did however spend the time to match the correct font in the Primary Logo. That was fun I guess that’s just my “Cut Up” style.The Kings have been rumored because they were unable to get a new arena in Sac-town. The Maloofs have said it might be something they have to do.

The rumor’s been floating around Sacramento for awhile especaially since the Downtown Arena plans fell through as well as the proposed Natomas area arena. Speculation’s been if the team moves they would go to Las Vegas as the Maloof’s have numerous holdings there. However, the talk of moving died down as of late. Mac the Knife The secondary logo with “KC” makes a lot of sense, as opposed to the”SK” they have now. All in all, this is a pretty decent concept. I suppose if the Kings are really rumoured to move to KC, I’d say if the Raiders can go home again, why not the Kings? Besides, as much as I think Sacramento is a pleasant city, I never saw them competing at a major league level.

But I like your idea of transferring them BACK to KC. I’d like for someone to do a concept for this team if they transferred back to their ORIGINAL home city of Rochester as the ROYALS. KC changed the name to Kings because of the baseball Royals, even though the two nicknames were totally unrelated..The Rochester Royals were once known as the Seagrams because their sponsor was a local whiskey distributor (Eber Brothers). They changed upon entering the NBL and took the name “ROYALS” from Seagram’s Crown Royal whiskey. I’d love to see a concept using the script wordmark off of the Crown Royal sack the bottle comes in. For their primary logo you could use the actual crown from Crown Royal sitting on a basketball.The Royals colors were always red, white and royal. I know purple is the “royal” color and the Crown Royal whiskey sack is purple with gold embroidery.Maybe someone could do them both ways. This might fall into the request category, but I came here because I felt it would get more views. 0 Share this post Share on other sites
Members NJTank GeorgesL I’m with 2R/2Ls on that – that tertiary is ridiculously good. If it’s their property, it’s underutilized. If that’s yours, you’ve gotta go track down the Maloofs and talk about a licensing deal.I like the set, but I don’t know if the Royals’ “KANSAS CITY” font goes with the style of numbers the Kings use, or with their home wordmark. And even though I like the old-school alts more than either one of the jerseys they use now, they don’t really fit in with the present look. Maybe they could take some elements from the old sets and put them into a more modern look – incorporate the colors, or put the last names under the numbers on the back.

Defender is on Manchester United’s radar – Club looking to push…
Every time we see that the Portuguese media has a story about Ruben Dias, we check if Manchester United are being mentioned once again. It’s happened one more time this morning, since Lisbon newspaper Record has the Benfica defender on their front page.The outlet claims the Eagles are planning to make Dias new Luisão, who made over 500 appearances for the club, and retired last year.For that to happen, club president Luís Felipe Vieira is looking to give him a new contract, raising his release clause from €66m to €88m, and making him the new club captain.Embed from Getty ImagesAt the end of the story, Manchester United are mentioned. Record writes that Dias remains on the radar of rich clubs such as the Red Devils, Juventus and Atletico Madrid.They recall that Benfica have stopped Lyon from signing the player in the past, and should continue to fight to keep him in the squad for many years.So for any of these clubs to get Dias, they should trigger the release clause before it gets too high.by Taboolaby TaboolaSponsored LinksSponsored LinksPromoted LinksPromoted LinksTrending TodayForge of Empires – Free Online GameWill You Build The Most Beautiful City?Forge of Empires – Free Online GameUndo聽多多 Hearmore.asia1969年前出生的香港居民現可免費試戴頂尖的歐洲助聽器聽多多 Hearmore.asiaUndoCNN with DBS BankWhat Banks Did To Help Corporations Mitigate Future CrisesCNN with DBS BankUndoLoans | Search AdsNeed a loan?

Barcelona seems to have found the perfect replacement for Messi
Barcelona sees Juventus star Paulo Dybala as an ideal replacement for Leo Messi if the Argentine genius requests a transfer. This was reported by Tuttosport.The situation in both clubs is tense, especially at the “Camp Nou”, where they are preparing a lot of changes after the humiliating 2: 8 from Bayern Munich in the Champions League. The first was the appointment of Ronald Koeman as coach in place of Kike Setien.The Dutchman has already had a conversation with Messi, in which the six-time winner of the Golden Ball told him that he is currently closer to the exit. Leo is furious that details of his conversation with Kuman immediately leaked to the media.His agreement with Barcelona is until 2021 and if it is not renewed soon, it is possible to reach a transfer. His name is associated with PSG, Inter and Manchester City. Dibala, on the other hand, cannot yet negotiate a new contract with Juve. According to the media of Botusha, he wants 15 million euros per season, which in practice will be a doubling of his current salary. For now, the Turinese are refusing to pay him that much because the club has suffered financial losses due to the coronavirus pandemic.Read more news from the world of football in Gol.bgWorks on the publication: Kamelia Tsvetanova
Montague boys squad shakes off slow start, beats improving Hart Pirates 54-39
DEAL OF THE DAY Inappropriate / Offensive Bestseller Bestseller Not relevant DEAL OF THE DAY By Dave TomczakLocalSportsJournal.comMONTAGUE – After a less than stellar start, the Montague’ boys basketball team used the long ball to jump start its offense on Friday.The host Wildcats knocked down four second-quarter 3’s to pull away from Hart, 54-39, in West Michigan Conference action.Montague improved its conference record to 6-5 overall with the win, and 4-4 in the league. Hart drops to 7-5 overall and 3-5 in the WMC.With the game tied 7-7 after the first quarter, the Wildcats started the second quarter with a 16-2 run, including back-to-back-to-back 3-pointers from Kenyan Johnston (who had two) and Nick Stever.Hunter Mosher gets ready to make the move down low against Hart’s Alec Kempker. Photo/Leo Valdez“Offensively, we were a little sloppy in the first quarter,” said Montague coach David Osborne. “But our defense was fine, and we were able to hold them down offensively, too.”The Pirates’ Hunter Tubbs hit four free throws in the final minute of the first half to pull his team within 10 points, 23-13, at the break.Hart’s offense came alive in the third quarter, scoring 15 points, but Montague moved inside, running its offense through center Hunter Mosher, who either attacked the rim or kicked the ball back out to open guards.Although the Pirates were able to cut the lead to eight with less than a minute left in the third, the Wildcats still scored 16 points in the quarter and headed to the fourth with a 39-28 lead.Johnston put an exclamation point on the quarter by nailing a long-distance 3-pointer at the buzzer.“Hunter wasn’t very active in the first half, so I challenged him at the half,” Osborne said about Mosher. “He picked it up in the second half, and that helped open things up for us from the outside.”Mosher scored six of his 11 points in the final quarter as Montague pulled away with a 15-11 scoring advantage.Montague was led in scoring by Stever with 17 points, Johnston had 13, and Mosher finished with nine rebounds and three blocks.Tubbs led the Pirates with 20 points, and Alec Kempker grabbed 10 rebounds.O’rian Torres drives to the hoop against Montague’s Drew Collins.

New center field backdrop has Dodgers hitters adjusting
Last Updated: 9th July, 2020 07:53 IST New Center Field Backdrop Has Dodgers Hitters Adjusting The Los Angeles Dodgers were eager to show off $100 million worth of stadium renovations to fans and a national audience at the All-Star Game this summer Written By Associated Press Television News SUBSCRIBE TO US First Published: 9th July, 2020 07:53 IST FOLLOW US
WATCH US LIVE The Los Angeles Dodgers were eager to show off $100 million worth of stadium renovations to fans and a national audience at the All-Star Game this summer.Turns out, it appears only players are going to see the changes up close this season because of the coronavirus pandemic, which will keep the public out of the ballpark for at least the early portion of a 60-game schedule that begins July 23. The Dodgers won’t host the All-Star festivities until 2022.The black tarp that served as the backdrop in center field is gone, replaced by a new center field plaza that may take some getting used to for hitters.First baseman Max Muncy was hit by a pitch on his left ring finger during the team’s intrasquad game Tuesday.“I couldn’t really see the ball,” he said Wednesday on a video conference call. “I’m trying to adjust to some of the changes out there.”Muncy said he’ll stop swinging a bat while his finger heals, but he expects to be ready for opening day.The new batter’s eye has a bar on top of it that is out of the hitters’ view but where fans can watch the game — under normal circumstances. There’s a new pedestrian walkway behind the speaker towers in center field that encircles the stadium.“It’s different from what we’re used to,” Muncy said. “Pitchers are pretty happy about the batter’s eye out there.”Manager Dave Roberts said, “You don’t want a player to not be able to see, to put him in harm’s way. For Max to say he couldn’t see the ball because of the background, that’s a little unsettling.”Meanwhile, closer Kenley Jansen, outfielder A.J. Pollock, infielder Gavin Lux, catching prospect Keibert Ruiz and pitchers Scott Alexander, Pedro Báez and Tony Gonsolin haven’t reported to Dodger Stadium since summer camp began a week ago.Roberts has said he can’t comment on the reasons for the absences.“I’m hopeful we’ll get all those guys back soon,” he said.Teams are prohibited from saying whether a player tested positive for COVID-19 unless the player gives permission. The COVID-19 injured list, which has been added during the pandemic, will be kept confidential.Roberts and President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman have said there have been positive tests among players, but didn’t reveal any names.The Dodgers have 2 1/2 weeks of workouts and three exhibition games to prepare for the shortened season.“Being late to summer camp certainly puts them behind the 8-ball because of the repetitions, getting your legs under you, getting the at-bats, the innings, building up, all that stuff. Certainly it makes it a little more difficult,” Roberts said.Each of the missing players figures to have a role in the team’s push to return to the World Series after losing in back-to-back appearances in 2017 and 2018.Jansen has been the team’s closer since 2012 and earned his 300th career save last year. Pollock hit .266 with 15 home runs and 47 RBIs in 86 games last season, when he missed 2 1/2 months because of an elbow injury. Pollock’s wife gave birth to a girl three months prematurely in May.“If there’s any chance of putting her at risk, it gets to be a difficult decision,” Pollock told SportsNetLA, the team’s TV network, last month.Báez and Alexander would work in relief. Gonsolin is among those in the running to fill David Price’s spot in the starting rotation. Lux was a September call-up last year who homered in his first at-bat in his postseason debut. Ruiz could make his debut this season.The Dodgers will be without Price and right-hander Jimmy Nelson this year. Price has decided to sit out after being acquired from Boston last offseason, while Nelson underwent back surgery and is out for the season.NOTES: RHP AJ Ramos, added to the 60-man player pool, threw a 30-pitch bullpen Tuesday. The former All-Star reliever last pitched for the Mets in 2018, going 2-2 with a 6.41 ERA in 28 appearances.Image credits: AP LIVE TV COMMENT
Trial of former athletics chief Diack for doping cover-up to begin
PARIS, (Reuters) – Lamine Diack, the disgraced former head of athletics’ governing body, goes on trial in Paris today on charges of corruption and money laundering linked to a Russian doping scandal. Prosecutors allege he solicited 3.45 million euros ($3.89 million) from athletes suspected of doping to cover up the allegations and allow them to continue competing, including in the 2012 London Olympics.Diack, who turned 87 on Sunday, has denied wrongdoing. His lawyers have said the accusations are baseless.Diack, from Senegal, led the governing IAAF, now renamed World Athletics, from 1999-2015 and was among the most influential men in the sport. He lives under house arrest in Paris and faces a jail sentence of up to 10 years if convicted. The trial had been due to start in January but was postponed after new documents containing testimony from his son and co-defendant, Papa Massata Diack, were submitted to the court.Senegal has refused to extradite Papa Massata, who worked as a marketing consultant for the IAAF. He also faces charges of money laundering, corruption and breach of trust, according to the indictment, and will be tried in absentia.The other defendants are Habib Cisse, Diack’s former lawyer at the IAAF; Gabriel Dolle, who oversaw doping tests at the IAAF; and Russians Valentin Balakhnitchev and Alexei Melnikov, who were Russia’s athletics’ federation chief and head athletics coach respectively at the time of the alleged cover-up. Investigators at the French National Financial Prosecutor’s Office (PNF) describe a web of corruption in world athletics under Diack’s leadership.In a separate case, French prosecutors are investigating alleged bribes related to the Olympics and World Athletics Championships.They suspect Tokyo’s bidding committee bribed the Diacks in 2013 to secure votes, which the committee has denied. Sebastian Coe, Diack’s successor, has undertaken to rebuild trust in athletics and has introduced changes to the sport’s governance.
