Hamburger SV signs Israel goalkeeper Daniel Peretz on loan from Bayern Munich
HAMBURG, Germany (AP) — Israel goalkeeper Daniel Peretz is joining promoted Hamburger SV from Bayern Munich on loan for next season. 'Daniel has continued to develop at FC Bayern over the past two years, and we are very pleased with him,' Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund said Monday. 'He has really good skills and an outstanding character. He's always reliable in our goalkeeping team led by Manuel Neuer. Now he'll gain further experience and plenty of Bundesliga minutes at Hamburger SV.' That's not a given, as established goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes is a club favorite at Hamburg after helping it to promotion last season. The 32-year-old Heuer Fernandes showed he's in fine form with several saves in a friendly game at Austrian team Sturm Graz on Saturday. The 25-year-old Peretz made seven competitive appearances for Bayern since joining from Maccabi Tel Aviv in 2023, but found it hard to break through with Neuer still preferred as No. 1 and Bayern signing the 21-year-old Jonas Urbig from Cologne in January. Peretz has also played seven games for Israel. ___ AP soccer:

Euro 2025: England coach Wiegman says Jess Carter is ready for semifinal despite online abuse
GENEVA (AP) — England defender Jess Carter is ready to play in the Women's European Championship semifinals after being targeted with racist abuse online, her coach Sarina Wiegman said Monday, adding that it's 'sad' and 'disgusting' that the team has to deal with such an issue. Defending champion England plays Italy on Tuesday, two days after Carter, who is Black, revealed she was subjected to racist abuse this month that was reported to police at home. 'She's ready to perform and to compete. That says also a lot about her and about the team,' Wiegman said at the Geneva stadium. 'Of course, it's really sad that we have to be occupied by this,' the coach added. 'It's ridiculous, it's disgusting what's happening and that goes beyond football.' England trailed by two goals after a rough first half-hour against Sweden in the quarterfinals in Zurich, then rallied late to level the game. England won a memorably chaotic penalty shootout. Carter is 'not the only one that gets this abuse or this racism,' Wiegman said, adding her team was ready to send a 'message to the world.' England midfielder Georgia Stanway said the collective support for Carter 'probably brought us together as a team.' England players talked about the abuse, Stanway said: 'A few people want to come off social media because they're fed up with it.' Tournament organizer UEFA, like world soccer body FIFA and the International Olympic Committee, try to protect athletes with online platforms that flag up abusive posts reported to social media operators. UEFA acknowledged last week this strategy has limited success because of the regulations applied by social networks. 'Although it's a hard situation, Jess is a very strong person,' Wiegman said. 'She also felt, and so did we, that we had to address this. You can't just let it go.' The 27-year-old Carter has played 49 times for England, and came to Euro 2025 after helping her club Gotham FC in New Jersey win the CONCACAF Champions Cup final. Carter's teammates at Gotham include her partner Ann-Katrin Berger, the goalkeeper who was the star of Germany's win over France in the quarterfinals. Germany plays tournament favorite Spain in the other semifinal on Wednesday in Zurich. ___ AP soccer:
