🎙️Juanfer Quintero: "It's an honour to wear this shirt"
Without a doubt, since his arrival from Argentina, the star player has become one of the references in America with the passage of the matches.
Now, this semester, the scarlet team still cannot show a 100% reliable image due to the fact that it has suffered many ups and downs. One of them was precisely against Huracán in the Copa Sudamericana where they should have won, but couldn't. In response to this, Juanfer posted a story on his Instagram to bring calmness.'A pride to represent this jersey and a pleasure to compete with my teammates... the road that remains is beautiful'

Jared Cannonier vs. Michael Page prediction, pick, start time for UFC 319
Jared Cannonier and Michael Page meet on the main card of UFC 319 at United Center in Chicago. Check out this quick breakdown of the matchup from MMA Junkie analyst Dan Tom. Last event: 4-2 UFC main cards, 2025: 80-60-1 Jared Cannonier vs. Michael Page UFC 319 preview Cannonier (18-8 MMA, 11-8 UFC) returned to the win column in his last outing with a fourth-round main event finish of Gregory Rodrigues in February. The result halted a two-fight skid against Nassourdine Imavov and Caio Borralho. Before those setbacks, the former title challenger won back-to-back decisions against Sean Strickland and Marvin Vettori. ... Page (23-3 MMA, 2-1 UFC) picked up his second UFC win in February, earning a unanimous decision nod against Shara Magomedov. A decision loss to Ian Machado Garry followed his debut decision win over Kevin Holland. Jared Cannonier vs. Michael Page UFC 319 expert pick, prediction Serving as a strange offering at middleweight is a matchup between Jared Cannonier and Michael Page. I'm not sure if Page even wants to fight at 185 pounds again or if this is just another case of the UFC desperately needing to fill their event schedule by any means necessary, but this fight could leave a lot of us feeling silly for ignoring Cannonier's size and on-paper grappling edge in this spot. And though I'm tempted to take a flier on the 41-year-old underdog after seeing him attend the pre-fight pressers looking like Omar from "The Wire," I can't ignore the fact that counter fighters with jabs and footwork have traditionally proven to be stylistic kryptonite for Cannonier. There is a shocking finishing upside for fighters here, but I'll officially pick Page to peck away at Cannonier from range in a fight that could be frustrating to watch. Jared Cannonier vs. Michael Page UFC 319 odds The oddsmakers and the public are favoring the English fighter, listing Page -194 and Cannonier +162 via FanDuel Jared Cannonier vs. Michael Page UFC 319 start time, how to watch Cannonier and Page are expected to walk to the cage at approximately 10:40 p.m. ET. The fight broadcasts live on ESPN+ pay-per-view.

The docuseries ‘Built in Birmingham: Brady & the Blues' isn't bad, except the Tom Brady parts
Well, here's the basic timeline. Appreciated every extraordinary thing he did on the field during his 20 years with the Patriots … recognized he was getting weird on us with stuff like the Alex Guerrero connection, offensively overpriced TB12 gear, and the no-mushroom policy, but hey, his unprecedented late-career excellence made for a heck of a case on his behalf … cringed when the formerly down-to-earth young QB who used to chug beers faster than his linemen started pushing crypto and running with the oligarch class… watched almost every broadcast of his rookie season as Fox's lead NFL analyst last fall, eventually concluding that the reason he didn't show much personality is that it might not be there to show … But the tipping point that brought on the aforementioned realization was Brady's behavior in his version of a current trend among the rich, famous, and presumably bored — buying an English soccer team, and making a documentary about it in which the star is the rescuing hero. Advertisement 'Built in Birmingham: Brady & the Blues' is a five-episode docuseries that debuted at the end of July on Amazon Prime. It's about a Champions League soccer team (the second tier in English soccer, below the Premier League) that Brady and his private equity pal Tom Wagner recognize as an undervalued asset (always heart-warming when vultures find their food) and purchase, with Brady taking on minority ownership but with full boss duties. Advertisement 'Built in Birmingham' is not bad at all. The city (gritty, industrial, and full of amusingly blunt fans that will remind you of specific Ted Lasso side characters), players (the third episode, featuring star player Jay Stansfield's back story, is the best in the series), and the team (whose history roughly resembles the Red Sox' from 1919-2003) are compelling. The problem is it's far less interesting when Brady is around. He speaks to the players in bromides and banalities — 'We practice like it's the Super Bowl' — about his time with the Patriots (and Bucs), which he seems to presume these futbol players know from A to Z and XXXVI to LV. He punctuates his Cliff Notes Tony Robbins proclamations with a specific expletive so often that it's a wonder it hasn't slipped through on a Fox broadcast. Related : When he is involved, Brady — who describes his role as 'being there in a visionary role' — only seems authentic when he's belittling something or angry. He joins his friends in talking condescendingly about the city and the team as they're on he way to see the Blues' aged facilities for the first time. Before a game against Wrexham — famously owned by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney — Brady tells the camera, 'Let's go get a [expletive] win against Wrexham ... Ryan Reynolds, Mackilrey, whatever your [expletive] name is.' Advertisement When Wagner informs Brady that putting together a swag bag for visiting legend David Beckham would be considered a faux pas — Beckham never played for the team — Brady gets a look on his face that suggests Joey Galloway just ran the wrong route again. He tells Wagner through a scowl that Beckham should be gifted something anyway. He likes to talk about how he was an underdog, but he comes across as someone who can no longer remember what that was like, or what he was like. The most off-putting scene occurred in the opening episode when Brady, Wagner, and his team strategized in the back of an SUV before popping into a local pub to meet some fans for a quick public-relations opportunity and a few more Lasso vibes. 'We have to feel this one out, boys,'' Brady says. 'This is not my thing.' He's told it will only be 15 minutes. He asks if he'll be signing autographs. The pop-in is designed to make him look like a man of the people. He's friendly enough once he's in the pub, but we know how he really feels. His people these days aren't the ones chugging beers. I was hoping while watching the series that Brady might have a revelation by the fifth episode, ditch the processed corporate speak, abandon the arrogant expectation that whatever he says carries weight because of what he accomplished in the NFL, and show some authentic emotion, like he did after winning those first few Super Bowls. I was hoping any success he found in Birmingham would remind him of his best times with the Patriots, and thereby bring out genuine emotions. Related : Advertisement Instead, that happened with, of all people, Wagner, the calculating investor, who by the end is fully invested in the people on this team. I won't spoil the circumstances, because this show is worth watching, despite the Brady frustrations. In the fifth episode, Wagner makes a truly stirring and heartfelt speech, and as I was watching it, I couldn't help but think, 'Man, when the private-equity guy can summon more passion than Tom Brady, that's awfully damning.' Hmmm. Maybe Fox should give Wagner a shot as its lead NFL analyst. Tom Brady comes back to Gillette Stadium for the unveiling of this statue before the New England Patriots preseason game versus the Washington Commanders. Chad Finn can be reached at

Liverpool fan arrested after allegedly yelling racist remarks at Bournemouth star in shocking situation
A 47-year-old Liverpool fan who was last seen in a wheelchair was arrested Saturday after allegedly shouting racial slurs at Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo in a stunning scene that led to Friday's Premier League opener in England being delayed for several minutes. Meyerside police confirmed the fan was ejected from Friday's match and then announced his arrest one day later on allegations of a racially aggravated public order offense. He has been taken into custody to be interviewed.

'Last night at Anfield will stay with me forever – not because of one person's words, but because of how the entire football family stood together. To my @afcbournemouth teammates who supported me in that moment, to the @LiverpoolFC players and fans who showed their true character, to the @premierleague officials who handled it professionally – thank you,' Semenyo posted to social media Saturday. Advertisement 'Football showed its best side when it mattered most. Scoring those two goals felt like speaking the only language that truly matters on the pitch. This is why I play – for moments like these, for my teammates, for everyone who believes in what this beautiful game can be. The overwhelming messages of support from across the football world remind me why I love this sport. We keep moving forward, together.' 7 Semenyo hearing the alleged remarks. @BPINewsOrg/X The uplifting message came after he previously posted to his Instagram Story a message sent to him with racially charged images, which he captioned: 'When will it stop……' Advertisement The shocking scene unfolded in the 28th minute of a scoreless game during the Premier League's opener in Liverpool. 7 Semenyo (second from right) while the game was stopped. AP While Semenyo waited to throw the ball in during the first half of the 4-2 loss, a fan wearing Liverpool gear moved to the front row and made animated gestures toward Semenyo before moving back. Advertisement Semenyo informed referee Anthony Taylor of what transpired, which led to the delay when Taylor told the two managers — Liverpool's Arne Slot and Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola — about the situation. Reports stated the game was delayed for two to three minutes. The Premier League released a statement alleging 'discriminatory abuse from the crowd' that resulted in an investigation, while Liverpool condemned the fan's alleged behavior. 'The incident at Anfield will now be fully investigated. We offer our full support to the player and both clubs,' the Premier League said. 'Racism has no place in our game, or anywhere in society. 'We will continue to work with stakeholders and authorities to ensure our stadiums are an inclusive and welcoming environment for all.' Semenyo responded by tallying both of his goals in the second half, and teammate Adam Smith told Sky Sports that Semenyo's toughness to handle it all showed his character. 'It shouldn't be happening,' Smith told the outlet, as transcribed by ESPN. 'I don't know how Ant's played on to be honest and come up with those goals. It's totally unacceptable.

'To be fair, the Liverpool players were very supportive as well towards Antoine and the rest of the team. It was handled in the right way but … so angry.' Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk also spoke out in support of his opponent, calling it a 'disgrace.' 7 Semenyo celebrates during Friday's match. AFP via Getty Images Advertisement 'I can't believe it,' he told Sky Sports. 'These things shouldn't happen but unfortunately it does and it is an absolute disgrace in my eyes. 'First and foremost, these things should never happen in the world, not only football. But in general, racism is not of this world in my opinion, but if we are to be realistic, unfortunately, it still exists and that is the painful side of it. 'We have to deal with it in the here and now.' 7 Referee Anthony Taylor looks on with AFC Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola and Liverpool manager Arne Slot after the game was paused due to a report of racial abuse from the crowd by AFC Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo.
