Soccer-Wales' most-cappted keeper Hennessey retires at 38
(Reuters) -Wayne Hennessey, the most-capped goalkeeper in Wales history, retired at the age of 38 after representing his country in 109 matches, the Football Association of Wales (FAW) said on Wednesday.
Hennessey made over 100 league appearances each for Wolverhampton Wanderers and Crystal Palace, reaching the FA Cup final in 2016 with the latter. He was at Nottingham Forest last season but did not make an appearance.
The Bangor-born player was part of the Wales squad that reached the semi-finals of the Euros in 2016, also appearing in the 2022 World Cup. He last played for Wales in November 2023 in a friendly against Gibraltar.
'I have decided to bring my playing career to an end, I look back with gratitude and forward with optimism as I take the next steps on my footballing journey," Hennessey said in a statement.

Soccer-England have created their own luck at Euro 2025, says Walsh
FILE PHOTO: Soccer Football - UEFA Women's Euro 2025 - Semi Final - England v Italy - Stade de Geneve, Lancy, Switzerland - July 22, 2025 Italy's Elisabetta Oliviero in action with England's Keira Walsh REUTERS/Piroschka Van De Wouw/File Photo ZURICH (Reuters) -England midfielder Keira Walsh disagrees with fan chatter that her team have been lucky at the European championships, arguing that the reigning champions have created their own fortune, largely through sheer stubborn belief. Late goals by 19-year-old Michelle Agyemang saved England at the brink in both their quarter-final against Sweden and semi against Italy to set up Sunday's Euro 2025 decider against world champions Spain. "Maybe it looks like chaos but for us it doesn't feel like that," Walsh said at England's training base on Thursday. "I've heard that people have been saying that it was luck. But you create those moments yourself, through belief, determination, confidence. "I think it's not by luck that Michelle's in the box and scoring. It is not luck that people are putting crosses into the box. It's thought out, it's purposeful. "And I think it's the absolute belief that no matter what minute of the game it is, we're going to win or we're going to get a result that we need to take us to extra time. I think that's kind of the resilience of this team as well." The referee was starting to glance at her watch when Agyemang struck in the 96th minute against Italy on Tuesday to send the game to extra time where Chloe Kelly smashed home the rebound of her own penalty shot. "Maybe the way we've done it is a little bit more stressful for everyone," Walsh said from England's training base on Thursday. "But that's kind of the beauty of this team, that we are relentless, and we've got belief in ourselves, that even in the 90th minute we can get a goal and we can win." REVENGE? Sunday marks England's third consecutive major tournament final and a chance for revenge against the team that beat them in the 2023 World Cup final. That will not be a focus when they take the pitch in Basel though, Walsh said. "Obviously that was a massive disappointment, but I think as a football player you can be too emotional," said the Chelsea midfielder. "Just focus on the positives and not draw on that too much. You think about it a little bit but put it to the side and focus on Sunday." The team watched Spain's 1-0 win over Germany in extra time together in their hotel players' lounge on Wednesday night, and like anyone who saw the game marvelled at twice-reigning Ballon d'Or winner Aitana Bonmati's brilliant goal from a tight angle. "(It was) Bonmati magic," Walsh said. "Most players in that position wouldn't even think about shooting, they would automatically cross, it was a fantastic goal." The team have received pleading messages not to let Sunday's final go to extra time, while midfielder Georgia Stanway's dad has said his nerves are shot. Walsh laughed and said never mind the families. "Sitting there for us is equally not nice." (Reporting by Lori Ewing; Editing by Andrew Cawthorne)

Indian football 'hurt, scared' as domestic game hits fresh low
NEW DELHI: Former Fifa president Sepp Blatter once called India a "sleeping giant" of football, but the sport is mired in fresh crisis in the country and faces problems from the top down to grassroots. The men's national team are without a coach and the Indian Super League (ISL) – India's top competition – is in danger of collapsing over a dispute between the federation and its commercial partner. "Everybody in the Indian football ecosystem is worried, hurt, scared about the uncertainty we are faced with," Sunil Chhetri, the celebrated veteran striker, wrote on X about the fate of the ISL. The former national skipper unwittingly summed up one of the issues facing Indian football when he came out of international retirement in March aged 40. The striker has 95 goals for his country and is only behind Cristiano Ronaldo (138), Lionel Messi (112) and Ali Daei (108) in the all-time international scoring charts. His best days are well behind him, but with no younger replacements coming through he returned to the national side. India's men are 133rd in the Fifa rankings – their lowest placing in nearly a decade – and have won just one of their last 16 matches. They have never reached the World Cup and Spaniard Manolo Marquez stepped down this month as head coach after just one year and one win in eight games. His last act was to oversee a 1-0 defeat in Asian Cup qualifying to Hong Kong, population 7.5 million to India's 1.4 billion. The ISL is usually played between September and April. But a rights agreement between the All India Football Federation (AIFF) and Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL), the company which runs the ISL, ends on Dec 8 and is yet to be renewed. The league is now paralysed ahead of the new campaign and the uncertainty has affected over 5,000 players, coaches, staff and others. National football team director and former captain Subrata Paul is confident the sport in India – a country obsessed with cricket – will come out stronger. "Indian football, like any growing ecosystem, will face its share of challenges and transitions," Paul, regarded as one of India's best-ever goalkeepers, told AFP. "I see this as a time to pause, reflect and refocus. Yes, the recent results and the uncertainty around the ISL are difficult for all of us who love the game, but I see a silver lining as well. "It's an opportunity to strengthen our foundation by investing in youth development, infrastructure and quality coaching." The franchise-based ISL started in 2014 as a league that brought global stars including Italy's Alessandro Del Piero to India, and aimed to promote the game in a new avatar. Bur rather than boom, the ISL has seen dwindling TV ratings and falling sponsor interest. Football's global bosses have long been keen to tap the potential that India has as the world's most populous country. Arsene Wenger, the former Arsenal manager and now Fifa's chief of global football development, visited in 2023 to inaugurate an academy. AIFF president Kalyan Chaubey – who is also a politician with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party – last month met Wenger, who has backed India's football development, particularly at grassroots level. Chaubey said Wenger believes starting football at 13 years of age, as is the norm in India, is too late. Players should start by eight, he said. While India have never reached the World Cup and again will be absent in North America next year, there has been modest success in the distant past. India qualified for the Olympics four times between 1948 and 1960. At the 1956 Melbourne Games India came fourth after losing the bronze-medal match to Bulgaria. Blatter in 2007 called India a "sleeping giant" – but it remains in a deep slumber. Football is a distant third in popularity in India after cricket and hockey, with the eastern city of Kolkata and the southern state of Kerala hotspots for the sport. Compounding that, there has long been mismanagement by Indian football chiefs, said veteran sports journalist Jaydeep Basu. "The fact that the team which was ranked 99 in September 2023 has come down to 133 basically shows poor management," Basu told AFP. "There is a caucus working in the AIFF of two or three people who are running the show for their own benefit," added Basu, who recently authored a book, "Who stole my football?"

Speed Skating Star Ashley Chin Earns Her Spot In MBOR
KUALA LUMPUR, July 24 (Bernama) -- Malaysia's star in short track speed skating Ashley Chin Sook Hui has been officially recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records (MBOR) as Malaysia's First Female Short Track Speed Skater to Compete in Two Asian Winter Games. In a statement today, MBOR said Ashley is the second national ice skating athlete to be inducted into the national records book, following her former teammate Bryna Ang, who earned a place in 2024 as the first Malaysian female to compete in the junior World Cup short track speed skating championship. 'The recognition honours Ashley's participation in both the 2017 Asian Winter Games in Sapporo and the 2025 edition held earlier this year in Harbin, China. 'Her return to the international stage eight years after her debut, and her selection as one of Malaysia's official flagbearers at the Harbin Games, marked a full-circle moment in a journey shaped by resilience, unwavering dedication, and love for the sport,' it said. The award was presented today at the Sunway Pyramid Ice Skating Rink, where Ashley first laced up her ice-skates. Meanwhile, MBOR chief operating officer Jwan Heah praised Ashley's outstanding contribution to Malaysian sports, noting that competing on ice at the Asian Winter Games is no easy feat, and she has done it not once, but twice. 'Malaysia is a tropical country where snow and ice are not readily available, nor are sports like skiing and ice skating part of our curriculum. And yet we are constantly inspired by athletes like Ashley who break boundaries,' he said, adding that Ashley's journey is living proof that with grit, belief, and heart, anything can be achieved. Ashley began skating at the age of 10 and quickly rose through the ranks to become one of Malaysia's most recognisable names in winter sports. In addition to her Asian Winter Games appearances, Ashley has earned a bronze medal in the 1000m event and took home gold in the 3000m women's relay at the 2017 SEA Games in Kuala Lumpur.
