Fluminense goalkeeper Fabio matches Shilton for most competitive appearances
Fluminense's Fabio levelled Peter Shilton's longstanding record for most competitive appearances in men's soccer on Saturday when he walked out onto the pitch for the 1,390th time in his team's 2-1 win over Fortaleza in Brazil's Serie A. In a professional career spanning 28 years, goalkeeper Fabio, 44, has played senior games for Uniao Bandeirante (30), Vasco da Gama (150), Cruzeiro (976) and Fluminense (234). The total, based on research by Fluminense, has been corroborated by Brazilian outlet Globo Esporte. "God gave me this gift," Fabio told Globo when asked about the record. "I have to thank everyone who has been part of my life - my father, mother, sisters, friends, my wife... I try to be a good person. The important thing is to help my teammates. I am grateful, but without God nothing would be possible. "These are difficult games and we are facing very strong teams. We are always striving to achieve our goals, which are the titles." Fabio will move past Shilton on Tuesday if he plays when Fluminense host Colombian side America de Cali in the second leg of their Copa Sudamericana round of 16 tie. He is unlikely to stop there, however, given that he is a regular starter for Fluminense. Former England goalkeeper Shilton acknowledged in 2023 that Fabio was inching closer towards breaking his record and said he would be the first to congratulate the Brazilian if he were to do so. Shilton, who played between 1966 and 1997, is acknowledged as the record holder for the most competitive men's professional games, though the total is disputed. Guinness World Records and a number of statistics websites say the tally is 1,390 but Shilton himself, on his X feed, gives it as 1,387. The discrepancy comes from Guinness including 16 unofficial games that Shilton does not include, while he includes 13 games he played for England's Under-23s team that normally are not counted.

Good afternoon. I will try to explain the situation of De la Cruz. Player bought in another administration, without the slightest condition, as he presents a chronic and irreparable injury in the right knee, and an injury also in the left knee. As we are bipeds, we have balance and muscle balance difficulties if any limb is already affected. We are trying to do our best so he can participate, but it is very complicated. And, about the sale, only if there is some club that is interested for another reason and not to play competitive football. Sincerely", said Runco.

Brazil Stars Slam Copa America Over Poor Warm-Up Areas
BRAZILIAN players, including six-time FIFA Player of the Year Marta, have criticised CONMEBOL and the organisers of the Women's Copa America in Ecuador for requiring teams to warm-up in confined indoor areas rather than on the pitch Images circulated on social media, before Brazil's dominant victory over Bolivia in their second Group B match on Tuesday, showed players from both teams warming up side-by-side in a confined area at the Gonzalo Pozo Ripalda Stadium. According to the tournament regulations, the measure was implemented to prevent damage to the pitch, which hosts two matches in a day during the group stage. Marta, who returned from international retirement to participate in the continental tournament, voiced her frustration over the situation. 'It's been a long time since I played in a tournament here in South America, and we were saddened by these circumstances,' the 39-year-old striker told Brazilian outlet Globo Esporte. 'Athletes are expected to perform well and work hard, but we also have to demand a high level of organisation. 'There wasn't enough space for both teams, but both wanted to prepare. I really don't understand why we can't warm up on the pitch. 'This is a problem for us because it's very hot inside, on top of the altitude. We hope that CONMEBOL changes some things and improves the situation.' Coach Arthur Elias echoed Marta's concerns, emphasizing that the conditions pose risks to players. 'We shouldn't have to demand that those responsible for football do their job, just as the players do on the pitch and I do as a coach,' he said. 'The issue of warm-ups worries me a lot ... This is crucial for the players' health and for the match, because when both teams don't warm up on the pitch, they take longer to get going.' Midfielder Ary Borges directed criticism at CONMEBOL president Alejandro Dominguez, highlighting the disparity between men's and women's tournaments. 'Even amateur matches are better organised than what we have here. Ask Alejandro if he could warm-up in a space measuring five or 10 metres and smelling of paint,' she said. 'I think we had an example of this with the Men's Copa America, with its huge infrastructure. Why is the women's tournament having to deal with this kind of thing? 'This is something he needs to address, as president. I think we deserve better.' CONMEBOL did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters- REUTERS

Brazil legend Marta hits out at Copa America conditions
Brazil women's national team players, including Marta, have hit out at the conditions at the Copa América Femenina in Ecuador. Players for both Brazil and Bolivia were forced to warm up in a small indoor area prior to Wednesday's game at the Estadio Gonzalo Pozo Ripalda in Quito, rather than on the field. According to tournament regulations, the measures are being taken to protect the fields prior to doubleheaders. But after photos of the cramped warm-ups went viral online, Marta said that CONMEBOL needed to do better. "It's been a long time since I played in a tournament here in South America, and we were saddened by these circumstances," the 39-year-old striker told Globo Esporte. "Athletes are expected to perform well and work hard, but we also have to demand a high level of organization. "There wasn't enough space for both teams, but both wanted to prepare. I really don't understand why we can't warm up on the pitch. "This is a problem for us because it's very hot inside, on top of the altitude. We hope that CONMEBOL changes some things and improves the situation." Brazil midfielder Ary Borges took direct aim at CONMEBOL president Alejandro Domínguez in her remarks. "Even amateur matches are better organized than what we have here. Ask Alejandro if he could warm-up in a space measuring five or 10 meters and smelling of paint," she said. In addition to the warm-up conditions, CONMEBOL has been criticized for a lack of VAR at the tournament. Brazil coach Arthur Elias echoed his players' concerns over the warm-up conditions. "We shouldn't have to demand that those responsible for football do their job, just as the players do on the pitch and I do as a coach," he said. "The issue of warm-ups worries me a lot ... This is crucial for the players' health and for the match, because when both teams don't warm up on the pitch, they take longer to get going."
