📹 Santos thrashed by Mirassol, could end the round in the drop zone
In Maião, Santos lost to Mirassol 3 x 0, this Saturday (19), for the 15th round of Brasileirão 2025. After the euphoria of the victory over Flamengo in the last round, Peixe played a poor game again. In the first half, the team led by coach Cléber Xavier barely troubled goalkeeper Walter. Mirassol, on the other hand, gave goalkeeper Brazão a lot of work, as in Gabriel's beautiful first-time shot and also in Lucas Ramon's finish in the small area. After the break, the hosts' dominance translated into goals. After a corner kick and a deflection at the first post, Da Costa (23') finished almost under the crossbar to open the scoring for Mirassol. Next, Carlos Eduardo crossed from the right, and left-back Reinaldo appeared as a center forward in the area to extend the lead. Neymar - Santos' big name and author of the winning goal against Flamengo - did not perform well in his second consecutive match. Due to repeated injuries, the last time Neymar played two full games in a row was in 2023, for Al-Hilal, from Saudi Arabia. In extra time, Alesson made a CARNIVAL on the sideline over the Santos marking and served Cristian, who finished in Brazão's corner to put a stylish end to the match.🚦 How it stands With the result, Mirassol, which has not lost since the seventh round, reached 21 points and moved up to seventh position. Santos remained with 14 points and in 14th place. The problem is that Internacional (14 points), São Paulo (13 points) and Vitória (12 points) still play in the round and can push Peixe back to the Z-4. Santos, in fact, returns to the field next Wednesday (23), when it hosts Internacional, at Vila Belmiro, for the 16th round.

Chicago Bears training camp preview: Special teams
Chicago Bears training camp is just around the corner, which means it's time to start looking ahead at the roster the team is bringing to Lake Forest. We're unveiling our Bears 2025 training camp position previews, where we're breaking down every player by position and examining the biggest question facing the group. We're wrapping things up with special teams, which returns special teams coordinator Richard Hightower, as well as its starting unit in kicker Cairo Santos, punter Tory Taylor and long snapper Scott Daly for a second season. But there are lingering questions about whether Santos is the guy, especially after some kicking struggles last season. Let's take a look at the Bears' specialists heading into training camp: Cairo Santos, K Cairo Santos has brought stability to the Bears kicking position which had been lacking since Robbie Gould. But Santos had his worst season since joining the Bears. He wasn't terrible, but there were some notable ups and downs. He connected on just 84% of his field goals in 2024, which was his lowest since signing with Chicago. His biggest struggle came in the 40-49 range, where he connected on just 5-of-8. By contrast, Santos made every field goal but one beyond 50 yards, including the game-winner against the Packers in the season finale. Santos' longest field goal of the season was a 54-yarder against the Texans in Week 2. Tory Taylor, P The Bears stunned everyone when they used a fourth-round pick on punter Tory Taylor last year, but he proved to be one of the more reliable players on the roster. In his first season with Chicago, Taylor showcased his booming leg and how he can flip the field. That's not to say his season was perfect, but he was a clear upgrade over former punter Trenton Gill. Taylor averaged 47.7 yards per punt, downed 34 punts inside the opponent's 20-yard line and his longest punt was 68 yards. Scott Daly, LS Patrick Scales had long been a mainstay at long snapper, but a back injury thrust Scott Daly into the starting lineup for the entire 2024 season. He did miss most of the Jaguars game in London, where he was replaced by tight end Cole Kmet, who won NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his emergency services. But Daly showed the Bears enough to earn a one-year contract extension and enters the 2025 season as the presumptive long snapper. Jonathan Kim, K The Bears signed Jonathan Kim as an undrafted free agent this offseason adding some competition for Cairo Santos at kicker. Last season at Michigan State, Kim connected on 90.5% of field goals, 91.7% of extra points and won Big Ten Special Teams player of the Week. Could Kim impress enough to unseat Santos for the starting job? His best bet is to show consistency and his booming leg, where he once booted a career-long 58-yard field goal during his collegiate career. Luke Elkin, LS The Bears signed Luke Elkin as an undrafted free agent this offseason, and he's certainly one to watch for the starting long snapper job. While Scott Daly didn't make any mistakes in his first season as long snapper -- and only missed most of one game -- it's certainly interesting that Elkin has experience snapping the ball to punter Tory Taylor during the pair's time at Iowa together. Will that factor into Chicago's decision at long snapper? We'll have to wait and see. Follow Bears Wire on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram

International stocks, AI beneficiaries are set to outperform in a complicated second half, JPMorgan Asset Management says
JPMorgan Asset Management says there are two areas where equity investors can continue to find returns in a complicated second half: International stocks and artificial intelligence beneficiaries. Developed markets excluding the U.S. as represented by the iShares Core MSCI International Developed Markets ETF are up more than 17% year to date. Emerging markets as represented by the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF has similarly rallied 17%. Meanwhile, the S & P 500 is up about 7% om 2025. That momentum should carry on in the latter half of the year, per, JPMorgan Asset Management. "We expect this strong momentum in international equities to continue, with some laggards catching up in the second half including Japan and India. We also expect further depreciation of the U.S. dollar, given its elevated level and the clear shift in drivers," they said in their midyear outlook report released Friday. That outperformance comes even as the U.S. increases pressure on the trade front, with President Donald Trump announcing a slew of tariffs on imported goods. "The first half of the year was really all about this huge policy form," JPMorgan Asset Management's Gabriela Santos said. "I think the second half of the years would be much more about understanding the aftermath of that form in specific areas of the economy, specific areas of the market." To be sure, Santos noted that overseas markets are coming off a low base after more than a decade of underperformance, at a time when valuations in the U.S. equity market are stretched and looking highly concentrated. "This is not about the end of U.S. exceptionalism at all. It's about the normalization of the exceptionalism," the group's chief strategist for the Americas said, adding: "We've been talking about this for years, but there's finally been a catalyst to unleash it." Santos also expects artificial intelligence will continue to be a major theme in the market, but urged investors to look elsewhere from the "Magnificent Seven" to the next phase of AI beneficiaries. She noted earnings growth is steadily declining for Mag Seven, which is projected to post 14% earnings growth in the second quarter, down from more than 27% in the first. "We're very positive that the AI theme is real and has come back as a main driving force for the market," Santos said. "But just that, I think what's really encouraging actually about performance this year has been that there's really much more differentiation within that theme, and importantly that it's always on to the next phase, and this is the next phase of the AI theme, which doesn't just benefit that concentrated, concentrated group of large cap tech." She's confident that the theme can expand to utilities and industrials, as well as to AI adopters who are using the technology for productivity gains within their companies, in addition to semiconductors.
