AUCKLAND — Five days after Spain's shock loss to Japan, a bold squad reshuffle by coach Jorge Vilda paid off for the Spanish team on Saturday as they thrashed Switzerland 5-1 in their last-16 Women's World Cup clash.
The victory launched La Roja into the quarterfinals for the first time in their history.
"(The 4-0 loss to Japan) really hurt and the healing of that pain will continue," Vilda told a press conference.
We're roughly halfway through the 2023 summer transfer window with Europe's top five leagues all having to conclude their business by 11 p.m. GMT on Friday, September 1. Declan Rice has already become the most expensive English player ever after his $130 million switch from West Ham to Arsenal, and Jude Bellingham's $115 million transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid is the window's other piece of gargantuan business.

Muchos le vieron un potencial ilimitado en el arco, pero de un tiempo a esta parte, su vida pareciera ser un eterno blooper. Sí, de vez en cuando mete una mano espectacular que le salva los papeles al Cruz Azul, sin embago, su nombre pasa más regularmente pegado a la palabra "osote".
Prueba de ello es lo que pasó la noche de este sábado ante Toluca y que dejó una imagen inolvidable del técnico Ricardo Ferretti.
When you have to pee, you have to pee. That's probably what Argentino de Merlo midfielder Leonel Ovejero was thinking when struck by the natural urge, so he decided to drop his pants and proceeded to urinate on the field where the game between his team and Sacachispas was being played.
Little did he know the act would cost him a straight red card.
Atlas venció a Cruz Azul por 2-0 en la J1 del Apertura 2023, en un duelo que muchos recordarán como la despedida de Julián Quiñones del club rojinegro. Sin embargo, el partido también dejó otro evento que será difícil de olvidar: un osote de Julio Furch que pinta para mamarracho del año.
Sobre la media hora de juego, Atlas tejió una jugada por la derecha que hizo a toda la afición en el Jalisco levantarse de sus asientos. Hacia el final, Eduardo Aguirre metió un centro raso que parecía destinado a los abrazos.

Jürgen Klinsmann has defended his underwhelming start to life as South Korea coach with the German yet to win any of his four games in charge since taking over from Paulo Bento.
Klinsmann was appointed in February and his team have drawn twice and lost twice as the Koreans look to build on their run to the knockout rounds of last year's World Cup under his Portuguese predecessor.
An opening draw with Colombia was followed by losses against Uruguay and Peru while Klinsmann's side were held to a 1-1 draw by El Salvador on Tuesday in their most recent international.
MEXICO CITY - Mexico coach Diego Cocca and director of national teams Rodrigo Ares De Parga have left their roles, the country's soccer federation (FMF) said on Monday with less than a week to go before the start of the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

FMF announced that Jaime Lozano, who led Mexico to a bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, will take over as interim manager.
México hizo el ridículo completo ante Estados Unidos.
