Samu Castillejo got Malaga back to winning ways in La Liga as he scored the only goal to sink Valencia on Monday.
Malaga recorded their first La Liga win of 2015 with a 1-0 victory over 10-man Valencia at La Rosaleda.
Javier Gracia s Malaga headed into the match on a barren run having been knocked out of the Copa del Rey by Athletic Bilbao last week on the back of two league points from the past 12 on offer.
But Samu Castillejo headed the decisive goal in the 25th minute and Valencia only threatened sporadically thereafter Javi Guerra coming close to doubling Malaga s lead five minutes later
Visiting goalkeeper Diego Alves reacted sharply to deny Sergi Darder in the 70th minute and Valencia s task became harder still when defender Joao Cancelo collected h…
Both Real Madrid and Manchester United want his services for next season, but Portugal s Cristiano Ronaldo must now reveal his future plans after his Euro 2008 heart-break on Thursday.
The Premier League champions want Ronaldo to stay at Old Trafford until 2012, while Real confirmed Thursday they are waiting to hear whether the 23-year-old wants to stay in England or move to Spain.
Having insisted he will only decide after his Euro 2008 campaign is over, the boy from Madeira must announce where his future lies after a below-par performance as Germany inflicted a 3-2 Euro 2008 defeat on Portugal in Basel.
It is easy to see why European giants are fighting for Ronaldo s services.
Last season, he equalled, then obliterated, George Best s record goals ta…
Eventually cruising their way to a against African giants Senegal on Sunday night, England certainly punched their World Cup quarter-final ticket in some style.
Yet to taste a single defeat since arriving in Qatar last month, the Three Lions should find the mood in their camp at a real high as they prepare for a heavyweight showdown against defending champions France next weekend.
However, while might have opened his World Cup account on the fourth attempt against Senegal on Sunday, it has been Gareth Southgate s youngsters who have stolen plenty of the headlines.
With the January transfer window set to reopen in under a months time, it appears that a few English superstars have been linked with a blockbuster move in the New Year.
While the Three Lions…

Laos coach Hans-Peter Schaller believes his team can spring a surprise or two at the 26th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games which will take place in Indonesia.
Austrian national Schaller wants the team to repeat their achievements in the 2009 edition of the SEA Games where they finished fourth.
It s not an easy group. In the last SEA Games, we occupied the fourth position, but it will not be easy to do that again, Schaller told Kompas Bola.
We re not the favourites. However, we will strive to repeat the achievement of two years ago.
Several trials have been done to prepare the team, including some in Malaysia. Schaller admitted that his team had been prepared for two months to deal with this event.
We cannot wait to face the first match against My…

Jimmy Garappolo and the 49ers travel to altitude Sunday night to take on the Denver Broncos as slight -1.5 favorites and a total of 44. Melvin Gordon’s role is changing, the Denver offense is missing some key pass-catchers, and it’s Wilson’s backfield in Week 3.
Here are my free NFL player prop picks for Sunday Night Football between the 49ers and Broncos.

The first game on the Monday Night Football odds slate will take place in Charlotte as the Carolina Panthers look to avenge a Week 1 loss to the Falcons by taking on the 1-0 New Orleans Saints in Week 2.
This one should be rather intriguing given it’ll mark just the second game that No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young has played in his young career, but the pressure will certainly be on given his lackluster numbers in Week 1 and the team’s performance as a whole.
Don’t forget to look at our full Saints vs. Panthers predictions, as well as our MNF prop picks column, before digging into my best NFL picks.

America’s Team returns to primetime tonight when the Dallas Cowboys host the Seattle Seahawks at AT&T Stadium. Dak Prescott & Co. are riding high following a 45-10 Thanksgiving Day victory over the Washington Commanders that was never in doubt. The Seahawks, meanwhile, are still licking their wounds after a disheartening 31-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

With Super Bowl LVIII in the rearview mirror and the Kansas City Chiefs now talking about a historic three-peat, that can mean only one thing.
It’s NFL Mock Draft season!
While mock drafts have been a part of the NFL Draft for what feels like forever, they are just recently being used as a part of draft betting. And with NFL Draft odds becoming bigger and bigger each year, mock drafts become a great tool to help you make your wagers.
This year the Caleb Williams odds have the USC QB as the favorite to be the first overall selection. But the question is who will be making the pick?
I sort through the smokescreens in version 1.0 of my 2024 NFL mock draft and tease some early leans and free betting picks.
