Malaga 1 Valencia 0: Castillejo inspires first Liga win of 2015 for hosts

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…

Decision time for Ronaldo as Portugal exit Euro 2008

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…

The England superstars who have been linked with a blockbuster Premier League move in 2023

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 aim to repeat 2009 success

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…

Dolphins vs Jets Week 11 Picks and Predictions: Jets Sputter Out Again

The Mike White bandwagon has gone off the cliff as the New York Jets will start Joe Flacco in their home meeting versus the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Tua Tagovailoa will also get the start for the Dolphins after replacing an injured Jacoby Brissett in Week 10. Despite the appointment of Flacco, the Dolphins are still 3-point road favorites. 

Here are our free picks and predictions and NFL betting odds for Dolphins vs. Jets for Sunday, November 21.

49ers vs Broncos SNF Prop Bets: Niners Keep Wilson at Bay

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.

Bryce Young Odds and MNF Props: No. 1 Pick Won't Be Shy in Week 2

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.

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!
