  • ELIMINATION WINNERS
    Vienna defending champs Marketa Slukova (left) and Barbora Hermannova of the Czech Republic posted another win Thursday in the Austrian capital.

    Led by defending A1 Major Vienna champions Barbora Hermannova and Marketa Slukova of the Czech Republic, eight women's pairs won elimination matches here Thursday afternoon to advance to the Round of 16 at the US$600,000 FIVB World Tour event.

    Seeded 22nd in the tournament, Hermannova and Slukova posted a 2-0 (21-19, 21-16) win in 40 minutes over 15th-seeded Karla Borger and Julia Sude of Germany on the A1 Major Vienna centre court to tie the World Tour series between the two teams at 1-1.

    "It was a good match for us," said the 28-year old Hermannova. "The Germans were coming off their best finish this past weekend in Tokyo where they placed fourth. It's good we only played one match today, so we'll have extra time to prepare for the Americans Friday morning."

    With their win, Hermannova and Slukova will challenge top-seeded Alix Klineman and April Ross of the United States in one of eight Round of 16 matches Friday morning. The USA-Czech Republic winner will meet either 23rd-seeded Fan Wang/Xinyi Xia of China or 25th-seeded qualifiers Talita Antunes/Taiana Lima of Brazil in an afternoon quarterfinal match.

    Klineman and Ross, who placed second last week at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic dress rehearsal event, had a bye into the Round of 16 after winning their pool Wednesday. The Americans have won both their matches with Hermannova and Slukova, including an elimination victory three weeks ago in Gstaad Major in Switzerland.

    Other teams posting elimination wins Thursday were Wang/Xia, fourth-seeded Agatha Bednarczuk/Eduarda "Duda" Lisboa of Brazil, eighth-seeded Lena Plesiutschnig/Katharina Schutzenhofer of Austria, 14th-seeded qualifiers Kelley Larsen/Emily Stockman of the United States, 21st-seeded Joy Stubbe/Marleen Van Iersel of The Netherlands, 26th-seeded qualifiers Margareta Kozuch/Laura Ludwig of Germany, 28th-seeded Katarzyna Kociolek/Kinga Wojtasik of Poland.

  • BRAZIL, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC TAKE FIRST STEP ON ROAD TO TOKYO 2020

    Two-time Olympic champions Brazil have inched closer to a spot at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games with their opening win Thursday 3-0 (25-14, 25-13, 25-16) over Cameroon as the women's Olympic Qualification process got off to an early start. The Dominican Republic followed Brazil's lead in the tournament at Uberlandia, wrapping up the opening day with a 3-0 (25-15, 25-22, 25-18) sweep of Azerbaijan.

    The two winners of the opening day are headed for a showdown on the closing day, Saturday, which in all likelihood will be the decider for the ticket to Tokyo.

    In top form once again, Gabi Guimaraes led the scoring for Brazil, bagging 15 points, including three of her side's seven aces.

    Although Cameroon outblocked Brazil 7 to 5, the home side produced a far superior attacking efficiency to swing the balance in their favour, with Tandara Caixeta, opposite Gabi, adding another 12 points.

    The 'Queens of the Caribbean' were inspired by Bethania De La Cruz who scored a match-high of 13 points, though Brayelin Martinez and Prisilla Rivera were close behind her at 12 each, while libero Brenda Catillo returned with some brilliant backcourt performances.

    Twenty more teams begin their campaigns on Friday, as the other five pools get underway across the globe. Only one team from each of the six pools gets a direct ticket to Tokyo 2020. They will join Japan who are automatically qualified as hosts.

  • The incredible story of the most famous speech of Ferguson's career. He went into the locker room before the UCL final and told everyone: "We won. We don't have to play anymore"

    August 2, 2019
    Patrice Evra told The Players Tribune about a fabulous moment in Manchester United's locker room, ahead of the 2008 UCL final.

    Ferguson offered one of the most spectacular speeches of his career that evening, and now his words have become public.

    "I remember the speech Sir Alex Ferguson gave us before the Champions League final with Chelsea in Moscow in 2008"

    "I was in the locker room when he came to us. As usual, the music stopped, so you could hear if a year was falling. Then Ferguson told us: "I already won ..." "

    “We looked at each other. He went on to say: I already won. We don't even have to play this match. We were beginning to wonder what it meant. The match didn't even start ”

    "Then Ferguson looked at me. He said: Look at Patrice. He has 24 brothers and sisters at home. Imagine how much their mother had to do to feed them on the table. ”

    "Then he looked at Rooney. Look at Wayne. He grew up in one of the worst neighborhoods in Liverpool. He looked at Park Ji-sung. Look at Ji, he just came from South Korea. ”

    "He had started talking about our stories, and then I understood that he was talking about a friendship. We were not just a football team, we were people from all over the world, from all kinds of cultures, races and religions. ”

    "And now I was here. Together, in a locker room in Moscow, fighting for a common cause. Through football, we became brothers. This is my victory, Ferguson said.

    “I had hen skin. I went out on the field and won the Champions League. That was Manchester United and that's why I love football."
