There was no shortage of big news stories last week so we review some of the most important to hit the headlines over the last seven days

A Tunisian beach resort was turned into a bloodbath last week as a 23 year old ISIS sympathizer, Seifeddine Rezgui, opened fire with a machine gun on unarmed tourists. Holiday makers ran for their lives as Rezgui gunned down 39 and injured a further 36. Tunisia has already seen a similar soft-target attack on its soil this year with 22 mostly foreign tourists killed in a central Tunis museum in March. Rezgui was killed at the scene by police.

In the US the Supreme Court had a busy week ruling on the contentious issues of the Affordable Healthcare Act and Same-Sex marriage within days of each other. In a victory for the Obama White House the act popularly named “Obamacare” passed 6-3 but even that paled when compared with the huge celebration of the courts upholding of the constitutional right of the LGBT community to marriage by 5 to 4 at the annual pride marches that coincided with the ruling.

Alexis Tsipras, the Greek Prime Minister, responded to the deepening financial crisis in his country by calling for a referendum on the demands made upon the nation by its Eurozone creditors. This irked the creditors which resulted in a cutting off of the bailout funds the EU has provided over the last five years. This meant that banks would remain closed and ATM withdrawals would be limited to 60 Euros until the July 5th vote, the first of its kind since 1974 when the nation voted to remove the monarchy.

In sport Nelson Piquet Jr won the inaugural season of Formula E the single seat racing competition that pits cars powered only by electricity against each other. Despite a terrible qualification for the final race in London’s Battersea Park Piquet did just enough to take the championship. Will this herald a future of greener motorsport, you’ll have to read our daily news pages to find out, but in the meantime lets look back at some of the stories we covered last week.

Meanwhile in the US two major broadcasters had moments of major stupidity as Fox News and CNN both broadcast pieces of silliness. Fox decided to air one of its anchors, a Martha MacCallum, asking if the Supreme Court’s ruling on gay marriage paved the way for trios of people to wed, which was nearly as ridiculous as CNN broadcasting pictures of what it said was an ISIS flag at the London Gay Pride march only to find out it actually depicted a selection of butt-plugs and dildos.

As it was expected before the tournament, Chile finally qualified to the final of the 44th edition of the Copa America, however the refereeing favoured them once again, just like in the quarter-final against Uruguay. Against La Celeste, Edinson Cavani was sent off after hitting Gonzalo Jara, who was trying to finger his backside. Jara was handed a three-game ban reduced to two eventually after the game, but he was able to remain on the field in the match that also saw Uruguay’s Jorge Fucile being red carded.

Against Peru, Chile’s Arturo Vidal was lucky to avoid a red card, while Carlos Zambrano from the visitors had an early bath after a foul in the 20th minute. Napoli striker Eduardo Vargas decided the game with his two goals, the first coming from offside. Chile will now take on the winner from the Argentina v Paraguay semi in the final showdown where the hosts will attempt to deliver their first ever Copa title.

Peru striker Paolo Guerrero was understandably disappointed as the Incas had a good start though considered as underdogs by virtually every gambling blogs before the game. He said, “I think Zambrano’s expulsion was a bit tough. I don’t want to complain about the refereeing but there were a lot of unexpected decisions. If it had been 11 against 11 it would have been a different story.”

Chile took the lead with a goal from Eduardo Vargas that came from offside and though Peru was able to equalize through Gary Medel’s own goal, Vargas scored his second with a 30-yard dip to send the hosts into the final where they will meet the winner of the Argentina v Paraguay semi.

As the Premier League clubs are about to strengthen their squads, the biggest names in European football are involved in the discussions about possible transfer moves. It looks like Manchester United will finally acquire Southampton’s Morgan Schneiderlin, but it is also possible that they will get competition if they really want to bring Sergio Ramos to Manchester, as City is reportedly interested too. The Blues are in talks about signing Juve’s Paul Pogba as well, but his enormous transfer fee could prevent the Frenchman’s move to Etihad Stadium.

Soccerlens.com: Schneiderlin could join Manchester United on Wednesday

Online gambling news reported that Manchester United could present French midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin as their new player as early as Wednesday. Schneiderlin’s possible departure from Southampton was broadly discussed in the media since January, so the deal that is taking shape shouldn’t upset any of those who follow sports scores news.

Schneiderlin is considered as one of the finest holding midfielders in the Premier League and he is expected to take over Michael Carrick’s place in front of the United backline. This will be the Frenchman’s first opportunity to participate in the Champions League, as the Red Devils qualified for the competition again after a year of absence.

The French media reports that Man United will pay for Schneiderlin a fee around EUR 30 million (GBP 20 million) and according to English reports, the deal could be finalized this week. Schneiderlin was also linked with a move to the Emirates however Arsenal seems to be outbid by United.

ESPNFC.com: Manchester City to challenge United for Sergio Ramos’ signature?

The two giant clubs from Manchester have to battle against each other for Real Madrid’s Spanish World Champion and Champions League winnig defender, Sergio Ramos, gambling news report. Manchester United is looking for his signature for a while, and a possible deal also involving David de Gea was also emerged from the press.

However, according to the English media, Manchester City now entered the race for Ramos as the Blues’ board is watching the situation closely. If the contest will become more serious, this could be one of the most interesting transfer sagas of the summer.

Meanwhile former United star goalkeeper, Peter Schmeichel suggests De Gea to stay at Old Trafford as he is on his way to become a legend for the Manchester club. The Spanish goalie expressed before that he wanted to move to Real Madrid, however the Danish icon sees a bright future ahead of De Gea at Old Trafford.

The Telegraph: Manchester City open talks with Paul Pogba

In the meantime Manchester City is just about to bring the young French star, Paul Pogba to Etihad Stadium from Juventus. The Turin-based club asks EUR 100 million (GBP 70 million) for one of its top asset and Pogba’s salary demand is reportedly EUR 12 million (GBP 8.5 million) for a year after tax, which means something around a GBP 160,000 salary per week.

All this won’t include the EUR 10 million fee of his agent, Mino Raiola, who is reportedly in talks with Txiki Begiristain, Manchester City’s director of football, according to latest gambling news. Pogba is also heavily linked with Barcelona and Real Madrid, and some experts speculate that City will miss out on Pogba eventually because of the high fee.

Though Barcelona is banned from transfers for this summer, they will be able to bring in new players in January. The Frenchman’s previous club, Manchester United was also keen to bring Pogba back, but the midfielder expressed that he is not interested in a move back to Old Trafford where he hardly got any chances to prove himself in the 2011-2012 season he spent there.

Andy Murray is in great form ahead of the 2015 Wimbledon championship, and he is tipped by many to reclaim the title this year after he succeeded two years ago. In 2013 he became the first British player to win the men’s single competition in 77 years, and fellow Briton Tim Henman thinks that 2015 could be the Scot’s year again. Murray, who was seeded third and could meet with top seed Novak Djokovic or second seed Roger Federer in the semifinal, lives in a stable relationship, which, unlike in the previous decades, now is almost a must for tennis players who want to compete for the biggest trophies.

SkySports.com: Andy Murray can win Wimbledon, says Tim Henman

Tim Henman expressed that Andy Murray, who enjoys the form of his life, has a considerable chance to win his second Wimbledon title two years after his first success in London. Henman, who was ranked number four in the ATP list in the past, fancies his fellow Brit to win the tournament after Murray went all the way to the semi-finals of the French Open and won his fourth Queen’s Club title.

Henman said, “This first six months of the year is as good as I’ve ever seen Murray play. He’s in the form of his life and is definitely in the best shape to fight for the Wimbledon title again. He’s won everything before on grass, so he will really fancy his chances.”

Followers of sports scores might remember that in 2013 Murray became the first British man who won in Wimbledon in 77 years. He already enjoyed a great clay season with titles in Munich and Madrid, and according to Henman, he could be able to capitalize on the momentum he gained.

BBC.com: Wimbledon 2015: Andy Murray seeded third; Rafael Nadal 10th

2013 British Wimbledon champion Andy Murray has been seeded third before this year’s tournament, with two-time Spanish Wimbledon winner Rafael Nadal dropped back to 10th. The low position of Nadal means that he could play against a top player as early as the round of 16.

The first seed obviously went to world number one Novak Djokovic, who is the defending champion and who also won the Roland Garros last month. Roger Federer, who won seven times in Wimbledon, has been seeded second. According to the draw, either of them could meet Andy Murray in the semifinal, online gambling news report.

Keen followers of live sports results might know that grass court performances had extra weight when the men’s seeding was done. This meant that Milos Raonic, who went all the way to the semifinals last year, was seeded ahead of David Ferrer, otherwise the seeding regarding the top eight reflects the current world ranking.

The Telegraph: Wimbledon 2015: Andy Murray’s domestic bliss provides bedrock for success on court

With the age of tennis playboys has long been passed, a stable relationship is considered as a significant contributor to the achievements of tennis players. Andy Murray is one of them, who acted like a real macho sportsman when he was younger, but became more modest during the years of his relationship with Kim Sears.

He expressed that “Marriage works,” after his title win in Madrid recently and he is expected to carry on playing in Wimbledon with his wedding ring tied to his shoe. On the contrary, as senior gambling blog readers might know, former Romanian Grand Slam winner Ilie Nastase claimed that during the time he ruled the court, he chased women like Casanova.

A 2007 study, that examined players in the top 100 of the ATP ranking between 1995 and 2005, found that married players performed far worse in the first year after their wedding than in the year before. The reason behind this is that the men’s competitiveness weakened as husbands. However, this all changed in the past decade, most notably with Roger Federer, who beat Pete Sampras’ Grand Slam record as a fresh husband.

As we are edging closer to the point when the deal involving Raheem Sterling and a big stack of cash would be announced, Liverpool braced themselves with the acquisition of Roberto Firmino, who might be arguably a better player than the English youngster. The Brazilian, who leaves Hoffenheim for Liverpool, is obviously compared to Sterling after the Merseyside club stated that they will spend GBP 25 million (29 with potential bonuses) on him. However, if the Reds are serious about getting back to the Champions League, they should rather be looking for the new Luis Suarez, not the new Sterling. In Firmino though, they might have found something similar to the world class Uruguayan – maybe not that many goals, but less controversy for sure.

The Telegraph: Who is new Liverpool signing Roberto Firmino?

With Roberto Firmino, the new Brazilian acquisition from Hoffenheim, Liverpool could be back in contention for Champions League qualification next season. Firmino is usually plays as a number ten and in this role he has become one of the most dangerous players in the Bundesliga in recent seasons.

He is not a well-known player amongst English followers of sports scores, but he has the potential to become one of the stars of the Premier League. Firmino is currently at Copa America, where he already registered a goal in the group phase. If Raheem Sterling will complete his transfer to Manchester City, Liverpool will be left with another great player instead plus GBP 20 million cash – not a bad business at all. .

Though Firmino was playing in a not very impressive mid-table team last season, he racked up seven goals equaling Sterling’s record, and created 10 goals for his teammates, which is three more than the tally of Liverpool’s number 31. In the past two Bundesliga seasons only Borussia Monchengladbach’s Kevin Bruyne (26) was able to register more assists than the Brazilian (21), according to online gambling news.

The Guardian: Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino: a thiever of balls who never stops running

Hoffenheim sporting director Ernst Tanner scouted Roberto Firmino in 2010 December, when the 19-year-old was playing in the Brazilian second-tier. He revealed that he was far from being overwhelmed by the Brazilian, though it was clear that he had a potential to further improve his skills. .

Tanner said, “It was strange because during some exercises he would just, without any apparent reason, just fold … but instead of making a big deal out of it and getting angry, he listened carefully to his coach and learned from what he had done wrong. That impressed me.” 

As several European clubs were interested in Firmino, the members of the Hoffenheim board felt a bit like casino winners when they managed to sign him in the following month for EUR 4 million. In the tiny Baden-Württemberg city he found the perfect place to settle in, and he was able to continue his development without any pressure.

After Liverpool reached an agreement with Hoffenheim about the transfer of Roberto Firmino, the 23-year-old would become the second most expensive signing in Liverpool history with GBP 29 million. Firmino shares his birthplace Maceio with Mario Zagallo, who, as keen followers of live sports results might know, won the world cup twice as a player and once as a coach with Brazil. .

He launched his professional career at Figueirense in 2009 when he was 17, and scored his first goal next year. He produced eight goals in his first full season and helped his team to get back to Serie A after spending two years in the second-tier. After that year he signed for Bundesliga side Hoffenheim, and was named as Bundesliga breakthrough player of the season in 2014. .

Firmino set up 21 goals in the last few season, the highest tally amongst Brazilians playing in the top five European leagues. In November he was called up to the Brazilian national team and he made his debut against Turkey. He was lucky regarding injuries so far as he was able to play in 33 out of 34 Bundesliga matches for Hoffenheim in the past three seasons.

The Brazilian, who leaves Hoffenheim for Liverpool, is obviously compared to Sterling after the Merseyside club stated that they will spend GBP 25 million (29 with potential bonuses) on him. However, if the Reds are serious about getting back to the Champions League, they should rather be looking for the new Luis Suarez, not the new Sterling. In Firmino though, they might have found something similar to the world class Uruguayan – maybe not that many goals, but less controversy for sure.

The Telegraph: Who is new Liverpool signing Roberto Firmino?

With Roberto Firmino, the new Brazilian acquisition from Hoffenheim, Liverpool could be back in contention for Champions League qualification next season. Firmino is usually plays as a number ten and in this role he has become one of the most dangerous players in the Bundesliga in recent seasons.

He is not a well-known player amongst English followers of sports scores, but he has the potential to become one of the stars of the Premier League. Firmino is currently at Copa America, where he already registered a goal in the group phase. If Raheem Sterling will complete his transfer to Manchester City, Liverpool will be left with another great player instead plus GBP 20 million cash – not a bad business at all. .

Though Firmino was playing in a not very impressive mid-table team last season, he racked up seven goals equaling Sterling’s record, and created 10 goals for his teammates, which is three more than the tally of Liverpool’s number 31. In the past two Bundesliga seasons only Borussia Monchengladbach’s Kevin Bruyne (26) was able to register more assists than the Brazilian (21), according to online gambling news.

Hoffenheim sporting director Ernst Tanner scouted Roberto Firmino in 2010 December, when the 19-year-old was playing in the Brazilian second-tier. He revealed that he was far from being overwhelmed by the Brazilian, though it was clear that he had a potential to further improve his skills. .

Tanner said, “It was strange because during some exercises he would just, without any apparent reason, just fold … but instead of making a big deal out of it and getting angry, he listened carefully to his coach and learned from what he had done wrong. That impressed me.” 

As several European clubs were interested in Firmino, the members of the Hoffenheim board felt a bit like casino winners when they managed to sign him in the following month for EUR 4 million. In the tiny Baden-Württemberg city he found the perfect place to settle in, and he was able to continue his development without any pressure.

After Liverpool reached an agreement with Hoffenheim about the transfer of Roberto Firmino, the 23-year-old would become the second most expensive signing in Liverpool history with GBP 29 million. Firmino shares his birthplace Maceio with Mario Zagallo, who, as keen followers of live sports results might know, won the world cup twice as a player and once as a coach with Brazil. .

He launched his professional career at Figueirense in 2009 when he was 17, and scored his first goal next year. He produced eight goals in his first full season and helped his team to get back to Serie A after spending two years in the second-tier. After that year he signed for Bundesliga side Hoffenheim, and was named as Bundesliga breakthrough player of the season in 2014. .

Firmino set up 21 goals in the last few season, the highest tally amongst Brazilians playing in the top five European leagues. In November he was called up to the Brazilian national team and he made his debut against Turkey. He was lucky regarding injuries so far as he was able to play in 33 out of 34 Bundesliga matches for Hoffenheim in the past three seasons.

Chile will take on Uruguay in the first quarter-final of the 44th edition of the Copa America. This match could be one of the most intriguing clashes in the tournament as the two teams have characteristically different styles and mentalities. Chile will play on the floor, attacking and pressing all the time while Uruguay is going to sit back and try to win set pieces in the opposition’s half. The hosts, who seriously lack height, have troubles with high balls and La Celeste could be able to exploit this despite the fact that Chile will play in front of their own crowd.

IBTimes.com: Chile vs. Uruguay 2015: Prediction, Preview For Copa America Quarterfinal

In the first quarter-final of the 2015 Copa America the hosts will entertain the title-holders. Uruguay is the most successful team in the history of the competition with 15 titles, while Chile have yet to win their first Copa despite taking part in all the 44 edition of the tournament.

Chile have never had a chance like this to win the Copa or any other international trophy, which puts a considerable amount of pressure on the team. The group of players is the best in quality the nation ever had, however their display was far from immaculate in the group stages, as followers of live sports results might have noticed.

Arturo Vidal and co. were the best against Bolivia, in a match when the pressure was off, with advancing already secured. However their defensive problems and their lack of height contributed significantly to a 3–3 scoreline against Mexico, and all this could be exploited by Uruguay too, but the hosts are still the favourites to advance.

Uruguay coach Jorge Sampaoli thinks that title-holders Uruguay will cause a lot of problems in their respective Copa America quarter-final at the Estadio Nacional. After winning group A convincingly, La Roja is on track to win its first title in the 99-year long history of the competition, to please all the Chileans who follow sports scores.

However, Sampaoli outlined that Uruguay’s style will make their quarter-final a troublesome tie, online gambling news report. He said, “I believe the game for us is a final and it will be very complicated due to the opponents’ characteristics, We will play against a team which knows how to play this kind of game. These are distinct matches with a mental factor.”

He also spoke about the aerial threat Uruguay poses. He expressed, “They have played against teams with more height than us and have always scored goals because they have good headers of the ball.” He went on to emphasize the importance of Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez. He said, “Alexis has to play an integral role for the function of the Chilean attack and has to impose himself with his skill and the form he is in.”

Chile racked up 10 goals in the group stage of the Copa, with no other team reaching five, and this should indicate that they are on a level where it is no problem for them to convert their chances. However, Chilean football expert Leonardo Veliz expressed that they weren’t as impressive in the first phase as their tally would suggest, according to gambling news.

“The Chile that qualified did not convince me,” he expressed. “Its apparent brilliance came only against an already qualified Bolivia. Those five goals against Bolivia hide a reality. There are great individual strengths… but also gaping collective weaknesses which could be exposed against opponents with more quality.”

They will have 90 minutes to seal the game before a possible penalty shoot-out against a Uruguay team that is capable of knocking out the hosts. Even without their biggest star, the banned Luis Suarez, because their strengths are the organized defending and nodding in high balls in the opposition’s box.

Victor Hugo Morales, a Uruguayan writer, who is a close friend of Diego Maradona, revealed that the Argentinian footballing genius told him that he will run for the FIFA presidency in the next election. Sepp Blatter, who has been leading international football’s governing body since 1998, announced his resignation earlier this month after the FIFA corruption scandal escalated. The FBI and the Swiss authorities are also investigating the organization and several former leaders were arrested in connection of the bribe cases. Maradona, a regular critic of Blatter and his regime, stated recently that he was pretty much enjoying the ongoing FIFA scandal.

The Guardian: Diego Maradona to stand as candidate for Fifa presidency, say reports

After the FIFA scandal escalated to an extent where even Sepp Blatter had to resign, Diego Maradona, who is known for criticizing international football’s governing body for long, decided to run for the presidency in the next election, online gambling news report.

Maradona told Uruguayan journalist Victor Hugo Morales, who is famous for his commentary of Maradona’s goal against England from 1986, that he was a candidate for the presidency. Maradona also authorized Morales to let the press know about his intentions. Followers of sports scores might recall that Nicolas Maduro, the president of Venezuela recommended the nomination of the 54-year-old former Argentina captain earlier in June.

This is not the first time that a previous world class player from South America applied for the presidency of the FIFA, as the late Zico from Brazil also pursued an interest to lead international football. However he failed to gain support from five national federations, which is a must if someone wants to run for the presidency.

Diego Maradona reportedly plans to replace Sepp Blatter as the president of the FIFA. Victor Hugo Morales, a journalist from Uruguay, stated that the previous world class player told him about his intentions on Sunday. Morales initially called the former Argentina captain to check on his sick father’s condition, online mobile news report.

“He told me he was going to run for president of Fifa and authorised me to inform,” Morales posted on his social media account. He also added, “I am a candidate’ were the two words Diego Maradona used to answer me when I consulted him about the nomination for the presidency of Fifa.”

Maradona and Morales hosted a TV show together presenting the 2014 World Cup for a Venezuelan channel last year. Maradona had been criticizing Sepp Blatter long before the FIFA corruption scandal erupted, and he expressed that he was enjoying the torture of the leaders of international football’s governing body.

It would be a surprise however if several members of the FIFA opted to back such a controversial person to represent international football just after a scandalous period ended. Maradona probably couldn’t even manage to get the support of his native country as his relationship with the Argentinian federation wasn’t very good recently.

However, Cuba and Venezuela seems to be countries where he is welcomed by leading politicians, though it doesn’t necessarily mean that he will automatically get the nod from their respective national associations.

The draw of the Europa League qualifying was held on Monday in Nyon, Switzerland. West Ham United were paired with FC Lusitans from Andorra in the first round, and the Hammers will kick off their campaign at the beginning of July, five weeks before the start of the Premier League.

Those with an adept knowledge of gambling facts might recall that West Ham participated in the competition last time in the 2006-07 season. Now they will play in Andorra at Camp d’Esports d’Aixoval, a 1,000 capacity stadium. Andorra’s other team in Europe, Sant Julia will entertain Randers from Denmark in the first round.

England was ranked first by the UEFA fair play system and that provided them an extra place in the competition that went to West Ham, the team that came first in the English first-tier’s fair play ranking. 102 teams participated in the draw and the former European Cup winner Red Star from Belgrade will also enter in the first round travelling to Central Asia to visit Kairat Almaty in Kazakhstan.

Celtic is to face Icelandic Stjarnan.

“We have mixed feelings,” said Stjarnan defender Daniel Laxdal. “It is great to meet Celtic but I think they are the most difficult team we could have met. We saw them against KR last year and know it will be hard work in defence. Last season we showed anything is possible if we are at our best so hopefully we can do something similar. Celtic will start their season against us and that might help a little but we are up against a great team.”

Celtic FC assistant manager John Kennedy commented the draw via his social media account. He expressed that all pressure is on Celtic, and this situation might suit the Icelandic underdogs. He added, “We have to make sure we go in fully prepared and we win the game. That’s the most important thing.”

Lebron James was the first player in NBA history to enter five consecutive championship finals with two different teams. The Cleveland Cavaliers have never won a game in an NBA Final.

Game four was a continuation of the surge of momentum that was seen by Golden State at the end of the fourth quarter in Game three. The adjustment made by Warriors coach Steve Kerr to go with a smaller playing force in order to maximize ball movement seemed to pay off brilliantly in Game and set the tone for Game five. Cleveland kept Timofey Mozgov from most of the game in order to do “go small.”

The new problem was that Golden State were getting far more boards than Cleveland which was the weapon that carried the Cavaliers to the finals. With Harrison Barnes and Draymond Green dominating boards over Cleveland, Mozgov was missed. Unfortunately Lebron had to over-exceed his boundaries again. His 40 points made up almost half the total Cavalier points and his 14 rebounds almost a third.

Lebron made almost twice as many assists as the entire Cavalier team. Cavalier guards JR Smith and Iman Shumpert were incapable of producing for 48 minutes simply because they’ve never had to. Matthew Dellavedova wasn’t a premier player, but his notable contributions were regarded by Cleveland as heroic and regarded as “folklore in the making.”

Golden State’s Curry cannot be used as evidence of poor Cavalier defense because he’s a superior shot maker whose ability to set up plays to a “less weary” Warriors team was the advantage they had over a Cavalier team who continued to suffer from a seven-man rotation. No punter nor layman was surprised by the 104-91 win. Only the bravest punters using sports scores news should wage on a Cavaliers victory in Game 6.

Coach Kerr’s adjustment to the Warriors line-up was the replacement of Andrew Bogut for Andre Iguodala. The choice resulted in Iquodala’s 25-point game and the Finals MVP award. Draymond Green, who had a triple-double, was moved to the center for the Warriors to cover Mozgov, who was put back into the normal line up for Cleveland. The move by Coach Kerr proved gutsy, but seemed to favor Golden State.

With Harrison Barnes covering Tristan Thompson, the Cavaliers best rebounder, it seemed that both teams were going “big” once again. Luckily Iguodala helped the Warriors overtake the Cavaliers in rebounding while putting more pressure on them individually to perform. This plan by Golden State almost appears to be a same plan performed against them by Cleveland in Games two and three.

Although Cleveland tried many things to put pressure back on the Warriors and tie up their offense, but ended up unsuccessful. Smith performed too far outside his comfort zone to be a larger factor and Dellavedova proved too weak a player to slow down Curry who had 25 points. Although Lebron had 32 points, 18 rebounds and nine assists, his shooting couldn’t make more of a difference.

The halftime score of 45-43 may have given some punters gambling from recent sports scores had a moment of regret for not waging on Cleveland.

Radamel Falcao has an awful campaign behind him at Manchester United. That gig was the first for the Colombian after his serious injury that caused him to sit out the World Cup last summer. Many argue that he is no longer a world class striker, but some say that at least he deserves a chance at a team where he leads the attack and the others are there to supply him with chances. He failed to come up with a good performance in the first game of the Cafeteros at the Copa America, though it seems that this doesn’t bothers Mourinho. However, the fact that Chelsea preferred a loan deal to a permanent one is telling.

ESPNFC.com: Man City close on Raheem Sterling; Radamel Falcao agrees Chelsea move

As Raheem Sterling is very likely to leave Liverpool this summer with his agent stating that the 20-year-old will not consider any contract offers from his current employer, another Premier League forward is about to start the new season at a rival team, according to online mobile news.

After a poor season at Old Trafford, Radamel Falcao is going to move to Stamford Bridge. AS Monaco loaned him to Manchester United for the last season with an option to buy him permanently, however after the Colombian striker totaled only four league goals in 26 outings for the Red Devils, Louis van Gaal opted not to retain his services.
A former Van Gaal protégé, Jose Mourinho however is ready to give him a chance at Chelsea, especially after Diego Costa is reportedly on the way out. Though Monaco wanted to sell the striker for good, Mourinho would prefer another loan deal.

The Telegraph: Radamel Falcao: five reasons why he can be the best striker in the Premier League at Chelsea

Some might argue that to bring Radamel Falcao to Stamford Bridge is no better than playing online lottery gambling by Jose Mourinho. The Colombian spent a terrible 10-month-long loan spell at Old Trafford. Before that, he was rated as a world class striker and now he would not make for a decent one according to many of those who follow sports scores.

However, it is expected that he will come back way stronger at Chelsea, as Louis van Gaal’s United was never really set up in order to supply Falcao. The Colombian was basically a squad player at United, however he can function at his standards when he can act as the number one forward of the team.

Not to mention the second part of the season, when Van Gaal opted for a far more pragmatic approach and deployed Marouane Fellaini to help the attackers with his strength and height. Falcao was virtually redundant then, but Jose Mourinho is certainly the manager, who is able to bring out the best of his players. And at Chelsea, Falcao would play in front of Cesc Fabregas, which means that world class service is guaranteed.

With his future being in the balance, Radamel Falcao started the Copa America with a very modest performance. Colombia obviously had the quality to approach their opening game at the tournament as favorites, but Venezuela, stunning many followers of live sports results, managed to beat the Cafeteros through work and discipline.

Venezuela caused an upset in their last Copa opener as well, denying Brazil from scoring. That side reached the semis, and with most of the players still being in the squad, they have the potential to surprise fans around the world again. In the meantime, Colombia coach Jose Pekerman has a huge problem, as it seems that Falcao, his former superstar is ceased to be a world class striker.

Jose Mourinho stated that he will find the world class in Falcao next season, however, Pekerman should either find it sooner or get rid of him and use Jackson Martinez instead, who was Colombia’s only promising footballer against Venezuela in the first match, despite playing only a few minutes.

Although Cleveland was in the lead, they started to look tentative around the fifth minute as more players stood around as Warriors were making plays. A shot by Clay Thompson gave the Warriors their first lead in more than one game. Coach Kerr got his wish for a more mobile, Warriors as Golden State kept their pace alive in the second quarter.

Iguodala threw the ball away as Cleveland got down to the other end and couldn’t complete the play. A behind the back pass by Smith to Movgov who finished with a layup, showed some signs of a pulse for Cleveland.

New Jersey lawmakers are in a hurry to add a referendum to the November ballot that would permit operating more casinos in the state outside Atlantic City. On paper they have time until August 3, however, as a summer holiday is coming in legislation and the process is problematic, they have to achieve that in the following days. In the meantime the state Assembly approved a package of bills to help the declining Atlantic City and its casinos, while billionaire Carl Icahn was permitted to acquire Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort. However he might shut down the facility eventually if he loses his battle against the casino workers’ union.

The New Jersey state Assembly approved five laws to help the declining Atlantic City. Their eight casinos now can make payments instead of taxes for 15 years in order to let them know how much they owe precisely. An education aid had been also granted for the city, as well as improved insurance and retirement benefits for casino workers.

A couple of other bills will help Atlantic City to pay its debt and to develop further, gambling law news reported. “This bill and the entire package was introduced to stop the immediate bleeding in Atlantic City and the surrounding region,” explained Atlantic County Democrat member of the Assembly, Vincent Mazzeo.

He added, “Casino closings coupled with large refunds due to casinos by the city have created dire challenges for the city.” Four casinos in Atlantic City were closed last year and New Jersey locals might vote in November about approving casinos to be built outside America’s Favorite Playground.

Daily Record: NJ casino regulators approve Icahn to own Trump Taj Mahal

While lawmakers are working on how to save New Jersey’s gaming industry, billionaire businessman Carl Icahn was granted to purchase the Atlantic City Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort from bankruptcy court by the Casino Control Commission. Icahn also holds another gaming facility in the city already, the Tropicana Casino and Resort.

Taj Mahal’s debts toward him are exceeding USD 290 million and he only has to trade that in exchange for getting control of the company. He also plans to invest USD 100 million according to online mobile news, though he might decide to close the casino down if he loses the battle against the number one casino workers’ union in Atlantic City.

Icahn clashed with the union after he abolished health insurance and pension plans made in last October by the casino’s parent company with the permission of a bankruptcy judge. However if the final decision goes against him, forcing him to restore the benefits, he might just shut Taj Mahal down for good.

New Jersey lawmakers are in a hurry to add a referendum to the November ballot that would permit operating more casinos in the state outside Atlantic City. On paper they have time until August 3, however, as a summer holiday is coming in legislation and the process is problematic, they have to achieve that in the following days. In the meantime the state Assembly approved a package of bills to help the declining Atlantic City and its casinos, while billionaire Carl Icahn was permitted to acquire Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort. However he might shut down the facility eventually if he loses his battle against the casino workers’ union.

The Three Lions travelled to Ljubljana to take on Slovenia in their EURO 2016 qualifier. Though Jack Wilshere impressed during the whole match, he had to raise his game after the hosts have capitalized on a defensive disorder from the visitors, to take the lead through Milivoje Novakovic in the first half. As team captain Wayne Rooney was missing sitters, Wilshere smashed the ball in twice from long range to secure the lead for England after the break. Since the hosts have equalized in the 84th minute however, Rooney had to add a goal himself to retain the 100% record for Roy Hodgson’s team.

ESPNFC.com: Jack Wilshere and Wayne Rooney rescue England in Slovenia

It seemed that Jack Wilshere will become the new hero of the English, until Slovenia equalized. That suggested two things, first, the English national team still has defensive problems, second, Wayne Rooney, who looked impotent for the most part of the game, had to join Wilshere to save the day.

Though he was far from his best, Rooney duly did so eventually to match Gary Lineker’s tally of 48 goals in the shirt of the Three Lions, which is only one less than record holder Bobby Charlton’s total of 49. He could have easily reach 50 against Slovenia, but he somehow managed to miss his biggest chances before he found the net two minutes after Slovenia levelled through Nejc Pecnik.

Before that, Wilshere was the man, who smashed the ball into the top right corner of Samir Handanovic’s goal twice from long range. Many followers of live sports results would agree that Internazionale goalkeeper had no chance to save either shots.

BBC.com: Jack Wilshere goal in England’s top 10, says Gary Lineker

The Three Lions’ former captain, Gary Lineker stated that against Slovenia Jack Wilshere scored one of the finest goals in England’s history. The Arsenal midfielder provided two goals in a comeback victory in Ljubljana, the second being a scorcher from 25 yards.

“Jack Wilshere scored two breathtaking goals” said Lineker. “I’m sure he hit the same square of the net on both occasions.” He added, “Let’s put it this way – if we had a top 10 he’d be in it.” These were the first goals from the 23-year-old player wearing the England shirt, according to sports scores news.

Through Wilshere’s double and an additional goal from Wayne Rooney the England national team retained its 100% record in the qualifying series for the EURO 2016. Wilshere usually plays in front of the defence, however after impressing in the second half with his attacking capabilities, Lineker believes that his perfect position would be a more advanced one had England provided natural holding midfielders.

England team captain Wayne Rooney expressed that Jack Wilshere, who scored two brilliant goals in England’s 3-2 victory against Slovenia, has the potential to become one of the best players in the world, gambling news report.

After Wilshere turned the game over, Rooney had to put in the winner in the 86th minute as Nejc Pecnik equalized two minutes before. “He’s been fantastic,” Rooney commented Wilshere’s performance. “Jack and myself have formed a good understanding on the pitch when he’s in that deeper role. He’s still learning, he’s a young player but it’s a new role that he’s taken in his stride.”

Rooney went on to add “Hopefully he’s injury free because he will be a top player in world football.” National team manager Roy Hodgson also praised his player, saying, “Both strikes were fantastic and really summed up Jack’s game – in particular in the second half when he really took over the midfield.”

BBC.com: Euro 2016: Four games which could define qualifying

The European club footballing season might be over, but very important EURO 2016 qualifiers are coming up in the next few days. Scotland is going for the nation’s first major tournament appearance against the Republic of Ireland, a team that is also in the hunt for qualification places.

Northern Ireland, a side that never participated in a European Championship final tournament, are in good position in Group F, and they are going to entertain their biggest rivals, Romania in Bucharest. Wales are also striving to reach their first ever Euro tournament, and they will be in a wonderful place if they beat Belgium in the top match of Group B .

Though raising the number of teams from 16 to 24 could favour several smaller nations, keen followers of live sports results might have noticed that footballing giant Holland did everything in order to miss the event so far. They can tidy up things a bit in their away match against Latvia.

Iceland and the Czech Republic could edge one step closer to the EURO 2016 finals in Group A with a win from both sides with Tomas Rosicky preparing for his 100th cap.

Gareth Bale might lead Wales to a major event, which is a feature even Ryan Giggs was unable to pull off. The Dragons’ only participation in a major tournament came in the 1958 World Cup in Sweden, and though they had brilliant players in virtually every generation since, they always failed to qualify. This could change now as Wales is looking to overrun Belgium at the top of Group B.

In Group H Croatia will host Italy and according to gambling news a draw might suit to both sides as well as anyone who place a wager at online sportsbooks. Four of their last six matches against each other resulted in a tie and you can expect another draw as Croatia is sitting on the top of Group H with Squadra Azzurra following them after a two-point gap.

The Guardian: England face tall task to beat Slovenia’s goalkeeper Samir Handanovic

Jan Oblak might be one of the best young goalkeepers in the world, but as things look right now, he won’t get a chance to represent his country in serious matches in the near future, since 30-year-old Samir Handanovic of Internazionale is doing extremely well in goal.

Handanovic is tall but not too tall to get down for low shots, he is athletic and well-built but thin enough to be agile, and he is okay with his feet on the ball. According to former Italy and Inter hero Francesco Toldo, Handanovic carried his team on his shoulders with his saves, producing outstanding performances week in week out.

He is also a serial penalty killer, having saved 21 shots from the spot in his Serie A career which is only three less than the all-time record of Gianluca Pagliuca’s 24. “My number of saves is greater just because of our ages, but he’ll soon surpass me,” stated Pagliuca according to sports scores news.

The Hoffenheim midfielder put the ball into the net between the goalkeeper’s legs after a clever one-two between Filipe Luis and Philippe Coutinho in the 33rd minute. That was virtually the only exciting moment in the first half of a rather dull game played in steady rainfall.

Neymar, who joined the team on Monday after the final of the Champions League, had a disallowed goal and a great chance after he took the field in the second half.
