The Georgia defense looked like it was NFL-caliber en route to a Jaylon Johnson Jersey national championship in 2021.The Bulldogs allowed the second-fewest yards per game among FBS teams in 2021 (267.9) and allowed the second-fewest points per game (10.2).

Two players were consensus All-Americans and another was on The Sporting News' All-American team.The first round of the 2022 NFL Draft showed just how much profe sional teams liked that defense.

LYON, France Megan Rapinoe looks set to be fit for Brett Gardner Jersey the United States' Women's World Cup final against Netherlands, saying Saturday: "I expectto be good to go".

The striker, who has scored five goals in this World Cup including succe sive braces in the knockout wins against Spain and host France Gary Sanchez Jersey , was a surprise absentee for the semifinal victory Tuesday over England because of a slight hamstring strain.

"As of now, I'm expecting to be ready for tomorrow. I feel good," Rapinoe said at USA's pre-match pre s conference Saturday. "That's all I can really say right now. We have one more training se sion.

"I'm pretty open and honest with you. Nothing Paul O'Neill Jersey hidden. I expect to be good to go for tomorrow."

It hasn't been difficult to tell just how young the current U.S. national team is. With an average age of 22, and boasting several teenagers, the U.S. squad presently in camp ahead of Monday's friendly against Bolivia almost feels like a youth national team.

It also boasts some not-so-old veterans like 22-year-old Matt Miazga, .

Miazga is far from old, but his six years of experience as a profe sional half spent in MLS with the New York Red Bulls and half spent at Chelsea and on loan to Dutch side Vite se Arnhem gives him more experience than all but a handful players currently in U.S. camp. He has made the transition from awestruck rookie to San Francisco 49ers Jersey 19-year-old starter to $5 million transfer target, to regular starter and standout defender for a team in a respected European league.

"I remember when I was with Red Bulls, and at Chelsea as well, and my first few caps with the national team, when youre playing rondos, the boxes, five-v-twos, the youngest always starts in the middle," Miazga told Goal in an exclusive interview. "I dont have to start in the middle anymore. So then I realize, wow, time flew by, Im the old guy now."

He is poised to add national team starter to that run, and Adrian Colbert Jersey he's also ready to add leader to that list. At a time when the U.S. needs new players to follow to replace a long-standing generation of stars who are being phased out in the wake of the team's recent World Cup qualifying failure, Miazga is on a fast track to leading. He pointed to his growth into a leadership role at Vite se as one of his greatest improvements in what was arguably his best clubseason to date.

"I felt more confidence and more trust from the coach this year for sure," Miazga said. "But also, I just thought Im getting older.Im in a position where you need to be commanding, you need to communicate a lot, you need to be a leader.And I just kind of took it upon myself to be that leader,tobe more of a presence and help my team-mates out any way I can. Organize and just be prepared for everything."

The 6-foot-4-inch defender understands full well how important having strong leaders can be to a team. He has played alongside the likes of Thierry Henry and John Terry on the club level, and he hasn't forgotten what it was like being a youngster dropped into a national team.

"When I was first brought up, 2015, it was still that era of the older generation," Miazga said. "The Tim Howards and Clint Dempseys, and you always looked up to them. When I was growing up, in 2006 and 2010, these are the guys you were looking up to. I remember when I came into camp you really felt like youre here because these guys have been here such a long time.

"But now, Im getting older, everyones getting older, and I think theres a new wave, a new generation of players coming in," he continued. "Thats normal, it happens in every transition. Players are getting older, and young players are coming up, and thats how it goes."

Miazga heads towards the summer playing for two teams in states of flux. He is due to return to Chelsea this summer, at a time when , with Maurizio Sarri expected to replace him. Regardle s of who the manager is at Stamford Bridge, Miazga K'Waun Williams Jersey feels his two seasons starting for Vite se have helped him polish his game to a point where he can compete for a place with Chelsea's first team.

"Im confident in my abilities. Im for sure ready for the next level," said Miazga, who also wouldn't rule out a return to Vite se C. J. Beathard Jersey . "Im a confident player. I know what I can do, I know what I can bring. I just need to control what I can control. Every time I have a chance, every time I have an opportunity to play, try to make an impact, try to impre s and play well, and try to win football games."

Miazga's first season at Chelsea saw him struggle in the limited minutes he was given by then-manager Guus Hiddink. He was then sent on loan when Conte arrived as manager.

"I wouldnt say I wasnt ready, because at the time you think youre ready," Miazga said. "But then you realize as youre getting older and youre playing more football games and getting better and improving and analyzing and all that stuff, you realize how much you improve and how much more Ive added to my game, and how much more a sured I am of myself.

"Thats the way it should be. You dont want to stay stagnant. You want to keep improving," Miazga said. "Im not trying to be the best version of myself at 20 years old. I want to keep improving every year, and keep adding to my game, and being the best I can be year by year. It would be bad for me to say that at 20-21 years old Im peak product, Im not getting any better, because Im always going to strive for more, strive for consistency, for perfection."

hoping to build on what have been some strong performances in the starting lineup. They began with his first national team start, in last summer's Gold Cup. The U.S. Solomon Thomas Jersey needed a three-goal win to win its group, and Miazga headed home the goal that gave the Americans the 3-0 win they needed.

"It boosts your confidence. It was my third cap and I was scoring a goal on my home soil," he said. "These are things you dream of, you envision. I always envisioned myself being a national team player, playing big games for the national team, scoring goals. It was a good feeling. I was happy about it, but I was more happy about the performance, that we won and how I played. The goal was just a cherry on top. And we got a clean sheet. I like clean sheets more than me scoring my own goal.

"That was my first start for the national team. I felt like, okay, I got my first 90 minutes, scored a goal, got a clean sheet in a fairly important game. It was in the Gold Cup, in a competition, and it helped us get first place. I was like, okay, lets build on it now, lets continue to focus, and push myself along."

Miazga, along with long-time youth teammate and close friend Cameron Carter-Vickers, are seen as the future of the U.S. central defense, and the upcoming friendlies against Bolivia, Ireland and France should offer a good showcase of the tandem that helped the U.S. reach the quarterfinals of the 2015 Under-20 World Cup.

Miazga isn't shying away from the label, and the case can be made that he and Carter-Vickers are the present of the U.S. central defense at least while John Brooks remains out of the picture Jaquiski Tartt Jersey . Miazga isn't just aiming for a regular starting role, he wants to be a leader on the team, and a player who young newcomers turn to, in much the way he turned to mentors in the early stages of his career.

"The group here is pretty young. Im one of the more experienced players here. Thats personally good for me, to try and help these younger guys, because I always liked it when older guys take you under their wing and he

Manchester City has been banned from competing in the Champions League for two years.

UEFA handed down the punishment, which includes a 30 Dave Cash Jersey million fine ($33m),to the Premier League giants for breaching Financial Fair Play rules.

A statement read: "The Adjudicatory Chamber, having considered all the evidence, has found that Manchester City Football Club committed serious breaches of the UEFA Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations by overstating its sponsorship revenue in its accounts and in the break-even information submitted to UEFA between 2012 and 2016.

"The Adjudicatory Chamber has also found that in breach of the regulations the Club failed to cooperate in the investigation of this case by the CFCB.

"The Adjudicatory Chamber has imposed disciplinary measures on Manchester City Football Club directing that it shall be excluded from participation in UEFA club competitions in the next two seasons (2020/21 and 2021/22 seasons Jorge Alfaro Jersey ) and pay a fine of 30 million.

"The decision of the Adjudicatory Chamber is subject to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport Juan Samuel Jersey (CAS). If Manchester City Football Club exercises that right the full reasoned decision of the Adjudicatory Chamber will not be published prior to publication of the final award by the CAS.

"As noted by the Adjudicatory Chamber, the club has the right to appeal this decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Therefore, UEFA will not be commenting further on this decision at this stage."

Manchester City responded with a statement on their Scott Kingery Jersey official website, expre sing itsdisappointment with the decision.

But the English side isnot surprised by the suspension and saidUEFAmade the decision even before the investigation had started.

"Manchester City is disappointed but not surprised by todays announcement by the UEFA Adjudicatory Chamber," the statement said. "The Club has always anticipated the ultimate need to seek out an independent body and proce s to impartially consider the comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence in support of its position.

"In December 2018, the UEFA Chief Investigator publicly previewed the outcome and sanction he intended to be delivered to Manchester City, Darren Daulton Jersey before any investigation had even begun. The subsequent flawed and consistently leaked UEFA proce s he oversaw has meant that there was little doubt in the result that he would deliver.The Club has Tim McCarver Jersey formally complained to the UEFA Disciplinary body, a complaint which was validated by a CAS ruling.

"Simply put, this is a case initiated by UEFA, prosecuted by UEFA and judged by UEFA.With thisprejudicialproce s now over, the Club will pursue an impartialjudgmentas quickly as po sible and will therefore, in the first instance, commence proceedings with the Court of Arbitration for Sport at the earliest opportunity."

After winning the Championship last season in runaway fashion, Fulham will look to bring their goalscoring prowe s back to the English top flight.

There are, however, plenty of concerns regarding the club's defence as the London club yo-yo back to the Premier League.

They bagged an incredible 106 goals last season acro s 46 league matches, with striker Aleksandar Mitrovic setting a Championship record with 43 goals himself. However, the backline proved leaky down the stretch and gave fans flashbacks to their past two Premier League campaigns, which have both been calamitous at the back.

Fulham have see-sawed between the Premier League and Championship for five consecutive seasons, either going up or dropping Alex Wood Jersey down in each succe sive campaign. They will look to finish above the bottom three in the Premier League for the first time since 2012/13, the year before relegation ended the club's 13-year run in the top flight.

Perak in second place lagged further behind leaders JDT in the Malaysia Super League standings, when they could only manage a 1-1 away draw against Selangor in their round Jonathan Schoop Jersey 16 clash. Find out who performed and who didn't in the match that was held at the Kuala Lumpur Football Stadium on Tuesday.

Selangor vs Perak match highlights

SELANGOR

Khairul Azhan Khalid - 6/10

The custodian did not do much wrong in the encounter, his tenth consecutive match for the Red Giants. However, he was unlucky to concede a goal; an own goal by centre back Alfonso de la Cruz.

Amirul Ashraf Ariffin - 5/10

The young right back had a shaky game, and his failure to backtrack quickly enough led to the visitors' goal.

Alfonso de la Cruz - 5/10

The Spanish centre back did fairly well throughout the match to keep out the Bos Gaurus' attackers, except for his 42nd minute own goal.

Willian Pacheco - 6/10

The Brazilian centre back did fairly well throughout the match to keep out the Bos Gaurus' attackers, taking risks to go up and join his team's attack after they went behind.

Kannan Kalaiselvan - 6/10

The left back had a tough time guarding his flank, but did just enough to keep the lively Perak attack away from his side of the penalty box.

Saiful Ridzuan Selamat - 5/10

Could not stopPerak midfielders from dominating the middle of the park, which resulted in his side resorting to hoofing long balls to the C. J. Cron Jersey front. Picked up a yellow card in the second half.

Evan Dimas Darmono - 6/10

The Indonesian midfielder was unable to help Selangor play a more attacking game, but did sufficiently well defending from the midfield position with his interceptions.

Amri Yahyah - 7/10 (Man of the Match)

The 37-year old player, playing in a more attacking role, was the liveliest Selangor player on the pitch and caused problems to much younger opposing players. Capped off his fine performance with his 81st minute equaliser, his second league goal of the season.

Kugan Dhevarajan - 4/10

The 21-year old forward scored his first Marwin Gonzalez Jersey ever goal for Selangor in their previous league match, but could not replicate his form on Tuesday. He struggled to create spaceand chances for his attacking teammates.

Rufino Segovia - 5/10

With Selangor midfielders pinned back in their own half and attackers underperforming, the Spanish attacker had to drop down to help his side regainpo se sion of the ball, and was unable to threaten the visitors' danger area.

Shahrul Igwan Samsudin - 4/10

The forward played rather poorly, unable to penetrate Perak's penalty area through the left.

Substitutions:

Syahmi Safari - 6/10

The youngster came on just before the hour mark for Evan, and was able to help change things around in midfield for the hosts.

Halim Zainal - 6/10

The midfielder's 73rd-minute introduction for Shahrul further helped the Red Giants control the midfield in the second half, which then created space for them to net the equaliser.

Azamuddin Akil - NA

The forward came on in the 82nd minute for Kugan, hisfirst game since almost two months ago.

PERAK

Khairul Amri Salehuddin - 5/ Addison Reed Jersey 10

The goalkeeper was rarely troubled in the match, but when he was, he couldn't keep out Amri's try; Selangor's equaliser.

Amirul Azhan Bin Aznan - 6/10

The right back did well to help keep out Selangor attackers, but conceded the foul that then led to the hosts' equaliser.

Jad Noureddine - 7/10

The Lebanese centre back commanded his defence well, keeping out the usually lethal Rufino and making sure that Khairulhad good cover.

Shahrul Saad - 7/10

The defender paired up well with Jad, ensuring that Selangor could not penetrate into the penalty box.

Nazirul Naim Che Hashim - 6/10

The left back was rarely troubled by the underperforming Kugan.

Kenny Pallraj Davaragi - 7/10

The right midfielder made himself a nuisance on the wing, making sure that Kannan was too busy marking him to push up and help the hosts' attacks.

Brendan Gan - 7/10

The Malaysian international commanded the middle of the park, helping ensure that his team won the battle in midfield, keeping Selangor midfielders at bay, and stopping them from delivering the ball to the forwards.

Khairil Anuar Zamri - 7/10

The midfielder combined Kennys Vargas Jersey well with Gan to control the midfield, but had to be taken off just after the hour mark due to a worrying-looking injury.

Nor HakimHa san - 7/10

Hakim ensured that Perak's left flank caused problems to the hosts, and it was his low cro s thatAlfonso inadvertently knocked into his own net in the 42nd minute.

Nizad Ayub - 6/10

The forward provided enough support for Brazilian forward Wander Luiz.

Wander Luiz - 6/10

The Brazilian forward managed to threaten the Selangor danger area with his attempts, but without his compatriot and striker partner Gilmar, he failed to find the back of the net.

Substitutions:

Rafiuddin Roddin Max Kepler Jersey - 5/10

Rafiuddin came on for Khairil, but could not help the Bos Gaurus maintain their midfield dominance, which allowed the momentum of the game to change hands and Selangor to find the equaliser.

Asyraf Sahizah - NA

Came on late for Nizad.

Pep Guardiola believes a lack of understanding caused Football A sociation chief executive Martin Glenn's haphazard remarks about the Manchester City manager's yellow ribbon.

Jeimer Candelario Jersey

, putting him in breach of the organisation's kit and advertising regulations.

The City bo s , who were imprisoned as part of the crackdown that followed last October's referendum in Catalonia and remain in custody.

Over the weekend Glenn refuted Guardiola's viewpoint that the ribbon was a humanitarian symbol as opposed to a political one, but .

"We have re-written Law 4 of the game so that things like a poppy are okay," he said. "But things that are going to be highly divisive, and that could be strong religious symbols, it could be the Willie Horton Jersey Star of David, it could be the hammer and sickle, it could be a swastika, anything like former Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe on your shirt, these are the things we don't want."

Glenn, who went on to reference British Eurosceptic political party UKIP and the terrorist Islamic State group in his remarks, .

"You say extraordinary comments," Guardiola said, with a chuckle, when the i sue was raised at a news conference ahead of the second leg of the Champions League round-of-16 tie against Basel.

"Mr Glenn has apologised, so all is well, but the first impre sion when I heard that was he does not understand what the yellow ribbon means.

"He made comments that are far away from that. Jack Morris Jersey Maybe now he will realise it is not the same.

"It is not about independence or no independence. It is about people who are in jail when they didn't do absolutely anything to be in jail.

"I think now he is going to understand the comments were because he did not understand the reality. But now I am pretty sure he will."

Guardiola will stop wearing the ribbon if requested to as an outcome of the FA hearing and, in a further observation on Glenn' Detroit Tigers Jersey s words, he added: "Many times I speak for myself and after I say 'why did I say that?'. I have regrets over what I said. Sometime that happens."

Meanwhile, Profe sional Match Officials Group Limited (PGMOL) chief Mike Riley attended a meeting with City's director of football Txiki Begiristain on Tuesday following Guardiola's request Jordan Zimmermann Jersey for talks over protecting players from serious foul play.

On the eve of defending a 4-0 aggregate lead against Basel, his interest in the matter appeared to have waned.

"Someone informed me 15 minutes before I was here that Mike Riley was here. I did not know Lance Parrish Jersey it," he revealed.

"He was talking to Txiki you know better than me.

"But when we talked about tackles, it was not about Manchester City, it was about football.

"There are tackles and there are violent actions. We are defending the players.

"I will speak with Txiki, he will tell me how the meeting was."

Pep Guardiola's Manchester City survived fierce pre sure from Atletico Madrid to book their place in the semi-finals of the Champions League and a showdown with Real Madrid.

City went through 1-0 on aggregate after playing out a goalle s draw at the Wanda Metropolitano against the La Liga champions.

Atletico pushed City hard in the second half and pegged the Premier League leaders back near their own box for much of proceedings.

Antoine Griezmann went agonisingly close with a snapshot from the edge of the area and in the final seconds substitute Angel Correa had a shot from close range parried away by Ederson.

But as the tension in the stadium built, some Atletico players lost their heads. Felipe was sent off for two bookings in the closing minutes, while former City player Stefan Savic was fortunate to avoid a red too after instigating a melee after Felipe's Trevor Hoffman Jersey second caution for felling Phil Foden.

BT Sport in the UK reported Savic then clashed with unused City substitute Jack Grealish in the tunnel post-match, having been caught on camera pulling the England man's hair in response to an insult.

It was not all good news for City though, as both Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker went off with injuries.

A big night in Madrid!

Manchester City (@ManCity) Guardiola's City show their mettle to survive Atletico onslaught

This was a different side to City than the Premier League is used to seeing.

Normally, it is City attacking at will, keeping the ball at their leisure and dictating terms. This Franmil Reyes Jersey was not like that at all.

They dealt well with Atletico in the first half, keeping them at arm's length and having the best chance of the opening 45 minutes as Ilkay Gundogan hit the post from close range.

But Diego Simeone fired up his side at half-time and Atleti were terrific in the second half, able to win the ball regularly with a hard pre sing game to which City did not have any answer.

It became more and more a rearguard action and John Stones demonstrated the tenacity of City's defence with a superb block to divert a goalbound effort from Matheus Cunha in the closing stages.

For all their second-half po se sion it took Atletico 100 minutes to finally test Ederson as Angel Correa's shot was parried away from close range deep in stoppage time.

City seemed caught in a situation of not being sure what to do. Attack and try to get that second goal in the tie or sit back and risk Atletico taking control. The latter happened but they got away with it in the end.

IT'S GETTING HEATED BETWEEN ATLETICO MADRID AND MANCHESTER CITY

ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) Indiscipline ends up costing Simeone and Atletico Madrid

It is a shame that the melee and chaos in the final stages will be what this quarter-final second leg is probably remembered for. Atletico did a great job on the pitch and made one of the tournament favourites endure a nervous 90 minutes.

They had built up real momentum in the second half and it should have been a barnstorming end to proceedings.

Instead, City were given a lift as Atletico lost the plot. Felipe got Christian Villanueva Jersey himself needle sly sent off and team-mate Savic really should have gone, too.

Felipe was perhaps fortunate to be on the pitch at that stage as he'd escaped sanction for a late challenge on Foden in the first half that had left the England man with a cut to his head that required heavy bandaging.

He was later cautioned for fouling De Bruyne but then did see red in the 89th minute as, after winning the ball in a tackle on Foden, he left his foot in on the follow-through and caught the City man.

Savic then added fuel to an already volatile situation by trying to drag Foden to his feet and off the pitch, and in the resulting confrontation, he appeared to butt his head into Raheem Sterling's.

If Atletico had stayed cool, Aaron Loup Jersey they could have kept City under the cosh until the dying seconds. As it was, they wasted their good work and took away from a superb tactical effort from Simeone.

UEFA Champions League (@ChampionsLeague) De Bruyne and Walker injury worries for Guardiola and City

It was not all good news for City as they looked to have picked up some injuries from the game.

Guardiola said post-match it was too early to know the severity of the i sues for De Bruyne and Walker, but with their FA Cup semi-final with Liverpool coming up on Saturday, both have to be considered doubts.

De Bruyne was substituted early in the second half for Sterling and he immediately had attention on his right ankle from City's medical staff.

Walker's problem was more visible. He came off worse in a challenge with Renan Lodi and, after trying to play on, limped off.

Frank White Jersey Manchester City have been warned by Frank Lampard that they are going to have to show some balls in a Champions League quarter-final second leg with Liverpool.

fully aware that they have a continental mountain to climb.

A 3-0 first leg defeat has left the Premier League leaders with it all to do if their European adventure is to be extended into the last four, with previously impeccable form deserting them at a crucial time.

Defeat at Anfield was followed a stunning derby reversal against Manchester United with the Red Devils battling Burch Smith Jersey back from two goals down to prevail 3-2 and Lampard is looking for a positive response from City to a rare bad patch.

The former Blues midfielder told the Evening Standard: In many ways, this second leg could just come down to showing some balls.

Manchester City have to show balls by playing to score a lot of goals and Liverpool have to show it by defending for 90 minutes against the best team in England Adalberto Mondesi Jersey this year.

I have played in these knife-edge Champions League games knowing an away goal almost finishes you off and its not nice. It is not easy to play in, its not easy for the home supporters in the stadium. You can dominate and then Wily Peralta Jersey that away goal knocks you again.

Lampard added: People should be careful to write off City. All of their focus is on this now - the Premier League title will be won sooner or later.

They will have ma sive determination - not just because of what happened in the first leg but also due to their 3-2 defeat to Manchester United at the weekend.

Pep Guardiolas side are not used to going through a bad patch, they hadnt lost two games in a row all season. This is not ideal.

If theyd won the League beating United by four or five goals, as looked likely at one stage, Hunter Dozier Jersey that would have really set them up for the Liverpool game.

But its not like theyre a team in crisis, they can turn most results around - 3-0 is not out of reach.

Liverpool, though, know that one away goal for them will leave City needing to net at least five times, and Lampard acknowledges that .

He added: The past two Manchester City games did highlight some weakne ses in defence.

They have not been exposed for most of Jason Hammel Jersey the season but as a back four they can be pulled apart.

Man Utd Potential Starting Line-up

Mourinho will be tempted to go with the same XI which managed to somehow turn around last week's seemingly-lost cause against Manchester City, meaning a retention of the 4-3-3 shape and another starting place for Ander Herrera.

However, if the Portuguese decides to forego the extra man in midfield against a West Brom side which is likely to sit deep and look to take its chances on the break, that could mean a recall for at least one of Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial further up.
