That question has now been answered once and for all. The German defender is staying, with both sides agreeing to continue their partnership for at least another year.Real Madrid have long maintained a policy of offering players over the age of 30 only one-year contract extensions.

Herve Renard was supposed to lead the Saudi Arabian national team to the World Cup but the Saudis dismissed him. Still, a strange twist of fate sent him to Mexico after all he was hired by Tunisia today. Strange indeed, because the Carthage Eagles parted ways with Sabri Lamouchi “only” because of a heavy 5–1 defeat to Sweden in the opening round, which significantly reduced the Africans’ chances of reaching the knockout stage. Tunisia still has matches against Japan and the Netherlands ahead of them, and therefore still has hope of advancing, which is why the federation opted for such a drastic move.World Cup chaos: Tunisia axe Lamouchi after just one match?!Renard is set to arrive in Mexico on Tuesday, where Tunisia’s base camp is located, to lead his first training session. He will be accompanied by new members of his coaching staff, including former Tunisian international Wahbi Khazri, who had himself been mentioned as a possible replacement for Lamouchi.

Supposedly everyone is equal, but not everyone receives the same treatment. Some get special treatment—and not the pleasant kind. What it would be like became apparent as national teams arrived on North American soil. The Uzbeks were “shaken down to their underwear,” and the Uruguayans went through something similar. On the eve of their opening World Cup match, they were humiliated. Ahead of their game against Saudi Arabia in Miami, they were treated in Florida as if they were drug traffickers. The Uruguayan team bus arrived at the stadium, and the players were subjected to security checks. After getting off the bus, they had to unload their belongings so that sniffer dogs could inspect the luggage. Meanwhile, they stood quietly in line, waiting for the police officers to complete the procedure.🚨 ACCUEIL ULTRA-SÉCURISÉ POUR L’URUGUAY AUX ÉTATS-UNIS ! 😳🇺🇾Chiens détecteurs de drogue et d’explosifs, contrôles renforcés… la Celeste a été accueillie sous haute surveillance…(@AlbertOrtegaE..

African selections began their World Cup quest with mixed results. Tunisia and South Africa lost, while all other participants drew in their matches. Ivory Coast remains the only African team with a win so far (1-0 against Ecuador), but Senegal, DR Congo, Algeria and Ghana are still scheduled to play in the first round. The Lions of Teranga are facing the most difficult task, as they are about to face the World Cup favorites France, while Ghana should have an easy task against Panama, but only if their fans manage to avoid a curse.

Their center backs are not so fast and with our pacy forwards, that is how we scored the two goals,” he added.T..
