WWE Money in the Bank 2013

On July 14, two of World Wrestling Entertainment's top stars will compete in singles action at the annual July pay-per-view extravaganza Money in the Bank
.
Money in the Bank is one of the most wide open WWE pay-per-views, but that doesn't mean there aren't Superstars with less than a slim chance of victory heading into Sunday.

Championship challengers and Money in the Bank hopefuls head into battle, some with a puncher's chance of winning and some with less than that.

WWE may have a few surprises in store for us, but the following four Superstars and one tag team are not the men you want to bet on at Money in the Bank 2013. Their opponents' momentum, their characters or, in one case, their touring schedule likely means that Philadelphia fans will see them lose.

One of those stars was the very first undisputed champion and one of the most respected and admired performers of his, or any, generation. The other is a beast of a man, a physical specimen fresh out of a main event WWE championship program where he was pitted against the face of the company and the sport's top attraction. A match between the two would seemingly be a big deal.

Unfortunately, it is not.

Chris Jericho and Ryback will enter Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center on Sunday night for a match that could main event any WWE production. Instead, they will take to the ring in a match with little story behind it, not to mention a complete lack of excitement. Most damning to the creative team, however, is how little fans actually care about the Jericho-Ryback showdown.

During Monday's "go-home" edition of Raw, taking place just six days before the Money in the Bank pay-per-view, Jericho and Ryback did not even interact with one another. There was no video package hyping the match, nor was there any sort of advertising for the bout outside of a quick mention by the broadcast team.

Vasco x Flamengo 14-07-2013

Restam apenas cerca de 4 mil ingressos para o clássico deste domingo entre Vasco e Flamengo, no Estádio Mané Garrincha, em Brasília. Cerca de 62 mil ingressos já foram comercializados e não há mais entradas disponíveis para o setor superior, apenas para arquibancada inferior (R$ 180) e setor VIP (R$ 260). Estudantes têm direito à meia-entrada.

Segundo o site do Vasco, mandante do jogo, os ingressos serão vendidos neste domingo apenas nas bilheterias do estádio. Os portões serão abertos ao público às 15h, três horas e meia antes do início do jogo, e os organizadores do duelo pedem que os torcedores cheguem com antecedência ao local.

Nos setores inferiores, não haverá divisão de torcidas, mas no anel superior elas ficarão separadas - os vascaínos ficarão na Ala Sul, voltada para o Centro de Convenções Ulysses Guimarães, enquanto os rubro-negros estarão na Ala Norte, voltada para o Autódromo.

Cruzeiro x Náutico 14-07-2013

Enfim, o Cruzeiro voltará a jogar no Mineirão pelo Campeonato Brasileiro. A última partida do clube celeste no Gigante da Pampulha válida pelo Nacional ocorreu no início de junho de 2010 - empate contra o Santos, por 0 a 0.

A partida contra o Náutico neste domingo, às 18h30, não terá o meia Diego Souza, negociado com o Metalist da Ucrânia. A presença do camisa 10 no jogo era incerta, mas na tarde deste domingo, o diretor de futebol do clube, Alexandre Mattos, afirmou ao Superesportes que a ida de Diego Souza para a Ucrânia está acertada verbalmente.

Desta forma, o meia não mais vestirá a camisa celeste. Lucca deve ganhar uma oportunidade contra o Timbu. Outro desfalque é o atacante Luan, que cumprirá suspensão automática. Assim, Ricardo Goulart assume a vaga de titular.

A vitória pode aproximar o Cruzeiro, oitavo colocado, com nove pontos, dos líderes do Campeonato Brasileiro.“Temos que conscientizar os jogadores que cada jogo do Campeonato Brasileiro é decisivo e importante. Temos tido uma atitude muito forte em jogos em casa e temos que continuar assim”, destacou o técnico Marcelo Oliveira.

Contra o Náutico, o Cruzeiro defenderá uma escrita histórica: jamais perdeu para a equipe pernambucana na capital mineira. Em 13 jogos contra o Náutico em Belo Horizonte, venceu 12. Houve um único empate no Campeonato Brasileiro de 1992. A equipe então comandada por Ênio Andrade não saiu do 0 a 0 com o Timbu.

Adversário

O técnico do Náutico, Zé Teodoro, fala em “surpreender” o Cruzeiro. Para isso, ele já confirmou as estreias do goleiro Ricardo Berna e do atacante uruguaio Olivera. João Filipe volta à zaga, recuperado de lesão, e o meio-campista Marcos Vinícius ganhará uma nova chance. O restante do time é o mesmo que perdeu para a Ponte Preta, na última rodada, com apenas uma ressalva: o volante Magrão.

"O importante é a gente ter uma postura diferente dentro do Mineirão. Vamos tirar os espaços, marcar as principais jogadas e ter atenção nas bolas paradas. Sabemos ainda que alguns atletas deles não gostam de marcação individual. Temos que aliar audácia à prudência e vamos jogar no erro deles, nos contra-ataque”, explicou o técnico Zé Teodoro. 

O Náutico é o último colocado do Campeonato Brasileiro, com quatro pontos.

Mexico vs Martinique July 14, 2013

Mexico vs Canada takes place in the Gold Cup 2013 CONCACAF soccer tournament on Thursday night with Mexico desperate to bounce back from their opening game upset against Panama to whom they lost 2-1. The match will kick off at 11 p.m. ET

Mexico probably took place in the biggest shock of this year's tournament to date in their opening game, and not many would have predicted that the Mexican team would have imploded so spectacularly.

The 2-1 defeat to Panama left some so upset in Mexico that they called for the head of Manuel "Chepo" de la Torre. Mexico have had a tough past year, struggling to find any kind of consistent form and coming out with numerous disappointing displays and results.

Their opposition tonight will be Canada, who also lost their opening game of their Gold Cup 2013 campaign. They were also left disappointed with their start to the tournament, losing to tiny Martinique after giving up a 93rd minute goal.

Those loses mean that this Group A game becomes a must win for both teams if they hope to progress. A loss for either will see them almost certainly eliminated.

Mexico will again be big favorites to win this game, as they were in their opening game. They will be desperate to make some amends for their poor display against Panama, but Canada will be in no mood just to act as fodder for them to capture back form. Canada will want to cause an upset of their own, and will be buoyed on by Mexico's consistent poor form through the past 12 months or so.

Panama vs Canada July 14, 2013

Sunday will see the final match of Canada's 2013 Gold Cup entry, as Colin Miller's winless side will take on group-leading Panama at Sports Authority Field in Denver.

So far, it has been a very trying tournament for the Canadians, who have gone scoreless in back-to-back losses to Martinique and Mexico. 

For Panama, who have steamrolled the competition through their first two games, the hot start may be the beginning of another deep Gold Cup run. 

In recent years, Panama have put together a number of strong showings at the Gold Cup, reaching at least the quarterfinals in each of the previous four editions of the tournament, highlighted by a second-place finish in 2005. 

At the other end of the field, Canada will be disappointed to go home without a single point or even a goal.

Regardless of the outcome of Sunday's match, it is a time of transition for the Canadian national squad, as Miller will be replaced by Benito Floro as in August, per CBC.ca.

Despite the Canadian side's struggles through their first two matches, it's not as if this is a team that should be overlooked. Canada are a two-time Gold Cup champion, and though Miller's squad will likely be without a couple of key players in Will Johnson and Russell Teibert, there's enough talent for the Canadians to make some late noise against Panama.

Miller will certainly hope to end his time as Canada's manager on a high note, but that will be a tall order given how strong Panama have looked during the early stages of the tournament.

Heading into Sunday's Group A match, here's a look at all the information you'll need to know in order to catch all the action live.


When: Sunday, July 14 at 3:30 p.m. ET

Where: Sports Authority Field at Mile High, Denver, Colo.

Aachen gegen FC Schalke 04 14.07.2013

Der Sender "Sport 1" berichtet am Sonntag ab 18.45 Uhr vom Aachener Tivoli. Die Übertragung läuft bis 21 Uhr. "Sport 1" ist empfangbar über Kabelanschluss und Satellit, aber nicht über das digitale Antennenfernsehen DVB-T.

Der Traditionsverein aus Aachen ist in dieser Saison erstmals in seiner Geschichte viertklassig. Die Aachener sind als Tabellenletzter auf der 3. Liga in die Regionalliga West abgestiegen. In der Saison 2006/2007 hatten sie ein kurzeitiges Intermezzo in der Bundesliga gegegen.
Seit dem 1. Juni sind die Aachener in einem Insolvenzverfahren. Vor allem der Neubau des Stadion und der ausbleibende sportliche Erfolg führten die Alemannia in ein Finanz-Desaster.

Die Alemannia empfiehlt allen Besuchern, die sich im Vorfeld keine Eintrittskarte gesichert haben,  frühzeitig anzureisen. Hinterlegte Karten können ab 17.00 Uhr am Info-Point abgeholt werden.

Blockschließung: Wie auch zu den kommenden Heimspielen in der Regionalliga sind einige Zuschauerblöcke komplett geschlossen. Auf der Nordtribüne betrifft es die Blöcke N3-N6, im Osten  die Bereiche O1-O3 und auf der Sparkassentribüne die Blöcke W3 und W4.

Anreise: Die Tickets gelten als Fahrausweise im gesamten Gebiet des Aachener Verkehrsverbunds (AVV). Parkflächen rund um den Tivoli werden wie gewohnt von der APAG bewirtschaftet. Das Parkhaus (Areal C) steht gegen eine Gebühr in Höhe von 5 Euro ebenso für alle Zuschauer zur Verfügung.
Mannschaftsvorstellung: Etwa 15 Minuten vor Spielbeginn wird sich das neue Team der Alemannia offiziell den Fans vorstellen.

Bordeaux vs Benfica July 14, 2013

Praticamente 24 horas após o embate com o Etoile-Carouge, o Benfica tem pela frente um novo teste na Suíça, mas com um grau de dificuldade mais elevado.

O Bordeaux, da primeira divisão francesa, é o adversário que se segue para a equipa orientada por Jorge Jesus que, uma vez mais, deverá ser bastante apoiada pelos emigrantes portugueses que se encontram radicados em território helvético.

O objetivo do encontro com o sétimo classificado da última edição da Liga francesa irá servir para dar minutos a mais jogadores, sendo que muitos deles continuam a tentar convencer Jorge Jesus a ceder-lhes um lugar no plantel desta época, embora, além deste, ainda tenham mais uma partida para se mostrar, pois as águias vão defrontar o Sion na próxima terça-feira.

Ainda assim, teoricamente o Bordeaux é o adversário mais complicado dos três que o Benfica tem pela frente na Suíça, pelo que este embate poderá ser decisivo 

Bordeaux foi adversário na última temporada
No espaço de poucos meses, esta é a segunda vez que o Benfica vai ter o Bordeaux como adversário, pois o conjunto francês cruzou-se com os encarnados na caminhada para a final da Liga Europa na última época.

Após eliminarem o Bayer Leverkusen nos 16 avos de final, as águias tiveram que se superiorizar ao Bordeaux nos oitavos-de-final, conquistando o passaporte para os quartos-de-final após dois triunfos sobre os gauleses.

Primeiro, no Estádio da Luz, o Benfica venceu por 1x0, com um golo na própria baliza de Cédric Carrasso, e em França voltou a vencer por 3x2, com os marcadores de serviço a serem Jardel e Óscar Cardozo, jogadores que desta vez não viajaram com a equipa.

De referir que na altura o Bordeaux, apesar da eliminação aos pés do Benfica, desejou as maiores felicidades aos encarnados e desejou que estes conquistassem a Liga Europa, tendo os dirigentes da equipa francesa ficado maravilhados com o apoio que os encarnados receberam no Estádio Chaban-Delmas.

Everton vs Austria vienna July 14, 2013

The Roberto Martinez era officially starts on Sunday as Everton open their preseason campaign with a preseason trip to Austria Vienna. The Toffees have been in Austria all week from preseason training, and before heading home they will face off against a club that won the Austrian Bundesliga title last year.

The Austrian club is one of the most successful clubs in the country having won 24 league titles, good enough for second on the all-time list. They have also won 6 Austrian Supercup titles and 27 Austrian Cup titles. In Europe, the club made it to the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup final in 1978 followed by the semi-finals of the European Cup in 1979.

The club predominantly features players from Austria with 5 players coming from outside of the country, and has featured turnover over the past decade that would rival Chelsea. With an owner who was willing to spend triple the average Bundesliga budget, the turmoil resulting from the desire to win has been considerable.

For Everton, expect to see more of the youngsters and squad players in the squad. With many of the top players taking part in international matches after the conclusion of the previous campaign, Martinez is likely to give them more of a break before returning them to game action.

It is possible we could get a look at Joel Robles since the backup goalie normally plays the early preseason matches, but Robles returned to training this week and academy graduate Mason Springthorpe is more likely to get the nod.

As for everyone else your guess is good as any as to who will be playing, but keep an eye on what formation Martinez decides to deploy. A lot of internet space has been devoted to if Martinez will switch to a 3-5-2 or stay with Everton's 4-4-1-1. Saturday will be the first time we may get an inkling of what Martinez wants to do.

If you're interested in seeing the match, Everton TV will be broadcasting live but it will cost you. Single games are going for £3-4 pounds or you can purchase a package to see all of the preseason matches at a discount.

Karlsruhe vs Valencia July 14, 2013

Valencia CF disputa desde las 16:00 horas de este domingo, 14 de julio, el primer partido de la pretemporada ante el Karlsruher SC. Y estos son los once jugadores que partirán de inicio en el encuentro:
Valencia CF: Guaita, Joao Pereira, Ricardo Costa, Mathieu, Cissokho, Parejo, J. Fuego, Fede, Viera, Piatti y Alcacer.

Karlsruher: Orlishausen, Klingmann, Gordon, Maurersberg, Vitzthum, Alibaz, Peitz, Yabo, Mast, Hennings y Van der Biezen.


Vengo a despertar al gigante dormido». A Miroslav Djukic no le tembló la voz en su presentación como entrenador del Valencia. El serbio es valiente y quiere que el club de Mestalla recupere esa grandeza que, para él, nunca ha perdido. Pero curiosidades del destino, el equipo empezará a abrir los ojos en uno de sus escenarios malditos. Tal vez, el de peor recuerdo para toda una generación. Esta tarde, el conjunto blanquinegro regresa al Wildparkstadion veinte años después. Allí, en tierras germanas, el combinado entonces dirigido por Guss Hiddink cayó derrotado por 7-0 en el partido de vuelta de los dieciseisavos de final de la ya extinta Copa de la UEFA. Fue el mayor sonrojo vivido por la entidad en toda su historia europea. El Karlsruher le hizo un set en blanco que muchos aún no han podido olvidar. Fue la noche en el infierno.

Pero hoy será otra historia. Es el primer partido de pretemporada y el Karlsruher, ese equipo que humilló en su día al Valencia, es un equipo que acaba de ascender a la segunda división alemana. Entonces jugaron Sempere, Quique (Eloy), Serer (Gálvez), Camarasa, Giner, Belodedic, Tomás, Mijatovic, Pizzi, Fernando y Álvaro. Hoy, el técnico alineará dos equipos totalmente distintos cada 45 minutos y jugarán casi todos los que están disponibles. Paco Alcácer será de salida el '9' del Valencia y participarán también los chavales Mario Arqués, Fede, Robert Ibáñez y Salva Ruiz. No lo harán los recién llegados Banega, Feghouli y Romeu, como tampoco Canales y posiblemente Valdez, uno se recupera de su lesión y el otro con molestias.

Bochum gegen Aston Villa July 14, 2013

Peter Neururer hat entschieden: Die Spieler, die am Sonntag (15.30 Uhr) bei der Generalprobe des VfL Bochum gegen Aston Villa im Kader stehen, werden den Kampf um die Startplätze für den Zweitliga-Auftakt unter sich ausmachen. Nach dem 3:0-Sieg gegen Twente erwartet den VfL mit Aston Villa ein härterer Gegner.

„Die Zuschauer werden die erste Elf sehen.“ Peter Neururer betrachtet die Generalprobe des VfL Bochum am Sonntag (15.30 Uhr) gegen Aston Villa zwar auch nur als ein weiteres, abschließendes Testspiel, doch große personelle Rochaden wird es nicht mehr geben in diesem Spiel gegen den Klub aus der Premier League. Aus dem Kreis der 14, 15 Spieler, die Neururer in dieser Partie einsetzen will, wird sich die Elf zusammensetzen, die eine Woche später Union Berlin Paroli bieten und möglichst mit einem Erfolg in die Zweitliga-Saison starten soll.


VFL BOCHUM

Neururer hat 14 Kandidaten für die erste Elf des VfL Bochum
Die Vorbereitung des VfL Bochum auf die kommende Zweitliga-Saison neigt sich dem Ende entgegen. Gegen Aston Villa will VfL-Trainer Peter Neururer die elf Spieler, die für das Auftaktspiel gegen Union Berlin in Frage kommen, aufstellen. Auf einigen Positionen bieten sich dabei mehrere Varianten.

Optimal ist die vergangene Spielzeit für die „Top-Mannschaft“ allerdings nicht verlaufen. Rang 15 - mehr sprang nicht heraus für das Team des Schotten Paul Lambert, der in Deutschland noch bekannt sein dürfte aus seiner Zeit bei Borussia Dortmund. International bekannt und begehrt ist auch Christian Benteke. Der 22-jährige Torjäger und belgische Nationalspieler mit afrikanischen Wurzeln traf in der Liga 19 Mal ins Tor - derzeit hat man offenbar bei den Tottenham Hotspurs ein Auge auf Benteke geworfen. Mit dem Iren Shay Given verfügt Aston Villa zudem über eine Torwart-Legende.

Arsenal vs. Indonesia XI July 14, 2013

Arsenal open preseason play with a match against Indonesia as a part of the club's Asia Tour. The journey serves as an opportunity to expand the Gunners' brand while also preparing the squad for another highly anticipated season.

The fixtures over the next couple weeks won't showcase the same intensity as a Premier League or Champions League match. That said, it's a good chance for the squad to shake off some rust and also for the younger players to gain some experience.

With the start of the Premier League campaign on the horizon, expectations are beginning to take shape for Arsenal. After a strong finish to last season, the Gunners must attempt to build off that success as they hope to push toward the top of the table.


Where: GBK Stadium in Jakarta, Indonesia

When: Sunday, July 14 at 9:45 a.m. ET and 2:45 p.m. BT

Supersport vs Manchester City July 14, 2013

Manchester City and Arsenal both kick off their pre-season campaigns this afternoon, with the Blues taking on Supersport at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria and the Gunners bidding to get off to a winning start against the Indonesia XI in Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, Jakarta.

Manuel Pellegrini will be keen to win his first game in charge of City, who kick off at 2pm GMT. Arsene Wenger's side get things under way at 2.45pm.

Sportsmail's Chris Wheeler is in South Africa watching City and Sami Mokbel is in Jakarta watching Arsenal. Both will be sending regular updates throughout.

The Manchester City team is in too: Hart, Richards, Kompany, Garcia, Kolarov, Barry, Fernandinho, Razak, Suarez, Nasri, Dzeko

Here's the first update from Sami Mokbel in Jakarta.

'Just under two hours to kick off here in a humid Jakarta ahead of Arsenal's first pre-season match of the season against an Indonesian Dream Team and the atmosphere is already building here at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium.

'It will be interesting to see how the pitch holds up after an entire day of rain yesterday. If there's even the slightest doubt over the pitch then surely Arsene Wenger will not risk his key players today.  It'll be interesting to see what team the manager selects.'

England vs Australia July 14, 2013

 England have full control over the match and are just four wickets away from winning the Nottingham Test and take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. But Michael Clarke thinks otherwise.

Australia's newspapers are hoping teen sensation Ashton Agar can replicate his record-breaking first Test innings and guide his team to victory in the fluctuating first Ashes Test against England.

While the media Sunday highlighted yet more umpiring controversies that have dogged the series opener at Nottingham, commentators pointed to the 19-year-old rookie as Australia's unlikely saviour after his amazing debut knock of 98 batting at number 11.


At the end of fourth day's play Australia were struggling at 174/6, needing another 137 for a win. Australia's first innings hero Ashton Agar and vice-captain Brad Haddin are at the crease. Agar was promoted ahead of Mitchell Starc, Peter Siddle and James Pattinson on Saturday.

Earlier, Ian Bell's hundred started it off brilliantly for the hosts but Australia fought back to remove the last four wickets for 19 runs. The visitors then had a great start with Shane Watson and Chris Rogers, who added 84 runs before former fell lbw to Broad. That opened up the gates and Graeme Swann then picked up Steve Smith and Phil Hughes with some fine display of spin bowling. Joe Root too came into action with Ed Cowan's wicket, whose Test future seems to be in doldrums. Eventually England ended on top and will fancy their chances going into Day 5.
