Paraguay Surprised Brazil 1-0

ASUNCION, Paraguay: Brazil lost for the fourth time in five World Cup qualifiers after Diego Gomez’s goal gave Paraguay a 1-0 win in Asuncion.

Five-time world champions Brazil, who beat Ecuador 1-0 last Friday, are now fifth in the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup on 10 points, ahead of Venezuela on goal difference.

Only the top six teams will qualify for the World Cup held in the United States, Mexico and Canada, with the seventh-placed team having to go through another qualifying round.

Dorival Jr, who took over the Brazil squad from Tite after the team was knocked out in the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, saw his side overcome by Gomez’s 20th-minute goal.

“The coach is still looking for the best way for us to play and it is evident in the results of the matches.

“A lot of new players, we’re not confident enough. It’s not easy to qualify, it’s a difficult period and we have to know how to deal with it.

“Now the phase of change, we are not confident enough. We have to work hard, getting results on the field is the best answer,” said Brazilian defender Marquinhos.

Brazil will continue their qualifying campaign next month against Chile and Peru.

Diaz, Salah Cheer Slot At Anfield

LIVERPOOL, England: Arne Slot’s comfortable start to life as Liverpool manager continued when his new team won 2-0 over Brentford in the English Premier League (EPL) action early this morning.

Liverpool dominated from the start, scoring a superb goal following a quick counter-attack when Luis Diaz fired into the corner for his first goal of the season after 13 minutes.

Brentford responded well, going close to scoring with two close-range headers in each half, but Mohamed Salah ended the visitors’ hopes of picking up a point from their trip to Anfield with a second 20 minutes from time.

Slot, the Dutch manager, is now 2-0 after two games as he takes on the difficult task of replacing Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool boss, with a testy trip to Manchester United to come.

“The time with Jurgen was amazing and the time with the new boss was fun and he has his own style to practice,” Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk told Sky Sports.

“We worked hard on a few things and you can see a lot with or without the ball which gives the team confidence.

“We have to, I’m not saying forget about the Jurgen period, but it’s in the past and we’ve had a wonderful time and now it’s time for a new boss to spark new success.

“I think if we were calmer we might have had more space but it’s something we’re still working on. It’s a good time and hopefully we can improve and chase whatever trophies.”

Before yesterday, no Liverpool boss since Graeme Souness in 1991 had won their first two league games in charge.

Brentford, without star striker Ivan Toney in the squad again as speculation over his future mounts, were able to challenge but could not deal with the pressure before the break.

Liverpool stepped up their attack after the break and deserved a second goal, with Salah adding to his opening-day tally at Ipswich Town with another impressive goal to secure victory.

Salah is now fifth in Liverpool’s all-time leading scorers list at Anfield in all competitions with 118 goals, surpassing Robbie Fowler as he once again looks set to steer the Reds to success.

“We know Liverpool are a good team,” said Brentford boss Thomas Frank.

“For me Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool are three teams that are a little above each other, among the best teams in Europe.

“We expected more, we came here to try to win, but we couldn’t do it.”

Salah Scored Most Goals In First Game In EPL History

LONDON: Liverpool opened the curtain on the Premier League with the goal of striker Mohamed Salah, which is a routine matter for the Anfield club.

At 32 and out of contract next summer, the Egyptian forward is still a revelation at Anfield.

Salah has now scored the most goals in a first game in Premier League history, with his second-half goal against Ipswich the ninth time he has started a campaign with a goal.

Salah also helped Diogo Jota’s goal to complete Liverpool’s 300th goal in 350 appearances.

“Every year he comes back in better shape than the season before. He’s one of those players who has a longer summer break and he takes advantage of it.

“He was brilliant, especially in the second half when he helped us win.

“Mo looks after his body very well. He is a professional who needs to be emulated. If our main players play like that, he will help the team,” said defender Andy Robertson.

StreamEast – Stream East Live Stream

The StreamEast news section of the website is interesting, particularly for those who want to read the latest updates while watching football online for free.

A quick scan of StreamEast news page shows that the website is regularly updated, just as you would expect from a well-oiled, organised business model.

If StreamEast continue to invest in their sports news section, it wouldn’t be a huge surprise to see the website grow even further and they could branch out into betting.

The StreamEast website has been a huge hit for football fans wanting to watch sport online for free over the years but many have tried to copy their business model.

Domain changes and tweaks to the appearance may be required in time, particularly after rival websites attempt to ‘cash in’ on theStreamEast brand. This was also the case with several other streaming sites, including Jokerlivestream.

Simply from searching the StreamEast website on Google, you can see several websites that have similar URL domains. In addition, some use variations of the original name in a bid to con users into visiting their website.

Our first piece of advice would be to always use official streaming platforms when watching football online. BT Sport, Sky Sports & Eurosport.TV are just a few examples of official sports streams websites that football fans can use.

Arteta Pleased With Arsenal Preparations

LONDON: Mikel Arteta was satisfied with Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Lyon in the Emirates Cup which closed the Premier League club’s pre-season training.

The Gunners beat the French club thanks to goals from William Saliba and Gabriel in the final pre-season game, after the tour of the United States.

Arsenal will face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the opening action of the English Premier League, this Saturday.

Asked if the Gunners were ready to start the season on a high note, Arteta said: “It seems that way to me. The way we started the game was for sure. Just need to keep it up for 90 minutes.

“That is the target and goal we have to set. There are many positive aspects that can be taken from this match.”

The operator from Spain is also satisfied with his team’s preparations ahead of the new league season.

“I think overall it’s been a positive pre-season. It’s been a success, and then two very competitive games here (Emirates).

“The team was incredible, especially in the first half, we played at the highest level. We kept it up and then slipped a bit in the second half,” Arteta said.
