Liverpool forward Fernando Torres scored a brace as world champions Spain began their European title defence with a convincing 4-0 win over Liechtenstein on Friday in their opening Group I qualifier for the Euro 2012 finals.
It was Spain s first competitive match since lifting the World Cup in South Africa on July 11 and the Euro 2008 winners were far too strong for hapless Liechtenstein.
After failing to score at the World Cup finals, Torres rediscovered his goalscoring touch on 18 minutes with a beautiful chip to open the scoring before new Barcelona man David Villa thundered in a shot from outside the box on 54 minutes.
Villa, top-scorer at the World Cup with five goals, now has 43 goals in 66 internationals, just one goal from equalling the all-time national…
Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has insisted Hugo Lloris is not for sale, .
The France international was strongly linked with a move to Manchester United last summer, and is once again likely to be the subject of interest when the transfer window reopens.
However his boss has gone on record to state his importance to the North London club, who are being spoke of as one of a number of title challengers this season having not lost since the opening day of the Premier League campaign.
Lloris moved to White Hart Lane from Lyon in the summer of 2012, and has since racked up one hundred and forty-one outings in all competitions while his appearance against England at Wembley last month was his seventy-third for his country.

Radamel Falcao wants to extend his contract at Monaco after a redemptive season with the Ligue 1 leaders.
Colombia striker Falcao endured two years ruined by form and fitness struggles in the Premier League, first at Manchester United in 2014-15 before joining Chelsea.
But back in a vibrant, youthful Monaco side the 31-year-old has flourished with 19 goals in as many top-flight starts this term, while also helping Leonardo Jardim s team into the semi-finals of the Champions League with five strikes in the competition.
Juventus visit the Stade Louis II on Wednesday and Falcao is keen to prolong his stay in the principality, with one year left to run on his deal after this campaign.
Of course I would like to [extend my contract], he told L Equipe. I fee…
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will deal with Cristiano Ronaldo on Thursday, but kept his immediate post-match focus on what he felt was his side s most complete performance under his watch in their 2-0 victory against Tottenham.
United were terrific in front of their home fans, racking up 28 shots to Tottenham s nine, with goals coming from Fred in the 47th minute and Bruno Fernandes in the 69th. Their defence was also impressively stout, allowing Tottenham to only accumulate 0.48 expected goals.
In the final minutes, with United defending their lead, Cristiano Ronaldo stole the headlines by making his way down the tunnel early, clearly unhappy about his lack of involvement as an unused substitute.
Speaking to Amazon Prime after the contest, Ten Hag said…
Celtic manager Neil Lennon and two high-profile fans of the club have had parcel bombs sent to them, according to Scottish police.
The packages addressed to Lennon, Scottish Labour politician Trish Godman and lawyer Paul McBride, were discovered in post offices across west Scotland, and were initially believed to be hoaxes.
However, police announced on Tuesday that they were launching an investigation after discovering the devices were a serious threat.
They were viable devices designed to cause harm, a police spokesman said. We are treating the matter very seriously.
Police have already stated they do not believe the bombs were linked to terrorist groups.
It is not the first time that Lennon has received sectarian threats during his playing an…
Aston Villa defender Alan Hutton has signed a new three-year contract, capping a remarkable turnaround in his fortunes at the club.
The Scotland international has endured a difficult time at Villa Park in recent seasons and, until the beginning of the new Premier League campaign, had not featured for the club since May 2012.
Hutton, who moved to the club in August 2011, was even told by manager Paul Lambert earlier this year that it was unlikely he would ever play for Villa again.
Like everybody else here, I ve always trained hard so I ve been able to come back strong this season and the benefits of that have been excellent for me, the 29-year-old told the club s official website.
I kept my head down, worked hard, came in every day and it s paid off. No…
Jaap Stam has been appointed manager of Championship club Reading, becoming the first overseas boss in the Royals history.
The former Manchester United, Milan and Lazio defender will take on his first managerial role after leaving his position as coach at Ajax, where he ended his playing career.
Stam, 43, succeeds Brian McDermott after his second spell at the helm ended following a 17th-placed finish in 2015-16.
A winner of major honours in three countries, ex-Netherlands international Stam has penned a two-year deal at the Madejski Stadium.
I was looking for a team that wanted to achieve something, he told Reading s official website.
You always need to have ambition. As a player I wanted to achieve the most of everything and get as high a…
Fabian Schar was Newcastle United s surprise hero as his double earned a 3-0 home win over Cardiff City and moved Rafael Benitez s men out of the Premier League bottom three.
Defender Schar, in the team as Rafael Benitez s only change from last week s loss to Chelsea, had not scored since November 2017 while playing for Deportivo La Coruna, but produced a crucial double on Saturday.
He netted in both halves and Ayoze Perez put the icing on the cake in stoppage-time, meaning Newcastle move back out of the drop zone after dropping into it last weekend.
They are replaced in the relegation places by a poor Cardiff side who did not even register a shot on target until the 72nd minute.
at the double!

In what is a heavyweight showdown at the top of the Serie A standings, Palmeiras will welcome Flamengo to the Allianz Parque in the early hours of Sunday.
Palmeiras
Starting with the hosts, while Palmerias might have opened the 2023 campaign with their sights set on defending their Serie A crown, Abel Ferreira’s men are some way off the pace. Although the Brazilian giants might have signed off June with a thumping 4-0 victory against Bolivar in Copa Libertadores action, it appears that might have just been a minor boost for the Big Green. Last seen putting in another downbeat display earlier in the week as they slumped to a 1-0 defeat away at Sao Paulo, the former Braga boss has seen his squad won just one of their last five appeara…
