SPORTS.YAHOO.COMFIFA President Defends High World Cup Prices With College Football ComparisonFIFA president Gianni Infantino is justifying World Cup ticket prices by claiming theyre cheaper than what it costs to see a college football game.Speaking at the Milken Institute Global Conference on Tuesday, Infantino said that 25% of group stage match tickets cost less than $300.You cannot go to watch in the U.S. a college game, not even speaking about a top professional game of a certain level, for less than $300, Infantino said. And this is the World Cup.A FIFA spokesperson tells Front Office Sports Infantino was referring to college football, not soccer, specifically the playoffs and championship games.College football tickets in the U.S. are widely available below the $300 mark, even in the postseason. Last season, resale tickets to first-round and quarterfinal games cost less than $300. One day before the Cotton Bowl, the get-in price was $28.The College Football Championship was more expensive. Resale tickets for the title game eclipsed $3,000.FIFA has been blasted for its high prices throughout the World Cup sales phase, which started last fall. While FIFA did respond to backlash with a supporters tier at $60, most tickets for fans in the U.S. cost hundreds or thousands of dollars. Tickets to the final in New Jersey on July 19 crossed $10,000 in early April.Infantino in his remarks also stressed that FIFA is a nonprofit, and the World Cup funds all other FIFA activities globally for the next four years.We are in a market in which entertainment is the most developed in the world. So we have to apply market rates, Infantino said. In the U.S., it is permitted to resell tickets as well. So if you were to sell tickets at the price which is too low, these tickets would be resold at a much higher price.Infantino addressed the high prices for resale tickets on FIFAs official platform, stressing that his organization does not control those prices. FIFA takes a 15% cut from both the buyer and seller of any transaction on the platform.If some people put on a secondary, on the resale market some tickets for the final at $2 million, number one, it doesnt mean that the tickets cost $2 million, number two, it doesnt mean that somebody will buy these tickets, Infantino said. Actually, if somebody buys a ticket for the final for $2 million, I will personally bring him a hot dog and a Coke to make sure that he has a great experience.The post FIFA President Defends High World Cup Prices With College Football Comparison appeared first on Front Office Sports.0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 49 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

WWW.FOXSPORTS.COMPSG Eliminates Bayern Munich, Will Face Arsenal In Champions League FinalDefending champion Paris Saint-Germain eliminated Bayern Munich to set up the Champions League final against Arsenal. Ousmane Dembl scored early and Paris Saint-Germain eliminated Bayern Munich with a 1-1 draw to reach the Champions League final again on Wednesday. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia raced clear after playing a simple one-two with Fabin Ruiz in midfield, then picked out the unmarked Dembl to sweep the ball in under the crossbar in the third minute of the semifinal second leg. By the time Harry Kane equalized in stoppage time it was too late to keep alive Bayerns dream of a Bundesliga, German Cup and Champions League treble. The draw gave PSG, the defending champion, a 6-5 win on aggregate after edging their encounter 5-4 in the first leg in Paris last week. The French league leader will face Arsenal in the final in Budapest, Hungary, on May 30, after the Gunners defeated Atltico Madrid 1-0 on Tuesday to progress 2-1 on aggregate. "Its magnificent, two finals," PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said. "Now we will go there and try to fetch a second star. I said to the players we are warriors." PSGs defense breached four times in Paris last week kept Bayerns much vaunted attack of Kane, Luis Daz and Micheal Olise largely in check. "We know how to suffer and were ready for what we have to face," PSG midfielder Joo Neves said. "Were very proud of how far weve come." By the time Kane let fly for his 55th goal across all competitions, including the German Supercup for Bayern this season, PSGs substitutes were already lining up to celebrate. Real Madrid was the last team to achieve back-to-back titles. "Shoot us into the final," the Bayern fans had urged their team with a huge choreography as the combatants emerged on the field. Bayern only needed one goal to level the tie, but it soon turned to two after Fabin sent Kvaratskhelia on his way. If the Georgia star was surprised by how much space he was offered by the absent defense, he didnt stop to question it. Desir Dou was another option queuing beside Dembl to take a shot with Luis Daz the closest Bayern player back. Bayerns players complained the already-booked Nuno Mendes should have been booked again when the ball hit his arm in the first half, but referee Joo Pinheiro blew instead for a handball from Konrad Laimer. There were more protests shortly afterward when Vitinha struck teammate Joo Neves arm with the ball in the penalty area with a clearance. While Bayern dominated possession, PSG was more efficient, with Dou and Kvaratskhelia keeping Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer alert after the break. PSG already had good memories of Munich. The city was the scene of PSGs triumph in the final last season when it demolished Inter Milan 5-0 to fulfill its Qatari owners quest to become European champion for the first time. A relatively unchanged team is well-placed to deliver the second title. Reporting by The Associated Press.0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 31 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen -

WWW.CBSSPORTS.COMCubs lefty Matthew Boyd hurts knee playing with his kids in latest hit to injury-plagued pitching staffA deep Chicago rotation is slowly thinning out0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 46 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen -
SPORTS.YAHOO.COMCubs' Matthew Boyd reportedly tears meniscus 'sitting down to play with his kids'Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Matthew Boyd is set to miss the foreseeable future due to a freak injury. Boyd, 35, needs meniscus surgery on his knee, per ESPNs Jesse Rogers, and reportedly suffered the injury while sitting down to play with his kids. There is currently no timetable for Boyds return; the assumption is that if he is able to return this season, it would be after the All-Star break. Boyd has started five games this season, working to a 2-1 record with a 6.00 ERA. He last pitched on May 3, earning his second win after six strong innings of two-run ball against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Boyd walked one and struck out five in the victory. The Cubs are currently 24-12, atop the NL Central, but the injuries are mounting. Starter Justin Steele suffered a setback at the end of April with his elbow injury and is now not expected back until after the All-Star break. As of May 6, Chicago has 10 pitchers in its organization listed on the injured list, with Boyd soon to be the 11th. Boyd, who suffered the injury while sitting down to play with his children, is the latest freak accident that has caused a player to hit the IL.Here's a limited sampling of freak accidents to baseball players over the past decade and a half:slicing a thumb on a knife washing the dishesbreaking an elbow by getting startled by a bullhurting a finger while putting on pantsbreaking a nose because a barbell fell on itbreaking a finger while playing a video gamecutting a thumb after holding a wine glass too stronglyfracturing an ankle after falling off a horsebreaking a rib during a massagefracturing a hand while taking a shirt offcutting a pinky while repairing a dronespraining a shoulder in a dirt bike accidentcutting a hand with a knife while trying to separate frozen hamburger pattiesbreaking a hand when a suitcase fell on itcutting a thumb while slicing a sandwich into "fancy triangles"dislocating a shoulder while celebrating a World Series home runinfection from a leg tattoodropping a piano bench on his big toestraining his hand trying to hold a case of water at TargetKnowing baseball, there will certainly be more down the line.Yahoo Sports Jack Baer contributed to this article0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 46 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

WWW.FOXSPORTS.COMReal Madrids Valverde, Tchouamni Involved In Altercation During TrainingReal Madrid's season has taken another disastrous turn after Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouamni were reportedly involved in a violent altercation during training. The two midfielders had to be separated as tensions boiled over, highlighting the growing fractures within a divided dressing room right before a crucial Clasico clash where Barcelona can win the league. Training ground chaos at Valdebebas According to MARCA, the atmosphere at Real Madrid has reached a critical breaking point. Valverde and Tchouamni nearly came to blows following a fierce argument that perfectly illustrates the internal decay currently plaguing the squad. The incident began with a routine challenge during a training drill, but a foul sparked one of the most aggressive confrontations witnessed at the clubs training ground. The players squared up to each other, exchanged shoves, and continued their verbal battle in the dressing room. This unpleasant episode quickly became the talk of Valdebebas, leaving staff and teammates stunned by the anger on display. Growing divisions in a frustrated squad This latest bust-up is a symptom of a squad that is increasingly divided. Madrid finds itself in a delicate position, sitting second in the Liga table with 77 points after 34 matches. They trail league leaders Barcelona, who have 88 points, by an insurmountable 11-point gap. The lack of competitive stakes appears to have allowed long-standing frustrations to bubble over. Relationships between several key figures have deteriorated drastically, with certain players no longer on speaking terms. Emotional fatigue has created a toxic environment where even simple training sessions turn volatile, and the coaching staff face an uphill battle. Arbeloa disconnect and recent dressing room spats The rift within the squad reportedly extends beyond the players, as the relationship with Alvaro Arbeloa has become increasingly strained. Reports suggest up to six players are currently not speaking to him. Furthermore, another conflict surfaced earlier this week involving Antonio Rudiger and Alvaro Carreras. Although the Spanish defender attempted to downplay the situation publicly, stating: "The incident with a teammate is a one-off, without relevance and it is settled," the reality behind closed doors tells a different story. The cumulative effect of these spats suggests a squad that is completely fraying at the edges. Clsico looms as the season reaches its breaking point The timing of this row could not be worse as Madrid prepare for Sundays Clsico. Defeat would be the ultimate insult, as Barcelona need just one point to officially crown themselves champions. Unless the squad can unite overnight, these internal fractures threaten to completely derail whatever pride remains in this miserable campaign.0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 43 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen -
