Real Madrid star Rodrygo has made his feelings crystal clear regarding the composition of the Brazil squad for the 2026 World Cup, sending a direct message to manager Carlo Ancelotti. As the Selecao continues its transition under the Italian tactician, questions have consistently circled around the role of Neymar. However, for Rodrygo, the veteran playmaker remains an indispensable figure if the South American giants are to reclaim their throne on the global stage. Rodrygo believes in a potential sixth world title for Brazil Speaking during an appearance on the program Um Dia Com... on CazeTV, Rodrygo offered a passionate defence of his idol, and highlighting the symbolic and emotional weight of the former Barcelona superstar. The young forward, who has become an essential pillar for both club and country, believes that a potential sixth world title for Brazil would feel incomplete without the presence of the legendary number 10. Despite modern tactical shifts, the Real Madrid ace insists the squad's hierarchy should still be built around the brilliance of their all-time leading goalscorer. Win would not have same grace without Neymar The 2026 cycle represents what is likely the final chance for Neymar to achieve World Cup glory, but his path has been fraught with physical setbacks. Currently 34, the attacker has been battling his way back from a major knee operation, a process that has forced him to miss significant game time. Rodrygos comments serve as a reminder to the technical staff that the dressing room still views Neymar as the leader and the creative heartbeat of the national side. Rodrygo was asked about the necessity of Neymar for the upcoming tournament in North America, and he did not hold back in his assessment. "It's logical. For me, in my opinion, there's not even a discussion. But we know, of course, he needs to be well, he has to be preparing, he is returning from knee surgery. It won't have the same grace to win without him, so we need him," stated the 25-year-old winger. Fitness remains the key hurdle While the sentiment is strong, the reality of Neymar's fitness remains a hurdle that Carlo Ancelotti must navigate. The superstar recently showed flashes of his vintage self, netting twice in a 2-1 victory over Vasco, a performance that sparked relief and excitement among the Brazilian fans. However, maintaining that level of intensity in a high-pressure World Cup environment is a different challenge altogether, and Ancelotti will be the one tasked with making the final call on the veteran's inclusion. The relationship between Rodrygo and Ancelotti could be a decisive factor in these negotiations. Having worked closely together at the Santiago Bernabeu, the two share a unique bond of trust and tactical understanding. Rodrygos public lobbying for Neymar is more than just a teammates support; it is a strategic nudge to his club manager to ensure that Brazils greatest individual talent is given every opportunity to lead the line in 2026. Generational link between past and future Rodrygos stance is particularly significant given his own rising status. At 25, he has consolidated his place as one of the best in the world, yet he remains humble enough to champion the legacy of the man who wore the number 10 before him. By bridging the gap between the established stars and the emerging talent, Rodrygo is helping to foster a sense of unity that has often been missing in previous Brazilian campaigns. The decision ultimately rests with Ancelotti, who must balance the romanticism of Neymars return with the clinical requirements of a modern international tournament. With the World Cup approaching, the pressure is mounting on the Italian to deliver a winning formula.

The last time Florida basketball was ranked in the top five of the AP Top 25 Poll was in the preseason rankings back in mid-October, when it began its national title defense at No. 3. It took 17 weeks, but the Gators are now back among the elite as the schedule winds down. After running off nine straight victories, the Orange and Blue are now ranked fifth in the Associated Press's latest poll. Just ahead of them are the No. 4 UConn Huskies, who beat Florida by four at Madison Square Garden in early December, and behind are the No. 6 Iowa State Cyclones. The USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll also agrees, putting Todd Golden's team at No. 5 in its latest rankings. The Gators have already clinched at least a share of the regular-season SEC title for the first time since 2014 and are showing no signs of slowing with just two games left before the conference tournament begins. SEC schools in AP Top 25 after Week 17The Southeastern Conference maintained its five-school count this week in the poll, with Florida headlining the league at No. 5. The Alabama Crimson Tide moved up a spot to No. 16, while the Arkansas Razorbacks saw no change in its No. 20 ranking; the Tennessee Volunteers fell a spot to No. 23 and the Vanderbilt Commodores moved up one to No. 24.

The WNBA sent a new CBA proposal to the players' union Sunday night that includes allowing some of its young stars like Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers a chance to earn a maximum salary quicker, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press.The person spoke on condition of anonymity on Monday because of the sensitive nature of negotiations.The new offer, which came two days after the latest proposal from the union, would allow players on rookie contracts who were first or second team all-league to become eligible to sign a maximum contract in their fourth year and would not be eligible for a franchise tag designation following that extension.For example, Clark would be eligible for a maximum contract in 2027, Bueckers in 2028. Aliyah Boston would be eligible this year.The salary cap in the first year would be $5.75 million up 280% from last years $1.5 million. That would grow to $8.5 million by the sixth year of the deal. The deal would result in maximum salaries increasing by more than $1 million from $249,000 to $1.3 million and average salaries increasing from $120,000 to $540,000 in the first year.The league didn't make changes in its revenue sharing model from its previous offer. The WNBA has proposed giving players more than 70% of net revenue with that number going up as the league continues to grow. The union in its offer earlier this week asked for an average of 26% of the gross revenue revenue before expenses over the course of the CBA. That would include only 25% in the first year of the new deal. The league has said that number is unrealistic.Kelsey Plum, who is a vice president of the union, said Monday while preparing for the Unrivaled semifinals that getting the league to agree to a revenue sharing system for the first time is something we fought really hard for, and a significant win. The WNBPA can continue to negotiate the expense credits the league would get.Ive always been someone thats focused on the gain, not the gap. Plum said. And to be honest, I think if you look at where weve come from, shoot, since I came into the league until now, and now that were in a revenue share, its a tremendous win.Obviously, were going to continue to negotiate. I cant emphasize that enough. Like were not just settling. I want to be very clear about that. But Im super proud to be a part of this opportunity to change womens sports.Breanna Stewart, who was the first to say that the league had sent a new offer, agreed with Plum.I think that while we still are fighting for a lot of different things, we have to realize that the rev share is a win, especially just even coming from the 2020 CBA and the ones before that, said Stewart, who is also a vice president of the union. "I dont think a strike is good for anyone, because as the league loses money, or if we have a delay, we also lose money. Thats not just me as a player. Thats me thinking as, like an overall business person. Nobody wants to lose money, so how can we try to prevent that in all ways possible?For the first time, the league is giving $8 million from revenue sharing to the players from last season as the league generated enough to trigger it for the first time in its history. There's also $8 million going to player marketing from the money made last season.The two sides still differ on housing. The league had offered that its teams would pay for all housing this season. Then franchises would pay for housing for players on minimum salary contracts as well as rookies in their first season, the person said. Theyd also pay for the housing of the two developmental players that teams would be allowed to have.The union in its last offer asked teams to provide housing for all players in the first few years of the deal, but in the latter part of the CBA teams wouldnt have to provide housing for players making at least 75% of the maximum salary.The WNBA had told the players union that it needs to get a deal in place by March 10 to start the season on time at a virtual collective bargaining agreement negotiating session a week ago, a different person familiar with the discussions told The Associated Press.That person also spoke spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of negotiations.If a labor deal is agreed to by March 10, it probably would be signed by the end of the month. Under that timeline, the expansion draft for new franchises in Portland and Toronto would be held sometime between April 1 and 6, according to a timetable obtained by the AP.Free agent qualifying offers, including franchise player tags, would be sent out April 7 and 8. Teams would then have three days to negotiate with the more than 80% of players who are free agents. The signing period would take place from April 12-18.Training camps would open the next day and the season would be able to start on May 8.I think both sides are in agreement that we want to have a season, we don't want to have a strike necessarily, Bueckers said at Unrivaled shootaround. There are certain things we want to stand firm on. ... We need to continue to have these conversations. We need to have change implemented to move on our stance."___AP WNBA: https://apnews.com/hub/wnba-basketball
