The 2020 Copa America has been postponed until 2021, CONMEBOL has confirmed.
Argentina and Colombia had been due to stage the tournament this year, but South American football s governing body has opted to delay by 12 months in light of the coronavirus pandemic.
The new dates for the 2021 Copa America are June 11 to July 11.
It means CONMEBOL taking parallel steps to UEFA, which postponed Euro 2020 until 2021 on Tuesday – a decision the two federations acknowledged had been taken in co-ordination with one another.
A statement issued by CONMEBOL read: After a detailed analysis of the situation regarding the world and regional evolution of the coronavirus (COVID-19), and of the recommendations made by international organisations in the field of public hea…

Netherlands striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has already put the disappointment of Euro 2012 behind him.
The Dutch crashed out at the first hurdle after losing all three of their Group B games in Poland and Ukraine, after the side had been touted as a potential winner.
Bert van Marwijk has since been replaced by Louis van Gaal as the national team coach, and the Schalke forward has urged his side to look forward and not back.
We did not play well together and were already eliminated after the group stages, Huntelaar told Voetbal International.
That was a big disappointment, especially since everyone was expecting so much from us; I was too. During my holiday I quickly closed the book on the European Championship. To me, it is now behind us.

Market: West Ham win
Odds: 10/11 @
Looking to extend on what has been a stunning run of form, West Ham will make the trip to the Luminus Arena when they face off against Genk on Thursday evening.
Starting with the hosts, last seen over the weekend picking up what was a remarkable 6-2 win away at Waregem on domestic duties, Genk has suddenly found themselves enjoying a much-welcomed boost over the past week. However, while the Belgium outfit might have recorded a staggering 12 goals in their back-to-back victories across all formats, that doesn t cover what has been an inconsistent run of form since opening October. Suffering five straight defeats last month and watching Head Coach John van den Brom come under real scrutiny, Genk have also managed to land just a …
Raheem Sterling became the most expensive English footballer on this day in 2015 after completing his £49million move from Liverpool to Manchester City.
The 20-year-old England forward, who was assigned the number seven shirt, was also City’s record signing.
City’s interest in Sterling had been an open secret for some time, but Liverpool were desperate to retain his services.
However, they were fighting a losing battle from the moment Sterling told manager Brendan Rodgers he wanted to leave following his return for pre-season training and requested not to be included in the party for the club’s pre-season trip to Australia and the far east.
Liverpool rejected a series of offers from City as they held out for their £50m valuation of their prize ass…

The Cleveland Browns will try to ride the momentum from their Hall of Fame Game win over the New York Jets when they host the Washington Commanders for a preseason clash tonight.
Washington is coming off of a middling 8-8-1 season, but is heading into a new era under owner Josh Harris, who bought the team from Daniel Snyder during the offseason. The Browns finished 7-10 last season, and beat the Jets 21-16 last week in Canton.
DeShaun Watson should get his first looks for Cleveland this season, while Sam Howell will get the start for Washington as he angles for the same role heading into the regular season. We’ll take a closer look at how these quarterback situations could impact Friday’s game in our free NFL picks and predictions for Commanders vs…
It’s the midway point of the NFL season which gives us plenty of data points to accurately project sack and tackle numbers for defensive players.
It’s been obvious for years that Rashawn Slater and Lane Johnson are two of the toughest offensive linemen in the game to beat, which is why I’m fading their opponents on the sack props market.
I’m also digging into the NFL odds for tackles and backing a pair of linebackers who’ve been filling up the stat sheet for their respective teams. Here are my favorite sack and tackle NFL picks for Week 9 odds.
