Giancarlo Gonzalez says Costa Rica s exploits at the 2014 World Cup are ancient history as he and his team-mates seek to write a new chapter in Russia.
Bologna defender Gonzalez was part of the squad that exceeded almost all expectations in reaching the last eight in Brazil, before losing out to Netherlands on penalties.
Four years on, Costa Rica begin their 2018 campaign against Serbia in the opening Group E game in Samara on Sunday.
Although those achievements of 2014 will live long in the memory, Gonzalez says now is not the time for misty-eyed nostalgia.
That s ancient history and it s time for a new page for Costa Rica, he told a media conference on Saturday.
We ve waited on this moment for a long time and we need to implement what we ve p…
Spain s Euro 2008 triumph changed the story for the nation, according to Fernando Torres.
Torres was a key member of Luis Aragones side that prevailed in Austria and Switzerland a decade ago, the striker scoring the only goal of the final against Germany in Vienna.
La Roja built on their success to become a dominant force, winning the 2010 World Cup on South African soil before going on to defend their European crown two years later.
However, they had to patiently wait for success, with their only other major title in international football coming at the 1964 European Championship.
Luis and that group of players changed the story. I was lucky to be part of it and I am very proud, Torres told Marca on the 10th anniversary of Spain s victory.

The touchdown market has become one of the most popular and potentially profitable props in the NFL betting world. Each week, we’re going to throw down three to four units as we try to uncover some of the best weekly NFL TD props and dig into the matchups that surround them.
It’s the Turkey leftover addition of the TD prop train. We had our eighth profitable go at it last week, and are looking at a couple of longshot TEs as well as a hopeful early-down RB and de facto No. 1 receiver in Week 12.
Without further ado:

The Eagles and Dolphins impressed in Week 3 while some of the top dogs are slipping heading into Week 4. Can Tampa figure it out offensively under Todd Bowles? Are the Dolphins and Eagles contenders? Is Jacksonville ready to make the jump to a playoff team? Here are my NFL power rankings after three weeks of the 2022 NFL season.
In games on a neutral field, every higher-ranked team would be favored or, at least, a pick ’em on the moneyline in this format. For two teams ranked closely together, the difference in the spread would be a home-field advantage (if any), which varies slightly from team to team.

With the increased popularity of betting touchdown props, it’s a little harder these days for bettors to find value in the market. However, because of price discrepancies across books, having multiple outs is the best way to be profitable with Week 3 NFL props.
Each week I’ll find my three best touchdown props for the Sunday slate. They might not be high-win probable plays, but if they aren’t, they’ll certainly be +EV. I’m up 8.7 units over two weeks and swept the NFL odds board last week.
When it comes to Week 3 odds, I’m looking at a trio of backs that all have great opportunities on Sunday for different reasons.
Here are my NFL picks for Week 3’s anytime touchdown market.

As we approach the quarter pole of the NFL regular season the Cincinnati Bengals and Jacksonville Jaguars enter tonight’s MNF match trending in opposite directions. The Bengals are without Joe Burrow and barring a miraculous transformation of Jake Browning into a legit NFL QB, they’ll miss the playoffs altogether. On the other sideline, the Jaguars have won two straight and are in the driver’s seat for the AFC South crown.
Can the Jags hold serve at home, or will the Bengals play spoiler?
While there are a number of different subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to watch this game… did you know that you can also live stream Bengals/Jaguars directly from legal sports betting sites?

Last year’s participants are the early favorites to clash yet again, and we think we know who’s headlining the Super Bowl halftime show, but we’ve got a handful of early Big Game-related bets to make now — and check back as we’ll be adding more throughout the roller coaster that is an NFL season.

The NFL MVP odds board has an owner, and that’s Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs’ QB will hold the top spot as his team — fresh off the bye — heads to the Bay Area to take on the San Francisco 49ers.
Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson remain in the Top 3, while NFL odds for Sam Darnold and Jayden Daniels continue to shorten.
