Spain goalkeeper David de Gea declared the reigning world champions are still the best in the world ahead of the FIFA World Cup.
Although Spain lost last year s FIFA Confederations Cup final 3-0 to Brazil, Vicente del Bosque s time remain top of the world rankings ahead of the upcoming World Cup finals.
Spain have not relinquished the top ranking since winning the 2010 World Cup final in South Africa and De Gea, who is one of three goalkeepers in Del Bosque s squad, believes they deserve to be on top of FIFA s standings.
This team is the best in the world and hopefully we can win the title, the 23-year-old told reporters on Monday.
I m happy to be here. In the Under-21s I played good football for several years, trying to play the same game as the best and with so…
Andre Villas-Boas is optimistic that Zenit can overturn their 1-0 first-leg deficit against Benfica and reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time in their history.
This season is the third time in five years that the Russian champions have reached the knockout stages, but their previous visits have ended in disappointment, including when they were beaten by Benfica over two legs in 2012.
This is the first time the Portuguese title holders have reached the knockout stages since that season, when they went on to be beaten by eventual winners Chelsea in the last eight.
The first leg of this tie saw Benfica claim the advantage in a dramatic finish, with Jonas netting in the last minute and Domenico Criscito receiving a red card in a game t…
Sevilla have confirmed the signing of Denmark international Simon Kjaer from Fenerbahce for €12.5million.
The centre-back has signed a four-year deal and is likely to be the replacement for Adil Rami after the France defender was sold to Marseille last month.
The 28-year-old joined Fenerbahce from Lille in June 2015 and made 55 Super Lig appearances over his two seasons in Istanbul.
Kjaer is the seventh major signing Sevilla have made in the transfer window, with Nolito, Jesus Navas, Luis Muriel, Sebastian Corchia, Guido Pizarro and Ever Banega having already joined Eduardo Berizzo s squad.
Kjaer was linked with a move to Premier League side Chelsea in January, with Fener issuing a statement denying the rumours and insisting the defender was happy …

He is una…
Erik ten Hag says he does not care about speculation regarding his future as Manchester United manager.
A promising first season saw Carabao Cup glory followed by finishing third in the Premier League and runners-up in the FA Cup, but things have gone off track this term.
United face a fight for Champions League qualification as the campaign enters the final straight, with the stunning 4-3 FA Cup quarter-final extra-time win against rivals Liverpool breathing new life into the team.
A Wembley semi against Coventry is the reward but that result did not stop talk about Ten Hag’s future during the international break as ambitious Ineos consider their options.
England boss Gareth Southgate was linked to the United job but said such talk was “completely di…
Legia Warsaw will appeal against their UEFA Champions League disqualification, according to head coach Henning Berg.
UEFA expelled the Polish champions from the competition after the ineligible Bartosz Bereszynski appeared in the 2-0 second leg victory over Celtic on Wednesday in the third qualifying round.
That decision meant Celtic, who were beaten 6-1 on aggregate against Legia, were awarded a 3-0 default victory and will now face Slovenian side Maribor in the play-offs.
But former Rangers defender Berg has slammed UEFA s decision and promised to challenge the judgement.
We will appeal this, definitely. We will go as high as we can because we do not think this is the right decision, Berg told Sky Sports.
We are absolutely shocked at this deci…

In the latest Metal Gear – Production Hotline, Konami provided a few new details on Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. The development team showcased the trailer from the Xbox Games Showcase while reiterating new features like updated battle damage and the different control styles.
However, it also showcased the Camouflage menu, which has received some updates. The score of each camouflage option is listed, but their descriptions now have a dedicated description box under Snake. Players can also hit L1/LB and R1/RB to switch between Uniform and Face camouflage rather than backing out of either menu to select the other. Of course, there’s also a model viewer for examining Snake’s injuries and camouflage in closer detail.

The PlayStation Portal has been a big success for Sony since its launch roughly a year ago – certainly a bigger success than even Sony itself was expecting – but the device has, nonetheless, also been on the receiving end of some rather fair criticism. One factor in particular that has invited backlash is its lack of cloud streaming capabilities, something you would assume would be a staple in a device such as this. It turns out, however, that Sony is finally in the process of rolling out that feature- bit by bit.
The company has announced that it has pushed a new system update for the PlayStation Portal that, along with making adjustments related to PlayStation Link and speaker audio volume, also finally adds cloud streaming capabilities, which means players can str…
