NICE, France (AP) — Italy rebounded from a 10-point halftime deficit to blow away Uruguay 38-17 on Wednesday and set up a potentially decisive clash against New Zealand at the Rugby World Cup.All the talk about Pool A has been about New Zealand and France, but Italy has dispatched Namibia and Uruguay with bonus points and has a chance to send home the All Blacks — whom Italy has never beaten — when they meet next week.“We could not have asked for more,” Italy winger Monty Ioane said. “The boys are confident, we’re ready to take on anyone. The next two are the biggies. It’s an awesome opportunity to go against the best teams in the world. But we are not worried at all as long as we just focus on ourselves.“The All Blacks have a crazy attacking style, but we have just got to be prepared with our defense. In return, we have a crazy attacking system as well. It’s just who turns up on the day.”In the first half against Uruguay, Italy didn’t look like it could tie the All Blac...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:41:56 GMT

SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain (AP) — Lautaro Martínez’s scoring streak continued as he helped Inter Milan snatch a 1-1 draw at Real Sociedad on Wednesday and prevent what would have been a dream return to the Champions League for the Spanish side.Brais Méndez’s early goal looked set to see Sociedad mark its first match back among Europe’s elite in a decade with an impressive win over last season’s runner-up.And the 36,000 Sociedad fans in the stands were reveling in the occasion as their team played with relentless intensity, excitement and eagerness to dominate its more illustrious opponent. But in the end it was made to pay for its profligacy as Martínez pounced with three minutes remaining, netting his sixth goal of the fledgling season.“I’m not satisfied because we did not play well, we didn’t do what we had planned,” Martínez told Amazon Prime. “We started the first half badly, we were in a lot of difficulties so we have to improve a lot.“It was important not to lose because the group w...

ANÁLISIS | La contraofensiva de Ucrania puede ser dolorosa. Pero su éxito es vital para la seguridad europea

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:41:56 GMT

(CNN) —  En los sótanos de Orikhiv, las tropas ucranianas no se mueven de los muros. Aunque están bajo tierra, las potentes bombas rusas que caen a diario podrían derrumbar todo lo que hay sobre ellos, por lo que los bordes de su mundo subterráneo son más seguros.Piensa en este riesgo, y en los hombres y mujeres que lo soportan cada noche, cuando oigas hablar de los avances de la contraofensiva ucraniana. Es lenta, peligrosa, sangrienta y más dura de lo que nadie esperaba. Pero no nos equivoquemos: quizá sea el momento más importante para la seguridad europea desde la caída del Muro de Berlín, o incluso desde 1945.Las fuerzas ucranianas no están ni de lejos donde esperaban estar a medida que se acerca el otoño boreal. Los meses de verano en torno a Robotyne, al sur de Orikhiv, y al norte de Mariúpol, han estado marcados por un espantoso arrastrarse sobre hectáreas de campos minados, con las tropas luchando durante semanas por minúsculos asentamientos que pueden contarse en cal...
