Croatia // July 2017: Part One (Split & Trogir)
After spending some time in Bosnia, we continued our two-week trip by making our way to Croatia. Having been a couple times before, we were anxious to get back the beautiful country. From Mostar, we took a bus to our first desintation—Split. While in Split, we wandered around the old town, enjoyed some time by the sea, and took a day trip out to Trogir. Next up on our journey, the island of Hvar!

Manchester United vs Huddersfield, 2-0, Premier League, 03.02.2018
Manchester United vs Huddersfield 3rd January 2018 Old Trafford Full Time: 2-0 On an afternoon charged with emotion, it eventually fell to Romelu Lukaku and home debutant Alexis Sanchez to finally unpick a resolute, and, at times, robust Huddersfield defense to narrow the gap slightly at the top. Before kick-off, a minute silence was held for the 23 victims of the Munich Air Disaster, of which the 60th anniversary takes place this coming Tuesday, February 6th, 2018. Having started calamitously against Spurs just three days before, the Reds were anxious to avoid making similar mistakes as the Yorkshire side dug in to absorb the early pressure. Only the outstanding, hard-working Sanchez with a stinging low drive and Jesse Lingard with a weaker effort, caused any initial concern, although Scott McTominay - selected ahead of the dropped Paul Pogba- was flattened as he challenged for a cross and denied the penalty he deserved. Jose Mourinho's halftime talk seemed to spring the side to life and the subdued Lukaku was sharp and decisive, turning home an excellent cross from the hard-working Juan Mata. Not long after, Sanchez was brought down just inside the box and was given the opportunity to secure his first United goal in front of the Stretford End. He had missed three out of the last six spot-kicks he had taken for Arsenal and failed with this one too, although he had the good fortune to force the ball home after his initial shot was saved. Rashford, Martial, and a more relaxed Pogba were all brought on as the manager rang the changes and it was a shame to see other openings squandered before the visitors finally came out of their shell in the closing minutes, but to no avail. So the lead is down to 13 points with City drawing at Burnley - still a very tall order to claw back. Overall though, it was an improved performance in which Shaw, Mata Valencia, and Pogba were back in the groove, and hopefully, the Tottenham fade-out is well behind them now. Commentary by Lew Fink
Bayern Munich face anxious wait to learn the fate of Franck Ribery after winger suffers knee
Bayern Munich face anxious wait to learn the fate of Franck Ribery after winger suffers knee injury against Hertha Berlin. THINGS have went from bad to worse for Bayern Munich after Franck Ribery was forced off against Hertha Berlin with a knee injury. The 34-year-old departed the Olympiastadion in agony in the 62nd minute as his side drew 2-2 Pal Dardai's men on Sunday afternoon. Ribery was left reeling in pain on the floor in Berlin after overextending his leg when trying to control the ball.
Houston Dynamo battle to draw with injury-riddled Portland Timbers
The Portland Timbers went to Houston hoping to stake themselves to a lead in the first leg of the Western Conference semifinals against the Dynamo.Instead, Caleb Porter's team left Texas with a 0-0 result and three potentially debilitating injuries.Here are three thoughts on the goalless draw at BBVA Compass Stadium:1. We got a track meet on a sloppy trackWith two teams anxious to attack at speed whenever possible, the game quickly turned into an up-and-down affair that stressed both defenses. The condition of the field at BBVA Compass Stadium certainly had an effect; with neither side able to string together a run of passes on the divot-ridden surface, midfield possession play was rendered nonexistent.The first half saw the greatest energy given over to counterattacking soccer and resulted in a number of good chances. Portland created an excellent opportunity to take the lead on a move initiated by Diego Valeri up the left side. The Argentine attacker curled his run to avoid an offside whistle, then found a streaking Darlington Nagbe in space at the top of the Dynamo box. With Tyler Deric bearing down on him, Nagbe somehow managed to scuff his shot.The Dynamo had their own moments in front of the Timbers' net, with Alberth Elis proving particularly dangerous in transition. Beyond a few moments, the defenses largely did their jobs. The game slowed down in the second half, as Portland adjusted to changes to its lineup and the Dynamo added slower, more creative options in the hunt for a goal.It certainly seemed like Dynamo head coach Wilmer Cabrera understood how important a goal would be for his side headed to Portland, as the Colombian boss made three attacking substitutions in the final half-hour.2. The Timbers were felled by injuriesIt's impossible to know how much blame goes to the uneven field in Houston, but the Timbers head into the decisive home leg with a trio of injuries, pending prognoses, that could loom large.In the final few minutes of the first half, center-back Larrys Mabiala hacked down Elis before crumbling to the turf, picking up a yellow card to add insult to his injury. Porter turned to Roy Miller as a replacement in a scenario no head coach wants to face. Little did Porter know that it was only the beginning of the Timbers' injury woes.Minutes later, defensive midfielder Diego Chara went down. Ominously, the Colombian signaled to the bench with something resembling a "break" gesture and was stretchered off as the half ended. Amobi Okugo stepped in to play the second half. Two injuries, two substitutions.It didn't seem like it could get worse, until Nagbe was forced off in the 59th minute. Whatever plan Porter had for changes later in the match never happened. All three subs were used on injuries.Worse, the Timbers will almost certainly be without Chara for the second leg, and they could be missing Mabiala and Nagbe, as well. In five games in 2017, the Timbers are 0-3-2 without Chara in the lineup. The last time they managed to win without him was in 2015.The Dynamo might not be the favorite on the road, where they've struggled all year, but the chances for an upset are dramatically higher with the Timbers waylaid by disastrous injuries.Larrys Mabiala's tackle on Alberth Elis was originally called a penalty, only to be overruled by VAR.3. A tale of two (non) penaltiesThe two biggest moments of what ultimately proved to be a game without scoring came within 10 minutes of one another in the first half.Elis's driving run into the Portland box forced a decision by Mabiala. The center-back, despite holding good position on the goal side of the Honduran attacker, chose to go to ground in a bid to win the ball. Mabiala got the ball, but he also took Elis down with his trailing leg. Referee Robert Sibiga pointed to the spot, awarding a spot kick and a potential lead to the Dynamo.After a VAR-initiated review, Sibiga reversed himself and waved off the penalty. The call was certainly subjective, but the scissor action of Mabiala's tackle will have the Dynamo wondering why a change was necessary.At the other end, Portland sprung an attack through the occasionally useful Darren Mattocks that prompted Houston keeper Deric to charge off his line. Mattocks touched the ball past Deric, then went down under Deric's diving challenge. Sibiga was unmoved and whistled for a corner kick. The VAR process did not come into play, presumably because it did not rise to the level of a possible "clear and obvious mistake."In the end, the two calls evened out and the game remained tied. That's justice of a sort, though the Timbers -- in part because of the rash of injuries they suffered -- will wonder how things might have been different if the second decision had gone their way.Jason Davis covers Major League Soccer and the United States national team for ESPN FC.

Montenegro - England 2:2, all goals and highlights [7. 10. 2011] Crna Gora - Engleska 2:2
Wayne Rooney red card - 3:15, Goals: Ashley Young 11. min, Daren Bent 31. min, Elsad Zverotic 45. min, Andrija Delibasic 90. min. Montenegro - England, Euro 2012 Qualifier Friday, 7 October 2011 22:32 UK By Phil McNulty Chief football writer in Podgorica Rooney lashes out on Dzudovic to receive his marching orders England secured their place at Euro 2012 with a scrambled draw in Montenegro - but Wayne Rooney was sent off and will miss the start of the tournament. Fabio Capello insisted Rooney was in the right frame of mind to play in stormy Podgorica despite his father's arrest on Thursday in a probe into alleged betting irregularities, but his flash of temper - when he kicked out at Miodrag Dzudovic - suggested otherwise. England's path to Poland and Ukraine next summer looked to be a smooth one as goals from Ashley Young and Darren Bent gave them a comfortable lead after 31 minutes. But England's final qualifier, played out in the hostile surroundings of Podgorica City Stadium, turned on two incidents that will have cast a cloud over Capello's delight at reaching another major tournament. Elsad Zverotic gave Montenegro hope with a goal with the last kick of the first half - and when Rooney was deservedly shown red by referee Wolfgang Stark, England were placed under pressure they could not survive. Just as the clash entered stoppage time Dzudovic crossed for Andrija Delibasic to head in at the far post for a goal that gave Montenegro the point that puts them into next month's qualifying play-offs. Rooney's sending off will be the main talking point, however, and his actions once again raise questions about his temperament that he looked to have gone a long way towards answering in recent times. The Manchester United striker's explosive response to a block from Dzudovic was a complete over-reaction and the consequences quickly dawned on Rooney as he made his way off. England and Capello can now make plans for Euro 2012, but they will be without Rooney for at least the opening group match and perhaps more should Uefa decide to increase his suspension. Capello warned his players that caution was not an option as they went in search of the result that would take England to Euro 2012. And his message was carried out to the letter in the opening exchanges as England played with a tempo and threat Montenegro struggled to subdue. Theo Walcott's final pass has often drawn criticism but there could be no complaint in the 11th minute when his perfect delivery to the far post only required a stoop and a nod of the head from Young to put England ahead. England gave away a two-goal lead for the first time since Sep 2004 This was England's 900th international. They have won 510, drawn 218 and lost 172 Wayne Rooney joins David Beckham as the only England players to have received two reds And with the sting drawn from Montenegro's gifted attacking players and thunder and lightning crackling around the small but atmospheric arena, England's rain-soaked fans were celebrating a second goal after 31 minutes. Bent was again left with the simplest of finishes when Rooney picked out Young and he unselfishly crossed for Bent to tap in from inside the six-yard area. Even then the perfectionist Capello was not happy, almost dancing in his technical area in fury when Gareth Barry wasted possession, constantly urging England to maintain the tempo that saw them take such a measure of command. Just as a satisfactory 45 minutes looked to be drawing to a close without further incident, England conceded a sloppy goal with the last act of the half. Fatos Beciraj was allowed time and space to find Zverotic, whose shot took a crucial deflection off Gary Cahill's boot and out of Joe Hart's reach. In a single moment Montenegro and their supporters were given fresh impetus and encouragement. Beciraj tested Hart with a low shot before teenager Phil Jones, on his England debut, suffered an anxious moment when Stevan Jovetic went down under his challenge, leaving the youngster clearly relieved to see referee Stark wave away Montenegro's appeals. Capello made a change on the hour which was presumably enforced by injury as the excellent Young was replaced by Stewart Downing. And four minutes later Bent went off to allow Frank Lampard to come on and restore England's earlier midfield superiority. As England attempted to steady the ship, the Rooney flashpoint occurred 17 minutes from time. He was involved in little more than a routine battle for possession near the touchline before lashing out at Dzudovic. Dzudovic made the most of the offence but Rooney could have no complaints when he was shown a red card. The final twist came with that late equaliser. The final whistle brought celebrations from both sets of fans - but utter dejection for the tormented Rooney. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/15195384.stm
