Latest News RSS feed Shanghai Shenhua not ruling out Tevez extension Shanghai Shenhua admit Carlos Tevez has failed to live up to expectations, but the club are yet to rule out extending the forward's deal. Tevez, 33, has struggled since his lucrative move, scoring just four goals in 16 Chinese Super League (CSL) games. The Argentinian was left out of the squad for both legs of the Chinese FA Cup final against Shanghai SIPG as Shenhua claimed the trophy on away goals. Shenhua deputy general manager Zhou Jun said Tevez had failed to reach the heights the club expected. "We decided to buy Tevez because the AFC Champions League qualifying phase was about to begin and at that time the new rules [to curb mega signings] did not come to light," he told Shanghai TV. "Tevez was playing quite well in both Boca Juniors and Juventus. And since there was an arms race going on [in the CSL], our club need a player who has a reputation and universal appeal.

Latest News RSS feed VAR to be used in England v Germany England's friendly clash with Germany at Wembley on Friday will see a video assistant referee (VAR) used in an official match in the United Kingdom. The International Football Association Board (IFAB) agreed to a two-year test of VAR in 2016, making goals, penalties, straight red cards and mistaken identity cases reviewable by match officials. VARs and other officials do not have the power to insist that the referee consults video evidence of an incident, but they are able to recommend that a decision is looked at. Wembley has seen VAR used once before, with a charity match in October playing the role of testing ground for the system. Fittingly, England and Germany matches have a history of controversial incidents which would have been avoided with VAR. England won the 1966 World Cup final against West Germany partly down to Geoff Hurst's second goal being given despite not crossing the line. And, at the 2010 Wo...
