| David Beckham's wife Victoria categorically refused to live in this city after the terrorist attacks in Madrid. Thus, Real is already preparing to part with the England midfielder. “We, of course, do not want to lose such a player, but if he finds it impossible to stay in Madrid, we are ready to terminate our contract. However, Beckham’s new club will have to pay a large penalty,” a confidential source at the Royal club told the Evening Standard.
Earlier, the English Chelsea announced their desire to acquire Beckham. True, Roman Abramovich's club now has other problems - the draw for the 1/4 finals of the Champions League brought Chelsea against Arsenal. It was the gunners who blocked Abramovich's team from winning all tournaments - the English Championship, the National Cup and the Premier League Cup. In the remaining quarter-finals there are: Porto - Lyon, Real Madrid - Monaco, Milan - Deportivo. Andrey VDOVIN
At the European Championships, fans will have their passports checked
Those who wish to purchase tickets for the European Championships in Portugal this coming summer will have to provide comprehensive information about themselves. At least there is a corresponding order from UEFA for this. Without indicating your name, address, telephone number and passport number, there will be no entry into the arena. And this seems to be just the visible part of the iceberg. In general, requirements and restrictions apply to absolutely everything. In Portugal it will be easier to go to prison than to the stadium.
UEFA demands that anonymous presence at the stadium during the European Championship be excluded. Each fan and accompanying persons will be registered. Tickets must be personalized, and passport control will be carried out directly at the stadium. Those who cannot present the appropriate identification document specified in the contract signed when purchasing a ticket will not be allowed into the stadium. According to the Lisbon ticket office, changes to the lists will only be accepted in exceptional cases.
In this way, the organizers of the European Championship intend to ensure the safety of fans. The hidden purpose of this decision, however, is to combat ticket sales. UEFA reserves the right to use personal data of fans for marketing purposes, as well as to transfer it to sponsors, to which the fan gives his consent when signing a ticket purchase agreement.

The defeat of UNICS plays into the hands of the capital's army team
Basketball. Russian Championship. Superleague A. "Lokomotiv" NS - "Dynamo" - 98:107, "Ural-Great" - UNICS - 96:89, "Spartak" - "Lokomotiv-Rostov" - 67:91, "Khimki" " -- CSKA -- 104:114. The leaders are: CSKA - 43 points (22 games), UNICS - 38 (20), Ural Great - 37 (20).
The central meeting of the next round was the match in Perm. “Ural-Great” took revenge from the Kazan team for their defeat in the first round, came close to UNICS in terms of the number of victories, but even in the event of a final equality of points, the Volga team will be in the standings above the wards of head coach Sergei Belov. The bronze medalists of last year's national championship have an advantage in personal matches, since they prevailed on their home court with a gap of 15 points. The capital's army team has almost already become the winner of the regular season title. In order to finally win the “gold” of the Super League, the “red-blues” need to win against the Tula Arsenal on March 20 at home, and this, due to the difference in class, should not present any difficulties to Dusan Ivkovic’s team.

The quarterfinal pairs of the Russian Championship playoffs were: Metallurg (MG) - Neftekhimik, Lada - Lokomotiv, Avangard - Dynamo, Metallurg (Nk) - Ak Bars " Konstantin IVANOV
