100 days before the start of the World Cup, the coach of the Brazilian National Team, Carlo Ancelotti, spoke about his expectations for Brazil’s participation in the tournament and projected a performance “at a very high level.”

“It is a joy to have the time to prepare for this important event for Brazil. It is a great motivation and a big responsibility to try to do our very best. I am sure that we will have a World Cup at a very high level,” celebrated the coach, in an interview with CBF TV.

Since the announcement of the group stage opponents (Morocco, Haiti, and Scotland) and the base camp for Brazil—the delegation will train at CT Columbia Park in Morristown and stay at The Ridge hotel in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, on the American East Coast—the National Teams Department has been organizing Brazil’s schedule for the World Cup.

In addition to this work, the coach and his technical staff continue to observe the athletes who could represent Brazil at the World Cup. Ancelotti also emphasized the importance of the friendlies against France and Croatia at the end of March.

On the 26th, Brazil faces France at Gillette Stadium in Boston at 5 p.m. (Brasília time). Then, on the 31st, they take on Croatia at Camping World Stadium in Orlando at 9 p.m. (Brasília time).

“We have been working on the logistics, organization, training center, and hotel, so now we have to evaluate the players who are playing, those who are injured, and those who are recovering. It is a moment of observation. Obviously, we have to do well in the friendlies against France and Croatia and watch the matches of the players who could be at the World Cup in June,” he explained.

Check out Brazil’s World Cup schedule:

1st Round) Brazil vs. Morocco – June 13 – 7 p.m. – MetLife Stadium in New York/New Jersey

There is an important meeting this week about the future of college football. Sorry, there are actually two meetings this week. The one you may be thinking of is the highly publicized one that is scheduled for Friday at the White House. The far more important one was a secret. It happened in Dallas with powerful people from college football in attendance. This meeting was with Smash Sports, an extension of the investment group Smash Capital. It focused on the pitch to consolidate all of college football’s media rights. Ross Dellenger reports what is going on behind the scenes with this meeting. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey join the conversation to discuss the impact of this meeting, the impact of consolidation and what the chances are something like that could happen. 

Then, Andy, Ross and Godfrey continue the conversation discussing how a situation like this would play out and who else would need to be involved for it to work. They talk about what kind of impact Paramount buying Warner Brothers could have on this type of deal, and the college football world in general, and the share how they think a resolution will ultimately be determined.

Later, the guys discuss Tennessee Head Coach Josh Heupel coming out in support of a 24-team playoff. This is in direct contrast to the model that the SEC is supporting. The guys discuss the impact of a coach in the SEC taking this stance and how the playoff discussion will continue to evolve. All of this and more on today's College Football Enquirer.

Yankees' Aaron Judge likes what he sees from Spencer Jones after swing adjustment originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.

The New York Yankees have a very crowded outfield after their offseason moves. Aaron Judge is locked into a starting spot, while Cody Bellinger and Trent Grisham both returned this offseason.

But behind them are Jasson Dominguez and Spencer Jones, two young sluggers who realistically could've been starters this year for the Yankees. Instead, they're backups.

Jones might not stay a backup for long, however.

As Brendan Kuty of The Athletic shared, Jones has made a major change to his swing, keeping his front foot down on the ground for longer to generate better contact. It's working, and Judge, the future Hall of Fame outfielder, is liking what he's seeing.

Aaron Judge likes Spencer Jones' swing adjustment

"I think the biggest thing that I've noticed swing-wise is he's just ready to hit," Judge said. "The minute he puts that foot down with the little toe-tap, he's ready to hit."

Before, Jones had his front foot in the air, resulting in more inconsistent contact. But now, he's trying to mirror Shohei Ohtani and keep his front foot down as much as possible.

Jones, at 6-foot-7, needs to swing a bit differently than other players. He's copying Ohtani, and through 10 at-bats so far, it's working. He had three hits, all home runs.

While he can have some decent production at the plate, hearing that Judge, someone who knows a thing or two about hitting, likes the adjustment Jones has made is a sign that the young Yankees outfielder is making the right changes.

"He doesn't have a big leg kick; he doesn't have to worry about getting that down," Judge said. "That quickness, that readiness is really going to be a game-changer for him."

The comments from Judge on Jones' new swing is a great sign for the young outfielder. Hearing this praise, the change that Jones made over the offseason isn't just an abstract thing; it's something his superstar teammate believes can be a "game-changer" for him.

While Jones might not break spring training with the Major League ball club, if he can continue to use this new swing adjustment in the minors and hit well, he could be up with the Yankees early in the 2026 season.
