Tromsø-spiss på nytt utlån – klar for polsk fotball
Tromsø sender spissen Ieltsin Camões på lån til den polske klubben Slask Wroclaw.
Det opplyser Tromsø på sine nettsider. Klubben skriver at spissen leies ut i ett år til polakkene, og at Slask Wroclaw har sikret seg opsjon på kjøp.
Tidligere i år var Camões på lån hos egyptiske Al Ahly, men avtalen utløp 30. juni. De siste to månedene har 27-åringen vært i Tromsø, hvor han har scoret to mål i Eliteserien og bidratt i kvalifiseringen til spill i Europa.
Camões kom til Tromsø fra svensk fotball før 2025-sesongen. I fjor scoret han 13 mål og leverte fire målgivende pasninger i Eliteserien. Tromsø endte da med bronsemedalje. (NTB) somethingsdifferent.biz
Experts sound off on failed grass field at new Bills stadium
Carl Spackler is having his day.
With the Bills ripping up the grass at their new stadium after only two preseason games and installing a new one for the regular-season home opener, various grass experts have sounded off. Tim Graham of The Athletic has collected and published their comments.
The legendary George Toma said this as to the failed field: “That hurts me. That’s terrible to happen at all, but so soon? Somebody fell asleep.”
Another "award-winning sports agronomist" with extensive experience installing pro and college surfaces, but who requested anonymity for apparent fear of Big Sod, said that it was "the worst sod I’ve seen in the NFL in my career. I can’t even imagine how that could have happened."
Added Tony Dick, sports management professor at Baldwin Wallace University and former Cleveland Browns assistant head groundskeeper: "[N]atural turf is safer in a perfect setting. But if you have the situation like you have in Buffalo — and I went back and watched the film — you cannot tell me that field was safer than the artificial turf they just left. . . . I’m never putting Josh Allen on a field in that condition.”
The Bills had this to say about the issue, via Graham: “We have consulted with the NFL and an independent expert who works with multiple NFL teams. These consultants recommended utilizing this three-week window before the home opener to install the sod. The NFL inspects every field and determines whether it meets league standards. We are confident that they are the appropriate group to ensure the field performs at the necessary level.”
Still, the unnamed agronomist is skeptical. “They will have a difficult time,” he said. “There’s so much going wrong, and there’s so little time. If that field makes it through the second game, I’ll be shocked.”
Professor Dick offered a prediction: "You might have artificial turf back in there within three years, just because it’s safer than whatever that was."
The first test of Sod 2.0 is only 13 days away. That's when the Bills host the Lions, the first of three Buffalo games in three weekends.

Leylah Fernandez has broken Pegula early, taking a 2-0 lead in the first. You might recall that Fernandez was Emma Raducanu’s opponent in the 2021 US Open final; since losing that match, the Canadian has only gone past the third round at a slam once (the 2022 French Open, where she made the quarter-finals) but has won five WTA Tour titles and is a consistent presence in the world’s top 30. So which career path would you prefer: hers or Raducanu’s?
Sabalenka takes the first set 6-3, remaining dominant against an opponent who is playing decent stuff. Marta Kostyuk also claims the first set 6-3 over Alexandrova, while Sorana Cirstea has claimed the opener against Paolini by the same score. That feels like an upset, even though Cirstea is seeded higher – No 16 to Paolini’s 19.
