Semedo looking forward to 'good season' after completing Watford move
Watford's latest signing has vowed 'to run and challenge for every ball' and is 'counting down the days' until the new season kicks off at Charlton Athletic on August 9. Vivaldo Semedo became the Hornets' fifth confirmed addition of the summer after completing a permanent move from Udinese on a five-year contract and is optimistic about his new club's prospects in the forthcoming Championship campaign.

'Even when the goals don't come, I'm going to be there to give my all - to run and challenge for every ball. That is going to be the standard. 'Our goal is to go to the Premier League. 'I am really happy to be here, and I'm counting down the days until the first game. It's going to be a good season.' Semedo, who was on loan at Vizela in his native Portugal last season, moved to Vicarage Road after his uncle, who is also his agent, helped negotiate his contract. Advertisement 'My uncle called to tell me that Watford were interested and I was very happy,' Semedo said. 'It is my dream to play in England, but also a dream of my uncle! 'You can see this is a big club with history. 'The facilities are top class, so if you want to achieve great things, Watford has it for you.' Playing in the Championship will be a new challenge for the 20-year-old, but it is one he feels ready for. 'I expect it to be more direct, with more goals,' he explained. 'There will be more interaction with the fans, and more aggression. 'It is why I came here – to enjoy the football.'

Little green man becomes little green woman with soccer ball for Euro 2025 in Switzerland
BASEL, Switzerland (AP) — Law-abiding pedestrians wait for the green woman kicking a soccer ball before they cross the road during the Women's European Championship. Authorities in the Swiss city of Basel have installed 12 of the altered pedestrian crossing lights at locations frequented by soccer fans while the country hosts the nearly month-long tournament. Advertisement Some are located near the soccer stadium, others near the train station. 'They will stay until the end of the Women's Euro — maybe even a few days longer,' says Nicole Ryf-Stocker, spokeswoman for Basel's transport department. Ryf-Stocker said the idea and design was provided by the St. Gallen civil engineering department, while the lights were manufactured by the same company that manufactures Basel's traffic lights. 'We thought the idea was fantastic and were allowed to use it,' she said. Basel will host the final on July 27 among other games. ___ AP soccer: Ciarán Fahey, The Associated Press
