Flamengo star Erick Pulgar sustains lower-body injured vs Bayern in Club World Cup
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Flamengo star Erick Pulgar was injured and carried off the field after a tackle in the first half of the round-of-16 match against Bayern Munich on Sunday.
Pulgar suffered the lower-body injury on a play in which he fouled Bayern's Harry Kane late in the first half, though the exact injury wasn't immediately known. The tackle sparked a brief skirmish between players from both sides.
Pulgar received a yellow card for the foul and will miss the quarterfinals if Flamengo advances. The Brazilian club trailed Bayern 3-1 at the half.
Pulgar was also credited with an own goal that put Bayern up 1-0 in the sixth minute when he headed a cross by Joshua Kimmich into his own net.

Todd Bowles Remains True To Self After Buccaneers Extension
Todd Bowles Remains True To Self After Buccaneers Extension originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Ask any key source around the NFL today, and they will all say the same thing about Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles. Advertisement You won't find a nicer person to lead your team. Since becoming head coach of the Buccaneers in 2022, Bowles has helped lead the team to three straight division titles and a playoff win. Tampa Bay rewarded that consistency this week by announcing it was agreeing to terms with Bowles on a long-term contract extension. "I am excited to continue working with (general manager) Jason (Licht) for years to come as we build on the success we've enjoyed and keep reaching for even bigger and better goals," Bowles said in a team statement. "My family loves Tampa and we're looking forward to delivering more great moments for our fans in the coming seasons." Bowles' statement is a microcosm of who he is as a person. … always true to himself. Even in struggling organizations, he led with professionalism and leadership that is hard to come by in a cut-throat league like the NFL. Advertisement It's what makes him an easy man to root for. Bowles' leadership is also a big reason why Tampa Bay has stayed afloat over the last few years despite injury concerns to some of their aging stars and changes to the quarterback position. But there's one thing that Bowles is missing as a head coach. A Super Bowl. The 61-year-old has won championships as a player, executive, and assistant coach. He has yet to win one while leading the organization from the sideline, though. This year's Buccaneers team could be his best chance to accomplish that feat. … And put a bow on the career of one of the NFL's good guys.

An All-America City three-peat: Tallahassee 'on the move' with latest designation
The City of Tallahassee is officially a three-time All-America City. A delegation of local leaders took home the honor Sunday night after a high-energy presentation to the National Civic League conference in Denver earlier in the day. Twenty cities, ranging from Delray Beach, Fla., to Memphis, Tenn., to Austin, Texas, vied for only ten spots as an All-America City. It was a nailbiter night with Tallahassee announced as the final All-America City in the list of ten. "This community is investing in its parks," the announcer said. "This community is planning for a clean and renewable future. I'm not sure we'll be able to hear ... this magnetic city." With that, a roar went up from the audience and they chanted "Hey Tallahassee." The local delegation ascended to the stage with hugs and high fives. "We did it, We are bringing it home," Mayor John Dailey said as he hailed City Manager Reese Goad as "the best city manager anybody could work with." "You and your team are absolutely amazing." This is the third time the city has emerged victorious, having gone on to win in 1999 and 2015. The win also means Tallahassee joins an elite collection of cities that have also celebrated a three-peat, including Shreveport, La., Bloomington, Ind., Boston, Mass., Asheville, N.C., Fort Worth, Tex., and Cincinnati, Ohio. To be named an all-American city this year, cities had to show examples of "strengthening environmental sustainability through inclusive community engagement." In this year's application and presentation, the city highlighted "key community-driven initiatives" such as the Southside Action Plan, the expansion of the park system to 100 parks and the Clean Energy Plan. After marching in to the chant of "Hey Tallahassee," the delegation highlighted the three points during their presentation, which was created to emulate a tonight show format with Dailey as the host of "Capital City Tonight." 'For 200 years we have been going strong,' Dailey shouted before a hype video rolled to highlight Tallahassee landmarks and achievements. One by one, the city touted its key initiatives. "We were also the first city in Florida to power all the city municipality buildings with our solar energy," Commissioner Jack Porter said. The delegation was made up of city administrators, volunteers and advocates, including Police Chief Lawrence Revell, morning show radio host Greg Tish and southside community organizer Talethia Edwards. Four of the five city elected leaders were part of the delegation with only Commissioner Jeremy Matlow not in attendance. While trumpeting plans to transition to 100% clean energy by 2050, officials noted that over 90 percent of residents live in a ten minute walk of a park or greenspace. Dailey ended the presentation declaring Tallahassee as a place 'where history, nature and innovation truly come together with a little southern charm as well.' The School of Arts & Sciences middle school rock band Tallahassee Routes closed the presentation out to thunderous applause. Tallahassee also won the organization's social media award for best use of the platform to promote the All-America effort. The city did numerous posts and videos highlighting the city's success and plans for the Denver presentation. The latest accolades come as Tallahassee has seen a string of national recognitions that has led Dailey to proclaim that "Tallahassee is on the move." Florida's capital city was recently recognized by HGTV as one of the top 20 mid-size cities in the United States after landing on the same list in 2023. The city was also recently ranked among the top 20 "best-run cities in America," according to Wallethub. A citywide celebration of the All-America win is expected in the weeks ahead. (The winners are in bold) Akron, Ohio Albuquerque, New Mexico Austin, Texas Carrboro, North Carolina Chelsea, Massachusetts Delray Beach, Florida Denver, Colorado Fort Collins, Colorado Hampton, Virginia Jacksonville, North Carolina Kinston, North Carolina Leominster, Massachusetts Memphis, Tennessee Petaluma, California Port St. Lucie, Florida Seattle, Washington Snyder, Texas Statesboro, Georgia Tallahassee, Florida Western Riverside Region, California This article originally appeared on Tallahassee Democrat: Tallahassee wins All-America City honors for third time
