Richarlison smashes in a first-half hat-trick for Brazil at the Olympics Michael Kenrick , 22 July, 2021
Brazil s Olympic campaign got off to the perfect start on Thursday as they brushed Germany aside 4-2 in Group D, thanks to Richarlison scoring a hat-trick inside the first 30 minutes.
Richarlison appears to be intent on fully realizing his unquestionable potential in his national colours, with no Neymar to steal the limelight. The game was just seven minutes old when he broke the deadlock, firing past Florian Muller at the second attempt.
Then, 23 minutes later, he fired a powerful header home for his second goal before curling a beautiful shot past Muller for his third. Nadiem Amiri and Ragnar Ache gave Brazil a scare in the second half, but Paulinho came off the bench to make the points safe in injury time.

Townsend announced as the summer s first signing Lyndon Lloyd Tuesday, 20 July, 2021
Everton have completed the acquisition of Andros Townsend on a free transfer from Crystal Palace, the first signing of Rafael Benitez s tenure as the Blues manager.
The 30-year-old winger agreed a two-year contract that would run through the end of June 2023, bringing to an end a five-year spell at Selhurst Park while renewing his association with Benitez who managed him briefly at Newcastle United in 2016.
Townsend explained that reuniting with his old boss and the prospect of playing for a “massive and ambitious” club like Everton meant that he could not turn down the chance to sign when it came up.
Time To Move On
Jump to last I don’t think many people will like this article, or agree with it. You might hate me for it. Time to move on means what it says – and it’s what I’ll be doing.
Like many ToffeeWebbers, I have been supporting Everton since I was a youngster. When I was 7 years old, my family moved to Liverpool, though I was already a confirmed Blue by then thanks to my Dad, who had previously lived in Liverpool from 1958 to 1966.
My Dad likes to tell the story of how he came to Liverpool as a young man (from Belfast) and went to watch Liverpool one week and then went to watch Everton the next and sensibly chose the latter. He said Liverpool just didn’t feel right, plus they were in the Second Division and shite, which made the decision even easier.
