LONDON (AP) — Sobbing after the active search for her brother was halted www.thetopsoccer.com/croatia , the sister of Argentine soccer player Emiliano Sala urged authorities Thursday not to give up trying to find the remains of his plane that disappeared from radar over the English Channel.Authorities said the chances of survival are “extremely remote” for Sala and pilot David Ibbotson after a three-day air-and-sea operation, covering 1,700 square miles near the Channel Islands, failed to locate the aircraft or the two people on board.The plane was flying from the French city of Nantes to Cardiff, where the 28-year-old Sala was due to start playing for the Welsh capital’s Premier League club.“I know that they’re alive and they’re well, and they’re looking for us,” the player’s sister Cheap Egypt Soccer Jerseys , Romina Sala, said in Cardiff. “Please, please, I’m asking you — don’t stop searching. They’re alive.”Sala spoke about 30 minutes after Guernsey harbor master Capt. David Barker announced they had “taken the difficult decision to end the search” while asking ships and aircraft to continue looking for parts of the light aircraft.“The chances of survival at this stage are extremely remote,” Barker said.The plane was last known to be flying near Hurd’s Deep, an underwater valley which has a depth of more than 100 meters (328 feet).“Finding anything in that depth of water is going to be extremely difficult,” Barker said. “But we can’t say conclusively if the plane is on the seabed.”Sala’s transfer was completed only last week Cheap England Soccer Shirts , with Cardiff agreeing to a club-record fee reported to be 15 million pounds ($19 million). The club described Thursday’s latest developments as a “time of immeasurable sadness.”“We were looking forward to providing Emiliano with the next step in his life and career,” Cardiff owner Vincent Tan said in a statement published on the club’s website. “Those who met Emiliano described a good-natured and humble young man who was eager to impress in the Premier League. The response from the football community has been truly touching and we place on record our sincere thanks to those who have sent messages of support.”The Piper PA-46 aircraft was arranged by Sala’s representatives to take him to south Wales after saying goodbye to his former teammates in Nantes, according to agent Mark McKay.“Emiliano is a fighter. I know he has not given up,” Romina Sala said. “We don’t have any certainty of anything. Nothing has been found.”Sala secured the move to the world’s richest soccer league after a standout season in France, scoring 12 times in 19 league games.After emerging as a player in the Proyecto Crecer youth academy in the Argentine city of San Francisco, Sala moved to Europe in 2010 to join Bordeaux.Sala was sent on loan to Orleans in the third-tier of French soccer, where he excelled with 19 goals in his one season there.But Sala was unable to establish himself at Bordeaux and he was sent out on loan to the second division team Niort. After scoring 21 goals Cheap France Soccer Jerseys , he was given a chance in Ligue 1 by Bordeaux. But after scoring only once in 11 league games for Bordeaux during the 2014-15 season, Sala had to go out on loan again to Caen but his goals secured a move to Nantes. NEW YORK (AP) — A former Caribbean soccer official fighting extradition in the FIFA bribery scandal has been ordered to pay $79 million in damages from a related U.S. lawsuit.U.S. District Judge William Kuntz ordered the default judgment against Jack Warner in the 2017 civil action accusing him of embezzling tens of millions of dollars from the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football. The written ruling was issued in federal court in Brooklyn on Tuesday after Warner failed to contest the claim.The soccer association “intends to pursue all available avenues to enforce the judgment in any jurisdiction where CONCACAF has reason to believe Mr. Warner may have assets,” plaintiff lawyer John Kuster said in a statement Wednesday.Warner, 76, is a defendant in a sprawling criminal investigation that has resulted in convictions of several top soccer officials. He’s out on bail while challenging a U.S. extradition request to Trinidad and Tobago, where he’s denied any wrongdoing.There was no immediate response Wednesday to an email sent to one of his lawyers.The suit accused Warner and Chuck Blazer Cheap Germany Soccer Jerseys , another soccer official who died after it was filed, of negotiating bribes and kickbacks in connection with lucrative broadcasting rights for tournaments including the confederation’s Gold Cup championship. Allegations in the suit also mirrored criminal charges saying that Warner, while he and Blazer were members of FIFA’s executive committee, took a $10 million payment to influence voting on which country should host the World Cup.Warner “agreed to provide Blazer with $1 million of the $10 million bribe,” according to the suit. “Unsurprisingly, when the FIFA Executive Committee vote was held on May 15, 2004 best replica football jerseys , South Africa was selected over Morocco to host the 2010 World Cup. Warner and Blazer both voted for South Africa.”Blazer’s estate agreed earlier this year to pay $20 million in damages in the civil case.Warner’s sons, Daryll and Daryan, pleaded guilty to fraud charges in the criminal case in 2013 as part of a cooperation deal. They’re both out on bail with travel restrictions within the U.S. and are awaiting sentencing.
