Brazil 6/1 to beat England 1-0 The Northern Ireland midfielder blocked a shot from Xherdan Shaqiri with his side as he turned away from the ball, with Northern Ireland coach Michael O’Neill describing the costly decision against his side as “staggering”....

Adam Scott kept his 17-year major championship streak alive Monday by using a sectional qualifier to earn a spot in next week’s U.S. Open. Also, 19-year-old Joaquin Niemann, who finished t-6 last week, already has three top-10 finishes on Tour this year. A win this week would earn him a two-year exemption. While the FedEx St. Jude is often seen as a bridge between the end of the Texas Swing and the U....

The rivalry being what it is, it appears Cristiano Ronaldo has taken exception to this seemingly definitive categorisation and has set about correcting it, one facial hair at a time. Against Morocco, he not only debuted a new goatee beard but has begun to stroke it lovingly as well. In his own mind Cristiano has always been the GOAT and so begins his latest quest to convince the world of it....

There is a fine line between normal fatigue and fatigue that indicates something serious. This article explores some of the factors that cause fatigue and what you can do if it persists or gets worse after surgery. “Normal” Fatigue Some level of fatigue is expected after having surgery.

No longer the ace he was for most of his time in Seattle, facing the A’s still recalled a time he fully embodied the moniker King Felix. In his career against Oakland, he holds a 26-14 record with a 2.80 ERA. That included three Opening Day victories and six games of 10 or more strikeouts. Hernandez was nowhere near his best Thursday, but he gutted his way through 5 1/3 frames....

“I am sure it is enlightening and interesting,” one high-major coach texted to Sporting News just before leaving his office and heading to the gym floor, adding a smiley emoticon to make sure we understood he did not expect to find ESPNU’s choice of Friday afternoon programming all that much of either. The practice in question was staged at the Joe Craft Center at the University of Kentucky, involving the 2014-15 UK Wildcats before an audience of 90 NBA personnel executives: general managers, scouts....

Oz, who rose to prominence as a TV host and medical personality, is running as a Republican for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Pennsylvania Senator Pat Toomey. He faces stiff competition from the Democratic nominee, Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman. One of the primary talking points that Fetterman has latched onto is the fact that Oz does not actually appear to live in Pennsylvania, which the progressive Democrat has used to accuse his opponent of being out of touch with voters in the state....

After being involved in a wreck with rookie driver Justin Allgaier — an incident that led to a second crash — Patrick confronted Allgaier in the garage after the race. “She was just upset because she got involved in the crash that we had,” Allgaier said. “She said she’s been through this and that she felt like I needed to settle down at that point.” While Patrick’s run-in with Allgaier was a relatively minor incident and is not likely to escalate into a full-fledged feud, Patrick may continue to have problems with rookie drivers....

The Raptors guard announced he was withdrawing from Team USA on Monday, citing health reasons. Lowry had surgery on his right thumb in July. He made the trip to training camp despite having a fear the injury wouldn’t allow him to play, a report from ESPN noted. He was a member of the 2016 gold-medal team and still hopes to represent the U.S. on the 2020 Olympic team, ESPN added....

Spain, the host country, has seen the price gap between it and the Americans shrink ever so slightly since last week, but the USA remains the odds-on favorite to win a fourth straight international tournament after claiming gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, 2010 World Championships in Turkey and the 2012 London Olympics. Despite lacking the game’s two best players – LeBron James and Kevin Durant – the group selected by head coach Mike Krzyzewski and USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo still boasts several studs and all-stars....

The FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 still hasn’t ended, but it’s safe to say that we have witnessed a revolution in many ways: a result that’s fitting for the first ever FIBAWC held in China, and the first to open its doors to 32 teams. The larger pool helped some European teams to hop back on to the most important stage of them all (Italy among them) while giving newer and fresher teams room to show their improvements (Poland and Czech Republic seized the chance with flying colors) and granting access to the sport’s greatest global party even to “smaller” basketball nations, such as Japan, Philippines or Ivory Coast....

The two players each scored twice in big wins for their sides, as Balotelli helped Nice go 4-1 up against Caen and Bale sent Real Madrid on the way to a 6-0 victory over Celta. More two-goal heroes have been drafted into the first XI, with Erik Lamela also included after his exploits in Tottenham’s 5-4 win over Leicester while West Ham’s Manuel Lanzini also makes the cut. Meanwhile, Premier League champion Leroy Sane gets a nod after a bright display against Southampton as Manchester City closed the season with a win....

Kane 7/4 to be PL top scorer Real Madrid playmaker Isco is also in the TOTW2 squad after helping the Liga champions past Espanyol.

Qatar launched the state of the art cooling technology earlier this year amid much fanfare at the Khalifa International stadium. It has already been tested during games successfully and has seen stars praise the innovative feature. China’s star forward Wu Lei has joined his teammate Zhang Linpeng in showering praise on the pioneering stadium cooling technology developed by Qatar. The 26-year-old winger had first-hand experience of the cooling system used at Khalifa International Stadium back in September when Qatar hosted China in a 2018 World Cup qualifier which ended 1-2 in the visitors’ favour....

Metzenbaum may indeed see his Senate seat warmed by the despised disciple. His would-be successor, Joel Hyatt, is running behind. But even if the tide turns for Hyatt, a lawyer and liberal who happens to be his son-in-law, no one can really replace Howard Metzenbaum. At a time when most senators – and most liberals – are known for what they don’t get done, the departure of one liberal legislator seems like a doubtful occasion for commentary....
