‘Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal still in Kessie hunt’ The Italian side have been linked to the Independiente youth graduate, who has featured regularly for them this season, with Argentine press reporting the Serie A side scouted him recently. However, Milan are one of many teams said to be tracking Barco and Independiente’s general manager, Hector Maldonado, says the bright prospect will cost any suitors a hefty price. “He has great talent, and is a player who matters a lot for the present and future of Independiente,” he told Calciomercato....

The two have met each other twice in the past, both on hard courts and the German is yet to take a set off the Spanish superstar. One of those wins came at the same venue two years ago and Nadal had little difficulty in dispatching Zverev. Nadal is a two-time champion at Acapulco. He won here in 2005 and 2013. But both those titles came when the matches were played on his favorite surface – clay....

Thirteen years after Manchester United women’s team was disbanded to prioritize resources on the men, gender equality has returned to one of the world’s richest sports teams. Only 83 days after being granted a license by the English Football Association, United’s women’s side plays on Sunday against Liverpool with Stoney as coach. “It was a blank canvas,” Stoney said in an interview with The Associated Press. “I wasn’t coming in and clearing up anyone else’s mess....

Both sides maneuvered to spin the settlement. Jesse Jackson, who helped raise money to make the case go away, tried to change the subject to discrimination against women. Affirmative-action opponents claimed victory but lamented losing the chance to watch the increasingly conservative Supreme Court use a Piscataway ruling to inflict even more damage on affirmative action. ““Racial preferences are tearing this country apart, and here come these outside groups paying to keep the case out of the Supreme Court,’’ said Roger Clegg of the Center for Equal Opportunity....

From mechanical companions overflowing with personality to a group of ragtag heroes somehow saving the day, New Tales from the Borderlands takes many familiar ingredients from previous Borderlands games and gives them their own spin. The cast of characters might have been (mostly) new to the universe and the story might have been original, but New Tales from the Borderlands had the franchise’s unmistakable humor – something a sequel could definitely play with more, especially when it comes to its title....

A year and a half ago, when the National Institutes of Health started investigating the work of his laboratory, Dr. Robert Gallo fell silent. Dogged by accusations that the AIDS virus he identified in 1984 was based on a French laboratory’s tissue sample, the normally ubiquitous scientist seemed to shrink from the spotlight. Last June, for instance, AIDS researchers from all over the world descended on San Francisco for a teeming, weeklong conference....

Sadie, an emotional basket case, is all raw need and flaming exhibitionism – an aspiring rock singer whose lack of talent doesn’t stop her from spilling her soul on-stage, and whose reckless intake of booze and heroin keeps her bouncing from band to band and man to man. Georgia’s life is as orderly as Sadie’s is chaotic. A successful folk-rock singer with a voice like honey, she’s constructed a life-caring husband (Ted Levine), loving children, the same placid country home she grew up in – designed to protect her deep need for repose and anonymity....

Confronted by all these eccentricities, it’s hard to believe that they are the work of the man who last year won Britain’s Whitbread Prize for Novel of the Year and the Guardian Fiction Prize, the man Anthony Burgess called “the first major Scottish writer since Sir Walter Scott.” It’s harder still to think that all this funkiness is supposed to make the book more, not less, accessible. But that’s what Gray himself insists....

S.H.: You served two tours in Iraq since graduating from West Point. What was it like to return to your alma mater as a combat veteran? Matt Mabe: It’s funny. When I was a cadet, I would look at graduates returning for their reunions as people who had triumphed in life. Some still wore the uniform. Others had left the Army to pursue careers in civilian life. They all carried an air of accomplishment....

“This anniversary is a moment to resummon the purpose we felt one year ago and to recommit to the battle for the soul of this nation—a battle against the forces of white supremacy that are part of the very foundations of our nation but which this president has encouraged and emboldened,” Biden says in one video, which the campaign provided to Newsweek ahead of its public release Monday. The shooting left 23 dead and more than two dozen injured, mostly Latino, including Mexican nationals, who were shopping in the U....

The films official trailer gave audiences a glimpse of each significant character, strategically shying away from mentioning anything that would reveal too much. The characters in X are a composition of filmmakers and crew off to shoot an adult film, which they have titled “The Farmer’s Daughter.” The film’s title gives one a hint of where this sadistic tale will live, thus revealing the backdrop of a decrepit farm where things are centered....

With KL Rahul, Axar Patel and Shreyas Iyer unavailable for the series, the hosts will be forced to make some changes to the team they fielded against Sri Lanka. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra opined that Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill will certainly open the batting, reasoning:...

Rodgers made his weekly appearance on the “Pat McAfee Show” Tuesday, and the self-proclaimed “optimist” had some pretty un-optimistic things to say about the Packers’ offense. Rodgers made it clear that the team was suffering from mental mistakes — but not to worry, he had his highest-graded game of the 2022 NFL season, according to him: MORE: NFL power rankings — Packers slide continues after loss vs. Washington Even in a game where we had 50 plays or something, it wasn’t a ton of plays, they had like 37 minutes in time of possession — a lot of mistakes....

Who’s better? We’ll find out next month in Rio, when the two swimmers face off in both the 50-meter and 100-meter freestyles.
