One star that Euphoria has put on the map is Hunter Schafer, who plays the lead role of Jules Vaughn on the show. Schafer’s performance as Jules has been hailed as one of the best aspects of the show, and it’s worth pointing out that Schafer has also served in some behind-the-scenes roles as well. Schafer’s star is on the rise thanks to her work on Euphoria, and it seems one project fans would like to see her tackle in the future would be the role of Princess Zelda in a potential Legend of Zelda adaptation....

That has certainly been the case for Bitcoin, which saw the then all-time high of approximately $19,783 in December 2017 evaporate to almost $3,000 less than two years later. The cryptocurrency has already seen another boom-bust cycle in this young decade of the 2020s. Crypto has established a tight relationship with volatility. Taking the long view has been the wise route for investors seeking growth. Recognizing and understanding innovative themes before the masses has often paid off....

Les Bleus weren’t convincing so far. A 1-1 draw with England, followed by a 2-0 win against Ukraine, and losing the final fixture 2-0 to an already eliminated Sweden have raised doubts about Laurent Blanc’s France side. Many pundits are already predicting, who Spain will face in the semi-finals but they could be proved wrong. France can very well defeat Spain, thus preventing them from winning successive EURO titles....

England take on Wales in their second match of Group B at Stade Bollaert-Delelis, Lens. “The battle of Britain” promises to be a crunch encounter between the neighbors and fierce rivals. Russia snatched a point off England in their opening match of Euro 2016, after scoring an injury time equaliser, thanks a powerful header from their captain Vasili Berezutski. England dominated the match but missed out on many goal-scoring chances and a loss here can put them in a dangerous situation....

Originally scheduled to take place in June and July 2020, UEFA was forced to postpone the competition due to the seriousness of the global coronavirus pandemic, which swept the world in 2020. The idea behind the pan-European event was to stage “a party all over Europe” to mark 60 years since the inaugural tournament (it will be 61 years in 2021) and, for the second time in history, it will feature 24 teams....

Spurs have lost their two previous Group E games at the national stadium, but will qualify for Europe’s secondary competition if they avoid defeat there against CSKA Moscow on Wednesday. With White Hart Lane undergoing redevelopment until 2018, Spurs are set to play more games at Wembley next season and Pochettino wants to make some positive memories under the famous arch. “After being out of the Champions League, it’s [the Europa League] important for different reasons,” said Pochettino, who last month confirmed the club’s preference to play Europa League games at Wembley, despite being free to return to White Hart Lane....

The deal indicates that the incoming Biden administration will have to make a difficult choice: either reset transatlantic cooperation to its pre-2016 status, or stand up to Beijing. The Biden team has staked most of its strategic outlook on the hope of a transatlantic front to counterbalance China. Before inauguration day, it has to wake up to the obvious: one must take priority over the other. Only by realizing that Europe has objectives in China other than holding its regime accountable will America’s sincere commitment to that goal reach its maximum effect....

Agnelli, also chairman of Italian club Juventus, said such an idea could cut down on players commuting between Europe and South America, Africa and Asia to play in World Cup qualifiers and international tournaments. There are 10 international dates this year, divided into batches of two, which could result in some players making five return intercontinental trips per year. “If you have to keep the same amount of (match) days, could you just have two dedicated windows for national teams?...

Man City cost Sheikh Mansour about $293 million, which might seem like a lot, but given that his family is worth an estimated $1 trillion and his portion of that is estimated at $17 billion, it was a little more than tip money. Let’s put it this way: Sheik Mansour owns a boat worth roughly twice what he paid for City. MORE: The European Super League, explained: What it all means...

Beginning on Friday at midnight, most foreign nationals will be barred from entering the U.S. if they’ve been in one of 26 European countries, known as the Schengen area, within 14 days of their arrival. The goal is to limit the number of people who may be infected from spreading the virus in the U.S., and President Donald Trump called it one of several “strong but necessary” actions to protect the “health and well-being of all Americans....

That idea is beginning to gain acceptance in Europe. While the United States wages its war on drugs, some Europeans are quietly negotiating an informal truce. Governments and courts are loosening up on drug prosecutions. Users and social workers are cooperating to develop a “safe drugs culture.” Not everyone agrees with this approach. Last month British Prime Minister Tony Blair told reporters he was “petrified” at the thought of his children getting involved with drugs....

Selangor last Saturday confirmed the signings of Indonesian duo Evan Dimas Darmono and Ilham Udin Armaiyn from Bhayangkara FC. According to Evan’s agent Muly Munial, the discussions for the 22-year old midfielder had went on for almost a month, before the signing was completed. “The negotiation process took around three or four weeks. Praise Allah, the contract is for one year. “They (Selangor) have kept track on Evan for some time....

The 28-year-old full-back, who suffered a double fracture while representing the Republic of Ireland in a World Cup qualifying clash with Wales in March, is now tied to the Toffees until the summer of 2022. Coleman is delighted to have put pen to paper, with his focus now locked on returning to full fitness and putting his injury troubles and regular rounds of transfer rumours – which have often linked him with Manchester United – firmly behind him....

Can Roberto Martinez do it against the Reds? Everton and Liverpool go full throttle coming head to head on what promises to be an enthralling clash in the first Merseyside derby of the season. Both the sides have made impressive starts to the campaign with Liverpool in hot pursuit of league leaders Arsenal in second while the Toffees have a new sense of exuberance in their set up as they sit sixth on the table separated by just a meager six points....

Sergey Lagodinsky, a member of the European Parliament for the German Greens party, is urging the world to “take seriously an antidemocratic, worse-than-Putin alternative.” “It will be important—and challenging—to present a viable democratic alternative to a much worse alternative when things will be changing,” Lagodinsky told Foreign Policy on Monday. “You need faces—strong leaders and politicians who offer themselves as alternatives.” Despite there being a number of vocal Putin dissidents, few have been able to amass a following like opposition leader Alexei Navalny....

Portugal: Having reached the finals of this European Championship on 4 occasions, Portugal will want to go all the way this time and they certainly have the firepower to do so. Portugal has had mixed results in their warm-up games, losing to England (1-0) and winning handsomely against Estonia (7-0). With a few tweaks to the midfield, Portugal can find themselves in a dominating position as their attacking players are potent, to say the least....

After three days of violence on the streets of Marseille saw local French police disperse large crowds with the help of tear gas and water cannons, the match itself was a venue for more violence, especially from the Russian contingent. The final whistle at the Stade Velodrome saw Russian fans break through the security cordon to assault English fans by kicking and punching them, the majority of whom were seeing fleeing for their own safety by vaulting over the barricades and fences....

A 7-3 aggregate score for the Gunners saw them seal an impressive win against Valencia last night, and Emery’s men are ready to face their city rivals Chelsea in Baku, which would be an all English final. Valencia is a team who rarely concedes a goal or two at home, but Arsenal’s deadly duo of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette made sure they kept zero records for Valencia to be proud of, scoring four past the Spanish side at Mestalla....

The coach insisted that Sparta Prague is a difficult adversary, considering their path to reach the quarterfinals in the Europa League, especially after they eliminated Italian side Lazio. “We’re the favourites, but Sparta Prague come to us after knocking out Krasnodar and Lazio and so we can’t think it’s won,” Marcelino said, emphasising that the Czech team has an effective defence and knows how to take advantages to score more goals....

Reigning British Open champion Molinari defeated five-time major winner Phil Mickelson 4 and 2 to give Europe an insurmountable 14 1/2-9 1/2 lead over the favoured Americans in the biennial team showdown at Le Golf National. “It was amazing,” Molinari said. “It’s an incredible achievement. We did just an amazing job.” In the process, Molinari – who had been winless in six prior Ryder Cup matches – became the first European and only the fourth player ever to go 5-for-5 in a Ryder Cup and did so just two months after hoisting the Claret Jug....
