Bjorn says having Woods among the 24 players would bring a special “buzz” to the next edition of the biennial matchup September 28-30 at Le Golf National. “I might put a few noses out of joint by saying, but in my opinion, (he’s) the best player that has ever played the game,” Bjorn said. “If Tiger was included in the US team for the Ryder Cup, it would be great for the game of golf because he just brings something special....

However, since the most ground-breaking victory of her career, Lynch has seen her relevance depend on the status of her physical well-being, specifically her knee injury (which was initially the right knee and then the left). After refusing to undergo a medical check-up, Becky went on attack Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, tugging on the ‘anti-authority’ trope yet again. On the February 11 edition of Raw, Lynch put her pride aside, got cleared and apologized, thus getting her WrestleMania match back....

It’s time for parents to speak up in a collective voice to pressure teachers to get back to work or face losing their jobs or their early vaccine access. Last week, Washington governor Jay Inslee announced teachers would qualify earlier than they were supposed to for vaccine access. In other words, all the talk about equity doesn’t extend to the elderly; a young, tech-savvy teacher with easy access to the internet can get a vaccine they don’t yet need while seniors struggle to log into the confusing websites to find out where vaccines are available....

In post-time-skip One Piece, and especially recently, the playing field has somewhat leveled as far as their relative superiority. Nevertheless, every known Admiral, both current and past, is a force to be reckoned with in one-on-one combat. Here is every Admiral in One Piece, ranked from least to most powerful.

Europe’s Fundamental Rights Agency reported that nine out of 10 Jews believe antisemitism is a serious problem and has increased in their country. As a result, more than one in three people have considered emigrating. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that “the strategy we are presenting today is a step change in how we respond to antisemitism.

Antonio Conte’s tactical masterclass helped Italy qualify for the knockout stages with a game in hand, and the new Chelsea manager will look to rest some of his players. The likes of Stephan El Shaarawy, Simone Zaza and Thiago Motta are likely to play a part in this match, while Italian captain, Gianluigi Buffon, will miss the match due to high fever. Ireland has to win this match if they are to secure a place in the last 16....

The Three Lions kicked off their Euro 2020 campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Croatia on a sunny afternoon at Wembley last week.

The list is topped by La Liga leaders Barcelona followed by arch-rivals Real Madrid....

Immediately many have come to criticise UEFA, stating that this new competition is milking the success and vast sums of money produced by both European competitions. While that criticism is valid, nobody can deny the fact that the Europa League needs fixing and more provisions are necessary for the “lesser” European sides. The third division provides essential fix and support. How it all Works The competition is exactly like its two sister tournaments....

Mourinho may have cast doubts over whether a club of United’s magnitude should at all be playing in Europe’s second tier competition, but that still didn’t overshadow the fact that the home team had an important job on their hands against the Ukranian minnows, especially after slipping up against Feyenoord. Playing at Old Trafford with a near full-strength squad, United huffed and puffed but finally managed to eke out a winning goal thanks to talismanic striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s 69th minute header, and also held off the sporadic attempts of their opposition to claw back into the contest....

Moscow was angered when EU and NATO member Lithuania said it would impose restrictions on Russian goods traveling across its territory to the exclave sandwiched between the Baltic Sea states and Poland. Vilnius argued it was simply applying EU sanctions imposed because of the Ukraine war but Moscow warned of reprisals and demanded the EU force an end to the restrictions. However, the bloc’s executive, the European Commission said on Wednesday that Vilnius had an obligation to allow the rail transit of sanctioned goods—with the exception of weapons—between Russia and its exclave....

The crisis is being driven by high global demand for gas and oil, which has forced up prices as economies reopen after COVID-19 lockdowns. It has been exacerbated in Europe by a reduction in output from the wind power sector. Russia is already Europe’s largest supplier of natural gas and President Vladimir Putin has said his country is “ready” to supply more of the fossil fuel if EU member states require it....

With a tied fifth finish at the WGC-Mexico Championship earlier this month, Belgian Pieters took his FedExCup points to 416, surpassing the points picked up by 150th-ranked player last season and making him eligible for the membership. The 25-year-old, who was a captain’s selection for Europe at the 2016 Ryder Cup, now owns 441 non-member FedExCup points after his tied 30th finish at the WGC-Dell Match Play in Texas last week....

But then the sign-stealing allegations came out and turned all of baseball upside down. The Astros players never seemed truly remorseful for their actions — until Thursday, when Gattis went on The Athletic’s “755 is Real” podcast and spilled his guts. MORE: Three reactions to the rumored MLB season plan “Everybody wants to be the best player in the f—ing world, man … and we cheated that, for sure, and we obviously cheated baseball and cheated fans,” Gattis told hosts David O’Brien and Eric O’Flaherty....

Duford has joined the Lincoln Women arm of the anti-Trump campaign. The announcement of her joining the project comes as her uncle, conservative evangelical leader Franklin Graham, a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump, is slated to speak at the Republican National Convention on Thursday. “I have not spoken to my uncle, but his voice was a large reason for my speaking out,” Duford told Newsweek on Monday. She previously told Forbes for an article published Monday that she sees herself as “speaking to the woman who has always voted Republican but is not sure if they can anymore, but they’re also not sure how they feel about voting Democrat because they’ve never done it....
