The Real Madrid forward remains locked in a personal battle with an eternal rival from Camp Nou for the right to be considered the best player on the planet. When Barcelona nearly sold Messi Ronaldo is the current holder of the Ballon d’Or and favourite to draw level with Messi on five wins apiece in 2017. Stoichkov, though, believes the Argentine holds the advantage when it comes to true icon status, with his talents compared to those of the past while Ronaldo is compared to Messi....

The mercurial 30-year-old forward will be seeking to rectify the one glaring omission on a remarkable sporting CV this summer when he heads to the 2018 World Cup. International honours have so far eluded a man with countless domestic prizes and five Ballons d’Or to his name, with final heartache having been suffered on a global stage and at the Copa America. If Argentina are to go all the way, then they will need a talismanic figure to sparkle and produce a repeat of the inspirational showings which got them to Russia....

The sole vice presidential debate is scheduled to take place October 7 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Pence was in Arizona, aboard Air Force 2, when Biden made his announcement via Twitter, sending the in-flight TVs tuned to Fox News into a breaking news announcement. About 30 minutes later, after a short motorcade ride and at his first public appearance after the news broke, Pence sent a “message” to the new addition to the Democratic ticket: “Congratulations....

The Serbia international is among those reported to be figuring on the Red Devils’ transfer radar as they prepare to make additions in the summer window. A £52.5m ($70m) deal for Brazilian star Fred is close to completion, with Goal confirming that he is in England for a medical, but further reinforcements in the middle of the park may be sought. That could lead Jose Mourinho to Italy and Milinkovic-Savic, with the 23-year-old considered to be ready for a big move after three impressive seasons in Serie A....

The memo was published Tuesday by Just Security, a national security forum based at New York University’s School of Law. The publication outlines what it says are possible crimes that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) could charge Trump with committing. While the memo is only a recommendation of charges and carries no legal weight, the author said that it serves to “enable supervisors and others in the chain of command to review the evidence, anticipate defenses, and assess the strengths and weaknesses of a criminal prosecution....

The MSNBC host’s comments came after The Washington Post and CBS revealed text messages Thursday between Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows in which Thomas urged the top Trump aide to overturn the results of the 2020 election. They also come as some legal experts have urged an investigation and a possible indictment of Trump in connection to his actions related to the January 6 Capitol riot....

Describing multiple comments made on the Chinese movie tickets sites Maoyan Entertainment and Tao Piaopiao, Rebecca Davis of Variety outlined some of the responses to the movie from Chinese viewers. The Mulan remake is projected to earn approximately $38.5 million in China, which is only a fraction of the anticipated box office of other major theatrical releases in the country, such as war movie The Eight Hundred, projected to gross $437 million....

TikToker @leahmaret shared the post of her child in a bouncy seat moving up and down in the seat, which produced a noise, as the baby’s father started to play Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes on guitar. The baby’s bounces corresponded perfectly with the beat of the song in the 17-second clip. “Not our baby keeping perfect time with #TheWhiteStripes,” the post is captioned. “Somebody get this kid a drum set!...

We were inseparable. Every weekend would be spent at each other’s houses or meeting in town, and most evenings we’d chat on the phone for as long as our parents would allow—and we looked out for each other. Due to undiagnosed autism, I’d always found socializing difficult, but when we were together, none of that mattered: we were just friends. Even when her family moved out of the U.K., where we both lived, when we were fourteen, we stayed in touch—no mean feat in the pre-internet mid-’80s!...

I met Tony for the first time on February 7, 2015 at the Evelina London Children’s Hospital. Meeting him was difficult as I hadn’t been told the full story, just that his limbs had been broken. It was very different when I actually saw him— he was this tiny, broken little baby. His legs were still in plaster and the story emerged that he had been in the hospital’s care for three months, and that they hadn’t expected him to survive....

The upcoming third film is titled My Hero Academia The Movie: World Heroes’ Mission. It’s set to release in Japan on August 6, but no overseas release has been confirmed just yet. Watch the first trailer for the third My Hero Academia film below.

The CBS show revealed that rather than a deadbeat dad who had walked out on his family when Nick was a child, Miguel Torres claimed he has spent his whole life working super-dangerous undercover missions for various government agencies, including the CIA. Torres also learned his dad had been watching over him all this time, secretly providing money for the family. Just as Torres thought his father was ready to make up for lost time and try and rebuild their relationship, Miguel stood him up, leading to Torres visiting his surrogate father, the still suspended Gibbs (Mark Harmon)....

In the new NCIS episodes, we will learn how the team copes with Ellie Bishop’s (played by Emily Wickersham) exit, introduce new cast members…and of course learn what happened to Gibbs (Mark Harmon) after he faked his own death. There is also big changes outside of the plot of the show. NCIS Season 19 is moving from Tuesdays to a new release night on CBS, where it will be joined by a new spin-off....

SAFE AND SOUND, read headlines across Europe. There was, naturally, widespread relief that no child and no teacher was physically hurt. And the undercover police probably acted in “legitimate defense,” as the lawyerly phrase would have it. Bejaoui was armed and dangerous–why take risks with a man carrying a hand grenade? Bejaoui even survived the shooting, apparently by sheer luck. He is now listed in stable condition. Yet the way in which the drama ended raises disturbing questions for Europeans who are proud that they’ve banned capital punishment, and appalled by it in other countries....

Yet even though Trump was defeated, it’s clear that the president’s brand of divisive tweeting and disparaging nick-name politics is here to stay. Biden won by a popular vote margin of more than 6 million votes, but Trump still gained nearly 11 million votes compared to his 2016 victory. Besides Biden, the president received more individual votes than any other presidential candidate in history. Meanwhile, the vocal conservative opponents of Trump—dubbed “Never Trumpers”—are dismayed, but not surprised by the president’s takeover of their party....

Whether it’s rescued kitties and cats sitting by their side as they work, or cats so memorable they inspired tattoos, the Newsweek staff has an adorable fleet of felines. Granted, you will not a photo of a cat from me, because I’m extremely allergic, and my eyes are already watering looking at these pictures. The only cat I’ve ever really loved is the one from The Weakerthans song. Here are photos of the cats that the Newsweek staff love and adore, and what their humans had to say about them....

According to Sky, the striker will sign a contract with Serie A side Genoa after completion of a medical, sealing yet another comeback in a career blighted by medical issues. Inter 10/1 to win Serie A Rossi suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in April while on loan at Celta Vigo, leading to concerns his playing career could be over. But the 30-year-old has now recovered, and took to Twitter on Tuesday to declare: “Next stop…....

While some struggle with their increased drug dosage, other guests are building news connections and finding love. Meanwhile, last week’s revelation that the Marconis are starting to see their dead son and brother is built on here as Masha makes a promise that sounds too good to be true. Episode 6 of the eight-part series, “Motherlode,” really ramps up the action and progresses the plot, so strap in as we look back on the latest episode of Nine Perfect Strangers airing now on Hulu....

Combining death-defying stunts with surprisingly tender moments, there’s no denying No Time to Die was in many ways a respectful conclusion to Craig’s tenure. However, there were also many notable scenes that felt frivolous and nonsensical. WARNING: Major No Time to Die spoilers ahead 1. Lambs to the slaughter 007 has no qualms when it comes to killing men and women in the name of international security, but when it comes to mowing down a herd of sheep, he buckles under pressure and desperately swerves to avoid killing the animals....
