Ryan Gravenberch hailed as 'special player' by Pep Lijnders

Image
Liverpool assistant Pep Lijnders has heaped praise on midfielder Ryan Gravenberch after his hot start to life at Anfield. The Reds paid around £35m to sign Gravenberch from Bayern Munich, where the Dutch midfielder managed just three Bundesliga starts in his first season, and have already seen him become a key part of the Liverpool starting lineup. Initially tasked with proving himself in cup com Pet itions, Gravenberch bagged two goals and an assist in three Europa League Game s and has now started Liverpool's last two Premier League Game s as he continues to showcase the sort of form that excited so many during his time at Ajax. Lijnders, taking the place of Jurgen Klopp for Tuesday's press conference, was full of praise for the 21-year-old. "We knew what he is capable of," Lijnders said. "It is the Ryan Gravenberch of Ajax that we see now. "I'm not sure what happened at Bayern, you cannot judge that, but each player with confidence and without confi

A rise in antisemitism since Hamas' Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel is part of "preexisting increase ... around the world," Alejandro Mayorkas said A rise in antisemitism since Hamas' Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel is part of " preexisting increase ... in the United States and around the world," Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told a Senate committee on Tuesday. "Hamas terrorists horrifically attacked thousands of innocent men, women and children in Israel on Oct. 7, brutally murdering, wounding and taking hostages of all ages," Mayorkas said. "In the days and weeks since, we have responded to an increase in threats against Jewish, Muslim and Arab-American communities and institutions across our country." The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Tuesday gathered security leaders to address a range of threats to the U.S., including those stemming from the Israel-Hamas war.

The Washington Post plans to cut 240 jobs through the offering of voluntary buyouts in the coming weeks NEW YORK -- The Washington Post plans to cut 240 jobs through the offering of voluntary buyouts, the newspaper announced Tuesday. In an email sent to staff, interim CEO Patty Stonesifer said that The Post had been “overly optimistic” about growth projections for the past two years and into 2024. “We are working to find ways to return our Business to a Health ier place in the coming year,” she wrote. Stonesifer said that the buyouts would be offered to certain jobs and departments, but didn't specify which ones. Eligible employees will be notified after an all-staff meeting Wednesday morning, she said, and can later choose to decline or accept the separation package in the coming weeks. "A much larger group of employees will receive the offer, but acceptances will be capped at approximately 240 people," Stonesifer wrote. She added that the company was taking the volunt

Kopa Trophy: what is it, nominees and who has won it before

In 2022, Barcelona’s Gavi won. Before him came Pedri, De Ligt and Mbappé, the French sensation taking the inaugural crown. I am, of course, referring to the Kopa Trophy, the award for being voted the world’s best player under the age of 21, part of the Ballon d’Or celebrations. The 2023 edition will once again see the winner of this award picked by the previous winners of the Ballon d’Or that are still alive , and this includes the likes of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Franz Becke NBA uer and Ronaldinho.

Erik ten Hag explains how Man Utd game plan unravelled in derby defeat

Image
Erik ten Hag has claimed his Game plan for the Manchester derby was going "how we wanted" before United limped to a 3-0 defeat to rivals City on Sunday. The Red Devils started brightly in the opening ten minutes at Old Trafford but then fell behind to Erling Haaland's penalty midway through the first half as the gap in quality began to show. United may have gone into half-time on level terms had Scott McTominay not been denied by City goalkeeper Ederson but instead the deficit grew when Haaland grabbed his second in the 49th minute. The performance from Ten Hag's side dropped off during the second half as City asserted their dominance with a third from Phil Foden late on. Although he would not give an opinion on the decision from referee Paul Tierney, Ten Hag pointed towards the awarding of a penalty for Rasmus Hojlund's pull on Rodri as the turning point in the match.

NBA Player Props Today - Best Scoot Henderson Props | Pickswise

What a glorious day for Sports fans! NFL action will occur all day with no teams on byes, and the first Sunday of the NBA season is here. You know where to find our NFL player props but let’s also dive into my favorite NBA player prop bet for Sunday, October 29. Scoot Henderson (POR) Under 23.5 points + rebounds + assists (-111) Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing. Don’t get me wrong, Scoot Henderson will be a star in the league, but he has struggled to start his NBA career. Through his first two games, Henderson has turned the ball over 9 times – tied for 10th-most in the association. He’s 8 for 23 from the field and has attempted only 1 free throw. Henderson and the Trail Blazers will have their hands full against the defensive-minded Philadelphia 76ers, who come in as 9.5-point favorites in their season opener. Good luck, Scoot. With Anfernee Simons sidelined for a handful of months, Henderson will be leaned upon much more. I don’t think that time i

Sand, gravel, snow: Latest sports cars can go off-roading too

It's too late to put in an order for one of the 1,499 Huracan Sterratos Lamborghini is making. It was an outlandish concept. Take a Lamborghini Huracan -- a low-slung, outrageously fast coupe -- and transform it into an "all-terrain super sports car." Lamborghinis are built for racetracks, not gravel, sand and mud. The company's execs, however, had a hunch that enthusiasts would pay up for a limited-edition Huracan that could be driven 12 months a year -- including in snow and sleet -- without getting stuck, scrapped or towed. Earlier this year, the Italian automaker started production of the Huracan Sterrato, a $279,000 Sports car with serious 'tude that can be slung around implausible locales. Every single unit -- all 1,499 -- is sold out. "Before people would ask, 'Who needs an off-roading Huracan?'" Rouven Mohr, chief technical officer of Lamborghini, told ABC News. "I am not surprised by the demand. I was convinced people would love it

Mick Jagger attended today’s El Clásico between Barcelona and Real Madrid in Barcelona. The Rolling Stones star was spotted alongside fellow Stones legend Ronnie Wood ahead of today’s LaLiga fixture in Catalonia. Jagger and Wood were seen singing and clapping along to their very own “Start Me Up” before the Game between Spain’s two biggest clubs got underway. The British band played in front of a packed house at Atlético Madrid’s Cívitas Metropolitano stadium in the summer of 2022, with several Spanish soccer stars in attendance, including former Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos. Real Madrid beat Barcelona in El Clásico Barcelona took the lead in El Clásico on Saturday thanks to a first-half goal from midfielder Ilkay Gundogan, who was playing in his first ever Clásico. But then it was time for Jude Bellingham, who grabbed a second-half double to give Madridistas bragging rights with a 2-1 away win.

NCAAF Oregon vs Utah Same Game Parlay Picks at +600 odds | Pickswise

We’re in for what should be a terrific Game out west when the Oregon Ducks head to Salt Lake City for a date with the Utah Utes. There are Pac-12 and College Football Playoff implications on the line, as the winner will have the inside track on both fronts. This is a spot where the underdog is certainly barking in a rivalry Game , and I’m leaning in that direction as well.  Here is my Oregon vs Utah Same Game Parlay for Saturday’s matchup, which will be televised starting at 3:30 pm ET on FOX. Also, be sure to check out our full Oregon vs Utah predictions . Utah +6.5 (-110) Under 47.5 (-110) Troy Franklin over 75.5 yards (-115)   Same Game Parlay odds: +600 One of the benefits of Same Game Parlays, of course, is that you can juice the odds up by not correlating the plays. That is some of the plan here, as a Utah cover can correlate with the under, but doesn’t correlate with Troy Franklin going over his receiving numbers.  Utah Utes +6.5 over Oregon Ducks (-110) For all the
