The Germany international was at the centre of outcry last December when comments aimed at him by Lazio midfielder Senad Lulic sparked accusations of racism, while he has also been the subject of monkey chants from the stands on more than one occasion. ‘Salah isn’t worth £40 million’ Rudiger is not the only Serie A star to have been abused by fans – Sulley Muntari walked off the pitch in similar circumstances during Pescara’s meeting with Cagliari – and he feels more needs to be done....

Sisal Matchpoint has launched the special in the wake of the 20-year-old’s spectacular performances since the turn of the year. The odds are the same for Harry Kane, Gonzalo Higuain, Luis Suarez, Mohamed Salah, Philippe Coutinho or David Silva to win the 2018 prize. Under has been Roma’s standout performer in recent weeks and scored his first Champions League goal on debut in the competition during Wednesday’s 2-1 loss to Shakhtar Donetsk....

“That was a really tough race. I had to have probably one of my best ever drives to keep Mark [Webber] behind and it’s a great feeling to have tamed at least one of the Bulls in Texas as they clearly had the fastest package today. We knew a good start would be the key, so making up one place in the first corner was really important and the car was just fantastic from there onwards,” he said....

If one takes into consideration the physique he had during his debut, Reigns has put in some serious work to get into shape. The Head of the Table looks absolutely dominant with his current physique and is a force to to be reckoned with on the WWE roster. He made his televised entry as Roman Leakee on August 19, 2010, in a 15-man battle royal. WWE and its fans demand excellence in how a superstar appears....

Starting pitcher Sal Romano’s suicide squeeze capped Cincinnati’s six-run fourth inning, and the Reds rallied to beat the Chicago White Sox 7-4 on Wednesday night. “It was nice to be able to contribute with the bat,” said Romano, who was hitting .038 going into the game. “The first thought when I saw the signal, I thought the number one thing was get the ball down wherever the pitch was. I was excited....

The retired quarterback turned NFL broadcaster has tried to qualify for the U.S. Open in the past and boasts an impressive scratch handicap. And the 37-year-old, who was a four-time Pro Bowl player during his career in Dallas, is braced for the mental challenge of a competitive appearance in a new sporting arena. “More than anything, once you get out here you just have to get in your own bubble mentally and get locked in,” Romo said on Tuesday in a news conference....

The poll, which was conducted by Harris/Harvard CAPS, asked respondents who they’d vote for in a hypothetical 2024 Republican primary election if Trump does not run. According to the poll, DeSantis led all other candidates as 30 percent of respondents said they’d vote for him. Following behind DeSantis was former Vice President Mike Pence, who received 25 percent of support from respondents, according to the poll. Among other possible candidates, 13 percent said they’d vote for Texas Senator Ted Cruz, 8 percent said they’d vote for Florida Senator Marco Rubio, 7 percent sided with former U....

The office announced a press conference will be held at 10 a.m. CST Tuesday to discuss the case further. Gasser, 54, was previously taken into custody right after the shooting this past Thursday and was released with no charges after questioning. This led to outcry from a portion of the public, which claimed he was let go because he is white. “Everybody wants to make this about race. This isn’t about race,” Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand said in a press conference the day after the shooting....

Juventus’ busy run of fixtures continues against Genoa on Tuesday, before they host Torino four days later. Ronaldo has played every minute of their four games since the coronavirus-enforced break, while Dybala has started each match. Sarri said the pair were likely ready to start again, but he knows the star duo will need a rest at some stage. “It’s likely that they can start again [against Genoa],” he told a news conference....

Ronaldo rolls back the years with Real The 31-year-old is among the favorites to claim France Football’s award for the world’s best player after a stellar 12 months for club and country. Ronaldo hit 51 goals in 48 matches in all competitions for Real Madrid last season, including 16 in 12 Champions League appearances as Zinedine Zidane’s side won the trophy for the second time in three years. The forward then captained Portugal to its first major title at Euro 2016, scoring three times to help the team reach the final, where a solitary strike from Eder secured a 1-0 win over France....

Los Blancos 3/4 to win La Liga Portuguese publication A Bola claimed Ronaldo was keen on a return to former club Manchester United in the close season due to the 32-year-old’s unhappiness at being investigated for tax fraud by Spanish authorities. Perez claims he shared Ronaldo’s frustration at the ongoing investigation into his financial matters but does not think the 2016 Ballon d’Or winner - currently suspended for domestic action - ever considered a transfer....

Once it became apparent that the Portuguese was looking to take on a new challenge, his agent was charged with the task of finding a potential buyer. With Jorge Mendes having previously conducted business with Napoli, they were among his first ports of call. Ronaldo has claimed on a number of occasions that Juve were always his preferred option when pushing for a switch away from Real Madrid. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner could, however, have ended up in a different Italian destination had the figures involved in a stunning deal not forced one party from the negotiating table....

In an effort to prevent a similar incident to E3 2018, Rocksteady Studios is getting out ahead of Comic-Con and revealing its plans early. Studio director Jamie Walker issued a small statement over Twitter, essentially confirming that as much as people would like to see the next game, it’s not ready yet and therefore won’t be at San Diego Comic-Con. While no doubt disappointing to fans, putting a message like this out now is intended to limit disappointment and prevent any sort of unrealistic expectations from forming....

Dallas and Marinelli have reached an agreement on a deal for him to stay put, according to NFL Network. A staple of the Cowboys’ success despite a lackluster pass rush and the loss of linebacker Sean Lee (torn ACL) before the season, Marinelli’s defense finished the regular season eighth against the run and 15th in points allowed. It’s a big move for the Cowboys, as earlier in the week Marinelli was rumored to be leaving Dallas for the same position in Tampa Bay....

The Valencia striker started on the bench as Sweden entertained Spain at the Friends Arena on Tuesday, having felt discomfort during training before the match. He came on midway through the second half with La Roja trailing to Marcus Berg’s 50th-minute opener at the time and pounced in stoppage-time to secure the 1-1 draw Robert Moreno’s side needed to secure qualification. “The other day I trained with a little pain....

This also perhaps explains why Rolex came up with an ad saying “What makes Wimbledon great: Is it how a lawn became the sport’s definitive battle ground, or how the colour white stands for more than tradition?” The ad ends with these famous lines: “It does not just tell time, it tells history”. The man in the background of the Rolex ad happened to be its most famous brand ambassador, signifying not just the grace of a champion, but also managing to hold time stand still: Roger Federer....

Despite seeing his Grand Slam success rate expectedly dwindle in the 2010s decade compared to his haul in the 2000s, Federer still maintained a win-loss % north of 70% during the 2010s, winning 42 titles from 72 finals in the period. Also read: Federer of the 2000s vs Federer of the 2010s The 2010s decade saw Federer tussle with 155 different opponents, beating all of them bar Evgeny Donskoy (2017 Dubai 3R), Thanasi Kokkinakis (2018 Miami 2R) and Andrey Rublev (2019 Cincinnati 3R)....

The story of how Federer won Thursday is another of those made-for-highlights tales, where the old master fends off the young challenger to prove himself anew. So it was when Federer, a 17-time champion in grand slam events, staged the latest chapter in his story and whipped Gael Monfils. Quixotic, yes. No windmills required. Federer for now is the man of the moment, needing one more victory to challenge the machine-like Novak Djokovic....

“Alex Jones is a good and decent man,” Stone said during an appearance on Infowars in a video that was shared by commentator Ron Filipkowski on Twitter on Friday. “He is a God-fearing Christian…and right now he needs our support.” Stone added that contributions could be made through the Infowars store. Stone, a Donald Trump ally, has been a guest on Infowars many times and allegedly arranged an interview between Jones and Trump together in December 2015, according to The New York Times....
