He’s hardly had a chance to breathe for the 270 days since. After that monthlong U.S. national team camp, the center back reported for MLS preseason with Sporting Kansas City in February. His legs racked up more mileage during a spring slate packed with MLS and CONCACAF Champions League matches. And Besler endured another month of arduous training sessions before starting all four games for his country at the World Cup in Brazil....
This is without question the most difficult post I have had to do. It’s being reported this morning/afternoon that the only thing between the Fulham captain and Ewood Park is a medical which will take place shortly (slash may have already happened). Murphy, now 35 years old, is a free agent at the end of the month and, like Andrew Johnson and Pavel Pogrebnyak before him, has not been able to come to a new contract agreement with Martin Jol and the Fulham brass....
The setup for Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights is a simple one, even if there are some wrinkles thrown in regarding the protagonist as a non-combatant. However, much like the Dark Souls games that inspired it, Land’s End holds a great many secrets. Lily has a reason for being there, even if she doesn’t remember it. The player can learn much of what has befallen the once-grand nation, and they can use what they’ve uncovered to choose one of three endings....
On the left stands a metallic statue with a motorcycle gas tank for a head, rocker arms for limbs, and other vehicle pieces such as transmission cylinders forming parts of the body. On the right, not nearly as tall but just as telling, rests the 2011 Darlington Southern 500 trophy. Those two items symbolize everything that one needs to know about the mission and atmosphere at Furniture Row Racing. Cool, innovative machinery....
Solar power is a promising source of renewable energy. The amount of sunlight that hits the Earth’s surface in just one hour and a half is enough to handle the entire planet’s energy consumption for a whole year, according to the U.S. Solar Energy Technologies Office. One of the difficulties of solar power is trying to harness this energy. The other problem is how to keep it going when the sun goes down....
Gareth Southgate’s men face Croatia in the Nations League in Rijeka on Friday, in a rematch of their World Cup semi-final. It will see England again come up against Modric, FIFA’s Best Men’s Player, and team-mate Rakitic, two of the world’s leading midfielders. But Barkley, who is back in the England squad, said Southgate’s side were capable of matching Croatia’s star duo. “It’s a big challenge but just like any other player you come up against you’ve got to treat every player with the same respect....
After failing to qualify for Euro 2008, an inquest into development took place in English football, with the Football Association (FA) looking to other nations such as Germany and Spain for inspiration. It took time for obvious results to be made, with the senior side only really starting to see the benefit at this year’s World Cup when they reached the semi-finals for the first time since 1990, but youth success in recent years suggests that even better results could be on the horizon....
Despite winning 4-0, England laboured at times during their victory over Malta on Friday, as two goals from Harry Kane and further strikes by Ryan Bertrand and Danny Welbeck ensured a flattering scoreline. And Southgate said players and fans must share the responsibility for creating a winning atmosphere at Wembley. “It’s a great opportunity for us, a home game,” said Southgate. “It’s a great opportunity for the Wembley crowd to get behind us as well....
The left-handed Duckett scored 56 in the second innings against Bangladesh in Dhaka but has accumulated just 54 runs in six innings since. Ashwin, the world’s top-ranked bowler, dismissed him three times in Rajkot and Visakhapatnam and the 22-year-old appears to have technical flaws in his defence against spinners. “I think he’s got a special talent,” England coach Trevor Bayliss said after the side lost by 246 runs on Monday to go 1-0 down in the series....
Ashwin top scoring with 29 and 31 in both the innings at Lord’s speaks volumes about the helpless state India have put themselves in. Things do not augur well for the Indian camp if they persist with the tactics which have dug their grave. Some bizarre groundless stratagems adopted by the Kohli and Shastri duo has backfired in mammoth proportions and no one will be more disappointed than Kohli himself....
Empoli come into this game on the back of a 4-1 loss to Gabriele Cioffi’s Udinese in the league. A first-half own goal from Albania international Ardian Ismajli and second-half goals from Spanish forward Gerard Deulofeu, Argentine winger Ignacio Pussetto and German midfielder Lazar Samardzic secured the win for Udinese. Striker Andrea Pinamonti scored the goal for Empoli. Napoli, on the other hand, drew 1-1 against Jose Mourinho’s Roma in the league....

The sighting was recorded by fisherman Josh Trosvig, who has sailed in the region for decades. It was later confirmed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), who said Trosvig’s images were the first visual evidence of the endangered whales in the Bering Sea during winter. “I took the time to take these pictures and video because the encounter was unique to me. I have watched many thousands of whales feeding in the 35 years I have sailed the North Pacific and Bering, yet none like this,” Trosvig, who captains the cod fishing vessel Cerulean, told NOAA....
Speaking with former British Foreign Minister Jeremy Hunt in a Chatham House webinar on Thursday, Kissinger said that “endless” competition between the world’s two largest economies risks unforeseen escalation and subsequent conflict, a situation made more dangerous by artificial intelligence and futuristic weaponry. Kissinger, now aged 97, served as both secretary of state and national security advisor under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. Kissinger was one of the most influential Cold War figures and is credited with thawing relations with both the Soviet Union and communist China....
Alford more than once has been the target of Enfield's not-so-veiled criticisms, including one in October when Enfield famously warned his players about the team's new up-tempo pace. "We play up-tempo basketball here," he said. "If you want to play slow, go to UCLA." That remark was the spark. His recent comments to a room full of USC boosters ignited the flame war. "I don't worry about them," said Enfield in a report by Men's Journal when asked about competing with Alford for recruits....
With this very statement, James Kip Finch subtly summed up the prominence of an engineer by not mentioning fields in which an engineer would have made history. Probably he knew that an engineer would one day break the record of most wickets by an Indian bowler in Tests - Anil Kumble. Maybe! Well, Anil Kumble wasn’t the only one to break into the field of cricket after pursuing his majors in engineering....
Tottenham’s all-time leading goal-scorer reiterated his desire to boot balls in the NFL at some point after his career in an interview with Fox’s Tom Rinaldi. Kane, 29, is one of world football’s biggest stars, a gifted playmaker and goalscorer. He’s also a die-hard NFL fan, one who has kept up with the game for years. Kane has been a regular fixture at NFL London games in the past, even popping up at his home ground to watch the Vikings beat the Saints at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium earlier this year....
