“I prefer to not play an English team, but I don’t care who,” Can said after his Liverpool side advanced to the last eight of Europe’s top for the first time since 2009. But his Brazilian team-mate feels like a clash against another Premier League side could be just the draw the Reds want to continue their advancement in the competition. With as many as four Premier League teams on pace to be in the quarter-finals, two Premier League sides being paired is a distinct possibility, and Firmino believes that Liverpool’s record against the top sides in the English top flight would bode well....

The former Southampton player played a crucial role as Liverpool held firm to secure a 2-1 win over Manchester City at the Etihad, to consolidate on a 3-0 first-leg win. And the 26-year-old has been recognised after scooping 51 percent of the votes cast to beat off competitions from Edin Dzeko [Roma], Mario Mandzukic [Juventus] and Arjen Robben [Bayern Munich] to win the prize. The former Salzburg player has been impressive for the Reds this season scoring 16 goals across all competitions in 37 appearances....

Liverpool target should reject them The Reds are yet to score against Sunday’s visitors to Anfield in three attempts this season. They were held to a goalless draw at St Mary’s in the reverse fixture and lost both legs of the League Cup semi-final by a 1-0 margin. LIVERPOOL INJURIES Philippe Coutinho is still shaking off the dead leg he suffered in the 1-0 win at Watford, but will be in contention on Sunday....

The Egyptian has a minor groin niggle having limped off in the 2-1 win over Leicester City, while the Brazilian playmaker nurses a sore thigh with the England international replacing him in the centre of the park. Jurgen Klopp has made seven changes to the XI with Dominic Solanke leading the line and Roberto Firmino held in reserve. Simon Mignolet replaces Loris Karius in goal, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ragnar Klavan added to the rearguard....

The Reds have won seven out of seven in the league, meaning the motive for the Foxes is pretty clear. With four wins from their last five, Brendan Rodgers and his troops have themselves discovered a propitious version of their methods. However, upstaging this Liverpool outfit would be an uphill task, more so because they have not beaten the European champions in any of their previous eight attempts at Anfield....

The Brazilian playmaker has been linked with a big-money move to Camp Nou for some time now, with the transfer talk intensifying on the back of Neymar’s record-breaking €222 million switch to Paris Saint-Germain. Coutinho 6/4 to join Barcelona One offer of £72m has already been knocked back by the Reds, with Jurgen Klopp regularly stating his desire to keep Coutinho at Anfield. Souness, though, fears that the 25-year-old will seek a switch if a suitable offer is tabled, forcing Liverpool to reluctantly sanction a sale....

Led by 85 from Livingstone’s fellow Englishman Alex Hales, the Thunder had set the hosts 154 to win on Monday. But a magnificent opening stand of 136 from Livingstone and Josh Inglis (58) ensured the Scorchers made a strong response to losing back-to-back matches against the Melbourne Stars. The Scorchers are now one point clear of the Thunder, with both teams in contention to reach the playoffs with two matches each left to play....

Trump told thousands of his supporters at a rally in Texas on Saturday that rioters who stormed the Capitol in an apparent effort to disrupt the formal certification of President Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory are being treated “so unfairly.” He later floated the idea that they would receive “pardons” if he becomes president again. Republican Cheney, a fierce critic of Trump and the vice chair of the nine-person committee investigating the deadly January 6 riot, responded to the remarks on Twitter....

Cheney, the daughter of former GOP Vice President Dick Cheney, is a staunch conservative who voted with former President Donald Trump more than 90 percent of the time. Although they occasionally sparred over foreign policy differences, the Republican lawmaker appeared to be largely aligned with the former president until he refused to admit defeat after the 2020 election. Then, the Wyoming lawmaker drew Trump’s wrath after she joined nine other Republican House members in voting to impeach him for inciting his supporters to attack the U....

Cheney, who chairs the House Republican Conference, came out firmly in favor of Trump’s impeachment after the former president incited his supporters to attack the U.S. Capitol on January 6. The Wyoming congresswoman has repeatedly condemned Trump since that vote, drawing the ire of many fellow GOP lawmakers who continue to support him. “Liz Cheney has promised she will campaign on impeaching Trump ’every day of the week.’ Good luck with that, Liz!...

Llorente has had to settle for a bit-part role since joining Spurs from Swansea City in 2017, making only one Premier League start for the club. And the former Juventus and Sevilla forward would be tempted should Athletic - for whom he scored 83 goals in 262 LaLiga outings between 2005 and 2013 - come calling. “My priority is to feel important in a team,” he told El Larguero de la SER....

Since the founding of our country, and especially after World War II, the United States of America has taught the world through servant leadership that tyrannical governments are evil. We still remember Adolf Hitler’s campaign to end the Jewish people and the Soviet Union’s bid to spread Marxism through Russia and Eastern Europe. Today, as a result of Putin’s actions, over 5 million Ukrainians have been needlessly forced from their homeland as refugees....

A LockBit “Partner” Was Allegedly Behind the SickKids Attack On December 18, 2022, Canadian research hospital SickKids suffered a ransomware attack that affected the hospital website, phone lines, and certain systems. In a SickKids website post, it was stated that there was “no evidence that personal information or personal health information [was] impacted.” This was followed up by an additional SickKids post, wherein readers were informed that “Some patients and families may still experience diagnostic and/or treatment delays while SickKids works to restore all systems....

Loeffler is being challenged by Democrat Raphael Warnock in a runoff in Georgia, with the future of both the state’s Senate seats to be determined in this manner. Polling has shown the pair are almost tied in the race, which has gained national attention because of the impact it will have on control of the Senate. Laura Ingraham on Fox News asked Loeffler how she wanted people to vote, given Republican concerns about mail-in voting in the 2020 elections....

Paul, along with his brother Jake, have been successful Internet personalities since 2013. Logan has been a part of several controversies including tasering dead rats, playing into the eating Tide Pods trend, and filming a suicide victim inside of Japan’s Aokigahara forest. His boxing career began in 2018 with YouTuber Joe Weller before he fought British YouTuber KSI twice, the first time ending in a tie, and the second ending in a loss....

After a sensational 2017, Vasiliy Lomachenko makes his 2018 debut on Saturday, May 12, as he moves up in weight to challenge Jorge Linares for the WBA lightweight championship from Madison Square Garden in New York. Lomachenko, 30, went 3-0 last year, making Jason Sosa, Miguel Marriaga and Guillermo Rigondeaux quit on their stools. Both Lomachenko and Linares were hoping to face former WBC lightweight champion Mikey Garcia, who chose to move up 140 pounds and captured the WBC junior welterweight title from Sergey Lipinets in March....

London Mayor Sadiq Khan said the situation is now critical amid rising numbers of patients being admitted with COVID-19. Khan made the emergency declaration to fast-track national help for the National Health Service (NHS), which he said was on the verge of running out of beds. “I have declared a major incident in London because the threat this virus poses to our city is at crisis point,” he tweeted. “One in 30 Londoners now has COVID-19....

Let’s go back in the history of the Olympic Games before the Internet to see how the communication evolved from birds to tweets. Dating back to centuries, it all began with pigeons. From 776 B.C. games until 384 A.D., Roman Emperor Theodosius I had put a ban on the Olympics so that he could impose Christianity as a state religion. During that time, pigeons were the main source used to spread news....

Romualdo Macedo Rodrigues told Record TV, a Brazilian broadcaster, that he embarked on what was supposed to be a three-day fishing trip when his vessel sank, The Independent reported. Unable to swim, he jumped inside a freezer from his boat and floated in the Atlantic Ocean before eventually being rescued. “I saw [the freezer] wasn’t sinking. I jumped [and] it fell to one side and kept normal,” Rodrigues reportedly told Record TV....

YouTube user Trevor Thomas uploaded the latest preseason hype video on Tuesday, highlighting a Texas team looking to reclaim Longhorn relevance. To instill grit instead of glamor. It’s a bit heavy-handed, but hey, it’s a hype video; nuance never gets the blood pumping. The seven-minute video — a short film in 2015 — starts off with words from current ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith and former ESPN personality Lou Holtz, but don’t let that dissuade you, Longhorn nation....
