A disappointing World Cup campaign in 2014 continues to haunt the ardent Selecao faithful even to the day, so there’s a nagging feeling of unfinished business for the team. Winning the tournament would obviously exorcise the ghosts, but would have to do so without services of the talismanic Neymar, who succumbed to an unfortunate injury in a recent friendly, cruelly ruling him out of the competition. However, he isn’t the only high-profile name who will now be watching the competition at home....

Winners on home soil two years ago, the Seleção hit the ground running in this year’s tournament, which is again being played in Brazil after Argentina and Colombia were stripped of hosting rights due to a surge in COVID-19 cases and civil unrest respectively. Goals from Neymar, his Paris Saint-Germain teammate Marquinhos and Gabriel Barbosa gave the five-time world champion a comfortable 3-0 win against Venezuela in the tournament’s opener on Sunday....

In case you didn’t know… Deportivo Alaves, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Celta Vigo are the four teams left remaining in the competition. Celta produced the shock of the tournament by defeating Real Madrid 4-3 in two legs of the quarterfinals to progress, while Barcelona comfortably swept Real Sociedad away by a 6-2 margin over both legs. Deportivo Alaves put aside 2nd division side Alcorcon to progress, making only their 5th ever appearance in the semifinal stage....

The Seahawks held a video call amid the coronavirus pandemic, and they took the chance to introduce one of their new recruits, Greg Olsen.

It’s also important to maintain standard safe swimming practices, such as: Not swimming with an opening woundNot swimming with a contagious infection (pink eye, hepatitis A)Not sharing pool or beach towelsShowering before swimming...

It has already spread throughout China and is now rampant in the UK, USA, Australia and much of Europe. With major sporting events and competitions already being canceled and postponed in efforts to prevent further spread of the virus, questions have been raised about the possibility of the cancellation of this season’s Premier League and how it could potentially affect title hopeful Liverpool.

Though their Facebook page is private, a screen capture of the post was widely shared.

The post is in response to viral videos of people in Brooklyn and Harlem mocking and splashing police with water....

We here at Corrupted Saves don’t mean to poke fun at the fine folks over at Electronic Arts just because they’ve released more potential hours of driving through the Need for Speed series than some people will actually drive in their entire lives.

Brazilian-born Costa switched allegiance to Spain ahead of the 2014 World Cup despite having played two friendlies for the country of his birth. The Chelsea star struggled badly as the then-reigning world champions were the first side eliminated from the competition and he failed to make Vicente del Bosque’s squad for Euro 2016. But Lopetegui has brought the 28-year-old back into the fold and he scored his fourth goal of the qualification campaign for Russia 2018 in Spain’s 4-1 win over Israel on Friday....

The former president’s new social media platform was launched on the Apple App Store on Monday, with a full rollout expected by late March. It had long been reported that Truth Social may look very similar to the social network that banned Trump in the wake of the January 6 riot. However, the launch proved that Truth Social’s interface is even closer to that of Twitter than other self-styled “free speech” platforms such as Gab, Gettr and Parler....

Both Miller and Bradley have taken similar paths to become the dominant bullpen arms they are and have more in common than it seems. Miller was taken in the first round of the MLB Draft in 2006 — No. 6 overall by the Tigers. Bradley was selected with the seventh overall pick in 2011 by the Diamondbacks. Both were selected as starting pitchers and were among the most highly touted arms of their draft class....

A 25-year-old man was arrested at the scene of the stabbing, and police said that counterterrorism officers were leading the investigation into the attack on Conservative lawmaker David Arness. The suspect was not identified but is being held on suspicion of murder. “The investigation is in its very early stages,” Essex Police Chief Constable Ben-Julian Harrington said. For more reporting from The Associated Press, see below. The slaying came five years after another MP, Jo Cox, was murdered by a far-right extremist in her small-town constituency, and it renewed concern about the risks politicians run as they go about their work representing voters....

Mary Chapin Carpenter, who releases her fifth album, Stones in the Road (Columbia), on Oct. 4, is the rare performer who is of her audience, not above it. Over the past few years, Carpenter has not only helped drag country music into the ’90s, but has become the Everywoman. She doesn’t dress ultrachic; she doesn’t have hair that looks as if it were twisted into shape by three sets of hands....

Last October, the committee began its investigation into the Commanders’ workplace culture and allegations that the NFL mishandled abuse reports. The panel is also investigating sexual misconduct accusations made by a former employee against Snyder.
