Pep Guardiola is priceless - Caballero Argentina international Otamendi’s stock is still high in Spain after an impressive season at Valencia in 2014-15 before he joined City for a reported £31.5 million. The 29-year-old has not always convinced at the Etihad Stadium, however, as part of a City backline regularly lacking the calming presence of injury-prone captain Vincent Kompany, and his representative Martin Sendoa told Radio Continental that Otamendi would be interested in a move back to La Liga....

Jackson — who coined phrases such as “Whoa, Nellie!” and “We’ve got a fumble” — was the definitive voice of college football for a generation, especially throughout his career at ABC: You can still hear “The Granddaddy of ’em all” bellowing into the microphone before the Rose Bowl Game, or his monologue when Bear Bryant passed Amos Alonzo Stagg for the most wins in college football history.

New Delhi, April 1 (IANS) Sundaram Ravi, an umpire on the elite panel of the International Cricket Council (ICC), is considered good by world standards. Just like all the umpires, Ravi also made some outstanding decisions and fumbled at times. Poor umpires now cannot escape their omissions and commissions as the television cameras catch everything they do out in the middle. It was cruel to expose Ravi failing to spot a no-ball off the last delivery of a nerve-tingling Indian Premier League (IPL) match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Mumbai Indians (MI) on Thursday....

Ciryl Gane took a strategic approach and pieced up his opponent, Jairzinho Rozenstruik, from outside his range. The French MMA fighter also grappled with Rozenstruik to evade the Surinamese’s patented knockout power. This cautious style of eluding a full-blown head-to-head clash is much like the Francis Ngannou vs Derrick Lewis fight (UFC 226), which is widely regarded as one of the most lackluster fights in UFC heavyweight history. One of Ciryl Gane’s previous opponents, Tanner Boser, has come out in defense of the French fighter....

As developer Josh Wardle told Newsweek in an exclusive interview, the game’s database is comprised of over 2,500 words. This is enough for approximately 7 years’ worth of daily brainteasers, guaranteeing that Wordle will be sticking around for a very long time (provided that users don’t lose interest after it potentially gets locked behind a paywall). To ensure that Wardle himself can play along like everyone else and that he doesn’t have an unfair advantage, the website cycles through these puzzles in a random order....

Created and released by Brooklyn-based software engineer Josh Wardle in October 2021, the game quickly became a global success and was sold to the The New York Times in February. The game’s rules are as follows: Use your six tries to guess the five-letter word of the day, paying attention to Wordle’s color-coded grid system. Generally, the fewer attempts it takes to crack the answer, the better. A letter that’s in the correct position will turn a tile green, while a letter that is included in the answer, but is in the incorrect position, will turn a tile yellow....

The answer is yes and no. A “world’s most wanted” list was once put together by Forbes magazine, which featured three of the five subjects of the Netflix documentary. However, that list has not been updated since 2011—and since that time, one of the people on the list has been killed while another has been jailed. Russian Mafia boss Semion Mogilevich, Casa Nostra head Matteo Messina Denaro and suspected Rwandan genocide financier Félicien Kabuga (who was arrested earlier this year) were on that list and all appear in World’s Most Wanted....

The marchers were protesting a plan that would allow Turkish troops to enter northern Iraq in the wake of a U.S. invasion force. It was one of the largest demonstrations ever held in Kurdish territory and many were surprised by the turnout. “I’ve never seen such a sea of people,” says Dr. Sarbast Tawfiq, 45, a professor of law at Salaheddin University. “It’s a sign of their frustration and anger....

The program is a sequel to the dance competition show Queendom, which raked in incredible success along with its male-equivalent spin-offs, Kingdom: Road to Kingdom and Legendary War. Despite multiple predictions, the lineup received a mixed response. The biggest debut gap between the lineup is the whopping eleven years between veteran soloist Hyolyn and rookie girl group Kep1er. A fan even called the lineup “weirdly unbalanced”. Mnet reveals Queendom 2 lineup, leaves many disappointed Since the participants for Mnet’s Queendom 2 were revealed, the buzz around the show continues to grow....

READ MORE: Is Schweinsteiger about to gain a Man Utd lifeline? The German had been banished to the reserves and was not present for the club’s official team photo, which was released last week, but was in attendance as Wayne Rooney & Co. trained Monday morning. It remains to be seen if this will lead to Schweinsteiger getting minutes on the pitch — he has been included in the submitted Premier League squad — but fans did not wait around to flood Twitter with excitement....

New England boast arguably the greatest ever quarterback and five-time NFL Super Bowl champion Tom Brady, while Barca are able to call upon five-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi, who is regarded as the best footballer in history. The greatest comeback, minute by minute But the two teams stand closer together after Barca completed the greatest comeback in Champions League history, overturning a 4-0 first-leg deficit against Paris Saint-Germain as they claimed a remarkable 6-1 victory to advance to the quarter-finals 6-5 on aggregate....

Warning: This article contains spoilers for ‘Westworld’ Season 4 Episode 6 ‘Westworld’ Season 4’s Daniel Wu Talks Episode 6 Plot Twist Wu’s character Jay was as much a mystery as Perrineau’s C was until it was revealed in Episode 4 that she was really Frankie, Caleb Nichols’ (Aaron Paul) daughter all grown up....

England international Vardy has linked up brilliantly with the Algerian for the past few seasons and transfer interest in Mahrez has been plentiful since he played a key role in Leicester’s 2015-16 Premier League title-winning team. Mahrez handed in a transfer request before the close of the January transfer window but, after he was denied a move to Manchester City, he began to miss training and games . He has been back in the Leicester team since then, but it is expected there will be more interest in the summer, with Mahrez still an option for champions City....

Those were not the words of LeBron James in the last few weeks. They belonged, in fact, to the guy who complained this week that James has been “inappropriate” and “whiny” in criticizing the Cavaliers lately. They belonged to Charles Barkley, uttered in the depths of the 1991-92 season, his final in Philadelphia. That remains one of the whiniest all-time seasons by a star player in the history of the NBA....

Pep Guardiola’s City lead rivals United by eight points, with the Etihad Stadium outfit also receiving plaudits for a free-flowing approach that has seen them net 40 times in 12 league games this term. United 12/5 to net O3.5 vs. Brighton However, Mourinho disputed the suggestion that any side plays with more ambition than his own as United prepare for the visit of Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday....

The former Monaco full-back is expected to be out for around six months having undergone surgery on the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. Mendy suffered the injury while making a tackle in City’s 5-0 win over Crystal Palace, and admits the injury was likely due to him leading with his right leg. Man City -2 8/5 v West Brom That led Guardiola to crack a joke at his expense despite having lost one of his biggest summer signings for the majority of the campaign....

The Premier League champions are 2-1 behind in the last-16 tie ahead of Tuesday’s second leg at the King Power Stadium, but Shakespeare believes Jamie Vardy’s away goal gives them every chance of progressing. And Shakespeare is ruling nothing out if Leicester can secure their place in the last eight of the competition. ‘Ranieri let players police themselves’ Asked if Leicester can win the Champions League, Shakespeare said at his pre-match media conference: “Why not?...

The trailer was also mocked for being rife with the sort of Irish stereotypes that only Americans think are real—the sort of viewers who claim Irish heritage and dye their rivers and beer green for St. Patrick’s Day but have never actually thought of Ireland as a modern place where people live. Unfortunately, the full-length Wild Mountain Thyme does not improve on the promo’s failings. Right from the off, it is a film that fell out of the stereotype tree and hit every branch on the way down—the fact that it does not start with the narrator saying “top o’ the morning t’ ya” is the only thing stopping viewers getting a full house on their paddywhackery cliché bingo card....
