Former Germany skipper Lahm caused considerable surprise by confirming the current campaign will be his last when he spoke to reporters in the aftermath of Tuesday’s 1-0 win over Wolfsburg in the DFB-Pokal. Hummels understands Lahm retirement The 33-year-old, who made his 500th Bayern appearance against Schalke last weekend, stated he was unsure whether he would be able to retain his best form beyond May. Speaking at a news conference to preview his side’s trip to Ingolstadt on Saturday, head coach Ancelotti confirmed it was Lahm’s commitment to maintaining his high standards that featured prominently in their own discussions....

Its popularity is largely due to the fighters who come from all corners of the world. Still, The Ultimate Fighter is one of the main recruiting grounds for the promotion and boasts several champions. During the interview, Arthur Kade asked White to remark on the return of The Ultimate Fighter after a hiatus of two years and complimented the successful feeder system the UFC has put in place....

And then on March 13, 2020, everything shut down due to the pandemic. My son was six, my daughter was eight, and my eldest daughter was 12. They all got handed a Chromebook for class, and that was the beginning of what I call “Zoom school.” My husband, John, and I had already been thinking that we didn’t want our kids to be so plugged in, and now they literally had to be in front of a screen for hours every day....

Cantlay, who was rumored to join LIV alongside Xander Schauffele, said that he is staying on the American circuit. Unlike many other high-profile PGA Tour players, the American seems content just knowing that he has interest from the rebel side. Dismissing speculations about him defecting to the controversial series, Cantlay said that he views it as competition. Speaking ahead of the PGA Tour’s Sentry Tournament of Champions in Hawaii, Patrick Cantlay said that he never planned to make the move to LIV....

Dembele became the highest-profile transfer of the summer window for the Blaugrana in August as he completed a deal worth €105 million from Borussia Dortmund. Barca 5/4 with dabblebet to win La Liga The move came after just one season in the Bundesliga, but Dembele in fact had the chance to join Barca in 2016 as he was making a name for himself at Rennes. The Catalans certainly would have shelled out less if the transfer had come 12 months ago, but the young France international is convinced he made the right decision....

When I started a new contract bringing in convoys of medical supplies and generators from places like Jordan and Kuwait, we would be hit every day. It could be anything from a roadside bomb to a full ambush. Every vehicle had to carry two body bags, that’s not normal on a private security job. I did that for just over a year, and then I went to Afghanistan and spent two years working for what used to be The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) looking after the British government....

“I felt within the club, especially from the president, that I was no longer considered in the same way as I was at the beginning,” Ronaldo said in an interview with France Football magazine. “For the first four or five years, I felt like Cristiano Ronaldo. Less so after. “The president looked at me in a way that suggested I was no longer indispensable, if you know what I mean....

Jammie Rush, a mother of seven from Fresno, California, got to experience this feeling not once, but twice, with two of her daughters. Now, her children and grandchildren are growing up together just like siblings. Rush got pregnant with her first daughter when she was just 19 years old. Now, 25 years and seven children later, she’s just turned 44 and had decided she’s done having babies for good....

The 37-year-old was not a certain start after injuring his ankle in Melbourne City’s loss to Sydney FC 12 days ago, but lasted 66 minutes of Wednesday night’s 3-1 home win over Honduras. Melbourne 5/4 to beat Brisbane The former Everton man, who holds the all-time Australian goal scoring record, credits the national team for keeping him young. “To help my country qualify for four World Cups is something I will be proud of when I get older…even older," said Cahill....

I had intended to stay in the tent just to experience it; to see why all the tenants love it so much. Little did I know that I’d end up wanting to live in it because the experience was so amazing. Things weren’t always so serene, though. In 2012, I was employed at the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park as a motor vehicle operator and I was desperate to do what I love....

My mom came from a rural village in Ireland where in the 1950s they didn’t have much, so she would keep and mend everything and forage from the land. Growing up, I would use the leaves of Silver Birch trees to make chips. You eat them when they come into season, which in the U.K. is March or April, when the leaves are young. I would pick the leaves, fry them in oil and add my own flavours, like chilli, salt or pepper....

I was quite surprised since I wasn’t someone who had followed the royal family particularly closely, but by 2006 I had become known for painting portraits, and, in my mind anyway, was an edgy, contemporary portraitist. At that time, Prince Philip had begun to be seen in a slightly caricatured way, and I felt some recent paintings of him were influenced by that. Yet if you create a really good portrait, they become a historical document, especially with people like him who don’t give themselves up to being interviewed very often....

Soon after joining it became clear just how many people wanted to pursue the same career as I did, so eventually I lost that dream. I decided to do something more straightforward and practical. After graduating, I secured a place at a prestigious business school in Oslo. I was good with numbers and thought a career in finance could be a good fit for me. I knew working in that kind of industry can be very lucrative....

He suffered a torn ACL in his left knee in the third quarter and went on to miss the entire 2019-20 NBA season....

She recounted many of them, describing some of her favorite meetings while talking to Stephen Colbert on The Late Show. The show’s host brought up the time when Biles met President Barack Obama, which is a fond memory for the gymnast. The President was pictured alongside several American gymnasts attempting to do a split. Wearing suit and tie, he tried his best but didn’t get much further than a lunge....

Saretta further stressed that he “likes” the way World No. 1 Novak Djokovic plays during “difficult moments” and comes out as a winner. Despite hinting that Djokovic is the GOAT for him, Saretta feels that the number of Grand Slam titles won by each member of the big three will be the biggest determining factor for deciding who is GOAT. As of now, Nadal leads the Grand Slam race with 21 Majors after his glory at the 2022 Australian Open, a tournament where Djokovic didn’t feature....

Smith claimed on “First Take” that the 19-year-old forward lacked work ethic and had an attitude problem. He said: Steve Kerr quickly defended his young player on “The TK Show” podcast with The Athletic’s Tim Kawakami (h/t Heavy.com). Kerr was baffled by Stephen A. Smith’s intel about Jonathan Kuminga. The Golden State Warriors head coach praised Kuminga for the work he has done this offseason to improve his game. Kerr said:...

The taste of fish, even now, is just overwhelming and the textures really put me off. I can’t be near seafood and I remember being in the family fish and chip shop thinking: “how can people like fish, but I don’t?” My parents have told me that I was a difficult eater and that they tried lots of different strategies to encourage me to eat different foods. But growing up in the ’80s, apparently I lived on sweetcorn, tomato soup and crisps....

Giroud scored with a brilliant overhead kick in the 85th minute to see Arsene Wenger’s men to a 1-0 victory in Belgrade. The France international said he would have preferred to link up with a team-mate, but he had no options before he superbly put his effort into the top corner. “In that position, I can control the ball and try to play with another team-mate,” Giroud told UEFA....

Meanwhile, Simmons is now officially a Brooklyn Nets point guard.
