Coutinho scored as Liverpool came from behind to beat Stoke 2-1 in the Premier League on Saturday and keep their top-four chances intact. Sick and tired Brazilians rouse Liverpool However, the Brazil international almost did not feature at bet365 Stadium before playing through the pain barrier. “I joined up in the morning [of the game]. They asked me to stay at home because I was not feeling well but I wanted to be here,” said Coutinho....

While many might have misunderstood the snippet of him crying in the locker room, LeBron James has openly shown solidarity with the two-time All-Star. With Isaiah Thomas aiming to let the world know he was not interested in a pity party, LeBron responded with some words of encouragement. Isaiah Thomas was a force in the NBA, especially during his stint with the Boston Celtics. He was an elite bucket-getter and went on a record-breaking spree despite spending three years with the franchise....

After Arabella sees the man who raped her (“Patrick” aka David, played by Lewis Reeves) return to the scene of the crime at the top of the episode, she and Terry (Weruche Opia) begin to plan what to do. Although what follows initially seems like what actually happened, events loop back twice to when Arabella and Ben (Stephen Wright) are sitting on their balcony, creating four parallel timelines. Coel partly explained why she structured the ending of I May Destroy You in this way in an interview with Vulture, but first let’s take a look at those four different timelines, each of which is broadly reminiscent of one of the seven stages of grief....

HOSENBALL: Do you think the Americans should get out of Iraq now? KREKAR: Yes. If Ansar fighters go back into Iraq and fight the Americans, do you condemn them or is that good ? When the Americans attacked Ansar Al-Islam’s area, they destroyed everything and killed 253 people who belong to Ansar. Civilians, women and children, and some other people also. I think it is a very, very natural reaction, when the members who are still alive from Ansar Al-Islam try to do something against America....

My feet and legs were so swollen I could hardly walk and my back was in so much pain I couldn’t stand for more than five minutes at a time. At best, I was sleeping in two hour increments and crying each time I had to roll over. Any nervousness or anxiety I was feeling about delivering two babies was superseded by physical pain and emotional exhaustion—it was time for my children to make their debut....

Costa out, Morata in at Chelsea? The midfielder is on loan at Bournemouth from Arsenal in 2016-17 and his contract at Emirates Stadium expires at the end of next season. Arsenal want Wilshere to sign a new deal, but the 25-year-old – who has made 19 Premier League appearances for Bournemouth – wants to make sure he is in a position to continue playing week in, week out. “I’m concentrating on the next three or four months and then I’m not sure what is going to happen,” he said to Sky Sports....

Barcelona and Napoli played out a 1-1 draw in the first leg of their playoff tie at the Camp Nou last week. Ferran Torres (Barcelona) and Piotr Zielinski (Napoli) were the two scorers on the night. The two teams will now lock horns with each other in Italy tonight for a place in the Europa League Round of 16. The Blaugrana have arrived in Naples after a 4-1 victory over Valencia in La Liga....

The former Ghana international has struggled to fulfil his immense potential, enduring difficult spells at Schalke and AC Milan in recent years prior to hitting form again at Las Palmas last season. Liverpool, Spurs, Man City & Man Utd to win at 2/1 Now at Eintracht Frankfurt, Boateng believes that his feelings have not been given any consideration when criticism has become personal. “If you think about Robert Enke’s suicide, one per cent of that was to do with the press and the whole hubbub,” he told Kicker....

When I arrived at the Peruvian city of Cusco, I’d heard about other people’s experiences of ayahuasca, but they were horror stories really; mostly featuring tourists who’d tried it in the wrong places, or even died. Ayahuasca is banned in the U.S. and the U.K. because it’s natural components contain the hallucinogenic drug dimethyltryptamine (DMT). My first instinct was that I would certainly not be taking hallucinogens for the first time in a foreign country, let alone at a jungle retreat amongst strangers....

Connor, who rose to prominence after starring in the British coming-of-age series ‘Heartstopper,’ revealed on Twitter that he was bisexual. Fans had previously accused Connor of ‘queerbaiting’ after spotting him holding hands with actress Maia Reficco, leading to the actor deactivating his account. On Tuesday, the Brit noted that he was “forced” to come out as bisexual, angrily adding that fans who were accusing him of “queerbaiting” had completely missed the point of ‘Heartstopper,’ where Connor plays a gay schoolboy....

In 2002, I opened an online fan club and within six months many of my fans were telling me that they wanted to serve as my slave, which was something I had never heard of. After a while, one contacted me and said he wanted to be a money slave for me. He told me that there are men who want to give their money away to an unattainable, beautiful woman who they put on a pedestal, and who will give them nothing in return....

Rajon Rondo is looking forward to winning another NBA title with the LA Lakers after being away for a season. Per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the four-time All-Star recently expressed his frustration about not having a parade following the Lakers’ 2020 championship win. This was due to citywide restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. A season after the LA Lakers won the title last year, the Milwaukee Bucks were able to celebrate on the streets with their fans....

Senior ESPN writer Zach Lowe doesn’t have any arguments with the rankings, but has his own choice when the stakes are highest: ESPN’s top five were Steph Curry, Joel Embiid, Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo. All players are franchise cornerstones of their respective teams and considerably younger than LeBron James. They are all better suited to carry their squads during the NBA’s 82-game grind. ‘King James’, though, has proven to be a big-time winner and despite his physical skills declining a bit, he remains an elite force....

BY ZULHILMI ZAINAL Follow on Twitter Liberian forward Francis Forkey Doe could not hide his delight at helping his new club Pahang defeat his former team Selangor 3-1 in their round four Malaysia Super League match on Saturday. The journeyman scored a brace in the match, to take his tally to three goals this season. “I am very happy to get the three points today. The entire team played well and I had the support of my teammates....

For many years, I was working as a lawyer in private practice, focusing on family law. I also have a degree in psychology and I have worked as a therapist. So, family law was a good way to make use of both of them, and I found it fulfilling to represent domestic violence victims. I even did pro bono hours in that area; one aspect I hated about private practice was when someone came in with an awful story, but they didn’t have the money to pay for lawyers....

This was not the first time that Pence had said he was unable to change the outcome of the election. However, his speech Friday marked the strongest rebuke yet of his former boss, who continues to push the disproven claim that he lost in 2020 as a result of massive, nationwide voter fraud. “This week, our former president said I had the right to ‘overturn the election,’” Pence said while speaking to the Federalist Society in Florida....

Aubameyang usurped Lacazette as the club’s record signing when he joined Arsenal from Borussia Dortmund in a £56 million deal. The strikers have subsequently developed a promising relationship despite Arsenal’s Premier League struggles, the Gabon international giving up the chance to score his first Arsenal hat-trick by handing over a penalty to Lacazette in April 1’s defeat of Stoke City. Both players made their name in Ligue 1 and Aubameyang suggested he had some initial concerns about how he could work with Lacazette....

Liverpool’s form has suffered badly since Mane departed for the tournament in Gabon, with the Reds’ only win in his seven-game absence coming in an FA Cup replay against League Two side Plymouth Argyle. Payet: I don’t need to justify my behaviour That run has seen them dumped out of both domestic cup competitions and fall 10 points behind Premier League leaders Chelsea, who they host on Tuesday. But while a quick return for Mane might provide a boost, Klopp – whose side were beaten at home by Championship outfit Wolves on Saturday to make it three home losses in succession – needs to “look into his eyes” before finalising his line-up....

Spain blessed to have Asensio The Real Madrid star scored three superb goals in a 5-0 victory as Spain started their European Under-21 Championship campaign in style. And, while Asensio received widespread praise for his outstanding showing, he is staying focused on working hard in Spain’s next game against Portugal on Tuesday. “We knew that our first match would be complicated because we had to start well and I think we had a great game against a good team, who made it difficult,” he said....

The meniscus tear came on the back of foot injuries in his first two seasons. This, coupled with the death of his younger brother at the time, made him consider retiring from the game of basketball. The Philadelphia 76ers star lost his sibling Arthur in a car crash in Cameroon in October 2014. Embiid told the media after the 71st All-Star game how hard those initial years were in the NBA....
