On Sunday, she will travel less than 10 kilometers from her home to attend the final in Madrid. Gibson was among 70,000 spectators who waited in vain for hours at River’s Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires for the second leg of the much-hyped “final of all finals” that didn’t happen. Outside the stadium, River fans attacked the Boca team bus with rocks, wood and bottles and injured players. The match was postponed twice then controversially transferred for security reasons to Spain, where Gibson suddenly found herself getting ready to watch it in her “backyard....

The new contract comes off the heels of the best season of Tyler Anderson’s career as he finished the 2022 season with a 2.57 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and a 15-5 record. He also recorded 138 strikeouts during his breakout season. Anderson’s 2022 season seemingly came out of nowhere as he was nothing more than a mediocre rotational arm throughout his career. From 2016 to 2021, Anderson posted a 4.62 ERA with a 1....

Vettel still feels that the tyres should have been changed earlier and said that those opposing the change should be prepared to take responsibility for any accidents that might happen this weekend because of delaminations....

On the day England celebrated the Queen’s birthday and the Trooping of the Colour, the self-proclaimed “Gypsy King” easily overcame Sefer Seferi after only four rounds at a jam-packed Manchester Arena. Tyson dominated after shaking off some of the 1000-day rust, remaining undefeated in a comeback bid that many within the division deemed farcical. MORE: Tyson’s return is big news for boxing The fight was a mismatch from the start, including in size: Fury weighed in almost 10 inches taller and nearly 70 pounds heavier than Seferi, prompting fellow British heavyweight Tony Bellew to call the bout a “joke” and Dillian Whyte to call the bout “garbage....

The party has set out the “terms of reference” for the independent investigation, which sets out the scope of the inquiry and the issues that it will consider.

England’s Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty and the government’s Chief Scientific Adviser Sir Patrick Vallance held a press conference Monday ahead of announcements about further COVID-19 lockdown measures expected later this week.

The Bab Al-Hawa border crossing allows needed aid to pass through Turkey’s border to northwest rebel-held Syria but the mandate that keeps it open expires July 10. Russia’s U.N. Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia asserted aid should be delivered across Syria’s conflict lines instead.

The Friday Night Delight leveled Big E with Starship Pain to score the pin. Then we got a match between The Usos and The Revival.

Many Twitter users assumed the shooter was white before his name was released by police in Boulder, Colorado. Several pointed to the massacre as another example of racial injustice and white supremacy in the United States, coming a few days after a white man killed six Asian women in an Atlanta shooting spree.

The first set is called Balderich, named for its original owner, Balderich von Alder, whose corpse can be found at the end of Eichenwalde, still donning the armor.

The second legendary skin is dubbed Greifhardt and is a version of the Balderich skin with a lot less polish....

The FBI carried out a search warrant of Trump’s Florida resort home, Mar-a-Lago, on August 8 to recover top secret and other classified materials that the ex-president had taken from the White House. Although Trump initially floated the possibility that the FBI planted the classified documents, his spokespeople later pivoted to say that the files were declassified under an established procedure. “President Trump, in order to prepare for work the next day, often took documents, including classified documents, to the residence....
