West Ham to keep Chelsea target Antonio Guardiola left Munich for the Etihad Stadium at the end of the 2015-16 season, having won seven trophies, including a Bundesliga in each of his three seasons at Bayern. However, he failed to win a Champions League title like his predecessor Jupp Heynckes, who retired on the back of that success to allow the Spaniard to take the reins. And Howick, who was press chief at the Bavarian club for 33 years before leaving last year, believes that, despite his success, players were not willing to commit to the Spanish manager in the same way as previous Bayern coaches....

“It looked boring and girls didn’t go to games,” Gordon told VICE Sports in a recent mini-documentary on his rise to stardom. “High school basketball games, the girls were there. Football games, the girls were there. I was like, ‘Ain’t no girls at the baseball games. Why should I play baseball?’. We didn’t grasp the concept of it.” MORE: Dee Gordon doesn’t realize he’s safe | Someone named a rap song after Bryce Harper At 27, Gordon has developed a passion for the game he loathed as a kid....

The France international has found himself nudged down the pecking order at Emirates Stadium, with Alexis Sanchez taking a central striking berth last season and Alexandre Lacazette drafted in for 2017-18. Giroud is, however, proving to be a useful option off the bench, with a record-equalling 17th goal recorded as a substitute during a 1-1 draw with Southampton on Sunday. A lack of game time is reported to have led the 31-year-old to ponder a move elsewhere, with World Cup places to consider, but Wilshere believes Arsenal should be doing all they can to retain the services of a proven performer who remains an important asset for Arsene Wenger....

“Greater” appears to be that movie for 2016. The film, which has a national release on Friday, details the story of former Arkansas Razorbacks offensive lineman Brandon Burlsworth, considered by many the greatest walk-on in college football history. Burlsworth played for the Razorbacks from 1995-98 and eventually became an All-American two-time All-SEC selection. He was recognized just as much for his thick glasses as his play on the field. Christopher Severio plays Brandon Burlsworth in “Greater....

The Reds boss has been criticised for the first time during his Merseyside reign this season, with uncomfortable questions being asked of a side still struggling to keep clean sheets. Liverpool 8/1 to beat Chelsea 1-0 Liverpool have been unable to fire themselves into the Premier League title picture as yet, with a top-four finish looking like representing the peak of their ambition once again. Barnes believes that is as much as can be expected, with Klopp having shown that he is as good as anybody – Manchester City boss Guardiola included – at maximising potential....

Blind dog Stevie, named after musical legend Stevie Wonder, was adopted in 2020 after a breeder dumped him at a shelter, claiming he would be unable to sell. “The breeder surrendered Stevie to the shelter because he wouldn’t sell or have a ‘good quality of life’ because he is blind,” explained his owner in a TikTok video. Now however, Stevie is living more than just a “good quality” of life, with a fellow canine sibling and over 24,000 followers on TikTok....

West Ham remain second bottom of the Premier League but were good value for their half-time lead against City, with Angelo Ogbonna heading home Aaron Cresswell’s cross. Pep Guardiola’s league leaders improved after the break and Nicolas Otamendi’s close-range equaliser came amid mounting pressure. The 83rd-minute winner came when David Silva launched himself to acrobatically turn in Kevin De Bruyne’s brilliant chipped pass but Moyes pointed towards something of a learning experience for 18-year-old Rice, who he credited with impressing up until that point on his third top-flight start....

Asked by a Twitter follower if there are any changes in the Disney+ version of Hamilton, Miranda said: “LANGUAGE! “1. On July 3, you’re getting the whole show, every note & scene, & a 1-minute countdown clock during intermission (bathroom!) 2. But MPAA has a hard rule about language: more than 1 utterance of “F***” is an automatic R rating. We have 3 “F***” in our show.” In a follow-up tweet, he revealed exactly which f-words were cut to keep a PG-13 rating:...

With coach Jon Gruden and wide receiver Antonio Brown continuing to headline the team’s training camp drama, the 14th edition of the NFL Films documentary series is already among the best. From hearing the late John Facenda again recite “Autumn Wind” during the opening credits to listening to the legendary Brent Musburger call the team’s action, the preseason sounds and sights have made for compelling reality sports television.

I had narrowed my choices down to Manhattan or Monroeville, Alabama. There’s nothing like New York in the fall—the chill in the air and the sound of saxophones from street musicians echoing off sidewalks. But being from Alabama, I’d always been curious about Monroeville. It’s the literary capital of Alabama, where both Harper Lee and Truman Capote both grew up—there had to be magic in the air. In the end, I couldn’t decide, so I flipped a coin and let fate make my decision....

Previously a two-part production, it will debut as a newly staged “one show magical experience,” according to producers Sonia Friedman Productions. The expected running time of the single show has not been detailed; the two parts had a combined length of about 5 hours and 15 minutes. Newsweek has contacted producers for comment. The single show’s premiere is scheduled for November 16 at New York City’s Lyric Theatre. Pre-sale tickets will be available from July 8 and go on general release four days later....

But the Biden administration has quietly renamed the malady to cut the reference to the capital city in which it was first observed. “We refer to these incidents as ‘unexplained health incidents’ or ‘UHIs,’” a State Department spokesperson told Newsweek. The new title reflects the mysterious nature of the supposed disease, whose apparent effects have since spread far from Cuba to impact U.S. diplomats and officials in Austria, China, Russia, and even in Washington near the White House itself....

At 27 years of age, the two-time Premier League title winner should be at his peak. His performances at club level suggest that he is a member of the global elite, with his exploits for Chelsea having drawn admiring glances from La Liga heavyweights Real Madrid. Jones is not surprised to have seen such talk surface, with it his opinion that Hazard is one of the finest players on the planet and part of a select pool of talent which is capable of producing moments of magic....

Morata proving his worth to Madrid Brazil international Neymar took a back seat as Barca recorded a 3-0 La Liga win over Sevilla on Wednesday, Messi scoring a first-half brace after Luis Suarez’s opener. Neymar, 25, has nine league goals and 12 assists this season and is considered the man to eventually replace star Messi, who turns 30 in June. Sampaoli believes the former Santos attacker is ready for the task of taking over from arguably the world’s best player....

Starring TikTok sensation Addison Rae and Cobra Kai’s Tanner Buchanan in the lead roles, the cast of He’s All That is pretty much all-new, which makes sense given it has been more than 20 years since the original film came out (yup). However, those who have made a return to the movie have done so in supporting roles or cameo form, allowing the new generation to tell the story....
