Benzema offers Mbappe warning The striker has been left out of the France national side for their latest fixtures against Luxembourg and Spain, but if Didier Deschamps is not a fan of the Lyon-born striker, Perez certainly is. “He’s a mix of Zidane and Ronaldo, so for me he is the world’s best number nine,” he told RMC. “He plays very well and it is very difficult to find a striker like him....
Bale: Ronaldo still the best The Argentina international briefly lost his starting berth earlier this year following the arrival of Gabriel Jesus, but the Brazilian’s foot injury saw Aguero get another chance to prove his worth. The 28-year-old has scored five goals in his last three games and Toure is impressed with the way the striker has bounced back. “I think he has been in good form for some time,” Toure told reporters....
Barca 6/4 for victory After coming off the bench and scoring in the weekend’s 3-2 defeat at Sampdoria, Dybala will start at Allianz Stadium on Wednesday as both sides aim to shore up a top two spot in Group D. The 24-year-old was questioned for missing two important penalties in October, but Allegri insisted he was not concerned by any slump. However, the Bianconeri boss was also quick to scupper similarities between Dybala’s playing style and that of his Argentina team-mate....

In my imagined future, ageing was fun. What a relief it would be to just put on a flowery sack dress and some sensible shoes and be done with all the trappings of trying to look hot. But let me tell you: I had some real problems with that scenario once it was actually time for me to start using readers. Readers! How I hated all the “old people” words....
It was then that I began to mine. I worked my way through college working at seven different mines. In 1980, a few years after graduating college, I bought 40 acres of land near Boulder, Utah. It was always my dream to mine a cave in the wilderness, away from the city. I bought it for $25,000, and a lot of my friends thought that it was a foolish decision because the land had nothing on it....
Bet on Juve to win the Champions League Dybala has been linked with a move to Camp Nou as a replacement for Neymar, should the Brazil star complete a world-record €222 million switch to Paris Saint-Germain. Higuain, who spent six years in La Liga with Real Madrid, understands the attraction of joining one of the country’s top clubs but insists that his team-mate would be better served by staying in Turin....
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, I feel that mindset was entrenched in many beauty magazines and certain media outlets, which many of us were very exposed to at the beginning of the internet generation. I think those images did affect how I viewed myself. For me, they led to developing a relationship with the mirror which was not necessarily healthy. I remember seeing celebrity magazines, television and movies which were aimed at teenagers like me, but featured women in their twenties....
The ex-Norway international was asked to select a ‘Lazy XI’ while appearing on the Heia Fotball podcast. Dimitar Berbatov, Jimmy Bullard and Emmanuel Adebayor made the cut, with the latter said to have spent time sitting in the gym with “a cup of coffee and a muffin” when he should have been working out. ‘Adebayor sat in gym eating muffins’ Mousa Dembele was also accused of “never lifting weights”, while Zaha faced criticism of his commitment to bettering himself....
He doesn’t know anything about her, except that she was the first reason he didn’t turn and flee after he watched the second plane slice through the South Tower a block away, the reason why, as dozens of dust-covered men and women rushed past him, he ran toward the Twin Towers. He scooped up the woman and set her back on her feet a couple blocks away. And then he headed back to the burning buildings....
Being unable to sleep following the birth of my last baby gave me the first clue that something was wrong. I would lie down, exhausted, but my heart would be racing as fast as my mind. Then my whole physical being would get in the act: my hands trembling, my stomach in spasms, my legs twitching involuntarily and my head and neck throbbing in pain to a rhythm I had never felt before....
During this honest discussion of their needs with me, their therapist, they were able to articulate their frustrations and explore options that did not threaten the integrity of their intimate connection. In the end they chose to open their monogamous relationship up into a consensual polyamorous arrangement; they agreed to maintain their intimate connection as the primary couple, while allowing secondary relations with others. Of course, we discussed the parameters of their agreement....
“In 2015, my baby brother passed away at age 10 from a heart condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Six years later, I’ve just submitted my Master’s dissertation researching the genetic causes of the same condition,” read the tweet. “I hope you’d be proud of me, Max.” In 2014, Schiller’s younger brother Max started to exhibit a significant loss of energy and weight loss. His family sought medical help; however, the results of his heart scans were inconclusive....
When I was in second grade at school in Colorado, I began creating jokes. And although they were not as good as they are now, it made me happy. It was fun for me to write them. One joke that I came up with is: What did the llama say to the camel when they went on vacation? Alpaca toothbrush. Another one is: What kind of dog does a scientist have?...
At first we didn’t know what we were doing, we just started a GoFundMe and we shared it on Facebook. But we ended up raising $12,500 and providing dinner for 350 people at the shelter. For that first Easter event we were at the shelter for two or three hours and we were able to have 20 volunteers helping us. We served chicken, turkey ham and all the sides; everything you’d have at an Easter dinner type meal....
One client, a mom of four, and wrestled with insomnia and anxiety. She would lie awake at night for hours before she would finally fall asleep. Once we worked together and she started sleeping better—falling asleep within 15 minutes and sleeping all night long—her life improved dramatically. Then I had my first child. One morning in 2013, I woke up when I heard my baby on the monitor and I was so exhausted and overwhelmed that the first word out of my mouth, under my breath, was “f***”....
It was situated in a woodland area on my dad’s land in north Wales, but the local council didn’t like that and it was so old and thrown together, that moving it around would have caused it to deteriorate. So I left that space and moved back in with my mom and thought about what type of property I could work on next. I was looking at windmill houses and Victorian homes with a lot of character....
