As a result, they find themselves languishing in the relegation spots in the Premier League table, and Silva’s inability to engineer a change in fortunes led to his eventual axing. The Goodison Park outfit suffered an embarrassing 5-2 defeat in the Merseyside Derby against Liverpool last night, and Silva was seen slouching in his seat and cutting a forlorn figure on the touchline - it was almost as if he was foreboding what was about to come, and it did come this morning....

Tite’s side arrived at the 2022 World Cup as the top-ranked team and chasing a record sixth title. And after a strong Copa America tournament last year where they reached the final, they are being ranked by many as favourites to go all the way. Brazil won seven straight games ahead of their arrival in Qatar and as always boast a strong squad full of stars capable of lighting up the tournament....

A 9-7 record and a playoff victory were not enough to save head coach Mike Mularkey. Enter his replacement, Mike Vrabel, with Matt LaFleur succeeding Terry Robiskie as offensive coordinator and Dean Pees taking the reins of the 3-4 defense from Dick LeBeau. But even with a winning record, Tennessee limped to an AFC wild-card berth. That prompted general manager Jon Robinson to upgrade the veteran talent at key spots and draft more for immediate impact....

We’ll get into the details in a moment, but just know this: Goldschmidt has been a regular on MVP ballots his entire career, with a pair of second-place finishes in the MVP voting (2013 and 2015), a third-place finish (2017) and two sixth-place finishes (2018 and 2021). This very well could be the year — his Age 34 season — that he breaks through and wins the award. A formidable challenger has arisen from the field, though....

It does not however, make sense that Sony could launch a new home console (PlayStation 4) themselves next year. But that’s what some recent rumors are indicating… Since its release, Sony’s PS3 was touted long-term gaming investment, with an expected shelf life of a full decade. This was reiterated two weeks ago when CEO of SCE International, Andrew House, made clear his expectations for the PS3 in response to the system hitting the 50 million units sold milestone....

The highly rated Spain international was announced as signing a seven-year deal at Stamford Bridge just hours after the club confirmed the sale of Thibaut Courtois to Real Madrid pending the completion of a medical. Kepa, 23, came close to joining Madrid in January before a late change of heart led him to see out the campaign with Bilbao. He now heads to the Premier League as the most expensive goalkeeper in history, eclipsing the £65million fee Liverpool paid to take Alisson from Roma in July....

Former assistant coach Moreno oversaw Spain’s past three matches after Luis Enrique was granted leave following a family emergency in March.

However, it was confirmed on Wednesday that Moreno will take on the job on a full-time basis in the latest coaching change for La Roja....

Wilshere was a free agent after his career-long association with Arsenal came to an end following the appointment of Unai Emery as Arsene Wenger’s successor. The midfielder has not played for England since Euro 2016 but was called up by Gareth Southgate for pre-World Cup friendlies, only to be forced to pull out of the squad due to injury, and he was overlooked for the group that travelled to Russia....

It may seem like the beginning of a Chinese media crackdown, but it’s actually the start of something good. For the past six months Chinese news junkies have witnessed a period of greater media freedom, which many have linked to the new generation of leaders who came to power at the 16th Party Congress last November. Early on, President Hu Jintao criticized state-run China Central Television for pandering to government officials....

Gates cogently answered questions and idly picked at a bowl of nuts, while in Washington, Attorney General Janet Reno and the head of her antitrust division, Joel Klein, were charging Microsoft with playing a game of anticompetitive blackmail to force computer manufacturers to favor its Internet browsing program. Only once, when asked his impression of the recent anti-Microsoft campaign of consumerist Ralph Nader, did Gates comment on what must have been simmering somewhere in his multibillion-dollar brain....

Breast Cancer and Fertility Three things can potentially affect fertility in people who have breast cancer: the type of cancer treatment used, the type and stage of your cancer when it is diagnosed, and your age. Type of Cancer Treatment Used Different methods are used to treat cancer. However, not all of them affect fertility. Radiation and hormonal therapy affect fertility to a lesser degree, while chemotherapy can damage the ovaries and have a bigger impact on your fertility....

The Tigers’ Miguel Cabrera sits at 2,665 hits and will, barring long-term injury, get the opportunity to achieve the distinction thanks to a long-term contract that extends to 2023. Robinson Cano of the Mariners sits at 2,402 and also would seem to be within reach provided he stays healthy. Meanwhile, the Twins’ Joe Mauer, the Tigers’ Victor Martinez and the Mets’ Adrian Gonzalez and Jose Reyes have all passed 2,000 hits but seem unlikely to reach even 2,500 given their age, injury history or decline in abilities....

You wouldn’t guess it at first. Brazil has by far the lowest growth rate of the four BRICs, driven by a tax burden of nearly 35 percent of GDP and slow movement on economic reform. But market-friendly macroeconomic policy and stable democratic governance have created a solid foundation for growth. Since 2002, the state has made its debt repayments on schedule. The economy has generated more than 4.5 million new jobs....

Brazil will host England in a friendly Sunday in Maracana football stadium after a court threw out a judge’s order cancelling the match over safety concerns. A court ruled that after an inspection, the recently renovated stadium did after all meet safety standards, a Rio court statement said.

The security scheme is already in place and will be operational till July 18, five days after the final match, reports Xinhua.

According to the Our World in Data website, Brazil recorded 2,188 deaths from October 25 to November 1, the lowest recorded weekly death toll from the virus since April of 2020. The country has fully vaccinated more than half its population. Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has often been criticized for handling the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in the wake of the devastating infection peak in April of 2021. He has often labeled these criticisms as political correctness despite many of them coming from global health experts....

Bolsonaro promoted “early treatment” drugs like hydroxychloroquine but did not name the drug. Made notorious by former U.S. President Donald Trump, who touted the drug as a miracle treatment for COVID without any medical proof, the anti-malaria drug was eventually found ineffective against the virus. Hydroxychloroquine was at the center of Brazil’s chaotic pandemic response, which was managed by four different health ministers, two of which resisted Bolsonaro’s claims....

The visitors, meanwhile, head into the game on a run of three straight draws and will be looking to end this dry spell and keep their qualification chances alive.
