Whatever the dwarfs lacked in star quality, they made up for in elusiveness, escaping astronomers’ gaze for three decades.

In the first leg in Spain last month, United forged few opportunities until very late in the game and amassed all of one shot on target in the whole 90 minutes as they prioritised their quest for a clean sheet and came away with a 0-0 draw.

Since then, he has shone as one of the best goalkeepers in the world, and his performance at the Stade de France truly confirmed his place as a global star....

What is this funny photo about, anyway? It is, as we all know, about the West. We say it with reverence. And what is the West? Well, it is not a geographic designation (Japan is in it and Cuba is not). It is a 40- or 50-year-old big guys’ club, part banker, part cop, part mommy and daddy, part keeper of the flame of hard-won democratic practices and values. Until quite lately there was also something nongeographic (Cuba was in it, Japan was not) called the East, a political, military and economic superentity that has now been revealed as a fraud....

After finishing with the second-worst blown save total in baseball in 2021, Philadelphia had a bullpen meltdown for the ages Thursday. The Phillies brought former Dodgers reliever Corey Knebel on board to alleviate last year’s 34 blown saves, but even Knebel – who has been generally good on the mound this year – couldn’t stop the bleeding in Thursday’s devastating 8-7 loss that saw a seven-run ninth inning for the Mets....
