This will be the first of many things for the Malaysia senior national football team. The first match in 2018, the first under new head coach Tan Cheng Hoe as well as the first time back playing at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium since 2015. In a sweeping change, 15 new players have been called up for the first time to the national team. This includes the likes of Ignacio ‘Natxo’ Insa, La’Vere Corbin-Ong and a whole host of players from the Under-23 squad that did well in AFC U23 Championship back in January....

Real Madrid had been demanding €90 million (£79m/$102m) for Morata, who had become Jose Mourinho’s first choice to replace top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic and outgoing captain Wayne Rooney up front. Liverpool dealt fresh Naby Keita blow After having an €80m bid rejected by the Champions League winners earlier this week, United decided to end their negotiations with Real Madrid and turn to Lukaku. There remains some resentment on Man Utd’s side over previous dealings, such as their deadline day bid for David de Gea two years ago and United’s purchase of Angel Di Maria in 2014....

The rapper conceded defeat early on as the race continues between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. However, the 43-year-old has declared his intention to run again in 2024. “WELP,” West tweeted, alongside the words “KANYE 2024” and a dove emoji. He posted a photo of him next to an electoral map filled with Republican and Democrat wins. The “Jesus Is King” artist appeared on pre-printed ballots in just 12 states after he failed to meet deadlines and other requirements needed to run in all 50 states....

Somehow, someway, that’s the exact situation we find ourselves in this postseason. The Phillies defeated the Braves in the NLDS while the Mets lost to the Padres in the Wild Card Round, leaving Philadelphia as the East representative in the NLCS against the Padres. The Phillies snapped a 10-year playoff drought to get here, and they’ve arrived in a big way under Rob Thomson. The interim-turned-full-time manager put up a 65-46 record with the Phillies after Joe Girardi was fired in June, enough to get the No....

The most famous basketball player ever continues to make his money in shoe sales, as Nike brought in $2.25 billion from Jordan Brand. Jordan's cut of $90 million is more than he ever made during his playing days....

They weren’t content, of course. In June 1967, they dropped “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” a revolutionary departure from their previous efforts, an epic recording that Rolling Stone picked as the greatest album of all time in 2012, calling it “an unsurpassed adventure in concept, sound, songwriting, cover art and studio technology by the greatest rock & roll group of all time.” Why am I bringing this up? Because baseball’s best player, Mike Trout, is producing his own version of “Sgt....

The Chicago Sky edged past the Las Vegas Aces to claim its first time in franchise history last season. Kahleah Copper won Finals MVP, Candace Parker shed tears and the basketball world wondered what moves teams could make to push themselves into the upper echelon of the league. It was a summer filled with transactions: the Sparks added Liz Cambage and Katie Lou Samuelson, reinvigorating a talented squad; Diamond DeShields joined Phoenix, adding to the Mercury’s impressive depth....

The 32-year-old passer signed his current deal with Minnesota in March of 2018 when he reached free agency after six seasons in Washington. Cousins became the NFL’s highest-paid player in terms of average annual salary when he signed his contract with the Vikings, but he since has been surpassed by six other NFL players, all QBs. MORE: The NFL’s 25 highest-paid players Cousins’ contract with the Vikings was historic in the sense that it was the first fully guaranteed contract in NFL history — all $84 million across his three-year deal was guaranteed at signing....

Data from the U.S. Drought Monitor shows that while 97.93 percent of California is experiencing some degree of drought, the remaining 2.07 percent is only classified as “abnormally dry.” These small slivers of drought-free land are in the northern county of Del Norte on the Oregon border, and in the south, spanning Imperial County and a tiny section of Riverside County. As recently as October 4, 2022, only 0.23 percent of the state was drought-free....

In the NBA, concussions are treated on a case-by-case basis — the result of a new policy implemented by the league prior to the 2017-18 season.

“We lost a lot of women and a lot of college-educated. We want to bring them back in and expand the tent,” she said. “January 6 was a tough day, and the actions of the president since election day were not his finest, and [that] troubles me greatly because I’m really proud of the successes of the Trump administration, whether it was foreign policy or domestic policy. [But] the actions of the president, post election day, were not great....

Jones and Barrett announced self-imposed social media breaks before the first day of fall camp. Game on, right?

Ohio State quarterbacks coach Tim Beck flipped a coin in the meeting room before practice to determine who got the first team rep Monday. Jones called heads and won....

Third-year coach P.J. Fleck led the Gophers to what could be a program-changing victory at home. Tanner Morgan (18 of 20, 339 yards, three touchdowns) led the way, and Jordan Howden came up with the game-clinching interception in the final minute. Minnesota (9-0, 6-0 Big Ten) should move up the College Football Playoff rankings as a result.

Future records will show the Orange beat the Boilermakers at the JMA Wireless Dome. In reality, a series of horrible miscues on Syracuse’s final offensive drive — all of them Purdue penalties — allowed the home team to escape with a victory. The trouble began, somehow, on a go-ahead touchdown by the Boilermakers with 57 seconds remaining in the game. Aidan O’Connell gave Purdue a 29-25 lead with a 12-yard touchdown pass to Payne Durham....

Some of it was unwanted. The offseason began with an overwhelming supply of worry, as general manager Dennis Lindsey and head coach Quin Snyder attempted to keep star forward Gordon Hayward from heading east. Their first move was replacing point guard George Hill. When they did this, it was clear what direction they wanted to go in. MORE: Top 25 Under 25: Ranking NBA’s rising stars The Jazz made the move in late June, trading a first-round pick — a lottery-protected pick from Oklahoma City, one they received from the Enes Kanter trade of two years prior — for point guard Ricky Rubio....

The cap on the amount of money the U.S. government can borrow to pay its debts is $28.4 trillion and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has warned of the consequences of the government going into default if lawmakers do not agree to extend that ceiling by October 18. “It would be disastrous for the American economy, for global financial markets, and for millions of families and workers,” she told lawmakers in a hearing last month....

The public pursuit of Alexis by Manchester City culminated in a deadline day flap from the Gunners which saw the Chilean stay put and Thomas Lemar reject both Arsenal and Liverpool. Ozil, meanwhile, has not sought a move away and only recently re-entered previously halted contract negotiations due to Arsene Wenger’s uncertainty over his own future. Arsenal 15/8 to finish top-4 Ozil and Sanchez are not the only players at Arsenal with expiring contracts, however....

In an age of uncertainty, loss and economic turmoil, young people are increasingly turning to astrology and witchcraft for answers. “Modern technology has made it possible for people around the world to gain access to learning about mediumship and even practice it virtually,” Megan Alisa, an evidential psychic medium with more than 234,000 followers on TikTok, told Newsweek. Evidential psychic mediums share evidence that they are communicating with the dead by claiming to reveal information that could not otherwise be known by the medium....
