Gerrard confirmed on Thursday that he is hanging up his boots after opting not to extend his stay at MLS franchise LA Galaxy. IN STATS: Gerrard’s 19-year career The 36-year-old has already spoken of his interest in management, although he turned down the opportunity to take over at MK Dons in League One, and a position on Klopp’s backroom staff would appear an ideal first step into life on the touchline....
Newcomers Naby Keita and Fabinho are set to make their non-competitive debuts when Liverpool travel to Chester for a friendly on Saturday and Klopp indicated they would not be the last players to arrive on Merseyside before they being the 2018-19 against West Ham on August 11. Keita signed from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig for a reported £52.75 million, while Fabinho’s arrival from Monaco is said to have set the Reds back £40m....
Klopp ran onto the field at Anfield and jumped into the arms of Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker after seeing Divock Origi score a goal in the sixth minute of stoppage time in a 1-0 victory on Sunday. Klopp said after the match that he regretted his actions — he apologized immediately to Everton manager Marco Silva — and therefore accepted the charge of misconduct by the English Football Association....
The Reds reached the Kiev showpiece against Real Madrid by defeating Roma in the semi-finals earlier this month, but their place in next season’s competition was not secured prior to the final day of the domestic campaign. A 4-0 thrashing of Brighton and Hove Albion booked Liverpool’s place, though, and that means Klopp can finally focus on the biggest game of his side’s season. “We have two weeks to prepare for our biggest game so far, that’s for sure,” he told a news conference....
Karius started and played 45 minutes in a 7-0 friendly win over Chester on Saturday as he began the road to redemption following his nightmare display against Real Madrid in May. The German came under fire for committing two costly errors in that 3-1 defeat, although medical experts later determined the effects of a possible concussion may have impacted his performance. But he took his place in the starting line-up at Swansway Chester Stadium and encountered no vitriol from the travelling Reds fans, making an early one-on-one save and completing his aerial duties with minimal fuss....
Ings, 24, has struggled for game time this season, with his only appearance coming off the bench in the EFL Cup win over Derby County in September. But despite the lack of minutes, Klopp lauded the one-time England international, who suffered a serious knee injury last season, for his approach. “It is really good,” the German said. “If I could be a little bit less sensitive I could say that’s his job to do, but I am sensitive and so I know it is not easy but he takes the situation in a perfect way – but that is all for him....
Georginio Wijnaldum headed the only goal after eight minutes to settle a game of few chances, largely short of the attacking verve expected from two of the Premier League’s most free-scoring outfits. Liverpool remain six points behind leaders Chelsea, while City face a daunting 10-point deficit at the midway point of the season, and Klopp was keen to credit his team’s less-celebrated defensive work after 90 minutes where goalkeeper Simon Mignolet was seldom tested....
Last season’s Champions League winners take on domestic rivals Chelsea, holders of the Europa League, in Istanbul on Wednesday with silverware on the line. Liverpool kicked off their Premier League campaign with a 4-1 win over Norwich City at Anfield, while Chelsea suffered a 4-0 loss to Manchester United in Frank Lampard’s first game in charge. Despite the contrasting opening weekend results, Klopp is expecting a tough test against Lampard’s men....

Hold on. Trying to do this through the ghost of Bill Shakespeare is overly complicated. Let’s just have Kobe Bryant simplify things. MORE: A look back at Kobe’s retirement tour Ever since Bryant announced he would retire after the 2015-16 season, Lakers fans have been debating whether the 8 or 24 jersey should hang at Staples Center with the likes of Jerry West, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson. Bryant is officially done with the NBA until he comes back to play for the Wizards, so we need a clear answer....
La Liga outfit Atletico reached the semi-finals 2-1 on aggregate, despite Thursday’s 1-0 loss at Sporting CP in Lisbon. Oblak was in the thick of the action, producing a world-class save to stop Sebastian Coates and denied Bryan Ruiz twice, though he was at fault for Fredy Montero’s winner. However, Atletico midfielder Koke was full of praise for the Slovenia international, who has been linked with Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain previously and has admitted uncertainty over his future at the club....
The game also introduces a set of brand-new powers, unrelated to copy abilities known as Mouthful Mode transformations. This allows Kirby to inhale and wrap his mouth around certain objects, which allows for different types of gameplay. For example, when Kirby inhales a car, he’ll be able to drive around, boost forward, and smash through walls. This mode caught on with fans due to some of the crazy objects that Kirby can inhale in-game, along with how Kirby is able to stretch his entire body over each object....
Announced during the September 2021 Nintendo Direct, Kirby and the Forgotten Land will be the pink puffball’s second adventure on the Switch after 2018’s Kirby Star Allies, and his first ever as a 3D platformer. The scope of the game is still unclear, but sub-games are likely to return. They could be simple party games, but it would also be interesting to see HAL Laboratory bring back a more complex idea like the recurring Meta Knightmare mode....
Kirby has already kicked off its 30th anniversary with a bang with the long-running franchise’s newest game, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, releasing recently as the first true 3D platformer in the series. Nintendo also recently announced the Kirby 30th Anniversary Music Fest, a “big-band style” online concert set to take place later this year in August. With Nintendo previously confirming more anniversary projects set to come throughout the year, the most recent addition has seen Japan’s Kirby Cafe getting in on the festivities with a lineup of adorable new menu items coming to the themed restaurant....
It’s easy to forget how good TCU — ranked No. 13 in the Preseason AP Poll — can be this season. The Horned Frogs are 23-3 the last two seasons but flying a little low despite starting out 8-0 in 2015. “With all the talk about expectations about Oklahoma coming out of the Big 12, (TCU) has a chance to be somewhat of a surprise,” Herbstreit said. “Not to just to win the Big 12; I think they could go on a run and make the playoff....
The American duo were one of three pairs tied at the top of the leaderboard heading into the final round, and it looked like they were going to miss out on victory when Graeme McDowell birdied the penultimate hole. McDowell and playing partner Emiliano Grillo moved to 29 under as a result, but it was not enough as Kizzire went one better with a superb approach as they came down the stretch in the four-ball format....
Gambhir was adjudged caught behind the wicket by umpire Nigel Llong off Dale Steyn’s bowling, but replays showed the ball had clearly missed the edge. Steyn went up in appeal immediately even as keeper Naman Ojha collected the ball, without showing any reaction. Gambhir walked off the field infuriated, mouthing expletives all the way back to the dugout. He threw his bat and the rest of the gear on reaching the boundary, and continued his outburst even after sitting down....
KL Rahul took to Twitter in order to interact with fans through a Q&A session, and one fan asked the Indian cricket team star about his reaction to Chahal’s TikTok videos. In response, KL Rahul hilariously said that the Haryana-based spinner should stick to bowling his googlies. KL Rahul and Chahal have enjoyed a great friendship on and off the field, having played together for India and at the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League....
