Klopp won the FIFA Best Men’s Coach award on Monday, having led Liverpool to Champions League glory last season. They have also made a terrific start to the new campaign, their only defeat coming in the Champions League at the hands of Napoli, as Liverpool have surged to the top of the Premier League with six wins from six. However, Lijnders believes the way Klopp is building for the future at Anfield is just as impressive and makes him comparable to Cruyff, whose influence at Barca as a player in the 1970s and as coach from 1988 to 1996 helped craft a club culture still prominent in 2019....

Liverpool won their International Champions Cup clash against the La Liga champions thanks to strikes from Sadio Mane – his first since joining the club from Southampton, Divock Origi and Marko Grujic and a Javier Mascherano own goal on Saturday at Wembley Stadium.

Anthony led the Knicks with 19 points before leaving the game Monday night with 7:26 left in the third quarter. Without him, the Magic rallied to cut what had been a 25-point deficit to just a point. But the Knicks were able to hang on down the stretch to preserve the victory. Anthony said in the locker room afterward that he is remaining optimistic about the severity of the sprain....

By virtue of the Celtics’ 102-94 loss to the Cavaliers, the Knicks clinched one of the top six seeds in the East. Boston was the only team that could have pushed the Knicks into the play-in tournament, but without Kemba Walker, Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown, it fell to a Cleveland team that was on an 11-game losing streak. The trip to the playoffs marks the first for the Knicks since the 2012-13 season when they lost in the Eastern Conference semifinals....

Visakhapatnam, Feb 23 (PTI) India captain Virat Kohli Saturday had a clear message for all his World Cup bound teammates – don’t pick up bad (technical) habits during IPL and manage workload carefully, taking games off whenever necessary during the cash-rich league, starting March 23. Kohli, who has developed a tunnel vision as far as the World Cup is concerned, doesn’t want the India stars plying their trade for various franchises, to drift too much from their ODI game plan during the seven-week league that ends on May 12....

Nottingham, Jul 10 (PTI) Former skipper Sourav Ganguly has advised Virat Kohli to bat at crucial number four position to provide solidity to the India’s batting line-up in the three-match ODI series against England, starting here on Thursday. Since the tour of Sri Lanka in July-August 2017, India have tried as many as six different batsmen – KL Rahul, Kedar Jadhav, Manish Pandya, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik and Ajinkya Rahane – at the number four position but Ganguly feels Kohli is the best bet for the crucial slot....

News has been relatively quiet concerning the studio, as the last we heard they were hiring developers for a next-gen Metal Gear title. We knew that Metal Gear Solid Rising was getting delayed, but that hardly seems enough of a reason for Kojima to voice such clear displeasure at events seemingly out of his control. Kojima took to his English and Japanese Twitter accounts to inform his followers that his normally enthusiastic demeanor had been soured by someone or something, and rendered the past year of work by either he or his studio as useless....

Kojima reunited with Cerny at these studios, and even though he tweeted a picture of himself and Cerny claiming to be in a “secret location,” his other tweets paint a bigger picture. On Sunday, Kojima tweeted a picture of himself in what appears to be Los Angeles, and considering the PlayStation-themed posters that abound in the motion capture tweets, one has to assume that Kojima is visiting Sony’s studios in LA....

Implants now offer many patients with damaged or missing teeth a more stable, comfortable and enduring alternative to dentures. In the first phase of treatment, a surgeon opens the gums, drills into the jawbone and implants a small piece of titanium (chart). The bone in the jaw attaches to the implant and forms a stable foundation for replacement teeth. Next, the gums are sewn up and the patient receives a temporary tooth or removable denture to wear during a three-to six-month healing period....
