De Jong, who is set to join Barcelona from Ajax ahead of the 2019-20 season, was the Oranje’s star man in Guimaraes on Thursday. Netherlands had to come from behind after Marcus Rashford scored from the spot, Matthijs de Ligt atoning for his error in conceding the penalty with a header. England then fell apart in extra time, John Stones giving the ball away to Memphis Depay, which led to Kyle Walker’s own goal, before Ross Barkley’s lapse allowed Quincy Promes to strike a decisive blow....

Carmelo Hayes has been making waves on NXT 2.0 ever since his debut. The former Beyond Wrestling Star recently defeated veteran Roderick Strong to end his Cruiserweight title run.

You can check the uncensored tweet here....

There are no big announcements or anything related to games; rather a handful of nice things to bring the company and fans closer. Fans anxious to hear what Kojima Productions is working on next will have to wait a while longer, as the team isn’t ready to share that information yet....

Copy abilities are a staple of nearly every Kirby game, so it is exciting that Forgotten Land is pushing the boundaries of what they are capable of. Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards is a fan-favorite for its ability to combine copy abilities, so the upgrades here may be loved in their own right. Kirby and the Forgotten Land’s demo grants access to a few familiar abilities, being Cutter, Sword, Bomb, and Ice, but their upgraded forms feel anything but that....

Nintendo has been kind in its approach to platformers in recent years, as Super Mario Odyssey shows that even the face of the video game medium can make the leap to a 3D perspective with ease. Though they are perhaps the most important titles of all time, few players are desperate for a new side-scrolling Mario game, as the formula has been perfected on numerous occasions, on multiple consoles. Taking the first step towards what feel like an inevitable 3D future, Kirby has done the hard work, and would do well to evolve the success of the 2022 title instead of going back to what the series is known for....

It’s never good when a quarterback has more interceptions than touchdowns, but Cousins feels like his interceptions could be worse. Take his 2014 season, for example, when he threw nine interceptions in six games. MORE: Cousins hated by own fans after Week 6 | Worst of Week 6 “I don’t feel like the turnovers this year have been quite as awful as they were last year,” Cousins said. “Some of the interceptions I threw last year were just very poor reads, very poor throws, very poor decisions, and while some of the interceptions this year have been that, I don’t think it’s been quite as many....

Cousins was determined not to be saddled with a pick-six late in the Pro Bowl on Sunday, so he showed off impressive wheels and ran down Aqib Talib deep in NFC territory. He even managed to force a fumble (the AFC recovered and ran out the clock). MORE: Ezekiel Elliott tackles fan who invades field Really, Cousins went all out to chase down Talib, who was carrying a lateral from Bills linebacker Lorenzo Alexander, the man who made the pick....

Per Marchand’s reporting, Herbstreit is currently making more than $6 million per year with ESPN.

But now, as the great Irish designated hitter, W. B. Yeats, put it in a different context, a terrible beauty is being born. The boys of the summer of 1994 have launched an assault on several of baseball’s most hallowed single-season records – among them batting average, home runs and runs batted in. This onslaught is particularly jarring because in recent years virtually all these marks had begun to appear unattainable....

It was the first time that KKR were playing under the captaincy of Dinesh Karthik. DK won the toss and invited RCB to bat. The RCB side got off to a reasonable start courtesy Brendon McCullum’s power hitting. AB De Villiers joined the party afterward with his imperious hitting. However, both Virat Kohli and De Villiers fell to Nitish Rana on consecutive balls which applied the brakes on the scoring....

NBA League Pass: Sign up to unlock live out-of-market games (7-day free trial) The Warriors currently sit atop the Western Conference and have the NBA’s best record at 16-2. Thompson was asked a couple of days ago whether he believes the squad has enough to make a deep playoff run like some of the previous Warriors teams he’s played on, and Thompson replied in the affirmative. “Oh, yeah. We’re 15-2....

Kligerman, left without a ride when Swan Racing discontinued operations last month, was a teammate of Busch while a development driver at Penske Racing from 2009-2011 and they are roughly the same physical build. “Parker and I were teammates a few years ago when we were together at Penske and his feedback was always really good,” Busch said in a news release. “Plus, we’re built about the same, and that’s really important as we don’t want to have to adjust seats or pedal positions inside the racecar....

The crash resulted in Parker Kligerman's Swan Racing car getting lifted off the ground and flipping upside-down. Several drivers were racing in a big three-wide pack while practicing for Thursday's Budweiser Duel qualifying races. The crash began when Joey Logano appeared to hit Matt Kenseth — the same two drivers who caused a big crash in Saturday's Sprint Unlimited. The collision between Kenseth and Logano sent Paul Menard's car spinning toward the outside wall, where it hit Kligerman's No....

The German is keen to add to his squad in January, but appears set to miss out on Julian Draxler, with the Wolfsburg midfielder seemingly headed for Paris Saint-Germain. Klopp said he had problems with signing players who only joined for money, questioning their character. “We believe that if someone needs to be convinced by money, then at one point - when you really need character - you will not get it,” he told UK newspapers....

English football’s most fabled fixture failed to live up to pre-match billing for the second season in a row at Anfield as the sides played out a cagey 0-0 draw. The Reds perhaps worked out some of their frustrations in hammering Maribor 7-0 in the Champions League on Wednesday. And Klopp believes a battle with Mauricio Pochettino at Wembley ought to leave fans with greater value for their entrance fee....

The Merseyside club, who last won the league in 1990, demolished Hull City 5-1 on Saturday to move to fourth in the standings, five points behind leaders Manchester City. Liverpool have won at Arsenal and Chelsea, and thumped champions Leicester City 4-1 this season, with their only defeat coming against promoted Burnley. “I don’t like standing here with all these numbers and saying ‘brilliant, brilliant’. It is as good as it should be,” Klopp told Sky Sports....

The Reds go into the Merseyside derby with a one-point lead over Manchester City at the Premier League summit and face an Everton side seeking revenge, after Divock Origi’s last-gasp goal secured all three points for Klopp’s men in December’s reverse fixture. Everton are winless in 18 matches against Liverpool in all competitions – their longest ever slump against their local rivals – and Klopp wants his players to replicate the intensity that awaits them in the stands....

Prior to the fire season, populations of the indigenous marsupial had already declined in the state by nearly a third over the last three decades, due in part to climate change and pressure from dwindling habitats caused by agricultural and forestry development. Already vulnerable because of their dietary reliance on the flammable oil-containing eucalyptus tree, the koala’s inability to move quickly has made it fodder for the flames’ ferocity, with some estimates suggesting that up to a third of the 25,000 animals in the New South Wales have perished during the fire season....
