Newly appointed Cardiff City boss has made a bold claim that on-loan winger Wilfried Zaha has the potential to go on and become as good a player as Real Madrid superstar and current Ballon d’Or holder Cristiano Ronaldo.

Zaha moved from Crystal Palace to Manchester united in June 2013 but hardly made any appearances for the Premier League champions....

The emotional moment for Peterson came during an appearance on Fox Nation’s Piers Morgan Uncensored on Wednesday. Morgan had asked Peterson about the Don’t Worry Darling director calling him the “pseudo-intellectual hero to the incel community” in Interview magazine, and Peterson responded by tearing up and saying, “You know people have been after me for a long time because I’ve been speaking to disaffected young men.” Peterson is a media personality known for his conservative views on issues, but he once was simply known as a clinical psychologist and a professor....

The Don’t Worry Darling director, 38, clapped back at the “baseless” speculation regarding her and the film’s leading lady, 26, in Vanity Fair’s October 2022 issue, which was published on Thursday. The cast has been surrounded by controversy before the movie even premiered at the Venice International Film Festival on Monday. Initially, reports surfaced alleging that Pugh opposed Wilde’s relationship with her co-star Harry Styles, 28. There was also chatter about her unusually quiet social media behavior surrounding the flick....

During a press conference at the Venice International Film Festival Wilde attended by The Independent, Wilde finally addressed the alleged drama between her and Pugh.

Arguably the best athlete in the history of the Olympics. Latynina won a total of 18 medals including 9 golds in her Olympic gymnastic career. No other athlete has more medals and she was the one responsible for making the Soviet Union a major force in the gymnastics. 0 votes

Van Dyken-Rouen will take a medical flight from Scottsdale to Denver on Wednesday so she can rehab at Craig Hospital, which specializes in spine injures. The six-time gold medalist severed her spinal cord and broke several ribs in the June 6 ATV crash near Show Low. She had no feeling in her legs and feet after the accident, and said last week that she is still paralyzed. Van Dyken-Rouen was the first American woman to win four gold medals in one games at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and won two more at Sydney four years later before retiring from competition....

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Loyalty only goes so far when national pride is at stake which is why Brazilian tennis player Bruno Soares has no problem passing on trade secrets about his usual doubles partner. Soares, ranked eighth in the world in doubles, joined forces with Andy Murray’s brother Jamie this year and together they gelled to such dynamic effect that they won the Australian Open title in January....

We had been warned about this. On Jan. 29, Bob Condron, director of media services for the USOC, sent out a refreshingly cut-to-the-chase e-mail to all reporter types heading to Salt Lake. Getting around out here, he wrote, “will not remind anyone of the Oklahoma land rush. It’ll be more like trying to check out of a hospital.” He then urged us to “make this a coinless Olympics,” to wear belt buckles “no bigger than a grain of rice” and to never, ever, under any circumstances, ask questions like, “Will my grenade go through the metal detector?...

Mumbai have been fairly dominant in the series thus far. They started with a four-wicket win and then followed it up with a thumping 231-run triumph.

Though they lost Hardik Tamore, Armaan Jaffer and Chinmay Sutar early, Yashasvi Jaiswal went on to score 90 runs off 116 balls with six fours and three sixes....

“I have a lot of hope, a lot of hunger to get started and to start to win this opportunity for myself,” he told reporters at Mexico’s team hotel Sunday night. Govea was the first Europe-based Mexico player to arrive in Northern California, where El Tri is gathering to prepare for Friday’s friendly match against Iceland at Levi’s Stadium.

This season, there are 24 names on that list — by far the most in league history. The NBA international imprint just keeps getting bigger, providing the sort of transformative impact the likes of which the league probably hasn’t seen since the ABA merger. One of the MVP front-runners at this point is Greece’s Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has led Milwaukee to the NBA’s best record entering Wednesday. Dallas’ Luka Doncic looks like an overwhelming favorite to become the first Slovenian rookie of the year....

Sanders turned 50 on Wednesday, so it’s the perfect time to reflect on what was unquestionably his greatest showing as a baseball player: the 1992 World Series. MORE: Remembering the greatest two-sport athletes Sanders was the biggest star on either team in that six-game series between the Braves and Blue Jays, though his contributions are often overlooked because his team — the Braves — lost the series (one of Atlanta’s four World Series losses during the ’90s; sorry, Braves fans)....

A wooden cube is 1 inch long on each side. How many form a cube 2 inches along each edge? Two, because a 2-inch cube is twice as big as a 1-inch cube. Eight. Two cubes make a tower. For a cube, you need two layers of 4. A ball rolls down a spiral track. The end of the track curves left. What path does the ball take when it comes off the track?...

That young man was my grandfather, Obie Scott, father to my mother, Coretta Scott King. His story is not unique in our nation’s history and unfortunately is one of many untold stories of the foundation of systemic racism that afflicts Black businesses and families to this day. This week marks the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre, a tragic event that for too long went ignored and unrecognized by history....

The Burma policy is a dead end. In North Korea, Bush has come to recognize that even a superpower can’t bargain by sheer force and offer nothing in return for something, even when dealing with a crude dictator. In Burma, however, “they’re saying give up power and then we’ll talk. It doesn’t make sense,” says Georgetown University Asia expert David Steinberg. General Khin Nyunt became prime minister amid growing international pressure over the detention of Suu Kyi, whom the United States claims was on a hunger strike last week....
