data-mm-id=”_y5khgga0j”>Alex Morgan is playing in her fourth World Cup this month, but will it be her last? Morgan recently told PEOPLE that her body feels good and she is not ready to retire. Whether or not she'll feel the same way when the 2027 Women's World Cup comes around remains to be seen. Morgan was the youngest player on the 2011 US Women's National Team that lost the final to Japan. This time around she's one of the oldest, having just turned 34. When the next World Cup gets here in four years, she'll have just turned 38, which is the same age as Megan Rapinoe, who is about to play in her fifth and final World Cup. She'll also be two years younger than the oldest player in this year's tournament, Nigeria's Onome Ebi. Age ain't noth…
data-mm-id=”_5t8lttxbg”>During an appearance in New Hampshire on Monday, Donald Trump weighed in on the Republican House speaker race. He claimed to have talked to the contenders, then claimed it would be difficult for anyone to win the job. In fact, he said only one candidate had a real chance. That man? Jesus Christ. Check this out:Trump says only one person can clear the threshold to become Speaker: Jesus pic.twitter.com/VR2ofKLIhI— Acyn (@Acyn) October 23, 2023Given the currently makeup of House Republicans, I could actually see some pitfalls for Jesus in the voting. Keeping that 221-person conference on the same page is like herding feral cats. Just how dedicated would Jesus be to American ideals when he wasn't actually born in America? It's a question many are asking.…
data-mm-id=”_wronxbucy”>In-game interviews with NBA coaches tend to be a bit of a useless exercise. Which is fine! Not every interview needs a subject to give a deep, introspective and detailed answer to entertain the audience. In my viewing experience I have found that straying a bit off the beaten path for these in-game interviews tends to yield much more interesting answers. Or, at least, more fun answers. Interviewing people who don't get in front of the camera as often as the head coach or the star player is the way to go, and after many years of feeling this way I finally have proof of concept. It would seem Bally Sports Minnesota has a habit of interviewing Minnesota Timberwolves assistant coach Micah Nori during halftime of the team's games. They broadcasted a mashup…
data-mm-id=”_0odd37tg9″>The Dallas Cowboys have defied conventional wisdom and are bringing back Mike McCarthy as the team's head coach. When the news came across the wire Wednesday night, I audibly gasped. For some reason, despite a loaded list of potential replacements, Jerry Jones has embraced the mediocrity of McCarthy's tenure. He's making the same mistake he made with Jason Garrett. In his four seasons as the Cowboys' head coach, McCarthy is 42-25 in the regular season. He has posted three straight 12-5 seasons, and has two NFC East titles in that time. But he's 1-2 in the postseason, and is coming off a 48-32 home loss to a Green Bay Packers team that wasn't even expected to be in the playoffs. McCarthy is using the same script he had for most of hi…
data-mm-id=”_rsdcqzhy2″>Caleb Williams is participating in USC's pro day this afternoon, though there's probably nothing he could or could not do that would stop him from going to the Chicago Bears with the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. But there's always a chance something changes so every team has a representative out there to see if the former Heisman Trophy winner who has been almost universally pegged as a generational quarterback is any good. Also in attendance is Keenan Allen, who the Bears just acquired via a trade with the Los Angeles Chargers. The six-time Pro Bowler figures to be one of Williams' main weapons next year, along with D.J. Moore, in what is honestly one of the more attractive situations a top pick has been able to find themselves in recent…

Roy Keane insists Bruno Fernandes has failed to make those around him better at Manchester United and disagreed with Ian Wright s claim that the playmaker is a winner .
Fernandes scored a brace in and has been one of few shining lights for the Red Devils in a bang average season.
What has he won?
Wright has sympathy for the frustrated captain, but Keane wants to see far more from the Portugal international.
I think is a winner, Wright said on the Stick to Football podcast. He s frustrated. Whatever we say, he has his faults where he waves his arms up but he s the kind of player that is trying (to change things).
Keane was having none of it though, insisting: He s won nothing in his career, he s 29 years of age. What has he won in his career?

I don t know, we have no idea because we can t lip read. But there is obviously a problem there and they obviously disagree with something the manager is doing.
Man Utd one of the most poorly coached teams in the Premier League
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher was also critical of Ten Hag after the defeat to Palace, calling Man Utd one of the most poorly coached teams in the Premier League .
Carragher said on Sky Sports: That is a fact. That is not an opinion. That is a fact. The numbers tell you that when you see them bottom of the league defensively I struggled to see how United would win tonight but I thought Palace would win one or two nil.
No Manchester United team should be getting beaten 4-0 by Crystal Palace. Manchester United s Under-23 …
Jamie Carragher has revealed why ex-Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson did not appear in Sky Sports farewell video for Jurgen Klopp.
Henderson was s captain for most of Klopp s time as manager but he left the Premier League giants last summer to join Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq.

The England international received significant backlash for making this move as he had previously been a major advocate for the LGBTQ+ community.
The 33-year-old quickly grew to regret this move as it became clear at the start of the 2024 winter transfer window that he was looking for an escape route.

James Maddison has predictably missed out on a place in England s Euro 2024 squad after a poor performance against Bosnia on Monday.
We .
The other six players we expected to be culled were Curtis Jones, Jarrell Quansah, Jarrod Bowen, James Trafford, Ollie Watkins and Lewis Dunk, and it has already emerged that Liverpool pair Jones and Quansah will also miss out.
Maddison was selected by Gareth Southgate as part of the 33-man training group gearing up for this summer’s shot at glory in Germany.
He was introduced as a 61st-minute substitute in Monday’s 3-0 friendly win against Bosnia and Herzegovina at St James’ Park and then travelled with the England squad to London.
