Diego Simeone has accepted responsibility for the dramatic late loss at Villarreal that leaves Atletico Madrid's LaLiga title hopes hanging by a thread. Antoine Griezmann's controversial penalty looked to have given Atletico a 1-0 win to cut Barcelona's lead at the top of the table to eight points.

Simeone's options were restricted by injuries to full-backs Juanfran and Filipe Luis... Читать дальше...

Commanded by a colonel, the entire 3rd brigade of the 1st Armored Division was spread out for miles around the sandy grounds, partaking in a large exercise called Bulldog Focus.

On the periphery of the command center, we found a Bradley fighting vehicle, stationed in front of small berm. Читать дальше...

Russell Westbrook notched his fifth straight triple-double, and the Thunder prevailed 132-125 to snap Raptors' win streak at 11 and extend their own streak to six.

A number of the usual suspects found the back of the net this week as the Loan Report leads off with strikes from Lucas Piazon, Marco van Ginkel, and Michy Batshuayi, who combined to edge us closer to the 80-goal mark for the campaign. Headliners Piazon was the first to take a share of the headlines, scoring a smart goal in Fulham’s West London derby draw against Queens Park Rangers. The Whites could only draw 2-2, however, and their automatic promotion bid therefore took a slight hit. Tomas Kalas missed the match through injury. Читать дальше...

LONDON — Britain’s foreign minister said Sunday that he has evidence Russia has been stockpiling a nerve agent in violation of international law “very likely for the purposes of assassination.” Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said the trail of blame for the poisoning of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in the English city of Salisbury “leads inexorably to the Kremlin.” His comment came after a Russian envoy suggested the toxin used to poison the Skripals could have come from a British lab.
