Arbeloa also represented Liverpool, Deportivo La Coruna and West Ham, for whom he only played three Premier League games last season prior to being released. “Many people have encouraged me to continue, saying that I have the physique to continue playing, but it has been more of a mental issue,” Arbeloa said to Marca....

When speaking of the China tariffs, the president said, “China is devaluing their currency. They’re also pouring money in. Their currency’s going to hell. But they’re also pouring money in. And that will totally pay for the tariffs. The tariffs are not being paid for by our people. It’s being paid for by China. Because of devaluation and because they’re pumping money in.” Trump said the U.S. has brought money in by the billions, and that the U....

Westbrook struggled in the Thunder’s Western Conference opening-round series defeat against the Portland Trail Blazers, who sealed a 4-1 victory.

Williams cited several reasons why he thinks Damian Lillard will not last in Portland despite Dame being big on loyalty and wanting to bring a championship to the team that drafted him. One such reason is the ongoing investigation into the franchise’s general manager’s work conduct.

Chancey Billups’ rape allegation and Damian Lillard’s shooting slump were also put into consideration by Williams before he made his declaration....

Manchester United entered the game determined to build on the momentum they gained from beating Liverpool 2-1 on Monday (August). Southampton put up a great fight on their home turf and ensured they ended the first half on level terms. Bruno Fernandes would later prove to be decisive, finding the back of the net shortly after the restart to hand Erik Ten Hag’s men another vital three points.

Throughout the 2021-22 season and even before that, the 23-year-old Frenchman was liked with a free transfer to Los Blancos.

“What’s wrong with her?” I heard someone ask. Another responded, “I don’t know.” I made sure to never act that way again. It became clear that there was something wrong with me.

I fantasized about how I ended up here: I must have crawled onto a spaceship from my home planet and accidentally crash landed on Earth....

But everything changed when I went traveling at the age of 26. I spent 21 months in Asia and South America, eating the cheapest food you could buy—usually pizza, pasta and noodles. It was very heavy on the gluten. When I returned home to London in 2001, I didn’t feel right. Whenever I had bread, I felt bloated and uncomfortable. I was also conscious of the fact that I looked different—I thought I looked six months’ pregnant....

Around that time, I’d been getting these sore throats, totally out of the blue. They were wiping me out for a week at a time, which with two young kids was pretty difficult.

It never crossed my mind that I would be diagnosed with anything serious....

I burst into tears as I felt my future crumbling before me....

I know, because I developed alopecia eight years ago. The first time I felt a bald patch, I felt sick in the very pit of my stomach. I rushed to the doctor, only to discover there is absolutely nothing they can do about alopecia; it just happens. I am a woman, but I know it’s the same for men; alopecia can be utterly soul destroying. The first time I experienced it, my hair took around eight months to fall out, but most recently it only took six weeks....
