For Pulisic, the list of people who helped him is a long one, from family to youth coaches. But two men played the most instrumental roles in helping him navigate the pressure cooker of high-level European soccer, which has been known to chew up and spit out even the most talented prospects. Pulisic’s father, Mark, and his first professional club manager, Thomas Tuchel, were instrumental in seeing him go from Borussia Dortmund youth team player to regular contributor as Dortmund won the DFB-Pokal title....

Ten years ago Peyton Manning met Drew Brees in the Super Bowl, Matt Schaub led the league in passing yards and Brees, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger, Philip Rivers and Eli Manning were all in the top 10. Seven of that top 10 remain on teams in 2019 but only two - Rivers and Brady - featured among the leaders in that category this season. Brees, Brady et al are used to completing passes, only this time it’s the baton that is changing hands....

‘’Mr Dennis Fernandes (CEO, India Rush SC) hadn’t planned to push a women’s team in 2018; he’d thought of doing it in a two-to-three year period. But when the opportunity came, he realized he could combine it with the women’s empowerment programme and push the team forward. However, when approached, it was informed to me that I would have a short period to work with the team which was absolutely fine with me,’’ Bolton tells Goal....

In a city that knows fashion, Galeries Lafayette is laying France’s reputation for unparalleled style on the bottom line. Located mere blocks from such style-setters as Bergdorf Goodman and Henri Bendel, it is counting on French culture, French sophistication and French snobbery to lure customers. “This will be the store of Parisian chic,” says Meyer, Galeries Lafayette’s chairman and chief executive. “We all know that French women have this wonderful, innate way of putting themselves together to make a personal look....

In case you didn’t know… Asuka won the 2018 Royal Rumble and opted to face Charlotte for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at this year’s WrestleMania. Charlotte is seen as Asuka’s toughest opponent to date and many of the WWE Universe thought that The Queen would be the one to end the lengthy streak. Asuka has seen her way past many of the toughest women on NXT and Raw over the past few years, but Ronda Rousey’s arrival in WWE has meant that there are now two dominant women on the brand and a showdown between them could be in the works....

Battle Royale matches on PUBG Mobile last for a longer period compared to Free Fire. Instead of 100 players, only 50 players can land on a hostile island and fight for their survival in Free Fire. PUBG Mobile does not have unique characters like Free Fire and players do not have special advantages that they can use in matches. Comparison between Free Fire and PUBG Mobile PUBG Mobile and Free Fire are compared on the basis of the graphics and FPS support they offer:...

The Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune ran this extraordinary exercise in backpedaling on page one, where it belonged, but most other major papers buried it inside. The New York Times gave the story barely 300 words on page A22. The New York Post didn’t mention it at all, perhaps because it happened soon after it turned out the link between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck had also been overstated....

Rear Admiral Marc Aussedat, the head of a task force that features the Charles de Gaulle nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, said reconnaissance flights are being carried out to help French forces on the ground observe the Islamic State (IS) and that weapons will be used if needed. “Why are we doing this mission?…First of all, is to give to these forces, coalition and Iraqi security forces, the means to fight the regeneration of Daesh on the ground....

The Spaniard, seemingly focused and determined, broke Serena early to take a 2-1 lead and make a positive beginning to the match. Any hopes of a prompt response by Williams were immediately dashed as Muruguza broke a second time to a commanding 4-1 lead. Serena was clearly unable to respond to the terrifying assault from the young Spaniard and there were already murmurs around the court about whether we were about to witness a major upset....

Catalan newspaper El Mundo Deportivo reported on Monday that Barcelona’s sporting director Roberto Fernandez has spoken with the Frenchman and his club to see if there is a possibility of hiring his services. Gignac, 30, who played with France in Euro 2016, is one of the favourites to join Barcelona on the bench as a substitute for the attacking trio of Lionel Messi, Lui Suarez and Neymar, reports Efe....

While the most prominent issue with Friday the 13th The Game is long wait times for matchmaking, the latest problem is a database login failure error. Essentially this prevents players from even logging into the game, and renders the app useless. Official word from the developers is that the team is working around the clock to fix any and all issues, and to be patient. They also haven’t made any official announcement, but it appears that any experience earned during matches is not being added to players....

The Spring Break DLC likely has no release date due to it being reliant on the release of Friday the 13th’s big Clothing Update first. Right now Friday the 13th doesn’t have the functionality to allow for counselor outfits to be unlocked. Players are limited to the default clothing for each camp counselor, as well as the customization options already available. The Clothing Update adds the outfit functionality as well as reworks the way players customize their clothes, making it easier than ever to dress for success....

“JSA” is not very plausible. The movie’s scenes of free and easy fraternization would be wildly unthinkable in real life. On the other hand, the North and the South may be on the cusp of a historic rapprochement–and that has sparked interest in this movie. Two weeks ago Pyongyang announced that early next year the North’s leader, Kim Jong Il, will visit Seoul. And in Sydney, North and South Korean athletes wearing identical national uniforms marched hand in hand in the Olympic opening ceremonies....

He is joined by other tech billionaires Elon Musk and Bill Gates, who are worth $151 billion and $124 billion respectively.

Here are some notable celebrity members of Forbes’ current billionaire list. Kim Kardashian West Kim Kardashian West is officially a billionaire, according to the financial publication, which places the reality star’s net worth at $1 billion....

Don’t take it personally, Dave. Last spring “Twin Peaks” may have rivaled Donald Trump as the most-talked-about subject at the office water cooler. Now the show is sinking fast. The most recent Nielsen ratings ranked “Peaks” a dismal 75th place for the year out of 101 primetime programs. Viewership has fallen by more than 2 million households since last May, and “Peaks” is now ABC’s third lowest-rated series, barely beating out the Vietnam drama “China Beach” and the police-opera “Cop Rock....

Based on Raydiant’s State of Consumer Behavior 2022 report, there are three factors that consumers today expect most from in-store experiences: value, good products and convenience. Within these general categories are more specific demands that every brick-and-mortar retailer should attend to. With shoppers proving increasingly thrifty while shopping less and less, it’s more important than ever for retailers to prioritize consumer needs. Retail sales have already shown symptoms of inflationary fatigue, and the most cynical pundits have described shopping as “painful” for consumers....

The guidance is the latest in a series of measures implemented by the CDC in an attempt to combat the spread of the coronavirus. According to information compiled by Our World in Data, the U.S. alone has recorded 34.9 million cases since the pandemic first spiked in March, 2020. Since then, Americans have seen mask mandates, social distancing and self quarantine guidelines implemented and adjusted by the CDC as the pandemic continued....

Few hints are provided to the nature of Elden Ring in the short cinematic trailer. The Elden Ring, an important item within the game’s universe, is said to have “commanded the stars” and “given life its fullest brilliance.” The Elden Ring, however, has been shattered. The trailer shows a character, perhaps the players, smashing what’s assumed to be the Elden Ring with a hammer. As the ring is destroyed, so shatters the character’s body....
