It seems as if UEFA is serious about implementing FFP with their announcement today that they would be stopping prize money for 23 clubs that have breached the rules of FFP. As a part of FFP, all clubs need to give information about any overdue payments that they are yet to make. These payables could be either to the players, employees or to other clubs. After preliminary investigations, UEFA has released the list of clubs that still have overdue payments to be made....

Culter, 33, is coming off his best, most efficient season in Chicago. After losing Adam Gase, the offensive coordinator who finally fixed Cutler, the Bears wisely kept him in the same offense under his promoted QB coach, Dowell Loggains. MORE: Bears among underrated teams in ‘16 The Bears’ trust in Cutler was confirmed by their decision not to draft a would-be successor. He is in line for a better season, based on better health and youth around him....

Sarri was dismissed in the 94th minute at Stamford Bridge when referee Kevin Friend deemed the former Napoli coach’s reaction to a fracas between his Chelsea players and their Burnley counterparts was out of line. Said to be incensed by the decision, Sarri did not conduct his post-match media duties, with assistant Gianfranco Zola claiming that Chelsea’s manager had been sent off due to a misunderstanding. Zola also stated that the 60-year-old had been offended by comments made by members of Burnley’s coaching staff and frustrated by the Clarets’ “time wasting”....

The result means the USA have still not won on European soil in 25 years, their troubles summed up by Tiger Woods’ 0-4 record this weekend. Thomas Bjorn’s side had to hold off a fightback from the visitors, who at one point cut the gap to a solitary point, but reached the 14.5 points needed to secure the victory courtesy of Open champion Molinari’s 4 and 2 win over Phil Mickelson....

Former Everton and Manchester United boss Moyes was appointed until the end of this season last November, following a dreadful start to the campaign under predecessor Slaven Bilic. West Ham secured their top-flight status with two games to spare thanks to a 2-0 win at Leicester City, but Moyes has presided over a fraught time at the club. Supporters’ unhappiness with West Ham’s board has been evident since the club moved to London Stadium and those frustrations spilled over in unseemly fashion when some fans invaded the field and tried to storm the directors’ box during a 3-0 home defeat against Burnley in March....

Lovren was one of just two players retained in Klopp’s starting XI from last Thursday’s defeat to Premier League title rivals Manchester City but he pulled up during the early stages at Molineux. It meant 16-year-old Dutch defender Ki-Jana Hoever was introduced, becoming Liverpool’s youngster ever FA Cup player. Hoever played alongside defensive midfielder Fabinho at the heart of Klopp’s defence as goals from Raul Jimenez and Ruben Neves saw Wolves through, and the youngster’s countryman Virgil van Dijk is now the Reds’ only fit senior centre-back as Joe Gomez (broken leg) and Joel Matip (fractured collarbone) remain in rehabilitation....

Breast cancer vaccines aim to either prevent breast cancer from coming back or help treat it. They work by training the body’s immune system to fight cancer cells, just as a flu vaccine works by training the body to fight the flu virus. Many breast cancer vaccines are currently in development, and several have already been tested in early clinical trials. A clinical trial tests a treatment or preventive measure in human participants....

N. fowleri is a single-celled organism often found in warm freshwater systems such as lakes and rivers, as well as soil. It causes primary amebic meningoencephalitis—a central nervous system disease that leads to inflammation and destruction of the brain. Almost all cases are fatal, with just five known survivors across North America. In recent months, there have been at least two fatalities due to the brain-eating amoeba N. Fowleri. Thirteen-year-old Tanner Lake Wall, from Florida, died a few days after being infected with the amoeba while swimming in a lake....

The American has struggled for form in 2020, but made a fine start at Memorial Park Municipal Golf Course in Texas. Snedeker, who has just one top-10 finish in 17 events this year, mixed six birdies with a bogey in the opening round. He holds a two-shot lead over Cameron Davis, Michael Thompson, Scottie Scheffler, Harold Varner III, Carlos Ortiz and Jason Day, who all opened with 67s. The last time Snedeker held the 18-hole lead or co-lead on the PGA Tour was after his 59 at the 2018 Wyndham Championship, which he won....

At the close of play on day two at the Windward Cricket Club, WI HPC were 170 for two in their second innings, an overall lead of 322, after dismissing the visitors for 140, reports CMC. The 21-year-old Kraigg Brathwaite was unbeaten on 96 and was involved in an unfinished third-wicket stand of 90 with Leon Johnson (40) on Tuesday. Brathwaite has scored unusually quickly, facing 125 deliveries and counted ten fours and a six - a big stroke over long-on off left-arm spinner Taijul Islam that raised his half-century....

The 20-year-old rookie hit an opposite-field drive into the Braves’ bullpen in Game 1, powering Atlanta to a 9-1 victory. Haitian-American Touki Toussaint (1-0) pitched six strong innings to win his major league debut. It was more of the same from Acuna in the nightcap. He sent a towering shot into the seats in left-center, sparking the Braves to a 6-1 victory behind another strong outing on the mound from Mike Foltynewicz (10-7)....

The Cuban slugger moved up two spots on Friday night after hitting seventh in a 6-0 victory in Game 1 at Dodger Stadium. Puig was 0 for 3 with two strikeouts and a walk on Thursday night. He also scored a run. Manager Dave Roberts moved catcher Yasmani Grandal to eighth after he went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts hitting in the fifth spot in Game 1. The Dodgers kept their lineup intact in facing their second straight right-hander....

But a key cog in that well-oiled machine has gradually, and surprisingly, fallen out of the larger conversation, even though without his presence the Big Three of Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux and John Smoltz might not’ve been so big, except perhaps for their ERAs. Andruw Jones (Getty Images) MORE: John Smoltz’s career in pictures | How one pitch might have sent John Smoltz on his path to Cooperstown For more than 11 seasons, Andruw Jones roamed center field for the Braves like no one else in his era, boasting elite defense that was arguably as critical to the team’s success as Glavine’s guts, Smoltz’s slider and Maddux’s Madduxes....

Astros pinch hitter Aledmys Diaz lofted a 98.2 mph fastball from Braves reliever Tyler Matzek 70.7 mph off the bat with a 39 degree launch angle. The ball traveled 232 feet. Yet, in the top of the eighth inning, that was all it took to break up the combined no-hitter Atlanta had been spinning against Houston in Game 3 of the World Series. But that hit was one of only two on the night for the Astros as their bats were quieted by a stellar outing from starter Ian Anderson and a shutdown performance from the bullpen....

“Bravo is massively important from two perspectives. He is an incredibly experienced cricketer. His ability to control in those middle overs, when we need some control, bowl to his field, is wonderful to watch,” the former bowling coach of Indian team said ahead of CSK’s match against Mumbai Indians. “The number of balls he bowls that go down the ground for one or to the square for one he exactly knows whats going to happen is hugely important....

Although still struggling through a low-growth period, Brazil will bounce back. The real question is: how will Brazil use its assets to achieve long-term prosperity in a rapidly transforming world where, together with technological innovations, climate change looms larger every day? The good news is that choosing a sustainable growth path offers a significant economic opportunity for Brazil. Globally, it is projected that transitioning to a low carbon growth path could deliver a direct economic gain of US$26 trillion through 2030, adding 65 million low-carbon jobs in 2030 and bringing many other benefits....

Renato Augusto scored a brace and substitutes Lucas Lima and Gabriel also goaled for Brazi, while James Marcelin put in Haiti’s consolation goal. The scoreline – identical to Brazil’s nightmare 7-1 defeat by Germany in the World Cup semi-final two years ago – takes Brazil to the top of Group B with four points, ahead of the evening’s second game between Peru and Ecuador. Coutinho got Brazil off to a positive start in the Camping World stadium with a goal after 14 minutes when he skipped past a defender and hammered home from 20 metres out....

The premier Latin American continental tournament is set to kick off in Brazil on 14th June and will include all 14 South American nations along with invitees Qatar and Japan. In case you didn’t know… Brazil are yet to win a major international trophy since their 2016 Olympic Gold medal, with the Selecao faltering in the quarterfinals against Belgium in the 2018 World Cup. The 5-time world champions and most decorated international team in the history of the game has won only 8 Copa Americas, as compared to Uruguay’s 15 and Argentina’s 14 title wins....
