In soccer, this is what it is called when a team goes entirely on the defensive: parking the bus. (In Uruguay, it’s called “Luis bit someone again," but that’s another story). This is not a common tactic for American teams, certainly not for THE American team, the United States national team. It doesn’t happen often in Major League Soccer, but only this past season London club Chelsea earned significant results in the UEFA Champions League and the Premier League by aligning itself almost entirely in front of the goal it was protecting, with a single striker available to pounce on any opponent’s mistake....

With Joel Matip ruled out, Klopp fielded midfielders Emre Can and Georginio Wijnaldum in a three-man defence - and it worked to good effect as Liverpool romped to a 5-1 triumph at Brighton.

The Reds take a commanding 5-2 lead to Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday and are the overwhelming favourites to advance to the final.

Barca had a 4-1 first-leg advantage dramatically erased by the Giallorossi, who won 3-0 on home soil to advance on away goals....

But the Senegal forward lasted until the 77th minute and was on the pace of a lightning game, leaving Klopp impressed....

The 25-year-old, who tried and failed to manoeuvre a switch to Barcelona this summer, reported for training at Melwood on Thursday after returning from international duty. Liverpool 16/5 to beat City It was the first time he was involved in a full session since the club’s pre-season camp in Munich, where he complained of back pain ahead of final friendly against Athletic Bilbao.

Both Liverpool and Spartak drew their opening game in Group E and face each other in Moscow on Tuesday, but Klopp was left bemused as reporters in Russia repeatedly failed to discuss the game.

Instead of buying an expensive pair of sunglasses that eventually break, or that you leave at home when you are out on the water or being active, you can buy a pair of two of Knockaround sunglasses and use them when you are out and about. I enjoy not worrying about dropping, scratching or even forgetting the Knockaround sunglasses, as I did with expensive designer frames. Inspired by a pair of ‘knockaround’ sneakers that his dad used while mowing the lawn, Ace Moyer set out in 2005 to make a pair of sunglasses that were dependable and that you wouldn’t worry about getting beaten up....

Not all strokes affect language function because the language centers of the brain are located in a relatively small region of the dominant side of the brain (the side of the brain opposite your dominant hand.) Even when a stroke affects the language area, there isn’t a consistent “first language” vs. “second language” pattern. What actually happens is that bilingual stroke survivors have better overall thinking and problem solving abilities after a stroke than stroke survivors who spoke one language prior to the stroke....

City defeated the Gunners with minimal fuss on Sunday to lift the Carabao Cup, with Kompany, Sergio Aguero and David Silva getting the goals in a 3-0 win. Arsenal came under heavy criticism for their performance, particularly from television pundits Thierry Henry and Gary Neville, the latter accusing them of giving up and being “spineless”.
