The 20-year-old Germany international recently suggested that he would be interested in a move to the Bavarians if he were to leave Leverkusen. However, Voller believes that moment is still far away at this stage.

The 68,500-seat stadium in Santa Clara, California, has been chosen to host the Gold Cup final July 26, CONCACAF announced Wednesday.

Chicharito set to miss Leverkusen’s trip to Hamburg “Levi’s Stadium has quickly earned a place among America’s top venues in terms of atmosphere, amenities and fan experience,” CONCACAF president Victor Montagliani said in a news release....

I’d anticipated that sharing this admittedly anecdotal item over lunch with the sharp co-founders of one of the world’s most successful Internet sites would lead to an intense grilling as to why this sudden exodus occurred. (My son thinks MySpace has too many ads and the pages are ugly. He also doesn’t like the spam from alleged “friends” selling ringtones and other stuff, a problem that MySpace is trying to address....

Written by the Christian theologian William Stanley, The Faith and Practice of a Church of England-Man seemingly provides an overview of the principles and beliefs that members of the religious sect are expected to hold. Stanley himself held a number of positions within the church before he died in 1731, according to the University of Cambridge. Sheffield Cathedral was built in 1430 but was known as Sheffield Parish Church until 1914....

I think the connection is very different from that. For in innumerable other sectors of American life, unbeautiful, unglamorous and unfashionable people are nowadays living and behaving in the same distinctively strange and showy ways that mark the so-called ““celebrity culture.’’ What has happened is not that a bunch of enviably thin, rich and well-coiffed people have taken to living life in a kind of image-driven way, as if continuously onstage or under the lens....

The network’s head of programming Amy Winter said of this at a recent press event, “this year, we’re even more proud to announce one of our Christmas movies will feature an LGBTQ lead story because, at Lifetime, the holidays truly are for everyone.” This could be seen as subtle shade to their holiday movie rivals Hallmark, who they are beating to the punch by featuring a gay couple in The Christmas Set-Up....

Wilson, a political strategist whose group targets President Donald Trump and his allies, took aim specifically at Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Ken Buck (R-CO), Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA)—mentioning each by name. He also mentioned, more widely, others who have complained about what they deem censorship on platforms. “They act as if they’ve been oppressed somehow, that the world is against them somehow,” he said on MSNBC....

Beyond running ads on Facebook and YouTube, part of the group’s analytics effort includes a sophisticated campaign that serves ads to seniors based on the news they’re reading, and the group has seen a marked increase in engagement in Florida,Texas, and to a lesser extent in Ohio from seniors who are reading about Trump contracting COVID-19. “Once the president got COVID, everything moved with seniors,” Mike Madrid, a Lincoln Project co-founder told Newsweek....

The 25-year-old has often been deployed in a wide attacking role since making the breakthrough at Old Trafford. He has, however, been moved inside by Jose Mourinho at times this season, with the absence and loss of form from others opening the door to a No. 10 berth. Lingard has revelled in a position which allows him to make more of an impact, with what proved to be the match-winning effort in a 2-1 victory at West Brom taking him to seven goals for the season....

Messi headed home a Marc Bartra cross in the first half to draw level with Cristiano Ronaldo on 70 Champions League strikes and added another in the second period to tie with former Madrid captain Raul on 71 goals in Europe’s premier club competition.

Reports state that Messi’s two-year contract with PSG gives him a $41 million annual net salary, including bonuses. The contract also contemplates an option for a third year. In addition, The Athletic tacks on a near $30-million signing bonus, while Forbes reports that the player will also get a cut of player image rights, including jersey sales, which could potentially bump his annual salary up to the $75 million range....

The invisible work that the best teams and individuals do away from the field is not always evident at the French giants, where some players have earned a reputation for living life in the fast lane and acting out when things do not go their way. On the field, problems have manifested as angry outbursts when facing adversity, most recently typified by Idrissa Gueye’s red card in the second leg of last season’s Champions League semi-final defeat to Manchester City....

They’re going to need him Sunday against Green Bay’s red-hot offense. MORE: How Lions can end up with No. 2 seed Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been on fire during the Packers’ five-game winning streak. Rodgers, who has 4,128 passing yards and 36 touchdowns with only seven interceptions, hasn’t thrown a pick since Week 10. He has 14 touchdown passes in the six games since. His favorite target during that stretch has been Jordy Nelson, who leads NFL receivers with 14 touchdowns....

Let’s start with the title: “Blackout” refers to “blocking out negativity and embracing life fully,” according to her label. Oh, right. Her label, Jive, is generating its own buzz because Zomba, Jive’s parent company, is suing celebu-blogger Perez Hilton for copyright infringement for illegally posting Spears tracks on his Web site. Bad publicity is still publicity. Even though Hilton’s christening the pop star “Unfitney,” is unflattering, Spears’s single, “Gimme More,” has reached No....

Listeria is commonly found in soil and the stool of many animals, which is likely why it is so easy for food to become contaminated. Although cooking foods appropriately and pasteurization can kill the Listeria bacteria, that isn’t going to help for contaminated foods like cantaloupe, for which the bacteria can even get inside the fruit. Many cases of food poisoning can be prevented by following basic food safety techniques, including washing your hands, separating foods so they don’t contaminate each other, cooking foods to appropriate temperatures, and refrigerating foods within two hours....

When I was 8 years old, there was a book fair in the library at Murray Avenue Elementary School. My parents gave me money to buy a book. An enthusiastic baseball fan, I came home with a copy of “Mystery at the Ball Park.” I didn’t know it but my life was about to change. “Mystery at the Ball Park” was the first of six “Mel Martin baseball stories” written by John R....
