’No European football an advantage’ They turned up the terror and turned out Middlesbrough’s lights with incisive, electrifying play in a 3-0 victory on Wednesday night. It was a most welcome dismantling of the hosts, amid a backdrop of too much talk and too much distraction, with Jurgen Klopp deciding to remove Loris Karius from the relentless, unforgiving torrent of criticism. Simon Mignolet was back between the sticks to fuel the conversation further, but the Reds offered up more positive talking points against Aitor Karanka’s men....

Lallana has not played since the defeat to Swansea City on January 22 after suffering a “little tear” in his thigh, and his comeback was cut short just past the hour when he reacted angrily to a challenge from Tottenham Under-23 captain George Marsh.

The fresh scars caused by missing out on the 2014 World Cup made the idea of playing for the national team, and for Jurgen Klinsmann, even for one largely ceremonial appearances, too tough to bear.

The program could forgive up to $10,000 in student loans for those meeting certain income restrictions, with some economists saying the program would be capped for those who make more than $150,000 in adjusted gross income.

Businesses in the Peach State had been facing pressure to condemn the controversial SB 202 legislation passed in the GOP-majority state legislature and signed by Governor Brian Kemp. The bill, which imposes voter ID requirements and limits drop boxes, is under fire from Democrats.
