The Glamour Boys have not won a major trophy in over two seasons, and while they are still in the running for a league title, the Nedbank Cup remains their only realistic hope of ending the trophy drought. Castro, who has netted three goals since joining Amakhosi during the mid-season transfer window, wants his teammates to attack from the word go. Baroka though, have proven to be a hard nut to crack for Chiefs in the past, but the Soweto giants will be buoyed by their recent league win over the Limpopo-based outfit, which saw Castro open his goalscoring account for the club....

The attack occurred at around 3 a.m on Tuesday in Gujarat state, western India, The Indian Express reported. Raju and Jasuben Chogle were asleep in an abandoned hospital near the village of Jambuda in Visavadar district when the leopard approached. The big cat mauled Raju Chogle, a 50-year-old laborer from the neighboring state of Maharashtra, on the neck. Other laborers were nearby and called the emergency services. The couple were transported to a hospital in nearby Junagadh....

The decision comes after Kansas placed the third-year coach on administrative leave Friday as it reviewed allegations of sexual misconduct from an internal investigation by LSU, Miles’ former employer. Kansas athletic director Jeff Long, who hired Miles in his second year on the job in 2019, said the university will begin a search for a replacement coach immediately. “I am extremely disappointed for our university, fans and everyone involved with our football program," Long’s statement read....

IYER: Shady 2K? Why to buy into LeSean McCoy rushing for 2,000 yards Now, it’s not entirely sure whether McCoy’s tweet is truthful. We only have one photo from his personal Twitter account and no video exists that we know of. You can see the benefit of catching the ball blindfolded, increasing the tactile response of his fingers separate from his eyesight, but McCoy also includes a reference to his nickname “Shady” so it could just be a plug for his new Nike training shoe that comes out on Sept....

The victory of the right-wing Brothers of Italy party and its leader Giorgia Meloni came on top during an election with a historically low voter turnout. Yet, analysts noted Meloni’s victory was due to more than just low voter turnout. Italy’s Democratic Party, the country’s main center-left party, earned just 19 percent of the vote—the worst performance in the party’s history. “We need to become a European-style Labor Party, one with European values—that’s the lesson from this recent election,” said Francesco Senese, a senior official with the Democratic Party in Naples....

Vegas is the kitsch of high capitalism run amok. License, instant gratification, dreams made real. Small wonder 35 million Americans escape here each year, 110,000 of them to be married. That’s why we’re here. No need to say more, except to intimate a shotgun and note that we are proud parents of a darling little girl, 6 months old and cute as a bug’s ear. So out we flew, without cares or plans, arriving at Caesars Palace a little after 1:30 a....

A Tragic Failure of Intelligence I really enjoyed your June 10 cover story, “The 9/11 Terrorists the CIA Should Have Caught.” I hope to see more reporting that forces the CIA, the FBI and particularly the White House to stand up and begin to accept their responsibility for September 11. As a retired 24-year Army veteran with roots in Vietnam, I am wounded to my heart and soul to see the continuing decline of a responsible government....

I’d anticipated that sharing this admittedly anecdotal item over lunch with the sharp cofounders 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....

The seven-time Formula One world champion is part of a consortium of wealthy investors from the business and sporting sectors looking to buy the club from owner Roman Abramovich. The group, headed by former Liverpool chairman Sir Martin Broughton, also includes 23-time Grand Slam tennis champion Serena Williams. Speaking to reporters about Hamilton’s involvement in the Chelsea bid, Verstappen said: “I am a PSV fan and I would never buy Ajax....

The Catalan coach arrived at the Etihad Stadium in the summer of 2016 having forged a reputation as one of the finest managers in world football during stints at Barcelona and Bayern Munich. He was, however, to find the going tough in England and endured a first season without major silverware. ‘Utd only got Mou because of Pep’ Gallagher feels further failure would leave the club with no choice but to make another change in the dugout, with Guardiola under pressure to deliver domestic and European success....

Pan Am flight 103, traveling from London to New York, exploded over Lockerbie on December 21, 1988, killing all 259 people aboard the plane and another 11 on the ground in what remains the deadliest terror attack on British soil. The U.S. charged Abu Agela Mas’ud Kheir Al-Marimi for his alleged involvement in the bombing two years ago. “The families of those killed in the Lockerbie bombing have been told that the suspect Abu Agela Mas’ud Kheir Al-Marimi is in U....

The first reflex last week was to “harden” government facilities. Officials placed more than 8,000 federal buildings on “second-level alert,” requiring all employees and visitors to identify themselves “until further notice” - notice that may be a long time coming. In Washington, D.C., and New York, where the risk was deemed greatest, bomb-sniffing dogs screened suspicious cars and packages. Security at the White House was especially intense. As one press aide returned to her office from a nearby bakery, Secret Service agents seized the pastry she was carrying and X-rayed it....

Did you dream of this day?Have you done much flying? Is your family pleased? My mother said: “Juan Pablo, are you stupid?” Nervous?

The incident occurred at around midday at the Tellikhari Ferry Ghat on the bank of Padma River in the western district of Chapainawabganj, Shibganj Police Station chief Farid Hossain said. Shibganj Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Shakib-Al-Rabbi told the Dhaka Tribune that the group had just left in a boat carrying them to Panka in Shibganj from Narayanpur in Chapainawabganj. But the boat was forced to dock at the Tellikhari Ferry Ghat in Chapainawabganj due to heavy rain and the group took shelter under a thatched shed there....

That’s what the Charlotte 49ers did Saturday night. In front of 11,469 fans — that’s more than attended the final two home games last season in the 15,000-seat stadium — and under the newly installed lights at Jerry Richardson Stadium for the first time, the 49ers gave fans a taste of what they’ll see in Charlotte’s first season as a FBS participant. BENDER: With Cardale Jones, seeing is believing | FERGUSON: Muschamp already making his mark...

“I think going back to when we started these in 2008, Alabama and Clemson had the foresight to play in our first kickoff game,” Stokan told Sporting News. “When you look at the top two programs in the country right now it’s Clemson and Alabama. Give credit to those coaches to those ADs, the athletic departments who want to go out and schedule tough opponents.” That’s obviously not the only reason the Crimson Tide and Tigers are ranked No....

The new ad, entitled “Stock Lies,” addresses corruption allegations surrounding Perdue being investigated for insider trading. Perdue previously invested hundreds of thousands in a pharmaceutical company and producer of personal protective equipment following a January 24 closed Senate briefing on the coming coronavirus epidemic. Perdue’s new ad claims that he wasn’t at the January 24 senate briefing and that he was “totally exonerated” of any wrongdoing by a bipartisan Senate Ethics Committee, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)....

During a Friday interview on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, Giuliani alleged that the insurrection from pro-Trump supporters was organized by a person with ties to the Lincoln Project. “I don’t know if I can reveal his name,” Giuliani said. “Because we have that from anonymous sources. But he worked in the past for [Utah Senator Mitt] Romney.” MSNBC host Ali Velshi played a segment from Giuliani’s appearance on Bannon’s podcast on Saturday morning....
