Projecting Arena’s WCQ roster Even with all that analysis, Arena could have some really difficult decisions to make … the decisions U.S. Soccer hired him to make at this important moment in qualifying. Decisions that could determine whether the U.S. plays in the 2018 World Cup, or sees its streak of seven straight World Cup appearances ended. Goal has decided to help Arena with his decisions by providing some input into the training camp roster decisions....

U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann made the decision earlier this week to name Bradley as captain and spoke about his desire to allow Dempsey to focus on his performance after controversy swirled around him for the past two weeks.

I think the perception is sound, that the Clinton White House has erred big time in this respect and, oddly, that it has done so in an innocent or at least unaware way. Whatever the outcome of the actual substantive charges in the Whitewater affair turns out to be, I am certain that the current political troubles of the administration owe a great deal to this almost blithe disregard of the importance of establishing lines of responsibility for actions in government....

Tobias Harris scored 22 points, Lou Williams added 20 and Los Angeles defeated Minnesota 120-109 Monday night, dropping the Timberwolves to 0-6 on the road this season. Led by Butler and Derrick Rose, the Wolves rallied in the fourth when the duo combined to score 22 of the team’s 25 points. Rose finished with 21 points and Butler had 16 of his 20 in the final period. “He’s Fourth Quarter Jimmy....

MORE: Deadline winners and losers | Clippers turned down everyone on Griffin What happened next was social media at its finest. People responded directly to the Clippers tweet or subtweeted by jokingly using the hashtag #Family. Here’s a collection of tweets: You get the idea.

The defeat means the Clippers are now 0-8 when presented with a chance of reaching the Conference Finals and they did more than anyone to extend their playoffs curse after squandering a 3-1 lead. In Game 6, the Clippers threw away a 16-point advantage at halftime and were outscored 64-35 in the second half as the Nuggets forced the series to a decider. The same scenario unfolded on Tuesday night, with Denver outscoring the Clippers 50-33 in the second half to wipe out a two-point deficit, with L....

Shelly Sterling struck a deal to sell the Clippers to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer after Donald Sterling’s racist remarks to a girlfriend were publicized and the NBA moved to oust him as team owner.

Following their Game 3 victory over the Rockets on Friday, the Clippers are now only two wins away from the Western Conference Finals. Chris Paul is working his way back into the lineup after suffering a hamstring injury in the first round, Blake Griffin is playing like a young LeBron James, and Austin Rivers is blowing everyone’s minds by doing whatever we want to call what he’s doing.

But, very few had seen him with the ball when he was a determined young kid in Argentina, playing for his local Newell’s Old Boys, an Argentine sports club based in Rosario, Santa Fe, or when he was enrolled into Barcelona’s iconic youth academy, La Masia. Here is a compilation of a few clips of young Messi while he was playing for Old Boys and La Masia: 0 votes

Immediately after the game, the Dodgers announced that Kershaw would get an MRI after his back tightened up midway through his start. But there was something else more concerning about Kershaw’s start — his pitch velocity. MORE: How ‘hybrid’ pitchers prepare for dual roles in rotation, bullpen Kershaw’s average fastball velocity Thursday was at its lowest ever, and it was his worst start by 1.4 mph. Kershaw’s previous low came in a 2012 start when he was pitching through the flu, so if we wipe that off the board....

The junior quarterback left little to overscrutinize after that. He backed his billing as the best player in college football as the No. 1 Tigers (1-0, 1-0 ACC) flexed in a 37-13 victory, a result that wasn’t exactly shocking considering they were 33.5-point favorites coming in. Lawrence (22-of-28 passing, 351 yards, three total touchdowns) also backed up what he did off the field in the offseason, when he established himself as a leading voice in the push to play amid the COVID-19 pandemic....

In an angry election season, this could be Gingrich’s moment. He’s a bomb thrower, and this time he’s hurling smart bombs, blasting risk-averse candidates and the army of consultants that have sapped all spontaneity out of the presidential-election process. His fury at the ways of Washington echoes the way he tapped into voter disgust with the status quo in 1994 when he led the Republican revolution that captured control of the House for the first time in 40 years....

Lieberman would never admit it, but it must irk him the way Obama is celebrated as a politician for the post-partisan age while Lieberman himself is scorned by Democrats for adding the ‘Independent’ label to his Democratic Party registration. In the partisan skirmishes that dictate today’s politics, Lieberman is in limbo. Neither side fully trusts him, though his standing among Republicans is higher because of his support for the Iraq War, a position that colors their view of him in a positive way, just as it turns off Democrats....

Romney is campaigning on a theme of “change,” and no one has changed as much as he has. He’s remade himself to the point where it’s hard to find a legitimate evolutionary thread in anything he says. A lot of broadcast time and column inches have been expended on probing exactly when and how Romney established his pro-life bona fides. But the journey is pretty straightforward, even if Romney isn’t: he never would have been elected governor of Massachusetts if he ran as pro-life....

The man climbed atop a British Airways plane and glued his hand to the roof during a protest at London City Airport. He has now been identified as Irish paralympian James Brown, who Brown is registered as visually impaired and won the bronze medal for cycling in the 2012 Olympics. “I hate heights,” he said. “This is about the climate ecological crisis. They [the British government] declare a climate emergency and then do nothing about it....

As good as those performances were, though, they will not be rewarded for their efforts as NASCAR announced Wednesday that both men were assessed an L1 penalty and docked 20 driver and owner points as punishment. Bowyer drives for Stewart-Haas Racing. Suarez is with Joe Gibbs. Both drivers had rear-window violations. “We had a minor part failure due to the heavy loads and track conditions experienced at Dover,” Stewart-Haas Racing vice president of competition Greg Zipadelli said in a statement....
