Manchester City forward Sterling was due to arrive at the camp on Tuesday but was delayed due to a mix-up with his flights from Jamaica back to the United Kingdom. Sterling has been the subject of a tabloid controversy this week after he was pictured with a tattoo of an assault rifle on his right leg . But Southgate is ready to move on from Sterling’s late arrival as England prepare for their first pre-World Cup friendly, against Nigeria at Wembley on Saturday....

The England winger provided the main talking point in another convincing victory for City when he stubbed his toe in the turf as he attempted a shot in the 24th minute and toppled over. Referee Viktor Kassai awarded a penalty despite there being no contact with a defender — much to the amazement of Shakhtar’s players, some of whom even laughed at the decision — and Gabriel Jesus converted the spot kick for 2-0 and the first of his three goals on the night....

The 29-year-old scored twice after Jamie Mackie had put the hosts in front by the 18th minute following goalkeeper Sam Johnstone’s howler. Adomah equalised from the spot late in additional time of first-half, before latching on to a pass from Conor Hourihane by the 54th minute to score the winner. “I think we were better. There is a better spirit, a better attitude among them. We have a bigger hunger and desire to achieve,” Bruce was quoted by Birmingham Mail....

Starting with the WGC-Cadillac Championship earlier this season, Bowditch had racked up five straight rounds of 80-plus in World Golf Championship events (with four more rounds of 80-plus coming between the two WGC events). But he shot a 2-over 72 on Friday at Firestone Country Club.

Fans were shocked as Suarez looked set to leave Anfield in the summer after expressing his frustration at again missing out on the Champions League. Arsenal made two bids, the second just over £40million, in an attempt to trigger a release clause. However, the Reds stood firm and insisted the controversial Uruguayan would be staying put. Suarez missed the first six games of the campaign as he completed his 10-match ban for biting Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic in April....

The right-hander was reinstated from the restricted list after serving an 80-game suspension after he tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in March, the team announced Tuesday. To make room for Wright on the 40-man roster, the team has placed Nathan Eovaldi on the 60-day injured list with a right elbow injury and optioned Josh Smith to Triple-A Pawtucket so Wright can be on the 25-man roster. Wright spent much of his suspension in extended spring training, then joined Pawtucket in five appearances....

black eye–visible around the world–to help the rest of us begin to see again." I ended on a hopeful note: “What kind of president does George W. Bush want to be? … If he seizes the moment, he could undertake a midcourse correction that might materially change the lives of millions. Katrina gives Bush an only-Nixon-could-go-to-China opportunity, if he wants it.” Some readers told me at the time that this was naive–that the president, if not indifferent to the problems of black people, as the singer Kanye West charged, was not going to do anything significant to help them....

High altitudes place many stresses on the human body. The lower oxygen levels make breathing harder, UV levels are higher and temperature fluctuations are greater. As a result, it was generally thought people did not start living in the mountains until relatively recently in human history. In 2014, however, scientists announced the discovery of a settlement in the Andes that dated back 12,000 years. This was the oldest evidence of high-altitude living ever discovered, raising questions about how and when humans adapted to these extreme conditions....

But Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger told reporters Wednesday he expects a clean game Sunday when the Bengals come to Heinz Field.

The U.S. Soccer Federation said Saturday that Steffen has a tight right hamstring and left training camp. He started the last four U.S. games, including Thursday’s 4-2 loss to Colombia in Tampa, Florida. Guzan is a 34-year-old veteran of two World Cup rosters and 58 international appearances. He is with the national team for the first time since the loss at Trinidad and Tobago last October that ended the Americans’ streak of seven straight World Cup appearances....

That is the view of a superstar performer at the Golden State Warriors who has helped to raise the bar on a basketball court and put himself in a position to secure a standing among the all-time greats. Messi has done likewise on a different sporting field, with the mercurial Argentine a five-time Ballon d’Or winner who has broken countless records and collected an enviable haul of collective and individual prizes....

The tournament was organised by the All India Football Federation (AIFF) between four teams from three different continents, with New Zeland and Chinese Taipei being the other two contestants. India thumped Chinese Taipei 5-0 in the opening game before grabbing another victory over Kenya with a 3-0 scoreline. Even a narrow 2-1 loss to New Zealand in the final group game could not prevent the hosts from entering the final where they beat the Harambee Stars yet again....

Trailing the Warriors by five points in Game 6, Memphis’ Jeff Green rose for a jumper that was clumsily defended, at best, by Andre Iguodala. The ball bounced free with no foul call from the officials and Stephen Curry picked it up, turned, and heaved the ball toward the hoop some 70 feet distant.

The Golden State Warriors star has been at the forefront in a dramatic shift to the way the game is played. Gone are the days when physicality was the predominant attribute required to succeed.

There’s his NBA MVP, 3-point contest win and first title. His daughter Riley recently turned three and he and his wife, Ayesha, just celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary. Now, he can add one more bullet point to an already decorated personal and professional resume. There doesn’t—at least for the moment—appear to be any sibling rivalry in the Curry household. Tuesday, Curry posted picture of Riley planting a big one on the family’s newest addition–baby girl Ryan....
