In June 2017, 42-year-old Nicole Gordon went to the hospital complaining of memory loss, severe headaches and trouble speaking. Doctors at Atlanta Medical Center conducted an examination and found a bullet lodged in her skull, but Gordon had no memory of being shot. She could only tell investigators that she remembered having an argument with her boyfriend, Jerrontae Cain, weeks earlier, during which the driver’s-side window of her car shattered and she lost consciousness....

In a viral Reddit post published on r/AmITheA******, Redditor u/maleficent8080 (otherwise referred to as the original poster, or OP) said she had concealed her pregnancy for weeks—from everybody but one person: her fiancé’s sister. Titled, “[Am I the a******] for uninviting my future sister-in-law from my wedding after she told my fiancé I was pregnant?” the post has received nearly 14,000 upvotes and 5,500 comments in the last day....

Laura Lao moved to the U.K. from Hong Kong in March. A photographer, on July 16 she had been working and popped into the Acai Berry cafe to have a drink. Lao told Newsweek: “I put my bag next to my feet. A man in a pink top walked into the restaurant, moved my bag with his feet, and finally took my bag away.” “When I entered the restaurant there were four or five girls there,” she explained: “Due to the space with only women I let my guard down....

Rightfully so. It is pioneering women like them that have blazed the trail for other women in the sport of hockey, bringing female representation to the forefront. It’s always important to reflect on the past, but what about the future? There are a number of young, budding stars in the world of women’s ice hockey that have just scraped the surface of helping grow the game. Fans had the privilege of seeing a number of those players last month at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, where Canada and the United States battled it out for the gold medal....

Rapinoe was always one to embrace challenges. She played high school basketball with men and made 300-mile round trips three times a week just to train and play for Danny Cruz’s team Elk Grove Pride in her teens. In 2003, Cruz’s team — which featured two future USA internationals in Rapinoe and Stephanie Cox — moved up an age group and made it all the way to the finals of the national championship....

Phil Neville’s side dominated much of an entertaining encounter at the Allianz Riviera and Parris scored her 13th international goal with a 14th-minute penalty — her first successful spot kick in an England shirt. The combination of Parris and her Lyon teammate Lucy Bronze on the England right was at the heart of the Lionesses’ best play and Scotland could not match their quality despite battling tirelessly throughout. White spearheaded England’s attack, providing them with a constant outlet, and got her reward for a performance full of poise and determination with England’s second, which put the game out of Scotland’s reach despite Claire Emslie’s 79th-minute consolation strike....

The United States forward and her peers figure to have enough pictures like this to overwhelm an Instagram account by the time the Women’s World Cup final is played July 5.

The safe shot was to lay up on the 14th and take his chances with a wedge “The idea was to play for the win,” Woodland said. With an extra boost of confidence from his caddie — Brennan Little, who was on the bag for Mike Weir in his Masters victory — Woodland delivered the shot of his life with a 3-wood that narrowly cleared a bunker, settled on the edge of the green and set up a birdie that gave him the cushion he needed....

Better yet, he didn’t hurt anyone in the gallery. Woods still walked away Friday realizing he made it a little tougher on the weekend at Carnoustie if he wants to end a decade without winning a major. A rugged start, a strong recovery, a few putts for birdie, a few he missed for par, and it added to an even-par 71. “I could have cleaned up the round a little bit,” he said....

The US PGA Championship winner and a resurgent Woods are among the leading candidates tipped to compete for the green jacket, along with the likes of Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson. Thomas played nine practice holes with four-time Masters champion Woods at Augusta on Monday and revealed his fellow American was being less forthcoming with advice than when he was injured. “I think that Tiger’s probably going to be a little bit more… a little harder to get stuff out of than when he was he was hurt and I was asking him questions,” the world number two said at his pre-tournament media conference on Tuesday....

Forget malt shops and roller rinks. The hot after-school hangout these days is the American workplace. Between 1981 and 1989, the percentage of 16- and 17-year-olds working grew from 35.5 percent to 37.6–a slight increase, but one that may surprise many newly prosperous parents who feared that their spoiled kids might never clean their rooms, let alone hold down a job. On the contrary. Now experts worry that impressionable youngsters are spending too much time in front of the short-order grill and not enough time with their schoolbooks....

After Twitter moved to place a fact-check warning on Trump’s tweets and then fully blocked a tweet that the company said glorified violence, Facebook came under enormous pressure to do the same. But Mark Zuckerberg said that Facebook wouldn’t be “arbiters of truth” and refused to take down or block and of Trump’s posts. Protests have become widespread in the US in the wake of the death of black man George Floyd in Minnesota at the hands of a white police officer....

If he makes the cut for Australia’s 23-man squad, the 38-year-old Cahill has a good chance of becoming just the fourth player to score in four consecutive World Cups. When Australia needs goals it turns to Cahill. The forward has scored almost half of the team’s World Cup goals: 5 of 11. The Socceroos have Cahill to thank for their first World Cup win in 2006 by scoring late goals against Japan....

Five minutes into the second half of Monday’s Group G clash in Salvador, he tried to take on the entire German defense alone. Almost inevitably, he was quickly and easily dispossessed, allowing Joachim Low's men to break and engineer an opening for Mesut Ozil that really should have been taken. All the while, Ronaldo had remained on halfway, hands on hips, cheeks puffed out, clearly bemused by the futility of his efforts....

(Source: RealGM Soccer) Sergei Bobrovsky, Ilya Bryzgalov, Semyon Varlamov, et. al can relate, sort of. Akinfeev's second-half gaffe briefly gave South Korea a 1-0 lead. Russia equalized minutes later, to, um, soften the blow of this softie. The match ended 1-1. Russia manager Fabio Capello was in a forgiving mood after his side managed a point. "A keeper always has the chance to make a mistake," Capello told Sport Ekspress....

Ronaldo hat-trick sends Portugal through The second leg of the playoff between Sweden and Portugal began with the Portuguese holding a 1-0 advantage from the first leg and at half-time the teams went in goalless, despite a few good chances coming Portugal’s way. The game burst into life though in the second half, with Sweden showing much more impetus in attack and Portugal content on sitting back and striking on the counter....

In my lifetime I remember the Zinedine Zidane headbutt on 2006, I remember the sheer anger from Luis Suarez’s handball in 2010 and the drama of the penalty shootout between France and eventual champions Italy in 2006. The bottom line is that the biggest talking points from any World Cup often don’t revolve around the best goal scorer or the best players involved. Throughout this article, I am going to break down and analyse the 3 biggest talking points of the 2018 FIFA World Cup to date, and discuss what impact either positive or negative these points could have on the future of the beautiful game....
