Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas slammed Israel’s genocide in the Gaza Strip and said his government was ready to implement a plan unveiled this week by US President Donald Trump for the besieged enclave, as he spoke by video to the UN General Assembly in New York on Thursday. Abbas and his Palestinian delegation had been denied visas by the Trump administration and so was forced to address the annual UN summit remotely. Abbas refrained from criticising the US, and instead said the Palestinian Authority was ready to govern Gaza and work with Trump on his new peace plan. “I speak to…

He has been at ESPN since 2019.With big spending and expectations comes angst. You make a marquee move, but fall behind your biggest rival. You’re used to winning every title, but the rest of the league catches up. You’re used to zooming through promotion pushes, but suddenly realize everyone around you is better (and richer) than you. Your newfound riches buy success, and then they don’t. Your run of great transfer signings ends, and you don’t know why. Your league…
Enzo Maresca has tried to rubbish claims that Chelsea are not the same prospect without Cole Palmer. But it’s a difficult statement to substantiate. The numbers are tough to hide from.

Pochettino challenged his squad to prove they are not “Cole Palmer FC”…

Before we start this week, anyone who has spent time following football in Germany knows that there is a hat trick and then there is a Dreierpack. We must always make a clear distinction.The former refers only to a pure hat trick, following strict guidelines: all three goals must be scored by the same player in one half of play, with no goals scored by anyone else in between. That takes some doing.A Dreierpack is the more liberal description used when a player simply nets three times in one game, as Harry Kane and Oliver Burke — English and Scottish…
