Mohamed Salah has finally delivered a significant performance this season, but unfortunately for Liverpool and their under-pressure coach Arne Slot, the 33-year-old chose to make the headlines with his words off the pitch rather than his actions on it.No great player will ever want to accept it, but when they start to make more news with what they say than what they have done, it is a clear indication of their sporting prowess being on the wane and that they can’t handle no longer being the main man.Salah’s postmatch interview with reporters after being an unused substitute in Liverpool’s 3-3…

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — It literally wasn’t easy to reach this point.In what will be a 5,564 mile round-trip, the Vancouver Whitecaps crossed three time zones, an international border, and essentially the continent of North America itself to face global superstar Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami teammates at Saturday’s MLS Cup match.Considering the additional travel they’ve done this year in separate competitions like the Canadian Championship, and the international Concacaf Champions Cup, there may be no team in CONCACAF — or perhaps world soccer — that has covered the same amount of miles as the Whitecaps.At the end of…

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — The commander of sea-drone operations for Ukraine’s military intelligence agency says more complex strikes against Russian forces are expected next year, after Kyiv’s uncrewed fleet succeeded in curbing the movements of Russia’s once-dominant Black Sea navy.In an interview with The Associated Press, the head of the specialized maritime drone unit, Group 13, said Ukraine’s attacks have forced Russia to adapt, limiting opportunities for major Black Sea strikes seen earlier in the war. “Today, we’ve likely reached a plateau,” said the officer, who is identified only by the call sign “13th” under Ukrainian military protocol. “We are…

Ruben Amorim likes to say that “we have a lot of problems in our club” when asked about the challenge he faces at Manchester United. Sometimes it’s as if he thinks — with news conferences usually lasting around 30 minutes at most — that the issues are too many to list.The Portuguese coach rarely goes into specifics about why he’s found the job so difficult, but occasionally he’s hinted at something which is particularly troublesome. Ultimately, it’s a problem which frames everything else at Old Trafford.Amorim is leading a long-term project — but at a club which demands short-term success.…

Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa accused Israel on Saturday of “exporting crises” to other countries as a way to divert attention from the “horrifying massacres” it is committing in the besieged Gaza Strip. Addressing the Doha Forum in the Qatari capital, Sharaa claimed that Israel was attempting to justify its actions against several Middle Eastern countries under the false pretext of “security concerns”. “Israel… tries to run away from the horrifying massacres committed in Gaza, and it does so by attempting to export crises,” Sharaa said in conversation with CNN’s chief international anchor Christiane Amanpour. “Israel has become a country that is in…

ATLANTA (AP) — A historical marker from the site of a 1918 lynching that was repeatedly vandalized in recent years is now safely on display in Atlanta in an exhibit that opens Monday.It memorializes an event that some people in rural southern Georgia have tried hard to erase: the killing of Mary Turner by a white mob that was bent on silencing her after she demanded justice for the lynching of her husband, Hayes Turner, and at least 10 other Black people.Pocked with bullet holes and cracked at its pedestal by an off-road vehicle, the Georgia Historical Society marker reads…
