In the single-elimination knockout stages anything can happen. And the Americans already know who they’ll be facing. The USA will be taking on the Netherlands, one of the most talented sides in the tournament and considered by many a dark horse to win the tournament as they’re on an 18-match unbeaten run. The Dutch topped Group A after defeating Senegal and Qatar and tying Ecuador. But they didn’t look like worldbeaters along the way, so the USA will feel confident they could pull off the upset provided they can contain breakout star attacker Cody Gakpo....

LSU’s Joe Burrow led the Tigers to the national championship and is widely considered a lock to go No. 1 overall to the Bengals. Tua Tagavailoa and Justin Herbert shouldn’t land far behind Burrow, and QBs like Jordan Love, Jacob Eason and Jalen Hurts could turn out to be steals in the middle rounds. QB-ONLY MOCK DRAFT: Projecting where top quarterbacks will be picked Despite the big arms available for rebuilding teams, some general managers may have eyes for a certain Clemson star who won’t be part of Thursday night’s first round of picks....

Five months after he passed away, Arias spoke openly about giving birth to their daughter and her grieving process. In a 2017 interview with PEOPLE magazine, Arias said: Just five days prior to the death, the couple made their first child’s pregnancy announcement. From 2013 to the year of his passing in 2016, Fernández played for the Miami Marlins. José Fernández was chosen by the Marlins in the first round of the 2011 MLB draft....

Ultimately, it had been the unpredictability of the Windies bowlers, who made a brilliant comeback in the fifth and final ODI by bowling out England 113 after conceding a substantial 418 runs in the previous one-dayer, that helped in setting a new record for the top-ranked side, an unwanted one though. A difference of 305 runs between two consecutive ODI totals for a team is truly insane, something that doesn’t happen every now and then....

This article will go over the types of pregnancy tests and factors that can affect results. It also covers how to decide when to take a pregnancy test and when to retest after getting a negative result. Types of Pregnancy Tests As recently as the 1970s, you had to miss your period before you took a pregnancy test, and the results could take up to two hours. Today, you can find out that you’re pregnant much earlier, faster, and with better accuracy using home pregnancy tests....

The 14-year-old is one of the gems coming through at La Masia and hopes to make it big at Camp Nou. The youngster’s technical gifts have caught the eye of the freestyler, who has also been impressed with his attitude in Spain. Simons took part in a number of challenges with Touzani - smashing them all - but also spoke about his life with Barca. Check out Touzani’s interview with one of Europe’s hottest up-and-coming young players above, or visit Touzani TV, where you can find more clips like this one....

Renouncing his prized UFC light-heavyweight title not long after his last outing against Dominick Reyes, the New-Mexican native began to stack up on a few pounds in anticipation of a call from the UFC. With Francis Ngannou knocking heavily on Stipe Miocic’s door for the past three years, a title match-up between the two only seemed fair. With Ngannou finishing Stipe Miocic with a vicious left hand in their UFC 260 rematch, a potential super fight between him and Jones may be right around the corner....

The facts: their son is the Missouri boy who was abducted at the tender age of 11 and for the last four years has apparently endured God-knows-what kind of psychological torture—and possibly physical and sexual torture as well—allegedly at the hands of a pizza-delivery guy named Michael Devlin. Now, less than a week after Hornbeck is delivered by the authorities back to the bosom of his tearful family, he appears on my television screen....

The trouble on “The View” started this week, when the girls were talking about their big date with Emmy. Rosie said that the award belonged to Barbara, for being smart enough to hire her. Cohost Joy Behar said maybe they hadn’t gotten the award yet because Emmy voters just didn’t like someone else on the show (a.k.a. Star Jones), suggesting the as-yet-unwon Emmy might not be about Rosie at all....

Lasix is used to decrease the amount of fluid in the body, particularly in the veins and arteries of the body. If the body is holding too much fluid, it can increase stress on the heart, cause fluid to build up in the lungs, and can also cause swelling, typically in the legs and feet. Triggering the body to increase urine output can help treat these conditions. Why It’s Used After Surgery Lasix is used after surgery for a variety of reasons....

Speculation that WhatsApp’s secure messaging capabilities were under threat surged after users received a prompt saying they would no longer be able to use the chat app unless they agreed to new privacy rules, set to take effect on February 8.

While MLB Opening Day is April 1, there’s no joke when it comes to “MLB: The Show 21” likely being bigger and better than ever this year, with a huge shake-up for Xbox fans, too. For the first time in franchise history, the (former) Sony-exclusive is heading to Microsoft platforms, with the Xbox One and Series X|S both getting their own version of the game on release day later in April....

Lincoln Riley left Oklahoma for USC while Brian Kelly left Notre Dame for LSU — two coaching moves with seismic impacts that could change the landscape of the sport. On top of that, meetings were held about the future of the College Football Playoff, with the main topic including expansion. As the other talks have gone in the last several months, nothing concrete was agreed to. The biggest debates of this playoff were if No....

Georgia and Michigan, unsurprisingly, stayed in the Nos. 1 and 2 spots. At No. 3, TCU managed to hold its spot despite a loss in the Big 12 Championship to Kansas State. And at No. 4, Ohio State was able to make its way back into the playoff picture despite its blowout loss to Michigan on Thanksgiving weekend. Alabama and Tennessee were the first two teams out at Nos. 5 and 6, putting them in the New Year’s 6 picture....

The celestial event is expected to be visible in the night sky on December 7, from 11:09 p.m. ET, although it will continue to appear full and bright until December 8. The cold moon is so-named as it rises around the time of the winter solstice—when the Earth’s Northern Hemisphere is at its maximum tilt away from the sun, resulting in the shortest day and longest night. The moon will be visible alongside Saturn, Jupiter and Mars....
