  • Wales Win Six Nations As Scotland Upset ‘Disappointed’ France
    14 Established 1961 Sports Sunday, March 28, 2021 Photo of the day Rashford, Saka out of England qualifiers LONDON: Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka have both been ruled out of England’s World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Poland, the Football Association announced Friday. England launched their bid to play in the finals of Qatar 2022 with a comprehensive 5-0 thrashing of minnows San Marino at Wembley on Thursday. Rashford and Saka both missed that match and the FA have now confirmed the pair will miss England’s other two qualifying matches this month. England travel to Tirana today and face Poland at Wembley on Wednesday - their last fixture before manager Gareth Southgate names his squad for this year’s Covid-delayed European Championships. “Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka will play no part in England’s forthcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers,” the FA said in a statement. “Rashford reported to St George’s Park with an injury that ruled him out of the 5-0 win against San Marino and, following further assessment, it has been decided he will continue his rehabilitation with Manchester United. “Saka had remained at Arsenal for further assess- ment on an ongoing issue with the hope of joining up with the Three Lions but will now not be available for the fixtures against Albania and Poland.” Arsenal teenager Saka made his England debut against Wales in October and has since won a further three caps. Rashford only appeared in two of England’s eight fixtures in 2020 and has now been ruled out with a foot injury that made him miss Manchester United’s FA Cup quarter-final defeat at Leicester.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Rocky balboa) Robert "Rocky" Balboa, Sr. (b. July 6, 1945) is a fictional Rocky Balboa athlete, portrayed by Sylvester Stallone who has appeared in the Rocky series from 1976 to 2006. He is famous for being extremely tenacious and 'fighting with his heart', as his trainer Mickey Goldmill famously intones. His style, endurance, determination, and pleasant personality greatly resemble the real life heavyweight champion, Rocky Marciano, even though the creation of the character was directly inspired by Chuck Wepner. He embodies the rugged tenacity often associated with the people of his native Philadelphia.

  • Nathan Chen and Rika Kihira Lead the Men and Ladies Short Program in Vancouver
    December 6, 2018 Vancouver, Canada Nathan Chen and Rika Kihira lead the Men and Ladies Short Program in Vancouver Nathan Chen (USA) skates to lead in Men’s Short Program Reigning World Champion Nathan Chen (USA) took the Men’s Short Program as the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final continued Thursday in Vancouver (CAN). Japan’s Shoma Uno stands in second place and Michal Brezina of the Czech Republic ranks third. Chen opened his routine to “Caravan” with a solid triple Axel and a quad flip, but then stumbled on the quad toeloop and had no combination jump. The reigning World Champion collected a level four for his spins and step sequence and managed a season’s best with 92.99 points. “Clearly I made the big mistake at the end of the program (on the quad toe) - something that I could totally have avoided, it's just a little bit of a slip. But I'm glad I'm getting experience, I'm doing the program throughout the season and making mistakes like this so I can keep learning,” the U.S. Champion said. Uno underrotated and stepped out of his quad flip but landed a quad toe-double toe and a triple Axel. The Olympic silver medalist scored 91.67 points and was disappointed with himself. “I couldn't do anything what I trained for in Japan. Today at the practice, both in the morning and the six minutes warm up, I couldn't jump properly. I am not ill or injured. I have absolutely no excuse as to why I couldn't jump.
