Victory for the South American nation would potentially set up a mouth-watering semifinal clash with continental rivals Brazil, pending the result of their clash with Croatia. Still, the Netherlands will not want their 19-match unbeaten run to end here, and the attacking duo of Cody Gakpo and Memphis Depay will hope to put Argentina to the sword as they did with the United States in the Round of 16....
It turned out to be a mix of boos and cheers from the few thousand fans who were allowed into the Toyota Center.

This time, the Nets guard is asking them to put up a large (and highly specific) amount of money in Bitcoin as part of a GoFundMe campaign. The “reward” is that Dinwiddie will sign a one-year contract with a team of the fans’ choosing when he becomes a free agent, which could happen as early as July 2021. That’s quite the flex by Dinwiddie in assuming any team would take him....

But until a new champion is crowned on July 15, this special crest will be nowhere to be seen in Russia. Germany’s humiliating exit from the tournament ensures a new team will earn the right to wear it on their chest, while Die Mannschaft must adjust to life with a new-look jersey. The nature of their elimination also means there will be plenty more adjustments for Germany in the next four years as they look firstly at Euro 2020 and then to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, trying to rebuild from the ruins of their worst World Cup in 80 years....
While experts aren’t exactly sure what causes these nerve cells to mutate, studies have shown that the corruption of certain genes or inherited risk factors can increase the chance of diagnosis. For example, changes to the ALK gene, or a family history of neuroblastoma, have been identified as reasons why a person may develop cancer.

An analysis of local and state health department data, included in a recent report by the American Academy of Pediatrics and Children’s Hospital Association, showed close to 100,000 new COVID-19 cases seen in children between July 16 and July 30. The jump represented a 40 percent increase in pediatric diagnoses nationwide, bringing the U.S. total to nearly 339,000 cases reported in children since the pandemic began. Alaska, Idaho, Missouri, Montana, Nevada and Oklahoma reported the most significant increases in pediatric cases during that two-week period, according to the report....

His plea is scheduled for November 16. Hartle previously said that his wife, Rosemarie Hartle, was on a state list of active voters and had a ballot be submitted in her name and signature, but she died in 2017....
Still, that money is nothing compared to what was expected to be wagered nationwide on the Broncos’ 24-10 win over the Panthers. The American Gaming Association estimated $4.2 billion would be bet on the this year’s Super Bowl, with $4.1 billion of that coming illegally — offshore or to local bookies, among other places.

The France international appeared to have overcome his recent struggles when producing an inspirational two-goal showing in a derby date with Manchester City. He was, however, frustratingly anonymous during Sunday’s 1-0 defeat to West Brom last time out to once again highlight the inconsistencies in his game which continue to attract criticism. Mourinho has suggested that he is ready to bench underperforming stars in a midweek Premier League clash with Bournemouth and an FA Cup semi-final date with Tottenham, and Neville believes he would be right to remove the likes of Pogba and Alexis Sanchez from his plans....
The 20-year-old country rapper has included RM of BTS, the world’s largest boy band, in a remix entitled, “Seoul Town Road,” a reference to the capital city of South Korea.

Since then, as state authorities have gathered data, news of a spike in alcohol-related deaths has trickled out from communities across the country. In New Mexico, alcohol-related deaths reached 88.5 out of every 100,000 people in 2020, up from 66 in 2016. Maryland reported record high deaths from drugs and alcohol as well.

The 35-year-old engineer has a new responsibility this season as crew chief for Kurt Busch.

The 1966 Red Sox had finished in ninth place in the old 10-team American League and fielded basically the same lineup the following season. What ensued was, arguably, the greatest pennant race in baseball history. Four teams still had a shot at the pennant the final week of the season and three-Boston, the Minnesota Twins and the Detroit Tigers-were still in contention on the final day. When the Red Sox beat the Twins in the final game, they had to hold off the celebration for more than three hours until the Tigers finally lost to the Angels....

Mayor Cantrell said the Category 4 hurricane’s quick race toward the city was too fast for her to order an effective mandatory evacuation order for the city’s residents. According to WDSU, Mayor Cantrell was told by Lousiana Governor John Bel Edwards (D) and the National Weather Service that a contraflow order would not work as there was not enough time to enforce it by the time Ida had made landfall....
