Bournemouth stuns Liverpool 1-0 to avenge 9-0 loss in EPL

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:10:46 GMT

BOURNEMOUTH, England (AP) — After losing 9-0 at Liverpool earlier this season, Bournemouth got some payback in the Premier League on Saturday.Bournemouth halted Liverpool’s recent momentum with a 1-0 home win to boost its hopes of staving off relegation and deal a blow to the visitors’ hopes of earning a top-four spot.Philip Billing scored the only goal in the 28th minute after being teed up in the box by Dango Ouattara and Bournemouth managed to contain a Liverpool attack that had looked rampant in a stunning 7-0 win over Manchester United last weekend.Mohamed Salah missed a penalty for Liverpool in the 70th, sending his effort wide of the goal, while Virgil van Dijk had an early header cleared off the line. But it was a surprisingly tame performance from a Liverpool team that had looked like it was finally getting back to its best after four wins and a draw in its last five games.That run that had seen Jurgen Klopp’s team move up to fifth place in the standings a...

Lars Nootbaar brings ‘grind-it-out spirit’ to Japan and WBC

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:10:46 GMT

TOKYO (AP) — Most Japanese couldn’t recognize Lars Nootbaar a few weeks ago, before the World Baseball Classic opened. Few could even pronounce his name or spell it in English or Japanese.He’s becoming a household word in Japan, and fans are singing the praises of the St. Louis Cardinals outfielder at the Tokyo Dome, where he went 5 for 11 with two RBIs during Japan’s 3-0 start.The impromptu song lyrics have anointed Nootbaar as a Samurai and refer to him by his middle name — Tatsuji — which is his grandfather’s name. He’s playing with Japan because of his mother’s roots, the first non-Japan-born player chosen for the national team by ancestry.Hundreds now arrive at the Dome wielding pepper grinders, which has become his trademark with the Cardinals. Fans hold up signs calling Nootbaar an “American-born Samurai,” and his teammates address him by his Japanese nickname “Tachan.” Cardinals teammate Tommy Edman is playing in Tokyo with South Korea, also because o...

Miami-based 777 Partners takes 64.7% stake in Hertha Berlin

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:10:46 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — Miami-based investment group 777 Partners has completed its 64.7% majority stake takeover of Hertha Berlin.The German soccer club said Saturday that 777 had acquired the company shares previously owned by Lars Windhorst’s investment group. Windhorst said in October he wanted out after a breakdown in his relationship with the club.Windhorst had invested 374 million euros ($400 million) since 2019 on his dream of turning Hertha into a “big city club” but only ever saw the team fight relegation amid constant upheaval. Windhorst allegedly hired an Israeli detective agency to try and force Hertha’s previous president out, then also fell out with his successor.The sale of Windhorst’s shares was approved by the Hertha’s supervisory board and by the registered company behind the club. Financial details of sale were not disclosed.“This strategic partnership helps us to further advance the restructuring process and the economic consolidation of Hertha BSC,” Hertha president Kay ...

(CNN) — Más de 52 años después de que Pamela Lynn Conyers, de 16 años, fuera estrangulada hasta la muerte en el centro de Maryland, las autoridades dicen que han identificado a un sospechoso en su asesinato con la ayuda de la genealogía genética.El sospechoso, a quien la policía identificó como Forrest Clyde Williams III, habría tenido 21 años en el momento de los asesinatos. Murió en Virginia, de donde era originario, en 2018 por “causas naturales”, dijo el teniente de la policía del condado de Anne Arundel, Jackie Davis, en una conferencia de prensa este viernes.Si Williams estuviera vivo hoy, habría sido acusado del asesinato, dijo la policía. Davis dijo que las autoridades pudieron encontrar una foto policial del sospechoso porque había sido arrestado varias veces a principios de la década de 1970, después del asesinato de Pamela, por delitos menores, como actuar “borracho y desordenado”.Pamela, una estudiante de secundaria, desapareció el 16 de octubre de 1970, después de...
