"When the shutter clicked at the Estadio Jose Alvalade, I thought I had a good photo, but I never imagined it would get this reaction. "After the World Cup qualifier between Portugal and Ireland, I got a message from Extra Time through the FAI saying that Caoimhín Kelleher wanted the photo. "He posted it in an Instagram story. After that, it just absolutely blew up. Looking back now, it's easy to understand why people connected to it so much: it's sport boiled down to a picture. "You have the joy and you have the dejection in one frame. It's not just any two players. There’s Cristiano Ronaldo, in my opinion, the best player to have, Caoimhín, an amazing goalkeeper who has been saving penalty kicks from Kylian Mbappé, Bruno Fernandes, and Cristiano.

In the first half, I sat next to the goal, so the players would be facing me. In the second half, I tried to switch to the same position at the other end of the pitch, but all the seats were taken. I had to

The relentless Los Angeles Dodgers are chasing history. Led by their two-way star Shohei Ohtani, the storied franchise is on the verge of yet another World Series appearance. 8The Dodgers are one game away from returning to the World SeriesCredit: GettyThe Dodgers made it back to MLB's showpiece, where the defending champions have hopes of lifting the Commissioner's Cup once again.

Los Angeles won two championships in each of those decades, just not consecutively. And despite failing to secure back-to-back glory more than 40 years ago, their 1981 World Series-winning team was certainly one of the most eye-catching ever assembled.MORE FROM MLBDodgers dominated 1981 World Series against YankeesIt was phenom rookie pitcher Fernando Valenzuela who grabbed most of the headlines in a season that was divided into two halves due to a two-month long players' strike.  » Read More

Max Muncy stood in the middle of what is normally an underground batting cage. But on Friday, moments after the Dodgers completed a four-game sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Championship Series, it had been transformed into the most exclusive drinking spot in the city, the place where the players came to toast their return to the World Series. Cheap champagne and even cheaper beer flowed freely — mostly over people’s heads — before forming deep puddles on some plastic sheeting that had hastily been laid along the floor. “You never get tired of this. You can’t ever take this for granted,” Muncy, the Dodger third baseman said, as he clutched a lit cigar in one hand and two red Budweiser bottles in the other. “This is the whole reason that you play baseball. You want to be in this moment. “You want to play postseason baseball. And to be able to do it for as many times as I’ve done it, it’s just truly a blessing.” The moment Muncy referred to is the alcohol-infused postseason series victory celebration,  » Read More

The judge ruled NSO caused ‘irreparable harm’ to Meta, but said an earlier award of $168m in damages was ‘excessive’. A United States judge has granted an injunction barring Israeli spyware maker the NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp users, saying the firm’s software causes “direct harm” but slashed an earlier damages award of $168m to just $4m. In a ruling on Friday granting WhatsApp owner Meta an injunction to stop NSO’s spyware from being used in the messaging service, district judge Phyllis Hamilton said the Israeli firm’s “conduct causes irreparable harm”, adding that there was “no dispute that the conduct is ongoing”.

Sally* was house-sitting for a family friend when she posted a fun video on social media as she played with the dogs.  Minutes later, she was fleeing the property after a mysterious figure was spotted lurking in the background of the footage. The spine-tingling story was retold by Emma Klipstein, the US host of Too Much Podcast and a friend of Sally's, prompting a heated discussion about what the creepy figure was. 'This is one of the scariest stories I've ever been told. My very good friend told me this story in real time when it happened,' Emma explained. It all started when the Robinsons* asked Sally if she could look after their dogs for two nights while they went away for the weekend in the middle of one October. The owners were happy for Sally to bring a friend along so she wouldn't be alone - but after asking around, including her bestie Carla*, she ended up staying at the house by herself because no one was free to join her. It wasn't the first time she'd house-sat for the Robinson family - it felt like any other weekend: feeding and playing with the two dogs until they returned from holiday.
