Real Madrid legend Toni Kroos names the best midfielder in the world

Image
 Real Madrid and Germany legend Toni Kroos has picked out Barcelona star Pedri as the best midfielder in world football. Kroos retired from all forms of football last summer after an illustrious career at the top spanning nearly two decades. The German is remembered as one of the finest midfield players of his generation having won practically every accolade in the game, including the 2014 World Cup, four La Liga titles and five Champions League crowns. But Kroos’ retirement leaves a void for the next wave of midfielders to step up and make a name for themselves as the leaders of the next generation, with a changing of the guard taking place at his former club Real Madrid. There remains uncertainty over the future of Kroos’ long-time partner in crime, Luka Modric, and the likes of Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga and Arda Guler will be expected to take up the baton over the coming seasons at the Bernabeu. But according to Kroos, Madrid’s arch-rivals Barcelona boast the most comp...

'I think I'm not top-10, right?': Hilarious moment from Mirra Andreeva before Rome Open

Image
  Mirra Andreeva created a memorable moment in a pre-Rome Open interview, revealing she doesn't pay too much attention to her ranking. While answering questions from Tennis Channel, the teenager provided an amusing exchange. Having just turned 18 last week, Andreeva has already achieved enviable milestones for any player. She secured her first title last year at the Iasi Open and won a silver medal in the Olympic Games doubles alongside her partner Diana Shnaider. However, her significant leap to the top of the rankings occurred in the first part of the year, during a 13-match winning streak where she consecutively won two WTA 1000 titles at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships and the Miami Open, propelling her into the top 10 for the first time. At the recent Madrid Open, she once again demonstrated her ability to contend for major titles, achieving another deep run to the quarterfinals before falling to the eventual finalist Coco Gauff. Nevertheless, Andreeva is currently at...

Crystal Palace tell £60m England star he can leave amid Man Utd interest

Image
  Crystal Palace are reportedly content to sell two of their star players this summer amid increasing interest from Manchester United and Chelsea. The Eagles are braced to receive offers for a number of their stars who have greatly impressed in the Premier League and helped the club reach the FA Cup final for only the third time in their history. Captain Marc Guehi, Adam Wharton, Eberechi Eze and Jean-Philippe Mateta have all been linked with Premier League giants in the last few months. Palace have long been resigned to losing Guehi as his contract expires next year and the centre-back has shown no interest in penning fresh terms. In the past year, Newcastle United and Tottenham have attempted to sign the 24-year-old, the latter bidding £70million on January deadline day, but it is said his former club Chelsea are leading the race for his signature.

Elon Musk Wins Vote to Establish His Own City in Starbase, Texas

Image
  Voters in South Texas delivered Elon Musk a decisive victory, overwhelmingly approving a ballot measure to establish Starbase, Texas, as its own city. By a margin of 173 to 4, residents of the far-flung community surrounding SpaceX’s rocket-launch site and headquarters voted resoundingly in favor of the incorporation effort, according to preliminary results posted on the county election website from the early voting period. Final totals were not immediately available. At the same time, voters also approved the city’s first elected officials, all three of whom are current or former SpaceX employees and ran unopposed. Virtually all of the inhabitants within the 1.45-square mile territory are Musk’s employees at the massive manufacturing facility that dominates the beachfront town, or their family members.  Incorporation isn’t a free pass for Musk to adopt any and all regulations he wishes, but it will give the company unique authority to set the pace of its own development in...
