Belgium retain their place to Nations League A after second leg play-off win Wout Faes plays 90 minutes of the 3-0 victory over Ukraine in Genk Jannik Vestergaard started as Denmark lost out to Portugal after extra-time Victor Kristiansen came on as a substitute in their Nations League Quarter-Final Opponents Ukraine held a 3-1 advantage heading into Sunday's game but a stunning, late Romelu Lukaku double, following Maxim De Cuyper's opener 20 minutes from time, saw the Red Devils produce an remarkable comeback at Cegeka Arena, triumphing 4-3 on aggregate in the play-off match. The Foxes centre-back was an unused substitute in Spain on Friday but came into the starting XI and helped to keep a clean sheet for Rudi Garcia's side, who end the international break on a high. Fellow City defender Jannik Vestergaard started Denmark's 5-3 aggregate defeat to Portugal in the Nations League Quarter-Finals, losing 5-2 after extra-time in the second leg, having taken a slender lead to Lisbon. Cristiano Ronaldo missed an early penalty for the hosts, but Joachim Andersen's own goal did put Roberto Martínez's men ahead prior to half-time. Rasmus Kristensen's leveller was then followed by Ronaldo re-establishing their advantage. Victor Kristiansen was introduced in the 73rd-minute and, three minutes later, Christian Eriksen found the net for the Danes. But, in an end-to-end encounter, Trincão's late goal took it to extra-time. The Sporting winger added his second shortly after the restart and Goncalo Ramos confirmed Portugal's place in the last-four of the competition.

I felt like that 30 years ago and nothing has changed my mind. That's why I flip between being nonpartisan and apolitical when I used to be so interested. I guess it's the classic 'familiarity breeds contempt'

Story of Leicester What a shot of Welford Road this is! So much going on in this photo from the late 1960s / early 1970s - You can see the John Biggs statue poking above the bus in the middle right. This was created by sculptor, George Anderson Lawson; John Biggs (1801-1871) was a radical politician, hosiery manufacturer, philanthropist, and Mayor of the City of Leicester three times. Other interesting things we spotted in the photo - the Fyffes branded lorry and the Number 60 Bus to Braunstone. To the right you can see the building that were demolished to make way for the Welford Place Council Offices, themselves demolished back in 2015 to make way for the mixed retail and residential buildings there today! #StoryOfLeicester

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/live/c3e42y5g757t Leicester City took a huge step towards safety with a 3-2 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion at the King Power Stadium. Amandine Miquel's side were just three points above the relegation zone heading into the latest round of Women's Super League matches. However, three first-half goals helped the 10th-placed Foxes pick up their first league win since 16 February and widen the gap to bottom side Crystal Palace to six points with five matches remaining. Shannon O'Brien gave the hosts the lead inside 11 minutes, pouncing on a Brighton error and firing a low shot into the bottom corner from the edge of the box. Brighton were again at fault for Leicester's second, giving the ball away on the halfway line to unleash a counter-attacking Hannah Cain down the right. She picked out Saori Takarada, who side-footed home from close range. A Rachel McLaughlan own goal made it three on the stroke of half-time, the ball ricocheting off the Brighton defender after Shana Chossenotte connected with Cain's low cross. Leicester were cruising towards the three points until the 73rd minute, when Madison Haley squeezed a long-range effort beyond the fingertips of Janina Leitzig. Yuka Momiki had a golden opportunity to restore the Foxes' three-goal lead from the penalty spot minutes later, but saw her effort saved by Melina Loeck, before handing Brighton a lifeline when she brought down Nikita Parris in Leicester's box. Fran Kirby made no mistake with her penalty, sending Leitzig the wrong way to set up a nervy final 10 minutes for the home side. Prior to Sunday's meeting with Brighton, two statistics stood out from Leicester's campaign. The Foxes had only scored 10 goals in 16 league matches, giving them the worst attacking record in the league. At the opposite end of the park, they boasted the best defence outside the top four, conceding 24 goals. Nothing about their season to date pointed towards them taking a three-goal lead into the half-time break, nor the match becoming a five-goal thriller, with two penalties – one missed, one scored – in back-to-back phases of play and nine minutes of nail-biting added time. But in the end, this match, an important fixture in the context of the WSL relegation battle, brought the entertainment factor. Fortunately for Leicester (and probably deservedly, on balance), they came out on the right side. Momiki's missed penalty aside, manager Miquel should be pleased with her side's performance in front of goal. They punished Brighton's sloppiness in possession, they looked threatening on the counter-attack, particularly whenever Chossenotte or Cain found themselves in space, and scored three goals in a league match for only the second time this season. Having scored just three times in their first 10 outings, they've now managed 10 in seven in 2025, with six different players (plus one own goal) on the scoresheet. For 70 minutes, they were also solid defensively, putting so many bodies behind the ball that Brighton's frustrated attackers were forced to resort to long-range efforts. And while a 10-minute lapse in concentration set up a tense finale, Miquel's late changes, bringing on CJ Bott and Nelly Lasova for Cain and Sam Tierney, provided the defensive security to cling on to their lead. Had they conceded an equaliser, the result would have left them four points clear of relegation favourites Crystal Palace. However, that cushion is instead a healthy six points, and with Leicester's goal difference (-13) far superior to Palace's (-28), they can start to breathe a little easier. The Foxes, who only won one match from 10 before the winter break, have now won three in seven and are unbeaten in their past four home matches. And with out-of-form Tottenham, currently on a five-match losing streak, their next opponents, they have a huge opportunity to move another three points closer to safety next week. Touching on Leicester's home form, Miquel praised the club for hosting all of the women's matches at the King Power Stadium and challenged other teams to follow their example. "If every club played in a proper stadium like this, maybe more people would come instead of watching games at training grounds. There are some nice training grounds in England but it's not the same," she said. "The next step for the women's game is to have proper stadiums and keep growing attendances. Today's game was exciting, full of emotion, and that's why people come to watch football - to feel something." Player of the match Number: 5S.

I replaced them with a set of left-handed golf clubs thinking as I am mostly left handed I'd be better, turns out I was terrible with either hand, they're now with my 18 year old grand-daughter.

I remember giving you some old (very) golf clubs and I was thinking why am I giving these to this sex maniac. Then I saw your Mrs and thought no wonder he's always on a high.

LCFC always making it hard for themselves

9 mins of attrition

I hope the men aren’t watching

What a mess!

Big boost for Brighton last 15mins

Playing some nice football now sweeping passes, running off the ball I hope the men are watching.

Chossenotte looks a bit lightweight and her first touch and control are a bit loose

Good goal but still too many sloppy passes they’ve got to learn to love the ball.

Abbey Road Tribute · Follow In 1962, “Chains”, written by Carole King, was a chart topping R&B song in both the US and Liverpool. With the song’s irregular foot-stomping, hand-clapping rhythm, it became a favorite of the Beatles, who incorporated it into their early club set lists with George on the lead vocal. When the band recorded their first album, ‘Please Please Me’, in February 1963, “Chains" was one of six cover songs to make the cut. John played harmonica and it was the first time many fans heard George’s lead vocals on a commercially released song The band also did covers of some of Carole’s other songs as a live band, including “Keep Your Hands Off My Baby” and “Locomotion.” If you played Carole King’s hits back to back, they would play for about five hours. Along with her husband Gerry Goffen, they wrote an amazing number of hits for other bands including, “If It’s Over” (Mariah Carey), “Don’t Bring Me Down” (The Animals), “I’m Into Something Good” (Herman’s Hermits), “Up On The Roof” (Drifters), “Go Away Little Girl” (Steve Lawrence/ Donny Osmond), “He Hit Me (and It Felt Like a Kiss)” (The Crystals), “The Loco-Motion" (Little Eva/ Grand Funk Railroad/Kylie Minogue), “Take Good Care of My Baby," (Bobby Vee), “You’ve Got a Friend” (James Taylor), “You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman” (Aretha Franklin) and “The Porpoise Song (Theme From 'Head')," (The Monkees). John and Paul often said they wanted to be the British songwriting duo equivalent of Goffin and King. Carole and

Who lacks sex speaks about sex, hungry talks about food, a person who has no money - about money, and our oligarchs and bankers talk about morality. - Sigmund Freud -

An elderly couple entered a McDonald's and sat next to a table where some young people were having dinner. The old man walked over and made the order for himself. He unwrapped the burger, cut it in half and put one half next to his wife. Carefully he counted all the fries and did the same. He dipped 2 straws in the soda and put it between himself and his wife. The old woman began to eat her half of the burger, while people stared at her compassionately. A young man approached them and offered to buy them another portion of food. The old woman replied not to bother, as they were used to sharing everything. People realized that the old man had not eaten, he only watched as his wife ate. The young man approached them and repeated his offer. This time it was the old man, who explained that no, they were used to sharing everything. The young man then asked the old man, And what are you waiting for then? THE TEETH!!!
