LONDON (AP) — Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has expressed his unhappiness at his team getting two fewer days to prepare for the Conference League final compared to Spanish opponent Real Betis.
While Betis plays its final La Liga match on Friday against Valencia, Chelsea closes its Premier League campaign on Sunday – three days before the Conference League final in Wroclaw, Poland – against Nottingham Forest.
It’s a huge game for Chelsea, too, with Champions League qualification on the line for both teams at the City Ground.
Bianca Andreescu, the former U.S. Open champion, is making headlines not just for her comeback performance on the court, but for the profound personal changes she’s embraced off of it. Following her first victory in the French Open qualifiers, Andreescu opened up during her post-match press conference about a powerful moment of inspiration that led her to quit alcohol — a decision she attributes to a single interview with NBA legend Kobe Bryant.
“You know when you watch something or read something, and something just clicks in you sometimes,” Andreescu explained to reporters.
Canada faced Oman in the 69th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup League Two in Florida. Though Oman was 4th and Canada 5th, both teams are closely matched in the standings.
The two teams have secured nine wins from their matches, each accumulating 20 points. In addition, Oman has a higher net run rate of +0.037, while Canada trails closely with +0.028. Oman took the first strike at the crease and set a target of 217 runs in their allocated 50 overs. However, they had a slow start, managing only 25 runs in the first ten overs, with key batters Aamir Kaleem and Jatinder Singh falling cheaply.
The truth of the matter is the NFL doesn’t like the look of the Tush Push. And multiple teams don’t love the success the Philadelphia Eagles have by running the play while they fail miserably at both stopping it on defense and duplicating its success on offense.
So the NFL will be spending the next two days, starting on Tuesday, debating and then voting on a possible ban of the Tush Push.
And if NFL bosses successfully rub out the Tush Push as seems likely, what you’ll hear next out of their mouths is that they weren’t necessarily trying to ban the Tush Push at all.

CARDIFF, Wales (AP) — Matt Sherratt will stay on as interim Wales rugby coach for the two-test series in Japan in July while the search continues for a permanent replacement for Warren Gatland.
Sherratt took charge of Wales’ final three games of the Six Nations after Gatland’s mid-tournament departure, but couldn’t prevent the beleaguered team slipping to successive defeats to take its losing run to a record-extending 17 tests since 2023.
Plenty of NFL players have used perceived draft day slides as motivation when they get into the league and Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III is jumping into that ring.
Burden was the 39th player selected in April after a run at Missouri that ended with back-to-back All-SEC selections. He was also the sixth wide receiver off the board and Burden made it clear that he thinks teams erred with how they viewed him heading into the draft.
“No, that’s staying with me forever,” Burden said, via Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com. “Everybody who passed up on me gotta pay.
Freiburg target Eintracht Frankfurt forward
Having struggled for playing time during the 2024/25 campaign, Igor Matanović could be on the move this summer in search of more regular football.
According to Sky Germany, SC Freiburg are weighing up a move for the 22-year-old Croatian forward, who has found minutes hard to come by under Eintracht Frankfurt coach Dino Toppmöller, especially since the turn of the year.
Matanović has featured just once off the bench since January and started only six matches all season, with injuries also playing a part in his limited involvement.
DIAMOND, Mo. — Kelsey Parrish recalls boarding Christy Miksell’s bus to head home from Diamond Public Schools more than 20 years ago. Those bus rides home were often accompanied by a toddler — Miksell’s daughter, Jacee.
In January 2016, that toddler was a sophomore in high school playing on Parrish’s softball team. On the fourth of that month, Jacee Miksell died in a car accident.
On Tuesday, Parrish and the Wildcats will be boarding a school bus to head to Clever for a Class 2 state sectional contest.
