When delving deeper into the world of Arsenal midfielder Xhaka, in particular, the meaning behind his celebration has huge resonance for more sensitive reasons than many would believe. While Shaqiri was born in Kosovo, just like Xhaka, the similarities don’t stretch as far. Xhaka’s father Ragip was imprisoned and beaten in the former Yugoslavia for campaigning in favour of Kosovan independence. Arsenal midfielder Xhaka has only given one interview to English media about his father’s story, speaking exclusively to the Guardian last season....

I believe it’s vital to interrogate the “why” behind each success....

The migrating sharks include Unama’ki (meaning “land of the fog,” in reference to the indigenous Mi’kmaq term for Cape Breton)—a female shark weighing more than 2,000 pounds and measuring more than 15 feet. Unama’ki entered the Gulf of Mexico last week, Newsweek reported at the time, where she is joined by Helena, a 12-foot, 5-inch female, and Hudson, a 5-foot, 1-inch young male. Other sharks making their way to the Gulf include Cabot, a 9-foot, 8-inch sub-adult male last located around the Delmarva Peninsula near Virginia on Friday, and Sydney, a 12-foot, 2-inch male, who was tracked close to Daytona Beach, Florida, on November 6....

Before LeBron James took the NBA by storm, it was Kobe Bryant who garnered comparisons to Michael Jordan. But when James stole the league spotlight in the late 2000s, he dominated the conversation of who in today’s NBA could compete with His Airness. Kobe loyalists are befuddled as to why the Mamba was so quickly dropped from the conversation, reasserting Bryant’s legendary status in public forums. And what better way to do that than to dethrone LeBron the regional final of our Greatest Draft Ever bracket?...

PAOK thought they had secured a last-gasp win with an 89th-minute effort, only for the referee to alter his decision following the protestations of AEK players. The goal was ultimately disallowed, meaning PAOK were unable to usurp their rivals at the top of the table. That sparked angry scenes in the stands and numerous people entered the pitch, including PAOK owner Ivan Savvidis and his security detail. Savvidis, who appeared to usher his players off the pitch, confronted referee Giorgios Kominis and was then led away by his security....

The agents are under scrutiny after footage and images circulated last week showing them on horseback and charging at Haitian migrants.

Speaking at an energy forum in Moscow on Wednesday, Putin said he did not share “the common excitement” about Thunberg, adding, however, that he is “sure that Greta is a kind and very sincere girl.” Thunberg then took to Twitter to mock the Russian president, changing her bio to read: “A kind but poorly informed teenager.” It follows a similar tact that she deployed against U.S. President Donald Trump after he made light of comments she made to the United Nations General Assembly, angrily telling the world: “How dare you?...
