Debt-free holidayLPGA announces gender-eligibilty policy updateRuben Amorim has warned fans that "a storm will come" despite his positive start as head coach. Amorim is unbeaten in his three games in charge and led United to their biggest league victory since 2021 with a over on Sunday. The 39-year-old takes his team to on Wednesday and has suggested they will eventually be "found out" while the players continue to get to grips with his methods. "I would like to say different things, but I have to say it again: the storm will come," Amorim said. "I don't know if you use that expression, but we are going to have difficult moments and we will be found out in some games. I know that because I know my players and I know football and I follow football. We are in the point in that we are putting simple things in the team, without training. "So let's focus on each game, on the performance, what we have to improve, trying to win games. And that is the focus. I know it's really hard to be a Manchester United coach and say these things in press conferences. "We want to win all the time, no matter what, we are going to try to win, but we know that we are in a different point, if you compare to Arsenal." While Amorim's players are still learning about his tactical system, Amorim is also learning about United. The Portuguese coach has been in the job for three weeks since , and he has admitted the attention and the workload which comes with managing one of the biggest clubs in the world has taken him by surprise. "A little bit, because you don't know how is life in this kind of club," he said. "So it's always a surprise. I think I can manage that, but you have to do so much more than coach the team. You improve and other things in yourself as a coach, you have to manage the time in a different way. "You have less time to prepare for the games, not just because you are playing after two days, but also because you have a lot to do. I can say I was a little bit surprised, but at the same time I was expecting something different."

Zoran Milanovic, the opposition Social Democrats’ candidate, on track to win a second term in office, according to preliminary results. President Zoran Milanovic is on track to win a second term in office in the first round of Croatia’s presidential election, the State Electoral Commission says. Preliminary results from Sunday’s voting showed that based on results from nearly 52 percent of polling stations, Milanovic, the opposition Social Democratic Party’s candidate, was winning 50.1 percent of the votes, far ahead of his main challenger, Dragan Primorac, the candidate of the ruling Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), with 22.3 percent. An exit poll conducted by Ipsos on Sunday also showed Milanovic, 58, was set to win. About 3.8 million Croats were eligible to vote from among eight candidates. The post of president is mostly ceremonial. Under Croatia’s electoral system, a candidate must secure at least 50 percent of the vote to avoid a run-off. The election will go to a second round on January 12 if none of the candidates wins a majority. During his five-year term, which expires on February 18, Milanovic, a former prime minister , has clashed with Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic over foreign and public policy and has fiercely criticised the European Union and NATO over their support for Ukraine. The president cannot veto laws but has a say in foreign policy, defence and security matters. Despite his populist rhetoric, Milanovic is seen by many as the only counterbalance to the HDZ-dominated government, 30 of whose ministers have been forced to leave in recent years due to corruption allegations . This election came as Croatia grapples with high inflation and a labour shortage. Milanovic previously won the presidency for the Social Democrats in 2020 with promises to promote tolerance and liberal values. While he has condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Milanovic has been critical of Western military support for Kyiv, a stance that led Plenkovic to accuse him of being “pro-Russian” and “damaging” Croatia’s credibility. In response, Milanovic argued that his aim is to protect Croatia from being “dragged into war”. “As long as I am president, no Croatian soldier will fight in somebody else’s wars,” he said this month.Bombers GM Walters sees no need to blow up roster despite another Grey Cup loss

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — Senior Volleyball squads from North Peace Secondary School (NPSS) have returned with outstanding performances from B.C. provincials played last weekend. Following up on their 11th-place showing in 2023, the NPSS Senior Girls’ team finished sixth overall at the ‘AAAA’ competition, their strongest showing in at least 15 years. Head coach Alexandra Olsen commended her squad for playing “outstanding” and said the squad played at a high level, losing just twice throughout the tournament. She added that the Grizzlies won the BC Secondary Sports Fair Play award for the second consecutive year. “This was a huge achievement for NPSS and the program,” said Olsen. “There has been consistent growth with the program and it showed in our provincials performance.” “I have so much pride to represent these girls. They are outstanding athletes and humans and I look forward to seeing what the future holds.” Going 3-0 in pool play, NPSS needed a win over North Vancouver’s Argyle to gain a quarter-final position, winning in five sets. This set up a showdown with Kelowna’s Okanagan Mission Secondary. The Grizzlies lost in four sets. They won their next game against Kelowna Secondary before losing to Surrey’s Earl Marriott Secondary. Elsewhere, the Senior Boys Grizzlies represented the north region after playoff champions Prince George Secondary School were unable to go to Vancouver Island for the ‘AAA’ provincials. With a goal of “representing the north well” head coach Scott Hyde says mission accomplished, as the team won its final game to finish 15th overall. “Even with the lower ranking, the boys never got blown out,” said Hyde. “They held their own against every team they faced. This is great news when we think about the future of the team.” With comments from opposing coaches and officials on the teams work ethic and winning desire, the team also snagged the Fair Play Award for their tournament, something Hyde says the team was “very happy” to bring the award home. More information about the NPSS Grizzlies Volleyball teams can be found on the team’s Facebook pages.

In a memo sent to team officials, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, the NBA revealed that the FBI has connected some burglaries to “transnational South American Theft Groups” that are “reportedly well-organized, sophisticated rings that incorporate advanced techniques and technologies, including pre-surveillance, drones, and signal jamming devices.” Red Bull brings wrong rear wing to Las Vegas in mistake that could stall Verstappen's title chances LAS VEGAS (AP) — Max Verstappen is suddenly in jeopardy of being denied a fourth consecutive Formula 1 title Saturday night. Red Bull apparently brought the wrong rear wing to Las Vegas and GPS data showed its two cars to be significantly slower on the straights than both McLaren and Mercedes, which led both practice sessions.

Noodles and wine are the secret ingredients for a strange new twist in China's doping saga Blame it on the noodles. That's what one Chinese official suggested when anti-doping leaders were looking for answers for the doping scandal that cast a shadow over this year's Olympic swim meet. Earlier this year, reports that 23 Chinese swimmers had tested positive for a banned heart medication emerged. None were sanctioned because Chinese authorities determined the swimmers were contaminated by traces of the drug spread about a hotel kitchen. In a strange twist, the leader of China's anti-doping agency suggested this case could have been similar to one in which criminals were responsible for tainting noodles that were later eaten by another Chinese athlete who also tested positive for the drug.The Giants won’t have defensive end Azeez Ojulari in the lineup for a while. Ojulari injured his toe in last Sunday’s loss to the Buccaneers and Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the team put him on injured reserve Tuesday. Ojulari will have to miss the next four games and the Giants only have six games left, so there’s likely a chance he’s played his final snaps of the season. If that turns out to be the case, Ojulari may have also played his final snaps with the Giants. The 2021 second-round pick is on track for free agency come 2025. Ojulari had 28 tackles, six sacks, 10 quarterback hits, and a fumble recovery in his 11 appearances this season. Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the Giants have also claimed tight end Greg Dulcich off waivers. Dulcich was dropped by the Broncos on Monday.
