A striker and a left-sided centre-back remain on Hearts’ wishlist for the forthcoming January transfer window. However, injury to Stephen Kingsley adds greater importance to the latter of the two, according to head coach Neil Critchley. Kingsley requires surgery on a hamstring tear and will be sidelined for several months. Hearts want a forward with pace and mobility to add to their squad next month. They had also earmarked a left-footed central defender given clubs are showing interest in the Australian internationalist Kye Rowles. Losing Kingsley merely increases the need to strengthen in that department. “Potentially, yes,” explained Critchley. “It was still an area of the pitch that we were looking at anyway. With Stephen being out, that is something that we'll have to consider.” Advertisement Advertisement A striker has been a priority for some time, even before Critchley arrived in Gorgie in mid-October. “It goes without saying, you always want strikers to be able to score goals,” he said. “I also think they've got to complement the players that are already here. “I sometimes feel slightly uncomfortable talking about January when we're at the start of December because lots can change, i.e. a Stephen Kingsley situation or injuries. It's hard for me to talk in great confidence in saying this and this because things can change. Is that an area of the pitch we'd like to strengthen? Yes, of course it is.” Lawrence Shankland’s goal drought hasn’t helped as the club captain runs down his Hearts contract. That is not a major issue influencing the striker search, though. “No, I just think we need competition,” said Critchley. “If you ever bring in a player to the club, particularly on a permanent deal, then you've always got the short term but the long term - what it's going to look like in the future. READ MORE: Hearts injury update on Baningime, Kent and Kingsley Advertisement Advertisement “That then fits into your strategy of a football club and the identity you want your team to have in the future. Do those players fit your way of playing, how you want to play the game? Anyone we want to bring in has got to fit into what we're hoping is going to be the heart, weight, our identity for the long term.” Hearts’ busy schedule this season places extra strain on players and leads to injuries, such as Kingsley’s. He was stretchered off against Aberdeen last weekend before fellow defender Frankie Kent was also substituted with a quad muscle injury. Beni Baningime did not train on Friday due to a knee issue and Critchley admitted the demands of domestic and European football combined have had an impact. “Yes, it has. Touch wood. Until that [recent] period, we haven't had injuries in my time here at the club. I'd like to think that through my previous experiences and how to manage your week, how to manage your training load, you try to minimise them as much as you can. Sometimes, unfortunately, injuries are part and parcel of football. “I'd like to think how we periodise our week and month, days off, recovery, training, appropriate training, how hard we train them, slight rotations of players and freshness, you try to minimise that as much as possible. Sometimes you're trying to avoid the muscle injuries as much as you can but it's been well-documented and well-publicised in the last 12 months about the amount of games and the amount of injuries. They're on the increase significantly. Games come non-stop - midweek, weekend. Advertisement Advertisement “I wouldn't say I've changed anything because to play the way we want to play, you have to train a certain way. It's just using your staff around you, good communication, preparing, talking about every player, putting a lot of time and effort into what's right for every single player, every game, every day. That's the conversations we have and you try to put all that information that we get, all the data, and put that all into helping you make the best informed decision on how to take the appropriate care for every single individual.” Adding pace to Hearts’ forward line can be done before January with the return of Japanese winger Yutaro Oda. Critchley has liked what he has seen of Oda in training but injuries and illness have prevented him deploying the winger in matches to date. He is available to face Dundee on Saturday. “Yutaro would have been involved last week. He was actually due to be on the bench against [Cercle] Brugge but he was sick prior to the game,” said the head coach. “He was actually there, he was on the teamsheet. We had to change the team sheet prior to the game. “Yutaro is fit, he missed the Aberdeen game still through illness but he's trained this week. so he'll be in contention. Calem [Nieuwenhof] has been progressing, doing more training, more team training. He's been on a little bit of steady progression of non-contact, partial training and then he'll join in full team training. He's getting towards that point but then he'll probably still need a few weeks to be ready or to be considered for a matchday squad. READ MORE: Hearts expected XI v Dundee Advertisement Advertisement “When Calem does return, then he's like every single other player: As soon as you cross the white line you're there to do your best and play to your ability. You get judged like everyone else. Internally that might be different, we can understand where he's at and what he needs and Calem will need a bit of time but I'm confident with the work that he's been doing and how he's been working. He's so conscientious about how he works that when he returns he'll be good to go.” Hearts sit bottom of the Premiership and consequently need points against Dundee. They recorded five defeats and a draw in their last seven games in all competitions. Critchley is content with performance levels and insisted there is no issue with morale at Riccarton. He is convinced his team can move clear of the relegation zone over the coming weeks. “Our form has been good, we've played well in the games,” he said. “We've actually drawn confidence and been buoyed by how we've played. We’ve just missed the last little bit, that is it. We should have beaten Aberdeen last weekend, we were the better team. We should have won the game. That's against a team who's flying high and won game after game in this league. “If you look at our performances against Aberdeen, we've more than matched them home anyway. Celtic, Rangers, the European games - there's been no dip in morale at all. In fact, I think it's been the opposite. I think we've drawn confidence and belief in what we've been doing. What we've got to do now is turn that into results because that's the business, that's what we're in. Advertisement Advertisement “If you look at a lot of the games we've played recently, it's been isolated moments. It's not like we've been camped in our own half and there's been shot after shot, it's three or four goals and you're thinking: ‘We've got a real problem.’ We've got to make sure in those isolated moments where we're harder to score against, we're better concentrated, more competitive and we make slightly better decisions in our own penalty area. “That prevents those moments from happening. That's the work that hopefully we can try to do as much as we can on the training pitch with the limited time that we get. It's quite a simple format and I keep coming back to it. We just need to do better at both ends of the pitch.” Despite a potentially-pivotal UEFA Conference League tie away to FC Copenhagen lying just days away, Critchley wants Hearts simply to focus on Dundee. “Without a doubt. We prepare the same for every single game, regardless of who we're playing against: Celtic, Rangers, Dundee, Copenhagen next week, Cercle Brugge the other week - we prepare exactly the same way. “We give full focus to the opposition and then we try and concentrate on how we're going to play in that game to give us the best chance of winning the game. So, all our conversation this week and all our focus is on Dundee, Tynecastle, Saturday, 3pm, and how do we win that game?”Simple Hacks to Make the Holidays Merrier (and Cheaper)
LA Galaxy strike early, hold off New York Red Bulls 2-1 to win their record 6th MLS Cup championship CARSON, Calif. (AP) — Joseph Paintsil and Dejan Joveljic scored in the first half, and the LA Galaxy won their record sixth MLS Cup championship with a 2-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls on Saturday.

(AP Photo/Etienne Laurent) CARSON, Calif. (AP) — Joseph Paintsil and Dejan Joveljic scored in the first half, and the LA Galaxy won their record sixth MLS Cup championship with a 2-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls on Saturday. After striking twice in the first 13 minutes of the final with goals from their star forwards, the Galaxy nursed their lead through a scoreless second half to raise their league’s biggest trophy for the first time since 2014. MLS’ most successful franchise struggled through most of the ensuing decade, even finishing 26th in the 29-team league last year. But the Galaxy turned everything around this season with a high-scoring new lineup that finished second in the Western Conference and then streaked through the playoffs with a whopping 18 goals in five games to win another crown. Sean Nealis scored for the seventh-seeded Red Bulls, whose improbable charge through the playoffs ended one win shy of its first Cup championship. With the league's youngest roster, New York fell just short of becoming the lowest-seeded team to win MLS' playoff tournament under first-year German coach Sandro Schwarz. Galaxy goalkeeper John McCarthy made four saves to win his second MLS title in three seasons. He was the MVP of the 2022 MLS Cup Final for the Galaxy's crosstown rival, Los Angeles FC. The Galaxy won this title without perhaps their most important player. Riqui Puig, the playmaking midfielder from Barcelona who ran their offense impressively all season long, tore a ligament in his knee last week in the Western Conference final. Puig watched the game in a suit, but his teammates hadn't forgotten him: After his replacement, Gastón Brugman, set up LA's opening goal with a superb pass, Paintsil held up Puig's jersey to their fans during the celebration. Paintsil put the Galaxy ahead in the ninth minute when he ran onto that sublime pass from Brugman and pounded home his 14th MLS goal — including four in the playoffs — in the Ghanaian forward's outstanding first season. Just four minutes later, Joveljic sprinted past four New York defenders and chipped home the 21st goal of his outstanding year as the Galaxy's striker. Nealis got New York on the scoreboard in the 28th minute when he volleyed home a ball that got loose in LA's penalty area after a corner. The Galaxy's usually shaky defense gave up another handful of good chances before reaching halftime with a tenuous lead. The second half was lively, but scoreless. Red Bulls captain Emil Forsberg hit the outside of the post in the 72nd minute, while Gabriel Pec and Galaxy substitute Marco Reus nearly converted chances a few moments later. The ball got loose again in the Galaxy's penalty area in the third minute of extra time, but two Red Bulls couldn't finish. The Galaxy bench rushed onto the field and prematurely celebrated a victory in the seventh minute of injury time, only to be herded back off for another 30 seconds of play. The Galaxy finished 17-0-3 this season at their frequently renamed suburban stadium, where the sellout crowd of 26,812 for the final included several robust cheering sections of traveling Red Bulls supporters hoping to see their New Jersey-based club’s breakthrough on MLS’ biggest stage. The Galaxy’s Greg Vanney became the fourth coach to win an MLS title with two clubs. The former Galaxy player also won it all with Toronto in 2017. The club famous for employing global stars from David Beckham and Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Robbie Keane and Javier “Chicharito” Hernández rebuilt itself this season with lesser-known young talents from around the world. The Galaxy signed Pec from Brazil and the Ghanaian Paintsil out of Belgium, and the duo combined with incumbent Serbian striker Joveljic to form a potent attack that could outscore almost any MLS opponent. But the Galaxy also relied heavily on Puig, their Catalan catalyst and one of MLS’ best players. Puig stayed in last week's game after injuring his knee, and he even delivered the decisive pass to Joveljic for the game’s only goal. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/soccer Greg Beacham, The Associated Press See a typo/mistake?

The Toronto Blue Jays have tried to land a game-changing slugger twice in the past two winters. Unfortunately for the club, it wasn't able to sign Shohei Ohtani or Juan Soto. Now the Jays must decide whether it's worth committing to first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on a lucrative long-term deal. Guerrero has been very specific with Toronto regarding how much money he wants and a deadline to get a deal done. Things will only get more complicated if the two-time Silver Slugger winner begins 2025 without an extension. The Blue Jays could send him packing before the trade deadline if they're not viewed as a legitimate postseason contender. But if that doesn't happen, they risk losing a homegrown superstar via free agency. Which of Toronto's American League East rivals could be the best fit for Guerrero? The least likely landing spot is the Tampa Bay Rays. They did kick the tires on Soto before he signed with the New York Mets, but committing hundreds of millions to one player isn't part of their recipe for success. The Baltimore Orioles are more of an option with new ownership in place. But if they can't pony up to retain ace Corbin Burnes, would they really be a serious suitor? Baltimore will also have to eventually pay its elite homegrown talent. An intriguing option is the New York Yankees. By signing Paul Goldschmidt to a one-year, $12.5 million deal , some believe general manager Brian Cashman is preparing to make a run at Guerrero next winter. Will the right-handed slugger be open to donning pinstripes? Vlad Jr. famously said two years ago he'd never play for the Yankees but softened his stance ahead of the 2024 trade deadline. If he has full control over his next destination, could the Bombers be a legitimate suitor? That remains to be seen. With all this in mind, one AL East rival that makes the most sense for Guerrero is the Boston Red Sox. Boston was in the running for Soto, reportedly offering him a deal of around $700 million. But since coming up short, the Red Sox haven't committed long-term to any offseason upgrades. Could they be saving pennies to pursue Guerrero next year? Pairing him in the middle of the order with third baseman Rafael Devers would be a lethal one-two punch . Guerrero, who will be 26 years old in March, reportedly has a "realistic" target of $500-600 million for his next contract. Spotrac estimates he'll earn $28.8 million next season before hitting the open market. More MLB: NL Rival 'Could Be Desperate Enough' to Steal $152 Million Slugger From MetsBOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) — Tommy Mellott threw for 300 yards and four touchdowns and top-seeded Montana State tied a school record with its 13th straight win, dominating Tennessee-Martin 49-17 on Saturday in the second round of the FCS playoffs. Scottre Humphrey ran for 102 yards and a touchdown, one of three rushing touchdowns for the Bobcats (13-0), who are home next weekend against the winner of Saturday's late game between Lehigh and eighth-seeded Idaho. MSU, which has scored at least 30 points in every game this season, won 13 games in 1975-76. Mellott threw for 178 yards and three touchdowns in the first half and the Bobcats rolled to a 28-10 lead. Mellott had touchdown passes of 24 yards to Hunter Provience and 12 yards to Taco Dowler in the first quarter and 39 yards to Ty McCullouch in the second. McCullouch also had a 6-yard touchdown run. The pass to McCullouch ended a six-play, 73-yard drive that took just 53 seconds, and came immediately after Trevonte Rucker took a pass from Kinkead Dent 78 yards to the end zone that made it 21-10. The Bobcats only allowed only 10 total points in the first half of home games in the regular season. Humphrey had a 36-yard TD run and Mellott hit Dowler for a 29-yard score in the third quarter Adam Jones contributed a 30-yard scoring run in the fourth. Mellott finished 22-of-25 passing and the Bobcats had 501 total yards. Dent threw for 167 yards and two touchdowns, both to Rucker, who had six receptions for 107 yards. The Skyhawks (9-6) finished with 264 yards. AP college football: https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-football-poll and https://apnews.com/hub/college-football .

Nichols’ campaign was based on rehabilitating Tulsa’s education system and addressing affordable housing issues in order to combat homelessness. Black Tulsa residents have long suffered from a dearth of economic opportunity, Nichols said. he commission has not seen much progress regarding reparations. It was tasked with reviewing two reports, one from 2023 and one from 2001, that both called for reparations for descendants and survivors of the massacre. Bynum has said people in Tulsa “view reparations as not just cash payments,” and that there is also interest in economic, educational and housing opportunities ― issues that Nichols named as his priorities during his campaign. In August, Nichols said education was something the city should be laser-focused on. “We’ve got to take this talk of reparations out of the political sense and focus on other areas,” he . “Education is an area where we should really sink our teeth into quite a bit.” It’s not clear whether any potential reparations would actually take the form of cash payments. Joyce Williams, a longtime Tulsa resident who voted for Nichols, said she expects him to be “open to the community” and make a real effort to provide “some means of compensation” to descendants and survivors. “I expect that he will attempt to impact our ability to get in the position to have a hearing on the loss of a strong financial system brought on by [the massacre], and I expect we are going to have to push him just like anyone else,” Williams told HuffPost. “I’m not naive to think that this man is not going to be able to do a whole lot without some push and support.” In June, the Oklahoma Supreme Court a request to reconsider a dismissed lawsuit filed by Fletcher and Randle. The aim of was to force the city of Tulsa to pay reparations to Fletcher and Randle for their sufferings after the massacre. After the rejection, Solomon-Simmons, who represents the two survivors, requested a federal review from the Department of Justice, and met with Kristen Clarke, assistant attorney general for civil rights, in Washington, D.C. The announcement of the review came months later. Solomon-Simmons told HuffPost that addressing the city’s racial issues and history was one of the main driving factors for voters this year. Now, the community waits for results. Related...

Trump is welcomed by Macron to Paris with presidential pomp and joined by Zelenskyy for their talks PARIS (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron has welcomed Donald Trump to Paris with a full a dose of presidential pomp. And they held an impromptu meeting with Ukraine’s Volodymr Zelenskyy on a day that's mixing pageantry with attention to pressing global problems. The president-elect's visit to France is part of a global a celebration of the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral five years after a devastating fire. Macron and other European leaders are trying to win Trump’s favor and persuade him to maintain support for Ukraine in its defense against Russia’s invasion. Syrian insurgents reach the capital's suburbs. Worried residents flee and stock up on supplies BEIRUT (AP) — Insurgents’ stunning march across Syria is gaining speed with news that they have reached the suburbs of the capital of Damascus. The government on Saturday was forced to deny rumors that President Bashar Assad had fled the country. The rebels’ moves around Damascus were reported by an opposition war monitor and a rebel commander. They came after the Syrian army withdrew from much of southern part of the country, leaving more areas, including two provincial capitals, under the control of opposition fighters. The advances in the past week were among the largest in recent years by opposition factions. The factions are by a group that has its origins in al-Qaida and is considered a terrorist organization by the U.S. and the United Nations. Trump isn't back in office but he's already pushing his agenda and negotiating with world leaders NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump is making threats, traveling abroad, and negotiating with world leaders. He has more than a month-and-a-half to go before he’s sworn in for a second term. But the president-elect is already moving aggressively to not only fill his Cabinet and outline policy goals, but also to try to achieve his priorities. In recent days, Trump has threatened to impose a 25% tariff on goods from Canada and Mexico, two of the country’s largest trading partners. That led to emergency calls and a visit. And he's warned of “ALL HELL TO PAY” if Hamas doesn't release the hostages still being held captive in Gaza. South Korea's president avoids an impeachment attempt over short-lived martial law SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s embattled President Yoon Suk Yeol has avoided an opposition-led attempt to impeach him over his short-lived imposition of martial law. Most of Yoon's ruling party lawmakers boycotted a parliamentary vote Saturday to deny a two-thirds majority needed to suspend his presidential powers. The scrapping of the motion is expected to intensify protests calling for Yoon’s ouster and deepen political chaos in South Korea. A survey suggests a majority of South Koreans support the president’s impeachment. Yoon’s martial law declaration drew criticism from his own ruling conservative People Power Party. But the party also apparently fears losing the presidency to liberals. UnitedHealthcare CEO's shooting opens a door for many to vent frustrations over insurance The fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare's CEO has opened the door for many people to vent their frustrations and anger over the insurance industry. The feelings of exasperation, anger, resentment, and helplessness toward insurers aren’t new. But the shooting and the headlines around it have unleashed a new wave of patients sharing such sentiments and personal stories of interactions with insurance companies. Conversations at dinner tables, office water coolers, social gatherings and on social media have pivoted to the topic. Many say they hope the new amplified voices can bring about change for companies often accused of valuing profits over people. Days after gunman killed UnitedHealthcare's CEO, police push to ID him and FBI offers reward NEW YORK (AP) — Nearly four days after the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, police still do not know the gunman’s name or whereabouts or have a motive for the killing. But they have made some progress in their investigation into Wednesday's killing of the leader of the largest U.S. health insurer, including that the gunman likely left New York City on a bus soon after fleeing the scene. The also found that the gunman left something behind: a backpack that was discovered in Central Park. Police are working with the FBI, which on Friday night announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. The DNC chair candidates discuss Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and winning Latino voters SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Four Democrats are running for Democratic National Committee chair, looking to take on the task of reinvigorating a party demoralized by a second loss to President-elect Donald Trump. Others may still get into the race as Democrats reckon with what went wrong in the 2024 election, which saw Trump gain with nearly every demographic group in a decisive repudiation of the incumbent party. The 448 DNC members will elect a successor for outgoing Chair Jaime Harrison on Feb. 1. The party’s Rules and Bylaws Committee is scheduled to meet next week to approve rules for the contest. 100-year-old Pearl Harbor survivor recalls confusion and chaos during Japanese bombing 83 years ago PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (AP) — The bombing of Pearl Harbor 83 years ago launched the United States into World War II. Two survivors are planning to return to the Hawaii military base on Saturday for a remembrance ceremony on the attack's anniversary. They are each over 100 years old. They will join active-duty troops, veterans and members of the public for a remembrance ceremony hosted by the Navy and the National Park Service. A third survivor was planning to join them but had to cancel due to health issues. The bombing killed more than 2,300 U.S. servicemen. An explosion destroys an apartment block in a Dutch city, killing at least 3 and injuring others THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — An explosion and fire has rocked a neighborhood in the Dutch city of The Hague, killing three people and injuring other people and destroying several apartments. The cause of the disaster is unclear. Emergency authorities said four people were rescued from the rubble and taken to the hospital. The mayor said rescuers were no longer looking for survivors but for eventual bodies, but could not specify how many people might still be unaccounted for. Residents of the northeastern neighborhood of Mariahoeve in The Hague heard a huge bang and screams before dawn. Dutch authorities have deployed a specialized urban search and rescue team to find victims. Do weighted blankets help you sleep better? Here's what to know NEW YORK (AP) — Weighted blankets are a popular choice to warm up in cold weather, but research on their effectiveness is limited. Such blankets come with extra heft in the form of glass beads, pellets or cotton. They're also more expensive than regular blankets. Scientists think the added pressure could calm the brain’s fight-or-flight response or signal the brain to produce what’s called the love hormone. There isn’t a ton of research on whether weighted blankets actually work, and the studies that do exist are on small groups. Experts say there’s no harm in giving them a try if you're willing to splurge.

6 Money Moves You Should Make Before the End of the Year
Ruben Amorim tells Man United players they have to 'run like mad dogs' to be winners again as Red Devils look to bounce back from Arsenal defeat against Nottingham Forest United lost for the first time under Amorim as they went down to Arsenal He has encouraged his side to fight during games to become a great team again LISTEN NOW to It's All Kicking Off! : Why can't Chelsea win the league? They made seven changes and still scored five. Do you think Liverpool could do that? By CHRIS WHEELER Published: 22:31 GMT, 6 December 2024 | Updated: 22:31 GMT, 6 December 2024 e-mail View comments Ruben Amorim has ordered his Manchester United stars to run like ‘mad dogs’ if they want to be Premier League title contenders again. Amorim admitted before Saturday’s clash with Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford that United are ‘a massive club but not a massive team’ as he tries to manage the levels of expectation around his new job as head coach. The 39-year-old is adamant that his players will have to run harder and with more intensity if he is to have a chance of taking United back to the pinnacle of English football. ‘If we want to win the Premier League, we have to run like mad dogs. If not, we aren’t going to,’ he admitted. ‘Even with the best starting XI on the planet, without running they will not win nothing, that is very clear. It’s impossible to win the Premier League without a team like that. ‘I think the way we sprint back, the way we sprint forward, the way we fight, we have to be very clear with the team, this is the first point we have to address. Ruben Amorim has told his players they need to run like 'mad dogs' to be successful again United lost for the first time under Amorim against Arsenal in the week and face Nottingham Forest this weekend The Portuguese said that United are 'a massive club but we’re not a massive team' as they look to continue trying to improve ‘They’re making an effort and there’s a lot of room to improve. Changing that you can say is simple because it’s just running, but it’s something in the head of the players. Read More Man United announce plans to pay tribute to much-loved receptionist Kath Phipps this weekend ‘The problem to be fit enough is if they can cope with that. If they are used to it in training, they will do that in games. They’re professional athletes and they will improve in that aspect and then you have something.’ United have dropped to 13th place in the table after Amorim’s first defeat at Arsenal in midweek, and the Portuguese must try to balance the reality of his situation with the expectations of managing one of the world’s biggest clubs. He added: ‘We’re a massive club but we’re not a massive team, and we know it so it is no problem to say it. We want to improve but we are in a different moment to Arsenal. But you could feel it during the game, I think we have to believe more. ‘This club has glories in the past. Our players have to understand that it’s a very difficult position. We’re not one of the best teams in the league, and we have to say and think that clearly, but in the past our club is maybe the best one in the league.’ Match Day Share or comment on this article: Ruben Amorim tells Man United players they have to 'run like mad dogs' to be winners again as Red Devils look to bounce back from Arsenal defeat against Nottingham Forest e-mail Add comment
