Andres Iniesta is choosing between China and Japan

Image
Barcelona captain wants to know his future before the World Cup  “I must decide between China or Japan. I hope to answer this question next week so I can focus on the World Cup.”  “The World Cup in Russia will be the last time I play with the Spanish national team.” “I’m leaving because I understand that I have to, it’s that time. On a physical and mental level, it would be difficult for me to give this team what it deserves, in all senses, I say it with all the pain of my heart.”  “I know what this club demands and I feel it is the most honest decision for the club and for me.”  Do you think it is the right decision for both Iniesta and the club?

Sky Sports' review of United's 2017/18 Premier League season

Image
Pundit Charlie Nicholas reflects on United's year. Managerial review "Jose Mourinho is not even close to manager of the season and if they do not win the FA Cup he's under major pressure because of his history of being a serial winner. He never looks comfortable as United manager and, with a relatively bland team, he's probably got six to 12 months to prove himself because he's not really improved the way this team play." Player of the Year "I know David De Gea got it from the club but I hate to give it to goalkeepers unless they've been unbelievable for a lesser team. Yes, he's the best goalkeeper in the world, but I would actually give it to Jesse Lingard because he scores goals and brings entertainment to an otherwise bland team." 2018/19 prospects "I don't see them as favourites for the title next season. They're part of the top six but there's so much other sides will do. I see Man City as big fav...

Image
President Donald Trump said he was working with Chinese President Xi Jinping to keep ZTE Corp. in business, throwing an extraordinary lifeline to the Chinese telecommunication giant that has been laid low by U.S. moves to cut off its suppliers.

The Commerce Department is reviewing ZTE’s request for a stay of that order. Mr. Trump said in a tweet that he is working with Mr. Xi to get ZTE “a way to get back into business, fast. Too many jobs in China lost.” He said the Commerce Department has been instructed to “get it done!” Mr. Trump’s comments about...
