'Sublime' French Ice Dancers Win Silver at Olympics Just One Day After Wardrobe Malfunction

Entertainment

After making headlines worldwide for a wardrobe malfunction during the short dance Monday afternoon, which aired Sunday night stateside, the duo competed the following day without a similar distraction, earning silver in a skate declared one for the history books. Papadakis burst into tears at the end of the skate as she hugged her longtime skating partner. The duo earned an unprecedented score of 205.28 — the highest ever free dance score, per NBC.

Nemanja Matic reveals his thoughts on VAR after controversy in Man United’s win vs Huddersfield

Nemanja Matic reveals his thoughts on VAR after controversy in Man United’s win vs Huddersfield

Sports
Nemanja Matic has revealed his support for the Video Assistant Referee system caused controversy in Manchester United’s 2-0 win against Huddersfield Town.
 Juan Mata appeared to have doubled Man United’s lead before half-time, but the goal was ruled out after consulting the VAR for around two minutes, with it deemed offside. The controversial choice to go to VAR was made of greater significance after the lines to determine Mata’s position when the ball was played weren’t straight. Matic said the idea of VAR is a good one, but that the implementation must be improved to result in quicker decisions. “Two minutes is a long time on the pitch, but overall it will be good for football,” Matic said. “It’s normal that referees make mistakes every game and they can refer it to TV, but it needs to b

Mourinho believes win over Sevilla would help CL challenge

Mourinho believes win over Sevilla would help CL challenge

Sports
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has claimed that only should his team beat Sevilla can they truly be considered to be Champions League contenders. The two clubs clash on Wednesday for the first leg being played in Spain where the Portuguese manager will certainly be hoping his players can grab a few away goals. The draw against the La Liga club was seen as favourable for United who aren’t necessarily expected to challenge for Europe’s top trophy. Getting into the quarter finals sounds just about right in the Red Devils’ first season back in the Champions League since Louis Van Gaal‘s time. Mourinho is also not seriously considering his players to challenge but believes once teams get into the last eight, anything can happen. According to the Mirror, Jose said...

Mourinho hails these two Man Utd stars after win vs Huddersfield

Sports
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has hailed Chris Smalling and Victor Lindelof’s performances in the 2-0 victory over Huddersfield in the fifth round of the FA Cup. The two defenders were involved from the start of the match and put in convincing displays despite initial concerns from fans. Lindelof is clearly a player supporters look forward to seeing more of but he has proven that he needs some patience as he adjusts to his new surroundings. Smalling meanwhile, put behind himself a horrible performance vs Newcastle to give fans some hope but they’ll surely be cautious of it. Mourinho was certainly impressed with both players, particularly in their first half performance as United headed 1-0 up at the break. According to Manchester Evening News, Jose said: “For ...

Huddersfield 0 – Manchester United 2 Manchester United booker their progression to the quarter-final of the FA Cup in some style on Saturday. The result was never in doubt once Romelu Lukaku put Manchester United 1-0 up thanks to some fine strength from the Belgian on three minutes. There was controversy – see the picture above – as Juan Mata scored what looked to be a legal goal on the stroke of half-time. However, it was ruled out by VAR much to the surprise of Mata himself and pretty much everyone on social media.
