Former Ireland striker Andy Keogh has dismissed Usain Bolt’s ambition to be a footballer and derided his touch, saying it’s like that of a trampoline. His verdict came Friday as the coach of the Central Coast Mariners refused to say whether he believes the sprint star can make it as a footballer.

While European bishops discuss how to bring young people back to the Church at the 2018 Synod of Bishops, one bishop from Cameroon said that he has the opposite problem. “My churches are all bursting, and I don’t have space to keep the young people,” said Bishop Andrew Nkea Fuanya of Mamfe said at a Vatican press conference Oct. 24. “And my shortest Mass would be about two and a half hours,” he added. A study by Pew Research Center in August 2018 found that church attendance and prayer frequency was highest in sub-Saharan Africa and lowest in Western Europe.…

The front cover of the Manchester United match programme for their Champions League clash against Juventus billed the game as a “Match for the Ages.” It is a rivalry that stretches back more than 40 years to the first of their 12 meetings before this Group H encounter, and from a United perspective at least, their story with Juventus has traced the peaks and troughs of their development and status as a European heavyweight. When United have fallen short against the Italian giants, as in 1984 and 1996, they have looked a million miles from being where they want –…

Mohamed Salah made history on Wednesday night, hitting the 50-goal mark in fewer games than any other player in the history of Liverpool Football Club. Much has been made of Salah’s apparent poor form so far this season, following an incredible first term at Anfield that saw him notch 44 goals and scoop multiple end-of-season awards.
