The past two weeks have been plenty good for Carl Monday. Not only was he a charter member of our own Hall of Fame, but he also won … an Emmy! Yes, Carl won his, by our count, 31st regional Emmy last week, and it was a special one: It appeared not to be for any individual story but instead for "journalistic enterprise." This catch-all phrase allows him to earn his Emmy for creating his own little niche, which we respect and absolutely support. We feel bad for those who must lose to Carl seemingly every year; what's it gonna take to beat that guy? So, congratulations, Carl. We imagine you constantly checking on your 31 Emmys to make sure none of them have tried to have sex with each other. WJW-8 Takes Home Seven Local Emmys; WOIO-19 Gets Six [Cleveland Plain-Dealer]

There was drama and set-piece goals aplenty in Colombia v Japan following the pattern set by Russia 2018 so far.

Tuesday s Group H meeting also threw up another abundance of intrigue, the Blue Samurai springing something of a surprise with a 2-1 victory in Saransk.
And the fixture, although perhaps not at the top of most neutrals must-see list, served up more of the set-piece drama that has become an underlying theme across the first six days in Russia.

Poland s Dutch coach Leo Beenhakker on Thursday released a 26-player list from which he plans to draw his final 23-member squad for Euro 2008, the country s first ever European championships appearance.
Beenhakker said he had trimmed six names from the initial 31-member list which he had announced on April 16.
The excluded players, however, will remain on standby in case any of his picks are injured or fail to perform as Poland warm up for the June tournament in Austria and Switzerland.
Until May 28, I m totally free to change some players on the standby list in and out, Beenhakker told reporters, referring to the deadline set by European football s governing body UEFA for announcing teams.
In addition, Beenhakker added a player who had not figured o…
Sean Dyche is ready for Everton to put last season s challenges behind them by making a positive start to the Premier League against Brighton on Saturday.
Everton had to contend with two points deductions last season, but an impressive run of results at the end of the campaign ensured they comfortably avoided relegation.
While they did not make the best start to pre-season, going winless in their first three games, they finished on a positive note, with a win against Preston North End and a draw with Roma.
Though they will be without key players for their opener, including Jarrad Branthwaite, Dyche is optimistic about what the season will bring.
You get the sense that, after last season s challenges and the positive end, I think there is more calmness an…
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will be at Paris Saint-Germain and have Pep Guardiola as their coach by next year, says Fabrice Pancrate.
Messi has told Barcelona he wants out but was reportedly turned down in his request for a meeting with club president Josep Maria Bartomeu to discuss a transfer.
PSG sporting director Leonardo is said to have contacted the 33-year-old s father, Jorge, to inquire about his situation, though Manchester City – managed by former Barca boss Guardiola – are rumoured to be the favourites to sign the six-time Ballon d Or winner.
However, Pancrate, who played for PSG between 2004 and 2009, believes the Ligue 1 champions have a masterplan in place which involves not only Messi, but Guardiola and Juventus star Ronaldo too.

(GSM) AC Milan announced on Monday that goalkeeper Christian Abbiati signed a contract extension that will keep him with the Rossoneri through the summer of 2013, according to the team s official Web site.
The two-year extension keeps Abbiati, 33, at the San Siro through what might be the end of his professional football career.
Abbiati would be just shy of his 36th birthday by the time his new deal expires, and his current deal was set to expire at the end of the 2010-11 season.
The goalkeeper has been on the books at Milan since 1998, but he has had loan spells at Juventus, Torino and Atlético Madrid in the last five years.
There had been speculation as to Abbiati s future after Milan signed Marco Amelia on loan from Genoa for the upcoming Serie A cam…
Marco Silva is hoping Fulham’s 3-2 defeat to champions Manchester City will give his players “courage” against Aston Villa upon their return to Premier League action.
The Cottagers went toe-to-toe with Pep Guardiola’s side before the international break but were made to rue missed opportunities during the contest, with Adama Traore the most notable for squandering some gilt-edged chances at the Etihad.
However, Silva is confident his team can take encouragement from their display as they aim to maintain their unbeaten record at Craven Cottage this season.
“To see City finish with three central defenders with five at the back shows that we were creating problems for them, not just in transition,” Silva said.
“It gives us courage. We know what…

Arsenal have raised their season ticket prices for the first time in seven years, with prices to increase by at least four per cent to return finances to a breakeven position in the medium term .
The Gunners welcomed back a full capacity to Emirates Stadium this campaign, after over a season of playing games almost entirely behind closed doors due to COVID-19.
