Eric Peterson gets in touch: “I wouldn’t mind Wayne Rooney pulling on an old Everton kit and getting on some podcast to remind Arne Slot, “Easy there, sport. You say that the only thing you and Jurgen Klopp have in common is that you both won the league. That’s not true. You both won the league with Jurgen’s team. Whether you can build a champion of your own is a different question.”
Arne Slot just spoke to Sky, starting with Dominik Szoboszlai at full-back: “He needs to be because that’s what we need. We have our issues, especially in defence. Missing our 2 fullbacks, but Dominic has done that job really well. Last week, Curtis Jones, did his job really well. So that’s the good thing about midfielders, they are usually able to play in more positions than only in the midfields.

Super 8s: England, 146-9, beat Sri Lanka, 95, by 51 runs
Will Jacks scores useful 21 and takes three key wickets
During the first hour of this match the grass banks on each side of the wicket filled both in number and belief. Dot balls set off boisterous celebrations, wickets provoked delirium. An increasingly joyous crowd whooped as England’s batters trooped dolefully to and from the square. Mexican waves rippled around a stadium already – and prematurely as it turned out – in full celebration.
England were restricted to 146 for nine, an innings that revealed a few demons in the pitch and several, it seemed, in their heads. Again England faltered against spin. Jos Buttler remains in a pitiful search of form. Tom Banton was run out seeking a make-believe single, a victim of his own scrambled decision-making. Jacob Bethell, rather than giving himself a few moments to get the measure of Maheesh Theekshana, attacked the spinner’s first ball of the game and sent a leading edge to short third. The crowd delighted in every mis-step. Nothing about England’s innings made their total look remotely defendable. They won, in the end, by 51 runs.

Nithya Raman, a progressive urban planner, entered Los Angeles politics with a bang when she was elected to city council in 2020, defeating an incumbent Democrat endorsed by Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton.
More than five years on, the 44-year-old is making waves again with her last-minute entry into the LA mayoral race. Raman filed to run just hours before the deadline – after recently endorsing Mayor Karen Bass for re-election – to the surprise of constituents, and political allies and opponents alike.
