Following a 1-0 win at Portugal on Thursday, the U.S. has finished 2018 without a loss, winning 18 and drawing two of its 20 matches during the calendar year. Overall, Jill Ellis’ side has gone 28 games without a loss, having last tasted defeat in the summer of 2017....
Could the account have been hacked? Or had someone inadvertently leaked the nuclear launch codes on the internet? Neither, as it turns out. It was just a kid talking gibberish. As kids are known to do. USSTRATCOM Tweets Nonsense, Causes Panic There are several Twitter accounts you don’t ever want to see tweeting random sets of letters and numbers. The President of the United States, for example, although that would be make more sense than some of what the former President, Donald Trump, tweeted....

Darnold is projected by many — including Sporting News — as the potential No. 1 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, and leaves a massive hole at quarterback for the Trojans. Whoever takes the position over will have some big shoes to fill for a team that now has College Football Playoff aspirations. MORE: USC 2018 lookahead Enter Matt Fink, Jack Sears and JT Daniels. Those three are most likely to assume the mantle of USC quarterback in 2018, but each will have their work cut to win the position....
That’s the most pressing item on the table for the Trojans as they seek a second Pac-12 title in three seasons — and their first berth in the College Football Playoff — heading into 2018. But it’s not the only thing Clay Helton and Co. will need to figure out. MORE: USC 2018 lookahead USC, ranked 12th in Sporting News’ way-too-early top 25 poll, must also figure out who will step up in key positions on both sides of the ball, particularly at wide receiver....
While these changes in form might be intuitive or even explained explicitly to the character in each Pokemon game’s origin, in Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, many of the processes needed to change these Pokemon’s forms are fairly obtuse. In this guide, we’ll cover every Pokemon that changes form in ways other than evolution, how to obtain them, and what you must do to perfect their unique abilities....
Newsweek talked with Warrick about, among other things, the successes in Syria, some of the most chilling revelations that came out of his interviews, and what Biden’s challenges will be in the region. Edited excerpts: Syria has witnessed nearly a decade of atrocities linked to this conflict. What prompted you to investigate this subject specifically? I was drawn to exploring the one aspect of the Syrian crisis that compelled the United States and other powers to directly intervene....
Cinematic Mode for Non-VR Games While PlayStation VR is designed for playing virtual reality games, the second best use for it doesn’t fall far from the tree. When you launch a game that doesn’t support virtual reality, the headset goes into “cinematic mode.” This mode mimics sitting about six feet away from a theater screen and comes in three different sizes: A 117-inch “Small” screen, a 163-inch “Medium” screen and a whopping 226-inch “Large” screen....
A recent online campaign from Greenpeace described AGL as Australia’s “biggest climate polluter” with the slogan “AGL – Australia’s Greatest Liability,” the Associated Press reported. Greenpeace Australia Pacific accused AGL of “greenwashing” by promoting itself as a leading investor in renewable energy. AGL predominately generates electricity through coal. Under Australia’s trademark laws, logos can be used for satire, parody and criticism, which Greenpeace argued allowed it to use AGL’s logo for the campaign....

Adams captained the USMNT on Thursday in El Salvador in a match that saw the U.S. held in a 0-0 draw at a hostile Estadio Cuscatlan with the hosts frustrating the visitors in front of a raucous home crowd. The midfielder, who has played in a Champions League semifinal for RB Leipzig, says outsiders don’t fully understand how hard it is to navigate these games while setting his sights on much better performances after a disappointing draw on Thursday....
As Musah advanced, though, the ball did not. The field — yes, the field — had other ideas. MORE: USMNT escapes with a draw after Jamaica goal disallowed It’s not always the opposing fans or the refs or the pressure of the circumstance. Sometimes, it’s as simple as lacking the comforts of home. For a squad that included three teenagers and was the second-youngest the USMNT ever deployed for a qualifier, being unable to count on the ball rolling evenly was among the many reasons it left Jamaica with a 1-1 draw and a single point to add toward its total....
USMNT veterans find themselves playing for clubs like Barcelona, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich, among many other giants of Europe. In addition, domestic clubs are paying more and more money in transfer fees for USMNT stars, giving credence to domestic transfers. The biggest names are drawing more and more interest, which naturally leads to more and more speculation, and as a result, American players have found themselves the talk of the town across England, Germany, Spain, and other European soccer hotbeds....
This was the first meeting between the two countries, and just the second African country — Nigeria the other — that the USWNT has ever faced. Forward Crystal Dunn scored the lone goal in the 35th minute with a nice first-touch finish in the top of the net off of a Mallory Pugh cross. The ball looked destined to fall on the end of Alex Morgan’s boot, but it found its way to the far post, where Dunn was ready to finish....
The three-time grand slam champion and Feliciano Lopez took the title in London on Sunday just five months after the Brit underwent hip resurfacing surgery. An emotional Murray stated that his tennis career may be over when he pulled out of the Australian Open in January before going under the knife again. The 32-year-old hopes to play singles this season, but is unsure how soon he will be able to go it alone....
And with Washington and Moscow at worsening odds, a faraway frozen frontier connecting the world’s top two nuclear powers threatens to one day erupt should conflict ever break out between them. In the Arctic, tensions are rising precipitously as Cold War-era rivals pursue competing interests and prepare for a potential confrontation. “Even through the Cold War, through increased military activities in most recent years, the Arctic still has been a place where the eight Arctic nations come together and actually keep, for the most part, outside global politics separate from focusing on the Arctic,” Michael Sfraga, founding director of the Polar Institute and President’s Joe Biden’s selection to chair the U....
Spieth and Reed have teamed to great effect in two Ryder Cups and last year’s Presidents Cup, but will be meeting as match play opponents for the first time. Sixteen groups of four will play round-robin matches from Wednesday through Friday at Austin Country Club, where knockout competition begins with Saturday’s round of 16. Australian Jason Day, the 2016 champion when Austin Country Club hosted the event for the first time, beat South African Louis Oosthuizen in the final that year....
Backup goalkeeper Patrick Pemberton started two of those matches for the Ticos. The goal differential? A whopping 6-0 in favor of the U.S. Real Madrid star Keylor Navas got the nod for the other two — a pair of Costa Rica wins by, you guessed it, a combined 6-0 margin. That’s not a coincidence. As Costa Rica earned a 2-0 triumph Friday, marking its first World Cup qualifying win on American soil since 1985, Navas made it clear: He’s the most influential X-factor CONCACAF has to offer....
The positives included a roaring start against Wales highlighted by a signature moment from one of the USMNTs young stars, but they were tempered by a late defensive mistake that allowed the Welsh to salvage a 1-1 draw in the teams’ Group B opener. While the result ultimately felt like a letdown considering the momentum the U.S. had through much of the match, coach Gregg Berhalter’s side played with confidence as a new generation of USA players got their World Cup baptism after missing out on Russia 2018....
