The 19-year-old has become a regular with Schalke this season, leading many to pencil him in as a future U.S. national team fixture. But the Texas native isn’t letting his success get to his head, and McKennie says that his mom is a driving force in keeping him level headed. “I know exactly who I am and where I come from,” McKennie told Kicker. “And my mom would bust my chops if I would suddenly start behaving like a star....

We are not saying that because people are too short or too tall, or mentally deficient or physically deficient somehow or another, that their personal worth is something less; we are just saying that they do not fit in. And if you want to start breaking down those barriers and trying to make people fit in where I do not think they belong, you are going to hurt the United States military....

Despite being priced higher than many gamers were used to, the first DLC entitled the Stimulus package broke sales records for Xbox Live, then later went on to do the same for PSN. Completely expected was the fact that Activision now had the go-ahead to charge the same amount for the next DLC Resurgence Pack. Since the game has gone on to become not only a sales monster for Activision in boxed copies, but DLC as well, it’s safe to say that MW2 has been the unrivaled king of online multiplayer since it was released....

When developing Modern Warfare 3, Infinity Ward is well aware of what needs to change and what needs to be relatively preserved in order to keep an experience that feels improved, but still familiar. While we have yet to hear anything in regards to specific changes being made to the game’s multiplayer, IW’s Robert Bowling may have dropped a small tease about one of the changes being made to the game’s explosions – or at the least the damage they inflict....

Game Rant’s Ben Kendrick reviews ModNation Racers ModNation Racers was released on May 25th - so it might seem strange to be posting our review now. However, with so much of ModNation following in the footsteps of the LittleBigPlanet Play, Create, Share mantra, we felt that reviewing the title solely on its single player and versus functionality wouldn’t accurately encompass whether or not the game was a success. The single most important aspect of ModNation Racers could not be determined on release day - would the team at United Front Games succeed in fostering a creative community of drivers and designers on which the title could flourish for years to come?...

Yvonne Francis took her 3-year-old son to the hospital after he choked on a piece of apple because he was struggling to breath. Initially diagnosed with asthma, his lungs were so full of secretions it was difficult to see if he fully inhaled the apple and once being transferred to the children’s hospital, doctors found he was battling COVID-19 an a slew of other viruses. Yvonne told The Salt Lake Tribune that over the course of 12 hours, his condition went from a runny nose to a wet cough and a fever....

During a White House briefing on the U.S.’s response to the coronavirus outbreak on Sunday, Trump repeatedly touted hydroxychloroquine as a promising treatment for the coronavirus, despite warnings from Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, that more research needed to be done on the drug’s impact on COVID-19 patients. Asked to comment on whether it was still the case that the drug required rigorous testing before the White House could champion it as a potential treatment for coronavirus, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said that “although hydroxychloroquine has been used to treat some people with COVID-19, more data is needed to prove that the treatment can improve outcomes in people with COVID-19....

In a time, when importance and its ugly relation, self-importance, seem to be in high-demand, Morning’s at Seven doesn’t have an “important” line in it. Its plot is not very complicated: In a quiet, small Midwestern town, Homer an eccentric 40-ish son stirs things up by bringing his longtime girlfriend home to meet his family—for the first time. There aren’t even many memorable lines in the play—one about a telephone stands out—but it has charm to spare and a bunch of meaty roles for actors to sink their teeth into....

In an interview with SFX Magazine, McQuoid revealed that the film intends to push the blood and gore “right to the limit." The games in the Mortal Kombat franchise are known for their brutality, with characters ripping hearts out of their opponent’s chest. McQuoid’s vision for the movie wanted to retain this level of gore and the director said they wanted to “do it properly” to truly honor the games, without going overboard....

Game Rant covered the April release announcement last month and Warner Bros. makes the smart move of capitalizing on the excitement of Mortal Kombat’s reboot release in April for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Worldwide web users have tuned into the unofficial trailer more than 10 million times, so keeping the same director, producer, and writer will help assure the same gritty, violent portrayal throughout the web series. Aaron Helbing and Todd Helbing join Kevin to form the writing team....

It followed special counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony on Wednesday that Russia is still attempting to interfere in American democracy, further to its meddling in the 2016 presidential election, with a view to disrupting the 2020 contest. Then on Thursday, the Senate Intelligence Committee published a report detailing Russian interference dating back to at least 2014 through to 2017 that targeted U.S. election infrastructure with an “unprecedented level of activity.”...

A prominent voice against the show is Max Verstappen, who refused to be a part of the show for several seasons as he felt Netflix created fake narratives to benefit their audiences. However, after sitting down with Netflix, Verstappen has now cleared the air and will feature on the fifth season of the docuseries that is to start in about a month’s time. David Coulthard, on the other hand, has no issues with Netflix’s treatment of the drivers, claiming that most of them are boring outside the sport....

Episode 9 of I Love a Mama’s Boy, titled Who Invited You? featured Emily trying to get on the good side of Shekeb’s mother. Despite lending an olive branch, Laila still didn’t approve of their relationship. Laila had planned to sabotage Emily’s dinner party. Instead of bringing her husband, Laila turned up at Emily’s doorstep with Yussra. Laila had previously attempted to set up Shekeb with Yussra. Although Emily was aware of what her boyfriend’s mother was trying to do, she tried to keep calm and be a good host....

Commenting on his team’s 3-0 defeat to Thailand U23 on Friday, Malaysia U23 head coach Datuk Ong Kim Swee has chalked the defeat up to his players’ lack of confidence against the South East Asian giants. In their second Group H match of the U23 AFC Championship qualifiers that was held at the National Stadium, Bangkok, Chenrop Samphaodi scored two goals for the hosts; in the 25th minute and the first half injury time, before Picha U-Tra added their third in the 87th minute....

Eight years after she was shot and killed, I still long to hear her key in our front door. I still picture her flopping on the couch and swapping jokes with her younger brother. I yearn to hear her big, boisterous laugh bouncing off the kitchen walls, the sound of her chatting a mile a minute on the phone with her friends or the whispered secrets we shared as mother and daughter....

Why Ozil needs Mou… not Wenger The Germany international made the move to Emirates Stadium in a deal reported to be worth £42.5 million in 2013 after three years at the Santiago Bernabeu, during which time he won La Liga and the Copa del Rey. Ozil revealed that he personally put the call in to Gunners boss Arsene Wenger to make the deal happen after talks with Madrid president Florentino Perez soured and led to the World Cup winner dismissing his father Mustafa as his agent....

Ronaldo is not selfish - Benzema The 21-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough season as Madrid claimed the Champions League and La Liga titles, coming off the bench to score the last goal in his side’s 4-1 triumph against Juventus in Cardiff to defend their European crown. Although Asensio only started 11 Liga games for Zinedine Zidane’s side, the midfielder became an increasingly important player for the Frenchman in the second half of the season as he rotated his squad to keep star names including Cristiano Ronaldo fit for the run-in....

A few years later, I moved into college dorms and met Daniel. We were both 18, and he had never had a girlfriend so I was trying to set him up with my roommate. I didn’t think I would ever date him because he didn’t seem my type; he had a Beatles’ bowl haircut at the time and wore all his brother’s oversized clothes. But we were always hanging out; we had a “friendship spark....
