Okal has joined the ‘Slum Boys’ for two years and he is already gearing for a positive performance in the season. “Mathare United is a big club with a good history of molding young players.

Ander Herrera replaced him in the 54th minute of the contest at Vicarage Road with the Red Devils up 3-0. United 7/2 to beat Arsenal to nil Matic has started all 14 of Manchester United’s Premier League contests this season since his €45 million move from Chelsea during the summer transfer window, providing one assist for Jose Mourinho’s side. The severity of the injury is unknown, but there appeared to be little reason to take any chances with the midfielder as a first-half double by Ashley Young put United up early against Watford, with Anthony Martial adding a third before the half....

Tony Gustavsson’s side last played on home soil in April when they claimed consecutive wins over New Zealand. The Matildas latest camp in June didn’t go so well with Australia beaten 7-0 by Spain before being held to a late 1-1 draw with Portugal. While Canada’s last match against the USWNT ended in a 1-0 loss in July, they did claim five straight wins before that with their only other defeat this year coming against Spain in another 1-0 loss....

Gaetz, a Republican who represents Florida’s 1st congressional district, made a similar pledge in February last year, promising to stop taking money from federal PACs. “I’m fed up. If woke corporations declare themselves the enemies of free enterprise, the enemies of liberty, and if they fight the American people on behalf of the Radical Left, then I don’t want their money,” Cruz tweeted on Thursday. “Enough is enough,” he added, sharing a video of an interview he gave to Fox Business about his decision, which he announced in a Wall Street Journal op-ed....

Gatez, a Florida Republican, took to the House floor last Wednesday to describe threats made against him. He said that somebody who threatened to kill him over Twitter had traveled to Washington D.C. in the days leading up to his speech. He claimed that the Justice Department declined to arrest this person, despite the Capitol Police allegedly recommending they do so. “I think someone may be trying to kill me and if they are successful I would like my constituents and my family to know who stopped their arrest,” Gaetz said....

As the vote went to a seventh ballot on Thursday, almost all the anti-McCarthy votes remained in favor of Representative Byron Donalds, but Gaetz drew gasps from the House floor as he called out the name of the former president. Trump has endorsed McCarthy for speaker. In the previous ballots, Gaetz had voted for Representatives Andy Biggs, Jim Jordan and Byron Donalds. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has been unable to find a path to the speakership as a group of 20 House Republicans refuse to move from their opposition of McCarthy....

Nothing personal against Jimmie Johnson, of course, but Johnson is the guy who won five championships from 2006-2010, and he has almost embraced the battle of himself against the “48 haters.” MORE: SN’s Texas picks | Chasers need Kenseth, Johnson to falter | Standings So with Johnson and Kenseth tied atop the Cup standings—with a 27-point edge on Jeff Gordon, 28 on Kevin Harvick and 36 on Kyle Busch—Kenseth has a chance to be the guy to continue in the footsteps of 2011 champion Tony Stewart and 2012 champion Brad Keselowski to break the Johnson dynasty....

Anderson also reported that Tkachuk skated in the morning skate on the top line ahead of Thursday night’s game against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Scherzer kept himself in his start against the Marlins by emphatically telling Nats skipper Matt Williams he “f—ing wanted” the next batter in a key moment. Williams, perhaps loath to further anger his $210 million right-hander, turned and walked back to the dugout.

Eight employees at the Mayfield Consumer Products factory in Kentucky were killed in the collapse nearly a week ago, and some have accused the company of threatening to fire them if they left.
