These leaders, of course, weren’t acting out of altruism. They knew their economies were the most competitive, so they’d profit most from liberalization. And developing countries feared that their economies would be swamped by superior Western productivity. Today, however, the tables have turned—though few acknowledge it. The West continues to preach free trade, but practices it less and less (especially in agriculture; this is why the Doha Round of trade talks is dying)....

TikTok user Julia posted the video on her account @elliewiththebelly1 where it was viewed 1 million times. While some viewers found the surprise amusing, others were more critical and discussed the importance of getting pets spayed and neutered. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), there are medical benefits to spaying and neutering a pet, since it helps control the “pet homelessness crisis.” Spaying pets may also prevent uterine infections and breast tumors....

Everton make smart investment in Pickford In teaming up with Ronald Koeman at Everton, he has made a good step to a Premier League team with big ambitions. The €27 million fee is an exceptional return for the Amsterdam side and expectation will be huge for someone who attracted interest from Napoli and Roma. But Ronald Koeman was a key influence in his signing and noted his progress in a recent interview....

Tuesday was one of those nights. Golden State led the Eastern Conference’s second-best team, Indiana, by double digits on the road for a majority of the game. The Pacers used a hot fourth quarter to make it close, but the Dubs remained perfect, winning 131-123.

Except for the Lakers, apparently. MORE: Who can stop the Warriors? | Kobe hints at retirement | Durant to the Warriors? While the Lakers have one of the worst records in the NBA, Mychal Thompson, a two-time champion with the franchise and father of Warriors star Klay Thompson, believes that’ll work in their favor when they travel to Golden State on Nov. 24. Sort of like how it did in one of their four matchups last season....

Bradley: EPL is what every coach wants The 33-year-old Seattle Sounders attacker will miss the remainder of the MLS season and playoffs after having a setback in his recovery from an irregular heartbeat. He also will miss World Cup qualifiers against Mexico and Costa Rica in November. But the Sounders are hopeful Dempsey will be ready for the 2017 MLS season and Klinsmann believes it may be possible for the attacker to return to the national team fold even sooner....

Klinsmann was a hero during his time at White Hart Lane hitting 29 goals in the 1994-95 season that he spent in north London. The retired German forward, who scored 40 goals for his national team, spoke about Kane’s talent on the club’s official website. “I’m a big admirer of Harry,” he said. “He’s very complete in his game.” “He can score with his left foot, right foot, his head and he’s a great passer of the ball....

The U.S. national team head coach hasn’t led the Americans in a World Cup yet — let alone led them to World Cup success — but Klinsmann still managed to score a four-year contract extension and added the title of technical director before a Brazuca was ever kicked in Brazil at the World Cup. The move seemed forced and needless when first announced, but U.S. Soccer president Sunil Gulati was quick to defend it as a necessary maneuver to lock up a coach who has done such great work for the U....

On the same day U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann was laying out the details of Donovan’s farewell, the LA Galaxy midfielder was on the other side of the country making it clear just who was really behind the gesture. To the surprise of nobody, it wasn’t Klinsmann. “I give (U.S. Soccer president Sunil Gulati) a lot of credit for making the effort to make this happen,” Donovan told the Galaxy Insider on Tuesday....

The Brazil international had to leave Anfield in a protective boot on Saturday after suffering the problem in the first half of his side’s 2-0 win over Sunderland. Coutinho set for ankle scan Fears Coutinho may have suffered ligament damage that would lead to a long spell out of the team continue after Klopp revealed the club were still waiting for scan results, even if he has an idea what the information may be....

Premier League Team of the Week Liverpool suffered an unexpected 2-1 defeat to Sam Allardyce’s Eagles at Anfield, where the home team’s backline proved unable to cope with the return of striker Christian Benteke, who moved to Selhurst Park from the Merseyside giants in August. Speaking ahead of a trip to face Watford in the Premier League on Monday, Klopp claimed he was unconcerned at the site of the powerful Belgian bullying Joel Matip and Dejan Lovren....

Nursing a 3-0 deficit from last week’s first leg and missing star forwards Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino, Liverpool sprung into action at Anfield and hit the front through Divock Origi after seven minutes. A quickfire double by half-time substitute Georginio Wijnaldum had the tie remarkably all square before the hour and Alexander-Arnold’s quick thinking created Origi’s decisive final salvo. Shaping to jog away from a right-wing corner, the England right-back darted back towards the ball and arrowed in a low cross that was emphatically smashed home by Origi as Barcelona’s defenders groggily looked on....

Liverpool team news & likely line-up Sturridge has again battled a series of injuries this season, scoring just two Premier League goals in 18 appearances — although just five have been starts. Wins over West Ham and Middlesbrough to finish the campaign will be enough for Liverpool — who sit third — to qualify for next season’s Champions League. Ahead of a trip to the London Stadium on Sunday, Klopp said Sturridge was fit and available should he be needed....

United announced on Saturday that Ferguson had undergone a successful operation, but there has been no further update on the 76-year-old’s well-being. And, speaking after Liverpool’s defeat to Chelsea, Klopp put club rivalries aside to join his managerial counterparts in wishing Ferguson well. “I met Sir Alex after the first leg against Roma, he was there with Gerard Houllier,” Klopp said. “I had a few words with them. When I heard it on the way to London I couldn’t believe it....

The tournament in Cameroon had been due to be played in June and July, during the off-season for many European leagues, and Liverpool had been planning accordingly. However, concerns over weather conditions at that time of year meant it was decided to move it on the calendar, which also means there will be no clash with an expanded Club World Cup in China. While the Africa Cup of Nations will go ahead in cooler temperatures, there was no disguising Klopp’s heated response to the decision....

Salah won Liverpool’s Player and Players’ Player of the Season awards on Thursday before heading straight to the capital to pick up the Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year prize. Liverpool need to beat Brighton and Hove Albion at Anfield on Sunday to guarantee Champions League qualification for next season, although a draw would also almost certainly keep the Reds above Chelsea. And Klopp felt it was unfair for Salah to be asked to visit the capital for an awards ceremony in the build-up to a pivotal match for Liverpool....

The meniscus is a cushion in the knee joint. It is made up of one of two types of cartilage found in the knee. The other type is called articular cartilage. A meniscus tear is one type of knee cartilage tear, but tears can occur in both types. Both types of injury can cause symptoms like knee pain, buckling of the knee joint, and difficulty putting weight on the knee....

The 31-year-old endured a frustrating tournament, taking five wickets in four matches and averaging only 12 with the bat. He was treated at a Manchester hospital, according to a post on his Instagram page, where he wrote: “Surgery was a success thanks for the kind words from everyone!” Russell was replaced in West Indies’ squad by opening batsman Sunil Ambris, who could come into contention to face India at Old Trafford on Thursday....

The loaded ensemble cast includes Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Dave Bautista, Kathryn Hahn, Kate Hudson, and Jada Pinkett Smith, the last of whom was also confirmed by set photos. Following the release of the original, Netflix dished out more than $450 million for the rights to Knives Out 2 and Knives Out 3, though Johnson reportedly retains a great degree of creative control....
