Your hair is shorter than Fellaini but, when I do that, what are you doing then? Van Gaal stunned reporters during a Holland training session last month after telling a woman to meet him at the team hotel "to get laid", in front of dozens of cameras.

Angel Di Maria is expected to start for Argentina when they lock horns with Louis van Gaal's Netherlands at the World Cup this evening.

For him, it was the wing, wide and especially on the left. In the Argentina team, he plays on the left. Van Gaal previously said Di Maria couldn’t adapt to life in England. "I told him 'no way, no way', but he kept saying we will be a little more financially secure and we have to go. I just told him, 'Darling, I want to kill myself, it's night time at two o'clock.'" “Van Gaal was the worst of my career. "I didn't want to go, I told him to go alone.

Contreras -- entering his first season with the Cardinals after spending the first seven years of his big league career with the rival Chicago Cubs -- plans on wearing custom cleats which pay homage to the 10-time All-Star and future Hall of Famer: “To me, he owns the city. (This) program is built on work, it’s not built on hype.” In some sense, Rhule seems to be issuing a warning that Nebraska will not have an immediate turnaround, which is fair. The Packers do not want to have to compensate the Jets if Rodgers retires in a year. His club, Rogle, reports that Kasper will join the Red Wings “as early as this week,” though he didn’t specify whether he’ll go to Detroit or report to the Grand Rapids Griffins of the AHL. New Nebraska coach Matt Rhule is certainly trying to put his stamp on the program early, and he seems to be positioning himself very differently to how some other schools are going about business. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was among the NFL players critical of the league’s decision to open the door to teams playing two “Thursday Night Football” games in a season, and commissioner Roger Goodell is trying to respond to that narrative. Goodell tried to combat the narrative that the league was “putting Amazon over our players,” as he put it, by arguing that there is no evidence of increased injury rate and claiming that some players have told him they enjoy the long break that comes with being featured on a Thursday night game. With much of their focus being on Pollard for the future, the Cowboys decided to part ways with Ezekiel Elliott and save $10 million in the process.

You know, I’ve had a number of conversations with Dak, but it’s not easy.” Elliott will be with a new team for the first time in his NFL career. There’s so much love for him in the building, but you get to these spots, you know, the longer you’re in this league, these are tough decisions.
