      Crystal Palace v Manchester City: FA Cup final – live

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 17 May

    Hello and welcome to live, minute-by-minute coverage of the FA Cup final between Crystal Palace and Manchester City. Since the FA Cup started to lose its lustre in the late 1990s, many finals have failed to get the juices flowing – and that’s just before the game. It is my abundant pleasure to tell you that today’s match is very different, a fascinating prospect and a delicious study in contrasts.

    Palace are one of the deadliest counter-attacking teams around; City, even in such a disappointing season, remains England’s possession kings. Palace are dreaming of the first major trophy in their history; City are desperate to win their first major trophy this season. It’s a perfectly pitched contest – not a heavyweight clash but not David v Goliath either. Palace have a much greater chance than that little shepherd boy with the sling, and look what he managed.

      Middlesex confirm interest in ‘iconic player of his generation’ Virat Kohli

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 17 May

    • India batter retired from Test cricket this week
    • Kohli could play in County Championship or Metro Bank Cup

    Virat Kohli could yet be seen batting in England once more after Middlesex confirmed they are keen to lure India’s recently retired galáctico to Lord’s. The 36-year-old called time on his stellar Test career at the start of the week, ruling himself out of the five-Test series in England that begins at Headingley next month. But notably his statement said nothing about drawing a line through first-class cricket.

    Middlesex have form when it comes to using Lord’s as a pull for star overseas talent, having signed South Africa’s AB de Villiers for the T20 Blast in 2019 and attracted New Zealand’s Kane Williamson over for the second half of this season. Both deals came about in collaboration with MCC – Williamson will also play for London Spirit – and officials there have indicated they would be happy to similarly split the cost of any deal for Kohli. There is a belief that, as someone steeped in the sport’s history, Kohli is keen to play at the Home of Cricket again.

The deaths of Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix remain etched on F1’s psyche but the demanding Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari has been the scene of some of the sport’s most-compelling races. Here are three of the best:

    When Hamilton announced he was to switch to Ferrari from Mercedes at the start of last season, the tifosi knew there was a full season to go before their man would don the scarlet but even at this race last year his arrival was being celebrated. The most successful driver in the sport’s history finally united with the oldest and most successful marque and the dream of finally ending the Scuderia’s drivers’ championship drought stretching back to 2007.

      ‘Don’t yap to cops’: why Hasan Piker’s US customs story kicked off a backlash

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 17 May

    CBP agents’ questioning of the leftwing streamer shone a light on an urgent question: what are your rights at the border (or airport)?

    When Hasan Piker was stopped and questioned about his political views by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents at Chicago’s O’Hare airport last Sunday, the popular leftwing streamer thought he knew exactly what their motive was. “Obviously the reason for why they’re doing that is, I think, to try to create an environment of fear,” he told his legion of fans on a Twitch stream in which he described his ordeal. “To try to get people like myself … to shut the fuck up.”

    But the decision by Piker – a 33-year-old US citizen – to entertain the agents’ questions for nearly two hours has some of the self-described socialist’s fans and allies questioning why he didn’t do just that.
