I haven’t seen anyone better than me.” Was this a gauche, egotistical indiscretion or the knowing remark of a consummate self-publicist with brilliant intuition for grabbing the world’s attention? Ronaldo is an athlete  par excellence , and his prodigious skills are the reason we first knew of him. But there have been other exceptional football players, all of whom distinguished themselves as the world’s best. Pelé in the 1960s, Johan Cruyff in the 1970s, Diego Maradona in the 1980s, Lionel Messi in the 2010s: Each redefined what seemed possible in their er...

The European Commission said on Friday it was fining Elon Musk’s social media app X with the equivalent of $140 million, saying that it had breached the bloc’s digital rulebook — a move that will likely draw the ire of the American government . The European Commission alleged that X violated the Digital Services Act, a sweeping 2022 law that requires internet companies to aggressively combat hate speech and misinformation. The law — one of the most far-reaching attempts to fight problematic material online — mandates that companies set up policies and procedures to remove posts deemed illegal by countries within the 27-country union .

England’s bowling unit, led by Archer and Gus Atkinson, will look to Mitchell ...
