Barack Obama Consoling Orlando victims, President recasts somber role

Every time I think about those kids, it gets me mad," Obama said in January, tears rolling down his cheek, as he launched a push to make gun control an issue in the Nov. 8 election to succeed him. Reprising his frequent role of " consoler in chief ," President  Barack Obama  will fly to Orlando  on Thursday to meet with survivors of the massacre at a gay nightclub and families of some of the 49 people killed. The  White House  said Obama's visit to the Florida  city where  Omar Mateen  pledged allegiance to  Islamic State  during a three-hour rampage through the  Pulse  nightclub, was not about the gunman but comforting the victims of the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. " This will be, I think, an emotional trip ," White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters, saying Obama would offer condolences on behalf of the nation. " The president recognizes that he is a symbol for the rest of the country. But it would be impossibl

A FLOP FOR BARCA AND NOW FOR TURKEY TOO - WHERE IT ALL WENT WRONG FOR ARDA TURAN

In Turan's case, most expected better. Before the recent friendlies against England and Montenegro, Terim had launched a passionate defence of his star player, claiming the Spanish press had singled out Arda for unfair criticism. After the game against Croatia, however, even the 29-year-old held his hands up and admitted that he was off the pace, saying sorry to the supporters: "First of all I have to apologise to the fans for my poor performance. I think I played badly." Arda arrived at Barca as a replacement for Xavi and needless to say he has been unable to fill those sizeable shoes. Not even close. Despite sitting out the first six months due to the transfer ban in the second half of 2015, he showed some nice touches in his first few games. Later, however, he has failed to build on that early promise. The perception is that he needs far too many touches to be a successful member of the Barca midfield. Other players, like Javier Mascherano and even Neymar, have

Tom Hiddleston Seems to Have Swept Taylor Swift Off Her Feet: Further Proof That He's the Real-Life James Bond

For those of you who didn't fall for his odd allure as Loki in  Thor  and  The Avengers , or didn't crush on him as F. Scott Fitzgerald in Midnight in Paris , or weren't uncomfortably drawn to him in  Crimson Peak —or heaven forbid, were  not completely convinced that he could play 007 after watching him spy, lie, save the day  and  bed the girl(s) in  The Night Manager —take note. This is  Taylor Swift  's new man (or at least her new  sitting-on-a-rock-and-kissing buddy ), and no matter what he does next, or how long it lasts... He's in the pantheon. Songs will be written about him. And while a quick poll of our office will have you wondering if it's actually Hiddleston who stars in  Sherlock , considering the outsized gush factor, he's not the  most  obvious heartthrob, even as the Redmaynes and the Cumberbatches of the world take over. But there's a reason why, despite being rumored for the part, he doesn't need to play James Bond.

Spursy! Arsenal fans blame Tottenham players for late England collapse Read more: http://metro.co.uk/2016/06/11/spursy-arsenal-fans-blame-tottenham-players-for-late-england-collapse-5938902/#ixzz4BeFKxXuW

It was more than a tad harsh considering it was a Tottenham player who fired England into a deserved lead, but Three Lions’ fans couldn’t help but label Roy Hodgson’s side ‘Spursy’ for throwing away two points in their Euro 2016 opener. Eric Dier thumped England ahead with a rasping free kick with just under 20 minutes remaining but England were undone deep into injury time when Vasili Berezutski’s header looped over Joe Hart and dropped in at the far post. Hodgson’s side contained five of the Spurs players who buckled under pressure in the closing weeks of the Premier League season, failing to win any of their final four games and handing second place to Arsenal having failed to keep with eventual winners Leicester. Twitter, was in a typically unforgiving mood, an knew where to aim the blame for another painful England capitulation. Not sure if it's a coincidence that an England team so dominated by Spurs players, bottle it right at the end.

The stats that suggest Cristiano Ronaldo really should have kept his mouth shut Read more: http://metro.co.uk/2016/06/15/the-stats-that-suggest-cristiano-ronaldo-really-should-have-kept-his-mouth-shut-5945226/#ixzz4BeEJtWCr

Cristiano Ronaldo really doesn’t help himself, does he? After Iceland, population 330,000, caused the upset of Euro 2016 so far by holding out for a heroic 1-1 draw against one of the pre-tournament favourites. Ronaldo chose to swerve the magnanimous route and enhanced his reputation as primadonna of the highest order. ‘Iceland only tried to defend… they had two chances and then did not try to score,’ Ronaldo said after the game. ‘They celebrated like they had won the Euro cup or something. That’s a small mentality. That’s why they’ll do nothing.’ Shame on you Cristiano! Rather than blame Iceland’s supposed anti-football, the Real Madrid superstar should perhaps looks a little closer to home for Portugal’s false start.

Gareth Bale has been stoking the fires ahead of Wales’ crunch Euro 2016 encounter with England on Thursday but the Real Madrid star looks ready for his feet to do the talking after he was captured scoring a sensational goal in training. The former Tottenham winger scored the opening goal in Saturday’s 2-1 win over Slovakia which propelled Wales to the top of Group B ahead of Thursday’s meeting in Lille. Bale has already claimed England cannot match Wales for passion and commitment and they may well struggle to compete on the pitch if this magnificent scissor kick is anything to go by

Northern Ireland at Euro 2016: The boys have something to prove - Chris Brunt

West Brom midfielder Chris Brunt has won 48 caps for Northern Ireland and played in eight of their 10 qualifying games for Euro 2016, but missed out on their squad for the finals through injury after rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in March. He is in France as a pundit for BBC Sport. The Northern Ireland dressing room is normally a noisy place to be around but it was very quiet after  our defeat by Poland at Stade de Nice on Sunday. Everyone was totally deflated. It felt like a massive anti-climax after all the build-up to Euro 2016 because the boys were so disappointed, not just because we lost but with the way we played.
