End of an era as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo 'don’t feature' in EA Sports FC 24’s top 10 players
End of an era as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo 'don’t feature' in EA Sports FC 24’s top 10 players
FIFA players could be witnessing the end of an era, after both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi reportedly missed out on a spot in the top 10 best players list in the new game. The upcoming instalment, which is the first of the franchise to ditch FIFA from the title and will go by the title EA Sports FC 24, is set to be released next month. However, details from the game and the updated squads have reportedly already been leaked and they may come as a surprise to some fans. According to SportBible, neither Ronaldo or Messi rank among the best players in the new game. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter They might be approaching the ends of their careers now, but it’s still a surprise to see the pair who have dominated the top echelons of professional football for the past two decades drop down the rankings. Instead, the top 10 player ratings reportedly see a number of both male and female players tied on the rating of 91. Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne, Kylian Mbappe, Alexia Putellas and Sam Kerr are all tied as the best players in the game. Elsewhere, Wendie Renard, Karim Benzema, Caroline Graham Hansen, Alex Morgan and Robert Lewandowski are tied with a rating of 90. That completes the top 10, with Ronaldo and Messi said to have respective ratings of 83 and 88. For players of the game who have perhaps grown up with them dominating the ratings in the game, it’s a pretty major change. The upcoming game will see a number of new features introduced, including brand new commentators and an Ultimate Team featuring female players. Have your say in our news democracy.

Trends come and go, and they open up opportunities to experiment with our personal styles, but we always know which silhouettes complement our body shapes best and make us feel confident. And wide-leg jeans certainly make me feel the most confident. I personally enjoy a high-waisted and cropped wide-leg style that enhances my curves and gives my legs breathing room. But there are so many other wide-leg jean options to choose between.

Sean Dyche knows process to revive Everton will take time after another win
Sean Dyche knows process to revive Everton will take time after another win
Sean Dyche insists Everton cannot rush their recovery after the Toffees’ impressive Carabao Cup win at Aston Villa. James Garner and Dominic Calvert-Lewin fired the visitors into the fourth round – and a home tie with Burnley – following their 2-1 victory. Boubacar Kamara pulled a late goal back to spark a Villa rally but any comeback would have been undeserved for the awful hosts. Everton lost 4-0 at Villa Park in the Premier League just five weeks ago but have secured back-to-back wins for the first time in a year as their season splutters into life. Investment firm 777 Partners is also waiting for approval on its takeover and Dyche knows the process to revive the club takes time. “The story of Everton has been a two-to-three season story, the cloud hanging over it a little bit. The only people who can change that story is us,” he said, after four defeats from their opening five league games. “The team starts the process, bonding the club together, bonding the fans. You want that bond. “We want a strong connection with the fans, the rest I can’t control, but a strong connection is something we can get with the way the players go about their business. “We are trying to work with things on and off the pitch, there’s so much alignment which needs to be done from top to bottom. You can’t just fast track everything. The last couple of seasons have not been where Everton want to be. “Now it’s step-by-step, building a team which is more competitive and gets more wins. The rest of it takes care of itself.” Everton’s press unnerved Villa and earned them the opener after 15 minutes when they forced a mistake. Robin Olsen’s poor clearance under pressure landed for Amadou Onana on the edge of the area, with Calvert-Lewin and Arnaut Danjuma returning the ball. Onana slipped a clever pass through to Garner to smash in his first Toffees goal from 10 yards. Olsen stopped a comical John McGinn own goal and thwarted Calvert-Lewin but was powerless to stop the striker adding a second five minutes after the break. Youri Tielemans’ poor pass left Ezri Konsa short and Calvert-Lewin darted in to run through and beat Olsen. It was all the visitors deserved yet they needed Jordan Pickford to stop Moussa Diaby pulling a goal back immediately. Calvert-Lewin tested Olsen but Kamara gave Villa faint hope when his strike from the edge of the box deflected in off Michael Keane. Diaby and Douglas Luiz went close to forcing penalties but poor Villa slumped to their first home defeat since February. “It’s not (about being) tired,” said boss Unai Emery, who made five changes from Sunday’s 1-0 win at Chelsea which lifted Villa to sixth in the Premier League. “I don’t want to use all our effort with the players each match. We are trying to keep a balance with some different players but trying to be competitive. “We’re disappointed with the start and mistakes we made but we are trying to go forward and building the team. “We made the second mistake quickly (in the second half) and it was difficult to come back. “We have to move on quickly, try to recover the players for Saturday (against Brighton) because we need the best performance.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live Jurgen Klopp hails Dominik Szoboszlai after bright start to Liverpool career Mauricio Pochettino hopes Chelsea can build momentum after ending winless run Marco Silva knows Fulham need to start taking their chances

Muddling up wars, dozing off mid-event and a series of tumbles: Biden’s best gaffes
Muddling up wars, dozing off mid-event and a series of tumbles: Biden’s best gaffes
President Joe Biden is kicking off his first full day of his trip abroad this week with a visit to the UK where he will meet with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and King Charles III. The president landed in London on Sunday night ahead of Monday’s meeting with Mr Sunak, where the two leaders will discuss a range of topics including the war in Ukraine and will seek to bolster the US-UK “special relationship”. After that, he is heading to Windsor to meet the King – after infamously snubbing his coronation back in May. From there, the president will travel to Vilnius, Lithuania, for a meeting of NATO leaders. While Ukraine – and the US’s recent controversial decision to send cluster munitions to help in the war efforts – is expected to dominate conversations among the leaders, all eyes will also be on the president’s actions. Mr Biden has a well-documented history of embarrassing gaffes – something he admits, having once referred to himself as a “gaffe machine”. The president, 80, has a speech impediment which is often blamed for his verbal gaffes on the world stage. However, his string of verbal – and physical – slip-ups have been seized upon by his political rivals, in particular Donald Trump, who have sought to claim that they are a sign of a lack of mental competence. Whatever the reason, it’s undeniable that Mr Biden has become notorious for his blunders from muddling up leaders and wars to a series of trips and falls. As all eyes turn to his actions during his visit to the UK, here are some of his most notable gaffes to date: Muddling up the wars in Ukraine and Iraq In another infamous slip-up in June 2023, the president muddled up the ongoing war in Ukraine for the Iraq War, which ended in 2011. Mr Biden was speaking to reports on the south lawn of the White House before heading to Chicago when he was asked whether he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin had been weakened by the Wagner Group’s mutiny. Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin had briefly led a rebellion marching towards Moscow. Mr Biden responded by saying that Mr Putin was “clearly losing the war in Iraq”. “It’s hard to tell, but [Putin’s] clearly losing the war in Iraq, losing the war at home. And he has become a bit of a pariah around the world,” he said. ‘God save the Queen’ That same month, Mr Biden made another verbal gaffe when he bizarrely closed out a speech on gun control with the proclamation: “God save the Queen, man.” The president was speaking to a group of gun control advocates at the National Safer Communities Summit in Connecticut at the time. The slip-up raised eyebrows as to who he was referring to. Was it Queen Elizabeth II who died in September 2022? Or was it Queen Camilla who was crowned just one month earlier when King Charles III took the throne in a coronation that Mr Biden famously snubbed? The White House later sought to explain away the bizarre reference by saying that he was merely “commenting to someone in the crowd”. ‘Mr President?’ The last time Mr Biden and Mr Sunak met, the US president accidentally called him by his own moniker: “Mr President.” The UK PM travelled to Washington DC for a two-day trip in early June where the two leaders held a meeting in the Oval Office White House. As they smiled for photos, Mr Biden said: “Well, Mr President...” Quickly correcting himself, he added: “I just demoted you, Mr Prime Minister.” The two laughed off the slip-up and continued with their meeting. Biden tumbles on stage at Air Force Graduation Mr Biden took a rather large tumble while on stage at the Air Force Academy graduation ceremony in early June. The president delivered the commencement address at the event and stayed on stage as graduates were handed their diplomas. As he walked off, he then stumbled and fell to the ground. He was helped up by Air Force officials and appeared to point at a sandbag as the culprit responsible for the mishap. White House communications director Ben LaBolt later tweeted that he was “fine” and that “there was a sandbag on stage while he was shaking hands”. This is far from the only time Mr Biden has taken a tumble. Napping at COP26 In a video that went viral on social media, Mr Biden was caught sleeping on the job at the COP26 climate change conference in Scotland in November 2021. In the clip, the president was seen appearing to nap during the opening remarks at the climate event – with his eyes shut at one point for more than 20 seconds. An aide was seen popping over and nudging him from his apparent slumber.
