Soccer-Southgate hopes to deliver in what could be his final tournament with England
If Gareth Southgate is feeling the pressure of delivering England's first European Championship in what many have speculated could be his final major tournament in charge, the 53-year-old manager is not showing it. The Three Lions play Serbia on Sunday in Gelsenkirchen in a Euro 2024 that could be a defining moment of Southgate's career. "I'm probably more relaxed about it because I have had previous experience of three before this one," said Southgate, who coached England at a pair of World Cups either side of the 2020 Euros, where England lost to Italy in the final, and played in the 1996 and 2000 Euros.

Noted Japanese author Haruki Murakami is happy with first animated adaptation of his short stories
Renowned Japanese author Haruki Murakami expressed joy with how several of his short stories were adapted in American director Pierre Földes' animated film “Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman", adding he wanted to see future interpretations of his work with filmmakers’ own spin. It is the first animated adaptation of Murakami's work. After screening the film Saturday at his alma mater Waseda University in Tokyo, Murakami — joining Földes at a talk session — admitted that while he wasn't a fan of animated films, he watched it twice.
