The post U.S. Men’s Soccer Team Gets Timely Image Enhancement In Documentaries appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Christian Pulisic argues with referee Kevin Ortega during the Copa America 2024 match between the United States and Uruguay. Getty Images The U.S. audience loves a good underdog. The 1980 “Miracle on Ice” hockey team. Lower seeds in the NCAA Tournament. Buster Douglas vs. Mike Tyson. Two documentary series pegged to the upcoming men’s soccer World Cup posit the U.S. team, if not the U.S. soccer community as a whole, as Rocky Balboa vs. Clubber Lang and Ivan Drago put together. Perhaps this depiction seems obvious, but this is a team whose image has taken a battering over the last few years. Viewed in the moment, this team hasn’t lived up to its “Golden Generation” hype, showing more talent than preceding generations but not as much heart. “You are a soccer generation that has been given everything,” Alexi Lalas said in a memorable rant during the team’s ill-fated World Cu

The post Indiana Pacers Preparing For NBA Draft Via Workouts, Even Without Pick appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

(Photo by Mike Stobe/Getty Images) Getty Images INDIANAPOLIS – As May approaches its conclusion, NBA teams are finalizing their pre-draft preparation ahead of the 2026 NBA Draft. For the Indiana Pacers, the last steps of that process are unique. That’s because the Pacers, thanks to a 2021 trade that sent away their 2026 second-round draft pick and a February move in which they dealt their 2026 first rounder, are one of just two teams (Portland Trail Blazers) that don’t have any selections in the 2026 draft. Indiana could have owned a selection inside the top four had the draft lottery gone a different way, but the franchise didn’t get

The post Barcelona Want Bernardo Silva But There Are Sticking Points appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bernardo Silva could sign for FC Barcelona but there are some caveats in the potential deal. Getty Images FC Barcelona likes the idea of signing Bernardo Silva from Manchester City on a free transfer, but there are some sticking points to be ironed out before the deal can go ahead. Silva has been linked to Barça in the past, but his reported €50 million price tag during times of trying to return to the 1:1 rule under Financial Fair Play (FFP) limits in the summer windows of 2022 and 2023 got in the way. Three or four years on, the landscape has changed. Bernardo will leave Manchester City on a free transfer after it expires on June 30, and he’s again being matched with a potential move to the Catalans or Atletico Madrid. Barça fancy the idea of signing Silva according to Mundo Deportivo, and the Portuguese international is eager to sign on the dotted line to don Blaugrana. As of ye

The post Kanye West’s Turkey Show Draws 118,000 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline Kanye West performed to a stadium crowd of more than 100,000 fans in Turkey on Saturday, his first performance in Europe in more than a decade, as the rapper attempts a comeback following immense backlash to his long history of virulent antisemitic remarks, which derailed his career. West’s performance was his first in Europe in more than a decade. AFP via Getty Images Key Facts West performed inside Istanbul’s Ataturk Olympic Stadium for roughly two hours to about 118,000 fans on Saturday, the Turkish state-run Anadolu Agency reported, marking West’s first appearance in Europe since 2014 (the concert was also livestreamed on YouTube). Rapper Travis Scott reportedly joined West on stage during the event. His concert follows the cancellation of a tour stop in Marseille, France, in April after Marseille Mayor Benoît Payan refused to have the city serve as a “showcase for those who promote hatred

The post Why The Case For Sourcing From Africa Has Never Been Stronger, And Still Gets Ignored appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Africa is growing incredibly fast, but most Western buyers overlook the continent (Photo by SEYLLOU / AFP) (Photo by SEYLLOU/AFP via Getty Images) AFP via Getty Images The exhibit hall at Cape Town’s Good Life Show smelled like rooibos, baobab, and something harder to name. Ambition, maybe. Africa’s largest natural food tradeshow drew hundreds of exhibitors this May: kombucha makers working with indigenous South African botanicals, macadamia milk brands operating carbon-negative factories, moringa farmers who started by feeding orphaned children porridge and built export-ready wellness companies. I spent two days interviewing founders. Not one of them had a lion in their backyard. That joke, and the fact that it still needs to be made, gets at the core of why American companies and retailers keep missing Africa. The continent that carries the richest biodi

The post Michael Jackson Defies The Odds And Sends Several Songs To New Peaks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Michael Jackson manages to defy Drake’s chart domination as two of his songs — “Billie Jean” and “Chicago” — climb while more than a dozen others fall. NEW YORK, NY – CIRCA 1984: Michael Jackson performing circa 1984 in New York City. (Photo by Robin Platzer/Images/Getty Images) Getty Images It’s a tough week for every artist on the Billboard charts not named Drake. The rapper recently released three albums, Iceman, Habibti and Maid of Honour, and dozens of songs featured on those full-lengths become hits across a variety of tallies. The hip-hop superstar breaks several records thanks to his surge of new music, and those cuts that don’t have his moniker attached that manage to hold on drop from where they sat last week, with only a very small number of hits either keeping steady, or, in the case of Michael Jackson, rising. The King of Pop – whom Drake references on the Ice

(Photo by Ahsan Mohammed Ahmed Ahmed/Anadolu via Getty Images) Anadolu via Getty Images The U.S.-Israel war with Iran, launched on February 28 and concluded with the fragile ceasefire that took effect on April 8, saw Iraqi Kurdistan endure an unprecedented number of Iranian and Iran-backed militia missile and drone attacks. While U.S. and British air defenses helped shield the autonomous region’s capital city, Erbil, the region’s critical lack of any independent air defenses once again became glaringly apparent. And it’s still unclear whether the region can even acquire air defenses for self-protection any time soon. The Pentagon’s latest Lead Inspector General report to Congress on Operation Inherent Resolve, the U.S.-led anti-

The post AI Is Great At Analyzing The Past. Venture Capital Bets On The Future appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. VCs betting on the next big shift Getty Images The venture capital world thrives on the notion that a handful of companies will reshape entire economies. Now the tools investors increasingly rely on to spot those companies may be working against them. Roughly three-quarters of venture capital firms now use AI to help evaluate deals. It’s faster and more thorough than anything that came before it, processing pitch decks, sizing up competitors and flagging risks. But there is a fundamental problem with this approach: AI is trained on the past, but startups that reshape industries rarely resemble the past. Bias Of The AI Analyst For decades, VC investing has followed a familiar ritual. A founder presents a pitch deck. Investors meet the team and run diligence. They invite advisors and industry experts to weigh in. Together they ponder whether this startup is the next Google,
