By Braden Chalker US men's national team boss Gregg Berhalter was full of praise for Gio Reyna after the Nottingham Forest player came off the bench to provide two assists to propel the Stars and Stripes to victory over Jamaica. For most of the game, Berhalter's side lacked any cutting edge to break down what was essentially Jamaica's B-team as they were without the likes of Leon Bailey, Michail Antonio and Demarai Gray. A goal within the first minute for the Reggae Boyz allowed them sit in deep and soak up pressure which forced Berhalter to bring on the US' most creative player in Reyna at th...

Jamaican poet Jason Allen-Paisant has won the prestigious T.S. Eliot Prize for poetry, for his second collection of poems, ‘Self-Portrait As Othello.’ The book reimagines Shakespeare’s dark-skinned hero in a modern landscape, examining what Allen-Paisant calls “the missing backstory of Othello” and drawing parallels to the lives of Black male immigrants in Europe today. “For many, many years I’ve been struck by how the play (‘Othello’) fails to imagine, shall we say, all that there could be to a character like Othello,” he explained after being shortlisted for the prize. “If Othello was a fore...

Lashana Lynch wants to see more women leading film franchises. The 33-year-old actress - who stars in the new Bond film 'No Time to Die' - would prefer to see women lead their own film franchises, rather than simply have an actress replace Daniel Craig as the next 007. Lashana - who also starred in 2019's 'Captain Marvel' - shared: "If we constantly say, ‘Woman, you are now taking over a man’s role’ instead of establishing our own rightful position in this space then we are not doing right by our sex. "And we’re teaching our young girls that we can only be a replacement, that we are not good e...
