When Orlando Bloom attended the wedding of Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos following his public split with Katy Perry, he looked happy and content with his new life as a single man. But it seems there may still be a few scores to settle if his latest social media comment is anything to go by.

Recently, Katy, 40, has been romantically linked to Canadian politician Justin Trudeau after they were seen enjoying dinner following her concert in Montreal. US media outlet TMZ posted a number of pictures of Katy and Justin at Le Violon restaurant last week and two days later, fans then saw him having the time of his life at her concert at the Bell Centre, as part of her Lifetimes tour.

The politician’s fan also made fun of the politician by saying that he “couldn’t keep his hands off.” Orlando then responded with three hand clap emojis in the form of a response.

Messi Exits Early With Injury In Miami’s Leagues Cup Win

In the 11th minute of Inter Miami’s Leagues Cup penalty kick victory over Mexico’s Necaxa on Saturday at Fort Lauderdale’s Chase Stadium, Lionel Messi suffered an injury and was taken off.

Before making his way out of the locker room under his power and entering the locker room, the 38-year-old Argentine superstar appeared to be receiving treatment for his upper right leg or groin.

However, Miami coach Javier Mascherano predicted it would be Sunday before the exact nature of the injury and the setback’s severity would be known following a 5-4 victory in penalties after a 2-2 draw.

After the game, Mascherano said, “Well, he felt a discomfort, and we won’t be able to determine how severe the injury is,” Mascherano said.

“There is probably something there,” the statement read. He was not in pain, so perhaps not as significant. But he did experience a pull.

After the 10-man teams played to a 2-2 draw at full time, Inter Miami prevailed 5-4 on penalties.

In the third round of the shootout, Rodrigo De Paul, Ben Cremaschi, Jordi Alba, Redondo, and Luis Suarez hit penalties for Miami, with Uruguayan striker Suarez receiving the decisive penalty kick.

Telasco Segovia of Inter Miami, a midfielder from Venezuela, scored in the 12th minute, but Herons defender Maximiliano Falcon of Uruguay received a red card in the 17th minute.

Necaxa was reduced to 10 men as a result of Cristian Calderon’s red card in the 60th minute, and Badaloni scored the equalizer in the 33rd minute to give the visitors a half-time lead.

Ricardo Monreal scored in the 81st minute after leaving the Necaxa bench, but only Alba from Spain equalized for Miami in stoppage time in the second minute.

Messi was nagged by thigh strain issues during the Argentine World Cup qualifiers in March.

In his 18 MLS appearances this year, Messi has scored 18 goals and provided nine assists.

In their opening game of the Leagues Cup, an MLS and Mexican League squad had two goals scored by him in a 2-1 victory over Atlas on Wednesday.

On Wednesday when Miami plays Pumas, the group stage will be over.

Farrell in ‘really good place’ to lead Lions again

JavaScript must be enabled in your browser to play this video.

According to Lions bosses, Andy Farrell has positioned himself well in 2029 to take over the British and Irish Lions in New Zealand.

After being defeated 22-12 by the Wallabies in Sydney on Saturday, Farrell guided the Lions to a 2-1 series victory over Australia.

When the Lions’ next head coach is chosen, according to chief executive Ben Calveley, the Lions will consider Farrell’s proven track record when selecting their next series opener against the All Blacks in four years.

According to Calveley, “He’s put himself in a really good position.”

“You would always take someone’s track record into account, and you can’t beat him, especially when you consider that Andy has two previous Lions tours as part of the coaching ticket [in 2013 and 2017 as an assistant].”

However, we’ll conduct a thorough and robust process and see how it goes.

When Farrell was questioned about the possibility of retaking control in 2029, he said he had a strong affinity for the idea.

Following the series, he declared, “I love everything the Lions is about and I have thoroughly enjoyed the last eight weeks.”

“Four years is a long time between drinks,”

After taking a sabbatical from the post to lead the Lions, the Englishman is expected to return to his post as head coach of Ireland for their autumn Test matches.

Possible tour revamp – Calveley

Calveley claims that there are no plans to leave Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa as traditional tourist destinations.

He acknowledged that the Lions could face foreign competition before the Test series, which would have bolstered the tour matches, which were largely underwhelming in Australia.

At this time, “We are not looking to make any changes] to Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand,” Caveley said.

Through the various stages of the tour, in my opinion, can we establish new relationships with foreign nations.

“We look at it in three ways: the pre-tour piece, the Argentina game in Dublin, the tour matches, and the Test matches themselves,” he said.

In that pre-tour piece, we could continue to play against intriguing new foes.

You might be able to do some of that on tour, so you might want to take a Japan or Fiji for some of those non-Test matches. The Test series is then left alone.
