Sergiño Dest and PSV just learned about the values of patience.
The U.S. men’s national team fullback has joined the Dutch champions on a free transfer, with Barcelona letting the 23-year-old walk now rather than letting him leave as a free agent next year.
Barça will, however, receive an unspecified percentage of any transfer fee PSV might get for Dest — who signed a four-year deal on Saturday — down the road.
“To start with, PSV believes in me and I am greatly appreciated here,” said Dest in a club release announcing the deal. “I have come to know the club as incredibly...

The two best teams at EURO 2024 so far collide in the quarterfinals in Stuttgart on Friday, as hosts Germany square off with red-hot Spain. Spain won all three of their group stage games and brushed aside Georgia in the last 16 (despite an early scare) as Luis de la Fuente’s free-flowing side are brave, relentless and create so many chances. Youngsters Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams and Pedri are the attacking heartbeat of this side, while Rodri knits everything together in midfield. Spain will take some beating and their only Achilles heel appears to be defending counters as they throw so many players forward.

There’s also the potential for so many storylines, with his birthday the day before the final itself.Then there’s the fact he plays for Barcelona - all this before we even approach the subject of his quality, which is clearly off the charts.But while he gives Spain traits they’ve been desperate for over the last few years and tournaments - guile around the box, balance...

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
