That’s Jones, front and center, doing LeBron’s signature chalk toss while his groomsmen line up in an assortment of James’ jerseys from his first stint with the Cavaliers and SVSM.

Marcelo Bielsa’s men looked like having nothing to show for a dominant first half until Tommy Smith scythed through Helder Costa to give away a 45th-minute penalty that Mateusz Klich converted. Costa latched on to Stuart Dallas’ fine throughball to double the advantage two minutes into the second half and Liam Cooper opened his body to brilliantly finish a cutback from substitute Pablo Hernandez before the hour.

That’s the view trumpeted these days in some of Europe’s more conservative circles. But forget it. Left, right, up, down–it’s all been said before. Sure, the heyday of the left may be waning, as the righties say. The tide of social democracy may be ebbing, even if only a bit. And yes, as elections draw near in half a dozen key countries, the European right is everywhere resurgent. In Germany, conservative parties have rallied around a dynamic new leader, Edmund Stoiber, who, by attacking economic policies of the ruling Social Democrats, has taken a surprising lead in political-opinion polls....

LEGO Builder’s Journey breaks from the LEGO formula in more ways than one. The franchise is known for taking some of the biggest licensed properties and turning them into family-friendly collect-a-thons, with development teams that fall in the same range as most AAA games.
