Champions League: Ajax and Benfica coaches spar over who is the favourite | Football News – Times of India

LISBON: Benfica interim coach Nelson Verissimo said on Tuesday that Ajax are "one of the best teams in Europe", but the Dutch side's manager Erik ten Hag responded that "favourite does not matter" ahead of the two sides' Champions League last-16 first leg.

"We are going to face an opponent with a lot of quality," said Verissimo, who took over at Benfica until the end of the season when Jorge Jesus was sacked in December. "Ajax are currently one of the best teams in Europe. They have strengths,...

GOP senator’s call for all Americans to pay income tax sparks criticism from White House

"I'll warn you; this plan is not for the faint of heart," Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, writes in the introduction to his 11-point plan, which he said he hoped would "strike fear in the heart of some Republicans." Among the most attention-grabbing of his proposals in the memo, which says it was paid for by his campaign and not the NRSC, is completing Donald Trump's border wall and naming it after the former President, as well as calling for all Americans to pay an income tax "even if a small amount."White House press secretary Jen Psaki seized on the latter proposal, tweeting Tuesday that Scott and "Senate Republicans just released an economic plan that doesn't include a single proposal to lower prices for the middle class," a...
