Juuse Saros made 29 saves for his third shutout of the season and Ryan Johansen scored a short-handed goal as the Nashville Predators beat the Wild 1-0 Monday night. With 1:30 to play and an extra skater on the ice, Donato found himself 1-on-1 with Saros in the left faceoff circle. His wrist shot beat the goalie but hit the crossbar, leaving Donato inches from scoring the game-tying goal....
While the league leaders took an early lead thanks to Sami Khedira’s brilliant goal, Marek Hamsik levelled for the hosts and Napoli created the better chances to go on and win the game. The draw means Napoli are 10 points behind the defending champions, while they are only four points ahead of fourth-placed Lazio in the race for Champions League places, but Sarri was happy with his side’s display....
Chelsea, the 2017 Premier League champion, later announced that Gianfranco Zola has returned to the club as an assistant to Sarri. Former Italy international Zola made more than 300 appearances and scored 80 goals for the Blues between 1996 and 2003. Sarri and Zola face the immediate task of keeping Hazard at Stamford Bridge. Hazard said at the World Cup in Russia that “it might be time to discover something different” after spending the last six years with Chelsea, which failed to qualify for this season’s Champions League....
But then, the various sports fraternities believe that they have found a solution to the issue – combine sports with Bollywood and serve the passionate Indian audience an unprecedented amount of entertainment. Well, it worked for cricket, didn’t it? Remember IPL, how every year it enables us to see a bevy of movie stars hooting and cheering and cricketer smashing fours and sixes simultaneously. Many experts feel that IPL is the root cause of the poor performance of the test team but who gives a hoot?...
On December 8, TikTok user and self-proclaimed treasure hunter @pioneerpauly posted a clip of his friend and fellow crystal hunter Bryan Major, also known as @thecrystalcollector. Filmed at Avant Mining in Blue Springs, Arkansas, the group managed to find and pull a pair of large quartz from clay. For many viewers, the satisfying process has shown them for the first time how crystals can be mined. “Pulling out a pair of crystals out of the clay!...
The quirky aesthetic of the console fits a lot of gear into a relatively small package, taller than the Xbox One but not as wide. The Xbox Series X will have a custom GPU sourced from AMD, as well as an eight-core CPU and 16GB memory system built by Microsoft called the Xbox Velocity Architecture, which is designed to give both players and developers more flexibility in how to interact with the games installed on the console....
Saudi Minister of State Adel al-Jubeir, who was demoted from foreign affairs minister amid international outrage over the November 2018 Khashoggi allegations of murder, touted the Middle East kingdom’s attractiveness to foreign business as proof officials that did not order the killing. “If Saudi Arabia was so bad nobody would come,” Jubeir told Germany’s Deutsche Welle over the weekend. Jubeir rejected a wide swath of reports from the United Nations, the CIA and human rights groups which placed culpability for the murder squarely on Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman....
Yes, apparently there is a notice on the cartridge of Mercenaries 3D that says that saved files on the game cannot be reset. This is a problem if you buy the game used, as you’ll be stuck playing someone else’s game data, with all of the content unlocked for you, virtually defeating the purpose of playing the game to begin with. Naturally, because this pretty much defeats the purpose of buying the game used, many have theorized that that is the reason behind inputting the feature, rather than having the traditional, deletable save files that almost every other game in existence has....
What exactly are these valiant crusaders saving me from? I hear the words “immorality” and “obscenity” tossed around, but I still don’t get what they mean. To the censors, “immorality” covers any belief that differs from theirs. “Obscenity” seems to be anything that hints at sexual pleasure, as sex is strictly for reproductive purposes. “Pornography” is the target of the crusaders. No one can define that, either. I’m not the only one who’s confused....
That came four years later, when the Pakistan President Zia-ul-Haq landed in India as part of his “Cricket for Peace” programme. Though that match ended in a rain-affected – and also a controversial – draw, further honours for the stadium arrived when it hosted matches of the 1987 and the 1996 World Cups. In 2006, it went through a massive renovation pioneered by the Rajasthan Cricket Association head, Lalit Modi....
Debjit Majumder kept East Bengal in the game with eight saves, but they should’ve taken the lead in the first half, when both Fox and Aaron Amadi-Holloway missed sitters. Eventually, the opener for East Bengal came through Bright Enobakhare, who picked the ball up in midfield and dribbled through a host of Goa defenders, before slotting it past Nawaz in the 79th minute. However, that lead didn’t last even two minutes, as Devendra Murgaonkar headed home Saviour Gama’s cross to equalise in the 81st....
Jonathas de Jesus and Javi Hernandez scored a goal apiece from each other’s assists for the Juggernauts, while Antonio Perosevic found the net for the Red and Gold Brigade. The match began with a good tempo as Odisha FC looked to press high in a bid to win the ball off SC East Bengal. Aridai Cabrera, in particular, looked bright and even managed to hit the roof of the net with a cross-turned-chip from the left within the first minute....
Argentina will open next year’s tournament against Chile at El Monumental on June 12, it was revealed on Tuesday. Scaloni hopes 32-year-old Messi, who will again be aiming to win his first senior international trophy, plays beyond the 2020 Copa. “I don’t know if it will be the last. Hopefully not,” the Argentina coach told reporters. “But Argentina need the title, more than just him. Hopefully, don’t promise anything, but we’ll give the maximum to reach the final....
Doctor Stange in the Multiverse of Madness is set in the same universe as the recently released Disney and Marvel Studios projects. The film is supposedly going to deal with the ramifications of the multiverse concept in Spider-Man No Way Home. Many anticipate that this is how Marvel will be bringing in the often requested X-Men and Fantastic Four. RELATED: New Ms. Marvel TV Spot Includes More Footage With Kamala Khan...
The Gelsenkirchen-based soccer team has welcomed Tönnies’ decision to “resume in the same position” after three months. It says on the club website that allegations of racism are “unsubstantiated” but “allegations of having violated club policy and … non-discrimination principles are justified.” Tönnies told a public meeting in Paderborn on Aug. 1 that tax increases to fight climate change were wrong and claimed it was better to finance 20 power plants a year in Africa....
Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft were victims of this new internet culture as much as they were of their own actions. Is this ball-tampering worse than previous instances of the same offence The aforementioned Australian trio conspired to commit ball-tampering, an offence that was not born during the 3rd South Africa vs Australia Test. Ball tampering has long existed in the game and one that has always been placed under the ’naughty’ rather than the ‘heinous’ column of rule breaches, and the punishment for it has always been nothing more than a slap on the wrist of the offender....
Rosell said: “Before August 31 I can say that there will be a further addition to the team. “But, it is not always that you can sign the players you intend to, because clubs do not want to sell.” He said that the club would provide all the help that they could to ensure ex-coach Tito Vilanova’s safe recovery. He added: “It was a very tough season and a little said for having to end our time with Tito....
Sanheim assisted on Oskar Lindblom’s tying goal with 9:24 left in the third period, then beat Tuukka Rask with a long wrist shot in the final seconds of a power play after Brad Marchand was sent off for tripping. Claude Giroux also scored for Philadelphia, and Jakub Voracek had two assists. Carter Hart made 23 saves for the resurgent Flyers. They have won seven of eight to improve to 22-23-6 and took the season series against the Bruins 2-1....
