The Gaurs lost their last game against Hyderabad FC. Hence, this will serve as a must-win encounter for Carlos Pena’s men, who have won their first two games of the 2022-23 season. Their match against the Nizams was closely contested as the Gaurs fell behind through a Javier Siverio goal. However, Pena’s men had the golden opportunity to grab an equalizer after Alvaro Vasquez was fouled inside the box. The Spaniard opted to take the penalty but missed the target....

Some individuals stood out from the pack with their impactful performances. East Bengal’s Cleiton Silva grabbed the headlines for scoring against his former club Bengaluru FC, while Bipin Singh made a significant contribution in Mumbai City FC’s 6-2 drubbing of Chennaiyin FC. On that note, let’s have a look at Team of the Week for Matchweek six of ISL 2022-23. *Formation used: 4-4-2 Goalkeeper: Mirshad Michu - NorthEast United FC It’s highly unlikely that a player from a team who has slumped to a sixth straight defeat will feature in Team of the Week....

The latest unrest comes just two days after a previous round of rocket fire from Lebanon toward Israel that was left unclaimed and answered by Israeli artillery and rare airstrikes against its northern neighbor on Wednesday. A day later, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard commander Major General Hossein Salami responded to recent threats by Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz, who warned the IDF was “ready to attack” Iran and recommended military action, and Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, who said Israel could “act alone” against Iran, which would pay “the price” for its actions across the region....

A former kickboxing star, Adesanya made his MMA debut in 2012. He joined the UFC in 2018 and has gone 11-1 with the promotion. In 2019, Adesanya beat Kelvin Gastelum to win the interim UFC middleweight title. A few months later, “The Last Stylebender” beat Robert Whittaker to become the one true middleweight champion. Adesanya has defended the title four times, his last bout being a unanimous decision win against the former champion in Whittaker at UFC 271....

CENTCOM got its name because the Middle East is literally located in the middle of everything. Israel is the most central point in that centrally located region, sharing as it does a maritime boundary with a European country (Cyprus) and a border with an African country (Egypt), as well as boasting Asian neighbors such as Jordan. In the wake of the Abraham Accords and the resultant burgeoning economic and cultural ties among the signatories, the timing is now ideal to develop a similar regional security relationship....

Netanyahu’s office said the leader and several close aides would be placed in temporary quarantine after his adviser on parliamentary affairs tested positive for COVID-19, according to the Agence France-Presse, Associated Press and other news outlets. Netanyahu, already his country’s longest-standing prime minister, was set to lead for at least another 18 months before temporarily handing power to his recent election rival, Benny Gantz, for another year and a half as part of an anticipated rotating unity deal....

As an Israeli, I was dumbfounded by these statements. Don’t get me wrong; I oppose violence in all its forms, no matter who the instigators are. But I was surprised that these American officials were so riled up about a real estate dispute on the other side of the world. I was shocked at how much they misrepresented the situation in Sheikh Jarrah, but was unsurprised by their shared narrative: that there is only one party at fault, and that villain is the State of Israel....

But swatting back blistering shots was only part of her work. After the U.S. win, their goalkeeper also provided the best postgame analysis about what the team must do next.

“We’ve taken some soundings,” he said. “There’s a sympathy for Turkey and it feels like they are the front-runners.” “We get the politics around Istanbul, having not got the Olympics,” added Horne. UEFA will be phasing the event across 13 cities and have said that 32 countries have shown their interest in hosting the games. Michael Platini had earlier said that he would back Istanbul if they fail their Olympic bid, which they eventually did to Tokyo....

The four-time major winner, who lifted the Claret Jug in 2014, is priced a little longer than some of his traditional rivals, including the likes of Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson and Sergio Garcia. McIlroy’s underwhelming form leading up to golf’s oldest major has pushed him out to a price that he feels is well worth a punt. When his odds of winning were put to him at his media conference on Wednesday, the 28-year-old said: “Good time to back me, I think....

The retiring bowler collected his 300th Test wicket earlier in the series and was able to play a part as a comprehensive 492-run victory was sealed in Johannesburg. And Morkel is delighted that he was able to end his career with a momentous triumph, hailing an “unbelievable” experience. “It’s tough to put into words,” said Morkel, whose 86 Tests yielded 309 wickets at 27.66. “I’m obviously very emotional. It’s been a great journey....

“It’s my own decision. The match on Nov 1 is in Delhi. There’s no bigger thing than to retire in your hometown. When I was selected for this series, I informed Virat (Kohli) and coach (Ravi) Shastri that I think Bhuvi (Bhuvneshwar Kumar) and (Jasprit) Bumrah are doing really well. And that this is the right time for me to go,” Nehra said, while addressing a press conference a day before the third T20I in Hyderabad....

— On June 10, 1905, Class A Indianapolis was handed a forfeit win when Milwaukee pitcher Jack Hickey and catcher Roland Wolfe “plotted to hit the umpire with the ball,” according to the “Encyclopedia of Minor League Baseball.” MORE: Epic baseball umpire arguments | Violence against officials commonplace — Former Mets catcher Jason Phillips told a Single-A teammate to drill an umpire with a pitch in 1999.

For comparison, imagine if Ratko Mladić, who massacred more than 8000 Muslim Bosniaks in Srebrenica was today appointed as Judiciary Chief of Bosnia. In Iran, Ebrahim Raisi who sat on the Death Commissions that carried out the 1988 massacre of more than 30,000 political prisoners is today the country’s Judiciary Chief. The 1988 Death Commissions, whose members also include Iran’s current Minister of Justice, were established across the country following a fatwa by the Supreme Leader....

It was also confirmed that Battlefield 2042 will be a live service game featuring a seasonal update structure complete with a battle pass. Obviously, this monetization structure has been made quite popular in recent years with some of the biggest AAA games available adopting it to fund development and help keep player bases engaged with games for many years. While some have raised concerns about the games industry trying to support too many live service titles, and some fans of the series are concerned about Battlefield 2042 going that route, it could actually end up being a very good thing for the game and the franchise as a whole....

Once it became both cheaper and easier to get content delivered digitally however, rental stores had no real advantage over their competition and began to report huge profit loses. A similar situation ocurred a few years ago, when the newspaper and magazine industry started losing subscriptions after most people realized online websites (like Game Rant!) could provide content much faster and without cost (we’re sorry, New York Times.) As of this week, the former giant of the rental industry will be closing its franchise doors for good in the United Kingdom, prompting the end of a long and struggling era....

Rajkot, Oct 3 (PTI) Teenage prodigy Prithvi Shaw is set to open alongside KL Rahul in the first Test against the West Indies after India on Wednesday started the practice of naming their final 12 before the start of every game. The move of naming the final 12 ahead of the game has more or less settled the debate on the playing eleven. Shaw, who earned a maiden call-up midway into the England tour but did not get a game, has been preferred over Mayank Agarwal for the series opener....

Take a good look at that verb, fellow voters, and consider what the meaning of “ain’t” ain’t. It ain’t good English, of course, and it ain’t necessarily an entirely natural locution for a graduate of Andover and Yale, even by way of west Texas. What it is is a marker for the most important issue of this election. Relaxed, a little irreverent, down-home: that “ain’t” is supposed to communicate a whole tractor load of material about the Bush personality....
