Many international footballers from across the globe feature in this league along with the local footballers which not only helps in providing exposure to the young players but also helps in improving their skills and learning from the very best footballers on the planet. The previous edition of the ISL was a dream for Bengaluru FC who won their first title. With the unrelenting support of the West Block Blues and the team strengthening itself in the off-season, Bengaluru FC are odds on favourites on Betway to win the title....

KBFC’s sporting director Karolis Skinkys gave an update on the player’s injury. He said: Sergio Cidoncha joined the Indian top-tier league way back in 2018. He joined Jamshedpur FC and played 12 games for them during the 2018-19 season, and found the net thrice. The 30-year-old player then made a move to Kerala Blasters FC and is currently with the club for the second consecutive season. The Spanish player was appointed the captain ahead of the ongoing season of the ISL....

FC Goa dominated the ball in the first few minutes and they didn’t need to wait long for the first opportunity. An inviting free-kick from Brandon Fernandes was met by a cracking header from James Donachie. However, Debjit Majumder came up with a diving save. If the ball had gone in, SC East Bengal would have been really disappointed as Donachie was way off-side. With Robbie Fowler reverting to a five-man backline for this match, SC East Bengal were pretty compact except during a few set-pieces....

Goalkeeper Karanjit Singh: The Chennaiyin FC shot stopper has been in fine form helping Chennaiyin FC register one of the best defensive records of ISL 2017/18. With FC Pune City missing Marcelinho, Karanjit has a good chance of extending his clean sheet count. Defenders Henrique Sereno: Sereno has already scored once and also assisted one goal. The Chennaiyin captain’s aerial prowess means he is also a threat in the opposition box and can contribute both defensively and in set piece situations....

The Blues had finished top of the table after the league phase of the ISL, eight points clear of second-placed Chennaiyin FC. But the ISL format involves a semifinal playoff between the top-four teams, following which a final determines the champions. Albert Roca stated that it was not for him to judge whether the structure of the tournament needs to be changed to reward the teams which finish top of the league....

This nasty turn on social media brought responses from appropriate sources, including the FBI. Islanders security officials are working with law enforcement officials to negate the threat, which reached new lows this week.

Many Israelis believe their best hope lies in strengthening secular Palestinian leaders like President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad. If life improves for Palestinians in the West Bank, the thinking goes, the territory can be used as a model for the Gazans who remain isolated under Hamas rule. The Israeli government freed 255 Palestinian prisoners as a good-will gesture last week, and Abbas said he will soon hold new elections to put the strategy to the test....

Israeli Education Minister Rafi Peretz, who previously served as the military’s chief rabbi and was appointed last month to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet, said that “assimilation is like the Holocaust” during a July 1 cabinet, a spokesperson Tuesday confirmed to the Associated Press. Citing three unnamed people in the room for last week’s meeting, Axios quoted Peretz as saying Jews in the United States marrying outside their religion was “like a second Holocaust....

Bennett argued that Tehran has already made advancements in its uranium enrichment, and relieving sanctions would only give Iran more resources to support Israel’s enemies in the region. “These very days illustrate what the world would look like if a radical Islamic regime acquired a nuclear weapon,” Bennett said. “That marriage would be a nuclear nightmare for the entire world.” Biden has said he wants to find a way to re-enter the pact negotiated by the Obama administration, but indirect talks between the U....

The Brazil forward scored a penalty and a free-kick either side of goals from Tomas Soucek and Michail Antonio in Wednesday’s Premier League clash, but it was not enough for Chelsea. Andriy Yarmolenko snatched a late winner for West Ham at London Stadium on Wednesday, denying their opponents the chance to overtake Leicester City in third. Willian, who is due to become a free agent at the end of the elongated campaign, admitted the defeat - Chelsea’s first in seven matches in all competitions - was tough to take....

The result meant that the defending champions MI were knocked out of the tournament. Rohit said,”We batted well till the 15th-16th over. 170 was a good enough, target. We would have liked some more but we really played well and I have a lot of pride in this side and how long we’ve come in this tournament. This just wasn’t our day. We showed a lot of character after losing the first five games....

It’s a big moment for Israel. Netanyahu has managed to hold onto Israel’s premiership for 12 interminable years, despite recently standing trial in three cases corruption. And they have been consequential ones: Throughout his years in office, Netanyahu weakened Israel’s judiciary and stigmatized its left-wing and human rights advocates while empowering the far right and even legitimizing supremacist groups like Otzma Yehudit in a desperate bid to cling to power....

They aren’t even allowed to meet or talk to each other, not go out and train even for an hour a day (remember the men’s team was at least allowed to train during quarantine), the players have been given some dumbbells and some barbells in the room to do some basic exercise. This is where some form of uniformity needs to be established the world over. If the Tokyo Olympics can be conducted with athletes being allowed to train in the first week itself with regular RTPCR Testing, such draconian norms like what is being followed in Australia makes very little sense....

It takes only a few pages for Mosley to capture the anger and violence of the ’60s, and he does it from the point of view of an African-American man who wants no part of radicalism and even less to do with the white power structure that throws the police at the slightest sign of unrest. The remarkable thing about this scene, though, is that it takes place not in some ambitious social novel about racial violence but in a detective story....

The game, which will serve as one of the national semifinals this season in the first year of the College Football Playoff, will be known as the Rose Bowl presented by Northwestern Mutual.

And just like that, as quickly as going into his dab, it was gone on Sunday night. The Panthers’ quarterback didn’t have much to celebrate in a 24-10 loss dominated by Denver’s defense. Carolina’s No. 1 offense was shut down, and Newton had his ugliest game of the season. He was only 18-of-41 passing for 265 yards, and committed three turnovers under the pressure of a seven-sack attack fueled by game MVP Von Miller....

In a recent speech in Washington, D.C., Trump not only hinted he was ready to run again but asserted that by doing so he would save the party and help the American people. “You still need somebody in the White House,” he told the crowd. “You need help—and I think that help will be forthcoming.” Of course, while Trump was in office many of his policies and decisions did help the conservative cause....

Not the people — Jim Corsi and Matt Fenwick, thankfully, are very much alive. The NHL, after co-opting the puck-possession stats that have borne their name for the last several years, are going in a different, more descriptive direction. When the league’s expanded stats package roles out in a couple days, Corsi will be “shot attempts,” and Fenwick “unblocked shot attempts.” PDO, named after the internet commenter that came up with it, will be something like “shooting percentage + save percentage....
