Chennaiyin FC stuck to their usual formation of 3-5-2 even though it has not worked in their favor before. The match against Mumbai City FC was no different. Bozidar Bandovic’s side were compact at the back because of their 5-man backline. However, the side looked blunt while attacking. The Islanders were not too different either. Des Buckingham’s men were more focused on protecting their goal than attacking their opponents....

Hume, whose 23 goals make him the all-time top scorer in the ISL’s short history, took to social media to hint at a move away from ATK for the 2017/18 ISL campaign. It is understood that with the change in ATK’s management structure and their split with parent club Atletico Madrid, Hume is no longer a target for the two-time ISL champions, whose new head coach Teddy Sheringham and technical director Ashley Westwood are eyeing other players, notably, former Republic of Ireland international Robbie Keane....

The team’s Fisherman/fishsticks jerseys are back, for 15 magical, seasickness-inducing minutes. Remember the 90s? Here’s the font (via Getty Images): The Isles wore those from 1995-97. People did not care for them — enough so that the team when the team reverted to its 80s-dynasty logo and a more normal color scheme, winger Steve Webb disrobed at center ice. From the Isles’ website: Time heals all wounds, though. We anxiously await the Ducks’ inevitable Wild Wing night....

With the Israeli and Lebanese prime ministers in New York last week, the American-mediated negotiations are reportedly in their final stages. The U.S.’s final proposal is expected by the end of the week, and the recipe for compromise is simple: Israel accepts all Lebanon’s territorial claims and redraws its borders. Under international law, countries have sovereignty of the seabed extending out from their shores, as well as its undersea resources....

The company announced Monday that it would stop selling ice cream in Israel’s occupied West Bank and contested east Jerusalem once its license agreement expires next year, claiming that it was “​inconsistent with our values for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream to be sold in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.” Erdan penned letters to the governors of the 35 states, asking them for “rapid and determined” action in response to “such discriminatory and antisemitic actions....

The Foxes earned a first Premier League win over Spurs at the King Power Stadium with Vardy setting the tone with a stunning lobbed finish on the stretch. Mahrez was not to be outdone and produced a ferocious finish from outside the area at the end of a fine solo run to double Leicester’s lead just before half-time, marking the first time since March he and Vardy scored in the same game....

When Patrick Soderlund, EA’s executive VP was questioned, he was prompt to admit that the gaming community has been complaining all too often. While he also admitted that a team had been deployed to tackle the same, we recall his confidence during the launch of the game. To tickle your memories, here is an excerpt of what the VP said about the launch, “Based on our pre-launch testing and beta performance, we were confident the game was ready when it was launched....

http://youtu.be/yTVYWN41LsA England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) tried an innovative gimmick to kick-start the inaugural season of their revamped domestic T20 competition, called Natwest T20 Blast on Friday. ECB, with the help of a few aeronautical engineers, launched the official match ball from Edgbaston Stadium, Birmingham, tied to a helium balloon. The ball reached a height of 33,000 metres (110,000 feet) in the stratosphere, still quite far from the Karman Line (at a distance of 100 kilometre from Earth’s sea level, it’s the commonly represented boundary between Earth and outer space), but probably the farthest any cricket ball has ever gone....

Not only is the old goal insufficient in terms of resources needed to bolster vulnerable regions around the world, but it’s also a goal that was never met in the last decade of international climate talks, goal setting and pavement-pounding. And it’s not because of lack of resources. To put that money in perspective, the U.S. was spending an average of $10 billion a month at the height of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq....

But the filibuster gun is still loaded, and now aimed directly at our right to vote. The Freedom to Vote Act—crucial legislation to protect our most basic democratic rights—is scheduled for a vote later today. Is there any way around the predictable Republican blockade? There is. Earlier this month, we saw what happens when President Joe Biden and Senate Democrats take a strong stand. On October 5, President Biden said “it’s a real possibility” that Democrats would fix or nix the filibuster to break the logjam on raising the U....

Comparatively speaking, The Sims 4 has the weakest story line of any Sims game by far. The Sims franchise, by design, allows players to create their own families and story lines and see how they play out. This customization also exists alongside random hilarity that makes game play slightly unpredictable, like a Sim getting abducted by aliens when using a telescope. However, when Sims players may lack creativity, that’s where pre-made families and existing lore help improve gameplay....

Like many of my fellow sitting desk-job workers, I spend the bulk of my workday not just sitting—but slouching—in front of my computer. This slouching continues into the evenings and even my workouts; come to think of it, I tend to slouch just about every hour of the day—and knowing how important it is to have good posture, I know I need to stop. Enter the ITA-MED TLSO-250 Posture Corrector....

A television news crew from the northwestern Italian city of Genoa told police that AC Milan striker Antonio Cassano attacked them. A reporter and camera man from local television station Telenord claim they were near Cassano’s home Tuesday, conducting man-on-the-street interviews about upcoming local elections when Cassano emerged from a car, shoved and insulted them, and drove away. He apparently had the wrong impression the interviews were about him and told the cameraman he would “break his face in two”, the news crew said....

Moving across the Alps, the F1 bandwagon has reached Monza for the Italian Grand Prix just a weekend after Belgium where we witnessed chockfull of action. Like Silverstone it enjoys an iconic status among motorsport fanatics and will host the last race in Europe this year.

Conte’s future at Stamford Bridge has become the subject of speculation this season, with the former Juventus boss tipped as a possible replacement for Vincenzo Montella at AC Milan. Italy 17/20 to qualify for World Cup The position of Gian Piero Ventura is also far from certain, with Italy needing to overturn a 1-0 deficit to Sweden in their World Cup play-off if they are to avoid missing out on a place at the finals for the first time since 1958....
