You had to go back more than eight years, to 2005, when Dempsey had long hair and Bradley actually had hair, to find the two facing off. On Saturday in Seattle we saw the two long-time U.S. teammates going at it over and over. Bradley wasn’t about to take it easy on his fellow member of the High-Priced Americans Club, and both players benefited. The level of competitiveness in the Sounders-TFC match brought out the best in Bradley and Dempsey....

Mushussu is a rare enemy type that usually comes with its own underlings known as Piestes. Both of these monsters generally come with the same attacks and they can be quite dangerous. Generally, standard “Earth Attacks” such as the sword of stone and various Monk abilities can smite these enemies in short order. Try and use the Qigong Wave or Flying Heel Drop, if they are defaulting. This can put on some massive damage to these enemy types....
The Braves pitcher was hit on his left hand by a comebacker in the second inning of his start against the Dodgers. After being evaluated by team personnel, he was forced to exit the game.

There had been inequity ever since divisional play was enacted in 1969, because splitting the leagues meant that there was a decent chance that the second-place team from one division might be better than the winner of a league’s other division. This was illustrated quickly, as in 1973 the Mets won the National League East with an 82-79 record, while the Dodgers, at 95-66, finished 3.5 games behind the Reds in the West and went home for the winter, joined in history’s dustbin by an 88-win Giants team....
Atlanta has placed Culberson on the 60-day injured list after he was hit in the face with a fastball over the weekend.

Culberson was hospitalized and diagnosed with facial fractures, but since no bones were displaced, he avoided surgery....

St Louis came into the game with the third-most runs in MLB and they scored 14 in a victory over Atlanta on Tuesday.

On one of Brazilian football’s darkest days, the Selecao were humiliatingly crushed 7-1 by Germany as hosts in the 2014 World Cup semi-finals and they fell a stage earlier in Russia last year. Argentina were even more underwhelming at the 2018 World Cup than their rivals, finding themselves eliminated in the last 16, with their performances resulting in a major overhaul of the coaching staff and squad. An ageing Chile will do well to win a third successive title, but both of the favourites have plenty of baggage heading into the tournament....
Brazil’s 2022 presidential election has been highly politicized, to put it mildly. Both sides argued that democracy would be threatened if the opposing candidate won. A violent outcome was widely predicted. Lula, as he is commonly known, was sentenced to a long prison term on corruption charges in 2017. His successor and ally Dilma Rousseff, who served as Lula’s chief of staff (a high-ranking cabinet post roughly equivalent to prime minister), was impeached and removed from office....
