Former Three Lions captain Rooney last played for England in November 2016 but will make his 120th and final appearance for his country against the United States. The international friendly, set to take place on November 15, has been dubbed The Wayne Rooney Foundation International and some of the proceeds from the game will go towards the Manchester United great’s charity. Rooney retired from international duty in August 2017 as England’s record goalscorer, while he has won more caps than any other outfield player....

Given these past instances, imagine my surprise when I saw an article painting gamers in a good light coming from none other than Fox News. The story in question talks about researchers at the University of Washington who recently used a protein puzzle program called Foldit to make a scientific breakthrough in the structure of a retroviral protein. The researchers, who are going to be published in the journal Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, state that three dimensional models built by players of the retroviral protein have revealed information that could lead to the development of new drugs to target specific sites in order to inhibit it....

The West Indian, who has been twice awarded the Player of the Final in the T20 World Cup, continued his habit of finishing off targets for the third consecutive game. His scores in his last three innings read – 27*, 55* and 69* - all in successful chases. The five-wicket win, which was the third on the trot for the Comilla Victorians, marked their late resurgence in the season and kept slim mathematical chances alive for a spot in the Playoffs....

He wasn’t just disappointed that he didn’t make the Chase for the Sprint Cup. “It’s tough watching someone celebrate in the winner’s circle every weekend,” Keselowski said.

So when trade rumors mentioning Marshall swirled around before Tuesday’s deadline, he became emotional. Shortly before his scheduled appearance on CBS Sports’ “We Need To Talk” program, he got a call from the Jets, and nearly broke down in tears. FANTASY: Week 9 rankings: WR “Literally three minutes ago, I got a call from someone within the [Jets] organization,” he said Tuesday on the TV show. “My assistant called and said, ‘Hey B, this guy called you and said it’s an emergency....

The event was headlined by a Brave CF World Bantamweight Championship showdown between titleholder Stephen Loman and challenger Louie Sanoudakis. The co-main event of the evening saw Dominik Schober take on Phil Hawes in a Middleweight fight. The event, as expected, also served as a platform for a host of exciting Indian talents to showcase their skills. Mohammad Farhad, Bhabajeet Choudhury, Kushal Vyas, Khantaraj Agasa and Mankit Kolekar were some of the Indian fighters that had a lot of hype surrounding them going into the event....

The Braves’ skipper had just one pitcher of the six who went in Game 4 on Saturday throw multiple innings, and coming into Game 5 on Sunday, but he knew the bullpen would be extra tired coming off two straight games with at least five pitchers used. “When we won yesterday, it made it easier, I guess, coming into this one, but we knew it was going to be tough,” Snitker said....

The Braves notched their first World Series since 1995 on Tuesday, polishing off an unreal season (really, from August onward), gaining momentum like a freight train and finishing off the Astros in Game 6 on Tuesday, 7-0. For all the dominance the Braves have had since Aug. 1, they’ve had just as much fun on the field. Exhibit 1: Ozzie Albies. MORE: Soler’s mammoth HR a symbol of Braves’ power...

But here’s the thing: Ozzie Albies doesn’t really get on base that much. Seriously. For all the good Albies has done through 41 games, the Braves’ second baseman carries a paltry .316 on-base percentage coming into play Wednesday. That’s not good, especially not good for a lead-off hitter. So why bring this up? Whatever he’s doing is clearly working, right? Well, it depends on how you look at it. And here’s how I look at it: Albies would probably be an even better hitter with just a slight change to his offensive approach....

They did updates of this countdown in 2006 and 2009, adding in films like The Strangers, Hostel, and The Descent, but that is now over 10 years ago and there have been many very scary movies to come out since then. If this countdown was remade now to include movies to come out from 2010-2021, here are a few that would absolutely make the list: RELATED: This Horror Film Is Going Viral For An Eerie True Crime Connection...

North Korea, who lost their opening match to Niger 0-1, played majority part of the Group D match in their own half often placing all the 10 outfield players behind the ball as their opponents were the overwhelming favourites to win the game. The relentless attack from the tournament favourites, however, proved too much for the Asian side as their defence wilted under pressure after the hour mark. Brazil, who had beaten Spain 1-0 in their opening marquee match, scored through Lincoln (56th) and Paulinho (61st) to take full three points and qualify for the round of 16 with one match to spare....

LIVE: Follow Brazil vs. Croatia updates from the World Cup The Selecao look to traverse a quarterfinal matchup against Croatia, with the 2018 finalists looking to make another run themselves. Both Gabriel Jesus and Alex Telles were ruled out of the remainder of the competition last week, further weakening what had been billed as the strongest squad in Qatar. Fortunately, there was better news on Danilo and Neymar, who were back into contention for the last-16 clash with South Korea....

The venue’s owners, Brazilian top-flight side Internacional, confirmed Friday that the re-inauguration will feature a match against their local rivals Caxias, reported Xinhua. Just 10,000 seats will be made available for the fixture. Beira-Rio will be only the eighth of Brazil’s 12 World Cup stadiums to be ready for the June 12 – July 13 event. The stadium, due to host five World Cup matches, began its $142 million revamp in December 2010....

Pikmin 4’s reveal trailer shows a group of Pikmin traveling through what looks to be an abandoned park, complete with a wooden bench and some kind of hanging clock or stopwatch. This seems to signify a return to the “remnants of humanity” settings more prevalent in the first two Pikmin games, rather than the more nature-focused Pikmin 3. Although the only enemy shown so far is the iconic series foe Bulborb, fans of the series concur that the Breadbug would make a great addition to the game’s themes and settings....

Four-time world champion Vettel’s contract was due to expire after the 2020 campaign and an agreement to extend the deal could not be reached. The 32-year-old denied their failure to agree terms was due to the finances. He said in a statement: “Scuderia Ferrari occupies a special place in Formula One and I hope it gets all the success it deserves. “Finally, I want to thank the whole Ferrari family and above all its ’tifosi’ all around the world, for the support they have given me over the years....

An absorbing clash at Stamford Bridge was marred when a section of supporters were heard targeting defender Antonio Rudiger, who left Roma for Chelsea in the transfer window. Visiting fans have been accused of making “monkey chants” after the Germany international shielded the ball out of play while under pressure from forward Stephan El Shaarawy. UEFA confirmed the case will be examined by its Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body on November 16, a little over two weeks after the return fixture takes place at the Stadio Olimpico....

Overall, brain metastases occur in 15% to 24% of women with metastatic breast cancer. As survival improves, however, this number is expected to increase. Definition and Overview The brain is one of the more common sites to which breast cancer spreads, along with the bones, lungs, and liver. When breast cancer spreads to the brain it is considered stage 4 or metastatic breast cancer. While there is no cure for brain metastases, the condition is treatable, and treatments may improve symptoms, help with quality of life, and sometimes extend survival....

Not everyone who survives childhood cancer has the same risk. Having received chest radiation, certain chemotherapy drugs, having a gene mutation associated with breast cancer, or family history of breast cancer are all associated with a greater risk (but the risk remains high even in survivors who do not have these risk factors). The issue of breast cancer screening after childhood cancer will only become more important. There are currently over 400,000 childhood cancer survivors in the United States, and that number is growing due to better treatments and survival rates....
