Liverpool’s explosive wing pair Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane have both made it to the final shortlist after their Champions League heroics. Salah and Mane had to share the Premier League Golden boot with Arsenal and Gabon’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who also makes the cut for the final 10. The Egyptian, who is the reigning African Player of the Year has already won the award on two occasions and is one of the favourites to win the award for a third consecutive time....

Nobody in Rockport would dare boo Dat Nguyen now. The hard-headed kid who brawled on the field to defend himself against racist taunts grew up to become the closest thing Texans have to royalty. Nguyen became a 5-foot, 11-inch, 231-pound football star. After leading Rockport-Fulton High School to statewide renown, Nguyen went on to play at Texas A&M where he broke the school record for tackles and in 1998 was named the best defensive player in the country....

The Juventus star struck in the 62nd minute to equalise after Radja Nainggolan had given Inter the lead. He was set up by Miralem Pjanic as part of a neat one-two, finding the bottom-right corner with a powerful low drive from the edge of the area. Ronaldo reached the milestone before Messi, the Barcelona star having scored 597 times for the Catalans.

DES is no longer produced. It was widely prescribed worldwide to prevent pregnancy loss from the mid-1940s through the early 1970s. DES was also prescribed to stop lactation, as emergency contraception, and to reduce menopausal symptoms. In 1971, researchers found an association between prenatal exposure to DES and the development of clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCA) during puberty in children of people who took the drug while pregnant with them. CCA is a type of cancer that affects the vagina and cervix....

The Tigers had set a target of 180 runs for their opponents and Frylinck turned the momentum in their favour by dismissing Stiaan van Zyl (12) in the fourth over. Zyl’s opening partner, Sabbir Rahman (62), thrashed the bowlers from one end, but he did not get proper support from the other end. Skipper Dawid Malan (1) could not play a big inning, while all-rounder Soumya Sarkar (22) lost his wicket to Frylinck after spending some time in the middle....

Cooper was spotted on the big screen getting very excited during the game and at one point even pumped his arms to encourage the crowd to cheer more.

Roby echoed the sentiment of former Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter, who's leading a movement that college football should be unionized and the players should be treated like employees of their school. "The money athletes make for universities, (getting) a scholarship just isn't enough," Roby said, pointing to the profits major programs like Ohio State earn through television contracts and other such revenue streams. "I felt like an employee." MORE: QB quandary | Mock draft | Best all-time Combines...

With this plot, Cronenberg maintains a tense relationship between ethereal technologies and the very corporeal consequences of invading another person’s body. Cronenberg’s fixation on embodiment is very reminiscent of his father David’s works. The elder Cronenberg’s films explore taboos through body horror - an approach to narrative storytelling that graphically depicts transformations and mutations of the human form. While the younger Cronenberg carries his father’s thematic torch, he uses it to shine a radical light on new ideas with Possessor....

Expectations are high. It will be the first World Cup hosted by the South American powerhouse since 1950, when the country’s defeat to Uruguay in the final at Rio’s iconic Maracana stadium is still considered a traumatic national humiliation. Brazilians may not have invented football but they have elevated it to an art and for many fans, hosting both the Confederations Cup, which kicks off on Saturday, and next year’s World Cup promises an unparalleled, samba-driven fiesta....

“I’m not sure what this would do for consumers,” Collin Colburn, a senior analyst at Forrester Research told Newsweek. “I don’t believe the lawsuit would turn into a net positive. Generally, people like Google search.” But there will be no immediate changes. Alphabet, Google’s parent company, is flush with cash and will litigate the case aggressively. Colburn said the lawsuit could easily drag on for 10 years. Preventing Google from preloading its search engine on smartphones to give competitors such as Bing, Yahoo or DuckDuckGo a better shot at the lucrative market could easily be undone with a few taps – especially if users are familiar with Google and prefer it, Colburn said....
