In a complaint filed on Sunday, the Brazilian Union Network UNISaúde, which represents tens of thousands of health workers in the country, accused Bolsonaro of “serious and deadly failures” in his leadership on tackling the pandemic. Bolsonaro’s “negligent and irresponsible actions,” UNISaúde reportedly said, have “contributed to more than 80,000 deaths,” leading to a loss of life that the coalition said amounted to “genocide.” Among the irresponsible actions the coalition said had led to a loss of life in Brazil was Bolsonaro’s repeated promotion of hydroxychloroquine, a medication that has not been proven to be effective in treating COVID-19 patients....

Once again, the great Lionel Messi was being let down on his quest for an elusive international honour by a team performing in an abject manner both individually and collectively. A 2-0 loss to Colombia and 1-1 draw against Paraguay, where Messi levelled from the penalty spot, had strong echoes of Argentina’s shambolic World Cup efforts in Russia last year. But Lionel Scaloni’s men have found their feet to stay in with a shout of glory – back-to-back 2-0 wins over Qatar and Venezuela setting up Tuesday’s mouthwatering semi-final showdown against bitter rivals and hosts Brazil in Belo Horizonte....

Starting in 2017, teams from each region would square off against their geographic “rivals.” North America has had a natural rivalry with Europe since the early days of professional gaming, as do Korea, China and Taiwan.

By the time the logic-defying ninth inning had ended, though, after the Phillies rallied for an unprecedented six-run outburst to snag a four-run lead thanks to an avalanche of self-inflicted St. Louis wounds — walks, hit batters, defensive mistakes and mental errors — the only tune that came to mind as Cardinals fans headed for the exits was the Benny Hill theme. MORE: TSN’s baseball experts make picks for every postseason series...
