In case you didn’t know… Olympique Marseille had a disappointing 2018-19 season, finishing a dismal 5th in the French Ligue 1, thereby missing out on next season’s UEFA Champions League. With UEFA’s Financial Fair Play watchdogs officially sanctioning Marseille, Les Phoceens have to make €50 million worth of sales by June 30 to comply with the new mandate. This, along with the loss of TV revenue due to missing out on the Champions League means that Marseille have to let go of as many as four first-team players....

After the trouncing in the Test Series, Sri Lanka showed their effectiveness against Ireland by clinching the 2-match ODI series by comprehensive margins. They are a much better ODI outfit and would love to put things in order. Hosts England, on the other hand, have turned a corner themselves as far at white ball cricket is concerned and after a forgettable 2015 World Cup, they have roped in specialists for the One Dayers and it has reaped dividends....

England Sports’ Social Media Blackout Has Begun We reported previously that English soccer teams were planning a social media blackout in a stand against online racism. This is a message that teams and players collectively want to spread; that racism online, or anywhere else, is totally unacceptable. According to a Premier League statement, the blackout is now underway and will continue across the entire weekend, including Monday’s UK public holiday....

Thirty years later Marxism is a memory-and so, sadly, is the notion of a melting pot. Tribalism is rampant. The utopian transethnic conceits of the 20th century-from Moscow to Maastricht-seem as irrelevant now as ethnicity once did. The borders imposed by communist and colonial empires have proved fictitious; the work of drawing the real maps of Europe, Central Asia, the Middle East and Africa will be the source of mindless savagery for decades to come....

The Nigerian giants, who lost 1-0 at home in the first leg of the semi-final, conceded a goal in both halves but Abdulrahman Bashir got a late goal which was not enough to carry them through. The Ghanaian goalkeeper blamed their elimination on the loss in Aba, while admitting that his side learned some lessons from their botched title pursuit on the continent. “We started this competition slowly and people even started writing us off but we were able to reach where we got to today [Wednesday],” Dauda told media....

Of course, this means that the follow-up game, Gods Will Fall, is currently free on the Epic Games Store. Fans will be able to claim this title until January 13 at 10 am CT, at which time the next selected title will become available. In turn, this will replace Gods Will Fall on January 13 and last until January 20. As usual, Epic Games Store has confirmed the free title for January 13....

The fact that the Epic Games Store is offering free mystery games is a strategy adopted to have players hyped, or at least curious, about the upcoming title, sparking discussions and speculation about it, and having players check the store more often. For now, this approach seems like one that’s reaping the desired results, and with largely appreciated games the caliber of NBA 2K21, Among Us, and Frostpunk, it is plausible that Epic will have similar titles up in the future....

While the occasional simulation tool pops up on the Epic Games Store, they are rarely as meticulous as this entry from Claudiu Kiss. Originally a 2018 release on Steam, the game was incredibly popular, and 3 years later it is coming to the Epic Store for free. While the free release will just be the base game, most of the title’s DLC will also become available on the store at the same time for enthusiastic PC engineers....

In Windbound, players take on the role of Kara who has been shipwrecked on the Forbidden Islands. Players will need to explore, gather resources, craft, work on their ships, and more to survive. It was released in 2020 but may have flown under many radars, meaning Epic Games Store’s release of it could be someone’s first real experience with it.

However, the Premier League sack race, as per the bookies was proven incorrect last season. One fine example was Claudio Ranieri, who took the helm at Leicester City at the start of 2015-16 season, was the favourite to be sacked, but nine months later, he led the team to the title and finished 10 points clear at the top of the table. The much anticipated 2016-17 season got underway on 13 August and the burning question on everyone’s mind is which manager will be sacked first?...

Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane came the closest for the visitors but Jurgen Klopp was left bemused at the touchline as Liverpool had the major share of possession but failed to reflect that on the scoreline. Southampton Fraser Forster: 7/10 Forster was sensational on the night as he made some crucial saves to keep Southampton in the game. His save against a Mane shot from the left was the moment of the game....

Ibrahimovic was confronted by a star struck fan during Manchester United’s 4-1 win against Leicester City earlier today. The culprit who also happened to be an exact lookalike of the Manchester United striker approached the Swede as he was celebrating United’s 4th goal.

Having worn the legendary shirt number in his debut EPL season, Martial was forced to switch to number 11 due to Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s arrival. Since then, he wore former EPL legend Ryan Giggs’ shirt for three years before reverting to his preferred #9 in the 2019/20 season. The switch in kit number ahead of the 2019/20 EPL campaign was of a special significance for Martial. The 24-year-old, after predominantly playing out wide for years, reverted to a more central role under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer....

This week, we see Manchester United line up against West Bromwich Albion at the Theatre of Dreams. Although their last match was a disaster, they sort of found their feet against Liverpool in the Capital One Cup tie in midweek. On the run, they will look for another win against West Brom to improve their league standing from eighth. Let’s see their possible line up: United are expected to line up in their usual 4-2-3-1/4-4-1-1 with two strikers, and one of them playing as the trequartista....

Footage from the team, from Vesti Yamal TV, was released by the broadcaster and dubbed a “sensational find.” Video of the crater shows its vast scale. Following the find, the crater was visited by a team of researchers from the Russian Academy of Sciences, Vesti Yamal TV reports. “This object is unique,” Vasily Bogoyavlensky, Doctor of Engineering Sciences, is quoted as saying....

I had already seen a big one in baseball’s path Monday when I flew out over Boston Harbor. With its Red Sox obsession, Boston surely ranks among the most passionate and devoted baseball cities in the country. In a critical game on Saturday night, the Red Sox faced the playoff-bound Twins–and won a thriller only after reliever Alan Embree struck out the side with the bases loaded. On the same evening, the Super Bowl-champion New England Patriots played a meaningless exhibition against the Philadelphia Eagles, a lackluster affair won by the Pats 16-15....
