Roma squandered a 2-1 win in the February 12 first leg of the Champions League round of 16, losing in the second leg 3-1 on the road on Wednesday. The Italian club, thereby, failed to repeat its last season showing when it made it all the way to the Champions League semifinals after stunning Barcelona in the quarters, only to fall short against last year’s eventual second placed team, Liverpool....
Two of the finest footballers on the planet have spent the best part of a decade competing with one another for the biggest prizes in the sport, both with their respective employers and on an individual level. Ronaldo moved himself back to the summit in 2016 but, as records continue to tumble around the pair, Messi has enjoyed a standout opening to 2017. Messi team optimistic over ban appeal...
Ronaldo captained Riyadh All-Star XI, a team featuring players from Al Nassr and Al Hilal, in Thursday’s (January 19) Riyadh Seasons Cup friendly against PSG. Lionel Messi’s PSG came out on top in the hotly contested affair, securing a 5-4 victory, but it was Ronaldo who emerged as the best player of the match. The Portuguese superstar scored an excellent brace, smartly putting away a 34th-minute penalty to restore parity for Riyadh All-Star XI after Messi put PSG in front....
The stats that show Arsenal have underperformed The captain began the match on the bench and failed to step onto the pitch at Wembley despite the Red Devils chasing the game, even if the striker lifted the trophy wearing the armband at the end. Rooney has only made 17 appearances this term after falling out of favour under Mourinho, with the 31-year-old being dropped from the starting XI in September after several poor displays....
Some of the finest moments of Drag Race have come when contestants finally let down their guard. In fact, in many ways the show was built on vulnerability. Season 1 of the show, after all, felt like your standard frothy but empty reality TV show until Ongina revealed she was HIV positive onstage. From that point, the show came alive. However, the show has never really been able to find a challenge to test how vulnerable the contestants are....
Speaking to the media on the eve of KKR’s Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Delhi Capitals, Uthappa said the Caribbean all-rounder enjoys his role in the team. “Russell plays an important role. We understand the impact he has for the team to go from 180 to 200. It is important for him to have freedom. He looks at himself as a senior statesman in the team. He understands the role....
The Saints Row franchise found its niche in the market by doing away with realism and going for over-the-top and oftentimes silly action gameplay mechanics. The previous Saints Row 3 trailer displays another franchise mainstay: humor. Staying true to form, The Third is a game created for chaos, and some more chaos, and a little bit of dirty humor, and these screenshots are a perfect example of that. The first leaked screenshots showcased the cushy, successful life the Saints had earned as a result of their escapades during previous games, but as we revealed the Saints have yet more gangs to eliminate and this time they’re pulling out all the stops for more violence than before....
The Blues made it seven wins in a row on Saturday as they edged out London rivals Tottenham 2-1 at Stamford Bridge. ‘Spurs squad stronger than Chelsea’s’ That contest saw Antonio Conte’s side concede for the first time during their sequence of victories, while taking their tally at the opposite end of the field to 29 in 13 games. Only Liverpool can better that record, but Chelsea have one more point on the board than the men from Merseyside....
Now with the coronavirus outbreak bringing the tennis world to a grinding halt, the doubts have intensified even further. The Wimbledon Championships, where Serena Williams has made it to the summit clash the last two years, stands cancelled for this year. The French Open has been postponed to September, and a lot of uncertainty is hovering over the hosting of the US Open. The next time Serena Williams plays a Slam, she could well be closing in on 40....
Bayern travel to Spain as strong favourite to progress over the two legs, with Jupp Heynckes’ men enjoying a fine campaign. Domestically, the Germans are running away with the Bundesliga title, while Sevilla are languishing down in sixth in La Liga, 16 points adrift of the Champions League places after a disappointing season so far. But in Europe they have proven themselves to be a nuisance, having twice drawn with Liverpool in the group stage – including a 3-3 tie in which they battled back from 3-0 down – and eliminated Manchester United in the last round, beating them 2-1 at Old Trafford....
Rousey’s recent reign with the SmackDown Women’s Championship came under the scanner for being underwhelming. Her run came to a shocking end last week when Charlotte Flair confronted her after she successfully defended her title against Raquel Rodriguez. The Queen challenged Ronda to an impromptu match for the gold, which the former won in seconds. Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s One on One, Teddy Long stated that The Baddest Woman on the Planet didn’t care about the business and didn’t take wrestling seriously....

RELATED: An Exclusive Interview with the Producer of Housing Complex C GameRant: Shuna’s Journey is a very interesting work in Miyazaki’s canon, and one that was overlooked in much of the world for a long time....
As Maxis VIP Lucy Bradshaw explained, the servers handle all region status updates for players around the world. A few days ago, modders made the discovery that a few changes client-side would allow them to edit areas past their own city boundaries, which would then sync on the server-side over at Maxis. As innocent as this discovery was, it paved the way to much more sinister findings - that gamers could go into any neighbor’s region and effectively bulldoze their entire city....
To maintain the game’s balance, developers Riot Games routinely tweaks champions to keep things balanced. The developers have decided on the next candidate for the nerf, who is none other than Jett. Earlier on April 20, the official Twitter handle put forward an announcement for the upcoming patch. Once patch 4.08 goes live, there will be a significant change in Jett’s tailwind ability. The new change is a nerf that reduces the champion’s potential....
The demo features a four song Quickplay list that allows players to preview keyboard segments (which are playable with a guitar controller) and the three-part harmonies carried over to Rock Band 3 from The Beatles: Rock Band. For Xbox LIVE users, the demo is only available for those who have a Gold account, at least until November 12, 2010. PSN users don’t have to deal with any fuss to acquire the demo....
Beard, who uses they/them pronouns, was crowned the UK’s Next Drag Race Superstar on November 24, and they join The Vivienne, Lawrence Chaney and Krystal Versace in the winner’s circle. ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race UK’ Winner Danny Beard on Show Success Danny beat Cheddar, Black Peppa and Jonbers Blonde to the top spot following an epic final challenge that saw the quartet write their own lyrics to iconic songs by RuPaul and perform them onstage....
[HTML1] Once seen as little more than a knock-off of Grand Theft Auto, the Saints Row series has undergone a massive transformation in the eyes of the public over the past few years. With Saints Row: The Third, the developers at Volition made their mission clear: to be offensive, crass, nonsensical and irreverent - so long as the end result was fun for those playing the game. With Saints Row 4, they’re taking that philosophy to a new level....
The Blues have seen their transfer policy questioned after allowing three international stars to slip through the net. Salah is now impressing at Liverpool, De Bruyne at Premier League leaders Manchester City and Lukaku at Manchester United. Terry, though, insists that the failure of the trio to make a mark at Stamford Bridge means that those in west London will not be wasting too much energy wondering what could have been....
The Egypt international has been in fine form this term, scoring 17 goals, including two in Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Leicester City at the weekend, and providing six assists in 21 Premier League appearances. The Reds winger has seamlessly slotted into manager Jurgen Klopp’s plans, and Hutchinson believes that he has instantly replicated his excellent form at Roma before his £34 million move. “Mo Salah has probably been the signing of the summer, people might argue Alvaro Morata, who has been in good form,” Hutchinson told Goals on Sunday....
