On four occasions at the grand showpiece the Super Eagles had failed to get the better of the Albiceleste, so what made them so confident things would pan out differently this time? Maybe because on this occasion the South Americans were bruised, battered and most importantly, in disarray. Jorge Sampaoli’s dressing room had supposedly descended into chaos in the wake of a humiliating 3-0 defeat to Croatia with the players rumoured to have overthrown their beleaguered boss....

Scheduled for release at the end of September, the latest in the series of the EA Sports smash hit is widely touted to be the best they’ve ever produced. And Leicester City’s Riyad Mahrez was the best on the day, defeating Crystal Palace’s Christian Benteke in a grand final at the Harbour View Renaissance Hotel. “We have aimed to create the complete package of the beautiful game,” says creative director Matt Prior....

Rummenigge tells Muller to up his game The Chile international is on holiday with his family and was having some fun on the beach with a ball. Vidal then pulled off an awesome trick as he scooped a ball past a large pot and off the kerb behind it, seeing it rebound and bounce into it. The move sparked a great reaction and the midfielder posted it on Instagram with the caption: “The quality is not lost on vacation!...

Warner and captain Steve Smith were banned for a year after Cameron Bancroft - suspended for nine months - altered the condition of the ball with sandpaper during the third Test in South Africa in March. Coach Darren Lehmann, who knew nothing of the plot, also stepped down in the wake of the incident, with Justin Langer this week confirmed as his successor. Langer is open to a return for the trio once their bans have been completed, and Warner - speaking for the first time since his emotional news conference in Sydney - says his time away from the sport has given him a chance to reflect....

Klay Thompson (35 points, 9-of-14 from 3-point range) and Stephen Curry (29 points, six assists, five rebounds) went into full “Splash Brothers” mode, drilling open looks all over the floor and leaving the Rockets’ defense scrambling. Draymond Green took only three shots, but he filled up the box score with 10 rebounds, nine assists, five blocks and four steals. James Harden did his best to push the Rockets to the NBA Finals with 32 points, nine assists and seven rebounds, but talent and turnovers ultimately buried Houston down the stretch....

Ever since Curry’s breakout 54-point performance against the Knicks in 2013, those expectations are somehow even higher when he takes the floor at Madison Square Garden, also known as The Mecca of Basketball. But could you imagine a universe in which Curry suited up at MSG 41 times a year? NBA League Pass: Sign up to unlock live out-of-market games (7-day free trial) Ahead of the 2009 NBA Draft, Curry had a strong desire for that to be his reality....

But the 2022 NBA Finals against the Celtics has not gone well for Green. Though his 5.8 assists per game in the finals lead the team, he is averaging just 4.3 points per game, 7.3 rebounds and has posted a negative-seven plus-minus in the first four games. It is not easy to bench a player of his caliber to start the game — or in the critical moments of a game like what happened in Game 4 — but with the series coming down to the final three games, coach Steve Kerr might need to consider whether to change his strategy with Green as his team seeks for an edge against Boston....

When is Stephen Curry coming back? MORE: 10 devastating injuries that crushed NBA championship dreams The knee-jerk answer is stop waiting and tell him to put on his jersey immediately. The nonchalant answer is the Warriors are one of the greatest teams in history and they can survive another series before advancing to the Western Conference finals. The correct answer? That lies somewhere in the middle. When Curry sprained his right MCL on April 24, Golden State announced he would be re-evaluated in two weeks....

The Warriors star has been sidelined since suffering a calf strain in Game 5 of the Western Conference semi-finals on May 9. He missed the entirety of the Western Conference Finals and has been absent for every game of the NBA Finals series with the Toronto Raptors, in which the Warriors face elimination after going down 3-1. Durant was listed as questionable on Sunday after being cleared to practice for the first time since the injury....

At Oracle Arena in California, the Warriors defeated the Rockets 104-99 to claim a 3-2 lead in the playoff series on Wednesday. Klay Thompson had 27 points, while Stephen Curry added 25 of his own for the Warriors. Warriors star Kevin Durant left in the fourth quarter with a right calf strain and did not return. It is unclear what his status will be for Game 6. As for Draymond Green’s antics, he was called for a technical foul for kneeing Chris Paul after drawing an offensive foul....

It seems a banner week for gay athletes in sport has ruffled the feathers of one political activist.

William Armacost, mayor of Sequim in Washington state, described QAnon as a “truth movement that encourages you to think for yourself.” The QAnon conspiracy theory claims Donald Trump is behind a secret war to tackle Satan-worshipping pedophiles that have infiltrated areas of government, business as well as the media. The theory began with a post on the message board 4chan in October 2017 from a user who signed off as “Q....

Then, in late April, a letter arrived from Bill Clinton. In it, the president firmly told Mobutu that the time had come, at last, for him to go. The message marked the formal conclusion to America’s relationship with a dictator it had supported for more than three decades. For central Africa, the letter signaled something more significant: that the United States intends, once and for all, to establish itself as the dominant power in the region....

A recent study from OpenTheBooks, an organization devoted to transparency in government spending, reports that more than 95% of these loans were forgiven, and many were sent out to wealthy organizations, including top law and accounting firms, country clubs, and even family offices that were facing little financial concern. OpenTheBooks reports that $1.4 billion in forgiven PPP loans went to some of the largest law and accounting firms in the country....

Meant to improve upon many mechanics of its predecessor, Wasteland 3 is an open world, action RPG, and a direct sequel to Wasteland 2. It also changed up the combat style, replicating the style seen the XCOM games. By replacing single-character control for squad-based action, Wasteland 3 focuses itself on team sequences while keeping with the same turn-based combat system from the second installment. The game is played from an isometric perspective, and various choices throughout the story impact the direction and the game’s world....

The video is shot from the point of view of the vehicle’s commander, who spends a considerable amount of time with his head out of the hatch, directing his men, and shows the machine in action. The soldiers inside the vehicle can be seen repeatedly firing shells before reloading.
