East Bengal put their foot on the gas right from the onset and the urgency in their game was showing by the number of attacks they mounted in the Chennai goal in the first 5 minutes. They had gone 2-0 up by the 25th minute and were in cruise control. The halftime score read 3-0 in favour of the Red and Golds. East Bengal increased their lead to 5-0 within the first 10minutes of the second half, with Dudu completing his hattrick....

German newspaper Der Spiegel, working off information provided by ‘Football Leaks’, alleged last week that Infantino had been personally involved in a rewrite of rules that removed references to corruption. FIFA hit back, arguing that the change was made merely for the sake of “clarity” in several translations of the document . But Infantino has now claimed that he was angered by the omission, and has pledged to restore the original text that refers to bribery and corruption charges....
Linked with a blockbuster transfer to Premier League side Manchester United that failed to materialise, the France international endured a rocky beginning to the 2017-18 campaign. He was sent off in Atletico’s LaLiga opener against Girona before enduring an eight-game run without a goal, his longest dry spell for the club since arriving from Real Sociedad in July 2014. However, Griezmann - who is rumoured to be Barcelona’s top transfer target - has been in sensational scoring form in 2018, finding the net 12 times in LaLiga while also bagging three more in his side’s Europa League campaign....
Sydney, Mar 31 (PTI) A tearful David Warner apologised for his role in the ball tampering scandal that ruined his career, saying he is resigned to the fact that he may not play for his country again.

I’m a citizen of the Oglala Lakota Nation, located in what is now called western South Dakota. On July 3, I joined over 100 Indigenous land defenders in an effort to stand in our power, hold space and let Donald Trump know he is not welcome in the territory of our people. To remind the world who the rightful stewards of these lands are, and that as we have a national conversation about racial justice, it must include the voices of Indigenous people....
I grew up in Brazil, and used to spend a great number of school breaks and vacations at my grandmother’s farm, about 40 minutes outside of Anápolis, Goiás. Growing up we knew to steer clear of feral animals, and to avoid the bamboo thickets because there were snakes in there. We had never even considered needing anything more for protection, day-to-day. One afternoon, when I was about six and my cousin 12, we went swimming in the creek, about 15 minutes walk from the farmhouse....
The defending English champions didn’t have the best of starts following an under par pre-season which also included a 1-0 Community Shield defeat against Arsenal. And a rusty opening fixture was a further setback as they failed to grab all three points. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was sent off during the second half which reduced Chelsea to 10-men for the rest of the game. However, already short of a man, the medical staff rushed onto the field to treat Hazard after the Belgian went down following a tackle from by Gylfi Sigurdsson, but the injury didn’t seem to be that concerning....

“I have dismissed him in three out of the four matches we have faced each other. He is a brilliant batsman but he has failed against me,” Khan told The Express Tribune. India and Pakistan go face-to-face in their tournament opener on June 4 in Birmingham, in what could be an intense affair given the seasoned rivalry between the two nations and the occasion of an ICC event. The 27-year-old Pakistani believes that he holds a psychological advantage over the India captain, and although it has been four years since the two squared off on the field, Kohli would feel the pressure of the past record....
Providing more clarity on the injury, Black Caps head coach Mike Hesson said that although Milne was able to walk without any discomfort, the pain became almost unbearable when bowling. “He’s fine walking in a straight line but unfortunately when he bowls it’s become increasingly uncomfortable to a point where he’s unable to carry on. “It’s to a point now where he wasn’t able to bowl so he’s unable to bowl and he’s in a lot of pain when he bowls,” Hesson told reporters....

Pakistan put no semblance of fight whatsoever as they largely lagged behind in all three departments and remain winless in the contest thus far. With this 4th consecutive loss, the chances to make it to the knockout stage are almost negligible for the Sana Mir led side. Let’s take a look at 5 points from the match that got the viewers talking. #1 Pakistan strike early but fail to capitalise While taking the field, one thing on the top of Pakistani women’s team agendas would have been picking up early wickets against an Australian side sans Meg Lanning....
Why else would the entire nation, even today, when India looks very much certain of its 15 member squad, still be hoping against hope for Yuvraj Singh to make a comeback? The 37-year-old player last played an international game way back in June 2017. Since then, he hasn’t even set the domestic circuit on fire. To make matters worse, he went unsold in the first round of the IPL 2019 auction until he somehow managed to crawl into a strong Mumbai Indians team (by the way, the entire nation heaved a sigh of relief at this news)....

England, firm tournament favorites and the World No. 1 team, might now find it hard to make it to the semis. It could have seemed like a joke at the start of the tournament but now, this scenario could become all too real. After a shocking defeat to Sri Lanka, England had opened the doors to the semi-finals for Bangladesh, Pakistan and, to an extent, Sri Lanka....
In an acquisition form for the procurement of “hyper-realistic training devices” for a new training facility for its expanding Special Response Team (SRT) program, ICE outlined the details of plans for its new training center in a document published on the U.S. Federal Business Opportunities website. While ICE sought to redact the location of the new training facility in the document, it was not successful in doing so. After copying and pasting the document’s contents into a separate document, Newsweek was able to establish that the facility will be built at the Office of Firearms and Tactical Programs’ (OFTP) Tactical Operations Complex (TOC) at Fort Benning, Georgia....
