Mohun Bagan fielded a team with three changes in the first team that suffered a humiliating loss against a spirited Churchill Brothers side in the same field in their last match. Shilton Paul, Dalraj Singh, and Aser Dipanda were benched to pave the way for Shankar Roy, Kimkima, and Omar Elhusseiny, and Chennai got their man Pedro Manzi back from injury along with I-league debut of the Spanish goalkeeper Santana....

The World Cup winner mulled over his future last year before signing a contract extension with Atleti, having revealed his desire to stay in a documentary-style video. Suggestions the France international could still end up at Barca persist, though, with Atletico 10 points adrift of Ernesto Valverde’s side in the LaLiga title race. Griezmann scored in France’s 4-0 win over Iceland in their Euro 2020 qualifier on Monday but he could still not avoid the topic of his club future....

After a superb World Cup in Russia last year, Pickford’s form for club side Everton during the 2018-19 season came under scrutiny. He also made headlines off the pitch in early April after footage emerged on social media showing him involved in a fracas outside a bar in his hometown of Sunderland. The 25-year-old ended his season on a high, however, keeping five clean sheets in the Toffees’ last seven Premier League games....

This is no minor problem. For starters, experts predict that without major adjustments more than 30 percent of the computer systems in the United States may simply crash and not work at all. Worse, every routine computer transaction or calculation that depends on a date could go haywire. Drivers’ licenses could be a century expired. The Social Security Administration could think 25-year-olds are 75, and 75-year-olds are 25. The good news is, not all computers will be affected by the bug....

Celebrities like Adriana Lima, Kim Kardashian, and the Beckhams, as well as tens of thousands of customers across their 42 locations worldwide, swear by Barry’s classes and their effectiveness in burning fat. So, I, a self-proclaimed couch potato, with a daily average of less than a thousand steps, decided to give it a go as well. And as you can imagine, it was a hard couple of days for me following the ‘hardest workout class in the world’....

The team launched their new RB14 car for the 2018 season, which begins with the Australian Grand Prix on March 25, on Monday. Ricciardo, who enjoyed nine podium finishes – including winning the Azerbaijan Grand Prix – in 2017, is excited to be back. “It was nice to be back in the car and always when you start, it’s been such a long off-season, I think too long,” he said....

Former Manchester United boss Mourinho marked his first game at the helm since replacing Mauricio Pochettino this week with a 3-2 win over West Ham on Saturday. Alli was in impressive form against Manuel Pellegrini’s side, teeing up Son Heung-min for Spurs’ first and then showing superb footwork to help create Lucas Moura’s second. Widely criticised for his performances so far this season, Alli was not included in Gareth Southgate’s most recent England squad....

That’s why watching the U.S. House of Representatives vote for a $15 minimum wage this week means so much to me. It gives me hope that workers like me won’t be stuck at $7.25, $8 or $8.50 for long. It’s proof of the power workers have when we stand together and fight. I know exactly what $15 an hour would mean for workers like me. My paycheck at McDonald’s doesn’t go nearly as far these days....

Hart recently described himself as “surplus to requirements” at City – the Premier League club he joined in 2006 – having signed for Torino on a season-long loan last August. The 29-year-old’s exile in Serie A came about after Pep Guardiola played previous understudy Willy Caballero ahead of him in the pecking order at the Etihad Stadium and brought in Claudio Bravo from Barcelona. However, Bravo’s dreadful form and the fact a resurgent Caballero is 35 and out of contract at the end of the season means Guardiola is set to face another goalkeeping quandary when his debut campaign in England’s top flight concludes....

Johnson was favourite to win both 800m and 1500m but compatriot Manjeet Singh pipped him in a thrilling finish in Jakarta. However Johnson clocked 3:44.72 to win the 1500m gold medal. ‘‘If you are focussing on the Olympics, there is no point competing in both 800m and 1500m. I have spoken to my coaches and have decided that my focus will be on 1500m for Tokyo Olympics. I believe I will be a medal contender in Tokyo,’’ Johnson told PTI on the sidelines of the felicitation ceremony by the Indian Army....

London, Sept 10 (PTI) Retiring England batsman Alastair Cook says he has to thank Jasprit Bumrah for saving him from some “heartache” as the overthrow from the Indian pacer brought up his century in the final Test innings of his career. Batting at 96, Cook drove Ravindra Jadeja for a single in the cover region. Bumrah aimed hard at stumps and it resulted in giving five runs to the home opener....

But while overtime did occur, it was understood that there had to be limits, and for good reason: Being a correctional officer requires for you to be vigilant, awake and on your feet for most of the eight hours of a normal shift. Add into the mix an additional eight hours and you get a recipe for chaos. It’s not about being lazy or not wanting to work; after a few days of working sixteen-hour shifts, you will get worn out....

Ronaldo is the leading goal scorer in La Liga this season with 38 strikes and 12 assists while Messi has scored 34 times and set up 15. Pele says he does not want to choose between the two best forwards in the world but feels the Barcelona star has a slight edge. “It’s not that I like one of Messi or Cristiano more. When people ask me, I always say that you cannot compare them,” Pele was quoted as saying by Spanish radio station ondacero....

Bugs in the iBaby Monitor M6S, which now retails for about $100, can be exploited to leak personal data of users and lead to “remote access of the camera” and some related functions, according to research released this week by security firm Bitdefender, in collaboration with PC Mag. Security experts said iBabyLabs has essentially ignored the issues. An email request for comment sent by Newsweek today returned a bounce-back message....

Manchester United’s top scorer on the season landed awkwardly near the end of regulation in the Europa League quarter-final second leg against Anderlecht. Rashford: We did it the hard way The 35-year-old limped off the pitch and manager Jose Mourinho said after the game that he thought the news was " fairly negative ." However, Luke Shaw was much more optimistic, telling reporters: “He’s fine. He was walking around in the changing room....

The Sweden striker scored 15 minutes from time to send PSG into the Stade de France showdown on May 21 against Ligue 2 side Sochaux or bitter rivals Olympique de Marseille, who play on Wednesday.

Shikhar Dhawan smashed 114 off 94 balls as India defeated South Africa by 26 runs in the opening match of the Champions Trophy in Cardiff on Thursday. The left-hander led a batting feast by the Indians, who piled up 331-7 against a depleted attack that took the field without premier fast bowler Dale Steyn due to a side strain.

The field restrictions phase, in which the fielding captain is allowed only 4 fielders outside the 30-yard circle in the second powerplay (overs 11-40), has now become the main boundary scoring phase in ODI cricket. To add to that, two new balls are used which keeps the ball hard enough for batsmen to take full advantage throughout the entire quota of overs. The World Cup 2019, which is being held in England and Wales, looks set to follow the similar pattern of high scores and steep run chases....
