Conte’s men are on a stunning 11-match winning run in the league, seeing them open up a six-point lead atop the table. The Italian is happy for his team to be frontrunners in the second half of the campaign, saying it was a position no one expected them to be in. Why did Real Madrid’s CAS appeal succeed? “It’s good to stay in this position. I don’t trust the people when they say, ‘It’s important now to stay behind, and there’s pressure when you’re top’,” Conte said....

Altidore’s overhead kick in the 66th minute gave USA a third win from as many games in Group D, securing top spot and a quarterfinal clash against Curacao. USA made 11 changes to their starting lineup and it showed, but Altidore — having squandered two great chances earlier — stepped up to secure three points in Kansas City. While they were unconvincing, Gregg Berhalter’s USA did enough to complete the perfect group-stage campaign....

It’s a handful of images, most of which are placeholders for different modes taking place on the Hoth map, but before anyone gets too excited it’s best to realize this could either be an elaborate April Fools joke. By our measure, there hasn’t been much movement made with Star Wars: Battlefront 3, despite fans clamoring for a sequel. Delivering a lot of Star Wars MMO trappings without the MMO-ness, Battlefront was a series that brought multiplayer and Star Wars fans together....

France have entered into this tournament not as one of the four automatic qualifiers from Europe but after featuring in a fifth place play-off match. But they have been having a brilliant run of form so far in India though they were placed in a comparatively easier group. The 2001 champions side beat tournament debutants New Caledonia 7-1, then prevailed over Japan 2-1 in a close game before thrashing Central American side Honduras 5-1....

Despite starting their title defence in style against Sri Lanka, national coach Stephen Constantine on Saturday declared that his team “is not going to start as favourites in any of the matches” in this tournament. “We are not going to start as favourites in any of our matches. We are a young and inexperienced side and we are playing against senior sides. We can say we have a good chance to win this game....

The league reported no positive COVID-19 results....

In 2009, at the same stage, the U.S. men played an essential game in the aftermath of a coup d’etat. In that instance, the Americans were in a stronger position than they are entering this game against Panama at Orlando City Stadium. They hadn’t clinched anything and could have lost their shot at South Africa if they bungled their road trip to Honduras and the home game that followed. Instead, they unleashed a weapon no one had expected: Conor Casey....

After Elder indicated earlier this month he was considering joining the recall race against Gavin Newsom, on Monday he made the news official on his radio show. Elder said months ago he was approached by Dennis Prager to run. Elder said he thanked him but said “Hell, no. I think this state is un-governable.” But then Elder said more people that he respected suggested he run. “The more I thought about it and the more egregious the behavior of Gavin Newsom was as he sits there with the very people that drafted the coronavirus outline at The French Laundry … it’s egregious…...

Claude Chabrol’s lifelong obsession with the hypocrisies of the bourgeoisie has prepared him well for Flaubert’s immortal tale of the adulterous 19th-century provincial wife who hurls herself against the stone wall of French convention. The most faithful of the many cinematic adaptations of the novel, Chabrol’s keeps a clinical, ironic distance. It is with detached horror that we watch Emma Bovary’s stifling marriage to the doting mediocrity Charles (Jean-Francois Balmer), her swooning affair with the amused aristocrat Rodolphe (Christophe Malavoy), her desperation in the face of indebtedness....

The Spain international scored his 10th league goal of the season to hand his side a 1-0 win over Middlesbrough that puts them a point clear of Liverpool and Manchester City at the summit.

The Blues’ second Premier League title triumph in three seasons has done little to quash speculation linking Eden Hazard, Thibaut Courtois, Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas with moves away from the club. Costa has been heavily tipped to move to the lucrative Chinese Super League with Tianjin Quanjian, while Fabregas is a reported target for AC Milan’s new wealthy owners. Hazard and Courtois, meanwhile, have long been linked with LaLiga leaders Real Madrid, with Chelsea having reportedly offered their star winger a contract of £300,000 per week to convince him to stay....

[HTML1] While late night host Conan O’Brien may be more well know for stand-up comedy (and his hair) than his thoughts on video games, he’s made major progress in becoming somewhat of a famous games reviewer in recent years - a feat made even more impressive by the fact that he is “contemptuous of the medium” as a whole. As part of his ongoing ‘Clueless Gamer’ segment, O’Brien has already given his thoughts on Hitman: Absolution, and witnessed the horrors of the new Tomb Raider firsthand; but finally, he’s set his sights on the past....

De Boer was appointed coach of the MLS champions in December, replacing Gerardo Martino, who took charge of Mexico. But the Dutchman tasted defeat in his first competitive outing, as Atlanta went down to begin the last-16 tie in Costa Rica. The visitors were punished in just the seventh minute, Jose Guillermo Ortiz pouncing on a poor headed backpass to lob goalkeeper Brad Guzan. Herediano doubled their lead 11 minutes before half-time, Randall Azofeifa getting in behind to put away a pass from Ortiz....

Nicolas Sanchez opened the scoring from the penalty spot, but Monterrey needed until the final 10 minutes to take control of the tie....

Russia will host the next finals in 2018 and Qatar the 2022 event, with both nations awarded the tournaments in a controversial vote in December 2010. A lengthy anti-corruption campaign has been led in FIFA and global football in the subsequent years, with a number of officials indicted on charges including bribery and money-laundering following a high-profile police bust in Zurich last year. Former CONCACAF chief Jeffrey Webb was among those to be arrested and later banned from the sport by FIFA, while ex-president Sepp Blatter is serving a six-year suspension over an alleged “disloyal” payment made to UEFA counterpart Michel Platini in 2011....
