Obviously, he is a legend revered by the club faithful and nothing underlines the fact more than the touching farewell he received at the Camp Nou in his final home game where a humongous ‘Gracies Xavi’ tifo spanned three tiers of the iconic stadium, visible to any aircraft flying over the city. However, since his departure, he has found ways to stay relevant despite exiling himself in Persian Gulf state of Qatar who are looking to form a competitive football team in time for the 2022 World Cup....

Oliver, or ChezOliz as he is known on the app, first posted a video in March when he was still sitting in a high chair. Of course, this video was a little less involved than his newer videos—showing him whisk an egg or two. Fast-forward to today, Oliver is standing on his own in the kitchen whipping up concoctions with the help of his parents from off camera—he is a toddler after all....

A closer look into the entire matter suggests how one-dimensional our view can be sometimes. Apart from Tajamul Islam, 13 other athletes went to Italy for the World Kickboxing Championship in Italy and 12 of those returned home with medals, including young Sumit Kumar, who won silver and is barely two months older than Tajamul Islam. Kumar hails from a village in Bihar called Malkha Chak and is the son of a farmer....

Following them in second place was TSM FTX. The team finished in the second spot with 212 points and 85 frags. The squad performed extremely well in 3 out of the 6 matches and was also able to secure a good amount of frags. Skylightz Gaming ended their day at the third spot with 201 points and 76 frags. The squad known for their placement-centric playstyle, secured two chicken dinners today, taking a podium spot ahead of the final day....

The Bavarians led 4-0 in the first half with goals from striker Mario Gomez (14th), Thomas Mueller (28th and 37th) and Bastian Schwiesteiger (43rd). In the second half, the Indian team fought valiantly to go down with a respectable scoreline. The 30,000-odd fans didn’t bother too much about the number of goals scored, they relished how the Bavarians got them. For India, every minute was a learning experience of what European football is all about....

“We’re not going to be, by the end of the year, in a combat mission,” Biden said during a meeting with Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi of Iraq. Monday marked the fourth meeting of what’s been dubbed the U.S.-Iraq Strategic Dialogue in Washington—the second of the Biden administration. The White House has not provided additional details on what it’s broadly describing as an effort to shift to security and training missions—a “change in mission” that had been anticipated for some time and is fully-backed by Iraq....

Reports released this month indicated Biden’s reluctance to press ahead with investigations into Trump during his upcoming presidency out of fear that it would divide the nation. But New Jersey Congressman Bill Pascrell disagreed. In a series of tweets shared earlier this month, the lawmaker called for an investigation of the entire Trump administration after Biden’s inauguration. Biden on Tuesday night said he would not push the DOJ to go forward with investigations against Trump after he leaves office....

But maybe Bethesda knew exactly what they were doing not bringing Dawnguard in full force to the show floor. In fact, maybe they figured that since many gamers would be playing the expansion in just a few short days it would be better to show them what is new rather than to tell them. As was announced when Bethesda revealed Dawnguard, there would be a beta for Skyrim’s first DLC and all players need do to participate was to opt-in using Steam....

But that’s just what publisher Bethesda Softworks decided to do with their upcoming survival horror title The Evil Within. They have pushed the game forward from October 21st to…October 14th. Wait, that can’t be right. Well, while The Evil Within didn’t completely bypass the overcrowded month of October, it did find a better home on the 14th. In fact, if there were an ideal day to release in October, it would have to be the 14th....

Announced at the beginning of this year, the upcoming Indiana Jones game was a surprise on many levels. Not only did it accompany the announcement of the new Lucasfilm Games licensor, but it was revealed that the game would be helmed by Bethesda and MachineGames. At the time of its announcement, there was uncertainty over whether or not the game would be an Xbox exclusive because of Microsoft’s impending acquisition of Bethesda....

Days, weeks, and months went by without so much as a peep from Bethesda regarding when gamers might see Dawnguard, or at this point even Hearthfire, on their console, and many began to give up hope altogether. And now comes word of another Skyrim expansion, Dragonborn, which promises to be the most exciting yet (dragon riding!). Yes, PS3 players still feel cheated in a way, and can’t help but wonder if anything good will ever come their way, but Bethesda continues to promise new content is coming....

This year was no different, but the historic disqualification of first-place finisher Maximum Security forced a shift of millions of dollars in winnings after 65-1 long shot Country House was declared the winner after a controversial ruling by stewards. MORE: When sex doesn’t follow a Kentucky Derby victory Maximum Security closed as the betting favorite with 9-2 odds, so he would have paid about $11 to win on a $2 bet, and a $1 exacta bet of Maximum Security and Country House reportedly would have paid roughly $250....

Chad Bettis and his teammates are changing that reputation. Bettis tossed seven smooth innings , Nolan Arenado homered off the big apple at Citi Field and Colorado shut down the slumping New York Mets in a 2-0 victory Saturday night. “Chad just followed along the string of good starts,” Rockies manager Bud Black said. “When that happens, you’re going to win most of the time. So that’s the challenge, that’s the expectation for our group....

Lites ripped Benn and Seguin on Friday, telling reporters their play has been “terrible” and saying owner Tom Gaglardi was frustrated as well. The NHL players’ union called the comments “reckless and insulting,” but Bettman sounded as if he wanted to stay out of the situation. “We’re never going to condone profanity,” Bettman said during Boston’s 4-2 victory over Chicago in the Winter Classic on Tuesday. “As a general rule I don’t interfere in team dynamics, internal team dynamics....

Bush’s executive order is remarkably sweeping: It allows the president to put any noncitizen on military trial, in secret, without the protection of the Bill of Rights. A suspected terrorist could be seized, tried and executed without the public knowing. Not surprisingly, the editorial pages of The Washington Post and The New York Times have been scathing. “Worse than the blow to the U.S. image abroad will be the potentially irreversible injury at home if Mr....

BEST SOUNDBITE “Trusting in the sanity and restraint of Saddam Hussein is not a strategy, and it is not an option.” Translation: it’s war. MISSING IN ACTION Any mention of the $300 billion budget deficit, beyond adding it to the list (along with baldness and halitosis) of things the president believes can be cured by cutting taxes. THE ROAD TO BAGHDAD LEADS THROUGH NAMIBIA Last fall, Sen. Bill Frist thought we needed to give the Global Fund to Fight AIDS $400 million to combat the disease in Africa, but the White House cut it to $200 million....

Unveiled on Thursday, the two new sets of headphones look to offer quality design and build off the comfort and audio quality that Beyerdynamic says it has become known for in the past. Complete with a new STELLAR.45 driver, both Pro X headphone sets offer a nice upgrade for users who want to monitor their audio more efficiently. Beyerdynamic says the DT 700 Pro X headphones offer a closed-back experience, designed to be used for production in the home studio or when on the go with a laptop, tablet, or smartphone....

The 26-year-old led India in the first Test against Australia at Adelaide in December last year in the absence of regular skipper MS Dhoni and following the 33-year-old’s retirement from Test cricket, Kohli took over as the full-time captain of India in the fourth and final Test at Sydney in January this year. “He (Virat) has immense passion for the game. He has a good work ethic and is always keen to learn and improve....

The UP pacer has been suffering from a stiff back since the start of IPL and also didn’t play all the matches during the limited overs tour of the UK leg. Bhuvneshwar has currently not been named in the 18 member squad for the first three Tests “as his condition is being assessed by the BCCI medical team”. However, a senior BCCI official privy to team selection was “surprised” as to why he was played in the third ODI if he wasn’t fully fit....
