Following the controversial and criticized launch of Marvel’s Avengers, few were expecting Eidos Montreal and Square Enix to be able to completely flip the script and in the following year release a truly successful title. In the months following its release, Guardians of the Galaxy was seen as a success, with it holding an “overwhelmingly positive” amount of reviews currently on Steam. However, it seemed that even Square Enix was not expecting the game to do as well as it did, and that despite its critical praise, Guardians of the Galaxy may have failed elsewhere....

City invested heavily ahead of the 2017-18 season, buying players including Kyle Walker, Benjamin Mendy, Ederson and Bernardo Silva, and Guardiola subsequently led the club to the Premier League title by a record-breaking 19 points. But after the transfer window closed on Thursday, Riyad Mahrez was the sole major arrival at the Etihad Stadium, joining for a reported £60million - a new club record that surpassed the £57m spent on Aymeric Laporte in January....

City were beaten 5-1 on aggregate by Liverpool to crash out at the last-eight stage, having gone one phase further than in their first campaign under Guardiola.

Mahrez captained Algeria to the AFCON title on July 19 but returned to start against West Ham in City’s Premier League opener, providing two assists in a 5-0 win. Guardiola was delighted to be able to call on the former Leicester City winger as he revealed Silva, a star of last season’s title success, was left on the bench due to “little muscular problems”. “Riyad called me after they won [the AFCON],” Guardiola said....

Sane picked up the PFA Young Player of the Year award on Sunday night on the back of the 22-year-old scoring nine goals and providing 12 assists in the Premier League this season. The Germany international has cemented himself as a starter at the Etihad Stadium this season and he believes that his manager deserves recognition for his fantastic campaign. “He is, for me, the best coach in the world,” Sane told Sky Sports News ....

In fact, in Ecuador, locals have long sipped guayusa in order to increase their alertness, especially while working. Certain native tribes refer to guayusa as “the night watchman,” since the drink is sometimes used to help people stay awake through evening hours. Some believe that guayusa also provides other benefits. It is touted as a top source of antioxidants, vitamins, and amino acids. In addition, it contains such chemicals as theobromine, a substance also found in cocoa and thought to offer mood-enhancing effects....

The Lightning defender lit up Panthers forward Scottie Upshall with an elbow to the head in the second period of Tampa’s 3-2 overtime win over its in-state rivals. It looked bad, as you can see from the video below. But looking bad and actually being illegal are two separate things. No penalty was called on the play and in the end, Gudas received only a warning from the league office, which tweeted out the justification:...

It is a rudimentary fact that movies need to have a good start, to keep the audience engrossed. Liverpool seemingly had similar views as they started with a bang. The phase of the first twenty minutes of the match was perhaps, one of the best in the history of the Premier League. With Martin Skrtel ‘kneeing’ a goal past a confused Wojciech Szcz?sny within 52 seconds, he scored an excellent header from yet another Steven Gerrard delivery to double his tally....

It’s that time again. The latest scene of senseless slaughter: San Bernardino. 14 dead, as of this writing. More wounded. Meanwhile, the specter of the Paris terrorists attacks still lingers as a source of newfound fear. And with that fear comes a predictable refrain: What if the fallen could have fired back? With that fear comes a poignant reminder: America will smother itself with these security blankets we call guns; the new Linus carries his symbol of both comfort and fear in a holster....

Being the fourth-best team — the best of the rest — is the most Haas can do in the top racing series. “We really don’t consider ourselves to be a competitor with the top three teams,” Haas told The Associated Press at the Spanish Grand Prix....

Dig a little deeper and you’ll find there’s something that differentiates this New Age cybersurfer from his high-minded brethren. Last year Dmitry netted $300,000–stolen from major American corporations. Like a slick businessman, Dmitry arrives for his secret rendezvous with NEWSWEEK accompanied by his lawyer. He works as part of a hacker team, composed of 10 or so experienced criminals, each with his own specialty.

Indian batting legend Sachin Tendulkar has said that had the 2003 World Cup final between India and Australia been replayed in this day-and-age, then the Men In Blue would have gotten a lot closer than they did that day. “(Players would have approached) differently only because of the introduction of T20, in those days 358 (359) looked (a) herculean task, it will be today as well but it will be closer than 2003....
