‘Henderson better than Pogba currently’ The 22-year-old has not featured in the last two international squads despite being a regular at Goodison Park this season. Barkley has started all seven Premier League games under Ronald Koeman, but he has only managed one goal and one assist, a tally not deemed enough by Sam Allardyce and latterly Gareth Southgate. Osman believes Barkley’s troubles stem from the change of manager at Everton during the close season, but he is confident the midfielder will start to improve once he adapts to Koeman’s style....

The American was bidding to become the second man to win three straight U.S. Open titles, but ended up three strokes behind Gary Woodland. Koepka fired a three-under 68 in the final round to get to 10 under, but Woodland held his nerve to claim a first major title. Despite being unable to match Willie Anderson, who won three straight U.S. Opens in the early 1900s, Koepka was satisfied he did all he could....

Koepka picked up a shot at the first and though he bogeyed four and five, birdies at seven, eight and nine ensured he reached the turn at -14 for the tournament. That was two better than his compatriot Justin Thomas and Belgian Thomas Pieters, who was six under for the day through 16 holes. Woods was a further shot back at 11 under having reached the turn in 32....

Put into bat, the Bangalore top order once again failed to fire putting the onus on the middle-order. A 55-run partnership between Yuvraj Singh (25) and Kohli was one of the bright spots for the hosts. Former India pacer Ashish Nehra picked up three wickets while Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja chipped in with a wicket apiece. 0 votes

Ganguly said, “Virat Kohli will not be judged by how many runs he scores but how he carries the team with him. I hope he has the right people around to guide him and make sure life becomes a little easier for him.” Indeed, all eyes will be on Kohli in perhaps what will be the toughest assignment of his captaincy regime so far. After India’s long winning run was snapped in South Africa, the old questions surrounding India’s Test abilities have started popping regarding whether they will be able to do well overseas....

eFootball 2022 is a free-to-play rebranding of Konami’s long-running Pro Evolution Soccer series that was first released in 2001 for the PlayStation and PlayStation 2. While the franchise has often lagged behind EA Sports’ high-budget FIFA titles in terms of graphics, team licensing, and UI, Pro Evolution Soccer has always had its diehard fans that preferred its more deliberate pace and simulation approach. This newest eFootball 2022 version and its corresponding rebranding have players simply scratching their heads, however....

While war and invasions are a staple in the Naruto franchise, this conflict, in particular, didn’t add up, considering how two massive armies remained undetected outside the Leaf Village’s walls. The Hidden Leaf even possessed complex defense systems such as chakra sensors and its Byakugan users, who could easily detect invariable chakra activity in their surroundings. This has led fans to debate whether this can be attributed to poor writing on the authors part, or were there actual signs that explain how the invasion could have been made possible....

It’s challenging to think of a platform that hasn’t received a port of Knights of the Old Republic at this point—it’s even been on smartphones for eight years now. So, inevitably, it was going to be the Switch’s turn, and it’s no surprise it’s pretty much the same game as always. I don’t see that as a bad thing, mind. KOTOR is one of the most beloved (possibly the most beloved) Star Wars video games of all time, and that’s not without reason....
