The Russian international goalkeeper had conceded a goal in his previous 43 Champions League matches, excluding qualifiers, an ignominious spell stretching back to a game with Arsenal in November 2006. Yet the 31-year-old at last ended the miserable run as Moscow earned their first home win of the campaign to keep their hopes of reaching the knockout stages flickering while shattering Benfica’s chances. “Of course, we congratulated him after the match,” said CSKA coach Viktor Goncharenko....

The World Cup-winning defender has become public enemy number one in the eyes of Reds supporters following his antics during and after a continental clash in Kiev. It was after tangling with Ramos that Salah was forced from the field in tears in the Ukrainian capital, with a shoulder injury robbing Jurgen Klopp of the services of a 44-goal talisman. The Blancos captain also caught Loris Karius on the head during an eventful first-half, with it since revealed that the German goalkeeper suffered a concussion as a result of that coming together....

Akron squares off against PIttsburgh on Saturday, and in an effort to get hyped up against an ACC opponent on the road, it has decided to go all gold everything. The new kit is reminiscent of the gold domes Baylor rolled out in 2013, which capitalized on the “HydroChrome” helmets worn by Oregon in the 2012 Rose Bowl. Akron is a heavy road underdog against the Panthers. It will need all the help it can get, even if it means blinding its opponent into submission....

The trio played a couple of exhibition matches in between the final to make the monies worth of the spectators in the stadium as the crowd went bonkers seeing their favourite actors take to the court at the Siri Fort Sports Complex. As the game was played after two and before three matches of the final, the timing could have been questioned but, nevertheless, it completely entertained the crowd, who were applauding every move of the three actors....

Democrats have said Trump again made racially-charged remarks about minority members of Congress, this time for claiming that a lawmaker has allowed crime to run rampant in his district and represents a city that’s a “rat and rodent infested mess.” Just hours before Sharpton shot back, Trump accused him of being someone who “Hates Whites & Cops!​” “As for his attacks on me personally, Donald Trump and I have known each other for 25 years,” Sharpton said during a press conference in Baltimore, elaborating that he’s “dealt with” Trump on previous remarks about the Central Park Five and his suggestion using “birtherism” that former President Barack Obama was not born in the U....

Johnson said after the Crimson Tide’s victory over No. 17 Auburn that Harley Barber’s video was “vile” and “abhorrent” and that he was “really disturbed” by it.

Only there’s one little problem: they’re not Alabama. Not this Tide team — not now, anyway. “In some ways,” said Alabama offensive tackle Austin Shepherd, “we’re a work in progress.” Don’t let that simple statement fool you. Don’t let this blowout, this part symphony, part slapstick rout of Florida hide what clearly will become significant issues when the SEC West Division comes calling. Alabama can’t run the ball with power like it used to, and can’t protect the quarterback....

The Rev. Mack Morris took a pair of scissors and cut his Nike headband and a wristband in front of a packed church during his weekly Sunday sermon. “I ain’t using that no more,” said Morris, the senior pastor at Woodridge Baptist Church. “I’ve bought my last pair of Nike shoes.” The Nike portion of the sermon starts around the 46-minute mark: People are burning their sneakers after Nike’s Colin Kaepernick ad...

“Wanna wish everybody in 4th precinct a Merry Christmas, especially our captain. Hope you enjoy our homeless quilt! Sincerely, Panhandler patrol,” the original Facebook post read.

WandaVision was a massive topic of conversation when it dropped, and the fast-paced world of talking about superhero content may make it hard to bring it back to mind. Among the many truly brilliant aspects of the underrated series, the major standout was unquestionably its prospective main villain.

Being rich isn’t necessary to beat Agents of Mayhem, but a big part of the game’s fun is upgrading all of your favorite Agents to the max and giving them lots of powerful items to play around with. That kind of activity and customization doesn’t come cheap (don’t worry, we’re talking about in-game currency). Agents of Mayhem provides players with lots of options for earning cash, but the best way to rack up a big bank account is by combining all of the strategies....
