However and far more importantly, the final will witness unarguably the biggest rivalry in South American football (and one of the biggest in the world). Both based in the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires, Boca Juniors and River Plate have shared a rivalry since 1906. The rivalry dubbed the Superclasico is one that polarizes the entire nation with both clubs claiming 70% of football supporters in the nation.

Yip was captured in 1985, but he escaped from prison four years later by feigning a stomachache. In 1996, a police rookie shot three bullets into his spine, paralyzing him. Two years later, after a sensational trial, Yip was given a sentence of 40 years, the longest in Hong Kong history. Now he sits behind the razor-wire-topped walls of maximum-security Stanley Prison. He’s lost 40 pounds from intestinal problems. Warders refuse to help him at night....

The eight-player tournament at the Base Tennis Academy in Hohr-Grenzhausen concluded on Monday, with the top-ranked Hanfmann prevailing in the first fairly surreal experience of tennis during the coronavirus pandemic. World number 143 Hanfmann and Brown entered the court wearing face masks, while there were no spectators, ball boys and girls or line officials present. Under the best-of-seven-game sets format, Hanfmann prevailed 4-2 4-0 in dominant fashion.

But in the pantheon of unforgiving and difficult NES games, Contra reigns supreme. With its one hit kills and reliance on twitch reflexes, Contra quickly cemented itself as a must-play game that was as likely to make players jump with joy as it was to make them spike their controllers in frustration. However, with hard work and dedication, Contra could be conquered, and once conquered it left players wanting more....

Of course, if Control is getting a sequel, then Remedy has to answer a lot of basic gameplay questions, and perhaps the most important question is how many of Jesse’s abilities will carry over into the new game. In the world of Control, parautilitarians bind themselves to Objects of Power that grant them incredible abilities, and Jesse collects a variety of these objects over time. Will she keep them all in Control 2, or will she shed them and start fresh?...

Control was one of the biggest games of 2019, a third-person shooter starring Jesse Faden as she investigates a secret government organization responsible for researching the supernatural. Many of the game’s core mechanics revolve around Jesse gaining superpowers from various objects around the Federal Bureau of Control, and most of the powers she gains look an awful lot like the Force. By the end of the game, the only thing really keeping Jesse’s moveset from completely imitating that of a Jedi is her gun....

Cookie Monster was the celebrity singer Thursday for the Cubs’ traditional “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” during the seventh-inning stretch. (“Me so excited!” he said ahead of the performance.)

Keeping aside the administrative shambles that have been laid bare throughout Brazil, especially rampant in the sporting sectors it has to be said, their team heading into the world cup was a pale imitations of the kind they’ve put up in the past and the overdependence on Neymar only brought to light a lack of quality and coherence in the other parts of the field.
