And it’s not just the US that is having a problem with scalpers. In the UK, members of Parliament began looking at ways to inhibit the unscrupulous entrepreneurs, with one member stating that scalping “doesn’t give the ordinary customer fair access to the market....

- Valve Announces Dota Major Championships It’s no secret that Valve’s annual The International competition is one of the biggest events in eSports. 20 million viewers can’t be wrong. Valve has slowly but surely built up the world championship for Dota 2 into an annual spectacle with a prize pool worth millions of dollars.

UEFA have been attempting to strongly clamp down on these incidents to make sure they don’t repeat in the latter stages of the tournament. Before the Hungary vs Iceland match that eventually finished 1-1, the fans had clashed with stewards and police when attempting to climb a fence to enter a section behind one of the goals at the Stade Velodrome. If that wasn’t enough, the Hungary fans lit or threw firecrackers several times during the match as well....

We take a look at the individual player ratings from the game played at the Westfalenstadion in Germany Borussia Dortmund: Roman Weidenfeller – 7/10 Roman Weidenfeller had a decent game and made two fantastic saves off Philippe Coutinho which had they gone in, could’ve changed the result and the complexion of the tie. Lukasz Piszczek – 5/10 Lukasz Piszczek will be thankful that the game came to an end as he was run ragged by a masterful Philippe Coutinho on the night as Borussia Dortmund struggled to keep the little Brazilian quiet....

Not all that long ago, it was hard to use “European farmers” and “markets” in a single sentence, unless perhaps you included the words “dumping” or “distorted.” Now, thanks to the global surge in the price of food and farm products (buoyed by a new emerging-market middle class), plus a series of important reforms to Europe’s 50-year-old subsidy system, market forces that haven’t been felt in ages are stirring in the continent’s fields, barns and meadows....

Here are six leading organisations from the Arab world who have come in and had a healthy hand in the developments in European football over the past few years....

The issue of slow play has been a hot topic in the sport of late, with Bryson DeChambeau’s overly methodical approach at The Northern Trust last weekend a target for particular ire.

During Sora’s gameplay trailer for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the video goes out of its way to show off some of Kingdom Hearts’ iconic character-themed stained glass images in the background. While there are many such designs out there, the trailer seems to focus on the ones dedicated to the series’ most significant Keyblade wielders - with the notable exception of Mickey Mouse. Sora, Riku, Ventus, and even Xion get to be front and center on their own designs, but Kairi only appears as a small headshot in Sora’s, which may indicate that Kingdom Hearts still doesn’t know what to do with Kairi....
