Goals from Nikola Vlasic, Luka Modric and Ivan Perisic helped Croatia register their first win at Euro 2020. The victory against Scotland fired Zlatko Dalic’s men into second place in the Group D table ahead of the Czech Republic. Luka Modric stars in Croatia’s 3-1 victory over Scotland at Euro 2020 Scotland made a bright start to the game and nearly grabbed an early lead through Che Adams. The Southampton forward tried to get on the end of a beautiful cross near the back post from John McGinn....

T. S. Eliot’s Prufrock measured out his life in coffee spoons. Best, like other Euronomads, measures his in Hewlett-Packard laptop batteries and Eurostar timetables. Unfettered movement of labor is one of the four freedoms of the European Union, but most Europeans choose not to use it. A 1997 Eurostat survey found that about 95 percent of Europe’s work force stayed in their own countries. When asked in a recent EU survey whether they’d like to work in another European country, 80 percent of French and Germans said no....

In perhaps his final appearance before a rumored move to Real Madrid, Hazard struck two second-half goals to confirm Chelsea’s second triumph in six seasons in this competition. Olivier Giroud sparked the landslide against his former employers in the 49th minute before Pedro put a second past retiring Gunners goalkeeper Petr Cech. Alex Iwobi pulled one back in between Hazard’s double but Arsenal faded horribly after halftime and, having finished fifth in the Premier League, is now consigned to another season outside the Champions League....

The UN Refugee Agency tweeted on Sunday that 368,000 Ukrainians fled the country and the number “continues to rise.” The figure increased from the number that the agency confirmed to Newsweek on Friday, which was at least 100,000 individuals within Ukraine have been displaced and over 50,000 people out of a population of nearly 44 million left the country since the attacks began. Meanwhile, U.N. agencies estimate that the invasion could result in around 5 million refugees fleeing Ukraine....

Azarenka’s participation on the WTA Tour has been hampered by an ongoing custody battle over her son Leo. Since returning after giving birth in December 2016, Azarenka has only played four tournaments, her 2018 outings coming in Miami and Indian Wells. However, the two-time grand slam winner will be back on court soon after posting a picture on Twitter with the message “Europe here we come”. Azarenka is due to make her first clay-court appearance since the 2016 French Open at the Madrid Open, and could also add the Internazionali d’Italia in Rome to her schedule....

Clubs from Ireland, England and France are pitted together with a place in the quarter-finals on offer for the winners of each tie. With the majority of domestic seasons still ongoing, a European push can present a positive challenge or a distraction from league action, as the campaign enters its final stages. Gallagher Premiership leaders Leicester Tigers are the in-form English side in Europe, with four wins from four and an impressive win at Clermont last week, but rivals Harlequins were among the sharp-shooters from the pre-knockout games with an incredible 135 points scored....

After taking a quick breather, Ting immediately went back to camp to train for his bout against Singapore’s knockout king. “E.T.” has been regarded as one of the most exciting finishers in ONE Championship. But despite the way he ends his matches, Ting is also a very intelligent competitor. He can get technical when needed. After suffering back-to-back losses to Saygid Guseyn Arslanaliev and Shinya Aoki, Ting earned a submission victory over Daichi Abe at ONE: Masters of Destiny last July....

And the most recent example of the tragic sexism that surrounds the game is that of the treatment of Eva Carneiro. After the referee signaled the Chelsea bench for medical attention on Eden Hazard, Jon Fearn and Eva Carneiro rushed to the pitch to treat him – something that infuriated Jose Mourinho as his team were momentarily down to 8 men. The Portuguese then went to question the football knowledge of his staff when, in fact, they were acting according to the rules of the game – something that would have put them into trouble had they not obliged – making Mourinho look like the one in desperate need of knowing the rules....

Alongside the controversy surrounding Hellena Taylor, the original voice actor for Bayonetta, there was also a slight moment of doubt among fans following the release of the game’s ESRB rating, which mentioned in-game purchases. Online, the speculation mostly led to the conclusion that Bayonetta 3 would allow players to purchase extra Halos and Lotus Seeds. Considering the former is used for cosmetic items, it seemed as if Halos might come at the cost of real money....

From what power the Eternals cast members would like to have in real life to their experience of working on an MCU project, fans got a chance to know them a little bit better. The featurette includes Eternals director Zhao, actors Richard Madden, Gemma Chan, Salma Hayek, Angelina Jolie, Kit Harington, Kumail Nanjiani, Don Lee, Lia McHugh, and Lauren Ridloff.

The Crumberly’s have been in jail since December 4 after being unable to post their bond. They had a hearing on Friday to try and lower their bond to $100,000 and be able to leave prison, but the judge denied their request. Judge Julie Nicholson said she denied lowering the bond because the pair have ties in the area and failed to turn themselves in on December 3 after they were charged in connection with their son Ethan Crumberly for the fatal shootings at Oxford High School on November 30....

For the last two years he has lived as a refugee in Brazil, first in a camp, then a church, then a shelter for the homeless. He now sleeps on a mattress on the floor of a shared dormitory-like room, his meager possessions — including his Paralympic silver medal — stuffed into a small wardrobe. Yet still he refuses to return home. Tamiru protested against the oppressive Ethiopian government of then-Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn by crossing his arms above his head as he finished second in the 1,500 meters for visually impaired competitors in Rio....

These talks come after a series of deadly attacks on civilians. Over the weekend, a bombing at a girls’ school killed up to 60 people. On Monday, a roadside mine killed 11 people and injured 24 others on a bus in southern Zabul. “After the terrible attacks of recent days, it is all the more important for the EU to make very clear that Afghanistan and the Afghan government can continue to count on Europe’s support,” German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas told reporters in Brussels....

We have already had plenty of excitement and drama on display in the early stages of the competition and Euro 2016 is really shaping up to be quite an enthralling spectacle as throngs of fans continue to party in France. Ahead of the tournament, new Bayern Munich manager Carlo Ancelotti stated his belief that the next few weeks could be the perfect stage for some smashing counter-attacking football, and it’s difficult to argue with him....

The tournament has also witnessed some amazing goals coming from both renowned players and players who were relatively unknown prior to the tournament.
