One of the more subdued groups of the lot, Group C consists of reigning world champions Germany, previous hosts Poland and Ukraine and newcomers Northern Ireland. With a strong pool of players and a favourable draw, Germany and Poland have been tipped to ease through the group stages. However, Ukraine and Northern Ireland have enough firepower in their squad to prove their critics wrong. Here, we take a look at 5 players who can decide the outcome of the group single-handedly:...

TOULOUSE, France (Reuters) - Italy moved into the knockout stages of Euro 2016 after Eder scored two minutes from fulltime to secure a 1-0 win over Sweden in Toulouse on Friday. Eder ended a great run by firing home to move Italy clear at the top of Group E on six points after two matches following their 2-0 victory over Belgium in their opening encounter.

Sheriff, who stunned eventual champions Real Madrid in the group stage of Europe’s most prestigious club competition, are one of 20 clubs vying for the final 10 spots in the group stage. Reaching the Europa League group stage is a big deal for many clubs, both in terms of revenue potential and international prestige.

Francesco Molinari’s fifth win of the week clinched the Ryder Cup for Europe on Sunday as he defeated Phil Mickelson to take his team to an unassailable 14.5 points after a dominant display. And captain Bjorn was not interested in taking credit for himself, saying his job was made simple by the efforts of the players. “This has been easy. They have been amazing,” he told Sky Sports. “The way they bonded with each other, the things they have done, how they stuck together and did a proper job…...

In Serie A, Juventus hold the advantage and need just a win from their remaining two games to ensure that they win the title for the 5th successive season. Almost a similar scenario is in place back in France, where Monaco need one point from their remaining two games to win the league or the Stade Louis II outfit need Paris Saint-Germain to drop points in their game against Caen....

Neymar stunned the footballing world by joining Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona for a record €222million and, as if that was not enough, the capital club then moved again before the deadline to secure Monaco protege Kylian Mbappe. The 18-year-old France striker was not the only significant departure from Monaco’s Ligue 1 title-winning side, while an AC Milan under new ownership and with renewed ambition made waves in Italy. Barcelona found themselves trying to pick up the pieces, often in scattergun fashion, after losing one of their prized assets....

But as football continues to grow wealthier and wealthier, becoming a multi-billion dollar industry at the top level, there are some who would like to see that system fundamentally changed. There has been regular rumours in recent years around the idea of a European Super League, which could bring the top clubs on the continent together. It would mean the end of competitive football as we know it, and Goal has all the information you need to know about what it might entail....

Instead, he’ll be replaced by another boxing legend. Evander Holyfield, 58, will fight in place of De La Hoya, per ESPN’s Mike Coppinger. As Coppinger notes, the fight does face an obstacle in getting the California commission to approve Holyfield. But the fight should still go on, be it in California or elsewhere. MORE: Who will fight Jake Paul next? Holyfield has won 44 of the 57 fights he has participated in during his career....

As the draw for the 2014 World Cup progressed, it kept getting worse. Ultimately, when Group G was assembled it was Germany, Portugal, Ghana — and the United States of America. Every World Cup has one, it seems, and for 2014 this became the “Group of Death.” Germany and Portugal both are in FIFA’s top five. The U.S. was solidly in the top 15, and Ghana is perhaps the most consistently dangerous team from the African confederation....

It’s not uncommon for a great narrative game to make players sad. The Last of Us brought everyone to tears within the first twenty minutes and that’s just one example of heartache in gaming. Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture continues this tradition of forcing gamers to confront death and loss, but in a much less action-packed way than has never been done before. Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture is a difficult game to describe, due to its dedication to simplicity....

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said in a tweet the Elephant Butte Fire located outside the city of Evergreen has burned more than 50 acres and is zero percent contained as 7:30 a.m. local time Tuesday. “No evacuation orders have been lifted and no new evacuation orders have been issued. We’re hoping the cooler weather today helps us make progress,” the sheriff’s office said in the tweet. Video and images captured the massive wildfire as emergency personnel worked to contain it....

The reason to say ESPN should keep Schilling on the payroll is that, not having fired him for any of his past misdeeds, or for simply being atrocious at his job, the network deserves to be stuck with him. Such reasoning, though, does not work. Schilling, who should have been fired yesterday, should have been fired the day before that, should have been fired so many previous times, still should be fired, because not doing so remains tacit endorsement of the darkness he brings....

Esto es lo que ha informado Reuters sobre la orden ejecutiva que fue firmada inicialmente en mayo de 2019. Es cierto que no se nombran específicas compañías, pero está bastante claro que estas dos son las más afectadas por la decisión.

LYON, France (Reuters) - Albania hope the return of captain Lorik Cana, sent off in their opening game at Euro 2016, will boost their chances in Sunday’s must-win game against Romania, in which they still have a chance of squeezing into the last 16.

I am not even sure why I am using ‘dear’ while referring to you because, clearly, you are not someone I would want to be close with. In fact, if God ever blessed me with kids, I would never let them go anywhere near you if the chance ever arose. However, the reason why I am writing you this letter is to convey the feelings of EVERY football fan in the whole world....

Since 1996, Portugal have been ever-present, making it to the quarterfinals at the very least, coming closest to the trophy in a shock defeat to Greece in the Euro 2004 final. Despite only having made six appearances in the Euros, Portugal have been one of the more memorable sides in the tournament. Here are 11 footballers that make up the best of Portugal’s Euro squads: Goalkeeper Vitor Baia It’s a bit of tiny revenge for Vitor Baia that he is considered the better keeper to Ricardo now....
