TimTheTatman was an early adopter of Fall Guys when it first launched in August, but was quickly mocked for his inability to win crowns where many of his fellow streamers were raking in wins. The Fall Guys official Twitter account even jumped on board to poke fun at the streamer, but this all led to a surge in popularity for TimTheTatman as many viewers anxiously awaited his first crown.

Naturally, that attracts attention. MORE: Why eSports are sweeping the world | Who won the eSports world championship? One new entrant into the eSports arena is the all-too-familiar Madden NFL football video game.

Arkadiusz Milik missed two good chances for the Poles, who are locked with the Germans on four points heading into the final game. Both countries are guaranteed to qualify for the knockout stages if they avoid defeat next week. Milik spurned a guilt-edged chance to put Poland in front early in the second half as he failed to make good enough contact with Kamil Grosicki’s dangerous cross. Milik passed up another glorious chance to score in the second half, before Mesut Ozil flew straight up the other end to force Lukasz Fabianski into making a decent save....

Jamie Vardy’s pace caused problems early in the game and the Leicester man had the first clear chance. Henderson looped a ball from outside his boot setting Vardy on the chase. Skrtel had a 3-yard head start but Vardy still got there first and toe-poked it straight at the keeper. It was all England in the first half and their right-hand side caused some real problems for the Slovakians in defence....

Belgium’s victory over the Danes fires them to the top of the Group B table and secures them a place in the knockout stages of Euro 2020. Meanwhile, Kasper Hjulmand’s team are yet to record a point and sit bottom of their group.

Promoting and relegating teams is “natural within the football environment,” European Club Association chairman Andrea Agnelli said Tuesday after a meeting of about 200 member clubs. Currently, the Europa League winner qualifies for the next season’s Champions League. The winner of a third-tier competition launching in 2021 will also be promoted to the next Europa League. “It is certainly something that is logical to an open system. It might be logical internationally,” said the Juventus president, signaling talks on the issue in the coming months....

Leicester landed the most difficult draw against Rennes, which is current in fifth place in France’s Ligue 1....

But Khamenei is not some private internet crank who can be contained with a harsh statement or by removing his blue checkmark. He is, literally, the “supreme leader” of a clerical regime whose repeated genocidal threats against Israel are backed up with an advanced nuclear program and a four-decade-long military and terrorist campaign against the Jewish state. Europe has thus a historical and strategic duty to back U.S. diplomatic efforts at the United Nations (U....

Sadly, if a film is lacking in every other element, the twist won’t do much. This problem often arises when the twist is what the filmmakers have centered their movie around. It’s really obvious to the viewers when watching a film that does this because it’s usually a good/scary twist, but the rest of the film is incoherent or boring. Horror films that do this are constantly coming out, but one notable example is the brand new Netflix horror/thriller Aftermath....

The popular ESPN host dropped a few bombs on his employer’s competitor — Fox Sports. In a recent interview with The Washington Post, Van Pelt dogged the network’s ratings in comparison to the company that has branded itself as “the worldwide leader in sports.” For Fox, which has made a habit of hiring former ESPN talent such as Jason Whitlock, Colin Cowherd and, most recently, Skip Bayless, the facts hurt far more than fiction....

Vrabel’s house seems fine. He’s got a nice setup in front of him with a laptop and a large monitor. But the action going on behind Vrabel needs some explaining. There are two people behind him.
