Wherever you stand on Beckham, there is a moment in time that unequivocally created his star, and it came almost three years ago, during another Sunday Night Football matchup between the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys. Beckham’s status for the Giants’ opener against Dallas this Sunday is in doubt; the latest update has him at a 50-50 chance of playing. But on Nov. 23, 2014, in Beckham’s seventh career pro game, Beckham sprinted down the right sideline, his path taking him toward the pylon, and with Brandon Carr pulling him to the ground, Beckham pinched a ball out of the air with one hand, elevating his status from ’notable rookie’ to ‘global phenomenon....

Bale is in China for the four-nation China Cup, starting on Thursday against the hosts, which also includes Uruguay and Czech Republic. The 28-year-old has struggled with injuries and form in Madrid, though he is expected to feature in Nanning following his goalscoring performance in last week’s 6-3 win over Girona in LaLiga. Giggs is preparing to take charge of his first match as Wales boss and the Manchester United legend was asked if he was under commercial pressure to play Bale....

Fans explain pro-Wenger banner Wenger’s contract is due to expire at the end of the season and it remains to be seen if he will agree to a new deal. Some supporters have been calling for the 67-year-old’s departure in recent months following yet another disappointing season, but West Brom manager Tony Pulis claimed this week Wenger intends to stay put. Giroud has also had his say on his compatriot’s future, hoping Wenger will extend his stay in north London....

Ghost of Tsushima follows the story of Jin Sakai, a samurai warrior who is on a journey to save the island of Tsushima from the invasion of the Mongol Empire. During this adventure, Jin faces many different opponents as he fights his way to his goal.

Boss Tanuki will reveal that the missing Tanuki have disguised themselves as inanimate objects in the wake of the Visitor invasion, making them a bit tricky to find. As Ghostwire: Tokyo players will soon learn, they can be hiding just about anywhere.

The 2022 World Cup will be the last edition of the competition to run in its current format as FIFA shall expand the number of participants from 32 to 48. ‘We didn’t have a personal problem’ - Mata happy under Mourinho at Man Utd “No matter what happens, 2022 will leave a lasting legacy because it is the first World Cup to be organised in the Middle East.

The Nile crocodile is rumored to have killed over 300 people and has earned legendary status in the area along the Rusizi River. Crocodile specialist Marc Gansuana told Newsweek that Gustave has been known about for some time, and the National Geographic have found records of his attacks on villagers dating back to 1987. However, he was only formally identified and named in 2001 by herpetologist Patrice Faye. Gustave is thought to be one of the largest crocodiles in Africa, stretching nearly 20 feet long and weighing approximately 2,000 pounds....

Geologists and paleontologists at California State University, Chico, which has partnered with the district to excavate, identify, preserve and store the fossils, anticipate that conducting a complete inventory could take years. But they’re thrilled at the prospect of building on existing knowledge of prehistoric North America. While walking last July through the Mokelumne River watershed, a drainage basin in the Sierra Nevada foothills that provides water to 1.4 million Bay Area residents, Greg Francek noticed a petrified tree protruding from the mud....

That’s why the team waited 40 minutes after the new league year started to announce the trade was official on Twitter. In comparison, the Browns tweeted about the deal being official two minutes after the new league year started at 4:00 p.m. and have tweeted about him seven times after within the first hour (and we’re not even counting the retweets from players/sub accounts about the news).

The birds came upon the San Francisco marathon about an hour before it ended at 3:50 a.m. ET (12:50 a.m. PT) Saturday with the Giants victorious, 3-2. In the spirit of not dragging out things further, a few quick points about the game: — Giants 38-year-old backup catcher Erik Kratz drove in the winning run on a fielder’s choice grounder in the bottom of the 18th — after being behind the plate for all 265 of his team’s pitches on the night....

Nevertheless, they did a marvelous job of imitating the — dare I say — iconic opening credits to the classic ’90s TV show. Not only that, but the reigning World Series champions are hosting their own “Full Clubhouse Night” on Sept. 30.

Daniel Jones and New York are coming off a bye. Tom Brady and Tampa Bay are coming off consecutive losses to New Orleans and Washington sandwiching a bye. The Giants need a win badly also to improve the future outlook for Jones, coach Joe Judge, offensive coordinator Jason Garrett and general manager Dave Gettleman, among others in the organization. The Buccaneers need a win just to re-establish themselves as the team to beat (and repeat) in the NFC....

Having signed a new two-year contract at the end of last season, Wenger has come under intense scrutiny this term amid another disappointing campaign. Arsenal go into Sunday’s home match against Stoke City in sixth, with the 13-point gap between themselves and fourth-placed Tottenham offering little hope of Champions League qualification through the Premier League. Wenger – whose side are through to the Europa League quarter-finals – continues to face regular calls to walk away from a significant proportion of the fan base, but Silva does not think the manager is necessarily the problem....

We defined a “gimmick match” as, in any way, adding a rule/stipulation to or removing a rule from a match, changing the physical environment of a match, changing the conditions which define a “win”, or in any way moving past the simple requirement of two men/women/teams whose contest must end via a single pinfall, submission, count out, or disqualification. We’ve spent the last few articles looking at matches featuring strange structures, stranger rules, and Ric Flair taking abuse, but they’ve mostly turned out to be enjoyable experiences; as with our first venture into World Championship Wrestling territory, let’s dig in to a dud combining all of those things: The Doomsday Cage Match from WCW Uncensored 1996, featuring Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage versus almost every heel on the WCW roster, namely the Dungeon of Doom and the Four Horsemen, aka The Alliance to End Hulkamania....

Mourinho sent off after Pogba dive The former Tottenham, PSG and Newcastle attacker collapsed in the game, and subsequently swallowed his tongue. Such was the severity of the collapse, paramedics had to revive the Frenchman with a defibrillator, and Ginola has now revealed the full extent of his near-death experience. “The players thought I was joking but then my friend said, ‘Look at him, he’s not okay, he is not fooling around’, Ginola told The Sun....

Last season, Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. smashed a foul ball into the stands, and a young girl, 2, was struck in the head. The girl was rushed to the hospital with a reported skull fracture, but was expected to recover. But new details emerged, as the family’s attorney told the Houston Chronicle that the girl could suffer long-term, debilitating effects. “She (the child) has an injury to a part of the brain, and it is permanent,” Richard Mithoff told the Chronicle....

It is extraordinary that with a set of forward line options that includes Van Persie Giroud Gervinho Podolski Oxlade Chamberlain Walcott Ryo and with two players (Chamakh and Park) expected to leave or go on loan the media is still talking about who Arsenal will buy in the forward line. Maybe it is to cover up the “facts” that they have given us about Giroud in the past. For example…...

Debate has raged over whether Pogba merits a place in midfield, with the Manchester United man failing to convince in recent matches. He was jeered by his own fans during the 3-1 friendly win over Italy and failed to inspire France in an underwhelming 1-1 draw against a youthful United States on Saturday. Deschamps, however, is continuing to back the 25-year-old, telling broadcaster Telefoot it is “very likely” he will be in the starting XI in Kazan on June 16....

While exploring the open world, Jin will come across groups of enemies that can be defeated in many ways. One option is the standoff where Jin engages a foe in Ghost of Tsushima’s cinematic style. Although players can only fight against one opponent this way initially, there is the ‘All in the Wrist’ trophy that requires defeating 5 enemies in one Standoff. Thankfully, this can be done after achieving several different upgrades in-game....
