New Delhi, March 22 (IANS) Holi brought good news for I-League clubs across the country as All India Football Federation (AIFF) General Secretary Kushal Das informed them that President Praful Patel has agreed to meet them between April 10-15. This comes after the agitating clubs said they will reconsider withdrawing from the Super Cup if the President met them. “I am sending this communication on behalf of Patel. He will meet the clubs to discuss the road map for Indian football as communicated to me by the clubs on 20th March between 10th to 15th April (tentatively 14th April),” Das wrote in an e-mail to the clubs, accessed by IANS....

The tennis match, which could be one of the last in the American’s long and illustrious career, has generated plenty of media attention — and understandably so. Kovinic herself spoke about the clamor surrounding the match, saying it made her feel both happy and slightly stressed. Tennis fans online, however, have noticed some tasteless media coverage leading up to this highly-anticipated first-round US Open encounter. Several, including the likes of Kovinic’s fellow WTA player Ellen Perez, took to Twitter to slam London-based news agency Reuters for one particular piece, entitled “Kovinic who?...

Strickland was the NXT North American Champion during his days on the Black and Gold brand. Now in AEW, he has his eyes set on the world title currently held by Hangman Adam Page. He jokingly stated that he prefers the world title over the TNT Championship because it is more sanitary, a reference to a bizarre picture posted by Tay Conti a few weeks back. Speaking to WhatCulture, Swerve Strickland said the following:...

Manchester City striker Aguero underwent an arthroscopy after aggravating a knee problem during their derby defeat to rivals Manchester United, Pep Guardiola citing a challenge from Ashley Young that went unpunished by referee Martin Atkinson for the injury. The striker was included in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year on Wednesday after scoring 30 times in all competitions for newly crowned champions City. But D’Agostino doubts whether the 29-year-old will be fully fit for the World Cup, with Argentina opening their campaign in Russia on June 16 against Iceland....

For years, SEGA has touted each installment of the Alien gaming franchise (most recently Aliens vs. Predator and Aliens: Colonial Marines) as a return to gaming glory - a title that would finally match the innovation and excitement of Rebellion Developments’ Aliens Vs. Predator (from 1999). However, each new chapter proved to be an underwhelming addition, thanks to a wide range of problems, unable to tap the potential within the Alien movie and comic book universe....

In the world of Alien: Isolation, the developers at Creative Assembly have cast off expectations of space marines and machine guns, instead dropping players into the role of Amanda Ripley. It is Amanda’s goal to seek out evidence of her mother Ellen’s disappearance, but she soon finds herself following in her mother’s footsteps, running for her life from a lone Xenomorph in a crippled and isolated space station. Besides promising the kind of slower-paced, more challenging action of Ridley Scott’s first film, that premise also implies that players have some sense of what to expect (having watched Sigourney Weaver survive the ordeal already)....

What makes Alien: Isolation so unique is its approach. Much like the Alien films, Isolation keeps things intimate, putting players up against a single xenomorph. There’s no endless horde and there’s little room for error as a result. What’s more, the title reportedly has some deep ties to those Alien films with a story that follows Ellen Ripley’s daughter Amanda. Needless to say, Alien: Isolation has a lot of promise, and could be one of the titles to keep an eye on....

This week on American Idol the Top 24 have been competing at Disney’s Aulani Resort in Hawaii, hoping to impress the judges and secure the audience’s vote at home to make it to the Top 20, then, hopefully, the highly-prized Top 14. Platinum ticket winner and fan-favorite Kenedi Anderson continued to impress the judges and audiences at home with her performance of Christina Perri’s “Human” on Monday. Sadly, fans of the 17-year-old were dealt a devastating blow shortly after her performance....

Mane, 30, ended his six-year stint at Anfield in June last year as he sealed a move to Bayern Munich in a deal worth up to £35 million. Operating primarily on the left flank, he registered 120 goals and 48 assists in 269 matches for the Reds, helping them lift six trophies. Liverpool, on the other hand, are currently languishing in ninth place in the 2022-23 Premier League table with just 28 points from 18 games....

The quote is far from exact. The source of the meme image comes from the Golden Times, a Japanese news site that put up screenshots of an interview with Miyazaki in 2014. In the screenshots, the subtitles read a much longer and more intellectual version of “Anime was a mistake.” Instead, Miyazaki criticized how people (most particularly women) are portrayed in anime. He basically called it unrealistic and part of his explanation translated to, “It’s produced by humans who can’t stand looking at other humans....

The Everton forward calls time on his England career at the age of 31, having racked up a number of records during his Three Lions career.

Aakash Chopra highlighted that four players have played more matches than Shreyas Iyer at No....

If Belgium’s performance was as gripping and well-structured as an Oscar-winning classic, Neymar and Brazil were the antithesis, full of emotion, often desperate and lacking in substance, the Selecao’s display possessing parallels with a Golden Raspberry-grabbing picture rather than one worthy of an Academy Award. Talk surrounding Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio’s “actor” accusation aimed at Neymar dominated much of the build-up. While Osorio of course meant the word in the context of Neymar’s frequent theatrical over-reactions on the pitch, sadly for Brazil the world’s most expensive player did little to hush his critics....

[HTML1] There seems to be good news for fans of the Alien movie series, as Sega has finally confirmed the development of Alien: Isolation; a survival horror title based on the investigations of Amanda Ripley, the daughter of the film franchise’s hero Ellen Ripley. The publisher isn’t shying away from the disappointing Aliens: Colonial Marines either, releasing a new gameplay trailer, screenshots, and a developer diary explaining why Creative Assembly believes Isolation, and not a generic space marine shooter, is the game that fans of the original film have been waiting for....

At the initial inquisition, Gearbox’s response was that there would be no playable female characters – a revelation that raised a lot of red flags – but have since explained that was only in regards to the game’s playable E3 demo, not the finished product. This response, however, stimulated a sizeable fan backlash, which forced Gearbox to reveal one of their unannounced features a little early. As expected, Gearbox has confirmed female characters will be playable in Aliens: Colonial Marines’ co-op mode, and they will be somewhat customizable....
