Bachchan, whose side won the ISL in 2015, was confident that with support pouring in from everywhere, it’s only a matter of time before India established themselves on the global scene. “When I made my entry into the ISL, I said, ‘Give us 10 years and then you will be talking to a very competitive football nation. We are on our way to achieve that. And you never know, with the support from the Premier League, if we can absorb their knowledge, we can export some of our talent to the Premiership as well,” he concluded....

Ancer completed his first round at the Masters thinking he had scored a 1-over-par 73, which placed him tied for 20th heading into the second round. But, after he had completed and turned in his scorecard, officials at Augusta National Golf Club assessed him a two-stroke penalty for a controversial violation on Hole 15. James B. Hyler, chairman of the Masters competition committee, said in a statement that officials reviewed video evidence and saw that Ancer grazed the sand before striking the ball in the Hole 15 bunker....

England boss Gareth Southgate named Abraham along with Blues team-mates Fikayo Tomori and Ross Barkley in his squad and Lampard said all three players “have big smiles on their faces” after impressing for Chelsea. Abraham has scored seven goals in seven Premier League appearances for Chelsea this season and also found the net in his side’s 2-1 win at Lille in the Champions League. Lampard, who scored 29 goals in 106 appearances for England, tipped the 22-year-old forward – who has two caps for the Three Lions – for success at international level, saying of his call-up: “I think it is well deserved....

Southgate will reveal his squad for the upcoming Euro 2020 qualifiers against the Czech Republic and Bulgaria on Thursday. The in-form Abraham would not look out of place after marking his 22nd birthday with an eighth goal of the season in Chelsea’s 2-1 victory at Lille in the Champions League. Abraham won two England caps in a pair of friendlies in November 2017 but remains eligible for a change of allegiance to Nigeria....

While this new Call of Duty: Warzone glitch sounds funny, and on first glance absolutely is, it can actually be quite severe - especially when players are already dealing with a handful of other glitches. For example, one bug is seeing Call of Duty: Warzone players killed as they spawn in, stopping them from even playing the game in the first place. Another is making the battle pass’s final unlock completely broken, as it turns players invisible beyond 100 meters and gives them an unfair advantage....

The Warriors began their campaign with a thumping 9-wicket win against the Maratha Arabians, as Andre Russell’s whirlwind 24-ball 58* with 4 fours and 6 sixes helped his side chase the 89-run target with ease. Pitted against the Qalandars for their second game, Tom Banton’s 28-ball 53* was the highlight of the Qalandars’ batting effort as they set a challenging 113-run target for the Warriors. George Munsey looked like a fish out of the water as he gulped all of 19 balls for just 9 runs before Andre Russell came out to the crease with the Warriors needing 84 runs from 32 balls....

The accord - originally inked in August and expected to be signed off first in December and then in March - is now due to be finalised on April 14, two sources said. The Chinese consortium which has committed to buying AC Milan has, in exchange for the delay, paid 50 million euros in cash to Berlusconi’s family investment vehicle Fininvest this week, the first source said. A further 50 million euros have been guaranteed through securities, the source added....

If you’re a cancer survivor interested in pursuing higher education, here you will find information about academic scholarships specifically for survivors like you. Each organization has criteria that must be met to apply. Some cater to patients or survivors of certain types of cancer, specific age groups or survivors who live in certain areas. The Ulman Foundation The Ulman Foundation scholarship is available for young adult cancer patients and survivors....

With the NFL’s free-agency period officially starting today at 4 p.m. ET, let’s take a look at Super Bowl 50 odds posted at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook just hours before players can sign new contracts. It takes a lot to move futures odds in the NFL. In fact, even with Ndamukong Suh on his way to Miami, the Dolphins’ price to win the Super Bowl remains unchanged from a week ago at 30-to-1....

But many things have changed since 2005, the last time I worked in Iraq. The old, familiar Humvee has morphed into a demented, humpbacked narwhal on wheels, surmounted by an elaborate super-structure enveloping the gunner on the roof. Protruding out front is a device that looks like a square ping-pong paddle with a long, attenuated handle. Called a WARLOCK, it emits electronic countermeasures to block signals that can trigger IEDs....

Criminal charges against the president remain an extremely remote possibility and would probably be challenged as unconstitutional because it might impinge on the Senate’s exclusive right to impeach. But Mrs. Clinton remains potentially vulnerable. Last month, the FDIC’s inspector general concluded that Mrs. Clinton drafted a legal document connected with an Arkansas real estate project known as Castle Grande. The brief, the FDIC said, was intended to “deceive” federal regulators in 1986 and direct $300,000 in questionable commissions to one of Jim McDougal’s associates – and Mrs....

The hitch? The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s rules allow the city to rebuild the St. Bernard sewers only as they were, not to upgrade them into a more modern system that officials want. This regulation on disaster assistance—which authorizes work “on the basis of the design of such facilities as they existed immediately prior to the disaster”—is hindering rebuilding efforts. “President Bush came down here and said we were going to bring back the Gulf Coast … better than before,” Rodriguez says....

The same club which finished 7th in the 2012-]2013 season have not only achieved the objective set at the start of the season of finishing in the Champions League positions but have also mounted a serious challenge for the title. Now, obviously the question that arises is how did that happen? It is a result of the combination of many factors such as managerial changes at other clubs and in contrast, stability at Liverpool....

The capsule is due to launch on an uncrewed test-flight mission to the International Space Station (ISS) that will also serve as a cargo delivery. The launch should have taken place days ago, but engineers encountered a problem with the spacecraft’s valves that meant they didn’t open correctly shortly before a scheduled launch on August 3. As a result, Starliner had to be taken off the launchpad and returned to its hangar....

It all started against West : Remember the West Brom game at Old Trafford, way back at the beginning of the season in 2013. When United conceded the first goal, it was nothing new. What the fans were expecting was a swift response, much in the United way. What they were served was raw capitulation and a lack of fight. Mind you, injuries have plagued every season of United. But capitulation was something new for the Old Trafford faithful....

My advice is: don’t trust anyone who claims the movie is hogwash. And don’t trust Stone either. Movies are, almost by definition, a demagogic art form: they can emotionally persuade you of just about anything, which is precisely why Stone’s movie will be dissected with vehemence. An entire generation of filmgoers is hereafter going to look at these events through Stone’s prism. If history is a battlefield, “JFK” has to be seen as a bold attempt to seize the turf for future debate....

But most important, water exercise can be great for your joints and muscles. In fact, a 2014 meta-analysis found that aquatic exercise can help improve pain, quality of life, and your ability to function in your daily life if you are dealing with a musculoskeletal condition. (Back pain is certainly one of these conditions.) The study also found that aquatic exercise confers its benefits onto a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions equally and that the results one might get from engaging regularly with exercise in the pool are comparable to those of land-based exercise....

It was, in fact, the sound of Lawrence v. Texas exploding into politics. The Supreme Court’s decision, a sweeping defense of privacy rights for gays and lesbians, has created the first new hot-button issue of the ‘04 campaign. Frist, now the Republican Senate leader, was seeking to win points with the GOP’s Bible belt cultural base, for whom cutting taxes and waging war do not eclipse the importance of their view of family values....

When he reviewed Iraq military memoirs on NPR recently, Washington Post reporter Thomas Ricks pointed out an instance of incredible combat leadership. During one scene described in a Marine officer’s book, he was checking his platoon’s perimeter fighting holes at night in Afghanistan when he came upon Marine Gen. James Mattis also checking on the men. As commander of all Marines in Afghanistan, Mattis soundly proved the extent of his compassion for the average grunt....

Pollock, 31, is dealing with an infected right elbow. The veteran underwent surgeries to repair a broken growth plate in the elbow in 2010 and again in 2016. MORE: Watch ‘ChangeUp,’ a new MLB live whiparound show on DAZN According to the Los Angeles Times, Pollock was set to undergo an exploratory procedure on the elbow Tuesday night. If the screw from the 2016 procedure is in place, he would likely be out just a few weeks....
