“I have never faced [such a situation] in professional football. ISL is a great league and it doesn’t deserve matches like today. Today was an incredible day. I have never seen a team warm up in their casual gear. “It’s not good as a spectacle. We spent the entire day at the airport with nothing to eat and nowhere to rest. And we had to come here running as otherwise, we would have lost three points....

Clearly, Roca was being careful in the first leg against a side which was lethal on the counters. And after the 0-0 draw in the first leg, both teams are in a position where they have to score to win. Bengaluru FC will be looking towards their star forwards Miku and Sunil Chhetri to fire but the onus will also be on Udanta Singh who is expected to start. The 21-year-old has not really come to the party for the Blues in terms of goals this season and as a right-sided forward in a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1, one is expected to contribute to the goalscoring tally....

Bengaluru FC coach Albert Roca pointed that his side have never conceded two goals from a set-piece and that Dimas Delgado’s injury in the first half affected them. None of his substitutions, namely Victor Perez, Daniel Segovia and Nishu Kumar, worked as they struggled to cope with the physicality of the Tamil Nadu-based club. “Congratulations to Chennaiyin! I am sad as we would have liked to get the trophy for our fans that they deserved....

Kamisa, a guard at the Sharon Center in the Israeli working-class town of Netanya, was on duty this morning when a blast ripped through the entrance of the crowded mall, killing six-including the bomber-and injuring more than 100 others. And in those moments before the explosion, when the events shifted to slow motion, Kamisa says he stared into the eyes of the bomber and saw the void-a robotic gaze, a look that signaled the man was already in the next world....

For the third time in less than one year, Israelis will once again head to the polls—and for the next three months, Israel will continue to be governed by a transitional, caretaker government, and has been operating as such for over a year. While many said it was impossible to believe a third election would be called, in retrospect, it is clear Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had already decided on election night that he would roll the dice again, and work to ensure no government could be formed....

“Israel was created to be the home of any Jew that wants to immigrate to Israel,” Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lior Haiat told Newsweek, “and we’ll be happy to receive any Jew that wants to immigrate from Ukraine to Israel.” It was made clear that this welcome included Zelenskyy, who spoke Friday with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennet. “The two leaders discussed the situation in Ukraine, with an emphasis on the Kiev region,” Bennett’s office said in a readout....

But once you get past the rhetoric, it becomes clear that the Israeli right has no solutions, either. The right in Israel held three core positions: first, that there could never be a Palestinian state (Jordan was the true Palestinian state). Second, that Arafat and the PLO were not legitimate representatives of the Palestinian people and could never be negotiating partners. And finally, that the Jewish settlements in Gaza and on the West Bank would expand indefinitely....

Foreign Minister Yair Lapid suggested Sunday that Israel will work toward international investment in Gaza’s infrastructure in exchange for pressure on the militant group Hamas to recede. “The policy Israel has pursued up until now hasn’t substantially changed the situation,” Lapid told a security conference. “We need to change direction,” he added. The proposal, made in consultation with the U.S. and other allies, has been considered in the past but never executed due to continued conflict and resentment from both Israel and Gaza....

The image, which circulated social media platforms Tuesday, was meant to show how “the culture industry in israel is being shut down because of corona,” according to a now-deleted post by Eurovision star Netta Barzilai. On Monday, government officials issued new restrictions in an effort to curb the rising number of positive coronavirus cases, including the shutdown of event halls, cultural venues, bars and nightclubs. Israel, which was initially praised by world leaders for its swift handling of the virus outbreak, has seen a rapid increase in cases within the last month, after the government had allowed large gatherings to resume in late May....

The protests are to persuade Israel to end its blockade of Gaza, also enforced by Egypt, that strictly limits goods and people from moving in and out of the region. During Wednesday’s protests, Israel’s military said it was using .22 caliber gunfire. Palestinian medics reported at least nine were injured during the demonstration. The event follows a similar one on Saturday in which hundreds of protesting Palestinians stormed Israel’s border fence....

Those are just a few of the programs available on CD-ROMs, one of the computer industry’s hottest new products. “There’s no question that 1993 was the year of the CD-ROM explosion,” says Ken Wasch, executive director of the Software Publishers Association, a trade group. This year, there have been dozens of new titles every month (including some from traditional print publishers, like NEWSWEEK). Major movie studios are also developing CD-ROM titles....

For the fourth consecutive year, Sporting News is honoring Admiral Ackbar from “Star Wars” with a look at the biggest trap games — this time, for our preseason top 25 teams. MORE: SN preseason rankings, All-Americans and more So, what’s a trap? A trap game could be a sandwich game, an untimely visit to unfriendly confines or a simple spoiler that comes at the worst time. Trap games can be sprung at any time — even if we’re always looking for them....

Every president gets to indulge a personal hobby. George Bush set up a horseshoe pit. Gerald Ford built a swimming pool on the South Lawn. Rhodes scholar Clinton has created a private university-with a student body of one and a handpicked faculty. Every few months, in unpublicized sessions, Clinton brings in leading scholars. To cram for last year’s D-Day anniversary, he summoned Eisenhower biographer Stephen Ambrose. To grapple with affirmative action, Clinton noodled with Yale Law professor Paul Gewirtz and the University of Chicago’s William Julius Wilson....

That was the Blue Devils’ last victory against a ranked opponent. Until Saturday. The Blue Devils stunned No. 16 Virginia Tech, 13-10, on Saturday in Blacksburg to improve to 6-2 and snap a streak of 47 consecutive losses to ranked teams. The win also is Duke’s first against a ranked team on the road since 1971. “I’m awfully glad we got an open date,” Duke coach David Cutcliffe said after the win....

"I was on the bench, thank God," Landeskog told Sporting News on Monday. GENTILLE: Impressions from Avs’ shutout of Pens The Avs' 20-year-old captain, naturally, was talking about Roy's three-way throwdown with Anaheim Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau and a Pepsi Center partition on Oct. 5. It came 60 minutes into Roy's first game, when he took exception to what he thought was a knee-on-knee hit delivered to Avs rookie (and No....

“Apocalypse Across the Sky,” recorded on location in Jajouka, a small village with no electricity or running water, is by turns hypnotic and unsettling. The 22-member ensemble sets polyphonous, droning melody lines, played on an oboelike instrument called the ghaita, over dense, circular drumming patterns. Derived from pre-Islamic rites celebrating the god Pan, the music is an evocation of sustained ecstasy. It is chaotic, cacophonous, sometimes at war with itself....

Uribe certainly needed an image boost. Allegations that his government was tied to murderous paramilitary groups (linked to the deaths of hundreds of trade unionists) had eroded support in Congress for the free-trade agreement. In April, former vice president Al Gore had pulled out of an environmental conference in Miami rather than appear with the Colombian president. But Bill Clinton, who had a friendly relationship with Uribe and had long been a free-trade booster, had no such qualms....

He threatens and seeks to subvert Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates. He has destroyed his nation’s longstanding strategic alliance with Israel. He has cast his lot with the Muslim Brotherhood in the Arab world, and with Iran against his Arab enemies. Indeed, Erdogan has effectively appointed himself the head of the Muslim Brotherhood. An associate of his recently published a map of a new Ottoman Empire, or “Greater Turkey”—with Erdogan as sultan....

Mitchell suffered a hamstring injury toward the end of Game 5. If it seriously hampers him, then that should make this series a wrap. The larger question looming is if the relationship between the two stars is worth continuing. There have been moments when they have been on the brink of finally forming some sort of connection. Gobert clinched Utah’s Game 4 win off a perfectly placed lob from Mitchell, showing what could be....

It’s important that President Joe Biden and the leaders in his administration continue to look for ways that can remove undue stresses on the economy and put it in the best position to recover as quickly and as robustly as possible. The best place for them to start is with the trade war that the prior administration started in 2018. Looking for leverage in his trade negotiations with China, former President Donald Trump instituted what is now over $100 billion dollars’ worth of tariffs on more than $350 billion of goods that Americans import from China....
