Speculation suggests that a €222 million deal could be on the cards, with PSG prepared to meet the buy-out clause in the Brazilian’s contract. Neymar, Coutinho & Mbappe all to leave - 7/4 Barca are prepared to let Neymar make the final call on his future, although prominent figures at the club – such as president Josep Maria Bartomeu and team-mates Luis Suarez and Andres Iniesta – have called on the 25-year-old to stay....

Local club Lanus also captured the hearts of the city this year with an heroic run to their first Copa Libertadores final, although their dreams of the title were shattered by Gremio. But another sort of history was made in 2017 just around the corner. David Olaoye made his debut for El Porvenir in the fourth-tier Primera C against Berazetegui, becoming, in the process, the first-ever English national to play professionally in Argentina....

Bet on Barcelona to win CL PSG are willing to meet the €222 million release clause to sign the Brazilian attacker, who is interested in leaving Camp Nou to increase his chances of winning the Ballon d’Or. Unai Emery stated that, as one of “the top five in the world”, Neymar is the type of signing they need in their pursuit of a first Champions League crown. However, Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu and technical secretary Robert Fernandez have stated, however, that UEFA’s Financial Fair Play rules would make it impossible for any club to meet the release clause....

Game Rant’s Andrew Dyce reviews NHL 12 If you’re a hockey fan, then there’s a good chance that your calendar has already been marked for the release of NHL 12 for months now. While some sports franchises leave fans wondering if each year’s installment changes enough to make a purchase worthwhile, that’s never been the case with NHL. EA Sports has made a habit out of advancing and innovating with each passing year, and NHL 12 is no exception....

Skating, Shooting, AI, Goalies and Graphics have all been tweaked and refined for NHL 13, and after playing the game at E3 2012, it’s hard to disagree with the team’s assessment. Much attention has been given to the inclusion of the all new True Performance Skating system, seeking to bring the intensity, explosiveness, and trade-offs that professional hockey players experience with every shift to home consoles. Seeing the game in action proved just how many subtle differences have resulted from the move toward even more realistic physics - so many that fans may not notice just how much the core gameplay has been changed at first glance....

A few players, such as Minnesota Wild forward Mats Zuccarello and Columbus Blue Jackets forward Pierre-Luc Dubois, seem to think they are rated lower than they should be. Zuccarello (84 overall) expressed humorous discontent that his former New York Rangers teammate Mika Zibanejad is rated higher than him in this year’s game. Dubois, meanwhile, made reference to “The Office,” asking EA Sports to . . . estimate him. Vegas Golden Knights forward Mark Stone poked fun at his former Senators teammate Brady Tkachuk (82 overall), advising Tkachuk to ask EA Sports to cover his head with a helmet....

Ginsburg passed away Friday at the age of 87 after a battle with pancreatic cancer. During her tenure on the U.S. Supreme Court, Ginsburg was an outspoken advocate of women’s rights including the right to have an abortion. Henderson claimed that Ginsburg represented a “lion spirit” within the court system that God wanted to be removed, Right Wing Watch’s video showed. Henderson said he told a meeting of Washington, D....

For the No Nuance November trend, a number of TikTokkers have shared their mostly benign hot takes. Author and social media personality Hank Green gained over 3 million views when he shared a No Nuance November post explaining how he believes that drinking juice isn’t healthier than drinking soda. Green and many others have used TikTok’s stitch feature to include a description of the challenge (“Post your hot takes with no context and run”) by a user named @ediblesrex, who rapid-fired a bunch of hot takes touching on a variety of subjects, including “becoming a social media celebrity before 21 will give you brain damage....

The pair made their debuts for Barca in the 2004-05 season, although Deco arrived having lifted the Champions League trophy with Jose Mourinho’s Porto in the previous campaign. Together at Camp Nou they won two La Liga titles, two Supercopas de Espana and the Champions League in 2006 – ending a 14-year wait for the Catalan club to get their hands on European football’s top honour for the second time....

The video was posted Saturday and has been viewed 3 million times. It was published by Steven Liang, who goes by the handle @mrpanda1688, and includes footage of numerous brown paper bags stacked on top of each other on the floor because DoorDash drivers—as well as drivers of competitors—allegedly didn’t want to pick them up because they weren’t tipped on the orders. DoorDash is viewed by most as a service akin to “normal” pizza delivery or similar, where individuals cut the customer’s physical trip to pick up food in exchange for a fee....

MORE: Who will be All-Star reserves? | Best ever by attitribute, per NBA 2K16 It’s rare but not unprecedented for game developers to drop ratings of players based on things that are not necessarily related to their actual athletic skill level. In 2010, NBA 2K dropped Tony Parker’s loyalty rating from 87 to 0 after news came out of alleged infidelity. The other significant news out of the update is that the gap has widened at the top of the player ratings between Stephen Curry and LeBron James....

We’ve previously been able to confirm the best team in league history, the 1995-96 Bulls, who prevailed over both the 1985-86 Celtics and the 2016-17 Warriors. Now, it’s time to examine which current NBA franchise reigns supreme when represented by the best players from their respective pasts. “NBA 2K18” REVIEW: New gameplay, features allow latest edition to shine The Bulls are not the favorites in this tournament. Rather, it’s the Lakers and Celtics who have received a bye in the first round....

Archie Baldwin Vs Harper Dell - The Basics Towards the end of your college run in the MyCareer story of NBA 2K21, Junior will have the opportunity to sign with two different Agents to further his career. The advantages and disadvantages of each are clearly explained in-game, but here’s a recap of the differences for those who are just starting out. Archie Baldwin Close Family Friend: He’s been there from the beginning, so you can build on an already good working relationship, AND you can help him establish himself in the NBA....

Game Rant’s Anthony Taormina reviews NBA Jam: On Fire EditionIf you’ve ever uttered the words “Boomshakalaka” while shooting a piece of wadded-up paper into a trash bin, then you have undoubtedly felt the influence of NBA Jam. A long time staple of the arcade sports genre, Jam was the game everyone flocked to for over-the-top dramatics and witty commentating. It took some time for NBA Jam to resurface but when it did, with last year’s Wii iteration (and subsequent PS3 and Xbox 360 ports), players around the world were reminded of how incredibly fun the series can be - even if that installment was a thin retail game offering....

Ziva’s return to NCIS has left fans wondering who else will return to the cast, with former stars like Tony DiNozzo actor Michael Weatherly hinting that they may make another appearance in the series. When Does ‘NCIS’ Season 17 Start on CBS? The CBS release date for the NCIS Season 17 premiere is Tuesday, September 24 at 8pm ET/7pm CT. As usual, Tuesday will be NCIS day on the network, with the original series followed by the New Orleans spin-off at 10pm ET/9pm CT....

In some senses, her exit from NCIS was anticipated. When she signed up for procedural, the Coyote Ugly actor’s contract was for three years, and came to an end this year. So rather than leave the show as Pauley Perrette did in 2017, she is simply not renewing her contract. The two-time Golden Globe nominee (for A History of Violence and The Cooler) already has a new project that she is working on, which might also be a reason her time as Jack Sloane is coming to an end....

Alonso didn’t start the game on Wednesday (January 4) night but was brought on for Hector Bellerin in the 83rd minute with his side leading 3-2. Within three minutes of his arrival, Intercity equalised on a swift break. The former Chelsea man gave the ball away in the build-up to the move and was also extremely slow to track back, with the Blaugrana light on defence. While he didn’t do too much wrong in extra time, Barcelona fans expressed their displeasure with Alonso on social media after the game....

The Germany No.1 sustained an injury to his left foot and was forced to undergo surgery earlier in the week that will see him sidelined until January, leaving Sven Ulreich to keep goal. PSG to win Over 2.5 goals 13/10 The 29-year-old former Stuttgart shot-stopper is liable to be given the responsibility of the gloves when the Bundesliga champions tackle Paris Saint-Germain in France on Wednesday, and ex-goalkeeper Maier does not believe that Unai Emery’s side will pay any particular attention as to who is between the sticks for FCB....

[HTML1] There’s a certain stigma that surrounds annual sport games. The biggest publisher behind this trend is EA Sports and its menagerie of licensed titles such as Madden and FIFA. Traditionally, developers add a handful of new features each year to make investing in the latest iteration a viable option, but this year’s NHL entry has implemented some more significant changes thanks to the extra power of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One....

However, those EA Access members are discovering that NHL 15 is, shall we say, light on the fixings. Where last year’s game was a genuine pinnacle for the franchise, boasting almost every conceivable feature and mode under the sun, NHL 15 is decidedly light on content. While the idea of a sports game missing a feature there or a feature here is not entirely unheard of, it’s the fact that NHL 15’s missing modes were included with last year’s game that’s the most perplexing....
