This was unlike the demolition of Arsenal in the same fixture last year. The Gunners then were seldom at the races. However, this year Chelsea provided a sterner test, and were unlucky perhaps to get more. They were resolute and more engaging than their North London counterparts in 2018, and it seems their manager Maurizio Sarri had a game plan, of sorts. Both sides were at full strength – but the game overall was pretty dull....

In their first UEFA Super Cup final in 14 years, Liverpool will face another Premier League club and UEFA Europa League winners Chelsea in Istanbul.

With three wins in the Super Cup compared to Chelsea’s one, Liverpool have the superior pedigree in the competition.

Tracking data analyzing keywords used on the social network shows a sharp decline in U.S. mood last month—sparked by the global novel coronavirus outbreak then reinforced by the killing of George Floyd and subsequent civil unrest in the U.S. The findings come from the hedonometer—a long-running research tool made to indicate average happiness on the widely-used social network, which is now populated by one in five Americans according to a Pew Research Center survey from last year....

Losing wrestling would’ve had a major impact on India as they’ve won three medals in the last two Olympic games after failing to win any since Khashaba Dadasaheb Jadhav in 1952. Yogeshwar Dutt won the bronze medal at the 60 kg event and Sushil Kumar won the silver medal at the 66 kg event in 2012. Kumar also obtained a bronze medal in 2008 as well. As Dutt and Kumar are 33-years-old going into the 2016 Olympics, getting the younger talent started would continue India’s development of wrestling talent....

The Pro Bowl is an annual all-star event that occurs the week before the Super Bowl and features the best players in the game taking the field against each other in a glorified exhibition match. While the score doesn’t usually matter, it is the only place to find the league’s best players all at the same time. This is a strange season however, and after some success with a Virtual Madden NFL 21 tailgate party that featured celebrities, athletes, and streamers hanging out, the NFL looks to be trying this again....

While the 2021 draft is done and dusted, it’s never too early to have a look at the players tipped to shine in the next draft class. There’s already so much speculation around who the top pick could be. As with this time last year, sometimes speculation ends up being bang on the money, with emphasis on the “sometimes.” The 2022 NFL Draft class isn’t even set in stone yet, considering juniors and redshirt players don’t have to declare until after the 2021 NCAA College Football season....

The top tiers of the planned 45,000-seat stadium in southern Qatar will be modular and the organisers say that the capacity of the stadium will be brought down to 20,000; they have also pledged to remove, donate and re-construct the remaining 25,000 seats in countries that need sporting infrastructure. “This is an important step for us as we deliver on our innovative hosting concept,” Hassan al-Thawadi, Secretary General for the Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee, said in the statement....

If it’s true that the remake is launching later this year, it seems like an odd move for Sony, especially given the reaction to the leaked news. The Last of Us as a franchise is one of gaming’s most beloved, particularly the first game, but the company might be oversaturating players with new Last of Us content if the rumored roadmap for 2022 is to be believed.
