‘‘We hope to play our game and not allow Macau to play theirs,’’ National Coach Stephen Constantine said on arrival. “We are here to win but Macau will also be playing to win. Every Team plays to win,’’ Constantine maintained. ‘‘I feel Macau were unlucky against Kyrgyz Republic when they played away. They should have scored a couple and are a Team who are quite brilliant on the counter attack....
The match saw the names of three Indian players on the score sheet as skipper Sunil Chhetri, Udanta Singh and Lenny Rodrigues ensured a first leg advantage for the home side. After the game, the losing coach Hwang Yong Song spoke about his failed plan to keep the Bengaluru attack at bay and praised the fitness levels of his opponents. “We came to Bangalore for the game.

Coach Luis Norton de Matos fielded his team in a 4-2-3-1 formation with Rahim Ali upfront as the lone striker. Quite surprisingly forward Roshan Singh was deployed as the left back. Anwar Ali partnered skipper Sahil Panwar at the heart of the defence. The hosts took charge of the game from the very beginning. They came very close to score as early as in the fourth minute. Hamad Alabdan dribbled past two defenders inside the penalty box and attempted a shot at goal but the ball went inches above the crossbar....

British military chiefs have warned that some troops are on the brink of exhaustion and NATO’s top military commander, Gen. James Jones, says he will urge member nations to send reinforcements when defense chiefs of staff meet in Warsaw this weekend to discuss the matter. “While some of [the violence] is predictable,” Jones said Thursday, “we should recognize we are a little bit surprised at the level of intensity, and that the opposition in some areas are not relying on traditional hit-and-run tactics....
A second period of independence is already underway. Pro-democracy groups in at least two dozen African countries are calling for economic reform and an end to autocratic systems that breed corruption and aggravate poverty. The end of the cold war undermined Marxist regimes in Angola, Mozambique and Ethiopia, where a rebel offensive last spring forced Lt. Col. Mengistu Haile Mariam to flee. For many African nations on the cusp of change, two paths seemed possible: open elections as in Benin and Cape Verde, where opposition candidates have dislodged longtime strongmen; or the violent disintegration that befell Liberia, Somalia and now Zaire, where unrest threatens the regime of President Mobutu Sese Seko....
Two years ago the cultural essayist Kurt Andersen argued that HBO had become what PBS should be: a safe haven for creativity in American television, where quality and daring, not ratings, determine a show’s fate. At the moment, however, the premium-cable powerhouse is suffering through a rare stretch of the blues. In early May, with the channel already bracing for the June 10 departure of “The Sopranos,” another gut punch came out of nowhere: Chris Albrecht, HBO’s beloved, Midas-like CEO, was forced to resign after an alleged booze-fueled physical altercation with his girlfriend in Las Vegas....
The Freehold Regional High School District, NJ.com reported, will have no in-person classes when school resumes on September 10. Superintendent Charles B. Sampson shared a letter on the district’s page this Wednesday, detailing the decision. Sampson began the note by mentioning how the district was preparing for a reopening for months with hybrid learning in mind. New health and safety standards were put in place, which included “temperature scanning devices, personal protective equipment, reconfigured classrooms, touchless fixtures in bathrooms and high touch areas, and effective cleaning equipment....
Biden campaigned heavily on being the leader America needs amid a crisis such as the pandemic and having a plan that would control outbreak and return American life to normalcy. However, his initial vaccine timeline fell in line with Trump’s, and some have called out Democrats for being hypocrites amid his decision to halt travel from South Africa, where a concerning new strain has been found. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday criticized Biden for pushing his “master plan” on the campaign trail and then changing tune once taking office....
After a meeting with Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) on Thursday, Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II, co-chair of the Poor People’s Campaign, told reporters that activists would protest against the senator in West Virginia, and also demonstrate against Sen. Sinema (D-AZ) in her home state. Speaking alongside low wage West Virginians who also met with Manchin, Barber said the pair were “betraying” the promises made by the Democratic Party ahead of the presidential election, and the subsequent Georgia runoff elections....
While speaking with Newsweek, Howard Greenberg of the Greenberg Law Firm in New York said “in all likelihood,” the rifle would be returned to Rittenhouse following the not guilty verdict. “Yes, no question about it,” Greenberg said when asked again if the rifle will be returned to Rittenhouse. Greenberg added that evidence is often returned to defendants after a not guilty verdict is reached. Rittenhouse was initially accused of carrying the AR-15 style firearm unlawfully during the Kenosha riots following the police shooting of Jacob Blake, but during his trial, Judge Bruce Schroeder dismissed the misdemeanor gun possession charge and said that he was in lawful possession of the gun....
Openers Azhar Ali and Shan Masood survived the morning session after Pakistan won the toss and opted to bat Thursday, and lifted the total to 75 before Pat Cummins trigged a top-order collapse with a wicket on the last ball of the 33rd over. Masood had faced 97 balls for his 27 runs before playing inside the line and edging to Steve Smith at second slip, having edged through a vacant third slip between two fielders earlier in the over....

However, AEW never falls short in producing an action-packed contest. Moreover, a few segments have made tonight’s Dynamite newsworthy. That said, we’ll now go down to positives and negatives takes from the episode. If you disagree with the reviewer’s opinion, do let us know in the comments sections....
Former WWE star Jack Swagger also made his debut in All Elite Wrestling when he made his presence known as part of the main event match between The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega who were up against Chris Jericho and LAX. AEW has had quite the reputation throughout their last few shows when it comes to botches and mistakes, so it’s not that much of a surprise that their debut as a TV show on TNT included many botches as well....
Moxley will face-off against another former WWE star on this week’s episode of Dynamite, facing Shawn Spears, fka Tye Dillinger, in a singles match.

Considering the list has several former WWE Superstars in the mix, it could be anyone. In case you didn’t know Starrcast was launched by Conrad Thompson as a fan convention. The first Starrcast debuted between Aug 28, 2018, and Sept 02, 2018. It was held to coincide with ALL IN, which was held on Sept 01, 2018. Much like a comic book convention such as comic con, fans can interact with their favorite wrestlers....
One of the remarkable things about AEW star Danhausen is that he has an innate ability to capture people’s attention and generate unexpected humor out of them. Danhausen already caught the attention of Conan O’Brien, inducing laughs from him and even catching the attention of The Rock. In one of Danhausen’s many comedy skits, he’s seen reviewing The Rock’s ZOA energy drink, in which, after drinking it, he turned into a turtleneck and gold chain version of himself, which caught the attention of The Great One....
Currently, Ring of Honor (ROH) is dealing with the recent Kelly Kline situation which has not put the company in the best of light, as she was fired from the company. Fightful now alleges that Britt Baker’s departure from the company was also handled very poorly. Baker had over half-dozen dates to fulfill with the company and that they were cut once it was revealed that she signed with AEW....
