Ola Kamara opened the scoring for the hosts by the sixth minute before Jose Artur and Justin Meram made it 3-0 later on. Former Barcelona striker David Villa pulled one back for the visitors in the 78th minute. Late in additional time, Afful latched on to a pass from Meram and went past five defenders before calmly slotting home his effort to restore his side’s three-goal lead. “Credit goes to all the guys,” Afful said....
But not all viewers are sure that Sahar’s star turn translates as progress in women’s rights. “This superficial show is light-years away from the reality of most Afghan women, who still live in miserable conditions,” says Maleha Ahmadzai, a Kabul schoolteacher. “Her presence may even become an excuse for traditional parents to stop girls [from] going to school.” Others fear that Sahar will meet the fate of music-show host Shaima Rezayee, who was gunned down in Kabul in 2005 after the conservative clerics’ council protested her Western-style dress and uncovered head....

The only other time came in 2004-05, when Phoenix (from 29 to 62 wins), Chicago (from 23 to 47) and Washington (from 25 to 45) all got themselves turned around in a hurry. But for folks in Charlotte, Phoenix and Portland, it’s worth mentioning what happened to those teams next: All three lost ground the following year, and none made any improvement in their postseason results. That’s a common trait among teams that show sudden and dramatic improvement....

When NFL teams get desperate at the position, they tend to reach. Or mortgage portions of their future. Or sometimes simply blow it. Of course, in many other instances, they nail it, from top overall selections Eli Manning, Cam Newton and Andrew Luck to wise lower picks on the first night such as Ben Roethlisberger, Matt Ryan and, yes, Aaron Rodgers. It really is a crapshoot. “Everybody’s draft board is set up differently, and when I recite to you all the best available player in this draft for the Cleveland Browns organization, this was the best available player,” general manager John Dorsey said of taking Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield of Oklahoma to begin proceedings....

Abadon is one of the most unique and terrifying characters not just in All Elite Wrestling but in all of wrestling. Due to her zombie-like persona, she has often been compared to one of the most successful supernatural characters of the last decade, The Fiend, a character portrayed by former WWE star Bray Wyatt. A few hours back, a Twitter user pointed out that Abadon is nothing but a copycat of The Fiend gimmick....

Well, in most cases, you would. Evidently, if the country in question is India and you are Bengaluru FC’s Rahul Shankar Bheke, you cannot be that sure. It’s really a shock, again, that Bheke has been ignored despite doing the very most that any footballer can to convince the ones making the selection for the national team. With absolutely no disrespect meant though, it is just what you can expect from Stephen Constantine....
