The friendly match will kick-off at 4:30 PM IST and will take place at Nagoa ground. Goal also understands that the India U-17 team coach Luis Norton de Matos initially wanted the game to be played under floodlights but it was deemed impossible to arrange on such a short notice. The All India Football Federation (AIFF) had invited the likes of Singapore, Malaysia, South Africa and Indonesia to play a game in Bangalore and Goa but the said teams rejected the offer to play India at the last minute....

Deshpande, a US-based NRI, is the first success story of the overseas scouting portal set up by the Sports Authority of India (SAI) and the All India Football Federation (AIFF). The portal has a provision for Indian-origin youngsters living overseas to upload their videos that are then scrutinised by the scouts. A centre-back by trade, Deshpande first was given a trial in Brazil when the team was helmed by Nicolai Adam, but despite impressing him, he wasn’t brought on board as the German was sacked shortly....

On an emotional night for the Young Lions, goals from Rhian Brewster, Morgan Gibbs-White and Marc Guehi in addition to a brace from Phil Foden overturned a two-goal deficit. Speaking after the game on a clearly emotional night for England, coach Steve Cooper exclaimed, “Speechless! Surreal! Will feel a bit better tomorrow after we realize what we have done. Players and the management were fantastic all throughout the tournament. We were 2-0 down in a World Cup final and in my opinion, against the run of play winning the game 5-2 tells you the character of the England players....

While the appellate court affirmed the majority of United States District Court Judge Claudia Wilken’s ruling, including her reasoning that the NCAA has been violating Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act and her decision to allow NCAA members to provide scholarships up to the full cost of attendance, they overruled her decision to allow student-athletes to be compensated up to $5,000 per year for the use of their names, images and likenesses (NIL)....

NEWSWEEK: Why fictionalize “Fast Food Nation”? Richard Linklater: It was kind of Eric [Schlosser]’s idea. I had read the book and didn’t think there was a movie in there for me. But he said, “What if we fictionalized it, make it about these workers?” I’ve been trying to get that point of view for a long time. I was an offshore oil-rig worker for two and a half years. I had crappy jobs....

TikToker Donfarelli posted a clip to his account earlier this month, which has since gone viral, amassing more than 12 million views. It can be seen here. The movie buff records his reactions as he spies inconsistencies in popular films, starting with the 1990 romance starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. The now-familiar plot, which saw Roberts nominated for a slew of awards, tells the story of prostitute Vivian falling for wealthy millionaire, Edward, as he treats her to shopping trips and fancy restaurants....

MORE: Live CFP rankings | Bowl game tracker There are a total of 41 bowl games in the 2022-23 college football season before the CFP championship game. Sporting News has tracked those projections all season, and those changed when No. 11 Utah beat No. 4 USC 47-24 in the Pac-12 championship game. That became more complicated when No. 10 Kansas State beat No. 3 TCU 31-28 in the Big 12 championship game....

“With all the action we’ve taken over the last two weeks, we’ve only got a difference of about $25,000 on straight bets between the two sides (more on Seattle),” said South Point sports books director Bert Osborne. “Our only major risk in the game is with the parlays and teasers, which makes it kind of like a huge Monday night game.” The South Point has no reason to get off pick ’em and will likely be there at kickoff, but the Westgate SuperBook and CG Technologies both moved to Seattle -1 early Sunday morning, and Coast Resorts followed in the afternoon....

2009 WSOP bracelet winner Eric Baldwin, who had earned over $4.3M on the live tournament circuit, is just a few chips shy of the chip lead and should be considered the favorite coming into final table play.

However, there are a few simple steps homeowners can take to cut those increasing bills. Angie Hicks, Chief Customer Officer at home services website Angi and co-founder of Angie’s List, told Newsweek of some hacks she’d recommend doing around the house....

When something makes you laugh, you have to ask yourself, why? In the case of Pierre’s novel, I think it’s because he lets a lot of the hot air out of school shootings. He’s not making fun of high-school students who kill other students and teachers. He’s savaging all the hollow pieties that get preached by suddenly concerned community leaders and media jackals. Vernon Gregory Little is a teenager with the bad luck to be the best friend of a kid who kills a lot of other kids at a school in fictional Martirio, Texas....

That’s why NFL fans try to find pro comparisons for the top prospects in college. When fans think about the players their team might draft, it’s easier to draw comparisons to a current player in the league: Is Aidan Hutchinson one of the next Bosa brothers? Is Sauce Gardner the next Richard Sherman? Every player is unique. But based on their college stats, combine results and size, there are ways to compare players as college prospects....

Since when did a taste for data become something to brag about in a race for the Republican presidential nomination? The answer: ever since it became clear, even to most Republicans, that the term “Bush administration” was an oxymoron. A concatenation of crises convinced most of the country that the skydecker in the White House doesn’t know—or much care—about the actual operation of the federal government. With rare exceptions, GOP ‘08 candidates adhere to Bush’s warrior theory of the world....

Democratic Rep. Jim Cooper of Tennessee is a “huge finance wonk,” and the way to win him over is by “giving Cooper a role in policy discussion.” The route to D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty’s heart is a spot on your “national leadership team” and a role as a “national surrogate” and adviser on education. Rep. Yvette Clarke of New York is in play—the only Democratic in the New York delegation not to endorse Sen....

So do we still have this thing for small-town rural America when we choose our presidents? It’s a question worth asking, because there is a fault line running through this year’s presidential field. The front runners in both parties—Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney—are metropolitan people, bred and based. And yet for the most part we tend to choose presidents who can certify that they have roots in the kind of small-town America we used to symbolize with a log cabin....

The loan includes an option to acquire Katai permanently and extend his MLS contract. “Aleksandar should make our attack more diversified,” Fire general manager Nelson Rodríguez said in a statement. “He has the ability to turn a game on a single play whether it be off the dribble, with a pass or cross or even on set pieces. His desire to triumph should also fit well in our locker room....

An investigation by the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security found that the muzzle was purchased from Fiscus’ own American Express credit card and that there is no evidence to suggest it was meant to threaten her, Axios first reported Monday. “Someone wanted to send a message to tell her to stop talking, they thought it would be a threat to her,” Brad Fiscus, her husband, previously told The Tennessean....
