Either way, with the Champion vs. Champion matches largely set (with the exception of the tag team titles, which will be another point of interest), we should start to see Raw and SmackDown begin filling out their traditional Survivor Series teams tomorrow night. Let’s now make some predictions about how those teams will fill out. We’ll start with the men’s teams on the red and blue brands. #1 Baron Corbin (Raw) Far from the most exciting choice, it nevertheless wouldn’t be WWE without a convoluted authority figure angle, which the company loves showcasing at Survivor Series in particular....

The world has become increasingly crowded, interconnected and interactive, accelerating the impact of events (e.g., pandemics and climate events) in one region or sector on other regions and sectors. While global crisis events cut across regions and sectors without regard for boundaries, the data needed for cross-sector analysis to anticipate events and provide decision-makers with the time and intelligence needed to plan effectively has remained largely siloed. From 1950 to 2020, the world population increased by 300% from 2....

Poile will spend Thursday night in the hospital, which isn’t ideal. The news is about as good as could be for Weber, though; he had a procedure on his heart and is resting comfortably in ICU. Josh Cooper of The Tennessean and Mike Russo of the Star Tribune visited Weber’s room on Thursday afternoon, and he was in good spirits. Note the balloon. Weber thanked doctors, paramedics and nurses for coming through....

None meant more than ending their power-play woes, if only for one night. Filip Forsberg ended an 0-for-34 power-play drought as part of Nashville’s three-goal second period, and the Predators beat the Coyotes 5-2 Tuesday night to snap a three-game skid at home. “We’ve been having a lot of good looks lately, but at the end of the day, it’s about scoring goals and we were fortunate to do that tonight,” Forsberg said....

After a whirlwind 10 months, the Premier League season has finally come to a close. It’s been an entertaining season which ended with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City standing triumphant holding the trophy aloft. Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United tried their best to catch up to their high-flying neighbors but the title was as good as decided by the turn of the year. While the Manchester teams finished 1st and 2nd, Tottenham grabbed the third spot while Liverpool finished 4th....

But due to multiple reasons, they haven’t been able to do so, and that has affected the prowess of some of these world-class footballers in ways that the fans cannot even explain. From being some of the most feared players to being booed by the same fans, we have seen it all in the world of football as the seasons have passed. We take a look at 5 such players, who were considered as the “gifts” offered by the Premier League, though, they failed not just in terms of delivering world-class performance, but also in terms of winning the hearts of the millions....

Van Dijk was accompanied by Sterling, the former’s team mate Sadio Mane, Chelsea’s Eden Hazard and City players, Sergio Aguero and Bernardo Silva who completed the shortlist of candidates. In case you didn’t know… The Dutch defender along with his Liverpool team mates voted for Sterling to lift the prize as they believed he deserved it. However, the City winger did not return the favor as he opted to vote for his English compatriot, Harry Kane....

Where it will end is anyone’s guess; will there be a time in the future where players are sold for £500m? You might think it sounds ridiculous now but cast your mind back to the summer of 2002, when Rio Ferdinand signed with Manchester United for £30m. It had broken the transfer record at the time, and nobody could quite believe that that amount of money was being spent on a footballer....

The Merseyside-based club are the favorites to win the league this season and will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table when they play Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium later tonight. However, the Reds have faced a defensive crisis during the last few weeks due to injuries to Joel Matip and Joe Gomez. That left them with Virgil van Dijk and Dejan Lovren as the only senior centre-backs....

With the new season just about to start, here are three reasons why Liverpool have a good chance to win the Premier League this time around. #1 All areas of concern have been dealt with Liverpool’s overall squad was very impressive last season but there were still areas of concern that had to be dealt with. It was obvious that a new center back was needed after a string of subpar performances by Dejah Lovren at the start of the season....

The Premier League this season promises to be more exciting than ever as a number of teams have strengthened themselves. As it dawns upon us, there are no fewer than six candidates who could go all the way and hold the trophy aloft, come May 2019. In addition to the acquisition of players, Chelsea, Arsenal and Everton have brought in new managers. It would be intriguing to see how the managers adapt to their new surroundings and if they can be as successful as their predecessors....

As the business end of the Premier League approaches, there is another contest people glue their eyes on: the race for the Golden Boot. The Golden Boot is awarded to the player who scores the highest number of goals in the league. The coveted trophy has been claimed by legends like Thierry Henry, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Alan Shearer and Didier Drogba. More recently, the likes of Harry Kane, Sergio Aguero and Mohamed Salah have laid their hands on the prized trophy....

In a match that could have just as easily passed for the 39th match of the 2017/18 season, Manchester City shook off the mild coating of dust that had settled on their marauding run, with Raheem Sterling and Bernardo Silva scoring either side of half-time to put the tie to bed. Arsenal’s team selection left a lot of fans scratching their heads, with new signings Lichtsteiner, Leno and Torreira starting from the bench in favor of newer, unproven prospects and older, washed out stars....

Liverpool held Bayern Munich to a disappointing 0-0 home draw in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16. Liverpool hold second place in the points table as they have gained 65 points from 26 matches. Manchester City top the league with the same number of points while they have played one more game than Liverpool. It could be a great chance for Liverpool to register the top spot if they can beat Manchester United in front of their home crowd....

He’s BACK! Pogba delivers on the big stage Limited opportunities for local footballers has been a gripe among several supporters in England for years and it appears as though little is about to change any time soon. Figures from CIES Football Observatory have revealed that just four Premier League teams have used homegrown players in more than 50 percent of their minutes so far this season. Bournemouth leads the way on 81 percent, while Burnley (62 percent), Crystal Palace (53 percent) and Everton (52 percent) follow behind....

Daniel Sturridge started the goalscoring proceedings in the 28th minute and eight minutes later, Luis Suarez doubled the lead with a fine goal. Besides the goal, first half did not offer much in terms of football as Sunderland were finding it hard to connect plays. Second half started on a different note as Emanuele Giaccherini pulled a goal back for the hosts Sunderland in the 52nd minute. After his goal, the match was contested on a high tempo....

#5 Yaya Toure’s plans revealed So this rumour comes from the folks at MEN, who claim that Yaya Toure wants to stay in the Premier League after his contract with Manchester City ends this summer. Everton, Burnley and Huddersfield are the clubs interested in him. “He will not stay next season,” said Pep Guardiola. “The Brighton game we will give him what he deserves.

Rinne will be re-evaluated after the All-Star break. The injury occurred less than three minutes into the third period of Nashville’s 5-1 home win over the Canucks. Carter Hutton finished the game and made 10 saves. Rinne is 29-6-2 on the season with a 1.96 GAA for the Predators. Rinne’s injury, paired with Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard’s groin injury that landed him on injured reserve Sunday, opened the door for Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury and Islanders goaltender Jaroslav Halak to be added to All-Star weekend....
