The defending champions have a good record against the Asian teams in this tournament with a win percentage of 75; they have won three out of four games. And though Bangladesh have punched above their weight in the tournament so far, it seems unlikely that they will cause too many problems to the Kangaroos. Aaron Finch’s men have outplayed the opposition on almost every occasion, and the team’s batsmen have teamed up with the bowlers brilliantly to destroy the opponents....

Virat Kohli’s men will wear the orange-dominated ‘away’ kit for the first time at the World Cup while facing England.

France, which many bookmakers had set in the top four, made it past Uruguay in the quarterfinal without much problem. Belgium showed some excellent perseverance by finishing off Brazil in a thrilling encounter. Sweden posed no threat to England and the Three Lions are in top four, which no one was expecting.

A clock designed by the late star architect Oscar Niemeyer to mark the one-year countdown to next year’s World Cup was unveiled on Rio’s famed Copacabana beach Wednesday in the presence of soccer legend Pele.

‘Messi could have played for Real Madrid’ A highly-decorated defender, Arbeloa won 58 caps for Spain, and has won two World Cups and the European Championship at international level. The 34-year-old, who spent the majority of his career at Real Madrid, also won the Champions League twice at club level, along with La Liga. Arbeloa also played for Deportivo La Coruna and Liverpool, scoring two goals in 69 appearances for the latter, but finished his career at West Ham, for whom he played four games....

The 19-year-old, who was drafted seventh overall by the Rangers in June’s NHL Draft, immediately removed his silver medal from his neck, skated toward the bench and tossed it into the KeyBank Center crowd. The lucky fan who caught Andersson’s medal then removed two jerseys, revealing a Sweden uniform, and placed the medal around his neck. MORE: Angelo Esposito’s new lease on life After realizing what had happened, the largely pro-Canada crowd chanted for him to “throw it back....

The 10-team tournament will start fresh, with some new rosters, new teams and a completely new schedule.

Although the pre-tournament games were canceled, the 2022 World Juniors tournament began with the first matchup between Finland and Germany on Sunday, Dec. 26. Despite being mandated to a five-day quarantine period upon arrival, a few teams had COVID-19 outbreaks that forced the pre-tournament schedule changes....

As a result, World of Warcraft players in Shadowlands were often suffering a huge disparity in gear power, especially if they were playing on an alt character. It didn’t matter if classes were balanced when gear played such a major factor in deciding the outcome of a match. Alts had a hard time catching up to other combatants as it required burning through insane amounts of Honor and Conquest points....

Spoon was able to mimic the style of the World of Warcraft maps by replicating brushes and assets using Adobe Photoshop. While they pulled many assets directly from the game’s existing maps, plenty others were found or created just for this project.

While potency conduits could previously drop from world bosses or inside dungeons, 200+ ilvl versions could not be found naturally past a certain point unlike finesse or endurance conduits. Patch 9.0.5, however, finally gives players an alternate way to get several different potency conduits for their characters depending on class and covenant. This new method only requires defeating Sire Denathrius and his Venthyr minions as many heroes normally do during the week....

The first animated story focuses on Uther the Lightbringer, former Alliance Paladin and leader of the Knights of the Silver Hand. For most Warcraft players and fans, Uther is known more for his murder at the hands of his pupil, Prince Arthas Menethil, who would go on to become the dreaded Lich King. While Uther met his untimely end inside of Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne, the Afterlife animated series reveals that his story doesn’t end there....

Previously, Blizzard explained their decision was due to feedback from many beta testers in the community. Even though the story and leveling experience through each of Shadowlands’ main zones was good, the various covenant systems remained complicated and frustrating despite change after change. Furthermore, The Maw, which is locked until max level, remained as barren and lifeless as described in lore despite being the endgame zone. Thankfully, those flaws have now been fixed and the roadmap to Shadowlands’ release is now fully laid out....

The Impressive Influence buff was previously available from April 20th to May 18th and doubled reputation gains from all sources for Legion and Battle for Azeroth factions. While players enjoyed being able to max out reputations and earn paragon caches more easily, they were disappointed to learn the buff wouldn’t be extended like its EXP counterpart. However, Blizzard has decided to bring it back for entire month of September....

Sometimes it’s a question of gear, with certain Best-in-Slot (BiS) items that are only available if a player either makes them, picks them up, or buys them. Those interested in specific Achievements or completing their personal collections might also be willing to pay for that one missing item instead of farming for it. There are plenty of items in World of Warcraft that cost a ridiculous amount of gold, and saving up enough to buy that essential item is part of the grind....

Many World of Warcraft fans have wanted the popular MMO on consoles since the beginning, and over the years, despite gaining significant traction, that never happened. Rumors started to spread when gamepad controls were implemented into the game with World of Warcraft: Shadowlands’ alpha, but despite some controller support, the game won’t be moved to console hardware. While speaking to IGN, World of Warcraft Director Ion Hazzikostas shut down the rumors when asked if the MMO would make the jump to gaming consoles in the near future....

Here are the current rankings for Twitch’s most popular games at the time of writing this post…...

While players will be most interested in the major updates previously revealed, the patch also includes a lot of under-the-hood changes to World of Warcraft’s various classes and professions. This isn’t the first time Blizzard has patched in class changes since the successful launch of the Legion last summer, but it’s definitely the most comprehensive balance pass the developer has made this expansion. The full list of updates can be read at WorldofWarcraft....
