Some of the fastest players in the world like Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi, Neymar, Ousmane Dembele, Raheem Sterling, and Marcus Rashford does not even feature in the top 10. When everyone thought Mbappe would top the list, he did not even make it to the top 20. England has four players in the top 20 which is the most of any country in the 2018 World Cup. Also, none of the players from top nations like Argentina, Germany, France, and Belgium feature in the top 20....

And it would be accurate when you say that this World Cup has been full of surprises. From Germany’s first ever group stage exit to Russia’s upset win over the giants of European football Spain we have dealt with a lot in the past 1 month and so. But every great thing comes to an end and this World Cup is no exception. With the final scheduled on 15th of July, we are 9in the final week of the tournament....

The defeat, for England, was a major setback to the Morgan-led side as it only ensured that the race to the semifinals spots were left wide open for an extended period of time. For Sri Lanka, who came into the tournament as underdogs. However, a superb display of temperament by the senior pros, in particular Lasith Malinga, rose to the occasion in managing to script one of the better World Cup wins for Sri Lankan cricket....

Until Saturday, the Afghans had disappointed all and sundry with their insipid performances, culminating in a hammering by hosts England. The team that had made everyone take a note of them in the Asia Cup had disappeared, leaving behind a trail of frail shadows. Afghanistan’s ascent to the biggest stage was itself a fairytale, and some would have said they have done enough just to be here. But the group of unconventional cricketers, who represent the hopes and dreams of an entire nation, are made of sterner cricketing stuff....

The background India have outplayed every opposition in the 2019 World Cup so far. They have defeated South Africa, Pakistan, Australia, West Indies and Afghanistan to acquire the 2nd position in the points table. With India seemingly through to the semifinals, the last three games for the Men in Blue will not have a major impact on their own chances of qualifying for the semifinals. However, the results of those games matter a lot for the other three Asian teams who are in contention for a place in the top 4....

There have been plenty of one-sided affairs, and most of them have seen a team knocking out its opposition for a below-par total. One can’t rule out the extraordinary effort from the bowlers, but at the same time, the quality of batting have also helped their cause. As the tournament progresses, it is necessary that the batsmen step up, so that there is at least a healthy competition between the two teams....

The New Zealand innings witnessed the unlikeliest of dismissals when Martin Guptill got out hit wicket to Andile Phehlukwayo in the 15th over, as the New Zealand opener failed to make the most of his positive start in the chase of the target. Put in to bat first by Kane Willamson, South Africa were dealt with an early jolt as Quinton de Kock was castled early in the second over but a handy half-century from Hashim Amla and good starts from Faf du Plessis and Aiden Markram steadied the innings....

So as the action moves from ground to ground, Round 3 of the official World Cup fantasy game is set to start at 3:00 pm on June 6th. With two teams, Australia and Sri Lanka playing 2 games in the next round, setting your team up properly in this round will play an integral part of your overall points total in this campaign.

On Monday, the Selecao moved one step closer on their path to the final, clinching a spot in the Round of 16 with a win over Switzerland. A result in their final group game against Cameroon would clinch the top spot. The other berth will come down to the two European powers in the group as Serbia and Switzerland meet with a spot in the knockouts on the line. Serbia need a victory, while a draw could be enough for the Swiss....

Bastion, an afterlife realm of penance and home to the angelic Kyrian, is one of the zones in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands. During the story, characters encounter Pelagos, a recently-arrived Kyrian who has a lot to work through before he can get his wings. Players who join the Kyrian’s covenant learn more about Pelagos after becoming his Soulbind, including that he was female in life, but took a male form after his death....

When it comes to Mythic Keystones, the personal enjoyment factor for most World of Warcraft players is strongly tied towards a Mythic+ dungeon’s weekly affixes. Unfortunately, the affixes Blizzard intended for Week 2 of Dragonflight Season 1 have been rather painful, to say the least. There are frequent examples of players taking three hours to complete Ruby Life Pools on higher keys, and while Mythic Keystones aren’t meant to be easy given the power level of the gear they award, having over 200 deaths isn’t a fun experience for anyone....

Ahn’Qiraj was originally created to serve as the Old God C’Thun’s prison after he, Yogg-Saron, Y’Shaarj, and N’Zoth were defeated by the Titans. However, a group of Aqir that would eventually be known as the Qiraji overthrew the prison’s guards and became warped by the power of C’Thun. Eventually, C’Thun stirred its minions to retake Azeroth in the War of the Shifting Sands. Only after great sacrifices were the Qiraji pushed back and sealed behind the Scarab Wall....

Players who do not own any recent expansions will therefore find that Warlords of Draenor is also available during the free play weekend, and players can get up to speed with everything that has happened in Azeroth up until now no matter what realm you are in, what character you have or what level your character is....

Legacy servers offer the opportunity for players to play WoW as it was at launch, without any expansion content or major patch updates. That means original skill trees, giant raids, no flying mounts, and no new races or classes. Unfortunately for nostalgic fans, Blizzard doesn’t currently offer an official Legacy server and the company shut down the most popular fan run realm, Nostalrius, for legal reasons. Weeks before BlizzCon 2016 kicked off Blizzard made it clear that the topic of Legacy WoW servers wasn’t on the docket....

“Yeah, what can I say. My life outside of WoW is, like you know, totally inadequate. It helps me to feel like a man, you know, dude.” “I bet you drive a big truck, don’t you, dude.”

France Pre-Tournament Arriving at the World Cup with high expectations, France has so far delivered. Boasting numerous household names in the form of Pogba, Mbappe, and Kante, this is the strongest France squad since they lifted the trophy on home soil in 1998. They cruised through qualification, topping a group containing Sweden and the Netherlands losing only once in the process. The Story So Far Placed in a group with Australia, Peru, and Denmark, many fancied France to swagger through the opening rounds and cruise into the last 16 with ease....

Virat Kohli won the toss and chose to bat but to everyone’s surprise, India could only a post score of 224/8 in their 50 overs as the Aghani spinners stifled the middle order. In response, Gulbadin Naib’s men put in a gutsy effort but ultimately fell 11 runs short. The brilliance of Jasprit Bumrah and a hat-trick by Mohammed Shami ensured a victory for India despite Mohammed Nabi giving a strong fight till the end....
