Hamburg were the better side in the first half, defending well, and, creating half chances on the break. Bayern dominated the possession, but lacked in creativity. Kingsley Coman, who was brilliant throughout and by far the best player on the pitch, looked to be the most likely route to goal for the reigning champions. Just when the match looked to be heading to a 0-0 at half-time, an incisive ball over the top of the Hamburg defence from skipper Phillipp Lahm found Thomas Muller through on goal....

Ferrari needed 13 points more than the Silver Arrows to keep the constructors’ battle alive heading into the final round of the season, but Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen were unable to deliver. Even though both Mercedes were forced to change to the medium tyre well before the Ferraris, it was Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas who produced the goods on the track. Claiming a race win looked like being too much of an ask as Verstappen impressed again in Brazil....

It was almost a Cinderella story at Bristol Motor Speedway, where DiBenedetto was less than 10 laps away in the gruelling 500-lap event from the first win in his Cup Series career, but it just was not meant to be. Hamlin stayed hot and came back from an early bump with Jimmie Johnson to earn his fourth win of the season and his fifth straight finish inside the top three on Saturday....

IT’S HARD TO IMPROVE on the computer mouse without making it harder to use. Microsoft’s IntelliMouse ($84.95) adds a great new feature–a rubber wheel between the right and left buttons–that makes scrolling a joy. Rolling the wheel toward you scrolls text down, rolling away scrolls it up. Depressing the wheel itself scrolls text continuously, like movie credits. Right now, few programs support the device (Microsoft Explorer 3.0 does); Office 97 programs will use it....

MS Dhoni might not be available to captain the Indian squad in the next T20 World Cup slated for 2020 or for that matter even in the ODI World Cup scheduled to be held in England and Wales in 2019. However, a lot of his current teammates in the game’s shorter formats, the likes of Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Ravichandran Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah among others, look certain to be in those squads – at least on current form....

The user in question is PalmDesert, and this gamer has a Steam library that puts most others to shame. As it stands, PalmDesert, who is from Tokyo, Japan, has a whopping 5,029 games through the distribution platform, along with 3,372 items of DLC. This actually stands at over half of all games available on the entirety of Steam. It’s no surprise, then, to see that PalmDesert has accrued a rather hefty Steam level through this gigantic library....

As per reports, the selectors had picked him for the tour without testing him in the Ranji Trophy games, and given that the 26-year-old failed the fitness tests, he was deemed unfit to take part in the upcoming series. In place of Pandya, Tamil Nadu skipper Vijay Shankar has been drafted into the India A team. The team has already left for New Zealand where they will play two 50-over warm-up games, three List A games and two four-day games against New Zealand A....

The Max Original Harley Quinn series is based on the popular DC comic villain turned antihero more commonly known for her time as the love interest of the Joker, Gotham City’s Clown Prince of Crime and Batman’s most iconic foe. The first two seasons of Harley Quinn became available on HBO Max in August 2020 after making the jump from the now defunct DC Universe video-on-demand service, and they focused on Harley Quinn’s life after the dissolution of her abusive and occasionally life-threatening relationship with the Joker, with a periodically expanding group of characters that include confidante and eventual lover Poison Ivy, and a host of other minor antagonists from Batman’s rogue’s gallery....

Opening batswoman Mandhana and leg-spinner Yadav were also included in the ICC Women’s ODI Team of the Year, which has New Zealander Suzie Bates as captain. The ODI and T20 sides were selected by a voting academy, which has former players like Lisa Sthalekar, Charlotte Edwards, Anjum Chopra and members of the media, and took into consideration performances in the 2018 calendar year. Harmanpreet has been rewarded for spearheading India to the semifinals of the ICC Women’s World T20 2018 in the West Indies in November....

The 29-year Harmanpreet reached the three-figure mark in 49 balls, punishing the Nerw Zealand bowlers with eight sixes and seven fours. The skipper led by example after India were struggling at 40 for three. Opting to bat after the coin landed in her favour at the Providence Stadium, Harmanpreet was required to walk into the middle early, at the fall of debutant Dayalan Hemalatha’s wicket in only the sixth over....

The sale was originally made back in late December, however the price was undisclosed at the time, as were the terms of the sale, of which there are a few. Harmonix will return to its role as a privately owned, independently operated studio with the sale to Columbia Nova, who will assume a few duties as the new owner of the studio. Columbia Nova will assume responsibility for Harmonix liabilities such as unsold, warehoused merchandise and music licensing fees....

The latest in this series of Halo Infinite leaks might not be quite as game-changing as a whole new campaign expansion pack, but it’s an exciting throwback for fans of the franchise. Namely, several sources have now suggested that the legendary M392 DMR could soon be making its appearance in Infinite, in a potentially altered form. RELATED: Halo Infinite Changes Offensive Juneteenth Nameplate This information is, unlike the big Halo Infinite campaign DLC leak, actually corroborated in several instances, giving it significantly better credibility compared to most other leaks....

However, longtime fans of the series are staying hopeful that future changes will cause the game to surge in popularity once again. With Halo Infinite season 2 being revealed to the public as well as the highly anticipated Forge mode on the horizon, members of the player base are trying to stay optimistic in the face of a content drought and a lack of transparency from 343.

Linde once again made the announcement over Twitter, although it was initially via his own edit of a clip from the Neon Genesis Evangelion anime series, where he replaced the subtitles with his own. This was a deliberate call back to when he did the exact same thing to make a similar announcement in 2019. He later followed it up with a short and simple confirmation, jokingly adding his edited clip cost him $30 for forgetting to cancel his Adobe Premiere trial....

Cosmetics have always been a big part of Halo and many players have wondered exactly how they will earn the huge library of cosmetics in Halo Infinite. Exactly how players have unlocked cosmetics has changed a lot over the lifetime of the series. Halo Reach allowed players to spend credits to purchase different pieces of armor and effects to equip while Halo: The Master Chief Collection simply gave players all of the cosmetic options available when the game launched....

Multiplayer developers know how important it is to strike a balance with their weapons’ power levels. It is imperative to let the player feel strong. From aesthetics and reload speed to fire rate and weapon damage, everything plays an integral part in overall satisfaction and the power fantasy of playing a video game. But for these weapons to work within the confines of a multiplayer setting, their statistics have to be within acceptable parameters....

Bottas will lead an all-Mercedes front row for Sunday’s race in Baku, as his team seek a record-breaking fourth-straight one-two finish to begin the 2019 season. The result in Saturday’s qualifying session was a surprise given Ferrari’s pace throughout the weekend, with the Silver Arrows’ cause helped by a significant crash for Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc in Q2 that meant he could not run in the final session. Sebastian Vettel will start the race in third, with Leclerc down in ninth – and defending champion Hamilton accepted the result was beyond his best realistic targets....

The broadcasts foreshadowed a string of fresh initiatives from the communist North. In recent weeks North Korea has agreed to unite more war-torn families and to open new road and rail links across the demilitarized zone. In addition, Pyongyang will send hundreds of athletes to compete in this month’s Asian Games in South Korea. The government has also made a few economic moves–including sweeping price reforms designed to emulate Beijing’s capitalist experimentation in the early 1980s....

Berlin - Freiburg have signed Mike Hanke from league rivals Borussia Monchengladbach on a free transfer, both clubs have announced. The 29-year-old left the “Foals” on a free transfer as his expiring contract was not extended after two years of collaboration, reports Xinhua. During his two years at Monchengladbach he scored 13 goals in 77 appearances to help the club stay up in Bundesliga in 2011 and qualify for the UEFA Champions League play-offs in 2012....
