India has long been a country where cricket has been that sport which hogs the major limelight and brings with it euphoria and outcries of rage. When a player puts up a performance that lands the team on the right side of the results, the adulation overpowers appreciation and acknowledgement that he fairly deserves. On the other hand, the player might also be subject to a lot of unwarranted criticism as well when the results go awry....

He was eventually released by order of dictator Francisco Franco. When Gil took over at Atletico they had not won a La Liga title for 10 years and were desperate for League success. Straight away, Gil spent heavily, bringing in a number of expensive signings including Portuguese star Paulo Futre....
Ousmane Dembele’s 21st minute goal was enough to see out the result in an otherwise drab affair that featured more discussions with the match official than chances on goal. Atletico Madrid were especially wasteful, making poor choices in the attacking third on multiple occasions as they squandered their few opportunities in front of net. The hosts finally sprung to life in second-half injury time, but it was too little too late as Ronald Araujo came up with a huge block off the line at the death to keep Antoine Griezmann out....

It’s about time. Jobs showed his first NEXT machine in 1988 with a typical media splash. The kid who helped kick off the PC revolution was starting over after being pressured out of Apple Computer. NEXT predicted $100 million in first-year sales. But the technically innovative box didn’t sell, a victim of high price and poor marketing. Times are dicey for the industry–and analysts wonder if higher sales will translate into profits at NEXT, which recently laid off 5 percent of its 600 workers....

The Spanish league had denounced the club after some fans chanted “Die Griezmann” in Sunday’s match, won by Barcelona at Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid. The Spanish soccer federation said it would fine Atlético 301 euros ($333) because the game was disrupted, but it did not cite the chants against Griezmann. The fine was prompted mainly because fans threw objects — including an umbrella — onto the field. The Spanish league had denounced the club to the federation’s anti-violence committee, saying about 2,000 fans from Atlético’s “ultras” section made the chants for about 20 seconds before the start of the second half, and again later in the game....
