Lionel Messi, on the other hand, has arguably been the best player across top 5 European leagues this season. The Argentine seems to have got better with age. Though playing in different leagues, both Ronaldo and Messi have performed to the level they are expected to and it is not a surprise that the comparison between the two is still the hottest talking point in world football Here is the statistical comparison between the two greats for the ongoing season so far:...

Players loved so many elements introduced by the game to draw in younger generations of gamers, earning it very decent ratings across critiquing platforms. Final Fantasy 16 only needs to build on the foundation left by its predecessor to complete the turnaround from the dog days of the mid-2000s for the franchise. The world-building in Final Fantasy 16 earned applause from gamers, who enjoyed the unique nations introduced to the franchise....

Satellite viewers are subjected to the joust between the two teams weeks before the lead up to the game and the presence of Di Maria, Iniesta, Xavi, Benzema, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in one frame makes it for an intense rivalry as the two teams look to play for pride-a failure can reduce them to great embarrassments while a stunning 90 minutes is capable of elevating them to the status of a hero....

The original Star Wars: Battlefront 2 released way back in 2005, developed by Pandemic Studios and Savage Entertainment. It was very well-received and instantly became a classic. The newer version, EA’s Star Wars Battlefront 2, released to far different reception. Over time, EA’s Battlefront 2 has become a game that’s respected for the post-launch support it’s received. RELATED: Every Reason to Play Star Wars Battlefront 2 in 2021 Graphics in Each Battlefront 2 This is where the most noticeable difference between these two games is going to lie, for obvious reason; one was released in 2005, and the other was released more than a decade later in 2017....

Because of all the external factors that go into fantasy baseball rankings – position scarcity, category scarcity, injury worries, etc. – it’s really impossible to make a comprehensive set of overall rankings; however, that’s the default setting in all draft rooms. Sure, you can sort by position (or name, or category…), but the players higher up in the window right in front of your face are undoubtedly going to command more attention....

One of the comparatively more subtle strong weapons in multiplayer currently is the M16, which doesn’t have the same infamy as the MP5 but is still just as strong. Certain builds of the M16 can make the tactical rifle extremely deadly at any range, making it a very versatile burst-fire weapon for any engagement. While previously the Type 63 tactical rifle was miles better in the alpha and beta, that gun was significantly toned down for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s full release....

The national holiday works two-fold depending on which state of the country you’re in. Some celebrate Columbus Day as the day the explorer Christoper Columbus arrived in the Americas. According to Smithsonian Magazine, the first observance of Columbus Day in the U.S. actually took place 300 years after Columbus made landfall in the country. The annual celebration then took place from 1869 in the Italian-American community in San Francisco and in 1934, the, then, U....

Johansen, the Columbus Blue Jackets' 21-year-old beast of a 33-goal-scorer, was sitting at his stall when the doors opened. He was sitting there as the media badgered Brandon Dubinsky next door, and Mark Letestu across the room. He was there long enough for a few microphones and recorders to circle back, but the best answer he gave came in Part 1 of his availability after the Pittsburgh Penguins' 4-3 win in the opener of their Stanley Cup playoff series....

Participants from the world of boxing, pro wrestling and karate all were involved, and at the end of the night, Royce Gracie was the winner of the tournament defeating Gerard Gordeau by submission and winning $50,000. UFC 1 exceeded low expectations and flattened negativity surrounding the event and did a surprising 86,000 pay-per-view buys. It was the springboard for mixed martial arts. Today, MMA has become the premiere combat sport in the world with the UFC being the industry leader....

On June 18, 1978 a new league was started to metamorphosize the Surrey Senior League which had started in 1921. This league was called the Home Counties League, but there was an objection from the Home Counties conference so, in 1979 it adopted the title of Combined Counties Football League. It is still being known in this name. The founding members of the Surrey Senior League was The founding members were Aldershot Institute Albion, Camberley & Yorktown, Carshalton Athletic, Dorking, Egham, Farnham United Breweries, Hersham, Leyland Motors, Merton Town, RAE (Farnborough) and Walton on Thames....

Mumbai - Off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, who Sunday made a comeback to the Test side, said comebacks are always tough in Tests and hoped to make a difference in the four-match series against Australia. “Comebacks are always tough. As long as you continue to work hard and believe you can make a difference and do well in international cricket, you can make a comeback,” said Harbhajan after the end of the Irani Cup match....

To judge by CA’s initial letters-to-the-editor column, “Out of the Humidor,” the nation’s estimated 400,000 aficionados of expensive cigars are ripe for rebellion. Shunted throughout these health-conscious decades to segregated restaurant tables and shown the door at home, they’re a frustrated breed who relish nothing more than the ritual lip, clip, light and savor of hand-rolled premium leaf. Here is author Gay Talese’s sly ruminations on the pedestrian gibes he elicits along Park Avenue as he takes his cigar out for a walk....

““It’s a lovefest!’’ O’Donnell cooed to Teri Garr during a typically logrolling interview. Not since Merv Griffin oozed his way through the ’70s has there been this level of raw celebrity sycophancy on TV. Who’d have thought we’d be praising a talk-show host for being ““the new Merv’’? But it’s such a relief from the freak-of-the-week sideshows on ““Jenny Jones,’’ ““Ricki Lake,’’ ““Sally Jessy Raphael’’ and their ilk. Warner Bros....

Salah had been upset that his image is featured prominently on the outside of the national team’s plane, which was provided by official team sponsor WE. Salah has a sponsorship deal with a rival telecommunications firm, Vodafone. Youth and Sports Minister Khaled Abdel-Aziz summoned the board members of the Egyptian Football Association for urgent talks on Sunday. Abdel-Aziz said late Sunday that he and the association have agreed to meet Salah’s demands....

However, several of his fans consoled him on the social media site. In case you didn’t know… Saurav Ghosal, a 31-year-old professional squash player from Kolkata, recently reached his career high World Rank of 14 in February this year. So naturally, his supporters had high expectations for him to perform well at the games. The heart of the matter Saurav started off strongly against the Jamaican Chris Binnie. He won the first two games 11-5 & 11-7 respectively....

He was pilloried by armchair critics and the federation alike for letting the nation down in the 2005 Junior Hockey World Cup when India missed the podium finish after losing 4-5 on penalty strokes to Spain. After his unceremonious exit from the turf as an Indian player in 1991, this was the second time that he was forced into oblivion by an ungrateful system. 13 years later, the very man is now once again at the helm of affairs, this time as the coach of the Indian women’s hockey team out for the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games 2018....

Why favourite, you ask? Well, for starters, since the 1990s the one multi-sport event in which India has enjoyed the most success is the Commonwealth Games. And, this year as well, India is expected to bring home a bunch of medals; especially in shooting, wrestling, badminton, boxing and weightlifting, there will be a glut of the gold. However, only after putting each medal won under the microscope – wherein one needs to measure the competition and form – can one decide if he should join the revelries or if he should only see it as a stepping stone for the bigger success to come....

Speaking over the phone from Gold Coast to Sportskeeda right after her event, the youngster could not hold back her glee. “I feel very happy with my effort, I won the gold medal and created a record as well. But I can’t express the true measure of my happiness through words,” she said. She broke her own personal best of 194kg, which she achieved at last year’s World Weightlifting Championships, with a combined effort of 196kg (86kg in snatch and 110kg in clean & jerk)....

A sniper rifle with a fast rate of fire and an absurdly high damage output, the MCPR-300 packs a mean punch and is still considered to be one of, if not the best sniper rifle in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, at least when compared to the rest in its designated category. While the MCPR-300 can still be dangerous with no upgrades, finding the right attachments makes it one of the most lethal weapons in the game....
