Even though England, India, and Australia are the favorites to win the trophy, other teams would definitely make life difficult for them.

Spanning over the course of two decades, the film details how Gucci met his future wife Patrizia Reggiani at a party in the early 70s, before they married in 1972 and welcomed their daughters Alessandra and Allegra in 1976 and 1981, respectively (although the film only mentions Alessandra). But this isn’t a straight-forward love story. Not only is Reggiani depicted as a Machiavellian-like temptress who orchestrates a hostile takeover of her husband’s family’s business (the famed Italian fashion house), she is then portrayed as a scorned lover who resorts to hiring a hitman after her spouse files for divorce....

Now that this third and latest book on the fall of E.F. Hutton is out, maybe it’s time for the movie. How about Jack Nicholson portraying the maniacal Robert M. Fomon character, the CEO whose womanizing, drinking and plotting devours his time? Monty Python’s John Cleese could be cast in the Robert Rittereiser role of a befuddled executive addicted to sports metaphors. And Peter Ueberroth, the baseball commissioner and Hutton board member, with an uncanny ability to duck the dirt, could play himself....

The 37-year-old Portugal forward was helping his country to a 3-2 win over Ghana in the FIFA World Cup when TV images showed the soccer star reaching into his pants and pulling something into his hand, before he popped it into his mouth and started chewing. Cristiano Ronaldo, who is currently without a club after terminating his contract with Manchester United by mutual consent this week, is no stranger to hiding snacks down his pants to chew on during a game—but his actions have certainly caused a stir on social media....

Alessio Tacchinardi and Sergio Brio, both former Juventus players with 261 and 243 appearances respectively, think that Juventus deserve more respect from the player. They have been critical of Cristiano Ronaldo’s attitude towards the Bianconeri during his 3 years stay in Turin. Sergio Brio did not expect Cristiano Ronaldo to leave in such a way and thinks that his farewell could have been very different to what it was. He said:...

Ronaldo, who was crowned the Best Player in Europe last night, was very quiet when asked about Messi’s award, which itself was very surprising as Messi had had a good World Cup, but never did it seem to anyone that he had done enough to warrant the Golden Ball. The diminutive Argentinian scored 4 goals and provided 1 assist in the World Cup, but his performances dipped big time in the knockout round....

The Croatian star also claimed that though the attacking options available at their club’s disposal like Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale and Vinicius Jr are all great, they have failed to step up to the Portuguese talisman’s standards. In case you didn’t know… Modric led his nation to their maiden World Cup final last summer and was awarded the Golden Ball following his brilliant performances throughout the competition. The 33-year-old had one of the best years of his career in 2018, in which he won numerous individual accolades that included The Best FIFA Men’s Player award and the prestigious Ballon d’Or, that was dominated by his former teammate Ronaldo and Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi for the last decade....

The 34-year-old, however, specifically removed compatriot Joao Felix from this pool of players, suggesting that the youngster is worth the £113 million paid for him by Atletico Madrid this summer. In case you didn’t know… In the last few years, football entered an era in which excess spending has become the norm, and the acceleration of this commercialisation spiralled further as clubs continue to favour expensive imports over home-grown talent....

“It’s a little more difficult, but…, there are things that you kind of already have an idea, that to play one day for Barcelona would be almost impossible, or to play for another English club other than Manchester, it’s very complicated,” he said. “But that’s not 100 percent guaranteed. As I said before, there are no certainties in football.” Ronaldo was talking to The Associated Press on Thursday before the launch his new product with Herbalife....

The result of the FA cup tie against Middlesbrough isn’t something that United fans had hoped for. Even though the Red Devils dominated the game, it was Boro who squeezed in a victory via penalties which finished 8-7. What has really hurt United fans is that the game shouldn’t have even reached extra time in the first place. This was because the Red Devils could have walked into the dressing after the first half with at least a three-goal lead against their opponents....

LONDON (Reuters) - England approach the first Ashes test in the surreal position of having a settled top order that has nevertheless been written off as “a complete shambles” and which few predict will withstand Australia’s pace battery. The batting remains England’s chief area of concern, heavily dependent on captain Joe Root and leading run-scorer Alastair Cook and sure to miss the presence of the suspended Ben Stokes. When England last won in Australia seven years ago, they did so with a seasoned top six of Cook, Andrew Strauss and Jonathan Trott followed by Kevin Pietersen, Ian Bell and Paul Collingwood....

Dinesh has not featured for India since the Champions Trophy ODI tournament in England earlier this year, which India went on to win. And he was not included in the squad to tour South Africa either.
