In this article, we have a look at the five greatest knocks played in the World Cup in losing causes....

The trailer starts with Cris Tales footage that’s always been shared in previous footage. Regardless, the animated cinematics are absolutely gorgeous and are one of Cris Tale’s main selling features. All of Cris Tale’s art is described as entirely hand-drawn and animated frame by frame. It’s an impressive achievement for the indie developer pairing of Dreams Uncorporated and SYCK. RELATED: Future Games Show Returns at Gamescom The early portion of the trailer also does an excellent job of introducing Cris Tales’ story and setting....

Luka Modric’s win last year ended the duopoly of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, who had dominated the award in the last decade with five Ballon d’Ors apiece.

Although all fun and gore-heavy films, the repeated use of this formula can get stale. Alexandre Aja’s 2019 film Crawl is a unique take on this Jaws formula and doesn’t allow the plot to get too clichéd. With his last creature film being the hilarious Piranha 3D (2010), one might expect another feel-good horror film to laugh hard at. Crawl is nothing like Piranha, though, as Aja uses killer alligators as a backdrop to an emotional subplot on complicated father and daughter relationships....
