2017 FIFA U17 World Cup: Lucio - Great opportunity for India to make a mark globally While Shillong ran Mohun Bagan out of the park with neat, short and crisp passes - the away side was often guilty of aimlessly hoofing the ball forward and mostly in vain. Even their otherwise bailout package - Sony Norde - looked lacklustre both on and off the ball. The home side who were camped in the opposition half from the get go saw Dipanda force Debjit to a save off an acrobatic bicycle kick from inside the box in the 11th minute....

The team, which will be coached by Portuguese tactician Luis Norton de Matos, comprises of promising youngsters from the FIFA U17 World Cup team and the India U19 team. The team had recently participated in the AFC U19 Championship qualifiers in Saudi Arabia where they lost two games and won one. Most of the stars from the India U17 team have been incorporated into the squad, with the ultimate aim being to afford them regular playing time at senior level....

As the national champions, they have secured an entry into the playoff stage of the Champions League, and have until August to mid-September to fulfill the aforementioned licensing criterion. There are two licenses, the national license and the AFC license. While the national license allows clubs to participate in the AFC Cup, an AFC license is mandatory in order to partake in the AFC Champions League. Indian heavyweights Mohun Bagan and East Bengal were denied an AFC license last year on account of not having AFC Pro-Licensed coaches, but with Aizawl gaffer Khalid Jamil already sporting those badges, it remains to be seen what other hurdles await the northeastern club....

The 28-year-old striker completed a club-record £55 million move to Arsenal on the final day of the transfer window, while the London club let Olivier Giroud go to Chelsea for £18m after the Frenchman became frustrated with a lack of first-team opportunities this season. Aubameyang was immediately thrown into the starting XI for Saturday’s clash with Everton, while £52m summer signing Alexandre Lacazette dropped to the bench. As the Gunners strolled to an easy win over Sam Allardyce’s side with three goals in 20 minutes, the Gabon international opened his account for his new side in the first half....

I believe in being fiscally conservative and limited government. I voted for John McCain. My husband is a pastor and I have personally read the Bible cover to cover ten times. My faith is the bedrock of my entire being, and it is because of this that I will not be voting for Donald Trump. This election is not just about politics. Want to know how I know that? Because a month ago I was walking in downtown Boulder with two other minority women when a guy in a pick-up drove by us, rolled down his window and shouted, “TRUMP!...

Coming from one of the most prolific philanthropists in modern times, this is a monumental statement. While Gates opines that philanthropy can still be a force for good, he now states individual giving just isn’t enough. A vibrant economic system," he says, “depends on setting expectations for who pays how much.” Just a few days into the new decade, Australia is currently in the throes of the worst bushfire season in recorded history with over a billion animals dead, millions of acres burned, dozens of lives lost, and horrifying ecological destruction that will linger for years....

Climate change is causing drought, extreme heat, wildfires, sea level rise and flooding that puts military personnel and installations at risk. I live in Florida, which is the canary in the climate coal mine. The swamps around my home in Orlando are flooding. The streets of Miami are also flooding. Our beaches are getting smaller because the sea level is rising. Along the Florida coast are more than 20 military installations that are threatened by flooding....

Liverpool end Van Dijk interest Mourinho hit out at Smalling last season, suggesting after a November match with Swansea City that the defender was not willing to play through pain, a problem later revealed to be a broken toe. The United boss also hit out at the centre-back and team-mate Phil Jones for the speed of their recoveries after they both suffered injuries in the same training session while on England duty in March....

The eight-time Olympic champion and reigning 100 metres and 200m world-record holder will retire after the IAAF World Championships in London. He will be hoping to add to a record haul of 13 medals at the event - 11 of which are gold - before bowing out, but he has already cemented a legacy as one of the all-time greats, regardless of his performance in this swansong. We take a look at the standout moments that led to Bolt establishing himself as a global icon....

Israel’s National Drone Initiative is a two-year government program that aims to establish a nationwide network built on the capabilities of Israeli drone companies that deliver goods to pick up spots for customers via drone. The program carried out the drill Monday in preparation for large-scale commercial deliveries made by drones to ease pressure on traffic-laden urban roads. Some participants in the experiment are optimistic about the future of drones, including Yoely Or, co-founder of Cando Drones, one of the companies that participated in Monday’s experiment....

The flood of fake applications was prompted by a call to action from Never Again Action, a Jewish political action group campaigning to abolish ICE that draws its name from the “Never Again” slogan invoked in reference to the Holocaust. “ICE is asking the public to apply to be part of their armed vigilante ‘Citizens Academy,’” Never Again Action said in a tweet. “Well, let’s give them what they asked for: thousands of applications!...

In November, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Ethan Chapin, 20, and Xana Kernodle, 20, were fatally stabbed in an off-campus residence, which has been described as a “party house”, near the University of Idaho. A subsequent investigation was launched by the Moscow Police Department, however they are yet to announce any suspects....

With Robinson dead, Vice President John Nance Garner told Roosevelt, “You haven’t got the votes.” When they quashed FDR’s court-packing bill, conservative Democrats found they could oppose the president and wake up alive the next day. And so they started striking down bill after Roosevelt bill, turning FDR’s second term into a congressional nightmare. When Sen. Tim Johnson fell ill last week, jeopardizing Democratic control of the Senate, it was a reminder that not only in an Allen Drury novel can political history turn on the incapacity or death of a single leader....

You read that right – the 2005 Nashville Sounds had two players named Corey Hart. Both their first and last names were spelled the same. MORE: Best MiLB states | 17-inning no-hitter | One game, one ball The pair of Harts bewildered fans, opponents, reporters and autograph collectors. “It’s kind of funny.

It’s an intriguing game plan, but the spectacle played out in Levinson’s lyrical, dark-hued images never achieves the emotional whiplash the movie’s after. It begins seductively, as Siegel sets out to take over the California rackets and buys his way into the Hollywood celebrity circuit. There are nice mobster turns by Harvey Keitel, Ben Kingsley and the late rock impresario Bill Graham. But by the halfway point we’ve learned all we need to know about Siegel’s schizoid soul, and his alternating pattern of social charm and antisocial rage becomes repetitive....

Hoke has to beat either Michigan State or Ohio State on the road after last week’s 31-0 loss at Notre Dame. Given that Michigan is 0-5 against the Irish, Buckeyes and Spartans on the road since Hoke took over, it’s a fair test. If the Wolverines fail, then Michigan athletic director David Brandon will have a decision to make in December. If it comes to that, the Wolverines better get it right, unlike last time and the time before that....

The Wolverines plummeted nine spots to No. 20 in the AP Top 25. Harbaugh was put on hot-seat notice, and there’s even a list of potential coaching candidates to replace him you can bet on now.
