Ibrahimovic is in line to make his first appearance since rejoining Milan as Serie A returns from the mid-season break this weekend. The 38-year-old is in the squad to face Sampdoria, having arrived from LA Galaxy on a free transfer. Head coach Pioli is delighted to welcome Ibrahimovic back to the club, but he sees plenty more work to do, with the Rossoneri 11th ahead of this round of fixtures....
Revealed: Chelsea’s summer transfer plans The central defender is one of a number of casualties Luis Enrique has had to deal with ahead of their trip to Las Palmas on Sunday, with Pique having not travelled to the Canary Islands. He had not been able to train all week due to the problem and it became so severe he was sent to hospital for further analysis. Barca confirmed his release from hospital in a statement on Sunday, adding that they will continue to monitor Pique’s condition, without being able to offer a date for his return....
Neymar opened the scoring at Camp Nou, but his contribution to the final goal was arguably more memorable as he nonchalantly flicked the ball over Mario’s head before crossing for Luis Suarez, who was denied by the arm of Jaume Costa, allowing Lionel Messi to score from the spot. Neymar’s act of showboating clearly annoyed Villarreal’s players, and the forward has previously attracted criticism for a similar act when Barca beat Athletic Bilbao in the 2015 Copa del Rey final....
Buffon vehemently disputed referee Michael Oliver’s decision to award Madrid a stoppage-time penalty that curtailed the Bianconeri’s fightback from a three-goal first-leg deficit. Cristiano Ronaldo beat Wojciech Szczesny from the resultant spot-kick after Buffon’s remonstrations were met with a red card as the hosts prevailed 4-3 on aggregate. The Italy goalkeeper later called Oliver’s character into question, describing him as having a “garbage bin” for a heart, but Pirlo defended his former team-mate’s emotional response in what is likely to be the 40-year-old’s final Champions League game....
Much anticipated, bursting with talented performers, this collaboration should have had the crowd at Lincoln Center jumping with exuberance by the time the curtain came down. But the ovation sounded more dutiful than delirious. The work was simply too lopsided to make much of an impact: all the excitement in it came from the orchestra pit. Despite their charm, the dancers couldn’t make Martins’s choreography look anything but brisk and impersonal, as if that 13-year-old jazz fan had put aside his youthful passion to become the dance equivalent of a jingle writer....
Cloudhead has released multiple updates for the game in the past year, and tomorrow, December 1, the developer will drop its most substantial to date. The new DLC will come first to PC-based VR sets and the Oculus Quest, while the PlayStation VR version of Pistol Whip will get it sometime in 2021.

Brown had disrespected his coach by declining to devote a few seconds of attention to Mike Tomlin’s locker-room remarks following the Steelers’ 18-16 AFC playoff victory Sunday at Kansas City, and embarrassed Tomlin by airing publicly his language in that setting through a Facebook Live chat. This is why Tomlin used several harsh terms (selfish, inconsiderate, foolish) to describe Brown’s actions and said he would face internal punishment. That ought to be the end of all this as the team approaches the AFC Championship Game on Sunday in New England, but given the operatic suffering some Steelers fans exhibit over the unsportsmanlike conduct penalties Brown has received for touchdown celebrations, we can expect it will not....
Pirlo loves MLS style Massimiliano Allegri’s men were beaten 2-1 by Inter on matchday three, but are nonetheless already sitting in pole position to successfully defend the title. Juve holds a four-point lead over second-placed Napoli, but Pjanic is taking nothing for granted. “The most consistent team will win the Scudetto. We have a huge desire to bring home the sixth title in a row. But we all know it will not be easy,” Pjanic told La Gazzetta dello Sport....

Game Rant’s Jon Lavallee reviews Plants vs. Zombies for the iPhone My iPhone has become an unofficial appendage of mine. I use it daily for everything it offers - including the plethora of games the app store offers. I’m a sucker for them - usually a mere few bucks and way too attainable. I also adore the zombie genre - fun, suspenseful and gory. Never gets old. So when you take these two subjects, combine them and put it at the top of the featured app page you can safely assume that it has become yet another irresistible app - at least for me....
For those who may not be familiar, Cards Against Humanity is like an adult version of Apples to Apples. One player selects a black card with a question or fill in the blank statement on it. The other players then submit white cards that contain funny, absurd, or even borderline offensive phrases/words on them. Finally, the player with the black card then reads the white cards and judges which one they deem to be the most creative/funny/random....
The Halo series recently celebrated its 15 year anniversary, which is likely why 343 Industries also teased some brand new upcoming Halo 5 DLC. The teaser video seemed to show a strong focus on new weaponry, hinting that the upcoming content may give players more ways to turn enemies into giblets across some of Halo 5’s game modes, including the relatively new Warzone Firefight. In the meantime, though, all players have to do in order to get the Thanksgiving emblem is simply play the game....
Before breaking onto the big stage, Carlos Vela was a bona fide legend amongst Football Manager gamers. Dubbed one of the best young players on the simulation, he would go on to break numerous goalscoring records for Arsenal, or any team that could convince the Gunners to sell. However, Vela never lived up to the hype during his time in north London and was loaned to Real Sociedad in 2011 before signing permanently 12 months later....
Many of the Dutch government’s critics would agree, only they’re not smiling. The Netherlands’ social liberalism–what a conservative columnist in Boston called “the Dutch Disease”–is often portrayed as radical, weird, just short of demented. It’s not just a matter of marijuana. Prostitution–long and famously tolerated in the country’s red-light districts–has just been fully legalized, complete with value-added tax on services rendered. This year the Netherlands became the first country in the world to give same-sex marriages a status identical with heterosexual unions, and its Parliament made “mercy killing” the law of the land....
Make as little noise as possible while you approach the turtle. On land, this animal stays super alert to its surroundings. You don’t want to spook the turtle before you reach it. When lifting, hold the turtle as low to the ground as possible. This way, you’ll limit any potential injury to the animal. Keep the turtle’s head pointed away from you at all times to avoid injury. Never grab an adult snapping turtle anywhere besides the back half of its shell....
