The defending champions veil of invincibility was broken in the midweek when they lost for the first time in their domestic season against Atalanta. The Bianconeri were completely outplayed in the midweek and it is likely to see them coming out all guns blazing in the weekend match against Parma. Parma has had a terrific season back in the Serie A with Crociati sitting comfortably in the 12th position with 28 points from their opening 21 matches....

Game commentators observed that Howard got in line for the post-game handshake after Michigan’s 77-63 loss to Wisconsin. Howard attempted to walk past Badgers head coach Greg Gard without shaking his hand. However, the two stopped to exchange words. The former tried to take a swing at Gard but landed his fist on Krabbenhoft. Both the team players went on to brawl with each other. The fight between the two coaches took place after Gard called a timeout when his Badgers were 76-61 up....

It was Jwala, who first saw the fire in Jaiswal’s eyes and the spring in his steps, as he wandered around for life’s basis necessities, plus an opening in cricket. There was not enough food and no proper shelter, but the 17-year-old Jasiwal battled the odds and is now primed to make the India U-19 team for the tour of Sri Lanka, alongside a certain Arjun Tendulkar. “I had gone to Azad Maidan (in South Mumbai) in 2013, when I saw him (Yashasvi) practising, when he was 11-12 years-old, when he was facing A division bowlers....

Asian champions Japan shrugged off the late injury withdrawal of Manchester United’s Shinji Kagawa to beat Iraq 1-0 and stay top of their group in 2014 World Cup qualifying on Tuesday. Japan, hit by the loss of Kagawa just before kick-off with back pain, rode their luck at times in front of a packed Saitama Stadium but ended with all three points thanks to Ryoichi Maeda’s headed goal on 25 minutes....

The 22-year-old centre-back is on a week-long trial at Aalborg where he’s hoping to earn a permanent contract and a dream move to Europe. Gordinho, who spent some time training with Fulham alongside Siyabonga Ngezana, Ryan Moon and Emmanuel Letlotlo earlier this month, is determined to impress the Danish side’s technical team and represent the Amakhosi brand well. “I feel good about being here. It has been a nice experience so far, the club has welcomed me....

Marking World Space Week, the YouTube video titled Get Curious With Vice President Harris, shows five teenagers talking about space on a trip to Washington, DC where they visit the Naval Observatory. In the nine-minute video, the group talks via Zoom with NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough from the International Space Station (ISS). They interact with Harris, who is also head of the Space Council, and react excitedly when she tells them they are “going to learn so much,” as well as “see the craters on the moon with your own eyes....

England striker Kane has surprisingly recovered from an ankle injury sustained in the 4-1 win over Bournemouth prior to the international break, although he is not in the starting line-up. Instead, Son Heung-min leads the Spurs attack at Stamford Bridge, while Dele Alli starts in the number 10 role on his 100th appearance in the Premier League. Courtois misses out for Chelsea after failing to recover from a hamstring problem, meaning Willy Caballero starts in goal....

The England striker scored the winner in a pulsating 5-4 victory in their Wembley farewell, having earlier cancelled out Jamie Vardy’s early opener. Leicester had led 3-1 before Erik Lamela inspired a fightback with two goals and the strike that led to Christian Fuchs’ own goal, with Kane’s second ensuring Vardy making it 4-4 ultimately counted for nothing for the visitors. “It was incredible - one of those games at the end of the season where both teams want to attack,” Kane, who finished with 30 Premier League goals for the first time, told Sky Sports....

He is not the only player in the world who reached the 50-goal mark this past calendar year, but he might be the least known of the few who have, and he certainly is the youngest. Which means he might still have greater things ahead of him. Like, imagine what the soccer world will be like this summer if Kane scores the goals that advance England deep into the 2018 FIFA World Cup....

The Raiders trading Randy Moss to the Patriots is certainly one that did not work out for the Oakland. The Saints moving up in the draft for Ricky Williams was a head-scratcher even in the moment. This offseason’s trade of Carson Wentz to the Commanders also seems like a rich price to pay for a middle-of-the-road QB. But sometimes, there are deals made that made sense both in the moment for both sides and in retrospect still come out as an even swap....

Juve must play to win - Allegri The French champions thrashed Luis Enrique’s side 4-0 at the Parc des Princes in the last 16 and at that point, a turnaround in the second leg looked highly improbable. However, with several weeks to prepare for the return at Camp Nou, confidence grew and in the end, the Catalans prevailed with an astonishing 6-1 win. There were other factors, too. Barca changed formation after the first defeat and used subsequent matches to perfect the 3-4-3 system....

Simone Padoin scored the sole goal of the match in the 72nd minute to help the hosts score their 31st win of the season — a record in the Italian top flight, Xinhua reported. The Turin club, who had sealed their 30th Scudetto without kicking a ball Sunday when Roma lost 4-1 against Catania, have now already garnered 96 points. Juve almost went ahead in the 26th minute when Atalanta goalkeeper Andrea Consigli was forced to put on a superb save to deny Daniel Osvaldo’s header from Stephan Lichtsteiner’s cross....

The center back, who was suspended for Thursday’s 1-1 Group G draw with Spain following his red card against Israel, has suffered bruising to his right calf. Serie A champion Juve announced the news Friday, stating that the 32-year-old would remain in Vinovo for further treatment and tests.

The Bianconeri have performed below their usual outstanding best so far this term, drawing to Atalanta and, on Sunday, losing to Lazio in Serie A, while also coming up short against Barcelona in the Champions League. Juve have conceded 10 goals in the league - twice that of leaders Napoli - but, ahead of their latest European test against Sporting CP, Chiellini suggested it is not just his defensive team-mates who need to improve....

Allegri’s men are on track for a fourth consecutive domestic double of his time at the club, Juve facing AC Milan in the final of the Coppa Italia on Wednesday. Juventus are virtually certain to win the Scudetto for the seventh season in a row – Napoli are six points back with two games to go – but speculation Allegri could leave has intensified. The Italian previously indicated his next job will be away from his homeland and, along with former Barcelona coach Luis Enrique, he is reportedly a frontrunner to succeed Arsene Wenger at the Emirates Stadium....

The Argentina forward, who has been on holiday since the Copa America in Brazil last month, was seen leaving Turin-Caselle Airport on Thursday. It is expected the 25-year-old will discuss his future with Sarri and Juve directors as speculation builds over a possible deal involving United striker Romelu Lukaku. Juve are said to be interested in Lukaku and the prospect of Dybala moving the other way to Old Trafford could facilitate the Belgium forward’s switch to the Serie A champions....

The visitors, meanwhile, will look to grab a rare league double over the Bianconeri after securing a 1-0 home win in February’s reverse fixture. Juventus have now gone two games without a win after their shock loss to Benevento was followed by a 2-2 draw against Torino on Saturday. Antonio Sanabria scored in both halves to cancel out Federico Chiesa’s opener and give Toro a 2-1 lead. However, a 79th-minute strike from Cristiano Ronaldo restored parity for the Old Lady....
