Chelsea became the first club to qualify for the semi-finals of this season’s Europa League on Thursday despite losing 3-2 to Rubin Kazan in the second leg of their quarter-final tie. The London club go through 5-4 on aggregate after winning 3-1 in last week’s first leg and remain on course to win the Europa League a year after triumphing in the Champions League. Thursday’s match was played on the artificial surface at the Luzhniki stadium in Moscow, 800 kilometres west of Rubin’s home in Tatarstan, because UEFA ruled the Russian club’s own pitch to be in unfit condition....

I have yet to meet someone who appreciates a T20 game where one team is bowled out for a 100-odd total and the opposition struggles to chase the same. Let’s admit one fact – there is a sadistic pleasure in watching bowlers get mauled by men with bats which would rival the maces used at the Colosseum in ancient Greece. Test cricket may be a rich man’s game of chess, but T20 is WWE – the newest form of entertainment....

New Blues boss Garry Monk saw his side record back-to-back league wins thanks to Jota’s 21st-minute penalty at St Andrews. Jacques Maghoma was brought down by Cameron Carter-Vickers and Spanish playmaker Jota scored for the third time in two matches following his brace in the 3-0 win over Hull before the international break. Birmingham are now two points clear of the drop, while city rivals Villa were unable to find a way past Hull at the KCOM Stadium....

What makes the appointment even more unusual is that Kantor got her first journalism job just four years ago. She’d majored in history at Columbia University then spent a year in Jerusalem working for nongovernmental organizations and another year working for former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani before finally deciding to pursue a career in journalism–just after she started class at Harvard Law School. Leaving law school for a job at an upstart online publication wasn’t easy to explain to friends and family at the time....

There were chaotic scenes in the final over when Tigers captain Shakib Al Hasan called the batsmen to come off the field after Mustafizur Rahman was run out, having failed to make contact with a second successive short delivery from Isuru Udana. Bangladesh felt a no-ball should have been called, with words exchanged between players from both sides and the umpires before order was restored. With 12 needed to win off four balls to reach their victory target of 160, Mahmudullah kept his cool to strike a boundary before taking two off the fourth ball, and the all-rounder won it in style by flicking a six over square leg....

But as that Monday night loss to the Broncos showed, there’s still a lot of the old San Diego Chargers left in this team in its new home. When you need a heart-breaking, soul-crushing last-second defeat, they’re still the go-to team. If this team ever figures out how to finish those games and turn those losses into wins, they’ll be well on their way to contention. However, this is the third straight year that’s been true for them....

American philanthropy isn’t what it used to be. Gone are the days when old money was doled out by bureaucrats from mahogany-paneled rooms. More people are giving out more money than ever before, at much younger ages, and to a much wider variety of causes. In the 1980s, Ronald Reagan’s call for private charity to replace government largesse was greeted with hoots of liberal derision–and an outbreak of giving. The number of private foundations rose from 22,000 in 1980 to 55,000 today....

After Durant took to Instagram to fire back on Barkley’s “Inside the NBA” comments calling the Nets’ star a “bus rider,” Barkley doubled down on Tuesday on his previous assessment of Durant, saying that Durant’s comments didn’t bother him at all before calling him, “sensitive Cindy.” “You think they put that play-bin banner up already? I could put up stuff about him and Russell [Westbrook] and James [Harden] and Serge Ibaka,” Barkley said....

Cox’s Daredevil is a fan favorite and many people were happy to see that the character was brought back in Spider-Man: No Way Home. After having a successful three season run on Netflix, the character’s solo show was unfrotunately canceled partly because Marvel was preparing to create its own content on the Disney Plus streaming platform. Fans were distraught, as the third season left the door open for so many possibilities and had one of the best arcs in the show’s short run....

Charlotte also talked about comparisons with the likes of John Cena and Roman Reigns, in terms of wins and losses. Fan criticism of Flair’s push Ever since Charlotte Flair moved up to the main roster 4 years ago, she has been consistently reminded by many that her last name is the reason why she gets pushed to the moon. As of now, Flair has won a total of 10 Women’s titles on the main roster and is six short of equaling her father’s record....

Multiple sources within WWE revealed the match was exactly how it appeared to be for all viewers around the world.

Briscoe found a way to push through and earn that victory.

NEWSWEEK: Is everyone prepared for their screenings? Are your movies ready and are you ready emotionally? JAMES GRAY: My movie is done and I’m absolutely terrified. I’m terrified. I have no idea what the reaction is going to be. None. My first movie went to the Venice Film Festival, and it was a horrifying experience. I mean, it turned out very well [“Little Odessa” won the Silver Lion at Venice in 1994]–but it was the first time I had ever done anything that was shown publicly....
