That’s what happened on Tuesday night at BMO Field, as the two rivals squared off in the second leg of the Canadian Championship final. With the Voyageurs Cup on the line, and bragging rights hanging in the balance, the game devolved into a slugfest. WATCH: Giovinco’s late title-winner There were rough tackles, contested penalty calls, a red card, and general bad blood on both sides. And after TFC won 2-1 on the back of a Sebastian Giovinco brace (giving the team a 3-2 aggregate victory), there were literal fireworks as Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations kicked off a few days early in Toronto....

Among all this, the Red Devils also saw the sacking of former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in November. He was replaced by Michael Carrick for two matches before Ralf Rangnick joined as interim manager. If all this wasn’t enough, there have also been reports of conflict in the Manchester United dressing room amongst the players. However, midfielder Fred has declined those claims. Speaking to ESPN Brazil, Fred said: He added:...

Speaking ahead of the encounter, Atletico manager Diego Simeone admitted that his team must step up to stand a chance of edging out the Premier League giants. Today will be the second time the Rojiblancos will travel to Manchester to play a match over the last 20 days. They faced Manchester United at Old Trafford in the second leg of their round of 16 clashes last month, earning a 1-0 victory that sealed their progress into the quarterfinals....

Alexis drops massive Arsenal exit hint Last season’s Bundesliga top goalscorer is reportedly being pursued by Chelsea and AC Milan, though he is expected to cost around €80 million. Despite the ongoing speculation, Dortmund CEO Watzke says there have been no offers for the 28-year-old and the window for them is closing. “We have not had any offers,” he told Welt am Sonntag. “We will wait a few more days but not long anymore....

A moment of magic from Qatar striker Almoez Ali after just 12 minutes stunned Japan in Abu Dhabi on Friday, before a brilliant second from Abdelaziz Hatim and a controversial late penalty gave the 2022 World Cup hosts a historic first Asian title. A distraught Yoshida blasted Japan’s naivety after the game but refused to make excuses. “It’s difficult to describe how it feels,” he told AFP. “We were too passive, a bit naive and made so many mistakes....

Gates recently revealed the five best books he had read in 2020, and Epstein’s books was one of those featured on the list. In the book, Epstein cites the example of Roger Federer as someone who had “embraced diverse experiences and perspectives” before succeeding in a specialized field. Federer played several different sports as a child, and didn’t focus on tennis until his teenage years. That, along with his parents’ easygoing attitude, played a critical role in Federer’s success as a tennis player, according to Epstein....

The German has seen his side suffer three straight losses in all competitions, slipping to fourth in the league table and 10 points behind leaders Chelsea. Klopp has questions to answer While defeat at Anfield on Tuesday would likely end Liverpool’s slim title chances, Klopp said it was no extra motivation for his team. “If we are seven [points] behind Chelsea we cannot say, ‘Now we go for them’. They might win the rest of the games,” he told UK newspapers....

Pujols has announced that this will be the final season of his legendary MLB career. As if hitting career home run number 700 this season was not impressive enough, he now hopes for playoff success. Winning the division is the perfect first step to sending the legendary slugger out with one more championship ring. The inspirational speech given by Albert Pujols to kick off the celebration was posted to Twitter by MLB....

The Real Madrid superstar was crowned the 2016 Ballon d’Or winner on Monday night, the fourth time he has won the award. And United felt it necessary to praise their former player, posting an update on their Facebook page that read: “Congratulations to Cristiano Ronaldo… Ballon d’Or winner for an incredible fourth time.” Some supporters weren’t happy to see the club saluting the Portuguese, despite the fact he achieved so much during his time at Old Trafford....

For those who may have missed out on the game, the hacking and essentially citywide control of Chicago was made possible through the adoption of ctOS - an operating system which oversaw all infrastructure and city operations within Chicago. Once Aiden Pearce was capable of hacking the system, he gained control over nearly every piece of digital equipment or machinery connected to it. One would think that the path of destruction and death left in (some) players’ wake would have proven that the system was flawed, but despite the death toll and destruction - or perhaps because of it?...

[HTML1] In the world of Ubisoft’s Watch_Dogs, hacking is everything. It’s how hero Aiden Pearce makes an impact without drawing undue attention his way. In a way, the whole of Watch_Dogs is about keeping to the shadows, as Pearce’s quest for revenge puts a big target on his back. However, while Watch_Dogs in-game story might about remaining inconspicuous, the game’s promotional tour has been anything but. Watch _Dogs made a huge splash back at E3 2012, and has been riding high as one of the most anticipated games of the year....

However, it’s not all been smooth sailing for Watch Dogs. After a delay that set the Ubisoft title back by 6 months, expectations were incredibly high. Unfortunately, those expectations were not met for all players. Although reviews were generally positive, many felt that Watch Dogs did have flaws amongst the strong gameplay, in particular regarding the depth of both the city and the playable character Aiden Pearce. It seems as though the developers themselves may have taken this criticism to heart....

It also taught me a lot about what different children go through with divorced parents. Family law gives me an opportunity to help people try and get on a positive track moving forward. I became friends with Madeline Tuckfield, the co-founder of Divorce Doulas, because our daughters went to kindergarten together and they became best friends. In 2019, she was going through a divorce. All of a sudden, within a year, she had gotten divorced, moved out of her home, and transitioned into single parenthood with no local support system....

Former Ajax coach De Boer succeeded Sam Allardyce at Selhurst Park in June, but his team are without a point and yet to score in the 2017-18 campaign. Sunday’s 1-0 loss at Burnley piled further pressure on the Dutchman, who is adamant the team produced an encouraging performance in the narrow defeat at Turf Moor. “Everybody who was in the stadium or sitting behind the television, I think there was only one team deserving to win and that was us,” he told Sky Sports....

We touched on several topics, from player feedback to Dracthyr only having one available class as of this time. It was a very fascinating chat, and I learned a lot about what was going on behind the scenes as Dragonflight was being developed. The final three questions were answered by Game Director Ion Hazzikostas, World of Warcraft Game Director. These were answered after the initial interview session took place. WoW: Dragonflight is a massive expansion, with tons of new content and ways to play the game....

In a post published on Reddit’s r/AmITheA**hole, the anonymous Redditor asked the subreddit’s 3.5 million members if she was wrong for wanting to pass down her maternal name instead of adhering to paternal traditions. Titled, “AITA for refusing to give my unborn son my husband’s last name?” the viral post has received over 6,000 votes and nearly 5,000 comments in just 9 hours. Explaining that she and her husband have been married for three years, the Redditor said that the couple is expecting a son, and had previously agreed that the boy would take his father’s last name when he is born....

On the Lakers’ media day on Monday, Davis told ESPN about his mindset for the new season. The eight-time All-Star was plagued by injuries last season, missing 42 games due to knee and ankle issues. The Lakers had a losing record and eventually missed the playoffs. The LA Lakers under the radar? Underdogs? That might be a bit of a stretch because they are the Lakers. Despite the disappointing season they had, they still have LeBron James on their roster....

There was a four megaton thermonuclear bomb stored here in the 1960s. It was an active site with a missile between 1961-65, including during the Cuban missile crisis in 1962. When I saw the site I was perplexed by it because it was flooded and in ruin, but still very interesting. I just could not forget about it. We ended up buying the property from a salvage company who had already worked on stripping out anything directly related to government activity, so the government was pretty much out of the picture....

Griner was arrested in February after the Russian Federal Customs Service claimed it found hashish oil in her luggage at a Moscow airport. The New York Times reported that a criminal case had been opened into the “large-scale transportation of drugs.” Griner pleaded guilty to drug charges in a Russian court hearing in early July. She said she did not want to break the law and packed for her trip in a hurry....

With Thiago Alcantara, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Curtis Jones recovering from injuries, Liverpool have particularly floundered in the center of the park. Meanwhile, Jordan Henderson and James Milner have received flak for their performances in the middle of the park so far this season. But after drawing with Fulham and Crystal Palace and then losing to Manchester United, the Reds bounced back in style against Bournemouth on August 27....
