Playing her second-round match against 18-year-old Diana Shnaider, the sixth seed rallied to beat the teenager, 3-6, 7-5, 6-3.

However, the current World No. 6’s reaction to the teenager’s fist pumping in getting a few points against the top-10 players didn’t please the fans....

In that aforementioned DC heroes game, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, the trademark fatalities of the Mortal Kombat franchise were replaced with what essentially boiled down to “super moves.” Villains from DC were able to get a little more creative with their finishers, but ultimately it was small potatoes compared to the spine ripping NetherRealm fans have come to expect. But what about Injustice: Gods Among Us? As Creative Director Ed Boon points out, this is a completely different franchise than Mortal Kombat, and with that comes different expectations....

But, armed with a collection of notes that he referred to, Mourinho delivered an emotional 12-minute diatribe fighting back against his critics in his latest media conference, pointing to United’s recent history and that of Manchester City to explain his team’s recent struggles....

Modric joined Real Madrid from Tottenham Hotspur in August of 2012 for a £30 million transfer fee. After a difficult start to his career in Spain, Modric has established himself as one of the best midfielders that have ever played for the club.

At times, this makes the show quite brutal, and there are numerous scenes that involve a lot of blood and gore (to clarify, this is definitely not an animated show aimed at kids). But this brutal, bloody story actually feels quite refreshing, because it feels like a much more realistic depiction of superhero life, despite the show’s heightened nature. Most other superhero franchises seem to kind of gloss over the destruction that is caused when aliens or supervillains invade, and the number of innocent bystanders that would theoretically lose their lives in these conflicts....

“Iraq-gate”–a term created by the Democrats-is a complicated story with plenty of blame to go around. It begins in the early 1980s, after the Ayatollah Khomeini’s revolution in Iran, and it ends on or about the day, Aug. 2, 1990, that Iraq’s tanks rolled into Kuwait. It involves billions of dollars in U.S. loan guarantees, a major bank scandal and some of the biggest names in the Republican foreign-policy establishment....

Tosun joined Everton in January after impressing over the previous year-and-a-half with Besiktas in Turkey.

But by no means has he swiftly established himself in the starting XI at Goodison Park, starting just two Premier League games and failing to score....
