What Almiron and his teammates surely knew was that Saturday was a wasted opportunity to grab a precious win. The Union played down a man for 38 minutes, but the tide-turning red card came with the Union leading Atlanta 2-1, and Almiron’s team simply wasn’t sharp enough to take full advantage. Tyrone Mears’ stoppage-time equalizer helped the Five Stripes return to Atlanta with a point, but that didn’t keep it from feeling like a disappointment....

It is important for the supporters, it is important for the club, it is important for the players,” he told a news conference....

Lucas’ future has been subject to intense speculation in recent weeks after Marca suggested Bayern were ready to trigger his €80million release clause.

Bayern denied any deal for Lucas was in place but have spoken of their admiration for him, although Gil Marin has no intention of letting him go when the transfer window opens....

Real Madrid injuries, suspensions and line-up vs Celta Vigo Atleti will move from the Vicente Calderon to Wanda Metropolitano next season and could be given added incentive to go all the way in Europe’s premier club competition in 2018-19 if the city’s potential bid is successful.

As seen directly below in one of the latest 4K trailers for Assassin’s Creed Origins, fans can witness the birth of the Brotherhood from the ashes of the Medjay, with the protagonist Bayek laying the groundwork for future assassins to come down the line.

According to a fresh blog post from Ubisoft’s Communications Specialist, Chris Watters, the publisher and developer suggests that Assassin’s Creed Origins’ minimum specs line up with 2015’s Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, and that those players should expect to run the game at 720p and 30 FPS by way of its auto-detect presets. Furthermore, fans who own machines with meatier hardware will “have the possibility of running 4K at 30 FPS or higher, or running standard resolutions such as 1080p or 1200p at higher than 30 FPS,” as explained by studio producer Jose Araiza....

According to the leak, which was posted to an anonymous image board, the codename Assassin’s Creed Kingdom project has officially settled on the Assassin’s Creed Ragnarok title. Ragnarok, as previous rumors have said, will be Viking-themed and focus on longboat raiding and looting in the Baltic Sea through to Great Britain. Northern Europe, including Great Britain, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland, and Iceland as DLC, will apparently all be split into several “Kingdoms,” which may be where the codename comes from....

For now, players will only have access to Assassin Creed Valhalla’s Tombs of the Fallen. 100% completionists will want to get the “Spelunker” and “Crypt-ologist” Trophy/Achievement. This can be done by completing one Tomb of the Fallen (Spelunker) and then completing the rest (Crypt-ologist). However, there are a few things players need to do before they can start exploring the new content. RELATED: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Reveals What’s Coming With the Oskoreia Season Free Update...

RELATED: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Black Flag, and Rogue May Be More Connected Than You Think Although fans were recently told by voice actor Magnus Bruun that Valhalla would bring Eivor into the Assassin’s guild in a new way, Gach’s discovery does not pertain to the story....

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is no stranger to bugs and glitches, and most of its players are extremely aware of this. With the development team continuously doing housekeeping such as fixing in-game character’s facial animation glitches or resolving important quest progression issues, players have taken it upon themselves to give aid to fellow fans who only want to complete the many available challenges but find themselves stuck within one of the game’s annoying bugs....

There are many powerful weapons in the world of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. One of the most useful weapon types is the bow, which deals significant damage while Eivor keeps a good distance from enemies. Some of the best bows in the game were thought to be Petra’s Arc Predator Bow or Skadi’s Wrath Bow. It turns out that there is another powerful bow that was well hidden until now. The Norden’s Arc bow is acquired by, of all things, breaking a pile of stones....

I had heard they were in the finals of the Copa Sudamericana – these things always come under the scanner of a football journalist - but that’s about it. I didn’t know them. I do now. I know that they were a grand fairytale story in the making - an unheralded team from a little-known city called Chapecó in the state of Santa Catarina, deep in the South of Brazil, that had made it big....

One thing Baker probably didn’t expect to see, however, was two postseason no-hitters in his lifetime — one coming when he was the manager of the team being no-hit, and the other coming when he was the manager of the team throwing the no-hitter. Even weirder, both games were against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. It’s the kind of serendipity that baseball tends to create. There have been three no-hitters in MLB postseason history....
