However, the team currently ranked 10th in the world have always come up short during the final stages of tournaments (EURO 2000, World Cup 2006, EURO 2012) and are still yet to win a major trophy. What is missing in such a talented team boasting the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani, Joao Moutinho and Fabio Coentrao that is preventing them from going the extra mile? It’s fair to say that Portugal’s best chance of winning a trophy came in the period of 2004-2006 – when the golden generation of Portugal were present, featuring the likes of Luis Figo, Rui Costa, Pauleta, Maniche, Deco, Nuno Gomes and many more, not to mention a teenage Cristiano Ronaldo....

Fans, though, shouldn’t hold their breath for a blockbuster deal. Since 2017, the Yankees have been players at the trade deadline. The truth is, though, they’re not major players in the seismic moves that come down at the buzzer. You read the headlines: “Yankees inquiring…” “Yankees putting out feelers…” That’s all fine and good, but when it comes to the mega-stars on the market at deadline time, the Yankees have been a tier or two below....

Well, if you delete duplicate photos on Android, you will gain more storage space, and it will boost the performance of your phone. Can I delete duplicate files on my phone? Yes, you can delete duplicate files on your phone. In this post, we will tell you the effective methods to remove duplicate files from Android. Should I remove duplicate files? Yes, we should always remove the duplicate files from our phones as they only create more confusion....

He despises colonialism and its aftermath. But he also sneers at the formerly colonized. Islam, he recently informed the world, is beneath contempt–but then, so is every other religion. Never say that Naipaul is not an equal-opportunity offender. In books, articles and interviews, he has managed to belittle or insult nearly every culture under the sun, including that of his adopted England. He has jeered at every writer of stature still living and quite a few long dead....

Numerous studies have now correlated the time people are sitting (watching TV, working, using a computer, driving, eating) to a greatly increased risk of cardiovascular disease. In addition, sitting time correlates strongly with metabolic syndrome, diabetes, obesity, hypertension, increased triglycerides, and reduced HDL (”good”) cholesterol, and even cancer. Worse, one large meta-analysis published in 2015 indicates that even participation in regular exercise does not mitigate the negative effects of prolonged sitting....

Splitgate seems like it’s going to stay in the public eye for quite a while as it isn’t even a full release yet and many fans who are waiting patiently to try it out have been sent away due to the long queue times. Once it gets a full release, it’ll likely keep its current fans and bring in everyone who wanted to try it out but couldn’t commit the time to wait....

There have been games like Stardew Valley before, and plenty that have been inspired by its particular style and sensibility after its release, but ConcernedApe’s impressive release does such a singular job of showing what a relaxing game should accomplish. People that aren’t necessarily too familiar with the hobby often have a perception that video games are all guns and violence, but that’s only a part of the diverse and creative industry....

The appointments come as a direct defiance to the Supreme Court-appointed Lodha committee’s recommendations as two of the members namely Khoda and Paranjape have never played Test cricket. The Lodha committee had specially stated that the selection committee should only have three cricketers and that each of them should have Test match experience. The BCCI’s eligibility criteria, however, states: “He/She should have represented the Indian team either in a Test match or a one-day international or more than 50 first-class matches in India, in a team selected by the BCCI to be considered for the Senior National selection Committee....

The mini announced last week features a 5.4-inch display and a 5G connection starting at $699. The petite phone arrives as mobile phones have ballooned from the candy bar-like Nokia of yesteryear to the latest iPhone 12 with its 6.1-inch screen or the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, with its massive 6.9-inch display. But smaller can be better, some observers say. “Phones have gotten bigger over time, which supports video-heavy applications, like gaming, social media, and Zoom,” Lydia Chilton, a professor who studies human-computer interaction at Columbia University, said in an email interview....

The crackdown is also part of a collective effort by US lawmakers, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to strengthen their oversight of crypto trading. As the cryptocurrency industry grows and investors profit from it, the government is seeking to collect taxes from the income generated. However, the effort has not yielded much result, hence the renewed effort by the IRS to ensure maximum compliance....

Season 7 of the show has already been renewed, meaning that the short-term future of Claire Randall (played by Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) is secured. After that, however, the show could be coming to an end. Balfe recently gave an interview in which she spoke about the show’s future and hinted that Outlander could end with Season 7 – despite the fact that there are still at least two more of Diana Gabaldon’s books to be adapted....

Nintendo’s Switch game console can be handheld, like a Game Boy, or hooked up to a TV and used like a regular home console. This, along with a huge range of excellent games, makes it just about the most flexible and family-friendly console around. Because of this, the Switch is the perfect way to while away these pandemic-stilted days. Nintendo = Fun The Switch doesn’t have the graphical power to run the latest high-concept first-person shooter games, nor does it output a 4K signal to your TV....

Those who are currently playtesting the game, along with those who watch Overwatch 2 streamers, are likely already familiar with the new Quick Play mode that got introduced. At the moment the only modes that are available are Unranked, which features Role Queue and Open Queue, alongside Custom Games, and the Practice Range, but Overwatch 2’s Quick Play shows how the first game could have benefitted from a similar system....

Those are some of the greatest streaks in the history of sport, but when it comes to sports-entertainment, there’s one streak that comes up on top: 21-0. Goldberg might have something to say about that, considering he went 173-0 at one point in his career. The numbers might favour Goldberg, but the legacy and the aura of The Undertaker‘s streak is unmistakably superior. The thing that stands out the most about The Phenom’s streak is that the event is WrestleMania....

Of the few great Wii U games on the system, some of the most popular titles were The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD remasters. While the Nintendo Switch featured The Legend of Zelda’s next big step in Breath of the Wild, the Switch also got the fantastic Link’s Awakening remake as well. Now there will presumably be a long lull in Zelda games on the Switch until Breath of the Wild’s sequel, but there doesn’t have to be....

New York, sitting at 5-10 early in the season, looks like it could come up short on “World Series or bust” expectations again in 2021, if the returns so far are any indication of long-term success. GM Brian Cashman spoke to reporters on Monday, which felt eerily reminiscent of that one scene in “The Naked Gun.” “This is a bad stretch and we’re gonna get though this together,” Cashman said....

Season 2 of the Nancy Drew spin-off may not be happening at the CW, but its maker, CBS Studios, has said it might try to get another network to pick up the show. For now, though, the show about a billionaire inventor is done. Here’s what we know about why the show is ending. Why Did the CW Cancel Tom Swift? There seem to be two main reasons why Tom Swift will not be back for Season 2....

Tottenham have been on his tail for a while now and have been linked with the Frenchman in the last two windows. Recent reports say they have reignited their interest in the player. West Ham are also said to be keen on the player. Even though there isn’t any real indication as to whether Tottenham or West Ham are genuinely interested in the player, it is definitely clear that Rabiot doesn’t want to stay at PSG....

For other people, maybe it was another moment. Maybe it was the two-hour pilot episode of “Lost,” which opened with the nightmarish aftermath of a plane crash on a deserted, and deeply peculiar, tropical island. It cost ABC a small fortune–reportedly $12 million–but it proved that network TV could match the scope and storytelling electricity of a feature film. For me, my “moment” is every single episode of “The Wire,” the astounding HBO series that’s been labeled a crime drama but is actually a sprawling, visual novel about the decline and fall of an American city....
