There have been several controversial decisions in the tournament so far, the majority relating to the use of VAR. Goalkeeper encroachment at penalties has been a contentious issue, with several spot kicks being retaken in the group stage after it was deemed the keepers did not have at least part of one foot on the goal-line. That rule was introduced shortly before the competition in France started, with Scotland eliminated in the group stages after Argentina were allowed to retake a spot kick that had initially been saved....

Then their two best young players pulled them out of danger. John Collins matched his career high with 35 points and fell one shy of his career best with 16 rebounds, and the Hawks handed the Suns their 10th straight loss, 118-112 on Saturday night. Trae Young scored 17 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter, when the Hawks pulled away. “I don’t think I helped my team in the first three quarters,” Young said....

Cologne remains unbeaten this season, as Anthony Modeste’s second-half goal cancelled out Joshua Kimmich’s opener to seal Bayern’s first draw, reports Xinhua. The German giants dictated the pace on home soil but lacked in ideas to threaten Cologne defence. Thus, Cologne custodian Timo Horn remained largely untested before Joshua Kimmich marked the opener out of the blue in the 35th minute. Juan Bernat’s cross into the box found Kimmich, who broke the deadlock with a diving header from very close range....

Six people were pulled alive from the wreckage of the LAMIA airlines charter plane that crashed into a hillside near Medellin on Monday, reports Xinhua. Three were players from Brazilian football club Chapecoense, while a Brazilian journalist and two flight staff also survived. The most critical case is that of goalkeeper Jakson Follmann, who has had one leg partially amputated and is in danger of losing the other.

A viral post on Reddit shows a colorized photo of New Orleans, Louisiana from 1906, colorized by Sanna Dullaway, who colorizes all kinds of classic black and white photographs. Dullaway’s colorization of 1906 New Orleans is the spitting image of Saint Denis from Red Dead Redemption 2, which is no surprise when one considers the fictional city’s inspiration. As many fans of Red Dead Redemption 2 likely know, Saint Denis is based on New Orleans, with Rockstar Games clearly going through a lot of trouble to provide an accurate recreation of the city in its open world western game....

The symptoms surrounding the 40-year-old quarterback’s stomach bug were quite grotesque.

When Jacoby Brissett took over under center for the Colts after Andrew Luck’s shock retirement, the team were quickly counted out. However, thanks in part to Brissett’s efforts, Indianapolis entered Week 5 at .500 and have made the case they are still playoff contenders. The Chiefs, who entered Week 5 undefeated, posed a stiff challenge for Brissett and the Colts at Arrowhead Stadium. Brissett played well, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes might have been a little better, but the Colts won....

After the offensive onslaught the Broncos led through the league in 2013, it’s no surprise Manning is on the LVH SuperBook’s props board at 2.5 touchdowns. Before you write off three passing scores as a foregone conclusion for Manning, consider he’s without Eric Decker, who left via free agency, and Wes Welker, who is suspended for the first four games. Emmanuel Sanders replaced Decker and looked good in the preseason, but that’s preseason....

The Colts gave up a ridiculous 522 passing yards in last week’s 51-34 loss at Pittsburgh. New York had a bye week to stew over a two-game losing streak in which it was outscored 58-21. Andrew Luck leads the league with 2,731 passing yards and is tied for the NFL lead with 22 passing touchdowns. Eli Manning has gone three straight games without an interception but isn’t taking many chances downfield....

During his two-plus-year tenure with Washington, Ron Rivera hasn’t had the best grasp of the team’s quarterback situation. From Alex Smith to Taylor Heinicke to Ryan Fitzpatrick to Carson Wentz, the position has been a carousel of misfortune and ineffectiveness. Sources told ESPN for a story published Thursday that the offseason acquisition of Wentz was driven by team owner Dan Snyder and not Rivera. After the Commanders’ ugly 12-7 win over the Bears in Chicago on “Thursday Night Football,” an angry Rivera delivered a speech backing his passer and seeking to set the record straight on who really made the call to bring Wentz in:...
