The experienced former Spain international, who signed from Valencia in 2010 and has won 10 major trophies at the Etihad Stadium, takes over the armband from Vincent Kompany, who joined Anderlecht as player-manager at the end of last season. In June, Silva announced 2019-20 will be his last with City. Guardiola said the 33-year-old playmaker, who was elected by team-mates, will be supported by vice-captains Fernandinho, Kevin De Bruyne and Sergio Aguero....

City welcomes Barca to the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night, almost two weeks after Lionel Messi scored a hat trick as Luis Enrique’s men eventually ran out comfortable winners. But Silva insists his side was playing well up until Claudio Bravo was sent off for handballing outside the box, and points out that Messi’s opening goal only came about thanks to an untimely slip by Fernandinho in the penalty area....

After a silver medal-winning run with Malaysia U22 in the recent SEA Games, Pahang defender and captain Matthew Davies is excited to return to the Malaysia senior team. The Australian-born right back, along with five of his Young Tigers teammates, has recently been called up by Malaysia head coach Nelo Vingada for the first time, for their October 10 Asian Cup qualification group match against Hong Kong. Although Davies has featured regularly for the Malaysia senior team last year under former boss Datuk Ong Kim Swee, he missed the last few call-ups due to injury and his duty with Malaysia U22....

Getting anything out of those players would only sweeten the deal for what will forever be remembered as one of the most lopsided trades in NBA history. The odds of it being Lorbek are slim — the 32-year-old hasn’t played competitively since 2014 and recently failed a physical for French team Limoges Cercle Saint-Pierre — but Bertans has shown promise as a stretch four with the Spurs this season....

Each player held their serve in the opening game, before the hosts led 4-2 after breaking Bopanna’s serve in the sixth game. Daniell and Sitak weren’t troubled by the Indian duo as they wrapped up the first set. India had a chance to go 3-1 up in the second set on Daniell’s serve, but both New Zealand players hit superb winners to make it 2-2. The second set went to a tie-breaker with no breaks of serve....

Djokovic, who lost in the US Open semi-finals in New York City Friday, figures in the official list put out by the International Tennis Federation, but Obradovic said he would be able to confirm the participation of the 28-year-old star only after speaking with him Sunday night. “I still haven’t had a word with Novak after his match. I plan to do so tonight (Sunday night), so I will check with him what the situation is....

Youngsters can go to the Google machine and learn the “African Queen” is a classic movie with Humphrey Bogart as a ship captain reluctantly ferrying Katharine Hepburn through a jungle. Our Colin Swatton, with no boat, was only searching for a foothold on the creek’s far bank. There he hoped to find Jason Day’s golf ball and save the lad’s chance at history. What happened next goes down here as a hero’s thrilling escape....

As reported last week in the local newspaper, The Bulletin, Sony Bend is getting ready to jump into one of Bend, Oregon’s newest and high profile office buildings known as Crane Shed Commons. The move is expected to finalize in September, facilitated by the fact that the development studio has more than doubled in size since the start of Days Gone, going from 45 employees to over 103. Traditionally in game development, it’s common for studios to grow during a project as it nears completion, at which point many of the contract workers then depart the studio once finished....

Even as Days Gone received mixed reception from critics, the game found its audience almost immediately, with fans praising Bend Studio’s open-world PS4 debut. The game currently sits at a critical average of 71 on Metacritic, with a user score of 8.3. For all intents and purposes, Days Gone is arguably the biggest underdog of the PlayStation 4’s first-party catalogue. To many who didn’t enjoy the game when it first released, it might be worth revisiting Days Gone on PS4/PS5, especially as the game is part of the PlayStation Plus Collection....

Many fans have shared their desire for a sequel to Days Gone, and while that may never happen, it will be intriguing to see what IP Bend Studio tackles next. It would be painfully unfortunate if gamers displeased with Days Gone were unwilling to play anything thereafter from Bend, especially since there is one property that Bend could potentially knock out of the park. Marvel games are continuously on the rise, with standalone characters taking the limelight such as Insomniac Games’ Marvel’s Spider-Man....

Batman is DC’s most profitable superhero, so it makes sense that the focus of its products would be on him. He has gotten the most films of any DC hero, and the same goes for video games. Players do not have to look far to play a game about Batman, but it is a disservice to other characters like Aquaman and even Superman that do not get as much time to shine....

The 36-year-old midfielder had spent his entire professional career at Roma, having come through their academy, but they opted to let him leave on a free transfer and that sparked protests from supporters. Initially the former Italy international looked destined to retire, but Boca emerged as a potential destination, and it soon became apparent De Rossi had long desired to represent Los Xeneizes. De Rossi was given a hero’s welcome upon his arrival in Buenos Aires, and Boca confirmed his signing on Thursday after he agreed a 12-month contract....

The drugs were found in six duffel bags along I-70 in Putnam County, just west of Indianapolis, Indiana, reported WDRB. Speaking to CBS 4, DEA Assistant Special Agent in Charge Mike Gannon said they received a call from a driver who said he spotted the bags by the side of the road and called authorities in Putnam County. Gannon said the bags contained 225 pounds of meth, with a street value of more than $10 million....

The annual design contest for Dead by Deadlight is back in 2021, more popular than ever. As with previous years, there were technically two different contests being held at the same time. One contest is for a Survivor’s costume while the second is for a Killer’s costume. This year had a ton of great submissions, but as ever there can only be two winners. The Survivor winner’s costume is a tattooed Afropunk costume for Elodie and the Killer winner is a regal purple butterfly costume for The Plague....

Now, over a year later, fans of the game have learned more about the long-awaited next chapter as the upcoming DLC enters the Public Test Beta phase. After some teasing, developer Behaviour Interactive has shown off Resident Evil: Project W, featuring two new Survivors, Ada Wong and Rebecca Chambers, and one new Killer, the infamous Albert Wesker. Furthermore, Behaviour has dropped a release date for the DLC, which may be coming sooner than some expect....

Since Dead by Daylight was released, the developer has continued to support the game with new player characters and killers to choose from. The Dead by Daylight game often features crossovers with other horror franchises such as Saw and other slasher films. Now, however, it appears the developer wants to expand its resume.

Hong Kong Free Press reported on Friday that the photo—which shows six silver body bags left on stretchers next to three living COVID patients on a hospital ward—was taken at the Accident & Emergency ward of Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Jordan, Hong Kong. The article cited an anonymous hospital source. The source told the website that the photo had been taken in early March, and the situation is now under control as workers speed up transfers of the bodies to mortuaries....

U.S. prosecutors were after Ruiz Massieu too. He was to fly to Houston last week to be arraigned on charges that he had laundered $9 million in drug money. But two days before the court appearance, in what investigators, his wife, Maria, and his lawyers are calling a suicide, he died from an overdose of antidepressants, derailing a trial that was likely to touch the highest echelons of power in Mexico and further tangle U....

As a result of this recent anniversary, fans have been quick to share their favorite stories from Dead Space 2 in celebration of the legacy that the series still maintains.

During the interview, Ambrose cut a promo on Bray Wyatt and said that he would break Wyatt’s leg tonight. “I will break Bray Wyatt’s leg tonight if it’s the last thing I do!” Ambrose exclaimed. “I’m making a promise to the people of Kansas City!” Ambrose also teased The Undertaker appearing on tonight’s show. “The Undertaker has been looming and lurking around WWE for the past 24 hours,” Ambrose said....
