Schuster has stated that Xavi’s first task is to unite the Barcelona players and give them a style of play that suits their potential. Speaking to German publication Bild (via PSG Talk), Schuster said: Xavi Hernandez has been revealed as Barcelona’s new manager following the sacking of Ronald Koeman. He was previously the manager of Qatari side Al-Sadd. The 41-year-old won one Qatar Stars League and two Qatar Cups during his tenure in the Middle East....

Despite her gruesome injuries, which saw her “rotting” flesh “falling off,” Haddie is now living her best “spoiled” life, after being given a new home by Erin Williams. Williams, from Washington D.C., got Haddie in August 2020, as she recovered from extensive surgeries to repair the damage to her face. Williams explained the pup was rescued by a good Samaritan, and brought to Mutt Scouts, based in South California. They were faced with high vet bills owing to the severity of Haddie’s injuries, which they funded via donations....

The 11th-ranked Barty who earlier in the week had assured herself a spot in the top 10 showed she deserved that position with her phenomenal play in the final, reports Efe news. The 22-year-old Australian was playing in her first championship match of a WTA Premier mandatory event. Her nerves were apparent when she fell behind 3-1 in the early going. But Barty got herself into gear in the sixth game, showing off her wide range of shots from the baseline, to make it 3-3....

And just when you think that the hype could not get any bigger, director of Arkham Knight and Rocksteady co-founder, Sefton Hill, has teased about a brand new trailer (and character) which will be revealed sometime in the coming weeks. Hill tweeted that the new trailer has been delayed because they have “thought of a much more exciting way” to release it. He then requested fans to “wait a bit longer” and even mentioned that the trailer is “looking sweet” and will contain “someone familiar from Arkham City”....

[HTML1] Warner Bros. Montreal has one hard act to follow: with Batman: Arkham Origins, they won’t just be building a game around one of the most iconic superheroes of all time, but trying to live up to two of the best action titles of this generation. Although fans of Arkham Asylum and Arkham City may bristle at the thought of the property being handed off to such a green studio - they were founded solely for this series - but the newest look behind the scenes proves they’re fans of Rocksteady’s work, and are looking not to tarnish the franchise, but understand what made it so successful, and emulate it....

That became obvious when Fox TV unveiled plans for a March 13 “Battle of the Bad Girls” between skating pariah Tonya Harding and former Buttafuco gal pal Amy Fisher. The two will actually box three rounds and, despite a referee’s presence, one suspects this will be a no-holds-barred affair. Hard for even a savvy sports guy like me to predict this outcome. I know Tonya, and she’s not only a former champion athlete, but she spits nails....

The motorcycle reveal, as we mentioned before, comes by way of a promotional image for End Game, which is set to release some time in March of 2013. First up, however, is Armored Kill, the new tank-heavy DLC that promises to be a huge counterpoint to the Close Quarters expansion that has been rocking the Battlefield 3 multiplayer recently. There are no details about said motorcycles, only that they will be lethal and fast....

In the second part of their Back to Karkand series of Battlefield 3 Blog posts, DICE takes a look at the iconic and historic location and explains why it holds such a dear spot in the hearts of those who work at DICE. Over the years Wake Island has seen itself graphically upgraded, with each iteration making the locale even more beautiful and stunning, a vision of beauty despite the destructive war it plays home to....

While we’ve already detailed gamers’ struggles with Grand Theft Auto Online, the Battlefield 4 server crashes have been just as prevalent. And today, EA and DICE have posted a list of known problems and promised gamers they are working to fix them. In addition to server connection problems, Battlefield 4 beta participants have been reporting a wide variety of in-game issues from the hit indicator disappearing when firing at enemies to stats not registering on Battlelog....

Drawing from last year’s Battlefield 3 beta as a point of comparison, that would lead us to believe the release of Battlefield 4 should be during the holiday season of 2013. The EA employee confirmed the assumption by saying a release should take place sometime after the beta. It’s a little disconcerting to see Battlefield fall into the Call of Duty trap of releasing titles every two years (speaking strictly from a development perspective, I’m aware that COD releases every year), but more Battlefield is certainly something to get excited about....

[HTML1] After going toe-to-toe with Call of Duty for the title of “Most Over-the-Top Simulation of Modern Warfare” for the past decade or so, this year the Battlefield franchise decided to shake things up a bit. Switching from the front lines of combat to the war on crime, Battlefield Hardline drops players into a good old-fashioned game of cops and crooks. Gamers jumped at the chance to play both sides of the law, making Hardline the top-selling game in March 2015....

The Serb, who won the match in straight sets, had to rush over to the toilet at 3-2 in the first set and appeared to ignore requests from the chair umpire telling him not to go at the time, as the rules stipulate how often and when players are allowed such extended breaks in the match. Responding to the video on Thursday via Instagram, the 21-time Grand Slam revealed that the chair umpire had actually given in to his demands, which wasn’t captured by the cameras....

The 32-year-old, who set up the equaliser in Sunday’s 1-1 Premier League draw with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, is yet to win silverware in England despite making over 200 appearances for various Premier League clubs. Palace, who take on Champions League-chasing Manchester United on Wednesday, will hope to reap the rewards of their faith shown in Adebayor when they face Watford in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Sunday....

Posted by Dave Nelson on August 12, the video amassed more than 60,000 views on Instagram and Facebook as it shows Nelson’s chocolate labrador Moe (short for Mokuleia), jumping and swimming in the surf with a sea lion known to them as “Sammy.” “They started playing and even played fetch together,” Nelson’s caption read. “To say it was beautiful would be an understatement.” According to the American Kennel Club, labrador retrievers are a popular breed known for their outgoing nature....

Liverpool fans were extremely impressed with their team’s performance, especially Salah’s display at Anfield. Fans took to social media platforms to react to the match as many called the Egyptian the best player in the world right now. The 29-year-old is arguably the best player in Europe’s top five leagues right now. This season, Salah has scored 27 goals from 31 appearances in all competitions and has also managed to assist 10 goals in the Premier League....

Last Tuesday, Adams eliminated Bennett during a spontaneous two-on-one date. He was put up against Noah Erb after the pair of men caused tiresome drama that never seemed to end. For weeks, Noah and Bennett were at odds. That is, until Adams sent Bennett home. At the end of the episode, though, Bennett showed up at Adams’ door and confessed his love to her. She claimed that she needed time to think about his admission....

Hosted by Milk Bar’s Christina Tosi, the show sees four professional bakers try their best to win the business of the latest client. These clients are not the ordinary, as they have very important events from weddings to cancer survivor parties to celebrate. The contestants learn as much as they can about their clients before starting their bakes, and try to bring their personalities into their foods. There is a cake expert and chocolatier extraordinaire among the bakers, as well as the host who is on hand to provide whatever they need to take their bakes to the next level....

This has left viewers, hundreds of thousands of whom signed a petition to save the show when it was axed, wondering whether Netflix may revive the show, as they did with other canceled shows like Lucifer and Designated Survivor. Speaking to Newsweek, Baker and the Beauty creator Dean Georgaris and lead actress Nathalie Kelley both expressed openness for bringing a Season 2 to the streaming service. “I think I can speak for everyone when I say we would love to do a Season 2,” said Georgaris....

Although Isco has been in sublime form in the closing stages of the 2016-17 campaign, the Spain international is in danger of losing his starting berth to Bale following the Welshman’s return from injury. Bale fit for final, but expects bench role Bale has not featured since the La Liga defeat at the hands of Barcelona on April 23, but recently resumed squad training after shrugging off a calf problem....

Modric said Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure had affected the team, and although some players had taken his position, his substitution would be hard as he scored 50 goals per year during his time at the La Liga side, reports Efe news. “Bale is fine. He looks good to me but what I can say about every player is that at stages of their career they don’t feel great and that happens to everyone....
