Chelsea defender Rudiger told Cesar Azpilicueta he was subjected to racist chants during their 2-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on December 22. The Germany international was allegedly targeted shortly after Spurs’ Son Heung-min was sent off for kicking out at his opponent. Referee Anthony Taylor called for an announcement to be made over the stadium’s public address system to warn fans against making abusive chants. The findings of Tottenham’s initial probe were “inconclusive” and having passed all materials gathered to the authorities, the police found no evidence to support the allegation of racial abuse....

Questions also persist about Giuliani on the day itself. As Wayne Barrett, a Giuliani biographer, has pointed out, the very images themselves of the mayor’s trekking through apocalyptic ash in lower Manhattan suggest a Giuliani blunder: placing the city’s emergency command center in the World Trade Center, already a known terrorist target. (Giuliani later admitted the command center’s location was poorly chosen.) Had the center been placed in a lower-profile location, the city’s emergency infrastructure might not have been so crippled in the hours after the attacks....

The Kings forward said trade rumors won’t change the way he approaches his job. “I wake up every day and get ready to play the next game,” Gay said via ESPN. “I’m with the Sacramento Kings.

The document concluded that Trump was a part of a “conspiracy” to attempt to overturn the 2020 Presidential election result and prevent Joe Biden from taking office. On January 6, following a speech from Trump, his supporters stormed the Capitol which ultimately failed and later would become one of the key reasons for the formation of the committee to investigate the role the former President had in potentially inciting violence....

“After hundreds of hours & months of research, I have garnered witnesses & documents which reveal the truth behind this impeachment, which includes NO wrongdoing by @realDonaldTrump,” Giuliani wrote. In one tweet, he alleged: “Evidence revealed that corruption in 2016 was so extensive it was POTUS’s DUTY to ask for US-Ukraine investigation…Impeachment is part of Dem cover-up…Extortion, bribery & money laundering goes beyond Biden’s….Also, DNC collusion w/ Ukraine to destroy candidate Trump....

Finishing as leaders of the Pool would mean that Wales would play France in the quarter-finals while a win for Uruguay would mean Wales would take on England in the quarter-finals instead. In the first half of the match, both the teams were very close as Wales scored seven points while Uruguay in reply scored six points. In the second half of the game, Wales left Uruguay way behind them as they picked up 28 points and let Uruguay score just seven points....

The reports are not yet official, but it appears that Human Head’s time with the game has come to an end, and after shopping the project around to several developers Bethesda has handed it over to Arkane Studios, developers of Dishonored. Good news for fans of that stealth/action title, but there’s reason to believe that the Prey 2 players end up with may bear little resemblance to what has been previously advertised....

The report goes into detail regarding how BioWare has shifted much of its resources into Anthem long-term, with both BioWare Edmonton and BioWare Austin focusing on the project. Having been in development since 2012, the pressure is mounting on the studio to ensure that Anthem succeeds. BioWare’s future may even be reliant on Anthem’s reception. According to sources within the company, many of Anthem’s developers feel both “optimistic and anxious” regarding the project....

Following Portugal’s defeat of the Czech Republic, France and Spain now know who they will play in the Euro 2012 semi-finals if they emerge victorious from their quarter-final on Saturday. Despite Cristiano Ronaldo‘s searing form, both teams will hope that Portugal’s presence in the last four is a good omen. France beat Portugal in the semi-finals en route to success at both Euro 1984 and Euro 2000, as well as at the same stage of the 2006 World Cup....

Cancelo joined Juve for €40.4million last month, and negotiations with the defender’s agent Jorge Mendes opened up the possibility of a sensational swoop for five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo, another of his clients. The Portugal captain explained a desire to start a “new cycle” in a farewell letter to Madrid, published prior to the Turin giants announcing they had shelled out €112m to sign the prolific forward on a four-year deal....

Ronaldo has been linked with a move away from the LaLiga winners amid reports he is unhappy at scrutiny of his tax affairs in Spain. The Portugal international has denied defrauding Spanish tax authorities out of €14.7million in image rights. Arbeloa, who won two Champions League titles and a LaLiga crown at Madrid and retired in June, said he was sure Ronaldo would stay. “He is very intelligent. When the perfect moment arrives to speak, he will,” he told El Chiringuito TV....

A few months ago, U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Jarrod Haschert became a viral sensation when he asked Rousey to a Marine Corps Ball. She was flattered by the invitation and said she would go as long as he was a gentleman. After Rousey’s shocking loss to Holly Holm and self-imposed exile from the public eye, it seemed unlikely Rousey would make it to the event.

Portis was selected with the 22nd pick in last June’s draft by the Bulls, but was a healthy scratch in 20 of Chicago’s first 24 games, totaling just 26 minutes in his four appearances. Yet, the early struggles didn’t hurt Portis’ spirits or make him want to leave; it only forced him to work harder.

Eric Striker, ever naive, peered over the lectern at Bills rookie minicamp Friday and took an introductory quiz on his knowledge of Buffalo, the place he’ll call home for summertime at least. First, he stereotyped the city’s inclement climate and confessed to knowing little of the franchise’s four consecutive Super Bowl trips in the early 1990s — unfortunate but forgivable offenses.

Despite all that, the Bills traded the 9th overall pick and a future first-rounder for the top receiver in the draft.
