The Paris Saint-Germain striker has been struggling with a calf problem this week and only resumed team training on Thursday. Oscar Tabarez has opted to leave Cavani on the bench for Friday’s game in Nizhny Novgorod, with Cristhian Stuani, who came on to replace him in the last-16 win over Portugal, taking his place in the team. Uruguay’s line-up is otherwise the same that started that 2-1 victory in Sochi, while France have also made only one change to the team that beat Argentina 4-3 in the last round, with Corentin Tolisso replacing the suspended Blaise Matuidi....

Atleti were top heading into the final matchweek but Tuesday’s 0-0 draw against Club Brugge handed the initiative to Borussia Dortmund. It means Simeone’s men will face a group winner in the first knockout round, with PSG a potential opponent and Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Juventus aiming to cement first place in their own sections on Wednesday. However, Atleti have long made a habit of upsetting better-resourced clubs under their Argentinian head coach....

Thankfully, it turns out that PC users will effectively have their own galaxy to discover. According to Hello Games founder Sean Murray, No Man’s Sky for PC will have be using a different server to the PS4 version of the game. That means that a PC player will have just as much chance of naming planets as their PS4 counterparts, even though the PC version of the game is launching a little later....

GOP lawmakers, including top Republican leaders and close allies to President Donald Trump, said they did not understand why the unrelated funding was included in the $1 trillion package and would support excluding it from any legislation that is eventually passed. “I am opposed to non-germane amendments, whether it’s funding for the FBI building” or other non-coronavirus measures included in previous proposals, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said. As examples, he cited House Democrats’ $3 trillion stimulus plan in the Spring that included money for some undocumented immigrants, marijuana studies and tax cuts that would overwhelmingly benefit the wealthy....

To the world, the 1996 Olympics is another American Games, the third here in 16 years. To Americas, it is the Atlanta Games, a destination for next summer’s vacation. But in Atlanta, everybody knows these are Billy Payne’s Games. “Billy’s a rare combination of vision, bulldog-hard work and old-fashioned Southern charm,” says Atlanta Mayor Bill Campbell. “It’s easy to understand how the International Olympic Committee was seduced by him.”...

Zinedine Zidane has left the Portugal star out of his plans after he picked up an ankle injury in the 2-2 draw with Barcelona last Sunday. It is still hoped Ronaldo will be fit for the Champions League final, though, with Zidane having backed the 33-year-old to recover fully. Keylor Navas, Marcelo, Raphael Varane, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos have also all been rested for the trip to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan....

Through an official presentation, expertly titled ‘Nintendo Switch Presentation’, the hardware manufacturer confirmed to the masses that the next iteration of its hardware will officially be arriving on March 3, 2017 in North America. This goes against a leaked retail listing for the Nintendo Switch, which prematurely ousted the placeholder date. While gamers now have a date to mark on their calendars though, they’ll have to ensure that they have enough in their budget to afford the modestly priced console now that the Nintendo Switch’s price point has also been revealed....

In case you didn’t know… Following his departure from TNA/Impact Wrestling, former Impact World Champion AJ Styles made his debut for top Japanese promotion New Japan Pro Wrestling in 2014. Following Styles’ debut for the promotion, ‘The Phenomenal One’ immediately associated himself with legendary faction The Bullet Club, where he eventually became the leader of the group, taking over from the departing Finn Balor (then Prince Devitt).

The Dodgers' rookie sensation thought he had homered against Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright in Game 3 of the NLCS. He even broke out the "I rule" pose: The ball hit the right-field fence, and Puig had to turn on the jets to salvage a triple. Cardinals players are not pleased with the Dodgers' level of enthusiasm. “I think he doesn’t know,” Beltran said, according to MLB.com. “He still thinks he’s playing somewhere else, I don’t know....

This is true because a hot dog, unequivocally, is not a sandwich. People who think otherwise are pedants, hell-bent on needlessly complicating their lives. Hot dogs are hot dogs, just like hamburgers are hamburgers. Spiritually, this is true. Alek Tanguay is on the side of righteousness. Congrats to Mr. Tanguay on playing in his 1,000th NHL game and not being an idiot.

“Happy Halloween! Quick question: Do you respect wood? I revere wood,” Hawk wrote, quoting a 2009 episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm where David scoffs at someone who does not respect wood. Hawk dressed in khaki pants, brown sneakers, a blue collared shirt and sports jacket. He completed the iconic look with a wig/bald cap that mimics the comic’s hairline. What makes this charade even more interesting is the fact that 2019 wasn’t the first time the pro skater donned “the David....

This week, President Biden gave his stamp of approval to this framing, saying that he agreed with Obama. Biden did not go as far as some in his party, who have called for the filibuster to be eliminated altogether, but suggested it is in need of some kind of reform. It is not surprising to see the Democrats associate the filibuster with racism. It’s an understandable tactic, because Americans belong to one of the world’s most tolerant societies; most of us do not want to be associated with overt racial discrimination in any way, shape, or form....

MARSEILLE, France (Reuters) - On the day Britain votes on Brexit, England, Wales and Northern Ireland are planning on maintaining close ties with the continent after all three surprisingly advanced to the knockout stage of Euro 2016. It is a remarkable achievement and for one of Wales and Northern Ireland – both appearing in the European championship finals for the first time – it is guaranteed to continue for at least another week after the two were paired in the round of 16....

Coach Thomas Tuchel had earlier ruled out Mbappe, who had only recently returned from a hamstring injury. But Tuchel, speaking at his pre-match news conference, said PSG would wait to make a decision on record goalscorer Cavani, who has been out with a hip issue since August.
