The Italian politician had been struggling with his health since September but continued his duties as EU Parliament President as much as possible. He is remembered by his colleagues for his commitment to seeking justice, whether it was for migrants crossing the Mediterranean or political prisoners in Russia. “We can be that hope when we don’t ignore those in need,” Sassoli had said during his new year address. “When we don’t build walls on our borders....

In their first match of Euro 2016, Antonio Conte and his men produced a tactical masterclass against Belgium winning the tie 2-0. Goals from Emanuele Giaccherini and Graziano Pelle helped the Azzurri’s put up a show which shamed the Belgian stars. Ibrahimovic led Sweden, however, survived a scare as they drew 1-1 against The Republic of Ireland thanks to a Ciaran Clark own goal which levelled the match after a Wes Hoolahan goal put the Irish ahead early in the second half....

In a statement to EFE, Raul said “possibilities in the Euro will be very open with the presence of great teams. I consider that Spain is playing in a group of high quality, and has to defend the title. I have confidence that things will go well.” The former Real Madrid captain added: “Among the rivals I think it will be Germany, which is the world champion; France, which is very strong and also plays at home....

One of those teams is definitely Spain, who have gone from favourites in Group E to a side battling to secure a ticket to the last 16. La Roja drew 0-0 with Sweden in their opening game and currently find themselves in a difficult situation. On Saturday, Luis Enrique’s side fought to a 1-1 draw against Poland. Despite opening the scoring through Alvaro Morata, Spain couldn’t pick up the three points....

In front of just over 8,000 fans, Luxembourg gave their best in a bid to avoid an embarrassing scoreline and they held their more illustrious opponents at bay for most of the match and might have come away with something but for a lack of composure in the final third. The fixture wraps up proceedings from Group B of Euro 2020 Qualification and here, we highlight three talking points from the fixture....

The teams qualifying for the Round of 16 were the top two teams in each of the six groups, plus the four best third-place finishers. Tiebreakers were used in those cases that teams were even on points in the group stage. Here are the Euro 2021 tiebreakers that were used if two or more teams finished with the same points total in their group (we had just one three-way tiebreaker in Group B):...

Chelsea are seven points clear of Tottenham at the top of the table heading into the Easter weekend fixtures and travel to Manchester United on Sunday. United boss Jose Mourinho has regularly complained of fixture congestion this season, with his EFL Cup winners currently in the quarter-finals of the Europa League. Morata? Lukaku? Costa still the man Mourinho and his Manchester City counterpart Pep Guardiola have both cited the advantage afforded to Conte by being able to implement his tactics across unbroken midweeks on the training field....

The Desperate Housewives star upset a lot of people with her remarks in which she claimed that Latinas were the “real heroines” of the Democrats’ election victory, while seemingly downplaying the voter turnout among Black women. Appearing on MSNBC, Longoria, the 45-year-old said: “The women of color showed up in a big way. Of course, you saw in Georgia what Black women have done, but Latina women were the real heroines here....

The effort to calm fears was not successful. There are 10 million users of cellular phones in America, and by the end of the week phone companies and retailers thought they were all calling with questions. On Wall Street last Friday, Motorola’s stock dropped by nearly $5, and shares in McCaw Cellular, the largest cellular-phone operator, fell by more than $3. Cellular phones with built-in transmitters emit high-frequency radio waves....

A win at the Goodison on Sunday will put Liverpool back at the top of the Premier League table, but the three points will not come easy. Here, we look at three key battles that will determine the outcome of the Merseyside derby on Sunday. #1 Lucas Digne vs Mohamed Salah Liverpool’s Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, who has taken the Premier League by storm over the last couple of years, will be up against Everton’s left-back Lucas Digne....

According to a major lawsuit filed by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, Activision Blizzard routinely paid women less than men, disciplined women in ways male employees never were, despite them displaying worse behavior, and was less likely to promote women at all levels. The suit also alleges that the offices of the company—which is responsible for popular franchises such as Call of Duty and World of Warcraft—were rife with sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior....

Known as the “father of eugenics,” British Victorian scientist and statistician Sir Francis Galton developed the since debunked theory that individuals deemed “superior” according to factors such as their race or class could be socially engineered. Those regarded as biologically inferior and “feeble-minded” should, meanwhile, be prevented from having children, he argued. Cherry picking the theories of his cousin Charles Darwin, who pioneered the theory of evolution, Galton developed a ranking of humans—for instance placing Australian Aborigines one “grade” below Africans....

Ronaldo endured a miserable night, missing a penalty in the 78th minute, after spending a majority of the game being frustrated, with none of his 10 shots finding the target. The Portuguese frontman’s misery after the penalty miss continued, having a goal from a free-kick ruled out for offside, but not before Ronaldo and most of the Portugal bench had begun their celebrations. Given the disappointment that was etched on Ronaldo’s face at the final whistle, it would have been understandable for the Real Madrid striker to brusquely brush off a fan who had invaded the pitch to grab a selfie with the Portuguese superstar....

Euro 2020 will play host to some of world football’s premier strikers who are bound to set the stage ablaze. But there are some lesser-known names at this year’s Euros, who have the potential to steal the limelight. Without further ado, let’s take a look at the 5 strikers who could surprise you in the upcoming Euro 2020. #5 Ante Rebic | Croatia The AC Milan striker was an unsung hero in Croatia’s magical run to the 2018 World Cup finals....

Mario Mandzukic’s extra-time winner sent Zlatko Dalic’s men through to the final in Russia at the expense of the Three Lions. England gained a measure of revenge for that loss by edging out Croatia to reach last season’s Nations League Finals. They have since progressed to Euro 2020 courtesy of a free-scoring qualifying campaign with a youthful squad, although Southgate believes any suggestions Croatia’s experienced generation led by Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic is on the slide are premature....

Marco Richter scored twice as Germany started their campaign with victory over Denmark and he was on target again with the opener in Trieste on Thursday. Levin Oztunali slipped a perfect throughball into Richter’s path and he beat the offside flag to dink a super finish over onrushing goalkeeper Boris Radunovic. More incisive Germany passing opened Serbia up again on the half-hour, Richter unselfishly squaring the ball for Waldschmidt to tuck home a simple finish....
