Manchester United join race along with Liverpool to sign Thiago Alcantara

Bayern Munich chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has confirmed that Thiago Alcantara has informed the club that he wants to leave Allianz Arena this summer. The Spanish international is looking to try something new.

Alcantara is a La Masia, Barcelona’s youth academy product. He played 4 years in LaLiga for the Blaugranas but when Pep Guardiola took over at Bayern Munich he signed Alcanata for Bayern. He has now spent 7 seasons at Bayern winning the Bundesliga in each of his seasons and the Champions League in 2020.

The 29-year-old wants to try something new at the end of his career so maybe he would like to play in the Premier League. Champions Liverpool seems to be his next destination. Liverpool would definitely benefit from the addition of such a quality playmaker in the middle of the park.

But now, Manchester United has also joined the race to sign the Spaniard.

According to transfer journalist, Fabrizio Romano, Uli Hoeneß told: “Both Liverpool and Man Utd did not NOT come to us with an offer for Thiago. They are bluffing and waiting until the last week of the window to make a cheap offer. Bayern must decide whether they want to play this game or stand their ground and keep him”.

But the most important point is Manchester United also has an agreement with Thiago. Despite signing Donny Van De Beek, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is looking to add more quality to the midfield.

As things stand now, Thiago will definitely leave Bayern but his next destination is still unknown with Liverpool and Manchester United both in the race.

The video also reveals some features of the handset like- phone shape, back camera module, expected phone size, and etc. So let’s check out all those leaked specifications.

According to the video, Apple will be going for a more ‘Classic’ industrial look for this generation. The back case reveals that the phone is going to be launched with an ironic design, like that of the iPhone 4 and iPhone 5. There is a change in curves and overall silhouette, the standard Mattel frame and also has a glass sandwich construction.

As per the chassis shape in the leaked video, reveals that the phone is going to be launch with a triple camera setup that seems pretty much identical with iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max. The upcoming iPhone 12 Pro also has an additional sensor hole, said to be house the new LiDAR module.

Another noticeable thing is, the chassis has a particular cut-out for both the wireless charging coil and the intriguing magnet positioning system, for charging alignment.

Regarding the other specifications of this upcoming phone, the iPhone 12 series handsets will have a support of 5G network, but only the iPhone 12 Pro Max will have enough room to fit the extra antennas to handle high-frequency signals ( 26-28 Hz ).

It is expected that a total of four iPhone 12 models – two 6.1″ models, a 5.4″ model, and another model having a 6.7″ display, will be launched. iPhone 12 Pro models will not be equipped with a 120Hz refresh rate displays. Among the flagship handsets, it’s the only brand, then, to enter 2021 with 60Hz displays. Whether this will affect sales or not, well, only time has the answer.

No other information is reported till now, but it is expected that Apple is going to launch a handset from its flagship series next month.

Apple’s greenlit to Stadia and Xbox comes with a big catch

0

Apple has been criticized time and time again for its various policies. Called by many as draconian policies, apple’s app store policies have always taken a closed source license to the max.

Recently app and epic games have even entered into a squabble which led Epic games to file a lawsuit on apple. Apple had blocked the streaming services like Google stadia and Xbox Game Streaming services, from even entering its app store.

But now Apple has finally updated its policies to allow game streaming services to made available on the App store. only if they accept to go through all the hassles led forth by Apple.

App Store has released guidelines specifically addressing streaming games. Apple will technically allow services like Xbox game streaming and google stadia on the app store. The games themselves would have to be listed as an individual app on the app store.

what’s the catch?

Apple said, “Each streaming game must be submitted to the App Store as an individual app so that it has an App Store product page, appears in charts and search, has user ratings and review, can be managed with Screen-Time and other parental control apps, appears on the user’s device, etc.”

This means that the gaming services can’t just release their app and provide access to over 100+ games. They have to make those games have their own individual listing on the App store.

Google’s stadia and Microsoft’s Xbox game streaming service, are both cloud-based apps. The games that are played through this service, are not going to run locally on an iPhone.

According to CNBC, all games listed on the App Store need to have “some basic functionality when they’re downloaded,” so the streaming services can’t just provide the listing link to the streaming games.

Users also have to be able to purchase all the games using Apple’s payment system.

This means that every in-app game purchase will have to be included using Apple’s payment system and the company will take 30% cut of the share.

To make things worse, Apple doesn’t allow third-party web engines. And, Safari doesn’t support many modern APIs that would be required to create a web-based version of Stadia or Xbox Game Streaming.

Though apple has given a green lit to the game streaming services, the idea still doesn’t seem doable any time soon.

Mason Greenwood gets involved in yet another controversy

0

Manchester United’s wonderkid Mason Greenwood is again in the headlines for the wrong reasons. Last week he was expelled from the England squad along with Manchester City teenager Phil Foden. It was found that both the players called some girls in their hotel room violating the Covid-19 precaution norms.

Now there is one more acquisition against Greenwood. In a video, he was spotted inhaling Nitrous Oxide at a party weeks before he was expelled from the squad. It also shows Mason was filling a balloon with nitrous oxide from a canister before appearing to inhale the substance.

Nitrous Oxide is also known as ‘Laughing Gas’. Inhaling this can cause serious health risks including heart attacks and brain damage. Consuming it for a long time can lead to memory loss and vitamin deficiency.

As a professional player for top tier tournaments, it is one of the most important things to stay healthy and maintaining a disciplined life or else it can badly affect a player’s professional career.

Greenwood is in the early stage of his career. He needs proper guidance in this matter. Manchester United can provide this guidance to him. In an interview through Manchester United, the youngster said, -“I have now been made aware of the health risks associated with this practice — and accept that even trying it, as shown in these historical pictures, was poor judgment on my part.”

“I strongly urge others not to follow my example.”

“As an 18-year old, I am learning all the time. However, this week I’ve also learned that I will be judged to a higher standard because of my career, and I must respect that in the future.”

“I am determined to repay the faith shown in me by my manager and coaches.”

United is going to start their season next weekend. Fans are excited to see their wonderkid again this season. After coming in the news for the wrong reasons in the last two weeks, all are hoping that he will come back again to what he does best on the pitch and surely shut the mouth of his haters again.

IPL 2020: The best all-rounders of each IPL team

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 is less than a week away. After the tournament was postponed, after many hindrances and altercations, the IPL will begin on September 19 in UAE.

 T20, especially IPL, has always been a type of cricket that is constantly evolving. Be it with the invention of various shots like reverse-sweep or the utilization of slower deliveries with the ball. Therefore, someone who can tick both those boxes can be an important component for every team.

Today we will name some of the best all-rounders in each team of the IPL. The fact that the tournament is in UAE, will bring an interesting element to every aspect of the game. Therefore, they will be judged on the basis of their all-rounded skillset and their suitability on UAE conditions.

Mumbai Indians

HARDIK PANDYA – Hardik Pandya’s fearless batting and useful bowling has sky-rocketed his way in the Indian National Team. Pandya has been instrumental in MI’ success. He will have to work more on consistency though.

(pc- cricketcountry.com)

KRUNAL PANDYA – Unlike his brother, Krunal Pandya has been like an unsung hero of the mighty MI team. He will be more effective in UAE conditions due to his speedy variations.

Chennai Super Kings

DWAYNE BRAVO – Dwayne Bravo is considered as one of the best all-rounders in T20 cricket. He is fresh off a CPL tournament win where he picked up his 500th T20 wicket. He takes charge of the death overs while bowling and can also score in them while batting.

(PC- insidesport.co)

RAVINDRA JADEJA – Jadeja will be useful under UAE conditions due to his ability to bowl speedy deliveries. He will be an important factor in the absence of Harbhajan Singh.

Kolkata Knight Riders

ANDRE RUSSELL – Russell is one of the best and most feared cricketers in the world. He can bowl during both powerplay and death overs. However, while batting he knows one thing, to ATTACK. KKR management is also thinking of promoting him at number 3, which can be even more disastrous for the opponent team.

(PC- Sportskeeda)

SUNIL NARINE – It is safe to say that Sunil Narine is a proper IPL all-rounder. KKR has famously used Narine as a pinch-hitter in the opening slot. He has consistently provided the side with brisk starts and even half-centuries.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

VIJAY SHANKAR – The Indian international will have the responsibility to carry the Sunrisers Hyderabad. 2019 was a good year for Shankar, however, he will have to prove more in the T20 format.

(PC- India TV News)

Sunrisers have two experienced and top all-rounders in the world namely Mitchell Marsh and Mohammad Nabi. However, unfortunately, due to restrictions of playing only four foreign players, they may not make it into the regular playing 11 at least at first.

Rajasthan Royals

BEN STOKES – Stokes is currently one of the best all-rounders in the world in all three formats. He will be considered as the one to watch out for this IPL.

(PC- Times of India)

SHREYAS GOPAL – Gopal started only as a leg-spinner. However, over the years he has shown improved batting and can score handy runs down the orders.

Delhi Capitals

MARCUS STOINIS – Stoinis has improved a lot and has been a staple part of the mighty Australian team. He will provide firepower to the Capitals’ side.

KEEMO PAUL – Despite at the tender age of 22, Paul is an IPL tested all-rounder and can prove handy with his slower deliveries.

Kings XI Punjab

GLENN MAXWELL – Maxwell has proven to be more than just an attacking batsman as he made his way up to first place in the list of top T20 all-rounders.

JAMES NEESHAM – Neesham has been a staple all-rounder in the New Zealand T20 team. He can be extremely dangerous with the bat and can chip in with some good overs.

Royal Challengers Bangalore

CHRIS MORRIS – Morris will bring in a lot of T20 specific experience in the side which they always lacked. He will be extremely important as RCB has invested a heavy chunk of money on him as well.

(PC-CricTracker)

MOEEN ALI – Ali has shown great potential last year by literally carrying the RCB middle-order. There will be expectations from him this time around as well.

SHIVAM DUBE – Dube can prove to be a lethal batsman. He showed great potential in the NZ series earlier this year. He is definitely someone on whom RCB can invest.

The World Cup winner said in January: “What Liverpool do in this moment is amazing,”

“They’re like a machine, they’ve found a rhythm and are like ‘we play again, we play again’. When you watch you think everything’s easy, but that’s not easy. The guys are focused, they play games every three days and they win, they win, they win.”

“Performances like they have been having don’t just happen. To be as ruthless as they have been would come from lots of hard work in training and from having a very good manager.”

Tottenham announce signing of two-time World Cup winner Alex Morgan

0

While the Premier League season kicked off yesterday, the FA Women’s Super League kicked off last Sunday. The Tottenham Hotspur women’s team has successfully negotiated the signing of the 31-year-old striker Alex Morgan on a loan deal. She is set to play with Spurs for the entirety of the 2020-21 season.

Morgan previously played for Orlando Pride of the NWSL. She now becomes the fifth American player to make the move abroad.

Lauded as one of the best female strikers in the world, Morgan has been a superstar for the USWNT. She guided the women’s team to two successive World Cup victories and has scored 107 goals in 169 appearances for her national team.

She was awarded the US Soccer’s Female Player of the Year award in 2018 and also managed to take home the silver boot along with the 2019 World Cup. Her goal tally was equal to that of her teammate Megan Rapinoe, and she only lost out on the fewest minutes rule.

While the USWNT star has not played since May due to the birth of her son, Charlie, few can doubt her talent and her skills.

Along with the World Cup, Morgan has also led the national team to multiple Olympic medals and looks to gain her match fitness back before the time comes once again next year.

While local rivals Chelsea and Arsenal have dominated the Women’s Super League for the last few years, Morgan’s arrival can provide competition to the Blues and the Gunners if she manages to hit the ground running.

Morgan is also recognized as an author, a graduate in political economy and the face of women’s football in the States. She is easily the most beloved player of all, becoming a symbol for combating sexism in the sport.

Fans have reacted very positively to the Lilywhites’ newest signing as they welcomed the player to the London based club over on Twitter.
