Their nervy 1-0 win over Georgia on Friday kept them top of Group D ahead of the final round of fixtures and they never looked in danger of relinquishing that position with a dominant display. Cedric Itten – who scored the winner against Georgia – set them on their way after 10 minutes, with Ruben Vargas and Christian Fassnacht adding further goals after the interval. The hosts pulled one back through Reece Styche in the 74th minute – just their third goal of the qualifying campaign – but Switzerland reasserted their superiority through Loris Benito, a second goal from Itten and a late strike from Granit Xhaka....

The hosts will be looking to get back to winning ways following their 1-0 defeat away to Western United on Wednesday. Steven Lustica’s strike midway through the second half proved to be the difference between the two sides. Melbourne City edged out the Central Coast Mariners in a five-goal thriller on home turf. Marco Tilio’s 74th-minute strike helped them secure a 3-2 victory in front of their fans. The victory helped them hold on to second spot, where they currently trail Western United by one point....

The hosts are coming off a 2-0 victory at Newcastle Jets on New Year’s Day. First-half goals from Adam Le Fondre and Robert Mak inspired the visitors to victory. Wellington, meanwhile, suffered a 3-1 defeat at home against Melbourne City despite taking an early lead. David Ball put the hosts ahead in the 16th minute, but Mathew Leckie equalised just two minutes later. Jamie Maclaren scored a brace after the break to help the visitors leave the Sky Stadium with all three points....

Vidarbha, Tripura, Hyderabad, Delhi, Rajasthan, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are the seven teams that haven’t lost a single game in the ongoing edition of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. One of Vidarbha and Tripura might not make it to the next stage of the competition as only one team from the Plate group will make it to the preliminary quarter-final. Meanwhile, a victory each for Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan and Karnataka will see them qualify for the quarter-final stage....

However, this Super Smash Bros. Ultimate showcase gave fans a bit more information about some behind-the-scenes elements of the game’s development process. During the presentation, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai revealed he keeps figurines of unreleased fighters in the Fighter Passes hidden in a locked drawer somewhere in his studio offices.

Frieza is the galactic emperor of the anime series and one of the most famous villains from Dragon Ball Z. The character was so popular, that even after his death, he would be brought back with his own cinematic film, Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’. This movie also introduced a brand-new form for him, Golden Frieza, that turns his body gold and gives him a power boost. These points made him one of the perfect characters to mod into Super Smash Bros....

The bitter Buenos Aires rivals were locked at 2-2 ahead of last weekend’s scheduled meeting at El Monumental, only for the game to be abandoned twice as a result of an attack on the Boca team bus by River supporters. CONMEBOL settled on Madrid as the solution in its search for an alternative venue, with the match coming to the Spanish capital on December 9. That decision has been appealed by both clubs and Solari, who began his professional career with River before moving to Europe, told a news conference he hoped the match would act to salvage the reputation of a celebrated fixture....

Babe was very egotistical, but she could back it up. She once asked me to be her partner in the International Four Ball Tournament. She said, “Well, I have to have a partner, and you might as well win a tournament.” Babe was also really great at playing up to the press. Once, at an awards dinner in New York, she was asked, “Babe, what are you going to do next?...

The same judge, Michael Hanzman of Miami-Dade’s Circuit Court, gave the green light Wednesday to a sale of the Champlain Towers South site, with proceeds to go back to those affected by the collapse. Court records show that the property could go for between $100 million and $110 million, the AP reported. The collapse of the buildings has triggered reviews of other older buildings. This includes two now-evacuated high rises in Miami-Dade County and a three-story apartment building in the county that was evacuated following a partial roof collapse, according to officials....

The survey was conducted by PCMag, who surveyed 2,033 customers in the US to gather its data. The end result was that 31 percent of those surveyed preferred Xbox and the Xbox One, 28 percent preferred PlayStation and the PS4, 21 percent preferred Nintendo and the Switch, and 20 percent said they preferred PC gaming over consoles. Some of those surveyed chose not to identify as gamers at all, which could have had an impact on data....

I have written before about these programs and, unfortunately, will probably do so again. They are the dregs of government. In an ideal world, liberals and conservatives would junk them and then argue about how to use the savings (for tax cuts or better programs). But in the real word, liberals and conservatives create coalitions of convenience based on a common desire to dispense favors or preserve personal fiefdoms....

Tragically, it happens every day. For the better part of the last decade, the success of gay-run campaigns urging safe sex – using condoms to prevent the spread of HIV, the virus that leads to AIDS – was a point of pride for homosexuals. By 1985 the spread of AIDS appeared to be in check in the gay community. Even in heavily gay San Francisco, the epidemic’s rate of transmission fell to almost zero....

The man, whose name wasn’t released, was found hanged in a Zurich police jail on Wednesday morning as officers were handing out breakfast, prosecutors said in a statement. Initial investigations indicated that no one else was involved, they said.

Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) Chief of Police Robert Schroeder identified the alleged shooter as 26-year-old Larynzo Johnson during a Thursday news conference.

Suspicious stew is very similar to regular stew in Minecraft. Both stews are made with brown and speckled mushrooms, but what makes suspicious stew different is the properties it holds. What is Minecraft’s suspicious stew? Suspicious stew is a stew that has special properties. These properties are like potions and can give players special abilities, like fire resistance, weakness, and regeneration. In addition to these special properties, the stew also restores 6 hunger points (3 hunger bars) and 7....

Since returning to the South Wales outfit this summer, the Cote d’Ivoire international has failed to find the back of the net in his all of his seven English Premier League matches but was back on the scoresheet on Saturday. The striker volleyed home from a delightful Martin Olsson cross to give Paul Clement’s side an early lead against his former side. But goals from Xherdan Shaqiri and Mame Biram Diouf saw the Swans slump to their tenth league loss this term....

The publication this week of “The Reagan Diaries” should give both sides reason to see the late president as a more complicated and more interesting man than either caricature would suggest. The journals, which Reagan kept throughout his White House years, are more record than reflection: he has his generation’s tendency to avoid emotion; “a good time was had by all” is used here without irony. A performer, a public man—he was a lifeguard, a sportscaster, an actor and a politician—he seems to have always had an eye on his audience, and these journals are no exception....

The parents of Sasha Menu Courey say the university and its athletics department by now should have investigated her alleged off-campus rape by as many as three football players in February 2010. University leaders say they didn't learn about the purported attack until after Menu Courey, a Canadian, committed suicide 16 months later. They also said they followed the letter of the law because they didn't have specific knowledge of the attack and no victim to interview....

During GameStop’s quarterly financial conference call, CEO Paul Raines stated that the Nintendo Switch has been a “massive success” for the company since its launch, managing to generate a 14.8% year-on-year growth in hardware sales for the retailer. With attach rates at a “consistently high” 5-to-1 since launch, this momentum is expected to continue on for the second half of the year as GameStop expects a “healthy’ allocation of Switch consoles to be available to consumers....
