PARIS (Reuters) - Ireland and Sweden meet in the Euro 2016 Group E opener at the Stade de France on Monday where a win would go a long way to redeeming their past failures in the championship and getting them to the knockout stage. Drawn in a tough section with Belgium and Italy, a victory is of paramount importance to both sides’ fortunes. “The team that wins this game has a very good chance of progressing,” Sweden coach Erik Hamren told Reuters recently....

With the World cup just a few days away, it will be interesting to see whether the two North American giants USA and Mexico put up a fight, surprise everyone and finally show what their always exciting and promising squads consisting of many young and talented players is capable of. We haven’t had any such team come up and fight against the best of the best in the recent past....

Of course, on the one hand, we have Arsenal, victims of one of the most intimidating offensive displays in recent memory. A goal conceded before the first minute was out. Another eight minutes later. Two chances wasted. By the 19th minute, the scoreline was 0-4, and the away-fans could be forgiven for checking their watches and wondering about the trip home. However, a trip to Anfield, where Liverpool are almost as dominant as Man City are at the Etihad, was always fraught with peril....

The queen celebrates 70 years on the throne in 2022 when hundreds of thousands of medals will be given out, including to emergency services personnel and members of the armed forces. The royal family will also get medals and, if the precedent set on previous jubilees is followed, Prince Andrew will be among them. A palace source told Newsweek the final list has not yet been agreed, but acknowledged Andrew could be on it despite having stepped back from public life....

The Duke of York will testify at a neutral location in London about allegations he raped 17-year-old Jeffrey Epstein trafficking victim Virginia Giuffre, The Daily Telegraph reported. He has denied the allegations. It is expected that the questioning by attorneys David Boies and Sigrid McCawley will take place over two days, creating ample opportunity for the pair to grill Andrew on the claims he made in his November 2019 interview with the BBC’s Emily Maitlis....

Harry has undertaken a series of press interviews in recent days as he marks the 2022 Invictus Games events in the Netherlands. The prince has come under heavy criticism following an interview given to NBC’s Today show in which he claimed he needed to make sure his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, was “protected” and “has the right people around her,” as well as failing to categorically state whether he missed his father, Prince Charles, and brother, Prince William....

Ignacio “Nacho” Figueras, an Argentinian polo prodigy who has played alongside the royals for more than a decade, stormed to victory with Harry on Thursday as they played in the 2022 Sentebale ISPS Handa Polo Cup in Aspen, Colorado. Speaking to People after the match, Figueras referenced his long friendship with Harry, commenting that the royal and Meghan Markle “love each other very much.” “[My wife] Delfi and I have known Harry for a very long time,” the polo player said....

Pre-ordering Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake will come with a “Back to the Origins Set,” according to Ubisoft’s webpage for the game. This set comes with a skin for the Prince and five weapons that harken back to the lower-resolution days of consoles like the PlayStation 2, as well as a filter that sets the entire world back to its original look. There will also be an option built into the base game that allows players to swap between original and modernized control schemes, which can capture the classic experience further....

The Prince of Persia remake listings list the unannounced game for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, with no mention of PC or Xbox One versions. It also has a tentative release window of November 2020. Otherwise, there’s not a lot of information that fans can get from the listings. However, it seems unlikely that a Prince of Persia remake would skip PC and Xbox, and it’s also unlikely that it would release in the same month as Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, so fans should take this information with a grain of salt....

The Princess Royal paid tribute to her father after he passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle. The 70-year-old described how her father struggled with being consort—or partner of the monarch—after a glittering career in the Royal Navy. But she described the profound impact his life of service by Queen Elizabeth II’s side had on Britain, telling ITV: “Without him life will be completely different.” The Duke of Edinburgh was born Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark on June 10, 1921, but aged 18 months his family had to flee due to political instability....

The Duke of Cambridge took his seven-year-old son to watch him shoot grouse at Corgarff, near Balmoral, where they were on holiday visiting Queen Elizabeth II, according to the Daily Mail. There is no suggestion the young royal took part in the shooting. The move sparked an angry response from animal welfare charity PETA and the anti-hunt lobby has now joined the criticism. Chris Luffingham, campaigns director for the League Against Cruel Sports, told Newsweek: “Taking Prince George along to a grouse shoot isn’t a good look for a royal family that is trying to promote itself as progressive and compassionate....

Published by British newspaper The Guardian on Thursday, the extract saw Harry accuse William’s views on Meghan of being a “parrot[ing of] the press narrative” about her—which at the time was increasingly negative. Since the Sussexes split from the monarchy in 2020 and moved to the U.S., William has been mostly silent on the strained relationship with his brother, only once publicly refuting the allegation of racism against the royal family made by Harry and Meghan in their 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey....

U.P Yoddha, led by star defender Nitesh Kumar were given a hiding by the Bengal Warriors as they lost 17-48 to the Maninder Singh-led side. Their defense unit was in shambles and even established raiders like Monu Goyat and Shrikanth Jadhav couldn’t shine in the absence of star raider Rishank Devadiga. The Fortune Giants, meanwhile, easily beat the Bengaluru Bulls 42-24 with a consolidated defensive effort shown by the young side....

Cricket, India’s biggest sport may be referred to as the “Gentleman’s” game but the same probably cannot be said about India’s homegrown sport, Kabaddi which involves a whole lot of body contact. However, ti certainly embodies the spirit of the nation. Within the sport, though, there are certain individuals that are indirectly giving it a whole new identity as well. With their tall, strongly built frames which exude determination, dedication and a no-nonsense attitude, these five players make the for perfect police officers....
