BORDEAUX, France (Reuters) - Wales must find a way of avoiding over dependence on Gareth Bale if they are to make progress at their first major international tournament for 58 years, starting with Saturday’s opening Group B match against Slovakia. Not since John Charles, a world-class performer at centre-half and centre-forward in Serie A six decades ago, have they relied so much on one player. When ‘Gentle Giant’ Charles missed the 1958 World Cup quarter-final against Brazil, Wales still performed creditably but lost 1-0 to the eventual champions....

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Midthunder talked about the possibility of the popularity of Prey resulting in a sequel on Hulu or on the big screen. It appears that so far, she hasn’t gotten word one way or the other, but she is more than willing to trust whatever the decision on that front is. RELATED: Prey Deserved To Be Seen On The Big Screen Adding onto the fact that the Prey star hasn’t heard one way or the other as to whether there might be another film set in that era, she voiced her support for the people who will ultimately make that decision....

The Duke of York accepts he “can’t just go back to the way things were” before the scandal surrounding his friendship with the convicted pedophile, the source said. However, they added, that the prince has been “thinking very hard about how best he can serve his country” almost a year after he stepped back from public life in disgrace.

Virginia Giuffre has filed a civil claim for sexual abuse and battery against Queen Elizabeth II’s son in New York, which had its first hearing today. The Duke of York’s attorney engaged in the court process after more than a month of silence since the case was first filed in early August. Since it is a civil lawsuit, not a criminal trial, Prince Andrew cannot go to prison and would not receive a criminal conviction if he loses....

Emily Maitlis revealed courtiers “were happy” with the Duke of York’s performance until Britain reacted to his comments on the BBC in November.

Astrologer Penny Thornton spoke to the princess regularly from 1981 and made the claim to ITV documentary The Diana Interview: Revenge Of A Princess. In the show, aired last night in Britain, she said: “One of the most shocking things that Diana told me was that the night before the wedding Charles told her that he didn’t love her....

Pictures of the moment show Harry walking a straight path that has been successfully de-mined. However, red hazard signs can be seen on either side of him, indicating danger. The scene echoes the infamous pictures of Princess Diana walking through a minefield in Huambo, Angola, in January 1997, to raise awareness of the tragic consequences of landmines on innocent people....

The study, published Wednesday, looked at COVID cases and hospitalizations in California and New York from May to November 2021. The data was collected before boosters became widely available and Omicron surged through the county, according to the study.

He caught 433 passes for 4,573 yards and 30 touchdowns....

While the defence has looked solid throughout, they often have found themselves wanting in raiding. And as we have noticed over 2 seasons of PKL, without a formidable line up of raiders, it’s difficult for teams to establish themselves as a force to reckon with. With the experienced Surjeet Narwal still missing, it seems unlikely that their woes have any immediate remedy. To be fair to their other 2 raiders – Rohit and Kashiling, they have been decent but much like the team, their form has swayed too....

The captain, their third this season, Meraj Sheyk took to the press this evening at the stadium. He was accompanied by S Srinivas the team owner, the coaches and raider Sukesh Hegde at the stadium this evening. With five wins out of seven, the Titans are right behind the dominant U Mumba team, which has been the runaway leader this season. The team from Mumbai is yet to taste defeat in 2015....

Speaking of the game between Patna and Mumbai first, U Mumba dominated the first half and ended it with a 13-points lead. Athul MS and Rohit Baliyan joined forces to trouble the Patna defence, while Sandeep Narwal too contributed his bit to the raiding department. Mohammad Esmaeil Maghsoudlou inspired a great Patna Pirates comeback. However, a last minute error from the defence of the Pardeep Narwal-led outfit cost them the game....

Pardeep Narwal was the hero of the night with 17 points in his kitty. Hadi Oshtorak also played in aggressive fashion and contributed massively for the green army. Siddharth Desai and Rajnish from the Titans put up champion-like performances and garnered 12 and 10 points respectively. Siddharth Desai started for the Titans and was instantly sent off the mat by Patna’s defense. The Titans’ defense gave a fitting reply to Patna after catching Pardeep Narwal in his very first raid....

“My name has become a brand,” Rao told Sportkseeda. “Because I opened the first kabaddi academy in India in Gujarat and stayed there for 22 years. I played kabaddi professionally for seven years at the state level but honestly speaking, I wasn’t a very good player.” But Rao always had a keen eye for detail and talent. He realised that he could make immense contributions to the sport, despite retiring as a player abruptly....

PKL was second only to the Indian Premier League in terms of viewership during its first season. The viewership ratings went on increasing season by season, giving huge popularity to the sport of kabaddi. The kabaddi players had never been as popular as they are currently. Star Sports and Mashal Sports expanded the league to a 12-team tournament after the success it received in the first 4 seasons. That move paid off as an increase in the number of teams and matches led to increased number of viewers....

Celtic lead second-placed Rangers by a whopping 16 points atop the Scottish Premiership, having played a game fewer. Rodgers’ side ran out convincing 5-1 winners at Parkhead in September, and have dropped just two points from their 19 league outings this season. Although favourites to triumph over their old foes on Saturday, Celtic will be free of the weight of expectation, according to Rodgers, who believes that Rangers will be under severe pressure to deliver in front of their home fans....

Opportunities for the Vikings to disrupt Goff’s rhythm with a well-timed sack or a hurried incompletion were scant, as the high-octane Rams never let up in that 38-31 victory last week over the suddenly sputtering Vikings. “They don’t give you too many drop-back passes where you can rush the quarterback,” coach Mike Zimmer said after that humbling performance when Goff went 26 for 33 for 465 yards and five touchdowns....

Not Following Instructions: Condoms are a good example of how this can lead to birth control failure. It’s important to make sure a condom fits correctly, for example, and to be careful when removing it. Whatever type of birth control you use, make certain you know how to use it. Forgetting or Choosing Not to Use It: Let’s say you’re on birth control pills. It goes without saying, if you keep forgetting to take them or feel that it will be OK “just this once” to skip a pill, you’re setting yourself up for unintended pregnancy....
