The online presentation revealed several updates and announcements from the publisher, including insight on upcoming titles like SteelRising and The Lord of the Rings: Gollum.

Coleman has made three changes to the side that started against the Slovaks, with Wayne Hennessey starting in goal instead of Danny Ward and Joe Ledley replacing David Edwards, while Robson-Kanu takes the place of Jonathan Williams. Currently without a club, Robson-Kanu came off the bench to net the winner in the 2-1 victory over Slovakia, while England drew their first game 1-1 after conceding a late goal to Russia....

Where they’re heading The Rockets have finally gotten themselves into position to contend, taking a good young roster and finally adding the signature piece, center Dwight Howard, signed as a free agent from the Lakers this summer. That gives Houston an interesting lineup, with big man Omer Asik playing center and Howard bumped to power forward, where the Rockets hope he might be more effective offensively. It also gives the Rockets an incredibly imposing defensive pair inside, with Asik long rating as one of the league’s better defensive centers while Howard has been the Defensive Player of the Year three times....

They made it clear Friday night as they walloped the Lakers 112-97 to open their Western Conference second-round playoff series. “I don’t know why people keep saying we’re small. I don’t care if you’re 7 feet; if you don’t have heart, it doesn’t matter. If you don’t have dog in you, it doesn’t matter,” 6-5 guard James Harden (game-high 36 points) said after Houston matched LA’s rebounding total (41 apiece), forced 17 turnovers (27 points off them) and scored more points in the paint (42-40)....

But before Rockstar begins to worry about the future, they’ll have to see how Grand Theft Auto 5 is received by fans - considering the amount of experimentation that’s gone into its development. But according to the studio’s co-founder, that willingness to tread new ground, not follow the beaten path is something the studio has made a trademark; and one they plan on sticking to in the future. With Grand Theft Auto’s knack for offering disguised satire on pop culture, it’s hard to name another series that so clearly reflects the world it was created within (with GTA5’s LifeInvader spoof of Facebook as one example)....

Not only will Rise of the Tomb Raider’s 20 Year Celebration edition on PS4 have an additional story chapter, but also the Blood Ties portion will have PlayStation VR support. Plus, the Crystal Dynamics-developed action-adventure title is set to contain new co-op Endurance gameplay, extra outfits, weapons, Expedition Cards, a limited edition art book, as well as all of the game’s previously released DLC. Those Rise of the Tomb Raider fans on PC and Xbox One who own the title’s Season Pass will be privy to all of the aforementioned content, except for the VR support....

The average cost of lithium-ion battery cells increased to an estimated $160 per kilowatt-hour in the first quarter of this year from $105 last year. But experts are optimistic that electric cars won’t lose their appeal. “Battery costs have been steadily declining for ten years, and this recent spike in commodity prices is driven by transitory macro events that extend well beyond electric vehicles,” Trent Mell, the CEO of Electra Battery Materials Corporation, told Lifewire in an email interview....

“A prosecutor is supposed to seek the truth. It’s not about winning. This case became about winning, which is probably why it got so personal,” Richards said about lead prosecutor Thomas Binger. Outside the courthouse, Richards blasted the state for the drone video that was the subject of one of the defense’s motions for a mistrial and called parts of Binger’s closing arguments “garbage.” Richards also called Kenosha County Judge Bruce Schroeder a fair judge, despite the controversial rulings Schroeder made in favor of the defense, including the dismissal of the gun possession charge Rittenhouse faced....

Former WWE Champion Rob Van Dam was inducted into the 2021 WWE Hall of Fame in Tampa, Florida. But had someone not informed Mr. McMahon that he wasn’t in, it would have never happened. RVD was a guest this morning on Busted Open Radio with Bully Ray and Tommy Dreamer to discuss a wide variety of subjects. While discussing his Hall of Fame induction, Van Dam revealed a story that Michael Hayes told him that Vince McMahon already believed he was in....

Back in 2010, Sam Presti and Oklahoma City had an unusual situation because the Thunder possessed both cap space and a slew of talented rising stars still getting paid on bargain basement rookie scale deals. They knew eventually those players would get paid (one in Houston, but that story is for a different day), so the best way to spend that temporarily available space was in a way that had short-term costs and long-term benefits....

Crimo, who is white, was arrested without incident yesterday following an attack on a Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois. The shooting resulted in at least six dead and more than two dozen people injured. On June 27, in Akron, Ohio, Jayland Walker, a Black man, was shot over 60 times following an attempted traffic stop. Police found a gun in his vehicle but at the time of the shooting he was unarmed and had exited his vehicle, after a brief chase, to flee on foot....

On June 16, police responded to an active shooting situation at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Vestavia Hills, a posh Birmingham neighborhood, and arrested Robert Findlay Smith. He was charged with killing 84-year-old Jane Pounds of Hoover, 75-year-old Sarah Yeager of Pelham and 84-year-old Walter “Bart” Rainey of Irondale. On August 9, Smith was due in court for a preliminary hearing during which the prosecution’s case would be laid out....

Shanahan said the decision was made for RG3’s health—shutting him down now to allow more time for a full recovery from the knee surgery that slowed him this entire season. He also said he now regrets letting Griffin play in the playoff game last January against Seattle. It was in that game that Griffin’s already fragile knee blew up. “I could have kicked myself in the rear end,” Shanahan said....

Think of Bayern Munich and Robert Lewandowski’s name will automatically come to mind. It certainly would not be an overstatement to say that this star striker from Poland has been one of Bayern Munich’s most consistent performers in recent times. During the 2018-19 season of the Bundesliga, Lewandowski could be seen eating goals for breakfast. He finished as the season’s leading goalscorer (22 goals). Lewandowski was bought by the Bavarian giants in 2014 to bolster the club’s attacking lines....

Hummels was ‘close’ to joining Man Utd The Gunners upset Liverpool officials in 2013 by bidding £40m + £1 for Luis Suarez in the belief it would trigger a buy-out clause in the striker’s contract, with Reds owner John W. Henry tweeting in response: “What do you think they’re smoking over there at the Emirates?” And Liverpool appear to have taken retributive action by specifying in Firmino’s deal that he can be bought for €98m (£82m) “if the interested club is not Arsenal”....

Speaking to the media on Zoom during the team’s morning skate availability, Lehner said Vegas players were told in March that if a certain number were vaccinated, then the NHL’s COVID-19 restrictions would be eased. He also revealed that in calls Tuesday with the NHL and NHL Players’ Association, the league said restrictions would not be changed until all teams are vaccinated “so it’s not a competitive edge.” “They’re talking about competitive edge instead of human lives,” he said, using his hands to stress the two sides....

The Brazilian joins from fellow Turkish club Sivasspor, having made a strong impression so far in his time in the country. Robinho has scored eight goals for Sivasspor in the Super Lig this season, with only two players more prolific in the division in 2018-19. And the former AC Milan and Real Madrid forward will now join ex-Manchester City team-mate Emmanuel Adebayor at Basaksehir, who are six points clear in top spot....
