‘Neymardependencia’ had become a buzz word under former coach Dunga, with his side facing intense criticism that Neymar was their sole match-winner. READ MORE: EXCLUSIVE: BGT meets Willian | Neymar moved to tears | EXCLUSIVE: BGT meets Renato Augusto The former Barcelona man cut an increasingly frustrated figure throughout his two-year reign and saw more cards than any other Brazil player during that period. “[I’ve got the best from Neymar] by not making him fully responsible for the situation and by not putting him at loggerheads with responsibility either,” Tite told Fifa....

Leyland announced his departure two days after the Tigers were eliminated from the AL championship series by Boston in six games.

The fuel's getting a little low." Leyland has been working under one-year contracts the last couple years, saying he was content to wait until after the season to address his status....

When the ball begins rolling Thursday in the first leg of the final, Tigres coach Tuca Ferretti will be celebrating his seventh year, 200th day of his third stint in charge at Tigres. In the other technical area, Antonio Mohamed is nearing his third year as manager of Rayados - a mark that hardly challenge’s Tuca’s for the league lead but puts him third. That a manager who has been with a club for just three years is the third-longest standing is a clear indication of just how cutthroat the job can be for managers in Mexico....

Some people have gotten the message loud and clear. The U.S. armed forces prohibited the app on military devices two years ago. More recently, on Dec. 5, South Dakota banned TikTok from state-owned devices. Texas and Maryland followed suit shortly thereafter, and other states are taking similar steps. As these statewide bans snowball, the federal government should immediately ban the app outright in the United States. The youth of America are at risk....

TikTok user Elle, known on TikTok @.lifeisahighway420, documented her findings in a viral video that has amassed nearly eight million views. While in the bathroom, Elle recorded what she allegedly found in her date’s cabinet underneath the sink and in some drawers. As she finds the different products, J. Cole’s song “She Knows” plays in the background. “Uhmmm what should I do?” the video caption read. In the comments section, Elle explained she was looking for toilet paper when she first stumbled across the products and was surprised to find them....

A nosebleed (epistaxis) is a fairly common problem that is often treated at home. Nosebleeds occur when small, fragile blood vessels in the nose rupture. This can be due to injury, allergies, air quality, altitude, or an underlying medical condition. This article explains why you shouldn’t tilt your head back with a nosebleed. It also provides step-by-step first aid instructions for treating a bloody nose at home and details for when a nosebleed requires medical attention....

Before he can do that, the 31-year-old right-hander nicknamed “The Freak” must prove to scouts he can still pitch effectively in the wake of a left hip injury that ended his season last June and resulted in surgery.

Tim Southee and Kyle Jamieson’s performances will be critical for the Kiwis on the last day. They will have to continue their good form to try and dismiss India as early as possible. If they succeed in that job, New Zealand’s chances of winning the World Test Championship will enhance significantly. India, on the other hand, has minimal chances of winning the game on Day 6. To do that, they need to score runs quickly and declare, hoping to get ten Kiwi wickets in the remaining overs....

“I would say, was it a big reason? No,” Tebow said. “Was it a factor? Absolutely. Especially for all the opportunities that I had to play different positions – which I was honored to have – and I didn’t choose those primarily because of injuries or concussions. “I chose that because I love playing the quarterback position. And obviously, you could see that when I played, I wasn’t necessarily the most worried about injuries the way I played, always going head-first....

But it wasn’t perfect. The team didn’t get much better defensively, finishing the season with a defensive rating of 108.4 points per 100 possessions, 22nd in the league and second-worst among playoff teams. That’s a slight improvement over 2016-17 (26th in the league, 109.1), but not the kind of bounce that coach Tom Thibodeau — who made his name on defense — hoped to achieve. And it wasn’t the injury to Butler, which kept him out from late February to early April, that was to blame....

“I’ve been waiting for this date for a while; I’m glad it is finally happening,” says Thomson, a senior business development manager at a marketing and communications agency, who says she spends between 1,000 to 2,500 minutes per month on her cell phone and has become increasingly frustrated with what she says is sporadic service. “As soon as I know I can keep my number, I am so gone.”...

LONDON (Reuters) - Latvia’s Jelena Ostapenko is one of the best “finishers” in tennis and should be considered a favourite for the Wimbledon title, according to former world number one Mats Wilander. The 20-year-old was unseeded when she turned the women’s game upside down with her incredible run to the French Open title – thumping 54 winners and taking the last five games of a rivetting three-set final to stun Romanian Simona Halep....

In Eastern Europe, economic transition has been preceded by a transition from Communist-led to opposition governments. That is not an immediate possibility in the Soviet Union. With no organized opposition to speak of, the only force that can pull the country out of its current deadlock is Gorbachev. This wholly depends on his willingness to distance himself from the party, where he still holds the top post, and to allow opposition to become strong enough to participate in the government....

But, another useful feature introduced in Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is that of Lucky Dices, which means players would no longer have to pray to RNGesus to bless them with legendary loot. But, players will need to locate all of them if they want to reap the benefits. Fortunately, the final area of the campaign, The Fearamid, only has a couple of them.

However, some Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands plotlines feel a bit unfinished. In particular, the side quest regarding the demon Zygaxis stands out as something that is begging to be continued. The Amnesiac’s marbles collectibles also tell a deep, meaningful story, but players never get real closure after finding them all. A proper expansion could expand on both stories, and it could satisfy fans that are not pleased with the current DLC approach....

Given that the spin-off game is focused on Tina’s world and her many creations, it makes sense that she would have a memorable new outfit. With the game focusing on the younger version of Tiny Tina, the bunny mask worn by adult Tina in Borderlands 3 is nowhere to be seen. Further, instead of the bloody psycho mask from Borderlands 2, Tina dresses up for the occasion. When playing with Frette and Valentine, she wears a distinct outfit with a massive pink wizard hat....

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands was confirmed to be in development at Summer Game Fest. It is inspired by the popular Borderlands DLC called Assault on Dragon Keep, but will be a distinct game of its own set after the events of the DLC. However, the game will still focus on looting goods for players to analyze and equip as they explore the world. Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands will have have an all-star cast, with voice talent provided by well-known comedic actors like Andy Samberg, Ashly Burch, Will Arnett, and Wanda Sykes....

Nothing says summer better than a perfectly ripe strawberry, a plump briny oyster plucked from the sea or a tall glass of ale–enjoyed on a shaded patio on a lazy afternoon.

The problem is, it’s not likely to be much better across the street. It’s no secret that service is abysmal, a fact confirmed last week by a new University of Michigan survey of customer satisfaction that puts an exclamation point on an unfortunate Econ 101 lesson: as unemployment has fallen to its lowest level in 30 years, it’s tough to find good workers. And that’s why customer satisfaction at fast-food restaurants, retailers, gas stations and banks has fallen to its lowest level since the consumer survey began in 1994....

Zampella revealed as much while discussing Titanfall 2 during an interview with GameSpot, theorizing that one possibility for the first-person shooter’s inability to be labeled as a blockbuster right out of the gate was due to the release frame in the fall of 2016 having been overcrowded with a lot of other highly coveted Triple-A titles. For instance, Titanfall 2 went on sale around the time that other huge shooters like Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare were put out, with the Respawn co-founder admitting to it having been a “rough” launch window....
