Palace have taken just four points from Allardyce’s first eight Premier League games at the helm, with a 1-0 defeat at Stoke City following last weekend’s calamitous 4-0 loss at home to Sunderland. Despite a markedly improved display at the bet365 Stadium, the Eagles left empty handed after Joe Allen’s strike sent Stoke into the top half.

During the halt of work, Israel has levelled a six-story building used by the Islamic University and a strike launched from Gaza has killed two people and injured seven others. The strike, which closed schools and businesses in the region, was a rare Palestinian presentation of a unified front against the conflict and Israeli policies, the Associated Press said. It was expected Tuesday that protests would accompany the ongoing strike, which could heighten tensions as previous protesters have clashed with Israeli forces....

Gomez said his side can’t make mistakes in Tuesday’s World Cup qualification match because while his side has never qualified for a World Cup, it’s a given for a team with Mexico’s talent level. “Mexico might play well, poorly or regular and it’s going to go to the World Cup. It’s problem is in the World Cup,” Gomez said. “Mexico might play well, poorly or regular, it wins. It’s won everything, except against Chile....

At this point the Canadians will clearly be aiming to finish at the top of the CONCACAF standings. It would take a lot for the USA or Mexico to overtake them: a Canada loss, plus a lopsided enough win by either the USA or Mexico to somehow swing the goal differential in their favor (+17 for Canada compared to +7 for USA and +3 for Mexico). John Herdman’s side has led pretty much from start to finish, proving the class of CONCACAF throughout qualifying, even as the nation was forced to press on without star Alphonso Davies for much of qualifying....

Women struggled to get professional support as the coronavirus crisis gripped the world, say scientists in a study that was presented at an American Academy of Pediatrics meeting in Anaheim, California. Lead author Dr. Amy Yeh, a pediatrician at the University of Southern California (USC), explained: “There is a false belief that breastfeeding is a natural instinct that is supposed to happen out of thin air.” “Breastfeeding is a technique that both the mother and baby need to learn....

Former Australia chinaman bowler Brad Hogg weighed in on the debate as well, feeling Rishabh Pant should be picked over Bengal keeper Saha despite the latter being the better wicket-keeper. “Also, he’s got very nimble feet, where he’s quick at down leg side and to take those stumpings. He’s got the good reach, and quick hands to come back and take the stumpings. And when he’s up to the stumps, those quick catches off the edge, he generally takes most of them,” the former Australia wrist spinner added about Wriddhiman Saha’s abilities with the gloves....

“With free agency and what we’ve done, we feel like we’ve got some depth at all the positions, but the draft is about — especially in the first couple rounds — hopefully trying to target future impact players,” said general manager Marty Hurney at the Panthers pre-draft press conference Tuesday. “Guys who can come in and make an impact for four or five-plus years.” SIGN UP to stream the NFL Draft LIVE on DAZN in Canada...

The reason BB&T Center doesn't look 86 percent full is because it's not 86 percent full. In a story detailing the Panthers' attendance issues, the Miami Herald noted that the team has put tarps over upper-level seats to reduce the arena's official capacity. They're operating at 76 percent capacity based on the actual, non-tarp figure of 19,250.

A couple of months after the leak of Paper Mario and 2D Metroid, other Nintendo games planned for 2020 also leaked online....

In a post shared on Reddit earlier in January, under the username u/Throwra324546, the man said he married his wife months ago and since they didn’t get to go on a honeymoon right away they planned a trip.

The lawsuit came from parents of a Black student at Pleasant Valley High School who are now suing for emotional damages after their child became aware of the video. The video, which was obtained by KWQC-TV, showed one student wearing blackface and the other pretending to beat him with an object resembling a golf club while yelling out racist slurs.

The third Test between India and England will be played at Mohali, a surface that has a reputation of being one that aids fast bowlers. Kumble, however, clarified that the current pitch isn’t the same as it used to be, especially from those two decades back. “The Mohali track has gone a lot slower, compared to what it was in the 90s,” Kumble added.The pitch might not be as conducive to the pacers as it used to be, but Kumble has full faith in the current Indian bowling line-up, who, he believes, have performed well in their home territory....
