There will be two additional teams in France’s second tier in 2020-21, with Le Mans and Orleans remaining in Ligue 2 and Pau and Dunkerque moving up from the third division. Last month, the LFP declared Paris Saint-Germain champions of Ligue 1 after ending the 2019-20 campaign prematurely due to COVID-19. The final standings had been decided on a points-per-game basis after French prime minister Edouard Philippe said the season could not restart due to all sporting events being banned until September amid the coronavirus pandemic....

Like the majority of the sporting world, golf’s calendar has been decimated by the COVID-19 crisis. The Open has already been called off for 2020, while the Masters – which was scheduled for April – has been rearranged until November.

More than 87,000 people in 59 countries have become infected with the virus, and nearly 3,000 people have died, including two deaths in America. Health officials expect to see additional cases in the United States, and to try to curb the virus from spreading, President Donald Trump expanded travel restrictions.

Health officials were able to trace the origin of all but one of the cases in the United States back to China or the quarantined Diamond Princess cruise ship. One person, a patient in California, tested positive for the virus despite no known contact with someone who was infected or relevant travel history–raising the possibility that the virus could be spreading in communities. “We knew this was inevitable as it relates to the nature of these viruses that that incident would occur,” California Governor Gavin Newsom said during a press conference on Wednesday....

Join Zac Landry and Aaron Leach every week for the same Game Rant-flavored awesome-sauce that you’ve grown accustomed to… only now with pictures! It really doesn’t make sense, does it? Mario is worse than Hurley from Lost. It has to be a glandular thing, right? He runs and jumps everywhere and sticks to a fairly strict vegetarian diet. And have you ever seen a more active athlete? Between tennis, baseball and soccer, it’s unbelievable that there’s any fat at all on the portly plumber....

Join Zac Landry and Aaron Leach every week for the same Game Rant-flavored awesome-sauce that you’ve grown accustomed to… only now with pictures! It’s pretty safe to say that the majority of games out there aren’t going to be up for any “originality in writing” awards any time soon, but hey, that’s why the word “homage” exists right? You call it ripping an idea off; games call it “paying tribute....

Because of new rules set in place by the Democratic National Committee (DNC), it may be even more difficult for Booker and other candidates to make it to the next Democratic debate. Booker has already received financial donations from at least 225,000 separate individuals but is only ranked at 2 percent in a recent poll from The New York Times. That places Booker in eighth place, setting him below entrepreneur Andrew Yang and Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar....

Blues 11/8 to be top London club Costa was Chelsea’s top scorer with 20 goals as they secured a second league title in three years last season but Conte has since informed the Spain international he does not feature in his first-team plans.

The 26-year-old has now said that he felt he could no longer develop at the Allianz Arena, but feels he has nothing to prove to his old club....

Cote d’Ivoire began the continental tournament against Equatorial Guinea, beating the Central African nation 1-0 via a first-half strike from Max Gradel. They however squandered the chance to pick up back-to-back wins as they played out a 2-2 draw against Sierra Leone in their second game. The Indomitable Lions sit at the top of the table with four points but need at least a point on Thursday to guarantee automatic qualification to the last 16 of the tournament....

“Yes, golf is a weird game. I was capable of dealing with moving and bouncing cricket balls, but this little silly ball, sitting on the ground, gave me quite a headache early on for few years, but taught me how to be disciplined in controlling the ball,” Lara told PTI on Tuesday speaking about his love for the game. Lara took to golf in 1994 after he beat Sir Garfield Sober’s record of the highest Test knock and has won titles in the Caribbean....

That’s how a Massachusetts defense attorney who regularly works cases in the same courthouse in which Hernandez was arraigned believes Hernandez’s defense will interpret Friday’s indictment of Carlos Ortiz and Ernest Wallace. “I think they were going to go with the theme that this was a rush to arrest (Hernandez). I think this enhances their argument that it was a rush to arrest, then investigate later,’’ said Michael DelSignore, a Bristol, Mass....

New Delhi, Oct 10 (PTI) A historic first World Cup goal did little to blunt the disappointment of losing to Colombia as India under-17 football coach Luis Norton de Matos rued the chances missed by his sprightly team.
