It’s the final match of the 2017 FA Cup quarterfinal stage and it’s the big one. Pahang takes a 3-1 lead into the second leg tie to be played on Sunday night at Tan Sri Hj Hassan Yunos Stadium in Johor Bahru.

Former Arizona Senator Jeff Flake, Cindy McCain and Governor Doug Ducey are targeted by the resolution, which will be brought to vote during the party’s annual meeting on January 23. The censure resolution condemns Flake’s and McCain’s endorsement of President-elect Joe Biden in the presidential race, as well as Ducey’s response to the state’s coronavirus outbreak. A censure is a formal statement of disapproval by the party. The state GOP is voting to “dissolve any connections” to Flake and McCain, and to demand that Ducey “immediately rescind all executive orders and directives issued under this faux state of emergency,” according to KPNX....

For every Tendulkar there is a Dravid. Many a times I think if Tendulkar would have never played cricket Dravid would be the name of Indian Cricket. Similarly had Armstrong not come back to cycling from his cancer recovery, who would be the one to replace him in the cycling worlds history. My bet is Jan Ullrich. A German former professional road bicycle racer. In 1997, he was the first German to win the Tour de France....

Japan caused the biggest upset of the tournament by drubbing the sport’s superpower China by clinching the first three matches of their last four tie. In the process, Japan assured themselves of at least a silver medal by entering their first ever final of the prestigious biennial tournament. China, who have won the last five editions of the tournament, had to be content with a bronze. The last time they failed to enter the final was 12 years back in 2002....
“Even after the two losses, I was still thinking light heavyweight title,” Cannonier told Sporting News about his state of mind following back-to-back defeats against Jan Blachowicz in December 2017 and Dominick Reyes in May 2018. But soon thereafter, he moved to Arizona, the weight started coming off his 5-11 frame and that’s when the hunch hit him. “As the weight went down, I said ‘I might as well be 185 (pounds) and have a better chance of getting there,” he says, “so, here I am....
