However, the Western India Football Association (WIFA) has expressed that it does not fear losing its identity on the national level. ‘’It is the business of the clubs if they want to shut down or keep their deals. Our (WIFA’s) job is to increase the participation. Today in Maharashtra, there are 28 teams in U-15, U-13 and U-18 leagues, which is a big chunk. I don’t think any other state would have so much participation,’’ Henry Menezes, CEO of WIFA, tells Goal....

Casemiro is suspended after picking up a second yellow card in the group stage during his side’s 5-0 thrashing of Peru on Saturday. Fernandinho was another option for Tite, but the Manchester City midfielder is still battling a knee injury and the coach said Allan would start in Porto Alegre on Thursday. “Fernandinho is out of the game. Allan will play,” Tite told a news conference. “If we win, if we qualify, maybe he [Fernandinho] will be ready for the next game....

The 62-year-old former England manager, who signed a two-and-a-half-year deal on his appointment last December, was due to hold talks with club owner Steve Parish this week over summer transfer signings. On Sunday he spoke freely about the need to bring in the right quality players after a season in which Palace came close to relegation, surviving largely because of an impressive run which saw them win four successive games in March and April....

Former England boss Allardyce was dismissed by Everton at the end of last season despite guiding them to an eighth-place finish after taking over as manager from Ronald Koeman in November. Allardyce was criticised by a number of fans for the more prosaic style of football he favoured at Goodison Park, with Silva’s arrival from Watford expected to herald a return to possession-based attacking play. However, with Everton 14 points outside the top six after their 10th Premier League defeat of the season to Wolves last Saturday, pressure is mounting on Silva’s position....

Last season, the away kit was plain white in colour with Nike as the kit manufacturer and Aon the kit sponsors. This season also the kit is manufactured by Nike, though it will be the last year of Aon as their 4-year deal with United expires at the end of 2013-14 season. The club signed a 7-year deal for a staggering $80m with American automotive corporation General Motors. The club had previously launched the home kit, which is inspired by elements of the club’s successful history and the city’s industrial heritage....

There were nine bookings in a sometimes bruising encounter, that began with Andrea Barzagli dislocating his shoulder while defending a corner. That thrust Leonardo Bonnuci into action despite the Italy international suffering a thigh injury during the 1-1 Champions League draw against Lyon in midweek. Mario Mandzukic opened the scoring seven minutes after halftime but Sergio Pellissier equalized for Chievo from the penalty spot. Juventus responded swiftly through a wonderful Miralem Pjanic free kick and there could have been further goals as Stefano Sturaro and Juan Cuadrado went close as the clock ticked down....

Allergy shots involve the administration of an allergen (such as pollens, pet dander, molds, and dust mites). It would seem like this would worsen allergy symptoms, but when allergens are injected in low doses, the immune system sometimes responds to the allergens similarly to how it responds to a vaccine. Immunotherapy starts with small doses of an allergen that aren‘y enough cause an allergic reaction, then gradually increasing doses until larger amounts of the allergen can be tolerated....

WATCH: Arsenal’s top goals of the season Alli’s first taste of an international tournament came last year as England were bundled out of Euro 2016 in the last 16 by Iceland. However, Houllier believes the Tottenham star, who scored 22 goals in 50 club games last term as Spurs finished second in the Premier League, could become the Three Lions’ key man in years to come. Houllier was part of the France set-up from 1988 to 1997 - in which time Les Bleus built a side that would win the World Cup on home soil in 1998....

The only cliche that could not be used with any credibility was, “This is a sad day for Cincinnati.” Clearly it wasn’t. The residents of the Queen City are especially prone to optimism right now, thanks to a ball club that, by last weekend, dominated the National League West by nine games, the biggest margin in any division. Cincinnati–a small baseball “market,” where the hot dogs still cost a dollar and the best box seats go for eight bucks–has put together a team that leads everyone else in hitting (....

She also made sure to mention her former band, Little Mix, in a moment many will remember from the original video. Her former bandmates have continued as a three, though soon two of those members, Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, will likely be taking some maternity leave after they became pregnant at similar times. But Nelson is making a clear break from her roots, moving into hip hop-inflected beats with some notable appearances from megastars....

However, games don’t stay on Xbox Game Pass forever, and with every batch of excellent new releases also comes an array of excellent games that take their leave from the service. December is a very sharp double-edged sword for Game Pass, with juggernauts like Halo Infinite, Among Us, and Mortal Kombat 11 all hitting the service, making its relatively low price tag feel even more like a bargain. Yet, there are also quite a few titles leaving Game Pass that are just as worthy of players’ time, and a few that have already said their goodbyes....

In the footage, filmed by an undercover Daily Telegraph investigation team, Allardyce said it is “not a problem” to bypass the rules introduced by the FA in 2008. The FA has made no comment so far but has asked the newspaper for the full transcripts of the secretly taped recordings and is awaiting a response. FA officials are reportedly due to assess the allegations at a meeting at Wembley later in the day according to the Guardian’s report....

Rooney returned to boyhood club Everton at the start of the season after 13 years at Old Trafford, where he enjoyed a remarkable career, becoming United’s all-time leading goal-scorer while winning every major domestic trophy as well as the Champions League, Europa League and FIFA Club World Cup. Expectations were high for Rooney and Everton this season, with the club investing heavily in their squad, but, though they are closing in on an eighth-place finish, the campaign has been largely disappointing....

Donna Francis, 39, allegedly administered a fatal “butt lift” procedure to 34-year-old Kelly Mayhew in May 2015. Francis, of Loughton, England, has been described as a “fake plastic surgeon” who allegedly operated a fraudulent medical clinic in Queens, New York.
