Japan tried their best to fight back as they started to create more chances for themselves. However, Qatar’s swift counter-attacks meant that they were equally dangerous. It did not take long for the Middle-East nation to double their lead through another excellent shot. This time around, it came from Abdulaziz Hatem. The 28-year-old’s powerful shot went into the top corner of Japan’s net, leaving Gonda helpless. The World Cup participants looked slightly jaded at being two goals down within 30 minutes....

In the first half, Barcelona looked the more dominant in terms of possession, but they couldn’t carve an opening in the early minutes, while Real Madrid looked dangerous on the counterattack. But, Barcelona took the lead in the 26th minute through Ivan Rakitic, through a brilliant move by Barcelona, after a simple give and go between the Croatian and Sergi Roberto opened up the Real Madrid defence. Real Madrid clearly lacked quality in the final third and Luka Modric missed the two opportunities he had....

Kanter, who plays in the NBA for Oklahoma City Thunder, is a long-time supporter of Pennsylvania-based preacher Fethullah Gulen, whose extradition Turkey’s President Tayyip Erdogan is seeking in relation to a failed coup last July. Kanter said on his Twitter account that he would hold a news conference in New York on Sunday to discuss his situation. “Got lots of things to say with lots of crazy stories, Be ready!...

Of course, it’s kind of easy to say that when you’re on the side that always wins. Eras change. Stars change. Coaches change. Styles change (well, sort of). The result when the Penguins are on one bench and the Capitals are on the other and a spot in the next round in the pursuit of a Stanley Cup is on the line does not. The Penguins have won nine of the 10 previous meetings....

They’ve come this week at the expense of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Trea Turner and Ryan Zimmerman homered in the sixth inning and the Nationals beat Pittsburgh 3-1 Thursday, completing a four-game sweep and extending their winning streak to a season-high five games. “For us to gather four or five wins in a row, it’s awesome,” Martinez said. “I just want them to keep going, keep playing hard. That’s it.”...

That apparent change of heart is one of several factors giving Chinese reformists hope that the country, too, may be in for some big changes. If China’s crotchety leadership really does head off into the sunset, the next generation of younger, modernizing leaders like Jiang’s heir apparent, Hu Jintao, will have a much freer hand to operate. Partnership in the U.S.-led war on terror has already given Beijing new impetus to hew to the international political mainstream....

Kicinski, known as America’s first gluten-free-only TV chef, allegedly breached the Capitol building, according to a newly unsealed criminal complaint. The FBI says more than 725 people have been arrested in nearly all 50 states, in cases linked to the attack on the Capitol. FBI Task Force Officer Shawn Walsh says he discovered GPS data from a mobile device that was present the day of the riot. The device tracked Kicinski’s movement and is believed to have been near the first-floor northwest doors to the Capitol building at approximately 2:19 p....

Sensing a fertile market, no fewer than five shows are competing for parents’ attention (and Pampers ads) on the cable dial. Each reaches more than 50 million households and all have two things in common: loads of adorably telegenic small persons and lots of baby-friendly, gender-neutral, eco-correct enlightenment. But there are differences, too. Each half-hour series stakes out its own age-related turf, from prenatal care to the preschool blues. As for the hosts, not even Johnny, Oprah and Dr....

RELATED: The Most Disappointing Series Finales Of All Time The manic pixie dream girl may have been popular when television was still black and white, however, the modern-day female typically wants the women appearing on their screens to have more substance. Slowly but surely, this gender stereotype is being taken over by the strong and independent leading lady, which has now become quite a fashionable concept in popular television series today....

In this episode, she will learn about the growing closeness between Hee-do and Ye-jin, played by Nam Joo-hyuk, and the continuing hatred between Hee-do and Yu-rim. This episode of Twenty-Five Twenty-One also hints at a misunderstanding between Hee-do and Ye-jin over Yu-rim. From the former’s perspective, it is not hard to understand her growing anger towards Yu-rim, her groupmate from the fencing team. However, the episode draws on how Ye-jin is unable to take Hee-do’s side at an important moment in her life....

Twitch streamers (and Twitch itself) generally make their money by viewers buying subscriptions to specific channels. Subscriptions make it so they won’t see any ads on that specific channel, as well as lets them comment in subscriber-only chats. Most Twitch streamers have it set so when someone buys a sub, a popup appears on the stream with their name, a cute graphic, and a little music jingle. The streamer will usually give the buyer a shout out as well, thanking them for supporting the channel....

In a tweet posted to the official Twitch Twitter account, the live-streaming platform confirmed that it is “pushing back” enforcement of the guidelines until March 5. The guidelines were initially supposed to go live on February 19. The delay seems to have gone down well among Twitch broadcasters, especially those who were left feeling confused and concerned when the new community guidelines were unveiled. Many expressed fears that they would be punished for the actions of their viewers, arguing that it wouldn’t be fair if the negative actions of their fans led to them being penalized by the Twitch moderation team....

Under the online gaming platform’s updated policy on hateful conduct and harassment, the use of these epithets in a negative way to target someone will be prohibited for livestreamers and users leaving comments in the chat section. As well as the actual words, Twitch users will not be able to send emotes—an icon or emoji that people post in the chat section to react to a livestream—which are meant to represent terms such as virgin....

However, with the recent launch of Pokémon GO, a new Twitch Plays opportunity has been found, and of course there is already a livestream to watch and participate in. It was only a matter of time before Twitch Plays Pokémon GO became a thing; with the only surprise being how much time it took for a legitimate option to show up. Those curious to see how Twitch Plays Pokémon GO works can check it out on the Twitch page, but be aware that this isn’t as legitimate as it might seem....

However, with the damage hopefully contained for now, life is continuing more or less as usual for those who use Twitch to stream or watch. Some of those users were bummed out when, a little over a month ago, Spanish streamer MarkiLokurasY was handed a permanent ban. They now have reason to be less distraught. RELATED: People Are Trolling Twitch With Jeff Bezos Images The reason behind MarkiLokurasY’s permanent ban didn’t have to do with any outrageous behavior or line crossing on his part, at least not this time....

Adin Ross put up $20,000 in a Splitgate wager match against fellow Twitch streamer yourrage. Unfortunately for Ross, he was outmatched by yourrage, ultimately losing the 1v1 Free for All match 12 points to 3. In a clip making the rounds online, Ross is killed by yourrage for the last time, smashes his controller repeatedly on his desk, and then rage quits out of the game while it’s showing the killcam....

Ludwig recently got banned on Instagram for a week due to a photo he shared, in which he posed with his friend known simply as “Slime.” The popular Twitch streamer claimed he met Joe Rogan at the boxing event alongside the photo, which may be the strange reason he was banned. The photo showed Ludwig and Slime standing proudly at ringside after the fight like several other fans who took photos after the boxing event came to a conclusion....

Fans won’t be disappointed with Pokimane’s tour, as she shows her entire living space including her room, closets, bathroom, and more. She also has a balcony filled with plants and furniture so she can relax in good weather, although her view of Los Angeles from the balcony isn’t shown. This is almost certainly for privacy reasons, as most streamers try to keep their addresses secret for personal safety and to avoid things like swatting incidents....

While Sodapoppin rose to fame through streaming World of Warcraft, the creator feels he may not be on the best terms with Blizzard. Sodapoppin claims that, despite his success through Blizzard’s IPs, he has never received access to any of Blizzard’s betas for games like Overwatch or World of Warcraft. During a recent stream, Sodapoppin explained his reasoning for the sour relationship, relating a story from the days leading up to Blizzard’s 2014 Diablo 3 expansion, Reapers of Souls....
