Spalletti’s men enjoyed a 16-game unbeaten run at the start of the season, but their inconsistent form since December has left them scrapping for a top-four finish. A win at San Siro on Saturday will ensure the Nerazzurri head into the crucial final match against Lazio with their Champions League hopes still in their hands. Fifth-place Inter are two points behind Simone Inzaghi’s side and could finish as high as third if Roma fail to win either of their last two games....

Eight goals in four games – albeit half of those against Ireland – and Spain are moving on towards their date with destiny as they target an unprecedented third straight major title. Spain have had to deal with a certain amount of criticism as against Italy and Croatia they found it hard to serve up caviar football, particularly with coach Vicente Del Bosque’s predilection for economising on the strikers....

It was an emotional victory that moved the 14-time Grand Slam champion to tears here on Thursday, reports Efe. Nadal, whose participation in these Games was in doubt until shortly before the opening ceremony, decided after seven straight victories over two events that he needed to give his body a rest and withdrew from the mixed doubles, which got under way on Thursday. The 30-year-old Spanish, who won gold at the 2008 Beijing Games but was unable to defend his title in London due to injury, assured himself of a second Olympic medal with the hard-fought men’s doubles victory....

Carlo Ancelotti claimed Napoli asked for the match at San Siro to be suspended on three separate occasions due to the chanting, but no action was taken. Koulibaly was sent off after picking up two yellow cards before Lautaro Martinez scored a stoppage-time winner for Inter, and Lorenzo Insigne also saw red late on for Napoli. Spalletti said change was needed in Italian football, adding there was no place for racism....

The new-look Nerazzurri stumbled in their first outing of the 2018-19 Serie A campaign, with Domenico Berardi’s first-half penalty settling the game in Sassuolo’s favour. Miranda conceded the spot-kick by bundling over Federico Di Francesco as Inter’s high line was particularly susceptible to pace in behind, although Spalletti supported his players for adhering to his instructions. “The team played the match like they should’ve done,” he said, as quoted by Inter’s official website....

A double-century stand between Chris Rogers and James Hildreth helped third-placed Somerset put immediate pressure on leaders Middlesex and second-placed Yorkshire, who are playing each other at Lord’s. The pair compiled a third-wicket partnership of 269 on Tuesday as they reached 302 for two. However, Rogers’ dismissal for 132 – one of six victims for England bowler Jake Ball – triggered a batting collapse. Hildreth followed six runs later for 135, and they finished day one at Taunton on 322 for nine, with little opportunity remaining to secure the maximum batting bonus points they will probably need to overhaul the top two....

Spieth, a three-time major champion, should have been close to the lead, only to finish with a one-under 69 in Honolulu on Thursday. The American was four under with two holes to play, but he endured a nightmare on the par-four eighth.

Splatoon 3: Weapon Freshness Explained In essence, a weapon’s freshness represents the total amount of turf that a player has inked with it. Indeed, as fans ink turf in Splatoon 3’s Turf War and Anarchy Battle game modes, they will see their used weapon’s freshness bar begin to fill. When that bar is completely full, the weapon will gain a star and an empty bar will appear. Players can then work on gaining another star by filling this new bar, and the process repeats until the weapon has reached 5-star freshness....

Splatoon 3 brings back Splatfests with a few twists. Being the third entry in the franchise, the game incorporates three sides with a new Tricolor Turf War mode. The theme for the first post-launch Splatfest revolves around things people would bring to a deserted island, with Gear, Grub, and Fun being the three sides to choose from. Splatfest can be daunting for first-time players, but it actually plays similarly to most of Splatoon 3’s normal modes....

The maps, especially, are beautifully designed and take full advantage of the unique mechanics within Splitgate. To maximize their effectiveness within both ranked and casual play, players will want to familiarize themselves with the entire roster of arenas available within the game. Abyss Abyss is one of the faster-paced maps in Splitgate. While it’s not necessarily all that small, the map mainly consists of tight corridors and cramped fighting spaces, meaning that players will have to be on their toes constantly....

Dimitrov jumped over the net and sprinted to check on Edmund when the Brit collapsed in agony with an injured ankle at 4-4 during the evening session in Brisbane on Friday. The in-form defending champion helped Edmund back to his chair and consigned him to a 6-3 6-7 (3-7) 6-4 defeat following a short break while his opponent received treatment.

Diamondbacks: Several bobbleheads are on the schedule — Patrick Corbin, Gerardo Parra, Martin Prado, Bob Brenly, Paul Goldschmidt — but the best giveaway of the bunch is the “D-backs Zombie” on Aug. 2 against the Pirates.
