However, amid the hysteria of India’s historic win, new details have emerged which somewhat seem to take the sheen off the Colts’ victory. While the All India Football Federation (AIFF) announced the friendly match opponents to be the Italian Under-17 national side, it has since come to light that the team that turned up to face India wasn’t the first team. As things transpired, the team that took to the field against the Indian Colts was a representative side of Lega Pro....

Researchers in Australia say transporting food around the world causes three gigatons of gasses to be emitted every year, and 6 six percent of all greenhouse gas emissions are food emissions linked to transport. The amount of food emissions linked to trucks, ships, trains, and planes is seven times higher than previously believed.

HELSINKI (Reuters) - Spain’s Javier Fernandez did not need to wait for the scores to flash up to know he had delivered a jaw-dropping short programme at the world figure skating championships on Thursday - all he had to do was to look at his coach Brian Orser. The 55-year-old Canadian leapt so high with both arms raised, he could have easily hurdled over the side barriers and into the rink to hug his world champion skater....

On Day 1, Sun Yang dominated in the men’s 400m freestyle, winning by over three seconds in a time of 3:41.59. Though he was 1.5 seconds off the world record (set in the shark skin suit era), he said he was pleased with his time because he didn’t have a major challenger. If he had had one, he said, he would have gone a lot faster. It was the perfect way to answer his critics after a pretty dismal few months, and shows that he has lost none of his sparkle from the London Olympics a year ago, where he won golds in the 400m free and 1,500m free....

So, keeping this in mind, here are all the mainline Final Fantasy entries, ranked in terms of their difficulty....

Ibra took to his new club in Los Angeles in classic Zlatan style, netting a long-range wondergoal and nodding home from close range to ensure another debut to remember as he enamoured himself to US soccer. Aubameyang also bagged a double, and receives bonus team-player points for passing on a penalty that would have sealed his hat-trick, the Gabonese instead handing the spot-kick to the returning Alexandre Lacazette. Auba’s old club Dortmund fell to an embarrassing 6-0 defeat in Der Klassiker, during which Robert Lewandowski - also a former BVB man - struck thrice to seal his place in EA Sports’ 23-man squad this week....
