The Manchester United goalkeeper allowed a skidding drive from the Real Madrid superstar to slip through his grasp on a night dominated by the Portuguese forward. De Gea also made an uncharacteristic error during a pre-tournament friendly clash with Switzerland, with a usually reliable performer seeing his high standards dip. Nacho, though, has no concerns when it comes to the Premier League Golden Glove winner, with the 27-year-old being backed to remain an important figure for Spain....

The 29-year-old has traded Old Trafford for Emirates Stadium after being used in a swap deal which took Alexis Sanchez in the opposite direction. He was deemed surplus to requirements by United after slipping down the pecking order, with Mourinho having once again taken the decision to favour other options. Petrosyan believes his star turn was unfairly treated by the Red Devils, but feels a move will prove beneficial to all concerned as Mkhitaryan is now at a club where his obvious ability will be embraced....

The Spanish striker had endured a 13-game drought without a goal prior to finding the target in an FA Cup quarter-final clash with Leicester. His struggles had seen him benched by Antonio Conte and left out of the latest squad selected by his country. Fellow countryman Pedro is, however, confident that belief will return to the 25-year-old’s game now that he is back on target. “I’m very happy for Alvaro to score again and hopefully that will give him the confidence to score more,” the World Cup winner told Chelsea’s official website....

How do you like being next to Times Square? We love it. We like to say “it’s the best show running on Broadway.” Is New York more sinful than other cities? Oh, absolutely. The concentration of sin per square inch in New York is so much greater. How so? The billboards, the triple-X places, the alcoholics. Even the people coming out of the theaters–they’ve paid maybe hundreds of dollars for their tickets, but there’s no lasting joy on their faces....

The article is no uncertainty principle, but it may make the annals of intellectual history anyway: Sokal’s paper is a parody. He set out to produce “an article liberally salted with nonsense,” he writes in the journal Lingua Franca, where he reveals the hoax, and by getting it published “expose this trendy faction of the so-called academic left which holds that science is no more than a social convention.” Now Sokal is receiving more than 100 e-mail messages a day congratulating or slamming him....

When I did find out, I was a little shocked at first. But my father was very open about it. We’re a very open, close knit family who communicate well, so it was never a taboo topic. Though he didn’t talk about it very often when my sister and I were teenagers, when he did it was always with truth and openness. That’s the relationship I have with my parents....

By the age of 42, I’d spent over 20 years living and working in London. It would be accurate to say that the motto “living to work” applied to me. I had a great career in the music industry, an incredible network of dear friends and was close enough to my childhood home to visit Mom whenever I wanted. Being an only child we were extremely close and we always joked that she lived vicariously through me....

Veteran tough guy actor Robert Davi returns to the director chair for the third time in a film written by Brian Gadawa. “I don’t believe any voice should be held down in America, as the left is doing,” Davi told Newsweek. “In Hollywood today, most conservatives are afraid to speak up. That has got to change.” The film repeatedly makes jibes at the Biden family, liberals and the media as it attempts to shed light on a story filled with conspiracy theories and political wrongdoing....

MORE: Kris Bryant trade rumors: Which teams could land him? Times have changed, however, and the industry has shifted to a model that is heavily reliant on digital revenue. Card-collecting modes have become the primary development focus as many consumers end up spending more money after buying the game than on the games themselves. The goal then becomes to get the game in the hands of as many people as possible and keep them actively playing for as long as possible....

Two pieces of news put Monster Hunter 3G in the headlines today. First, the game’s opening cinematic has made its way online. Second, a Monster Hunter 3G demo will soon be available to 3DS owners in Japan, though Nintendo’s obtuse policies mean that the trial will be a limited experience in the strictest sense of the word. Capcom’s Monster Hunter games have long played host to extravagant opening cinematics, and the company has pulled out all the stops for Monster Hunter 3G....
