44 h. ago Tuchel wants Bellingham’s fire so long as England’s ace leaves his ego at door | Jacob Steinberg

The Real Madrid midfielder is part of an attack-minded squad but the manager will be watching him carefullyOne snub was enough. Another and it would have started to look vindictive from Thomas Tuchel, who is far too wily not to know that winning the World Cup is probably going to require help from Jude Bellingham, even if it is also on the midfielder to fit into the tactical structures and squad hierarchies required with England now that he is back in Tuchel’s warm embrace.The manager wants Bellingham’s edge, his fire, but it is about using it in the right way. Individual quality matters but England know from bitter experience that there is a price to pay when celebrity takes over. Still, a point has been made. Continue reading...

4 d. ago Van de Ven brushes off Frank snub and reflects on his Spurs wondergoal

He feels incident with manager blown out of proportionDefender told himself he had to score after storming runMicky van de Ven has downplayed the furore over his standoff with Thomas Frank after Tottenham’s Premier League defeat by Chelsea on Saturday, insisting it was misinterpreted and blown out of proportion. The centre-half preferred to focus on how the team had bounced back to thrash Copenhagen in the Champions League on Tuesday – a tie in which he scored a thrilling individual goal.Van de Ven was all smiles after Copenhagen, his surge and finish from one box to the other drawing comparisons to Son Heung-min’s Puskas Award-winning effort for Spurs against Burnley in 2019. It was a vivid contrast to the post-Chelsea scenes when Spurs were booed off by their home crowd, having also been jeered by them during the game. Continue reading...

6 d. ago How Mortal Kombat (and moral panic) changed the gaming world

On its release in 1993, Midway’s gore-filled fighting game ushered in a new era of hyperviolent gaming that continues to influence the industry to this dayOn 9 December 1993, Democratic senator Joe Lieberman sat before a congressional hearing on video game violence and told attendees that the video game industry had crossed a line. The focus of his ire was Mortal Kombat, Midway’s bloody fighting game, recently released on the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo Entertainment System after a successful run in the arcades. “Blood splatters from the contestants’ heads,” he told the room. “The game narrator instructs the player to finish his opponent.

He succeeded in that – the Ente...
