Messi returned from a three-month international ban to lead Argentina past Brazil 1-0 thanks to his 13th-minute goal in Riyadh on Friday. Argentina star Messi missed Argentina’s previous four matches due to a suspension for accusing CONMEBOL of favouring hosts Brazil – who won their semi-final meeting – at the Copa America and he was in the thick of the action against Tite’s Selecao. Messi and Tite exchanged words in the opening half, with the Barcelona superstar seen putting his fingers to his lips as the Brazil boss complained to the referee....

But he arguably could not have asked for a trickier matchup than a meeting with the reigning world champions France. This is not the first time the two nations have met across their footballing history, or indeed during the career of Argentina’s No.10. MORE: Messi vs Mbappe: Who has the better record?

With Detroit’s only loss its past five games coming at home against AFC-best Buffalo on Thanksgiving, it is very much alive and well in the race for the NFC playoffs. Not only did the second-place Lions improve their chances to earn a wild-card berth, but they also delayed the Vikings from clinching the division title until Week 15. Here’s what Detroit’s big win over Minnesota to even the season series means for its playoff chances:...

The Yukan Fuji, an evening edition published by newspaper group Sankei Shimbun, claimed in a November 5 column that a lip reader had decoded a sentence said to China’s former president moments before he was escorted away in front of thousands of colleagues and members of the local and international press. The incident, still a mystery in part due to Beijing’s refusal to openly acknowledge it, took place during the closing session of the Chinese Communist Party’s 20th National Congress on October 22....

The big surprise: all five contestants remain. Sweet P, Chris, Jillian, Rami and Christian—part of a group that style guru Tim Gunn has said are the best designers the show has seen so far—all exhibited their collections, which yielded an unprecedented number of feathery dresses and ruffled skirts. Ramin Setoodeh and Jessica Bennett discuss the highs and lows of the show in Listening In, an occasional series of conversations between NEWSWEEK reporters....

Some of the most celebrated names in the game reached heights of success by bludgeoning opponents with their incessant shot-making. Nevertheless, they also missed a staggering number of shots during their careers. On that note, here’s a look at the ten players who have missed at least 12,000 field goals in the NBA. The list includes some of the most lethal scorers to have ever played the game. So without further ado, let’s get started:...

But while there really is very little deliberate and widespread cheating in modern elections, the illusion that everyone cheats all the time may in fact help create a reality in which, well, everyone cheats all the time. The fiction that Democrats—especially black and Hispanic Democrats—steal elections has gained traction only since 2000. And that fervent belief has rapidly gone from a Bush administration side dish to its main course. This explains last year’s firing of at least two U....

Bandai Namco and Tarsier Studios’ original puzzle-platformer horror adventure game was met with widespread acclaim, with many praising the game’s challenging puzzles, terrifying characters, and art style.

After watching his performance as China’s president since early 2003, most outsiders—and even many Chinese—had dismissed him as weak and indecisive, beholden to the policies and the Politburo he inherited from his predecessor in the post, Jiang Zemin. But two weeks ago Hu suddenly began shaking things up. First he axed one of his biggest adversaries on the Politburo, Shanghai party secretary (and senior Jiang loyalist) Chen Liangyu, in the highest-level purge in 11 years....

For LIV Golf players, payday is once a month, but it’s well worth the wait. With big-money purses going out to the field of 48 — and the 12 teams of four — LIV Golf keeps the cash flow going as their momentum keeps rolling. LIV Golf’s purses are the stuff of legend in the golf world already: With a $4 million check cut to the winner of their tournaments, LIV winners make more than any major tournament winner on the PGA Tour, a fact that likely pushes many of the PGA’s top players to at least consider jumping ship....

Musicians might be all leather jackets, Jack Daniel’s, and sleeping past noon, but they’re a conservative bunch regarding gear—especially software. The golden rule is to never upgrade a working setup unless you have to. But if you use Ableton Live on any recent Mac, you should run, not walk, to the update page. Now that it supports Apple Silicon, Live is faster and uses way less CPU. But it’s not all good news—if you rely on old plugins for your music, you may be in for a disappointment....

Wilson, a political strategist whose group targets President Donald Trump and his allies, took aim specifically at Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Ken Buck (R-CO), Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA)—mentioning each by name. He also mentioned, more widely, others who have complained about what they deem censorship on platforms. “They act as if they’ve been oppressed somehow, that the world is against them somehow,” he said on MSNBC....
