The Zurich-based chocolate maker denies the claims and says that its chocolate is the same wherever it is sold. In launching a formal anti-monopoly case, the FAS said that the information on Lindt packaging leads consumers to believe that they are being offered the same chocolate that is produced and sold under the same brand in western Europe....

The ever-reliable Fabrizio Romano also claims Lionel Messi eventually decided to green-light his transfer to Paris Saint-Germain this summer after being convinced by the offer submitted by the Ligue 1 giants. As per the report, the agreement will keep the playmaker at the Parc des Princes until the summer of 2023, with the option to extend it further by a year.

The Catalans have already qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League, so the decision does not come as a surprise. Barcelona are currently top of Group G, having won all of their four games so far. The Spanish giants started their new campaign with a 5-1 win over Ferencvaros at home and then followed it up with a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Juventus on matchday two.

In case you didn’t know… Lionel Messi is in brilliant form this season and is currently leading the race for the European Golden Shoe.

The 31-year old has also scored six goals in the Champions League this season and is only behind Robert Lewandowski as the Champions League top goalscorer....

The 35-year-old added a World Cup title to his trophy case in December, cementing his status as the greatest player of all-time.

The 35-year-old winger named three sides that he believes are capable of winning the upcoming World Cup. Messi, who’ll be going to his fifth World Cup finals with Argentina, gives England, Brazil and France a better chance than the rest of the teams participating. He also commented on the mood within the Argentina camp as they look for their first World Cup triumph since 1986. Speaking to the South American Federation CONMEBOL, Messi said: “Whenever we talk about candidates, we always talk about the same teams....

With the seventh overall pick, the Lions appear to be a good spot to land an impact playmaker. They probably won’t opt for a quarterback after acquiring Goff, so they can go with a top receiver there or look to take one of the best defenders in the entire draft. It all depends on what Campbell and Holmes envision for the team. The Matt Patricia-era Lions did already have some talented players on the roster, so Campbell does have some pieces to work with....

Hu Xijin, the editor-in-chief of Chinese Communist Party publication Global Times, wrote Tuesday that Beijing was “making physical and psychological preparations for a U.S.-initiated war.” The editorial was written the day after 97-year-old Kissinger spoke at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum, where he urged the incoming Biden administration to quickly work to find common ground with China’s President Xi Jinping. “The United States and China have never faced countries of a magnitude that is roughly equal with the other....

A lot of McCarthy’s characters have the gypsy habit, a trait they share with their author. In “Child of God” (1973), the necrophiliac mass murderer Lester Ballard is evicted in the novel’s first chapter and thereafter wanders the Tennessee hills, going madder with every step. The title character in “Suttree” (1979), a reputedly autobiographical novel, lives on a houseboat. McCarthy himself, having written exclusively about the South in his first four books, abandoned Tennessee for El Paso more than a decade ago and in effect began a second career writing novels about the Southwest....

The 2020 Little League World Series was called off due to the coronavirus pandemic.

We know voice recording can be applied to the Sackbots in the game, but it is still unknown if other uses will be available. Using a headset, gamers will be able to record pretty much anything they want the Sackbots to say. Given the level of power Media Molecule is placing in the players’ hands, we’re guessing that voice recordings likely won’t be limited to just the Sackbots. While this is an awesome feature, which could lead to some hilarious scenarios, this addition could also cause some awkward and uncomfortable moments....
