The Jäger 45 Grid-Breaker Kit turns the pistol from a ballistic weapon to an EMP firearm. Alongside giving better movement speed, this kit changes the gun into a recharging EMP device. Although the resultant damage of the device is very low against enemy operators, it can absolutely fry any electronic device, be it throwables or Scorestreaks.
When you unlock the main reward, you will also get a bonus 10000 XP. The six tasks that you need to complete can be a mixture of challenges from any of four game modes, and don’t have to be exclusive to one.

Ecuador’s Richard Carapaz scored a decisive win of the Tour de France at stage 18 on Thursday, securing victory in the final climb to Orcieres-Merlette. While Tadej Pogacar had previously maintained his overall lead, the Slovenian suffered a blow as key teammate Brandon McNulty abandoned the race.
Former England striker Jermain Defoe has described his first managerial job as an “eye-opening experience” following his exit from National League side Woking after just four months and six league games in charge.
But on Thursday, Woking confirmed Defoe’s stint had come to an abrupt end after they “mutually agreed to part ways with immediate effect” – two weeks before the opening match of the new campaign against Sutton United.
“Unfortunately, circumstances have ultimately made it impossible for me to continue in the position,” Defoe said in an Instagram post.

“I am extremely proud of the work undertaken during my time at the club and genuinely felt that we were building something special.
“My time at Woking FC has been an eye-opening managerial experience and one that will undoubtedly make me stronger for the next challenge in my career.”
Defoe’s ninth and final game in charge of Woking was a 1-0 defeat by Braintree Town in one of three pre-season friendlies on Tuesday.
He scored 305 goals in 763 senior appearances for clubs including West Ham, Tottenham, Portsmouth and Sunderland before retiring in 2022.

Defoe, who struck 20 times in 57 international appearances, was part of an interim coaching staff at Rangers in 2021 and then worked in the Spurs academy, before leaving in 2024 to pursue a full-time managerial role.
Shubman Gill; and protestors in Delhi. (ANI/PTI Photos)
NEW DELHI: India Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill has spoken out amid the ongoing student protests over repeated exam paper leaks, urging compassion, mutual respect and a renewed focus on safeguarding the interests of students.In a message shared on his Instagram story on Thursday, Gill stressed that India’s youth deserve every opportunity to pursue their dreams and help build the country’s future. Without referring to any specific protest or political issue, the 26-year-old underlined the importance of education and expressed support for those raising their voices peacefully. “As a young Indian, I believe our generation deserves every opportunity to learn, dream and shape the future we all aspire to,” Gill wrote.His statement comes against the backdrop of widespread protests in several parts of the country, where students have taken to the streets demanding accountability over repeated examination paper leaks.
‘I have immense respect’ for peaceful voices
Gill acknowledged the concerns of young people and praised those choosing peaceful means to express their views.“I have immense respect for every young person who believes in making their voice heard peacefully.”The India skipper said education remains one of the strongest pillars of nation-building and urged everyone to approach the situation with empathy.“Education has the power to shape our nation’s future. I hope we move forward with compassion, mutual respect and keeping the best interests of every student at heart.”He concluded his message with a simple but powerful appeal: “For India’s future.”Gill’s comments add the voice of one of the country’s biggest sporting stars to the growing conversation around ensuring fairness and trust in India’s education system.
Sporting fraternity rallies behind students
Gill is among several leading Indian sportspersons who have publicly reacted to the ongoing protests.Earlier, cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar urged society to build a culture where honesty and merit triumph over shortcuts.“Failure is okay, cheating is not. Never take shortcuts,” Tendulkar wrote, adding that students’ disappointment was understandable when hard work was not rewarded.India’s first individual Olympic gold medallist Abhinav Bindra also highlighted the importance of a strong education system, saying a nation’s true strength lies in the opportunities it creates for its youth.“An education system that inspires confidence, rewards merit and nurtures curiosity is one of a nation’s greatest strengths,” Bindra said, expressing hope that India would continue strengthening its education system for future generations.Grandmaster Nihal Sarin called for accountability, saying the pressure students face while preparing for crucial examinations should never be dismissed.Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif said it was painful to see students being lathi-charged during protests and hoped a solution would emerge soon.Former all-rounder Irfan Pathan said no paper leak should ever destroy years of hard work and family sacrifice, while Shikhar Dhawan appealed for patience, dialogue and faith in the country’s institutions as the way forward.
Manchester United and Rosenborg are due to meet again just two years on from their last friendly clash
Two years have passed since Manchester United last took on Rosenborg and another meeting between the teams this week shows how much has changed at Old Trafford. The clubs are due to face off in Trondheim as United chase a first pre-season win of the summer after losing to Wrexham in Helsinki.
The last meeting between the two sides took place on July 15, 2024. On that occasion, United were in action for the first time since their FA Cup final win but fell to a 1-0 defeat thanks to Noah Holm’s stoppage-time effort.

Holm is no longer at Rosenborg while there have been a great deal of changes as far as the English club are concerned. Not least in the dugout, where then-manager Erik ten Hag was replaced by Ruben Amorim before Michael Carrick took over after just 14 months of the Portuguese boss.

Player-wise, six members of United’s starting XI in Trondheim have moved on while two more could yet depart this summer. We’ve taken a look at who has stayed and who has gone.
Goalkeeper and defence
Radek Vitek started that match in goal and is the only one of the back five to still be on the playing staff at Old Trafford. However, he too could leave this summer.

“At the moment, I am still here, but we will see. I hope so,” the Czech, who wants first team football, said after the Wrexham match. “I hope there will be some interest. I think you will know when things are more concrete.”
Two of the defenders in front of him that day would end up leaving the following month. Aaron Wan-Bissaka joined West Ham, with whom he was relegated in May this year, while Will Fish could end up playing against the Hammers this coming season after his Cardiff City team earned promotion back to the Championship.
Jonny Evans partnered Fish in the middle in Norway and retired at the end of the 2024/25 but stayed with United as a coach. Left-back Sam Murray also left in 2025, signing a one-year deal with Carlisle United, though he’s now in search of a new club once more.

Midfield
Of the three midfielders to start that day, Mason Mount is the only survivor. The England international’s injury woes contributed to his failure to make his country’s World Cup squad but he was in action for United against Wrexham over the weekend.
Until a few weeks ago, Casemiro was also still around. However, the Brazilian left upon the expiry of his contract and has now begun a new chapter in Major League Soccer with Inter Miami.
Hannibal was back in the fold in the summer of 2024 after a spell on loan at Sevilla but didn’t last long. The Tunisian international joined Burnley on a permanent deal in August of that year and remains at Turf Moor to this day, though he may find himself attracting interest after the Clarets were relegated last term.

Attack
Pre-season often allows teams to blood youth, especially when waiting for international players to return after major tournaments. On this occasion, that meant Ethan Williams on the wing and Ethan Wheatley up front, with both academy graduates still at the club.
The other member of the front three was Marcus Rashford, who had surprisingly been left out of Gareth Southgate’s England plans for Euro 2024. He is back at Old Trafford this summer but it’s not clear for how long.
Barcelona let a buy option for the forward expire after a season-long loan but there is still reported interest in the 28-year-old. Carrick will have a big call to make on whether he sees a place for him in the squad for this upcoming season.

Manchester United have launched their new home kit for the 2026/27 season, inspired by the club’s heritage and featuring a classic polo collar with iconic adidas details.
WBC welterweight world champion Ryan Garcia has predicted how Terence Crawford would fare if tasked with boxing legend Thomas Hearns in his prime.
Crawford became boxing’s sixth five-division world champion when he defeated Canelo Alvarez back in September, 37 years after Hearns became boxing’s first five-weight conqueror.
Meanwhile, Crawford became the first fighter in 17 years to join the five-division club when he dethroned Canelo, simultaneously becoming the first post-war boxer to reign as an undisputed champion in three different divisions.
As a result, ‘Bud’ has earned his place amongst boxing’s all-time greats and now that he has retired, he is beginning to receive the recognition that his phenomenal career merits, unanimously considered as a pound-for-pound legend.
However, in an interview with Daily Mail Sport, Garcia admitted that he would still favour Hearns in a fantasy fight with the Omaha-born switch-hitter, with the size of the Detroit icon presumably being one key factor.
Garcia then went on to pick Hearns to come out on top against Floyd Mayweather, but admitted that Sugar Ray Leonard would always have Hearns’ number if they fought in their primes, despite their controversial rematch in 1989; where Leonard was fortunate to escape with a draw and later admitted that he lost that fight.
ATLANTA — Chris Sale matched a season-high with 11 strikeouts and the Atlanta Braves hit four home runs in a 6-5 win over the San Diego Padres on Thursday.
Dominic Smith hit a three-run homer and Michael Harris II and Ozzie Albies had solo blasts off bulk reliever Griffin Canning as the Braves took three of four from San Diego. All-star Drake Baldwin added his 19th of the season in the seventh inning.
Sale (11-6) gave up three runs on five hits and a walk in six innings of work. All three runs came in the second inning.
Ty France hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning off Braves reliever Tyler Kinley to pull the Padres within one at 6-5. Danny Young came on for the Braves and recorded the third out of the eighth inning, then Raisel Iglesias threw a scoreless ninth to record his 21st save.

Canning (1-9) took over in the second inning after a perfect first from Padres opener Kyle Hart. Harris greeted him with a 420-foot home run to right field. Canning lasted 2.2 innings and gave up five runs, four earned as his ERA climbed to 6.97.
Harris was 2-for-4 with two runs scored and is now 6-for-7 in his career against Canning. Albies was 2-for-4 for the Braves, who have won six of eight.
Luis Rengifo was 2-for-5 and had a two-run single off Sale.
Padres: RHP Germán Márquez (4-2, 5.24) will open a three-game series at Miami on Friday.

The trade values chart aims to help you make the best value trades you can

Every week, we update our Fantasy Baseball rankings to reflect the latest injuries, standout performances, and more to help you make the best lineup decisions you can.
That includes trade advice, with the latest Trade Values Chart here to help you make the right trades to build a championship roster. Here’s how it works: Look for the value of the player(s) you’re giving up, compare it to the value of the player(s) you’re getting in return, and if you’ve got more points coming back to you than you’re giving up, go ahead and pull the trigger on that trade.
Now, of course, it’s not an exact science; if the values are pretty close but you like the player you’re getting back more than I do, go ahead and make the trade. And, the more lopsided the trade is in terms of the number of players moved on each side, the less you have to adhere to the values; trading three quarters, two dimes, and a nickel for a dollar is usually not going to work out well for the person getting all that change.
We’ve got values for both H2H points and Roto/categories leagues below, and you can also use these as rest-of-season rankings for both formats as well. And, if you don’t see a player listed here, I’m treating them as if they have very minimal trade value.

St. George Illawarra Dragons vs Gold Coast Titans Preview
St George Illawarra returns to Kogarah aiming to bounce back after a spirited performance against the Warriors went unrewarded. The Dragons competed strongly against one of the competition’s benchmark teams and will take confidence into a winnable clash with Gold Coast.
The Titans showed admirable resilience after a poor start against Manly but again exposed defensive vulnerabilities, particularly on the edges. That could play directly into St George’s hands, with Tyrell Sloan’s pace posing a constant threat if the Dragons can generate quick ball. Shane Flanagan’s side has built its recent improvement on defensive effort and discipline, and another gritty display should create enough opportunities to pressure Gold Coast into mistakes in what shapes as a tight contest.

FIFA announce star-studded World Cup Dream XI featuring Messi, Mbappé and Haaland/ Image: X
Spain may have lifted the 2026 FIFA World Cup trophy after defeating Argentina 1-0 following extra time in New Jersey, but the tournament’s best-performing players have now also been recognised after FIFA revealed its official Dream XI.The Team of the Tournament, selected through a global fan vote, reflects the standout performers from six weeks of football across the United States, Canada and Mexico. While Spain, France and Argentina dominate the selection after reaching the semi-finals, England’s third-place finish was rewarded with just a single representative.Jude Bellingham is the only England player to make FIFA’s Dream XI despite Thomas Tuchel’s side ending the tournament on a high with a remarkable 6-4 victory over France in the third-place play-off.
Bellingham flies England’s flag
Bellingham’s inclusion comes after another outstanding major tournament for the Real Madrid midfielder.The 23-year-old finished with seven goals, the highest tally ever recorded by an England player at a single FIFA World Cup, helping the Three Lions secure their best finish since winning the tournament in 1966.Despite England producing several standout performers, including Bukayo Saka’s historic hat-trick against France and Declan Rice’s record-breaking third-place play-off display, Bellingham was the only English player voted into the final XI.
Spain, France and Argentina dominate selections
Fresh from captaining Spain to their second World Cup title, Rodri headlines the midfield after also winning the Golden Ball as the tournament’s best player.Spain have three representatives in total, with both full-backs Marc Cucurella and Pedro Porro joining their captain in the side after Luis de la Fuente’s men completed an unbeaten tournament by defeating Argentina in the final.France also supply three players despite finishing fourth.Golden Boot winner Kylian Mbappé occupies the right side of the attack after finishing the tournament with 10 goals, becoming the first player to win the World Cup Golden Boot twice while also breaking Lionel Messi’s all-time World Cup scoring record with 22 career goals.Michael Olise takes one of the midfield places after producing a record-breaking campaign of his own. The France playmaker finished the tournament with seven assists, the most ever recorded by a player at a single FIFA World Cup.Dayot Upamecano completes France’s contingent in central defence.Argentina, beaten finalists after Ferran Torres’ 106th-minute winner, have two players in the XI.Lionel Messi features on the left wing after finishing the tournament with eight goals and four assists, while defender Lisandro Martínez partners Upamecano at the heart of the defence.Completing the front three is Norway striker Erling Haaland, who marked his World Cup debut by firing his country to a historic first-ever quarter-final appearance while scoring seven goals during the tournament.
Cape Verde cult hero earns goalkeeper spot

Perhaps the biggest surprise in the Dream XI is the goalkeeper selection.Rather than Golden Glove winner Unai Simón, England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford or France’s Mike Maignan, fans voted for Cape Verde veteran Vozinha.The 40-year-old became one of the breakout stars of the tournament during Cape Verde’s memorable run to the Round of 32 before they narrowly lost 3-2 after extra time to eventual finalists Argentina.Vozinha kept clean sheets against both Spain and Saudi Arabia, made 18 saves across the tournament and outperformed his expected goals against figure by 0.9.His performances also made him an unlikely social media sensation. According to tournament figures, the goalkeeper began Cape Verde’s opening match against Spain with around 50,000 Instagram followers. After producing seven saves against the eventual champions and continuing his impressive campaign, that number reportedly surged to 29.5 million by the end of the World Cup.

The Las Vegas Raiders signed quarterback Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, on Thursday.
The Heisman Trophy winner’s four-year rookie deal is worth a fully guaranteed $57.27 million and includes a fifth-year option.
Mendoza, 22, guided Indiana to its first national championship and a 16-0 season in 2025. He completed 72.0% of his passes for 3,535 yards with 41 touchdowns and six interceptions in his lone season with the Hoosiers.
The Raiders signed veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins as the likely Week 1 starter for this season, with Mendoza as the long-term face of the franchise.

Mendoza and the Raiders reportedly had been at odds over his signing bonus. The team did not disclose those details on Thursday.
Rookies were due to report to training camp for Las Vegas on Wednesday.
Mendoza played his first two collegiate campaigns at Cal from 2023-24, throwing for a combined 4,712 yards with 30 TDs and 16 interceptions in 20 games for the Golden Bears.
