The Ten Most Shocking England World Cup Squad Selections

"I was kind of seeing my family there, and it's a special moment to represent my country in the NHL at home in Prague," Hertl said.
"So, a lot of emotion, and it was just a special moment. I'm so proud I can be even here."

Dunne grew her social media following by sharing an inside look at her glamorous life as an NCAA gymnast. By August 2021, she was the most-followed college athlete with 5 million combined followers across multiple platforms. 

"Following discussions with game developers, we realized that 'sense of touch' within gameplay hasn't been a focal point for many games in the PS4 generation," says Takeshi Igarashi, VP of the Peripheral Design Department at Sony Japan, over email. 

After years of competition, she made her elite debut at the 2014 American Classic and went on to join the U.S. national gymnastics team three years later. In 2020, she stepped away from elite gymnastics to compete at the college level at Louisiana State University. 

Some of Doucet's early experiments with the adaptive triggers showcased surprising levels of realism. "We had a demo we didn't put in the game, but it was a hand. You could kind of open and close it," Doucet says. The hand would be able to grab different objects and crush things like glass balls. You could also pick up a fish.

Imagine a current Wigan Athletic player receiving his first England cap while playing in League One last season. Then imagine the same player getting called up for the World Cup while playing in the second tier after promotion. 

For years, the NCAA penalized college athletes for signing endorsement deals, selling autographs, or making paid appearances, among other violations, but the restrictions were lifted on June 30, 2021. 

She was six when her parents signed her up for classes at Midwest Gymnastics Center in Little Canada, where she trained with the gym's owners and pkvgames coaches Jess Graba and Alison Lim throughout her elite gymnastics career.  

But how many games will showcase these new features and will developers take the time? New interfaces are risky. Sometimes, as was the case with the Nintendo Wii, Wii U and even the Joy-Cons on the Switch, it's not easy to get other games to come aboard.

"We started going out to third-party publishers, developers who also work on PlayStation or plan to make PlayStation games, which is why [we made] some of the choices we made about the tech demos," says Doucet. "We had one where you could bounce a ball and the ball could be a basketball, football, volleyball, ping pong ball. And they were all different expressions by the way they were bouncing back and the way the trigger would behave. And we did that because, we thought, well, we're not making a sports game. But you know, there are people where the ball physics and ball behavior is quintessential to the experience. So let's have this kind of demo and see how far we can push out and that goes up to them. And they can sort of get inspired."

But with big public debates over the likes of Harry Maguire and Trent Alexander-Arnold, and with a host of fringe players hoping to make the squad, there is bound to be one selection that raises some eyebrows. 

'And I'm like, "I'm just gonna be whoever I wanna be." I started realizing I love women and I'm gay, and it was big for me because I grew so much. Now I'm so open with my story and who I am as a person, my sexuality, for the purpose of hopefully helping other kids open up and be comfortable with who they are.'

Sunisa Lee, who hails from Minnesota, is the daughter of Laotian refugees who fled the country in the wake of the Vietnam War — and she became the first Hmong-American to represent the United States at the Olympics.

Scherzer ran into trouble immediately when Profar blooped a single on the first pitch of the game before Bell hit a two-out homer well into the left field seats.
Grisham hit a solo shot with two outs in the second, after which Scherzer retired seven straight before Ha-Seong Kim singled leading off the fifth.

The PlayStation 5 is a graphically overloaded console with lots of potential, but its standout feature is clearly the upgraded DualSense. Launching Astro's Playroom, the game preinstalled on the PS5, you get a showcase of what it can do. Its triggers stop and start to make it seem like you're gripping ledges or pulling back bowstrings. Walking across ice, the controller tinkles and taps just perfectly to make it seem like I can feel the crunchy surface. The DualSense's vibrational haptics really do create moments where I can almost touch the game.
