The American-born Rossi tested positive for an eye drug that can be used as a masking agent. The anti-doping prosecutor was seeking a one-year ban but the 31-year-old Rossi was given only a reprimand following Monday’s hearing. The test was in May after Rossi played for Genoa at the end of the last Serie A season. “Today a nightmare of four months is over,” Rossi wrote on Twitter. “Now I just want to think about football and keep doing what I love more than anything else....

Sunday’s 1-0 Premier League win at home to Liverpool – secured thanks to a trademark Giroud header – moved fifth-placed Chelsea two points outside the top four with a pair of fixtures remaining. Giroud’s solo strike also booked a place in the FA Cup final for Chelsea and the France forward hopes his experience of last-gasp Champions League qualification at Arsenal will be useful for his new team. “I hope I can be the lucky charm for the Champions League race in the final sprint,” said Giroud, who signed for Chelsea in January....

With the GM’s of the respective 31 franchises meeting with league executives Monday on Florida, the topic of goaltender interference reviews was front and center, amid a season that has produced more questions than answers regarding what does and does not constitute goaltender interference. Among the ideas floated around according to multiple reports is funneling all goaltender interference video reviews through the league’s war room in Toronto instead of having the referees in the arena control them....

For those looking to better link how Kratos went from one of gaming’s bloodthirstiest anti-heroes to a grieving father searching for repentance, a new tie-in comic series from Dark Horse will seemingly offer the answers. Slated to release on March 10, God of War: Fallen God will take place between the events of God of War 3 and 2018’s God of War, with the comic showing Kratos’ journey between both games....

The tallest being in the God of War series, exploring the vast corpse of Thamur is one of the many memorable areas in the game, and thus contains many great secrets to be discovered.

It’s worth highlighting the serious difference between the two titles before moving forward. God of War is set in a mythological background adhering to Norse belief, but the game itself does not feature Vikings, nor is it set in the era of the Viking. Assuming that leaks concerning Assassin’s Creed Kingdom have been thus far accurate, then we can expect our new protagonist(s) to be of Viking heritage and set in this era around 1000 AD, hundreds of years after Assassin’s Creed Odyssey....

2018’s God of War saw Kratos trade in the Greek Pantheon for Norse Mythology in a personal journey alongside his young son, Atreus. As with the original games, the Ghost of Sparta crossed paths with many figures of Norse myths, such as the Jormungandr, also known as the World Serpent, and the wise Mimir. However, Kratos and Atreus were the heart of the game’s narrative as it explored the relationship between the two in a journey of self-discovery....

In the franchise’s nearly 20-year history, God of War has evolved Kratos’ design significantly. The original PS2 and PS3-era titles typically depicted Kratos in nothing but a kilt embroidered with Greek patterns, and gauntlets that his Blades of Chaos were bound to. With the 2018 game, Santa Monica Studio was able to age and flesh out Kratos’ design, the character now sporting a grown-out beard, and a series of practical armor pieces like a shoulder pauldron that wraps around his torso....

The Kratos and the God of War franchise began its journey back in 2005 on the PlayStation 2. Spanning over more than a decade with multiple installments of the Greek Saga, Kratos rose from a demigod to a rageful Spartan Warrior to finally the God of War. With the latest 2018 iteration titled God of War, director Cory Barlog and Sony Santa Monica Studio decided to tell a new tale, set centuries later, in a new realm, drastically redefining and reforming the franchise and the character of Kratos....

However, this companion system is largely expanded in God of War Ragnarok, with players stepping into more shoes than just Kratos and having more companions than just Atreus.

RELATED: Every God of War Game, Ranked What many players might not realize though is that once the main story of God of War Ragnarok is over, they’ll have a chance to find the real Tyr for themselves. What’s more, doing so will lead to him appearing across all of the game’s realms, allowing players to enjoy some unique lines of dialogue with Kratos’ Norse counterpart. How to Find the Real Tyr in Every Realm in God of War Ragnarok How to Find Tyr in Niflheim After completing the main story, players will be able to find the real Tyr in the Aesir Prison Wreckage area of Niflheim as part of the Broken Prison favor, which becomes available when players visit the Raven Tree after completing the game....

Though it has many names, God of War Ragnarok mostly refers to the World Tree as Yggdrasil, which comes straight from ancient Norse mythology. Roughly translating to “Odin’s Horse,” Yggdrasil has several purposes in the mythological universe, with its most important being its place as a gateway between the Nine Realms. While Yggdrasil plays a large role in God of War Ragnarok, it barely scratches the surface of the tree’s mythological roots....

The Leviathan Axe deals frost damage and was introduced as Kratos’s preferred weapon in God of War and is also present in God of War Ragnarok. However, Kratos uses another well-known armament, one he’s been using since his time in ancient Greece. These are the Blades of Chaos, a pair of chained blades that inflict massive burn damage. Many hardcore God of War fans prefer the Blades of Chaos over the Leviathan Axe, and some of them have made a fantastic replica....

The biggest gripe about these characters thus far is that God of War Ragnarok’s NPC companions backseat the player constantly. Besides this drawback, companions are great to have around for players to learn more about Norse lore related to characters present or the realms they are exploring together. Atreus’ time spent in Asgard is particularly interesting for this reason, through which players are able to learn more about the Asgardians present....

She took the first set in only 30 minutes, unsettling second-seeded Goerges with the same aggressive return game and mixture of strokes which had flummoxed her earlier opponents....
