Nobody, though, thought that they would still be searching for Sammer’s successor over a year later - least of all Rummenigge. dabblebet: Back Bayern to win the CL! However, the sporting director role at the Allianz Arena has become the job that nobody seems to want, so when president Uli Hoeness stated on Monday that the position will be filled inside six weeks, there was understandable scepticism as to whether the German champions will finally get their man....

Although the Turin giants endured a few setbacks throughout the campaign, they proved to be too strong for their main rivals over the course of 2016-17, with Roma and Napoli left well behind. We take a look at some of the key reasons behind yet another Scudetto for Juventus.

Having won the toss, the Thunder choose to bat first on what seemed like a track very conducive to strokeplay. Even as Jacques Kallis departed early after painstakingly reaching the score of 13, Khawaja and Watson repaid the faith of the captain scoring at a brisk pace throughout their stay at the crease. Watson particularly looked in good touch, smashing 4 sixes en route his 43-ball-62. At 2-146 at the end of the 16th over, the Thunder looked set to score somewhere close to 200 by the end of the innings but some good death bowling by the Renegades coupled with the pitch slowing down somewhat meant that the Thunder could reach only 173 at the end of their allotted overs for the loss of 5 wickets....

As said before, Bayern dominated throughout the entire 60 minutes against a motivated but inferior U19 selection....

Despite the first two Bayonetta games being linear single-player action games, with numerous cutscenes sprinkled in between levels, it’s not immediately obvious who anyone is, or why they’re all fighting each other. It’s actually pretty easy to play through the entire series so far and not actually have understood more than a handful of story details. Though it’s pretty bizarre from the outset, the lore of Bayonetta’s world is pretty intriguing, and is certainly worth finding out about....
