Four people were arrested&nbsp;following the incident, the London police said in a statement. Four people sustained injuries during the attack and were taken to a hospital. The London police in its statement stated that some of the fans were wearing England hats and scarves but are suspected to be German fans.

"While a number of the group were wearing England hats and scarves, it is believed they were German 'fans'," the police statement read.

"The group entered the beer garden of the pub and began assaulting customers, most of whom were in the area to attend the England vs Germany match. Punches and projectiles including traffic cones were thrown.

"Officers responded and the group fled. The disorder lasted for around two minutes. None of those injured are believed to be in a life-threatening condition," it added.

It was an entertaining contest between England and Germany at Wembley as Gareth Southgate's men eased some pressure on the head coach by making a great comeback after going 2-0 down in the second half.

Luke Shaw pulled one back for England in the 71st minute before Mason Mount equalised for the hosts four minutes later. Harry Kane then converted from the spot to put England in lead 3-1 in the 83rd minute. However,. a late strike from Kai Havertz saw Germany make it 3-3 at the end.

Suspected German 'fans' attack customers in a London pub ahead of England clash at Wembley - WATCH

Irfan Pathan had a meteoric rise in international cricket after making his debut for the Indian team in 2003. At a time when India were in desperate need of quality fast bowlers, Irfan's emergence came as a breath of fresh air as he made batters dance to his tunes with his pace and swing.

Pathan made his debut for India in a Test against Australia in Adelaide in 2003 and soon went on to become one of the key members of the Indian pace attack across formats. He also developed his batting skills and was looked at as a proper all-rounder.

He was part of India's 2007 T20 World Cup-winning team under MS Dhoni in 2007 but couldn't make the cut for the ODI World Cup in 2011 which India won after defeating Sri Lanka in the final. Pathan's dwindling form and fitness issues&nbsp;saw him lose his spot in the Indian squad after 2012 as his downfall began.

A fan took to Twitter to blame MS Dhoni and the former Indian team management for Pathan's short international career. The all-rounder noticed the tweet and came up with a classy response to the fan which won the hearts of many on Twitter.

Fan blames MS Dhoni for Irfan Pathan's short career, former India all-rounder's response wins hearts

Part one of the healing process is complete for Italy. Looking to regain respect after failing to qualify for a second straight World Cup, the Azzurri advanced to next year's finals tournament in the Nations League by winning at Hungary 2-0 thanks to goals by Giacomo Raspadori and Federico Dimarco on Monday.

By topping a group also containing England and Germany, the Italians joined the Netherlands and Croatia in qualifying for the final four, which will be hosted by the Dutch in June. Portugal or Spain will complete the lineup when they face off on Tuesday.

Unlike Italy, England and Germany will be going to the World Cup in Qatar in less than two months and they'll head to the Middle East on the back of a wild 3-3 draw at Wembley Stadium, where all the goals were scored in the second half.

Trailing 2-0, England scored three goals in a 12-minute span from the 71st through Luke Shaw, Mason Mount and Harry Kane's penalty only for Kai Havertz to pounce on a fumble by England goalkeeper Nick Pope to equalize in the 87th.

England's winless run stretched to six games, with Gareth Southgate's team finishing its Nations League campaign without a victory and relegated. Germany isn't in much better shape ahead of the World Cup, with just one win in its last seven games.

Italy won Group A3 with 11 points, one more than Hungary, which went into the game in Budapest needing only a draw to reach the Nations League final four for the first time. 
 
The Italians are finding it easier to qualify for Nations League finals than World Cups. They also got to the 2021 tournament, losing to Spain in the semifinals on home soil in their first few months as the reigning European champion.

Plenty has changed in the team since beating England in the European Championship final at Wembley last year, not least up front where Raspadori is making his mark.

Three days after scoring the winner against England in Milan, the Napoli striker put Italy ahead after Adam Nagy's back-pass came up short. Wilfried Gnonto challenged goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi for the ball, which bounced free and Raspadori was alert to round Gulacsi and convert his finish in the 27th.

Gianluigi Donnarumma produced a string of diving stops,&nbsp;including a triple save in a matter of seconds, before Nicol&nbsp;Barella played a ball through at the other end to Bryan Cristante, who crossed for Dimarco to score from close range for his first goal for Italy.

Late pressure from Hungary failed to yield a goal. "We were excellent for 70 minutes, the last 20 I didn't like too much,"&nbsp;Italy coach Roberto Mancini said.

"We're happy, it's important to have reached the Nations League final four for the second time."

Under pressure for his starting place in England's team, Harry Maguire didn't help his cause against Germany. 
The Manchester United center back was at fault for Germany's 52nd-minute opener from the spot by Ilkay Gundogan.&nbsp;

Maguire initially gave the ball away to Jamal Musiala, then clumsily fouled the teenager in the area moments later and was then dispossessed in midfield to allow the Germans to break, culminating in a curling finish from the edge of the area by Havertz.

Maguire has lost his starting spot at United but Southgate has retained his faith in the defender, who typically plays better for his country than his club. It was a tough night all around for England's center backs, with John Stones forced off with a suspected hamstring injury.

England did well to fight back, with Kane's penalty taking him to 51 goals for England, two off Wayne Rooney's national record, but yet another mistake proved costly.

Pope, filling in for the injured Jordan Pickford, spilled Serge Gnabry's weak shot and Havertz was on hand to tap in from close range.

"A couple of errors have cost us the goals,"&nbsp;Southgate said. "But I'll focus on the fact they played with tremendous spirit and showed a belief that we haven't shown in the last few games."

There was a well-observed period of silence before kickoff as a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, who died this month.

Nations League: England draw 3-3 against Germany in high-scoring thriller, Italy beat Hungary to enter semis

Nepal police have sought the help of Interpol to find the country's fugitive cricket star Sandeep Lamichhane. The suspended Nepal cricket team captain was accused of rape by a 17-year-old following which a Nepal court issued an arrest warrant against him earlier this month.

However, Lamichhane has failed to return back home for the investigation and has remained silent about his whereabouts so far. He was playing in the Caribbean Premier League when the arrest warrant was issued against him. The suspended Nepal cricket team skipper took to social media to announce he had decided to pull out of the tournament and will return home soon.

However, Lamichhane has failed to return home in time which has led the Nepal police to seek Interpol's help in locating him. The leg-spinner is said to have remained in the Caribbean after pulling out of the tournament. After the Nepal police's request, Interpol issued a 'diffusion' notice against the fugitive cricketer on Sunday urging member nations to help in locating him.

"We hope this will help the arrest of Lamichhane for the investigation of a rape complaint case against him," Nepal&nbsp;police spokesperson Tek Prasad Rai was quoted as saying by AFP.

On Sunday, Lamichhane had taken to Facebook to voe that he will soon return to Nepal in order to fight the allegations levelled against him. Explaining the delay in his return back home, the 22-year-old had said he is in isolation following the arrest warrant which took a toll on him physically and mentally.

Lamichhane rose to fame in 2018 when he became Nepal's first cricketer to bag a contract in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He was roped in by Delhi Capitals and spent two seasons with the team before being released. He has since been a T20 globetrotter and continues to ply his trade in different franchise leagues across the world.

Mohammed Shami ruled out of T20I series against South Africa, Shreyas Iyer set to replace Deepak Hooda

Bhuvneshwar Kumar's form has been a major concern for the Indian team heading into the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia next month. The senior fast bowler has struggled in the death overs and has failed to get his line and length right under pressure more often than not in the last few matches.

However, Australia legend Matthew Hayden has played down the suggestions of Bhuvneshwar being out of form and said the Indian pacer just looks tired at present. The former Aussie opener believes the fast bowler will be fine after he is given a break during India's upcoming home series against South Africa.

Bhuvneshwar has been playing continuous cricket for a while now and had led the Indian pace attack in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel in the Asia Cup 2022. He also featured in the recently-concluded T20I series against Australia where his death bowling woes continued.

While he has bowled well with the new ball, he has not been at his best in the death overs for a while now. After being taken&nbsp;for runs in the death overs in the games against Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup, Bhuvneshwar ended up conceding 39 runs in just three overs in the 3rd T20I between India and Australia on Sunday.

"I think he looks tired and fast bowlers are allowed to get tired. We have seen Virat Kohli's example, he has had a couple of breaks. That can make all the difference. If a fast bowler is tired, it means that his energy is not there in the ball. I am sure he will be fine. You have got Bumrah back now, I think that combination is going to be key," Hayden said on Star Sports&nbsp;during the series-decider between India and Australia.

Bhuvneshwar was rested from the playing XI in the second T20I against Australia in Nagpur but was brought back into the XI for the decider in Hyderabad on Sunday. He managed to pick up a solitary wicket of in-form Cameron Green in the 5th over but was later taken to the cleaners in the death.

Bhuvneshwar is part of India's 15-man squad for the T20 World Cup along with the likes of Bumrah, Harshal and Arshdeep Singh. He will have to play a key role if India are to fancy their chances in the World Cup down under.

Novak Djokovic said he was bothered by a wrist problem during the Laver Cup in London and that his lengthy absence from the Tour recently could be to blame.

The three-day tournament in London's O2 Arena was Djokovic's first event since the Serb won his 21st Grand Slam singles title at Wimbledon in early July.

The 35-year-old, who missed the North American hardcourt swing and the U.S. Open due to not being vaccinated against COVID-19, produced a dazzling performance on his return to the Tour on Saturday by winning his singles and doubles matches.

However, he lost to Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime on the final day of competition on Sunday.

"I have been struggling with my right wrist for the last four, five days, to be honest. I have been keeping it under control," Djokovic told reporters.

"The two matches yesterday probably had an effect. Today was not easy. I couldn't serve as fast or as accurately as I would like to. That has affected the whole game."

Djokovic said qualifying for November's ATP Finals in Turin remained his goal and that he will play a tournament in Tel Aviv this week followed by an event in Kazakhstan next week and then the Paris Masters at the end of October.

His Wimbledon victory guarantees him a spot in the Tour-ending Finals if he remains ranked in the world's top 20.

Indian women's cricket team star Taniya Bhatia has claimed she was robbed during her recent stay at the Marriot Hotel in London's North Maida Vale as part of the Indian team's recently-concluded tour of England. The Indian women's team was in England for a three-match T20I series followed by as many ODIs.

The tour concluded on Saturday with India defeating the hosts by 16 runs at the Lord's Cricket Ground in London.&nbsp;A 'shocked and disappointed' Bhatia claimed someone walked into her personal room at the hotel and stole her bag containing cash, cards, watches and jewellery.

She took to Twitter to lash out at the England Cricket Board (ECB) for the lack of security at the team hotel. Bhatiya, who was part of India's squad for the ODI and T20I series against England, urged the ECB to intervene in the matter and take action against the culprit.

Indian cricketer Taniya Bhatia claims she was robbed at team hotel in London, slams ECB for lack of security

England women's cricket team captain Heather Knight on Monday accused India all-rounder Deepti Sharma of lying to justify her controversial run-out of Charlotte Dean in the third ODI between the two sides on Saturday. Deepti had run Dean out at the non-striker's end during England's run-chase to seal a 16-run victory for India in the game and help them whitewash the hosts 3-0 in the ODI series.

Controversy erupted during the third ODI at the Lord's Cricket Ground when Deepti ran Dean out for backing up a bit too far on the non-striker's end. In the 44th over of England's run-chase, Dean was caught way out of the crease by Deepti, who dislodged the bails midway through her bowling stride to seal India's victory.

Her controversial run-out has since led to a massive debate in the cricket fraternity with a host of English cricketers criticising Deepti and the Indian women's team for not upholding the 'spirit of the game' despite the dismissal being within the ICC rules. The India all-rounder had recently opened up on the run-out and said Dean was warned about stepping too far away from the crease&nbsp;before she was dismissed.

While there has been a huge outcry over the dismissal from the English cricket fraternity, Deepti has been lauded by Indian fans and former cricketers for her decision to dismiss Dean at the non-striker's end. The mode of dismissal which was earlier referred to as 'Mankading' will now be deemed as a legitimate run-out.

It was moved from the 'Unfair play section' in the rule books to the run-out section after ICC recently announced changes to playing conditions in international cricket.

We did things as per the rules and guidelines. We told the umpires as well, but she was there [outside the crease]. We couldn't do much," Deepti told reporters after landing in Kolkata on Monday.

Knight took to Twitter to claim no warnings were given to Dean before the dismissal and that India shouldn't feel the need to justify it. “The game is over, Charlie was dismissed legitimately. India were deserved winners of the match and the series. But no warnings were given. They don’t need to be given, so it hasn’t made the dismissal any less legitimate,” Knight wrote in a tweet. “But if they’re comfortable with the decision to affect the run out, India shouldn’t feel the need to justify it by lying about warnings,” she added. 1/2 The game is over, Charlie was dismissed legitimately.

The mode of dismissal which was earlier referred to as 'Mankading' will now be deemed as a legitimate run-out.

India don't need to justify by lying about warning: Heather Knight on Deepti Sharma's run out controversy

Brazil's iconic yellow football jersey is a symbol of pride, passion and victory for the country. It is arguably one of the most recognised sporting jerseys in the world and is loved by football fans across the globe. For Brazilians, the yellow jersey is 'sacred' and unites them over their love for football.

The yellow shirt has been synonymous with Brazil's incredible success on the football pitch. It reminds fans of the likes of Pele, Romario, Zico and Ronaldinhio among others - some of the greatest to have graced the football pitch. However, the jersey is no more wanted by many in the country, who believe it has been tainted after its adoption by the right-wing supporters of president&nbsp;Jair Bolsonaro.

Known as the 'canarinho jersey', the iconic yellow football shirt was worn by millions of Bolsonaro supporters during political campaigns before the elections in the country in 2018, forcing many fans to give up on it.

The jersey's close association with the Brazilian president has not gone down well with many football supporters, who believe the shirt is now being misrepresented and being misused to spread a 'political agenda'.

“Football is something iconic for Brazil, it is what brings everybody together most of the time,” 25-year-old&nbsp;&nbsp;Isabela Guedes told&nbsp;Al Jazeera.

“When they (right-wing supporters)&nbsp;take something so meaningful for the country and use it with political intentions, it is like they are stealing it from us. I don’t feel comfortable hanging a flag on my window during the World Cup because I will be mistaken for people with completely different political views.

They have taken the flag and yellow jersey and turned them into political symbols," she explained.

Fans, who disagree with the ideologies of president Bolsonaro and his right-wing supporters, avoid wearing the jersey they once used to love unconditionally as they believe it now represents a political ideology different to theirs. Some have even joined calls for the complete abolishment of the iconic yellow shirt.

Brazil's national football team didn't always have the yellow-green stripes as their team shirt and it was designed in 1953, three years after the country's heartbreak at the hands of Uruguay at the World Cup final at Maracana in Rio de Janerio in 1950.

Brazil used to wear the white and blue jersey&nbsp;at the time, which was deemed 'unlucky' after their World Cup loss at home against Uruguay. In 1953, the Brazil football federation launched a design competition along with a newspaper, Correio da Manha, to find a new design for Brazil's new national kit.

The competition was won by 18-year-old Aldyr Garcia Schlee out of more than 300 entries. Garcia, who was left heartbroken after Brazil's final defeat against Uruguay, had designed a yellow shirt with green and yellow hoops along with blue shorts.

The jersey was finally adopted by the national team in the same year and would go on to become a symbol of joy and glamour that's associated with Brazilian football. Brazil won a record five World Cups with a host of legends producing magic on the football pitch wearing the iconic jersey.

However, analysts believe the joyous moments of Brazilin football are now being used to promote a particular political ideology, in contrast to the unity and the love that the jersey and the nation stand for.&nbsp;

Brazilian writer and filmmaker Joao Carlos Assumpcao led a campaign a couple of years ago, demanding the national football body abolish the yellow jersey and go back to wearing the white and blue kit. Several pro-democratic groups have also made attempts to disassociate the yellow shirt with&nbsp;Bolsonaro's political ideas and his supporters.

Despite the outrage and the angst against the use of the famous yellow shirt&nbsp;to promote political ideologies, Brazil are&nbsp;expected to continue playing in the Canarinho jersey at the upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Why football fans in Brazil are ditching the iconic yellow jersey ahead of FIFA World Cup

Rafael Nadal was seen in tears alongside his great rival and friend Roger Federer after the Swiss legend's farewell match at the Laver Cup in London on Saturday. There were emotional scenes at the O2 Arena as Federer took the court for one last time before drawing curtains on his legendary career.

Nadal paired up with Federer for Team Europe in the 20-time Grand Slam champion's last game of his career. The Spaniard has now revealed he himself was close to retirement earlier this year and thought French Open would be his last tournament.

The 36-year-old has enjoyed a brilliant season so far having won two Grand Slam titles in 2022. Nadal won the Australian Open at the start of the year before clinching the French Open title after defeating Casper Ruud in the final.&nbsp; He left behind both Federer and Novak Djokovic to take the top spot among male players with the highest number of Grand Slam singles titles in their careers.

However, Nadal revealed he was contemplating a decision about his career during the French Open due to injuries. He has had an injury-laden season and had to pull out of the semi-final at Wimbledon earlier this year due to an abdominal injury.

“I don't know, I'm not at that moment yet. I was close to that time this year. I'm not going to lie to you. During Roland Garros I thought that it might be my last tournament, this is the reality. Although from then on everything went very bad physically, I broke my abdominal twice, at Wimbledon and in New York," Nadal told Spanish&nbsp;outlet AS.

However, Nadal is not thinking about retirement anymore and is focused on recovering well from his current injuries to return strongly. He remained tight-lipped on where he will be seen in action next but the 22-time Grand Slam champion confirmed he is not going anywhere anytime soon.

"It has been an accumulation of important misfortunes, added to all these personal things. But I'm not in that moment and I don't want to think about that moment. Today, what I want is to get back to normality, for everything to go well with my personal life, which is the top priority, and then organise my life in the right way. Have peace of mind in my personal and professional life,” he explained.
