Her pay has attracted criticism, however. At Future's past two shareholder meetings, it has faced significant rebellions over a bonus package which could net Byng-Thorne, already one of Britain's best paid chief executives, up to £40million.

England was guilty of sloppy passing in front of its own net that led to the equalizer. Lindsey Horan forced a turnover by Stanway and quickly passed ahead to Smith, pkvgames who calmly delivered her 10th goal of 2022.

Jay Bothroyd received a cap in 2010 while playing for Cardiff while David Nugent got one in 2007 while at Preston. But it will be a huge surprise when the day comes again that an outfield player from outside the top division gets selected for England at a major tournament. 

Sept 15 (Reuters) - Britain's antitrust watchdog said on Thursday it would launch an in-depth probe into Xbox maker Microsoft's $69-billion purchase of "Call of Duty" maker Activision Blizzard after the tech giant failed to offer remedies to soothe competition concerns.

People using Stadia will still to be able to access to their game libraries, including Pro games if you had an active Pro subscription as of Thursday. In an email sent to players, Google warned that publisher support for games may vary, and it's possible that your gameplay experience may be affected during the shut-down period (suggesting that some games could vanish or lose features early). 

Reuters previously reported that Microsoft would pay a $3 billion break-up fee if the deal falls through, according to a source familiar with the matter, suggesting the company was confident of winning antitrust approval.

Britain's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said earlier this month the takeover of the videogame publisher maker could hurt competition in gaming consoles, subscription services and cloud gaming if Microsoft refused to give competitors access to Activision's best-selling games.

'This is the funfair, exactly like you don't remember. With every game hooked up to innovative RFID wristband tech, and a bespoke app that logs gamers' scores, tracks leader boards and takes bragging rights to a whole new level.'

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. 

He scored his first against Scotland in May 1989, before adding two more in a friendly against the old Czechoslovakia, before scoring against Tunisia which ultimately convinced Bobby Robson to take a gamble on the Wolves star.
The likes of Kerry Dixon, Matt Le Tissier, Rod Wallace, David Hirst and Tony Cottee all achieved double figures in terms of goals in the top flight during the 1989-90 season -  though Bull who scored 27 in the old Second Division, was rewarded.

Explaining the move, Stadia vice president and general manager Phil Harrison noted Google's investments in gaming through its Google Play digital distribution service, its cloud tech and YouTube streaming.

We want to guarantee PlayStation gamers continue to have the highest quality gaming experience, and we appreciate the CMA´s focus on protecting gamers." (Reporting by Amna Karimi and Radhika Anilkumar in Bengaluru and Foo Yun Chee in Brussels; Editing by Vinay Dwivedi and Susan Fenton)

Davidson said the latest update showed the 'unjustifiable' fall in Future's shares was driven by market jitters, not the performance of the business, adding: 'The business has transformed from a publisher heavily reliant on print advertising to a multi-platform media business generating the largest proportion of its revenue from digital advertising.'
That tech will also be made available to Google's industry partners. Sony gave its own streaming service a headstart in 2015 by buying the patents of OnLive -- an early game streaming service -- shortly before the once-promising startup shut down.

was not at full strength with goal-scoring star Alex Morgan sidelined with a knee injury and Mallory Pugh out due to a family commitment. Meanwhile, England captain Leah Williamson was unavailable due to injury.

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. 

"A few years ago, we also launched a consumer gaming service, Stadia," he said in the blog post. "And while Stadia's approach to streaming games for consumers was built on a strong technology foundation, it hasn't gained the traction with users that we expected so we've made the difficult decision to begin winding down our Stadia streaming service."
