DUNEDIN, New Zealand (AP) — The Netherlands scored four times in a torrid 15-minute first-half stretch, overwhelming Vietnam 7-0 in the Women’s World Cup on Tuesday and sealing first place in Group E. The Dutch went into the match in second place on goal differential behind the United States. But the blowout win combined with the Americans’ 0-0 draw with Portugal made the Netherlands the group winner. The U.S. advanced in second place. The Netherlands dominated almost from the start. Lieke Martens chipped a shot into the net in the eighth minute over 5-foot-4 Vietnam goalkeeper Tran Thi Kim Thanh to get the scoring started. Then the rout was on, as goals from three other Dutch players quickly followed.Esmee Brugts scored one in the flurry on a curling ball from outside the penalty area in the 18th minute, then got another from nearly the same spot in the second half. Jill Roord also scored two. Vietnam changed goalkeepers at halftime, substituting Khong Thi Hang in for Tran Thi Kim ...

“Ningún lugar donde esconderse”: la pregunta que inquieta a las tropas ucranianas en su demoledora contraofensiva

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:50:11 GMT

(CNN) — Las cuatro carreteras de Staromayorske parecen casi reducidas a polvo en las imágenes del dron. Es un pueblo diminuto, pero como último logro de la renovada contraofensiva de Ucrania en dirección a Mariúpol, el simbolismo de Staromayorske supera con creces su tamaño.Su destino representa un problema mayor para Ucrania a medida que avanza. Después de las amargas batallas de los avances de Ucrania, apenas queda en pie un muro desde el cual las fuerzas de Kyiv puedan defender el territorio recuperado, lo que hace que su progreso ganado con tanto esfuerzo sea vulnerable a la artillería contundente de Rusia.Esto es exactamente lo que sucedió este lunes, cuando se dijo que los bombardeos persistentes habían golpeado las ruinas del pueblo. En un momento, los funcionarios rusos incluso afirmaron haber expulsado a las fuerzas ucranianas de la aldea, lo que Ucrania negó rotundamente.Para las tropas que lucharon por Staromayorske, una mezcla de las fuerzas de defensa territorial ...

Ursula von der Leyen’s going on vacation. Who’s she leaving in charge of the EU?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:50:11 GMT

BRUSSELS — It’s officially August, which means the last Eurocrats are heading out of town to their favorite summer retreats, and most of Brussels is “out of office.”But a few commissioners have the questionable honor of being on the summer roster, staying behind as the person on duty should an emergency arise. Former Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker introduced the system in 2017 to show that the EU never sleeps, and his successor Ursula von der Leyen continued it. A rota is set up at the start of each five-year Commission term and covers all holiday periods, with each commissioner holding down the fort for 13 days. Von der Leyen and top EU diplomat Josep Borrell are exempt.The official job description for the commissioners on duty recalls the theme of “Designated Survivor.” The assigned commissioner will be in charge if there’s an unexpected crisis and will maintain the “continuity of the Commission’s core tasks,” a Commission spokesperson said, adding that thes...

Chicago Cubs get a boost with addition of third baseman Jeimer Candelario from Washington Nationals: ‘I don’t really want to put a ceiling or limits on this group’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:50:11 GMT

The Chicago Cubs front office believes in this team’s potential.That’s the message they sent to the players and staff with their first move ahead of Tuesday’s 5 p.m. trade deadline, acquiring infielder Jeimer Candelario and a cash consideration from the Washington Nationals. In return, the Cubs sent two prospects, left-handed pitcher DJ Herz and infielder Kevin Made, to Washington in the deal before Monday’s 6-5 loss to the Cincinnati Reds.The Cubs have two months to make the most of Candelario’s return to Chicago, where he spent the first two seasons of his big-league career. He reunites with his fellow World Series championship teammates Kyle Hendricks and now manager David Ross. Ian Happ played with Candelario at Triple-A Iowa in 2017, and their call-ups to the Cubs that season were within four days of each other.“I’m excited to have him back and a part of this group and hit right in the middle of our lineup, it’ll be great,” ...

Robbins: Security tapes spell trouble for ‘the boss,’ will voters care?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:50:11 GMT

The only thing worse than a conspiracy to obstruct justice is a conspiracy to obstruct justice committed by criminals who aren’t very good at it.If the allegations in the superseding indictment handed down by a federal jury against former President Trump last week are accurate, he was at the center of a conspiracy to obstruct justice comprised of The Gang That Couldn’t Shoot Straight.After the FBI observed surveillance cameras located at Mar-a-Lago near where Trump was illegally retaining the classified documents he had illegally pilfered, the Justice Department notified Team Trump that it was subpoenaing the surveillance footage from those cameras. Trump’s lawyers informed Trump in New Jersey, who promptly summoned loyal aide and co-defendant Walt Nauta for a meeting. Nauta immediately made arrangements to fly to Mar-a-Lago, texting a colleague that he was returning there on a “family emergency,” using a “shushing” emoji.No joke.Trump’s property manager at Mar-a-Lago, one newly ind...
