A 2-0 victory over Hungary sent Germany through to the round of 16, and they got there pretty comfortably. Shaqiri was actually a surprise selection for Switzerland’s second Euro 2024 game against Scotland on Wednesday. Albania, just like against Italy, were ahead and could have pulled off the greatest result in their footballing history.

Portugal’s blushes were spared as they came from behind to earn victory over the Czech Republic in their opening match at Euro 2024. AdvertisementInstead, it was the Czech Republic who took the lead — with yet another strike from outside the box. They dominated the ball and Czech Republic were happy enough with that, but Portugal never really clicked, despite deploying an admirable fluid system. Martinez’s side also had eight corners in the first half but the steely Czech Republic held firm, frustrating their opponents.

Manchester City are the 2023-24 Premier League champions — the first time in 135 years of top-flight football that a club has won the English league title four seasons in a row. At 15:59, the situation was simple: Arsenal needed to win, and required City to drop points against West Ham. After West Ham pulled one back, and Arsenal levelled at Everton, it was extremely nervy at the Etihad until Rodri made it 3-1. (Catherine Ivill – AMA/Getty Images)Another City goal pierced the atmosphere in the second half, until the late match winner supplied by Kai Havertz. Rodri’s game-sealing curled finish had shades of his winner against Inter in the Champions League final.

The Department of Justice on Monday announced criminal charges against two people and the guilty plea of a third person for orchestrating a $1.9 billion cryptocurrency Ponzi fraud scheme known as HyperFund, among other names. Lee, a 35-year-old also known as Xue Lee, is charged with a single count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and wire fraud. Chunga, who also is known as Bitcoin Beautee, pled guilty Monday to one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and wire fraud, for which she faces the same possible maximum sentence. Chunga separately agreed to settle civil charges by the SEC for violating the anti-fraud and registration provisions of U.S. securities laws. The SEC complaint says she received more than $3.7 million from both the HyperFund platform and from investors.

“This is an extremely undemocratic way to harm access to reproductive health care," said Sofia Tomov, operations coordinator with Access Reproductive Care Southeast, a member of the Mississippi Abortion Access Coalition. The proposal comes days after a Missouri abortion-rights campaign launched its ballot measure effort aiming to enshrine abortion rights into the state constitution. Missouri abortion rights groups also have criticized Republican Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, saying he is attempting to impede the initiative by manipulating the measure's ballot summary. Ohio abortion rights advocates have said last year’s statewide vote to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution was as much about abortion as it was a referendum on democracy itself. After Ohio voters approved the abortion protections last year, Republican lawmakers pledged to block the amendment from reversing the state's restrictions.
