It was Morocco's first World Cup win since 1998 — and its third-ever at the tournament. Less spoken about is that they also rate better on television than the men do in the World Cup. We’ll just have to wait and see, though with the US, Canada and Mexico hosting the 2026 World Cup, soccer isn’t going away anytime soon.

Al Bayt Stadium, Al Khor, Qatar CNN —It may have only been a goalless draw but Friday’s result at Qatar 2022 spoke volumes as to where this US Men’s National Team (USMNT) is going. Facing an England team full of superstars that reached the European Championship final last year is no easy task, but the Americans looked more than at home. But any annoyance shouldn’t last too long with the USMNT still unbeaten against England at World Cups. Christian Pulisic saw his effort crash off the crossbar as England struggled to cope with the American’s intensity. It felt reminiscent of the USMNT’s previous match against Wales when it started in brilliant form.

Prisoners were used for farming, mining or logging in sparsely populated areas of the country or worked in sweatshop conditions. It can often take weeks for prisoners to arrive at the prisons on prison trucks and specially designed train carriages called Stolypins.

Declarația aparține președintelui Federației Ruse, Vladimir Putin, care a comentat, în cadrul unui interviu, acuzațiile privind implicarea sa în otrăvirea opozantului rus, Alexei Navalny, scrie Novaya Gazeta. Potrivit autorilor unei anchete comune a The Insider, Bellingcat, CNN, Der Spiegel și a asociaților lui Navalny, un grup de ofițeri FSB l-au urmărit pe Navalny și ar putea fi implicat în otrăvirea opozantului rus. Potrivit Novaya Gazeta, nu a fost deschis vreun dosar penal cu privire la otrăvirea lui Navalny și atentatul la viața sa în Rusia. La 2 februarie, Curtea Districtuală Simonovsky din Moscova a schimbat pedeapsa cu suspendare în cazul opozantului Alexei Navalny cu una reală în dosarul „Yves Rocher”. Fraților li s-a imputat că ar fi tras pe sfoară compania de cosmetice Yves Rocher și o întreprindere de procesare ca intermediar în furnizarea serviciilor de logistică.
