While Carlos Bocanegra and Jay DeMerit simply fade out of the picture, and with Steve Cherundolo announcing his retirement last week, the number of players Jurgen Klinsmann can call on with actual World Cup experience is shrinking by the week. Klinsmann is doing his part to shorten that list even more, as we learned after digesting the roster announced on Wednesday by Klinsmann for next week’s friendly against Mexico. Included were young newcomers DeAndre Yedlin and Luis Gil, who were in high school when Landon Donovan was vanquishing Algeria with his unforgettable goal at the 2010 World Cup....

An American squad with seven new starters from its previous 2-0 win over Jamaica logged what was arguably the worst U.S. performance in the Gregg Berhalter era on Sunday, failing to register a single shot on target in a 1-0 loss to Panama. Berhalter’s decision to heavily rotate the squad was met with criticism, but he made it clear that it was a gamble for which the payoff comes on Wednesday....

With England clear favorites in Group B, it’s a race for second between the other three sides. The Welsh, an experienced team with a number of players who have starred at international tournaments in the past — namely Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey — certainly have the pedigree to make it to the knockout stages. For a U.S. side brimming with youth, that could prove an especially challenging test....

The recipients of your message may not appreciate having their email addresses revealed to people they may not even know. The courteous thing to do is to use the BCC (blind carbon copy) option to send your message. When the BCC option is enabled, it shows up as an additional field where you can enter recipients’ email addresses....

The MODE function finds the single most frequently occurring value, or mode, in a list of numbers. MODE.MULT, on the other hand, tells you if there are multiple values, or multiple modes, that occur most frequently in a range of data. MODE.MULT Function Syntax and Arguments ​A function’s syntax refers to the layout of the function and includes the function’s name, brackets, and arguments. The syntax for the MODE.MULT function is:...

The first game to kick off Week 8 will be on Friday night between the Maulers (1-6) and Generals (6-1). New Jersey escaped with a 20-13 win over the Bandits last week, which helped them clinch a playoff berth. The best game of the week will take place Saturday afternoon between the Breakers (5-2) and Stallions (7-0). Both teams have something to play for, as Birmingham can clinch the South division title with a win against New Orleans....

Fans had to keep their devices, required to be smaller than seven inches, on vibrate or silent, and could only use them in four designated zones. And the worst offense of all? Using any live-streaming application like Periscope or Meerkat. It’s grounds for being kicked off the course and banned from the tournament.

That truth is maybe the worst aspect of fantasy football. Even a picture of health with a low probability of injury is always one play away from being in the trainer’s room. Is there anything fantasy owners can do to limit the damage? Aside from drafting (hopefully) capable backups, we can use the premium Draft Sharks’ Injury Predictor tool to identify the players most likely to get hurt. Many of the highest-risk players are easy calls (Dalvin Cook, Allen Robinson, George Kittle), but there might be others high on the list who surprise you....

A redundant array of independent disks (RAID) protects against the failure of a single drive and provides improved performance and fast transfer rates by storing data across multiple disks. RAID Features There are several RAID levels including RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 3, RAID 5, RAID 6, and RAID 10. Each RAID category possesses one or more of these features: Disk striping refers to dividing data into blocks and writing the blocks across several storage devices....

In all other aspects, it was darned close to disaster. If not for Turner’s alert positioning, lightning reflexes and unyielding confidence, the USMNT might have given up a touchdown instead of losing 2-0 to Japan in Dusseldorf, Germany. With Zack Steffen not called into camp because of an injury, Turner was the obvious choice to start this game. And he delivered a performance that ranked with the best of his young national team career....

As Honduras came to town for a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff (6:30 p.m. local time), the USMNT geared up an official kickoff temperature of 3 degrees Fahrenheit with a wind chill of around minus-10 to minus-15 degrees. While athletes can sometimes have more fortitude than the average Joe in cold conditions, these frigid temperatures are dangerous if skin is exposed, meaning all players were in long sleeves, not leaving any cold-weather gear on the sidelines....

Or maybe they’ve made Lloyd even better at the sport in which she already is a legend. “I actually feel better,” she told Sporting News, after the U.S. Women’s National team completed a 4-0 friendly victory Sunday night over Jamaica. “And I don’t think that, if it was played in 2020, a number of different things wouldn’t have happened. “My family wouldn’t have been a part of it. I wouldn’t have had knee surgery....

The W Championship tournament kicking off on July 4 doubles as North America’s qualification for both future competitions, with the winner earning an automatic place at the 2024 Paris Olympics and the semifinalists all earning automatic berths to the 2023 Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. Colombia, ranked 28th in the world, has never beaten the United States in 10 attempts (0W-9L-1D), including Saturday’s 3-0 loss in Colorado....

But these grifts are more prevalent in some areas of the country than others. Thousands of people report auto-related scams to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) each year, and Buyautoinsurance.com used that data to narrow down the top ten states with the lowest amount of scams. In order to determine the results, researchers pulled the latest data from the FTC, which encompassed all of 2021. They calculated the number of auto-related cases by state using the percentages and scam case numbers over the three-quarters of annual data provided by the FTC....

Both teams come into this game with wildly different situations. While the Nets were expected to steamroll through the league, the franchise has struggled to get wins in the last few games and currently sit on a record of 3-4. On the other hand, the Utah Jazz have gone from strength to strength and come into this game with a fair bit of momentum behind them. The franchise currently has the fourth-best record in a stacked western conference, at 4-2....

Police have been negligent or violent or both and lied about it for years, but this feels like a watershed moment in which the perception of the general public — shaped, among other things, by decades of positive portrayals in the media — is finally catching on to it. While standing outside Robb Elementary School for 45 minutes as parents berated them for their inaction, the police not only failed to save children and teachers, they physically blocked parents from entering the school building to evacuate their own children....

Huber has shared her story in collaboration with Mercy Clinic Women’s Health in Washington, Missouri, in hopes of spreading the word to other expecting mothers. She explained that she was looking for a way to protect her unborn child, and now it seems that vaccines are a “two-for-one” solution for mothers and babies. “I hope that seeing Nora and seeing how happy and healthy she is giving them a little bit of peace of mind to make that decision,” Huber said....

Squads With Alvaro Negredo not completely fit to start, Gary Neville put him on the bench with Spain international Paco Alcacer deployed up front. The visitors had the trio of Bale-Benzema-Cristiano (aka BBC) start the game in spite of earlier reports stating Benzema was a doubtful starter. James Rodriguez was benched (maybe after he got into trouble with the law?) while Mateo Kovacic started in midfield alongside Toni Kroos and Luka Modric....
