United states is on to the Knockout Round. The game ended a few minutes ago. Man, by the skin of their teeth. They were inches away from their tournament being over in a flash. We knew, the u. S. Is twotime defending champions, and this is a historic run by this squad. Going into the tournament, we knew this was a bit of a transition year. Its sort of the last gasp, if you will, from some of the stalwarts weve gotten to know from the last couple runs. Theyre older now, and there is a young and Impressive Group of players coming through. At times, its been an uneasy mix. They, frankly, havent looked very good so far. They beat vietnam 30 when expectations were seven, eight, nine or more, then a pair of draws. It cant be said enough, if this is a couple inches to the left, they go home. Theyre fortunate to advance here. They have a couple days off. Hopefully they get things going in the right direction before the knockout stage. Twotime defending champions, the womens team are on to the
buying. i also asked him about tensions in the u.s./israel relationship. remember, willie, president biden urged the prime minister not to go ahead with this legislation without consensus. the prime minister pushed ahead anyway. the president has also been critical of netanyahu s decision to include far right politicians in his cabinet. netanyahu told us the relationship has its ups and downs, but it is mainly its ups. willie, one specific part of this interview is leading the news here in israel today, and that is this question of whether later this year the israeli supreme court might strike down this legislation, effectively ruling to preserve its own power, and whether or not netanyahu will abide by that ruling if it doesn t go his way. take a listen. if israel s supreme court strikes down your legislation, will you abide by their ruling? i think we have to follow two rules. one is the israeli government abides by the decisions of the supreme court.
