Fans are getting ready for the big game in spain too. The womens game there has seen an explosion in popularity, with the number of women players in federated leagues increasing by almost 200 from 2009 to 2022. Heres one of them. Translation the way they are showing us they are breaking down barriers time and time again the collective Bargaining Agreement a few years ago, the professionalisation of womens football, all this, and also the way they represent the values of sport for me and i think for all of us is a complete inspiration.

alvin bragg, is moving toward a likely indictment. trump posted this yesterday on his truth social site calling for his supporters to take action. now illegal leaks from a corrupt and highly political manhattan district attorney s office indicate that, with no crime being able to be proven and based on an old and fully he debunked fairy tale, the far and away leading republican candidate and former president of the united states of america will be arrested on tuesday of next week. protest. take our nation back. this is an immense challenge for the media. many of whose members have longed for trump to be prosecuted. to be fair to an ex-president facing charges in a 6-year-old matter a this most people just don t consider that important. i m howard kurtz and this is mediabuzz. howard: it was just six days ago that donald trump had his lawyer make the tv rounds to defend him in stormy daniels case. in a lengthy clash with ari melbe, attorney joe tacopina said trump did not
