WSL talking points: the Tullis-Joyce furore and Neville’s nightmare return

Earring-gate prevents Estelle Cascarino from making her West Ham debut while City continue to lead the pack The sight of coaches issuing a tactical team talk while their goalkeeper receives medical treatment has become increasingly common in the WSL but it became particularly controversial after the 0-0 draw between Arsenal and Manchester United, especially when the visiting defender Dominique Janssen appeared to admit in an interview with Sky Sports that they had orchestrated it on purpose. Janssen said: “Phallon [Tullis-Joyce] went down for us to discuss tactical changes”, when asked about how United adapted to going down to 10 players. Marc Skinner later said that Tullis-Joyce had felt something and needed treatment, but Renée Slegers said perceived time-wasting was “frustrating for the players” and added: “There’s so many people investing so much to come and watch us, in the stadium, on TV. I think the product needs to be attractive and I think this is probably one of the areas that brings the entertainment down a little bit.” Tom Garry Match report: Arsenal 0-0 Manchester United Match report: Chelsea 5-0 West Ham Continue reading...

‘Hundreds more’ ICE agents due in Minnesota after killing of Renee Good – US politics live

‘Hundreds more’ ICE agents due in Minnesota after killing of Renee Good – US politics live

Kristi Noem says that more officers are being deployed amid protests in several cities The widespread outcry over Renee Good’s killing led to more protests on the weekend against ICE, in Minneapolis as well as New York, Austin, Seattle and LA. Minneapolis police said “tens of thousands of people” attended the march which was peaceful, said Mayor Jacob Frey. “Hundreds more” ICE agents are due to arrive in Minneapolis today after an officer shot dead a woman in her car last week. Renee Good’s killing has sparked protests across several cities. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said more officers were being deployed for their own protection. Fed chair Jerome Powell – who has been slammed by Trump for refusing to lower interest rates – announced Sunday he’s facing criminal investigation by federal prosecutors over renovations to Federal Reserve buildings. He’s made clear the “unprecedented” probe is driven by political motives. All eyes are on how the US might respond to Iran’s deadly crackdown on protesters, and whether it might mete out further military action, in addition to its strikes last year. Trump said on Sunday he was in contact with the opposition, and US officials might meet with Iranian counterparts. Trump is also threatening Cuba with withholding oil supplies from Venezuela, warning them to “make a deal, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE” in a Sunday post on Truth Social. “THERE WILL BE NO MORE OIL OR MONEY GOING TO CUBA - ZERO!” His threats to the traditional ally of Venezuela comea in the wake of the US kidnapping and removing Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro last week, while concerns also remain over the White House’s claims on Greenland.
