Moor, Marshall meet again in MLS Cup Impact owner Joey Saputo confirmed Switzerland international Blerim Dzemaili will be joining the Eastern Conference finalist on a designated player in June 2017 in media conference Friday. Dzemaili is currently on loan from Galatasaray to Serie A outfit Bologna FC, where he has started 14 of 15 games this season. “I’m not hiding it: Dzemaili’s contract is a multi-year deal. He’ll be in Bologna until June 2017, and he will then be transferred to Montreal,” Saputo said....

Which U.S. prospects will play in WC 2026? In the since-deleted post, Lefevre is pointing a gun with the caption: “Since Donald is in power, better safe than sorry.” The Impact reacted swiftly to the post, announcing Lefevre had been suspended “pending further consideration of the matter.” Lefevre, 27, is in his fifth season with Montreal, and has made two appearances in 2017 so far. 

The future of Turkish football, Hakan Calhanoglu, and its present, Arda Turan, had failed to light up the European stage, unable to prevent a 1-0 defeat to Croatia and a 3-0 drubbing at the hands of reining European champions Spain. Turkey’s last hope was to defeat the Czech Republic. From there, it would be fingers crossed. The 2008 semi-finalists returned to the European Championship finals this month hoping to build on the momentum of a late return to form in qualifying that secured their place in France....

The 25-year-old Spain international has played bit-part roles at former clubs Real Madrid and Juventus, with his previous highest number of league starts being 16 at Serie A champions Juve in the 2015-16 season. He is already up to 18 at Chelsea and, after a positive start, his form has dipped alarmingly - Morata has not scored in six games in all competitions. The player’s frustration was evident on Wednesday against Norwich City in the FA Cup as he received two quickfire yellow cards, the first for alleged simulation and the second for protesting the decision....

The Department of Labor released its latest report Thursday morning on the number of new jobless claims filed last week, showing that an additional 4.4 million workers submitted new claims. That brings the five-week total from the economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic to 26.4 million, or more than all the jobs created since the Great Recession of 2008 and 2009. To put that number in perspective, 26.4 million people is larger than the number of people that live in the country’s 10 biggest cities combined....

In the poll, conducted by Gallup, 52 percent of Americans said they’re in favor of convicting Trump, while 45 percent say they’re in favor of their senators voting against conviction. In comparison, a Gallup poll conducted before Trump’s first Senate impeachment trial found 46 percent of Americans saying they were in favor of conviction while 51 percent said the opposite. The Gallup poll surveyed 906 U.S. adults from January 21 to February 2 and reported a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points....

In yesterday’s New York Times the op-ed page printed letters from readers reacting to the story. Some excerpts: Citing the reporting done by “a platoon of Times reporters” the Wall Street Journal published this commentary in which it took issue with the Times’ statistical approach: Your article about veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars who have committed or been charged with murder perpetuates the myth about crazed war veterans....

Labissiere announced two weeks ago that he would be playing for Reach Your Dream Prep, a Memphis-based team created and coached by his guardian Gerald Hamilton. The top prospect is still enrolled for academics at Lausanne Collegiate School, but the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association denied his transfer waiver and ruled him ineligible to participate in athletics. While the TSSAA recognizes many examples of high school athletes who are homeschooled and then try out and play for a TSSAA-member school, the organization has never had an instance where a student enrolled in a member school elects to play for a non-member organization....

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Ingram “will miss about a month” after suffering a hand injury in Week 2’s Sunday road loss at Cleveland. Ingram has been the most impressive running back heading their backfield committee with 24 carries for 143 yards and three touchdowns through three games. The 2011 first-round pick has shown the best Heisman Trophy and Alabama pedigree of his short career so far. The Saints are fortunate to lean on the combination of Khiry Robinson and Pierre Thomas with Ingram out, but it does take away an early positive development....

The Great Barrington Declaration, which is named after the town in Massachusetts that it was signed in, currently has signatures from 10,233 medical and public health scientists, 27,860 medical practitioners and 504,875 concerned citizens. The number of signatures the declaration has received is an increase from October 7, when it had signatures from at least 2,826 medical and public health scientists, 3,794 medical practitioners and more than 60,000 members of the general public....

The deadly coronavirus, which was first identified in Wuhan, China, has claimed the lives of at least 361 people in China, with 153 cases confirmed across 23 countries outside China, according to the latest report by the World Health Organization. Last week, the virus was officially declared a global public health emergency by WHO, with nearly 17,400 cases confirmed globally so far. The ship’s 2,666 guests and 1,045 staff members are undergoing medical checks by local health officials who are examining their temperature and medical condition, Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare confirmed in a statement....

More than 7 out of 10 employers, or 71 percent, reported that they are struggling to adapt to remote work, according to a new survey from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) released Monday. SHRM surveyed 2,278 human resources professionals between April 1 and April 7. The industries that are having the most difficulty moving to this work model are professional, scientific and technical services. More than 80 percent of these employers cited moving to a digital work environment as a challenge....

Ayoub El Kaabi and Salaheddine Saidi netted to seal the win for the hosts in the quarter-final fixture at Stade Mohamed V, Casablanca. It was Morocco all the way from the blast of the referee’s whistle, although Namibia had their fair share of chances, but the Atlas Lions had more. Achraf Bencharki had the first chance at goal with a wide shot, before captain Badr Benoun saw his header tipped away by goalkeeper Loyd Kazapua....

Marcus Morris said the twins felt betrayed by the organization after he and his brother worked out a cumulative deal with the franchise back in 2014 with the understanding the two were a package. The brothers lived together and even share the same bank account.

Contemporary Russia has not got nearly the credit it deserves for ethnic peace and tolerance. Given the extraordinary psychological and economic disruptions caused by the Soviet collapse, many expected an explosion of mass chauvinism. It didn’t happen. For the most part, the former republics have all been able to develop their national identities largely without interference from Moscow. Only in Chechnya has national conflict erupted. Thanks to the war–and the dominant role of Chechens and other Caucasians in organized crime–there is widespread prejudice against Caucasians in Russia....

A USA Today/IPSOS poll conducted March 10-11 found that 76 percent of Americans supported a temporary stop to immigration from high-risk countries affected by the virus at the time, such China, South Korea, Iran, and Italy. One month later, the same poll conducted from April 9-10 found that 79 percent of Americans surveyed said they supported a temporary stop to all immigration, not just from high-risk countries. Those figures contrast with surveys that captured Americans’ attitudes during other parts of Trump’s presidency—before Covid-19 deaths and restrictions were part of the national psyche....

A new poll by Survey Money for Axios, which was carried out from August 31 to September 6 and was published Thursday, shows that 91 percent of Americans say they feel “safe” in their communities. Just over half (51 percent) said they feel “very safe,” while an additional 40 percent said they feel “somewhat safe.” Only 7 percent of respondents said they do not feel safe in their communities. The survey has a margin of error of just plus or minus 1 percentage point, and polled more than 35,000 U....
