Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

🔮 ZURICH (AP) — The United States will host the inaugural FIFA Women’s Club World Cup in 2028, soccer’s governing body said Thursday.
🔮 While China’s routines lack the difficulty of the U.S.‘s on floor, it avoided any major miscues that would have allowed the Americans to maintain their spot atop the sport.
🔮 But in this case, pretty much the message was this: If you guys can’t figure it out, we will help you figure it out.
🔮 But that didn’t translate to many wins, and the team’s lack of progress early this season means another coach will work with Washington at Maryland — if the Terps can keep him.
🔮 Lander, who was endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, defeated U.S. Rep. Dan Goldman in a primary for New York’s 10th congressional district.
🔮 Harbaugh and players are expected to address the situation after practice this afternoon.
🔮 “If we don’t win a championship while I’m here, I’m sure that will be a frontline story of it all and how people think of me and how a fanbase reacts,” Boone said.
🔮 This individual’s actions did not reflect those values or meet our standards and will not be tolerated.
🔮 The FSB's allegations could not be independently verified.
🔮 Milan said that it would push for a league-wide cap on excessive away ticket prices but, in the meantime, could hit back at clubs it feels are overcharging its fans. “We are also prepared to introduce a policy of reciprocity: clubs charging our supporters above average ticket pricing should expect their own fans to face higher prices when visiting San Siro, subject to applicable regulations,” Milan said.
