BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — An injury-time blast gave the United States a 1-0 win against Ecuador in one of the opening matches of the Under-20 World Cup on Saturday.After little inspiration from both teams in San Juan, left back Jonathan Gomez shot from the edge of the box one minute before the final whistle to beat goalkeeper Gilmar Napa. The other two teams in Group B, Slovakia and Fiji, played late Saturday. Until Gomez’s winner, the best opportunity was on the hour after an embarassing mistake by Ecuador’s Napa. His clearance hit his defender Christian Garcia in the face. The ball fell to American striker Diego Luna, who shot wide despite the empty goal.Ecuador, the team of teenage sensation striker Kendry Paez, did not produce a single shot on target.The first goal of the tournament came from New Zealand, for which Norman Garbett scored the only goal in the 80th minute to beat Guatemala in a Group A game.Later Saturday, host Argentina faced Asian champion Uzbeki...

Clark: Default on nation’s debt would be ‘devastating’ to American families

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 06:09:43 GMT

A default of the nation’s debt would be “devastating to American families” and congressional Republicans’ “extortion” during negotiations is “outrageous behavior,” Democratic Whip Katherine Clark said Saturday during a rally in Boston.“When Democrats are in the minority, when we are in the majority, we meet the debts of this country because we understand this is not something that you take the economy hostage for,” Clark said. “That’s why we joined with Republicans, even though we have disagreed with their policies, to raise the debt ceiling three times under Donald Trump.”Clark was in Massachusetts just as the Biden administration is racing to reach a deal with Republicans led by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to raise the nation’s borrowing limit, now at $31 trillion, so the government can keep paying the nation’s bills.Republicans are demanding steep spending cuts the Democrats oppose.Clark, a Massachusetts Democrat, said Republicans have “decided to take our country and our ...

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 06:09:43 GMT

A wry grin appeared on Jayson Tatum’s face as he sat at the podium inside TD Garden in the early hours of Saturday morning.His Celtics had just lost a second consecutive game to the underdog but fearless Heat, putting them in a 2-0 series deficit in the Eastern Conference Finals. Tatum didn’t seem upset or frustrated by the situation. “I mean, it’s no point in being up here sad and (expletive),” Tatum said. And when he was asked if the Celtics are capable of winning four of their next five games to save their season and advance to the NBA Finals, he expressed confidence.“Yeah,” he responded with a smile, before standing up and walking off the stage.History is certainly not on the Celtics’ side as they try to overcome this 2-0 hole.In 339 tries, only 27 teams in NBA history have overcome a 2-0 deficit in a best-of-seven series. Of those 27 teams, only five of them – the 1969 Lakers, 1994 Rockets, 2005 Mavericks, 2017 Celtics and 2021 Clippers – won a seven-game series after los...
