Ada Hegerberg does not start Norway’s critical match against Switzerland at Women’s World Cup

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:07:05 GMT

HAMILTON, New Zealand (AP) — Norway striker and former Ballon d’Or winner Ada Hegerberg was seen walking back into the tunnel moments before her country’s Women’s World Cup match against Switzerland on Tuesday, despite being named to the starting lineup.Initially listed as a possible substitute for the match, Sophie Roman Haug started in Hegerberg’s place as Norway’s striker. The team’s official Twitter account quoted national team doctor Trygve Hunemo saying that “Ada Hegerberg got a feeling in the groin on the last sprint during the warm-up.”Last year’s European Championship marked Hegerberg’s return to international soccer after previously not appearing for Norway in five years. Following the 2017 European Championship, Hegerberg left the team in protest of the unequal treatment of the men’s and women’s squads by the Norwegian federation.Hegerberg has the most goals of any current Norwegian player (16) and has appeared for her country 32 times.___AP Women’s Worl...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:07:05 GMT

SYDNEY (AP) — Colombia won its opening match of the Women’s World Cup 2-0 over South Korea as Las Cafeteras head coach Nelson Abadía served the first of a two-game suspension. Colombia’s manager since 2017, Abadía received a red card at the end of the 2022 Copa América Femenina final for arguing with a match official. A spokesman for CONMEBOL, the governing body for South America’s international tournaments, did not provide any other details about the incident.The red card was equivalent to a two-game suspension, which meant Colombia’s first two games in Group H at the global tournament. Abadía will also miss the game against Group H favorite Germany on Sunday.“He’s kind of like the dad of the team,” Colombian midfielder Elexa Bahr said. “But I don’t think it affected us at all. We all came to win the first game and that’s what we did.”Angelo Marsiglia is filling in for Abadía. “He was always there to provide us with the best conditions,” Colombian forward Linda Caicedo...

Australians confident in squad depth despite Sam Kerr’s injury at Women’s World Cup

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:07:05 GMT

Brisbane, Australia (AP) — Having the Women’s World Cup on home soil has given Australia’s team the confidence it can contend for the title even without star striker Sam Kerr on the field.The Chelsea forward and Australian captain missed the Matildas’ opening game last week because of a calf muscle injury that will also keep her sidelined for Thursday’s Group B game against Nigeria. And perhaps longer than that.The Matildas are pitching it as a chance to show the depth of their squad.“I think we could play any one of us right now in the starting 11 and it would be the same as what we do on the training pitch,” midfielder Tameka Yallop said from Australia’s team camp in Brisbane. “So I think everyone has that ability and capability to step up and be a star at any point.”Steph Catley, wearing the captain’s armband in place of Kerr, converted a penalty kick for co-host Australia’s 1-0 opening win over Ireland. Despite the win, the Matildas’ offense struggl...

FedEx pilots reject 30% pay hike proposal, but a strike isn’t imminent

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:07:05 GMT

New York (CNN) — Pilots for FedEx have rejected a tentative labor deal. But that doesn’t mean they’re about to walk off the job just as UPS is threatened with its own strike by 340,000 drivers and other hourly ground workers.The FedEx pilots who belong to the Air Line Pilots Association voted 57% against the proposed contract, which was reached in May and endorsed by union leadership. The proposed contract would have provided for a 30% pay increase, as well as a 30% improvement in pension benefit. Major objections from the rank-and-file are not yet clear.But even with the “no” vote, the 5,200 FedEx pilots won’t be able to go on strike any time soon. They work under a different labor law than most private sector employees, who are allowed to go on strike when their contracts expire, as is the case with the Teamsters at UPS, who could be on strike as soon as August 1.FedEx pilots are covered by the Railway Labor Act, which despite the name, covers both rail workers and airline employe...
