Nigeria’s focus will turn from finances to football for its Women’s World Cup opener against Canada

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:33:55 GMT

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — All the focus on Randy Waldrum’s criticism of the Nigerian soccer federation and the rebuke he received in return will count for very little Friday when the Super Falcons open their Women’s World Cup campaign against Canada.“I think the players have appreciated the fact that I will step up for them and speak out on their behalf,” Waldrum said of his comments about the federation’s financial support for his team. “As a coach, I need to be a voice for the girls and fight for the things that they deserve to be getting.”Ever since the Super Falcons touched down in Australia this month, though, the mindset of Waldrum and his team has shifted from pay and conditions to the task at hand.“Forget about the distractions, and just focus on the game,” star striker Asisat Oshoala, who plays for Barcelona, said after a training session in Brisbane this week.It’s a sentiment Waldrum, who coaches the University of Pittsburgh women’s soccer team, fully supports...

What is the best electric car to take on a road trip?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:33:55 GMT

Summer is a great time for a road trip. But if your ride is an electric vehicle, it will take some careful planning.Whether you’re driving a Tesla Model 3 or a Nissan Leaf, John Vincent, senior automotive correspondent at U.S. News and World Report, said the road trip requires preplanning charging stops.“You don’t want to get yourself stuck and unfortunately, with EVs, there isn’t a gas station right around every corner. There are a lot of tools out there that will map your routes, with charging stations along the way. A few caveats to that, though — you have to look at the weather because if the weather is cold, you’re not going to have the range that you typically get,” Vincent said.EV drivers also must map a route with a second charging station in range of the station where they’re planning to recharge, in case the first charger isn’t working.“If you’re taking a road trip in an EV, you probably have your car pretty well ...
