Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:25:48 GMT

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar are leading their Saudi Arabian clubs into the second matchday of the Asian Champions League in starkly different form.Ronaldo is the Saudi Pro League’s top scorer with 10 goals for Al-Nassr. Neymar has yet to find the net for Al-Hilal.Hilal coach Jorge Jesus dismissed concerns about the Brazilian, who missed a penalty in a 2-0 win over Al-Shabab on Friday. Neymar has played in four games since joining from Paris Saint-Germain.“He has made the team stronger and has contributed a lot and in the future he will become even better,” Jesus said. “We are now looking forward to the next game.”That comes in the Asian Champions League on Monday.Hilal, a four-time continental champion, can’t afford many more dropped points after a surprise 1-1 draw with Navbahor of Uzbekistan in the opening Group D game in September.Neymar narrowly missed a red card in that game and now heads to Iran to take on Nassaji Mazandaran at the Azadi Stadiu...

Rahm says Koepka criticism was over something that wouldn’t register on ‘Jon anger’ scale

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:25:48 GMT

GUIDONIA MONTECELIO, Italy (AP) — Brooks Koepka could have used a board to pound Saturday in the Ryder Cup. Jon Rahm didn’t need one, and he doesn’t know what caused all the fuss.Koepka kept everyone guessing — about the incident, not his blunt nature — when he accused the Masters champion of pouting after their fourballs match Friday afternoon, which Rahm ended with a 35-foot eagle putt.“I mean, I want to hit a board and pout just like Jon Rahm did,” Koepka said in the television interview. “But you know, it is what it is. Act like a child. But we’re adults. We move on.”Rahm filled in the details, or what he could make of it, after he put up another point for Europe in Saturday foursomes.“I mean, I’m not going to stand here and say I’m a perfect example on what to do on a golf course. I don’t think either of us two are,” Rahm said as he sat next to Tyrrell Hatton, another player known for expressing his feelings for all to see. “But I play and compete.”The moment to whi...

Soccer notebook: After off-year, BC High boys make noise

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:25:48 GMT

Last fall was unforgettable for the Catholic Conference soccer world. By season’s end, two of the league’s schools were represented in the Div. 1 Final Four, with St. John’s Prep capturing the championship.Yet, a usual contender was missing from the fold, at least for one campaign.2022 was considered a rebuilding year for BC High’s program, after consistently competing for south sectional titles and Eastern Mass. crowns over the past decade. Now, Eagles coach Billy Ryan is optimistic his group can take a substantial step forward.“That was the youngest team we’ve ever fielded at BC High under my soccer tenure since I’ve been over there, about 30 years,” said Ryan. “Very young team last year, but I think they overachieved at the end, and we got knocked out in the Round of 16 in overtime to Weymouth. But we have eight returners. Eight starters came back this year with a lot of motivation.”Some would argue that BC High is already well into a resurgence. However, with each great win come...

Field hockey notebook: Healthy Larkee leads Norwood girls

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:25:48 GMT

Not a single day passed last season in which sophomore forward Shea Larkee didn’t do exactly everything right to help the Norwood field hockey team.But as her young, 6-9-3 teammates couldn’t generate a goal for the eighth time that year in a 1-0 Div. 2 state tournament first-round loss to Canton, she couldn’t help but wonder what she could’ve done if she weren’t watching from the sidelines.Larkee had just won team MVP as a freshman. But even though she was off the crutches, her surgically-repaired right knee wasn’t cleared yet from an anterior cruciate ligament tear she suffered in gymnastics.She was at every meeting, workout, practice or game, but Norwood missed its best forward for the entire season. Nobody was more hurt by it than her, even though she tried to focus on the positives.“Obviously it was tough, especially at the beginning,” Larkee said. “I would be watching key plays and (thinking) I could be helping out right now in this game. But on the brighter side, watching it f...

MBTA asks for more time to complete corrective actions, cites track work, personnel shift

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:25:48 GMT

The MBTA petitioned federal transit regulators Friday for more time to complete a list of corrective actions — including an agency-wide staffing analysis — they are taking in the wake of an investigation into the Massachusetts agency that was prompted by a string of safety failures.In a letter obtained by the Herald, a top MBTA official cited track “safety actions” and a personnel shift announced last week that divided the agency into four different divisions as the reason for needing an extension for some plans they submitted to the Federal Transit Agency.“As you will see, there are some broad but relatively minor shifts requested across specific action items in many of the [corrective action plans] for whom our stakeholders have had to focus on [right of way] safety policies and procedures in the immediate short term, preventing us from progressing on other [corrective action plan] actions,” MBTA Chief of Quality, Compliance, and Oversight Meredith Sandberg wrote in a letter to th...
