NFL kicker and soccer player Josh Lambo announces retirement from both sports

NFL kicker and soccer player Josh Lambo announces retirement from both sports/in /by

Josh Lambo isn’t the first name sports fans think of when they hear “two-sport athlete,” but he is among the small fraternity of athletes who have played in two American pro leagues, and now he’s hanging up the cleats.

Lambo, who was an NFL kicker and also a goalkeeper in Major League Soccer, announced on social media today that he will no longer play either sport.

“Today, I officially retire from pro sports. 4 years in MLS and 7 in the NFL have led me to things I could only dream of, and now I want to help others accomplish their goals as I become a speaker and author. Thank you to the fans that supported me and the teammates I worked with,” Lambo wrote.

Lambo was a first-round draft pick of the MLS in 2008, when he was only 17 years old, and played pro soccer until he was 2012, when he decided to give football a try and went to Texas A&M. In 2015 he signed as an undrafted rookie with the Chargers, spent two years with them, then played for the Jaguars from 2017 to 2021.

His departure from the Jaguars in 2021 may be how he’s best remembered in the NFL: His accusation that Jaguars coach Urban Meyer walked up to him on the practice field, said, “Hey, dipshit, make your fucking kicks,” and then kicked him in the leg, proved to be the last straw before Meyer’s firing in his first year as an NFL coach.

After Meyer cut Lambo in Jacksonville, he had a very brief stint on the Steelers’ practice squad, then he played one game for the Titans in 2022. Now he walks away after a unique athletic career.

What to watch for in WPIAL sports on March 17, 2023: Penn Hills to meet Cathedral Prep

What to watch for in WPIAL sports on March 17, 2023: Penn Hills to meet Cathedral Prep/in /by

Cathedral Prep once owned the WPIAL and City League in the PIAA boys basketball playoffs.

In a four-year span from 2012-15, the Ramblers were a combined 8-1 against Districts 7 and 8 teams with the only loss coming in the 2013 Class 4A quarterfinals to New Castle, 80-70. However, Cathedral Prep has come back to Earth and is 1-2 against WPIAL teams in the state playoffs since.

On Friday, the District 10 champion squares off with the WPIAL champion when Cathedral Prep (23-3) faces Penn Hills (23-3) at Sharon at 7 p.m.

This is the fourth time the Ramblers and Indians have met in the PIAA basketball postseason. Penn Hills has won twice, beating Cathedral Prep in the 1987 first round, 65-64, and knocking out the Ramblers in the 1999 opening round, 52-48.

The lone Ramblers victory was in a 1994 semifinals game as they plowed the Indians, 62-43.

Recent Cathedral Prep vs. WPIAL matchups include a 52-50 overtime victory against New Castle in the 2021 PIAA bracket that had only district champions. In 2017, the Ramblers’ season ended with a 72-61 loss to Mars. In 2018, they lost to Trinity, 45-42.

The other 5A quarterfinal game on the “western” side of the bracket has WPIAL runner-up Peters Township (24-4) facing District 3 champion Exeter Township at Bald Eagle at 6 p.m.

Home cooking

The Road to Hershey has become the road hardly traveled for WPIAL 4A boys champion Lincoln Park.

The Leopards were home in the first round against WPIAL No. 7 seed South Allegheny and won, 80-63.

In the second round, Lincoln Park met WPIAL No. 4 seed Highlands at North Allegheny and prevailed, 84-72.

Now Lincoln Park (27-1) heads east … to Norwin to battle the WPIAL No. 3 seed Laurel Highlands (24-3) at 7:30 p.m..

These powers met back over the holidays in the Central Valley Holiday Tournament with the Leopards edging the Mustangs, 70-66.

In the other quarterfinal on the western half of the bracket, Uniontown (22-5) will challenge North Catholic.

Four-game sweep?

Carlynton (19-7) has had a fantastic boys basketball season, winning 19 games, reaching the WPIAL final four and now participating in the PIAA sweet 16.

However, the one puzzle the Cougars have not been able to solve is WPIAL champion Union (24-3).

Carlynton has lost seven games, three of them to Union.

The Scotties swept the two regular season Section 1-A games, winning two dandies by scores of 62-60 and 57-54.

When the teams battled in the district semifinals, it wasn’t as close as Union won big, 80-58.

Meeting No. 4 comes Friday at North Allegheny at 7:30 p.m.

It will be the nightcap of a Class A state doubleheader at North Allegheny.

In the first game, it’s WPIAL champ vs District 10 winner when Imani Christian (20-6) takes on Farrell (22-4) at 6 p.m.

Looking to even the score

After Upper St. Clair earned the top seed in the 6A playoffs by winning Section 2 outright and putting together an impressive resume, the debate began about who should be No. 2.

North Allegheny (22-5) and Norwin (23-4) had tied for the section crown and split their two regular season meetings with each winning at home.

Norwin won by 21 points in early January while North Allegheny prevailed by seven points in late January. Using the “what have you done for me lately” tiebreaker, the Tigers were No. 2 and the Knights No. 3.

The rubber game came in the WPIAL semifinals when North Allegheny came back to edge Norwin at Fox Chapel in a defensive struggle, 38-36. NA would later beat Upper St. Clair to win the district title.

Now Norwin looks to even the score as they two collide again at Fox Chapel on Friday at 7:30 p.m. with a berth in the PIAA semifinals up for grabs.

District 7 runner-up Upper St. Clair (23-3) remains alive after two state playoffs win and will mess with perfection on Friday. The Panthers battle District 3 champion Cedar Cliff (28-0) at Altoona at 6 p.m.

Strange turn

Four WPIAL 3A girls basketball teams survived the first round of the PIAA playoffs and advanced to the second round Tuesday.

Two of them were winners and two saw their seasons end.

However, the interesting twist was the two WPIAL finalists, Avonworth and Laurel, came up short.

In fact, the two teams Avonworth beat in the quarterfinals and semifinals are now advancing to the third round of the state playoffs.

Our Lady of the Sacred Heart (21-7) will face District 6 runner-up Westmont-Hilltop (27-2) at 6 p.m. in the first game of a 3A girls doubleheader at Armstrong.

The second game pits Shady Side Academy (25-3) against District 6 champion River Valley (27-2) at 7:30 p.m.

Only two

After two rounds of the PIAA postseason, the WPIAL only has two Class 2A girls basketball teams alive and that will be sliced to one after they go head to head.

Greensburg Central Catholic (23-5) will challenge WPIAL champion Shenango (24-4) at Fox Chapel at 6 p.m.

The winner will face the Kennedy Catholic/Bishop McCort winner in the semifinals Monday.

3A state splashing

Friday marks the first of two days for Class 3A swimmers and divers in the 2023 PIAA championships at Bucknell University.

Friday will consist of six preliminary races starting at 8:10 a.m. for the 3A girls and 10:45 a.m. for the 3A boys.

The consolations and finals in those events will take place at 3:25 p.m. for the girls and 6:05 p.m. for the boys.

The girls 3A diving championships are scheduled for 12:35 p.m.

Germany cancels World Cup event after Russia, Belarus readmitted

Germany cancels World Cup event after Russia, Belarus readmitted/in /by

Germany’s fencing federation has canceled a women’s foil World Cup event after the sport’s global governing body (FIE) reversed a ban on athletes from Russia and its ally Belarus, it said on Thursday.

Athletes from the two countries were banned from many international competitions after Russia invaded Ukraine last February in what Moscow calls a “special military operation.”

More than 60% of nations voted to allow Russians and Belarusians to resume competing in FIE events at last week’s extraordinary congress.

German federation (DFB) President Claudia Bokel, a team epee silver medallist at the 2004 Olympics, said the decision had triggered “heated discussions.”

“Our solidarity goes to the people of Ukraine who are suffering from the war of aggression,” Bokel said. “The German Fencing Federation accepts last Friday’s decision.

“We now want to give a clear signal that we would have liked a different result and that we still see a large number of open implementation questions from the world federation, which make it impossible to carry out the tournament.”

Women’s World Cup prize money still one-third of men’s after 300% increase

Women’s World Cup prize money still one-third of men’s after 300% increase/in /by

The total prize money for this summer’s Women’s World Cup will jump to more than $150 million — a figure that’s still far below the $440 million men received for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Why it matters: The increased pool, announced by FIFA on Thursday, is more than three times higher than the 2019 women’s tournament and 10 times higher than the 2015 tournament.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino said the organization’s “ambition” is to have full parity between men’s and women’s prize money for the 2026 and 2027 World Cups.
Zoom in: The $150 million fund from FIFA will go toward prize money for teams, team preparation and payments to club benefits, ESPN reports.

Some of the prize money should be used to pay players, Infantino said.
“Women deserve much, much more than that and we are there to fight for them and with them,” he said.
Infantino also encouraged broadcasters to pay more for the rights to air the upcoming Women’s World Cup.
Between the lines: Pay disparity between men and women in soccer has been an ongoing issue in recent years. The United States, Canada, France and Spain have all campaigned for equal pay with the men’s soccer teams.

The U.S. women’s national soccer team settled a gender-based pay discrimination lawsuit with the US Soccer Federation for $24 million in February 2022.
The federation announced last May that it will ensure equal pay for all competitions through collective bargaining agreements with both teams.
Under the agreement, the FIFA prize money from the men’s and women’s World Cup matches will be pooled and then divided equally between the members of both teams.

The 6 biggest Classic storylines left to follow

The 6 biggest Classic storylines left to follow/in /by

After Japan’s 9-3 victory on Thursday, joining Cuba in the World Baseball Classic semifinals, the tournament now has only six teams left.

On Friday night Mexico will play Puerto Rico in Miami for the right to play Japan on Monday, and then on Saturday the United States will square off against Venezuela (also in Miami) with the winner facing Cuba on Sunday.

Watch the World Baseball Classic live on FOX, FS1, FOX Deportes
Long story short: This thing is coming down to the wire now. It only gets more fun from here.

So, to reset before the weekend’s action, here’s a look at the major storyline for each of the six teams remaining.

Puerto Rico: Can they recover from the devastating Díaz injury?
Up until the moment Edwin Díaz collapsed underneath several of his celebrating countrymen, Puerto Rico had to think that maybe this was their year. After two consecutive second-place finishes in the WBC, the team this year had thrown a perfect game, knocked out the vaunted Dominican Republic team and set up a fascinating matchup with Mexico for the right to go to the semifinals. It was noteworthy how well manager Yadier Molina, a man long thought to be managerial material but doing this for the first time, had set up his bullpen and roster; it was all going exactly to plan. And then Díaz went down. That’s obviously going to be a problem for the Mets, but it’s a problem for Puerto Rico too, and not just because the team is now down its closer. How does a team rebound emotionally from such whiplash? They have roughly 40 hours to figure it out.

Mexico: Is Randy Arozarena on another one of his heaters?
Randy Arozarena has established himself as an impressive MLB regular with the Rays — he did win the AL Rookie of the Year award a couple of years ago, after all — but he’ll forever be known for his 2020 postseason, when he basically turned into Babe Ruth and carried the Rays into the World Series. It sure looks like he’s back at it again in the WBC. He is tied with Japan’s Masataka Yoshida for most RBIs in the tournament (9), and is only three RBIs behind the all-time record of 12, held by Wladimir Balentien (2017 Classic). He’s already become a clear folk hero in Mexico, and a trip to the semifinals could elevate him to legendary status. There may be nothing scarier than Arozarena in a short series.

Australian shreds record for longest surf session

Australian shreds record for longest surf session/in /by

An Australian man has broken the world record for the longest surfing session – clocking more than 40 hours in the process.

At the end, Blake Johnston was carried on the shoulders of friends up Cronulla beach in south Sydney, describing himself as “pretty cooked”.

Johnston began surfing early on Thursday morning in aid of mental health awareness.

His effort has raised some A$335,000 (£185,000; $225,000) for charity.

With spotlights to illuminate a section of Cronulla’s surf known as “The Alley”, Johnston kept going overnight and had ridden over 700 waves by the end.

The previous record of 30 hours and 11 minutes was held by South African Josh Enslin.

The 40-year-old Johnston, a former pro surfer and distance runner, faced the risk of blindness, infected ears and dehydration, as well as sleep deprivation, hypothermia, shark attack and jellyfish stings.

He emerged briefly from the sea at lunchtime on Friday for a medical check-up, and to receive eye-drops.

Johnston left the beach wearing a black cowboy hat while draped in a thermal blanket.

Extreme poverty leaves people in hunger, without housing or medical care, robbing them of dignity. Deprivation of opportunity has no place in a world with the resources and technology that so many enjoy in abundance. Since its inception nearly eight decades ago, the World Bank has played a transformational role in lifting living standards in every corner of the globe. But as we confront rising poverty and crisis after crisis — from pandemic to conflict to the ravages of a changing climate — the need for a high-performing bank is more urgent than ever.

The institution must now evolve to tackle challenges that its founders couldn’t imagine — in the keen understanding of how these priorities intersect. Climate change, pandemics and forced migration are eroding progress for the very people whom development efforts benefit. The tasks ahead of us are intertwined. Their scale means that no institution can do it alone.

We should seize this moment to convert these challenges into greater opportunities for the most vulnerable. Meeting ambitious climate goals doesn’t mean sacrificing development or inclusive economic growth. New technologies can help bypass the emissions-heavy pathways of the past — something I recently saw in Kenya, which generates the overwhelming majority of its energy from renewable sources.

Public-private partnerships and investments have enabled renewable energy to become cost efficient. We now need to invest in developing infrastructure, agricultural productivity, food security, and expanding shipping and trucking in a resilient and sustainable manner. We must particularly focus on unlocking the potential of young people, especially in the global south. They deserve economic opportunities and the resulting optimism to better their lives and their countries.

The World Bank can, and must, play a critical role as a force multiplier in coordinating global action. Its talented staff do vital, and often unsung, work every day. The scale of investments required for fighting inequality and climate change, and boosting productivity and growth, is in the many trillions of dollars each year. The bank should build on the recommendations of the G20 Capital Adequacy Framework to stretch every dollar it has. But working alone, it will fall short of what’s required. All multilateral development banks must work in tandem to maximise impact.

Still more will be required. The private sector, with its capital and innovation, will be key, as will the partnerships that need strengthening between governments, civil society and private enterprise. The bank can deploy technical knowledge, policy support and financing to serve as a catalyst for mobilising the private sector to help address these challenges.

Managing this will require skills that I believe my background has given me. In the private sector, I’ve led organisations spanning the globe with tens of thousands of employees and close engagement with the public sector. I’ve delivered on ambitious goals that required me to transform teams to meet the demands of a constantly-changing world. I’ve brought together government and business to secure over $4bn in commitments to invest in economic opportunities in Central America and advised an investment fund that channelled over $800mn into emerging green technologies, including in developing countries. I believe that is exactly what the World Bank needs at this critical moment in time.

Effectively leading the bank also requires a deep understanding of the challenges that countries and people face. Right now, I’m on a tour to meet with government officials, development experts, civil society organisations and entrepreneurs to hear their vision for the institution’s future. In Ivory Coast and Kenya, I had the privilege of hearing from those who have benefited from the World Bank’s work. Residents of Abidjan told me their lives have been transformed by an investment in expanding access to electricity. Young entrepreneurs in Nairobi showed me how they’re benefiting from expertise and financing to launch clean tech start-ups.

The opportunity to lead the World Bank would be the culmination of my life’s work. I grew up in India in a middle-class family. I received a good education and learnt the value of hard work. But too many people don’t get the opportunities I did. All of the world’s citizens deserve a chance to better their lives. We must offer people — and indeed countries — the opportunities they need to succeed, so that everyone can feel the hand of good fortune pushing them forward.

Slovakia to Provide Fighter Jets to Ukraine

Slovakia to Provide Fighter Jets to Ukraine/in /by

Slovakia Friday approved a plan to provide Ukraine with MiG fighter jets.

Slovakia is the second NATO country, following Poland, that has answered Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s many requests for the aircraft to help his country’s battle against the Russian invasion.

Slovakian Prime Minister Eduard Heger said his country is “on the right side of history” in providing the retired fleet of 13 MiG-29s to Ukraine.

Russian military and Wagner Group forces have recently gained footholds west of the Bakhmutka River in the town of Bakhmut, according to a British Defense Ministry intelligence update.

The river, the ministry said, had recently marked the front line of the battle in the fighting in the Donbas town of Bakhmut. Ukrainian forces continue to defend the western portion of the town, the report said.

Meanwhile, the report said, Russia is conducting some of its lowest rates of local offensive fighting since January.

“This is most likely because Russian forces have temporarily depleted their combat power to such an extent that even local offensive actions are not currently sustainable,” it said.

The Russians will likely increase their “offensive potential” once personnel and munitions stocks are replenished. Until then, the ministry said, Russian commanders “will likely be forced to choose between carrying out offensive operations and conducting a credible defense of the full line.”

China is hoping there will be a peaceful solution to the conflict in Ukraine and is urging Russia and Ukraine to come to the table for peace talks, China’s foreign minister told his Ukrainian counterpart in a telephone conversation Thursday.

China’s foreign ministry said in a statement that Qin Gang told Dmytro Kuleba that China “has committed itself to promoting peace and advancing negotiations and calls on the international community to create conditions for peace talks.”

Qin also said “China hopes that all parties will remain calm, rational and restrained,” according to the statement, as Russian’s invasion of Ukraine has recently passed its one-year anniversary.

China foreign minister in rare call with Ukraine counterpart

China foreign minister in rare call with Ukraine counterpart/in /by

In a rare phone conversation with his Ukrainian counterpart Thursday, China’s foreign minister says Beijing is concerned about the year-old grinding conflict with Russia spinning out of control and urged talks on a political solution with Moscow.

Qin Gang told Dmytro Kuleba that China has “always upheld an objective and fair stance on the Ukraine issue, has committed itself to promoting peace and advancing negotiations and calls on the international community to create conditions for peace talks,” China’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement posted on its website.

Kuleba later tweeted that he and Qin “discussed the significance of the principle of territorial integrity.”

“I underscored the importance of (Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s)’s Peace Formula for ending the aggression and restoring just peace in Ukraine,” wrote Kuleba, who spoke the same day with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

Hungary pressures EU by delaying Finland, Sweden NATO vote

Hungary pressures EU by delaying Finland, Sweden NATO vote/in /by

After Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Sweden and Finland dropped their longstanding military neutrality and quickly signaled their intentions to join NATO, in a striking sign of how powerful Europe’s security fears had become in the shadow of Moscow’s war.

But nearly a year after the Nordic countries officially applied to join the military alliance, their admission remains unresolved because two of the 30 NATO members — Turkey and Hungary — still haven’t approved their bids.

Although Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has repeatedly raised specific objections to the countries — especially Sweden — joining NATO, Hungary’s populist prime minister, Viktor Orban, has long signaled that his country’s support for expansion and has repeatedly promised its parliament would soon vote to ratify.

“We have already confirmed to both Finland and Sweden that Hungary supports” their NATO bids, Orban said at a meeting of Central European prime ministers last November. “The Swedes and the Finns have not lost a single minute of membership because of Hungary, and Hungary will certainly give them the support they need to join.”

But a succession of delays by Hungary’s government — and its shifting justifications in explaining them — have caused frustration and worry in Sweden, Finland and beyond, and raised questions over what Hungary hopes to achieve through them.

Daniel Hegedus, an analyst and fellow for Central Europe at the German Marshall Fund, a think tank that seeks to promote cooperation between North America and the European Union, said that at the heart of Hungary’s intransigence on NATO expansion is its desire to exert leverage on the EU, which has frozen billions in funds to Budapest over corruption and rule-of-law concerns.

Hungary’s hope, Hegedus said, “is that by playing with this postponement of the voting, they can push the Swedes and the Finns to support a potential release of the Hungarian funds in April, or at least make these countries not vocally critical.”
