Poland started the day top of the section but barely threatened against a dominant Argentina, for whom Lionel Messi also missed a first-half penalty, and only progressed to a tie against holders France on goal differential thanks to Mexico’s 2-1 win against Saudi Arabia in the section’s other fixture. Group C winners Argentina will take on Australia in the last 16. Messi twice went close in the opening 10 minutes, setting the pattern for a first half dominated by Argentina....

Peru (3-6-2, 11 points) is four points out of fifth place in the South American qualifying standings, which would guarantee advancement to a World Cup play-in series against a team from another region. A narrow 1-0 loss in Bolivia on Sunday was a serious blow to the Peruvians’ qualifying hopes and a trip to Argentina’s Estadio Monumental will prove even more daunting. The reigning Copa America champion Argentina (6-0-4, 22 points) is unbeaten in 24 consecutive games since July 2019....

Bill Gates, a Republican member of Maricopa County’s Board of Supervisors representing District 3, spoke with CNN on Friday regarding the threats he and other county leaders have received as they’ve pushed back against lies and misinformation being spread about the last election. Arizona’s state Senate Republicans have been working with Florida-based Cyber Ninjas to conduct a widely panned audit of the state’s 2020 election results, driven by former President Donald Trump’s debunked allegations that President Joe Biden won there through fraud....

Ducey indicated in July that his cell phone is set to play “Hail to the Chief” when receiving a call from Trump or Pence. In a video of Ducey signing documents cementing Biden’s win on Monday, the song can be faintly heard before the governor is shown pulling a phone out of his coat pocket, putting it on his desk and slightly shaking his head. “I’ve got a relationship with the president and when there’s a need in Arizona, I talk to him directly,” Ducey said during a July 9 press conference....

However, in northern Arizona, “monsoonal moisture typically does not reach the region until the first week of July,” the NWS says. “Many different factors throughout the spring and early summer influence when exactly it begins each year. Much of the area receives 40 to 50 percent of it’s annual precipitation during monsoon season,” it adds. Due to the higher humidity level, the season can cause thunderstorms, heavy rain, lightning, hail, high winds, flash flooding, dust storms and extreme heat, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) says....

Biggs, who praised Fauci for helping slow the spread of coronavirus, said the long-term continuance of nationwide self-quarantines had put the U.S. economy at a standstill for far too long and could have a more significant impact if quarantines continue. “I mean, he has said he has not considered economic or societal or social fallout for his remedy for the epidemic. And if that’s the case, I think he gets some credit for where we stand today, but I think it’s time for him to move on,” Biggs said according to an AZCentral report....

MORE: Thomas to start in Week 17? | Seahawks dominate Lindley-led Cardinals Let’s all calm down. Following the Cardinals’ 32-0 preseason opening rout of the Texans, veteran wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald said it best: “It’s preseason, man. We’re just going out there and lining up. We’re not really game planning or doing anything special.” While Thomas was impressive playing the entire second half against Houston’s third stringers (or worse), Arizona’s other QBs were equally impressive against first and second stringers....

In nine seasons, Sendek led the Sun Devils to the NCAA Tournament twice. He had a meeting scheduled earlier Tuesday with Arizona State athletics director Ray Anderson and the expectation was he’d be informed of his release. Arizona State went 18-16 this season, which ended for the Sun Devils on Sunday with a 76-70 overtime loss to Richmond in the second round of the NIT.

Rogers, who has been a public proponent of Arizona’s multiple election audit efforts, took to Twitter Thursday to voice her opinion that, following updates from an election audit many believe to be without merit, if Arizona is to “get this right” a new election must take place. “I call for the Biden electors to be recalled to Arizona & a new election must be conducted. Arizona’s electors must not be awarded fraudulently…” she tweeted Thursday afternoon....

For years and years, defenders around Europe have had to bear the brunt of having given the Dutchman the space to shoot on his left foot. You’d think they’d know better by now. If a cold Bavarian Tuesday night was anything to go by, you’d say defenders don’t yet know better. Somehow, Robben still manages a way. Somehow, Robben still manages to get the ball on his left foot, manouevre it around, and somehow… There’s space for him to shoot with his left foot....

After a rocky fifth episode, Arknights shows its strengths once again in an action-packed episode that’s building to a grand finale, but where those strengths lie is a bit peculiar. It’s become apparent this late into the season that Prelude to Dawn isn’t a great action series, something that honestly should have been clear from the early episodes. Last week, Amiya had to get Misha to safety all while trying to convince her that they weren’t trying to lie to her or betray her by putting her in police custody....

An FBI spokesman told Newsweek: “The victims came to the FBI seeking help and an FBI Police officer provided assistance in calling the Washington Metropolitan Police....
