BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — The president of the Spanish soccer federation faces an emergency meeting of its general assembly on Friday amid media reports that he will hand in his resignation following an uproar for kissing a Women’s World Cup champion.Luis Rubiales is expected to stand before representatives of Spain’s regional federations, clubs, players, coaches and referees in Madrid at noon local time and local media say he is stepping down.The federation has refused to comment on repeated requests from The Associated Press for confirmation of Rubiales’ decision to go that was reported late Thursday.Rubiales, 46, is under immense pressure to leave his post since he grabbed player Jenni Hermoso and kissed her on the lips without her consent during the awards ceremony following Spain’s 1-0 victory over England on Sunday in Sydney, Australia.FIFA, soccer’s global governing body and organizer of the Women’s World Cup, opened a disciplinary case against him on Thursday.

These supplies will be used to reinforce the humanitarian response in the eastern part of the country, where the already dire situation continues to deteriorate.

It isn’t only super rich soccer stars who are heading East – so too is some of Britain’s best entrepreneurial talent.That is according to new research which reveals the full extent of the “brain drain” from the UK.This time, though, it is not sporting talent that is heading to the Middle East but, rather, some of the country’s best business brains.Record numbers of businessmen - and women – are waving goodbye to Blighty and heading to Dubai.A combination of soaring inflation and the growing real tax burden, mounting to its highest since WWII, with a higher proportion of adults paying significant income tax rates due to the government's decision to freeze tax thresholds, is thought to be behind the exodus.Some fear a looming prospect of further taxes as the Labour party is expected to win the next general election in 2024 enacting new tax policies targeted at the affluent.On the other hand the UAE, particularly Dubai, has seen a spike in British expatriates.The combination of the ris...Commission approves €800 million Czech scheme to support companies facing increased energy costs in the context of Russia's war against Ukraine

SAN JOSE – Longtime Westmont coach Mark Kaanapu found his next dual-threat quarterback on Thursday night. And all he had to do was look in the secondary. After playing as a safety for his junior year, Mason Pound began his senior season under center. His stat-line? 80 rushing yards, 42 yards passing, two touchdown and a 23-7 victory at Del Mar. “When you’re going against an offense like that, you’re not going to get many possessions,” Pound said. “And it’s just a different game, since we’re rivals and we know people on that team.”On the other side, Del Mar’s senior quarterback Andre Latimore carried the Dons, rushing for 231 of his team’s 312 yards and scoring one rushing TD. It was almost twice as many as Westmont’s leading rusher Spencer Hoang, who himself ran for 121 yards and a TD, caught four passes for 38 yards and hauled in Pound’s TD pass.“Andre is a stud, and he carries and leads this team,” Del Mar coach Robert Chapman said. “We’ve got a lot of work to do, but I’m pr...Oakland: Two arrested in connection with fatal shooting
