FIFA-Women World Cup: Goalkeepers trade skills

There have been standout performances by goalkeepers so far, with the Americans repeatedly frustrated by Sweden’s Zecira Musovic in the round of 16. The Chelsea keeper produced a string of saves and was voted player of the match as the U.S dominated but couldn’t find a breakthrough in the game that ended 0-0 through extra time.
Netherlands keeper Daphne van Domselaar was player of the match as the Dutch advanced to the quarterfinals by beating South Africa 2-0.
While that game saw South Africa keeper Kaylin Swart make an error to allow Lineth Beerensteyn to score, she also pulled off a string of saves to keep the Netherlands at bay.
Nigeria’s captain Chiamaka Nnadozie’s made a crucial save to deny Canada’s Christine Sinclair a place in history in a scoreless opening draw, earning her player of the match accolades.
“Of course everything is not perfect, but I think we are going in the right direction,” said former Germany keeper Nadine Angerer, who is part of FIFA’s technical study group at the World Cup.
“What we’ve seen so far in general is that there are way better goalkeeping performances.”
Angerer said the save percentage in the group stage improved from 70% in 2019 to 77%.

OMG: Police Say the viral brawl between four women at a Las Vegas casino was over a married man

- Viral footage showed women fighting on the floor of a Las Vegas casino.
- A police report obtained by Fox News digital said the women were fighting over a married man.
- One of the woman told police said she “has been dating/sleeping with a married man.”
A wild brawl between four women on the floor of a Las Vegas casino took place over a married man, police said.
The fight between the women, captured on video in multiple pieces of footage that went viral, was over an alleged affair, according to a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department report obtained by Fox News Digital.
One piece of footage, apparently captured by a bystander, shows men trying to pull two women apart inside a casino while a third woman also tries to intervene.
One woman is pinned down on the floor by a man whose skirt has come up to reveal her underwear. She is then led away, and the footage does not show what happened to the other women. Four women were involved in the fight in total, the police report said.
Other footage shows the same woman coming towards a bystander who tried to intervene while brandishing a pink-heeled flip-flop and a woman on a mobility scooter taking part in the fight, The Daily Mail reported.
The incident took place on July 9 next to a poker tournament at the Wynn Las Vegas hotel, Fox News reported.
The police report offered new alleged details as to why the incident unfolded.
It identified the woman who was pinned on the floor as 24-year-old Danielle Pertusiello, and she told police that she was entering the bathrooms after leaving a party with her friend, 29-year-old Amanda Collado, when they were both “hit from behind by closed fists in the back of the head,” Fox News reported.
The police report said Pertusiello said she “has been dating/sleeping with a married man,” and a woman had previously caught him “cheating on her” with Pertusiello, according to Fox News.
Fox News said one of the women in the fight was the alleged wife, but it is unclear who she is in the video.
Details, including the man and his wife’s name, were redacted in the report, Fox News reported.
The police report said that surveillance footage from the casino showed a woman tapping on Pertusiello and Collados’ shoulders, and then “all four females start throwing punches at each other.” The fight ended when a security guard brought Pertusiello to the ground, Fox News reported.
Pertusiello and Collado were issued citations for disorderly conduct and were released, Fox News reported. Both women did not immediately return the outlet’s requests for comment.

Promoting education, culture, and diversity: Texas Southern partners with IgboFest

For two years, Texas Southern University (TSU) has collaborated with IgboFest Houston, a cultural entity and festival that showcases the African heritage and Igbo culture to the great city of Houston, to promote, embrace, and encourage culture, and diversity education in the community.
This year, TSU will be visibly present at this festival to highlight their potentials as an inclusive, equitable, and welcoming institution for all members of the community. A team from the institution will be on the ground to share remarkable information about the great institution.
Last year, an internationally renowned TSU’s Debate Team was at this event and performed the “Igbo Landing Mass Suicide of 1803”, a rendition of one of the largest mass suicides of enslaved people that took place when Igbo captives from what is now Nigeria were taken to the coast of Georgia.
According to Dr. Chris Ulasi, TSU’s acting Dean of the School of Communications who also chairs the Houston IgboFeast, “This partnership is highly needed and most importantly, would reflect the mission of the IgboFest in building cultural awareness, linguistic diversity through teaching and learning of critically endangered languages, and youth cultural literacy.”
IgboFest Houston has reigned for decades in the City, bringing in performers from across the United States and globally. This year, IgboFest will display the Ijele Masquerade, classified as the biggest masquerade in Sub-Saharan Africa. “Bringing the African heritage and indeed the Igbo culture to the most diverse city in America is traditionally motivating and spiritually authentic,” Dr Ulasi said.
This colorful carnival, which also is the largest African cultural festival in the City, will hold at the Discovery Green – 1500 McKinney on Saturday, July 22, 2023. Admission is free.
Group performances will range from traditional to acrobatic dancers, whereas other displays will involve very rare masquerades from Igboland. Expected at this event are; Government representatives including Houston’s Mayor, Sylvester Turner, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, Congressman Al Green, Texas Hour Rep. Jarvis Johnson, and others.
Texas Southern University, one of the nation’s largest HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities), possesses an impressive array of undergraduate and graduate programs, a diverse faculty, 80-plus student organizations, and an alumni network comprised of educators, entrepreneurs, public servants, lawyers, pilots, artists, and more, many of whom are change agents on the local, national and international stage.
