Cristiano Ronaldo made history last time out for Portugal as his nation began the tournament in Qatar with a dramatic 3-2 win over Ghana. It wasn’t such smooth sailing for Uruguay though as they were held to a 0-0 draw with a stubborn South Korea.

That success ended the moniker of Portugal as the ’nearly men’ of European international football, after years of near misses for the Iberian superpower. The dominance of Spain between 2008 and 2012 only increased the pressure on Santos, as well as talisman Cristiano Ronaldo, and the former Manchester United man could make his tournament farewell at this year’s FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Santos opted for a solid core of players during Portugal’s World Cup qualification campaign and has gone with much the same for Qatar as they chase a trophy that has so far eluded them....

Israel just bought into one of the crappiest ideas around, and it’s paying off. A few years ago, amid a nationwide effort to clean up manure, which emits methane (a greenhouse gas), the Minister of Environment told 55 farmers in Hefer Valley to bury the dung from their 12,000 dairy cows. So the Hefer farmers teamed up with a water-purification company to create a power plant fueled by dung. Their recipe: mix the dung with water, then stir and heat, releasing methane that turns turbines....

Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday pledged to address the surge in gun violence in Chicago, New York, Washington, Los Angeles and San Francisco with a crack down on gun trafficking and additional funding for neighborhood intervention programs....
Why the divergence? One reason is the margin of error, which can skew each candidate’s percentage as much as four points either way. Also, the latest polls reflect a different base-no longer just “registered” voters, but those whose answers to a series of questions suggest that they are most “likely” to vote. CBS says that because Gallup polls voters between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m., it may miss young and single voters who tend to go out in the evening....
“We’re here because the Pope has insulted our prophet and our religion,” said one young Muslim activist, a woman who gave only her first name, Emine. “He is not welcome here unless he apologizes for the insult.” Before the demonstration dissolved peacefully, just minutes after the protest license granted by the Istanbul municipal authority expired, the protesters—supporters of the Islamist Saadet party—unfurled a petition of tens of thousands of names calling for the Pope not to come to Turkey....
