“I’ve blamed her crazy plays on those glasses,” Cy the Cynic told me, “but she got me for the second time this week. I think she’s an expert masquerading as a little old lady.”Minnie Bottoms wears old bifocals that make her mix up kings and jacks, often to her opponents’ dismay. Cy has been her chief victim.“Minnie was East,” Cy said, showing me today’s deal. “Against my 3NT West led the jack of spades, and Minnie played the eight(!) on dummy’s queen. When I led a diamond next, West won and led his last spade, forcing out my ace. I could win only eight tricks before Minnie took her ace of diamonds and good spades.”JACK OF SPADES“She thought her spades were J-10-8-7-6-4-2 and West’s jack was the king,” I said.“I’m not so sure,” the Cynic growled. “Her defense was correct. If she covers the queen of spades, I duck and break the defenders’ communication.”&...

Ireland preparing for difficult debut in Women’s World Cup opener against co-host Australia

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 19:36:52 GMT

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — Overwhelming demand for tickets meant co-host Australia’s opening match at the Women’s World Cup had to be shifted to the tournament’s biggest stadium, where it’s set to be played in front of an expected record crowd of 82,500.Stepping into that cauldron to face the Matildas on Thursday is Ireland, on debut at the World Cup and playing in its first major global tournament.“We feel like underdogs and we embrace it,” Ireland forward Marissa Sheva said. “I think it gives us a little bit of energy and we know the pressure is not on us, it’s on them for this game.”The match was initially scheduled for a smaller downtown stadium but had to be switched to Stadium Australia, at Sydney Olympic Park, which is also the venue for the Aug. 20 final.“Ever since they moved stadiums we knew that it was going to be a massive crowd,” Sheva said. “Having the opening game of the tournament against the hosts is an incredible opportunity.”The hype around Sam Kerr and the ...

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — During a recent team trip to Melbourne, Tony Gustavsson, head coach of Australia’s national women’s soccer team, called a meeting. Instead of leading the Matildas through a tactical discussion, he told the players he had different plans for the evening.“They played about a three-minute highlight reel on YouTube of the moment of Cathy Freeman’s race,” Matildas defender Aivi Luik recounted Tuesday in Brisbane, where the Matildas are finalizing preparations for the Women’s World Cup. “And by the end of it, there was a lot of emotion going around in the room.“And when they turned the lights on, we turned around, and there she was.”If any Australian knows how to handle pressure in the sports arena, it’s Freeman. In 2000, she was heavily favored to win the 400 meters in the Sydney Olympics. She lit the cauldron at the opening ceremony in the days leading up to the most important race of her life.With the country’s sports-loving public watching in expectati...

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 19:36:52 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- There is a growing social media campaign that was started by a runner who ran from park to park in Denver and couldn’t find any working drinking water fountains.  Jordan Cole, whose handle on TikTok is “Jordan in Denver,” posted a story about his dry run and has had a large response from followers.“Ok I’m in my third Denver city park today let’s see if it has any water,” Cole said on the social media app as he ran through one of the parks.“It’s ridiculous and the middle of summer and look no water,” Cole said as he continued his narration on the TikTok post.
