Mourinho makes the right moves in Roma’s comeback win amid disciplinary case over accusations

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:04:32 GMT

ROME (AP) — Jose Mourinho’s pre-match accusations aimed at the referee and Sassuolo’s standout winger Domenico Berardi created plenty of controversy — and will likely result in another suspension for the veteran Portuguese coach.There was no questioning Mourinho’s choices off the bench, though, as Roma earned its sixth win in its last eight Serie A matches on Sunday.Substitute Rasmus Kristensen earned a penalty that Paulo Dybala converted and then the Denmark right back scored to earn Roma a 2-1 comeback win at 10-man Sassuolo.On Saturday, Mourinho had labeled referee Matteo Marcenaro as unstable.“We had him three times as a fourth official and I don’t think he has the emotional stability for games of this level,” Mourinho said, prompting the Italian soccer federation to open a disciplinary case against the coach.And Mourinho wasn’t done.He then said Berardi “exaggerates fouls to draw yellow cards,” adding that “if he was my player I wouldn’t like that at all.”So perhaps it was no c...

Israel expands Gaza ground offensive, says efforts in south will be ‘no less strength’ than in north

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:04:32 GMT

KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — The Israeli military said Sunday that its ground offensive had expanded to every part of Gaza, and authorities ordered more evacuations in the crowded south as they vowed that operations there against Hamas would be “no less strength” than the earlier efforts in the north.Heavy bombardment followed the evacuation orders, and Palestinians in the Gaza Strip said they were running out of places to go in the sealed-off territory that borders Israel and Egypt.

Juliette Toma, director of communications at the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, said nearly 958,000 of them were in 99 U.N. facilities in the south.After dark, gunfire and shellin...
