Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 23:34:23 GMT

A look at what’s happening in European soccer on Thursday:EUROPA LEAGUEThe unravelling of Ajax is proving to be one of the saddest soccer stories of the season.

Ajax has failed to win in its last eight games in all competitions — five of those have been defeats — its longest-ever run without a victory. The team is in next-to-last place in the Dutch league on the back of four straight losses and has yet to win in the Europa League, either, heading into a match at Brighton. On Monday, Ajax parted company with coach Maurice Steijn after just 11 games in charge, with former player Hedwiges Maduro taking temporary control of the team.

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 23:34:23 GMT

British leader Rishi Sunak marks a year in office with little to celebrate

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 23:34:23 GMT

LONDON (AP) — U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak marked a year in office on Wednesday with little to celebrate as wars on the international stage make a grim backdrop to his domestic challenges.On top of that, another year seems to be haunting his Conservative Party: 1996.Then — as now — the party had been in power for well over a decade, but opinion polls put the opposition ahead and Conservative dissent and scandal dominated the headlines. The following year, voters booted the Tories out, delivering a landslide victory to Prime Minister Tony Blair’s Labour Party.Many Conservatives fear the party faces the same fate in an election that must be called by the end of 2024. The Conservatives trail between 15 and 20 points behind Labour in opinion polls — a gap that has barely moved during Sunak’s year in office.The latest Israel-Hamas conflict, now in its third week, and Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine, have added to Sunak’s challenges.“I know this year has been tough,” Sunak ...
