Due to some larger backend changes to Magic Arena, the big update is being pushed out roughly two weeks. That means that players won’t be diving into that Historic Horizons content until closer to the end of August. That’s obviously a bit of a disappointment for some players, but luckily the game is rolling out some other exciting content (and some nice perks) to keep players engaged during the two week wait....

Only seven days ago, Nigeria were licking their wounds following what was considered a meek surrender against Croatia. The manner of that 2-0 defeat raised several doubts about a side that hadn’t picked up a win in four successive games prior to the World Cup, and had seemingly carried their awful pre-tournament form into the showpiece. Many even, albeit jokingly, slated Mystic Marcus – the psychic pig who supposedly had an unblemished record in about four years of predicting sports results – for giving false hope to an entire nation by foretelling a semi-final slot for the West Africans and in turn see the side make history....

He lost 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 after putting up a tough fight against the man who is 37 places ahead of him in the ATP rankings.

Consensus Democracy in the Alps I enjoyed your article about Swiss politics very much (“Animosity in the Alps,” Oct. 1). It was interesting how you outlined some parallels and differences in the broader context of Europe. I agree with most of the analysis but want to point out that as a consensus democracy, Switzerland has an executive body of seven ministers appointed by the Parliament. Since WWII, these seats have been distributed according to the Zauberformel, or “Magic Formula....

Both teams have endured a tough campaign and will enter the match desperate for points, with only eight games remaining between now and the season finale. Back in the German top-flight after 11 years, Bielefeld look set to go down to 2. Bundesliga again. Languishing second from bottom in the league standings with just 22 points from 26 games, the Blues have won only six games all season. An important reason for their struggles has been a toothless attack, managing only 20 goals thus far, the lowest in the division after Schalke (16)....

However, Persona 5’s fame may still have an impact on the plot of Persona 6. Persona 5 didn’t just differentiate itself from its predecessors through mechanical changes; it also told a story with a very different structure from most Persona games. The Phantom Thieves have had a huge impact on Japan and the rest of the world, which may mean that Persona 6 can’t go without making reference to the events of Persona 5....

About two-thirds of Americans in the poll conducted from August 12 to 16 believed it was not worth it for the U.S. to go to war in Afghanistan. Now, the Taliban has returned to power after seizing the country’s capital, Kabul. President Joe Biden is facing backlash from Republicans and Democrats in Washington for not being more prepared for how rapidly the Taliban took control of the nation. “It wasn’t worth losing more American lives over a mess,” said Mark Sohl, 62, a Democrat from Topeka, Kansas....

Only one in 10 Americans say Trump’s rhetoric in response to police shootings and racial protests has made the situation in the U.S. any better, according to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll.

About 80 percent of Democrats and a majority of independents say Trump is making U....
