Brazil coach faces more pressure than nation’s president
EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey (AP):
Alisson Becker feels for Carlo Ancelotti, the Italian expected to bring Brazil a record sixth World Cup title.
“His position perhaps has more pressure than being the president of the country,” the Seleção’s top goalkeeper said.
Brazil are unbeaten in 20 World Cup openers since 1934, winning 17 going into Saturday night’s match against African champions Morocco.

5 Questions With Projexx & Juls
For singer-songwriter Projexx, music has always been a universal language. Growing up in Kingston, the recording artiste, born Johni (pronounced John-I) James, was exposed to a wide range of sounds from an early age. As the son of music producer Lloyd 'John John' James and grandson of the legendary Lloyd 'King Jammy' James, he comes from a rich musical lineage. That foundation, coupled with his travels and interactions with people from different backgrounds, has shaped Projexx’s approach to music.

Editorial | NWC audit reveals a lie
There is a notable takeaway from the auditor-general’s (AuG) review of capital projects by the National Water Commission (NWC), which has thus far received little attention. Because it is unstated.
The problems highlighted by the AuG were not ones of constraints in the government’s public procurement system, which has increasingly become the catch-all, or go-to excuse, for the failures of, or delays in, public projects. It is the basis for calls for the almost wholesale abandonment of the regime.
