Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:16:21 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — What’s a World Cup without an anthem, a rallying song for fans around the world? In advance of the Women’s World Cup, running July 20 through Aug. 20, New Zealand alt-pop artist BENEE and Australian musician Mallrat have released “Do It Again,” the official song of this year’s tournament, which is hosted by their respective countries. They will perform the song at the opening ceremony at Eden Park in Auckland, New Zealand, before the first match between New Zealand and Norway.“Do It Again” recalls the energetic, eclectic pop of both performers — like a marriage between BENEE’s 2020 viral hit, “Supalonely,” and Mallrat’s accessible experimentalism, found in the song “Groceries.”“Wake up / This is the start of it,” the women sing in the song’s ascendant chorus. “Head’s up / We’re coming home again.”Earlier this month, FIFA announced it will pay each player at the Women’s World Cup at least $30,000, and the 23 pla...

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Internet gambling in New Jersey would be allowed to take place for at least five more years under the latest proposal by state lawmakers.

An original bill reauthorizing online betting would have given it another 10 years, but lawmakers sliced that to just two years on Tuesday.After an outcry from casinos, their political allies and business groups in southern New Jersey, lawmakers amended the bill yet again to extend internet gambling for five years.But the rationale for the original change — and its modification on Wednesday — remained a mystery to many in the seaside gambling resort. No explanation was given for either of the changes, and top Democratic leaders did not respond to requests for comment Tuesday and Wednesday. “We’re all trying to figure out what happened,” said Don Guardian, a Republican Assem...
