Striking a blow to Mayor Mamdani’s rollout of his signature pied-à-terre tax, a New York City judge on Tuesday ruled in favor of owners of pricey second homes and ordered the city to restart the process.
Staten Island Supreme Court Justice Wayne Ozzi found that notices the city mailed to homeowners informing them that they may be subject to the surcharge were unlawful and had to be canceled and re-sent. He also ruled that a supplemental property tax roll posted online must be taken down.
“No crime is involved here, but homeowners are being substantially harmed and penalized needlessly,” Ozzi wrote in his 22-page decision, referring to the city’s controversial rollout of the tax on high-value second homes.

NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NEE) announced on September 8 that it had secured a loan of up to $1.9 billion from the U.S. Department of Energy to support the restart of a shuttered nuclear power plant in Iowa. The Duane Arnold Energy Center ceased operations in 2020 after 45 years of service. The plant is now expected to resume operations in early 2029, pending regulatory approvals.
The federal funding is intended to help restore the facility and add reliable generation capacity as the US electricity demand soars to record levels amid the AI boom. To help meet the growing demand, President Trump is making efforts to accelerate the expansion of nuclear energy. He has signed an executive order to get 10 large conventional reactors under construction by 2030 and has also called for federal funding to support the restart of shuttered nuclear plants.
John Ketchum, Chairman, President, and CEO of NextEra Energy, commented:
"Restarting Duane Arnold is about delivering new power to meet new demand while generating billions of dollars in economic value for Iowans. Just as importantly, it shows how America can support rapid economic growth and rising electricity demand while helping keep power affordable for existing customers. By bringing new generation online to serve new demand, we can strengthen the grid, create hundreds of good-paying jobs and help ensure Iowa families and businesses are not asked to bear the costs of growth. We appreciate the Administration's leadership in advancing America's nuclear renaissance and share its commitment to an all-of-the-above energy strategy that expands supply, strengthens energy security and keeps America competitive."

An **** ysis of recent filings from American politicians shows that Accenture (NYSE: ACN) and Boston Scientific (NYSE: BSX) saw an uptick in purchases from notable politicians. Rep. Gilbert Ray Cisneros, Jr. (D-CA) bought Boston Scientific shares, according to a filing earlier this month. The trade was made on August 18, 2026. Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) also bought the stock twice, on August 3 and August 10, 2026, according to a filing filed on September 4, 2026. Neither politician sold Boston Scientific shares in the same period. Cisneros and Khanna were also the two buyers of Accenture shares in July and August.
This is based on data from Quiver Quantitative, a platform that tracks congressional stock trades from politicians.
Let's focus on BSX in this article.
BSX is down about 50% so far this year amid a cyberattack that disrupted manufacturing, order processing and shipments, forcing the company to withdraw its previous third-quarter and full-year outlook. Bulls say the market has priced in too severe an outcome. By Sept. 8, the company said its major distribution centers were shipping at or above normal levels, sterilization facilities were operating, and manufacturing had restarted at most plants. Bulls believe much of the disrupted revenue could be delayed rather than permanently lost as hospitals wait for products, reschedule procedures and the company works through its backlog.
Bulls also point to a business that was still growing. Second-quarter revenue rose 7.5% year over year and organic growth was 7%. Several core franchises delivered double-digit organic growth, including Interventional Cardiology and Vascular Therapies, Interventional Oncology and Embolization, and Neuromodulation.

SZA and Vans are inviting the public to step into the world of the soon-to-launch, and aptly named, Vansza collection with an elaborate New York Fashion Week experience.
While the collection doesn't launch until Oct. 22, the Vansza activation will open its doors at 260 Bowery significantly sooner. Visitors will have the chance to take in the unique experience starting Sept. 10 at 2 p.m. local time. Following an 8 p.m. shutdown that night, the Vansza world will restart on Sept. 11 at 12 p.m. local time before wrapping for good at 4 p.m.
In a statement shared with Complex, SZA teased the forthcoming collection, which features footwear and apparel, as "a reflection" of how she lives and what inspires her on a daily basis.
COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.
"I wanted to create pieces that feel comfortable, functional, and expressive, whether you're on a trail, in the city, or discovering something new about yourself," the seven-time Grammy winner said. "Working with Vans gave me the freedom to explore ideas rooted in creativity, curiosity, and play, and my hope is that people feel inspired to step outside their comfort zone, trust their instincts, and have fun making something uniquely their own."

Monroe had one big play after another, in a 64-19 win over McQuaid, the Red Jacket's first home game under the lights since restarting its varsity program 10 years ago.
In addition to the standard passing and rushing scores, the Red Jackets had two punts, one kickoff, one fumble and one interception returned for touchdowns. Ray Garcia was the punt return specialist, D'Markos Trammell Jr. had the two defensive touchdowns, and Gregory Grant brought back the kick.
While Monroe led throughout, McQuaid had its chances. A touchdown pass from Harrison Engle to Chrisaun Jordan trimmed the Knights' deficit to 16-13 at the end of the first quarter. Monroe had the next two touchdowns, however, to build a cushion at halftime.

Friday night's highly anticipated out-of-district contest between Steele and Austin Lake Travis at Lehnhoff Stadium was canceled in the third quarter due to weather. The two teams were tied at 28-28 with 04:42 remaining in the third quarter when the game entered a lightning delay.
The lightning delay began around 9 p.m. and the game was officially called around 40 minutes later due to the inclement weather. UIL guidelines say that activities must be suspended when lightning is detected within a 10-mile radius of the event venue. Activities may not resume until lightning is no longer within the 10-mile radius and 30 minutes have passed since the last lightning strike.
The 28-28 score will likely be counted as a tie toward Steele and Lake Travis' records, but it will not have playoff implications since it is from an out-of-district contest. Per UIL rules, any out-of-district varsity football games that have gone past halftime are considered to be official contests.
"If both teams have made a good faith effort to complete the game and have not been able to finish the game or mutually agree to end the game at the point of suspension, the game shall be declared final with the score at the time of suspension," the UIL website reads.
While suspended games could be restarted at a later time, the UIL does not allow games to be played past Saturday. Lake Travis is also roughly 70 miles away from San Antonio. Steele head coach David Saenz estimated that the game could have resumed around 11 p.m., around two hours after the contest was paused.

The NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series returns to action Saturday night as the playoff battle continues at World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, Illinois.
The Nu Way 225 is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET, with drivers looking to make a major statement as the championship fight begins to heat up. The race will be the second event of the 2026 O'Reilly Series chase.
World Wide Technology Raceway is one of the most difficult tracks on the O'Reilly Series schedule because of its unique layout.
The 1.25-mile oval features different corner characteristics, forcing teams to find a setup that works in both ends of the track. Drivers will also have to manage tire wear, track position and restarts throughout the night.
Gateway is a track where experience can make a major difference. With the championship battle underway, mistakes could become extremely costly.

PARSIPPANY − Donovan Martell's 9-yard touchdown catch in the final minute of the first half was enough for Parsippany Hills to take down rival Parsippany, 27-0, on Sept. 10.
The Vikings turned their offensive struggles around when a penalty on a punt gave them a first down. They took advantage of the second chance with a touchdown on the restarted drive, capped by a 2-yard touchdown run by Anthony Caponegro. Martell's touchdown gave Parsippany Hills a 14-0 lead at the half.
Parsippany Hills held Parsippany to only one offensive drive that crossed the 50-yard line. It's the first time the Vikings have shut out an opponent since defeating High Point, 25-0, during the 2021 season.
Both teams are now 2-1 on the season. Parsippany Hills has won four of its last six games dating back to last season after snapping an 18-game losing streak.
Check back soon for more.

Stivers will have six games on the remainder of its 2026 football schedule.
The Tigers new schedule was finalized Thursday, Sept. 11 by Dayton Public Schools.
Stivers will restart its season against Thurgood Marshall on Sept. 17. Stivers kept road games against Shroder, Norwood and Vanlue from its original slate, and also received a commitment from St. Bernard-Elmwood Place. The Tigers also rescheduled a game against Dunbar at Welcome Stadium.
DPS Superintendent Dr. David Lawrence announced Sept. 2 Stivers would attempt to finish the season one day after the district said its season would be canceled. The district originally canceled the season due to what the district described as not being able to continue "safely and responsibly" stemming from injuries and low player participation numbers. DPS officials reversed its decision after holding a meeting with parents and staff the following day.
Stivers began the 2026 season with a game on Aug. 21 against Gamble Montessori which it lost 50-6. The originally scheduled game against Dunbar the next week was canceled and a few days after the entire season was canceled which caused several teams originally on the Stivers schedule to find new games.

RB Leipzig suffered a 4-1 defeat away to Como 1907 in their opening Champions League game on 10th September 2026.
Como begin on the front foot, pressing high and putting our boys under pressure from the outset. The first chances fell to Cesc Fàbregas' side.
Maarten Vandevoordt produced a fine save to deny Anastasios Douvikas in the 13th minute, but the goalkeeper was beaten two minutes later. Martin Baturina was able to get a shot away from close range inside the penalty area and found the back of the net to put Como 1-0 ahead (15').
RBL almost responded immediately. Straight from the restart, Antonio Nusa found himself one-on-one with Como goalkeeper Jean Butez after getting on the end of a long ball, but his finish was too central and Butez made the save (16').
Leipzig then began to create more opportunities. Andrija Maksimović and Marc Guiu, who were both making their first starts for the club, went close in quick succession. Butez first made an excellent save to keep out Maksimović's curling effort, before Guiu sent a promising header wide just seconds later (36').

Chase Briscoe left Darlington Raceway with a solid finish, but it was difficult for the Joe Gibbs Racing driver to view it that way.
Briscoe finished sixth in Sunday's Southern 500 after leading 30 laps and spending much of the night in contention for the victory. More importantly, he entered the race as the two-time defending winner and had a chance to become the first driver to win three consecutive Southern 500s.
Instead, Christopher Bell captured the Chase opener.
For Briscoe, the frustration centered on the final restart.
After a late caution, Briscoe chose the inside lane and initially appeared to have an opportunity to control the closing laps. Instead, several cars passed him after Turn 2, dropping him to sixth by the finish.

Christopher Bell opened The Chase for the NASCAR Cup Series by earning his first victory of the 2026 season. After passing Kyle Larson for the lead with 12 circuits remaining, Bell captured the victory in Sunday night's Cook Out Southern 500 at the Darlington Raceway.
It was Bell's first Darlington win, first victory of the 2026 season and 14th career Cup win overall. The win was huge for Bell's championship hopes as he moved into the second position in the standings, 12 points behind leader Denny Hamlin.
It was a trying evening for Hamlin, who entered the Chase as the top seed. In the final stage, contact between Hamlin and Michael McDowell caused toe link damage on the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota.
The contact forced Hamlin to go a lap behind. The 45-year-old gained his lap back and ultimately finished 18th. Going into Darlington, Hamlin had a 25-point lead over second place Ryan Blaney. Now, the JGR driver has a 12-point edge over Bell.
William Byron had a difficult evening at Darlington as he posted a DNF of 37th place. The driver of the No. 24 suffered a flat tire in the final stage, then suffered an engine failure on the subsequent restart.

It was a tumultuous night for William Byron at the Darlington Raceway in the Cook Out Southern 500. The driver of the No. 24 was forced to exit the race prematurely in the final stage after his engine expired, resulting in a 37th-place finish.
Byron, who has failed to win in 2026, entered the NASCAR Cup Series Chase 13th in the standings. Following a tough result on Sunday night at Darlington, the Hendrick Motorsports driver finds himself at the bottom of the Chase in the 16th position.
Moments prior to Byron's motor blowing, the North Carolina native triggered a caution after spinning out due to a tire failure.
Byron was having a solid run at "The Track Too Tough to Tame" for most of the evening. The 28-year-old placed ninth in Stage 1 and eighth in Stage 2, aiming to put together a quality run to kick off the Chase. Yet, things were going well until they weren't.
Byron's tire failure happened during the final stage as his Valvoline Chevrolet went sliding through turns 3 and 4, which brought out the caution on Lap 315. On the subsequent restart, Byron suffered an engine failure, forcing him to take his HMS machine behind the wall.

Byron was having a solid run at "The Track Too Tough to Tame" for most of the evening. The 28-year-old placed ninth in Stage 1 and eighth in Stage 2, aiming to put together a quality run to kick off the Chase. Yet, things were going well until they weren't.
Byron's tire failure happened during the final stage as his Valvoline Chevrolet went sliding through turns 3 and 4, which brought out the caution on Lap 315. On the subsequent restart, Byron suffered an engine failure, forcing him to take his HMS machine behind the wall.

Christopher Bell — winner: "It's been too ***** long. Oh my gosh, man. I'm just so, so proud of all these guys. All this No. 20 car. All the mechanics. All the pit crew members. They deserve it more than anyone. This has been a long time coming. Darlington has been one that I've always wanted to win since I got into the sport. This is the ultimate driver's track. I knew we'd able to win it. We can win any week. It just hadn't happened yet. But yes, when I was sitting in the infield care center at Michigan, I thought my season was over. I thought I was going to be out a couple of weeks. I thought I wasn't going to make the Chase. We're still in it, baby."
Ty Gibbs — second: "Well, I think it's just goes back to where we started. They had a pretty squirrelly metric, and we started 28th ranked in the fourth seed. Hopefully we can fix that for next time. I feel like the Toyota Camry was great. Yeah, I don't know. I'm glad Christopher won. I'm happy for him and the 20 team. We just missed it a little bit and had some issues happen a little bit. But appreciate all the effort from everyone on my team."
Tyler Reddick — third: "We just had a little hiccup on the left front on one of those green-flag cycles in Stage 2. The guys did a great job catching it. That could have been catastrophic in the first pit stall. Good job the boys not making a mistake much worse. Just lost a little bit of track position at a critical time. I think for us, where our car went was just track position. We got where it needed to be for that final restart. It was a little tough at the end, but we know where we need to be at the end of this race and years to come. Good day for the Chase. Really want to win this race bad and one day we will. It's good to be in contention every year."

Lewis Hamilton says it is "far too late" for Ferrari to give him priority over team-mate Charles Leclerc in the championship fight, following a disappointing weekend at their home Italian Grand Prix.
The seven-time world champion, who started fourth and finished sixth, was pushed on to the grass by Leclerc on the opening lap, slipping him down to 10th, as the pair battled wheel-to-wheel at the exit of the first chicane.
Leclerc then suffered a high-speed crash at the Parabolica shortly after to leave Hamilton as Ferrari's only hope of a top-three finish.
Once the race restarted following the red-flag period caused by Leclerc's crash, Hamilton never fully rejoined the fight at the front, and with Mercedes securing a one-two finish at Monza, he has fallen further back in the championship fight.
The 41-year-old, who was level on points with second-placed Russell in the standings before Sunday's race, is now 10 behind his old Silver Arrows team-mate, and 76 points adrift of **** le leader and race winner Antonelli.

Martin Odegaard said ***** nal have proven they will always 'keep fighting' after a comeback win against Chelsea at the Emirates.
Arsenal fell behind inside two minutes when former transfer target Morgan Rogers volleyed Chelsea ahead, with the £117m signing striking low into the bottom corner after the Gunners failed to deal with a set piece.
The champions came back into the game and had a Riccardo Calafiori effort for an offside, but levelled when Kai Havertz drilled inside Emi Martinez's near post on 25 minutes.
An entertaining London Derby continued at a frantic pace, with Pedro Neto striking the woodwork for Chelsea before half-time.
Odegaard ultimately settled the game after a beautifully worked ***** nal goal five minutes after the restart. The Norwegian's call for Kai Havertz to leave Christos Tzolis' pass was granted, with Odegaard emphatically slamming in the winner for the champions.

There are days when you know you are witnessing something special.
That was Sunday at the Italian Grand Prix.
Kimi Antonelli, starting down in P19 Sunday at Monday due to a change in his power unit, rocketed his way through the field not just to take a podium finish, but to win outright and take a huge step forward towards winning his first Formula 1 Drivers' Championship.
His performance at Monza makes it seem like if he indeed wins a ***** le this season, it will not be his last.
Antonelli carved his way through the field, working up to P12 for an early restart after a huge shunt from Charles Leclerc brought out a red flag on the third lap of the race. By Lap 9 Antonelli was up into sixth place.

Manchester United fell short of securing all three points on Merseyside on Sunday. Everton pulled out two screamers in the final minutes to equalize twice against Michael Carrick's Reds in what could easily have been a second straight win. Instead, it's a third match in a row conceding two goals and more to ponder going forward about the defensive approach.
The Reds looked the better side for much of the contest. A first half of positive wing play did not produce many chances despite the exciting options up front. The best looks at goal came on a try for the spectacular by Bruno Fernandes and a ball across the box by Marcus Rashford.
Matheus Cunha was the one who got on the end of the ball from Rashford, but he sent the chance well over the target with his shot form the edge of the box.
United got on the scoresheet right after the restart though. After emerging from the dressing room at 0-0, Bryan Mbeumo got an opportunity to cut inside and fire past Jordan Pickford in the 46th minute. It was a low effort that beat the England No. 1 to his right side.
It appeared that the goal could spark a second-half flurry, but Everton settled in and began a long push for an equalizer. Senne Lammens was called to action a handful of times without the Blues finding a clear look at goal, and United's only real threat to double the lead came from another bit of Rashford magic. He skipped through the defense and somehow maintained the balance and poise to heel the ball to Cunha centrally, but James Tarkowski got a foot through the Brazilian's legs to poke the ball away before he could fire.

Are we really doing this all over again?
Atlético Madrid's desperately poor 3-0 loss to Athletic Club in at San Mamés brought up familiar ghosts from seasons gone by, leaving fans questioning if anything has actually changed ahead of Wednesday's UEFA Champions League trip to Anfield.
A lack of intensity away from home and a vulnerable left side saw Atleti rue missed chances in the first half, before completely capitulating immediately from the restart in the second.
Here are Into the Calderón's key takeaways from this first loss of the 2026/27 season.
Atleti are making me sound like a broken record with no other ways of **** ysing one of their matches at this point. For the best part of two seasons, I have been using the **** ogy of a pool table on uneven ground to describe the way that the entirety of the team's play seems to gently drift over the right side of the pitch, and it's getting tiring.

Things are moving fast, very fast, too fast at Cremonese. Two defeats in Serie B, sure, but also qualification for the Coppa Italia against Parma this week... that's the record of Marco Giampaolo, who is already out less than two weeks after the restart. One word... why?
New season, same Olympic-level fitness. Luka Modric keeps adding to his legend. The Croatian is carrying on with AC Milan at the age of 40. The curious twist this season is that he is now coached by Ruben Amorim, who was also born in 1985.
A little cheap shot.
- These 20 transfers you probably missed this summer (1/2)
- Serie A: best player, best young player... the winners are known!

With the AMA Pro Motocross Championship decided, the focus now shifts to the 2026 SuperMotocross World Championship. Now in its fourth running, the SMX puts the combined best of the Monster Energy Supercross and Pro Motocross season in a three-round playoff for the ultimate bragging rights.
Supermotocross incorporates the results from 17 rounds of Supercross racing, 11 rounds of Pro Motocross, to seed the three-round playoffs. Here's what you need to know heading into the first playoff round, September 12 at Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio.
Qualifying runs on a combined points tally accrued through both the Supercross and Pro Motocross seasons. The top 20 in combined points in each of the 450 and 250 divisions automatically qualify and are seeded into the SMX field. An additional two spots are decided by a Wild Card race featuring riders that placed 21st through 30th. Any racer outside the top 30 who won a Supercross Main Event or a Pro Motocross moto is also eligible to contest the Wild Card race.
Once the seeding is decided, the riders' season-long points are reset going into the playoffs. The top seed restarts with 25 points, the second seed with 22, third with 20, fourth with 18, then single-point steps down through the 20th seed who starts with 2 points. Anyone outside the top 20 begins the playoffs at zero.
Playoff 1 uses the same structure as a regular Supercross or Pro Motocross race, with 25 points for first, down to 1 point for 21st. Playoff 2 pays double points and the SMX World Championship Final pays triple. As a result, the format keeps the ***** le live until the last round.

After IndyCar had its second most-watched race of the season for the Freedom 250 Grand Prix on Aug. 23, neither of its races at the Milwaukee Mile this weekend reached 1 million viewers.
The first race of the weekend, the Snap-On Makers and Fixers 250, received 509,000 viewers on Fox on Saturday before being postponed 90 laps and less than an hour in due to rain. IndyCar initially scheduled the race's restart to occur Sunday morning, but more rain led the series to push back the resumption of the first race until after the afternoon running of the second race, the Snap-On Milwaukee Mile 250. Sunday's resumed coverage averaged 309,000 viewers on FS1. Both numbers are a season low.
IndyCar kept the Snap-On Milwaukee Mile 250 in its previously scheduled timeslot (1 p.m.) to keep the television window the same. That race received 950,000 viewers, which is a 32% increase from IndyCar's one Milwaukee Mile race in 2025 (720,000 viewers). Race viewership peaked with 1.181 million viewers from 3 to 3:15 p.m., when Pato O'Ward took the checkered flag. O'Ward won both races to get his season total to three wins.
In its second year on Fox, IndyCar is averaging 1.731 million viewers per race – which is up 27% from last year (1.362 million viewers). Fox now owns one-third of Penske Entertainment, IndyCar's parent company, and airs all its races on the network channel (except rescheduled races like Saturday's).
IndyCar hoped to keep the momentum from the one-time Freedom 250 Grand Prix in Washington, D.C., going. The series, however, was unable to get back to 1 million viewers.

David Malukas is running out of ways to prove he belongs at the front of IndyCar without actually winning a race.
The 24-year-old American has been knocking on the door all season in his first year with Team Penske. He has piled up top finishes, qualified near the front and now has another brutal near-miss to add to the résumé. At Milwaukee, Malukas led 93 laps and appeared to have his first career IndyCar victory in his hands before a late restart issue allowed Pato O'Ward to steal the win. He finished second — his fourth runner-up result of the season.
At this point, it feels like Malukas is simply snakebit.
It's the same feeling you get watching Tommy Fleetwood chase that first PGA Tour win or Sheldon Creed keep getting agonizingly close in the O'Reilly Series. You can see the talent. You can see the speed. You can see the breakthrough coming.
Malukas just needs everything to finally fall his way.

A federal judge on Thursday halted — at least for now — attempts to implement President Donald Trump's executive order limiting mail voting.
The move stalled the directive for a second time only about a week before the first mail ballots are due to be sent out for the rapidly approaching midterm elections. U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani blocked the government from implementing the order for two weeks.
The case could soon be appealed back to the Supreme Court, days after the justices handed down a procedural decision that allowed the the administration to move ahead.
The ruling Thursday came after Democrats and voting rights groups refiled their lawsuits to comply with the recent Supreme Court decision. The high court's conservative majority did not rule on the legality of Trump's executive order, instead saying Talwani had acted too soon.
Now the administration has issued a formal rule governing whether the U.S. Postal Service will deliver states' mail ballots, effectively restarting the legal fight.

Nürnberg extended their winning start to the season with their fourth win in all competitions. Miroslav Klose's side scored three first-half goals on their way to beating Arminia Bielefeld 4-1.
Mohamed Ali Zoma put the hosts in front in the 11th minute with a solo strike. 2. Bundesliga's sought-after attacker easily dribbled past Bielefeld's defense after picking up the ball in Nürnberg's half before beating Jonas Kersken.
Tom Janisch doubled their advantage in the midpoint of the half with a superb finish from Finn Becker's cross. Since Zoma scored all the goals in the opening day against Dynamo Dresden, the 21-year-old became only the second player to score at Max-Morlock-Stadion this season.
Before the half-time break, Adam Markhiev, who was sent off in the last friendly against Real Oviedo, became the third player. The midfielder equalled his last season's tally with his long-range effort deflected by Stefano Russo on its way to the net.
Jan Reichert started the season in top form in Nürnberg's goal, and he made a couple of good saves to keep the visitors at bay. Markhiev scored another goal from outside the box after the restart, with no deflection needed this time for his superb attempt.

The FIBA World Cup is a very big deal in women's basketball, and it only comes around every four years, so you'd like for it to work smoothly. That is hardly the case for the event that begins on Friday in Berlin.
The timing, as it relates to the WNBA, is absurd. Here we have a nine-day tournament that finds the WNBA suddenly going dark near the end of its regular season, then resuming with only four games remaining per team.
The Valkyries' season goes on pause on Sunday (against Portland) and doesn't restart until Sept. 18. That's nearly a three-week break for the league's hottest team - all the while uncertain about their playoff opponent, with the seedings still to be determined.
They'll have four players engaged in the World Cup: Gabby Williams and Janelle Salaün (France), Cecilia Zandalasini (Italy) and Miela Sowah, a development player who has appeared in just five Valkyries games but was recently added to the Australian team.
Conveniently, the WNBA's eight-team playoff group is locked in, so that's one inconvenience out of the way. Certain teams and players could certainly use a break, but the league is understandably worried about injuries and, especially in the Valkyries' case, hard-earned momentum gone stale.

What a dominant showing from start to finish: our Red Bulls celebrated a thoroughly deserved 3–0 win over Mjällby on home turf to secure their spot in the UEFA Europa League's league phase. After a dominant but goalless first half, our lads were rewarded after the break with a brace from Konate and an additional strike from Haris Tabakovic.
After a cautious start, our lads steadily upped the tempo and created their first big chance in the twelfth minute. Tabakovic intercepted a misplaced pass from the Swedes, kept his composure, and played a sharp, low ball across the box—Eddi Baidoo missed connecting with it in the centre by just an inch or two. With possession hovering around 70 percent at times and clear dominance in terms of shots on goal, our Red Bulls took control of the match early on.
Mjällby tried to disrupt our flow of play with aggressive tackling, picking up their first two yellow cards after just twenty minutes. Following a heavy challenge by Granath on Nikolas Veratschnig, our right-back - clearly in pain - even called for a VAR check, though none was forthcoming. While the visitors offered absolutely nothing in attack, they made life difficult for our lads through sheer physicality.
In the final fifteen minutes of the first half, we carved out further opportunities to take the lead against the Swedes' deep defensive block. First, Abubakr Barry unleashed a well-placed long-range shot following a counter-attack (32'). Shortly after, Mjällby's tight man-marking prevented a goal when Baidoo played a ball across to Tabakovic. Just before the half-time whistle, Veratschnig curled a dangerous free-kick towards the corner of the target, but Mjällby goalkeeper Wallinder was equal to it with a strong save. The first half ended goalless.
After the restart, Haris Tabakovic and Konate initially missed chances from promising positions in the center of the box (57') before the breakthrough finally came. Following a long-range shot from Redzic, Wallinder could only parry the ball forward, and Konate reacted quickest to tap in a deserved opening goal (61').

First, Abubakr Barry unleashed a well-placed long-range shot following a counter-attack (32'). Shortly after, Mjällby's tight man-marking prevented a goal when Baidoo played a ball across to Tabakovic. Just before the half-time whistle, Veratschnig curled a dangerous free-kick towards the corner of the target, but Mjällby goalkeeper Wallinder was equal to it with a strong save. The first half ended goalless.
After the restart, Haris Tabakovic and Konate initially missed chances from promising positions in the center of the box (57') before the breakthrough finally came. Following a long-range shot from Redzic, Wallinder could only parry the ball forward, and Konate reacted quickest to tap in a deserved opening goal (61').
