Sports fans can get a head start on the next round of this year’s World Cup and the 2026 version in this week’s Sports Insider, with a profile of decisions the United States team must face to improve before hosting the next edition — plus a statistical analysis of this week’s pair of David-vs.-Goliath semifinal matches in which Argentina faces Croatia and France faces Morocco.
In this week’s 52-page digital magazine, we also take an in-depth look at the first college gymnastics varsity program at a historically black university, Fisk, and how the athletes view their roles in a groundbreaking effort.
Fans can also look at the NFL from both ends of the spectrum — sorting out the strong contenders for the upcoming playoffs vs. the longshots, as well as looking ahead to next year’s draft talent for the teams that don’t have Super Bowl aspirations anymore.
