He was one of the players of the tournament, the shield for a Moroccan defense that didn’t concede a goal by an opposition player until the semifinals.The 27-year-old Amrabat didn’t feature in any of Fiorentina’s four matches this season after demanding a transfer.Another high-profile exit was Leonardo Bonucci’s move to Union Berlin after more than 500 appearances for Juventus.

A South Florida federal judge quickly dismissed a lawsuit against Donald Trump that sought to have the former president declared ineligible for another term as president.U.S. District Judge Robin L. Rosenberg ruled that plaintiff Lawrence Caplan, and two other plaintiffs he added to his original lawsuit against Trump, lacked the legal standing to bring the case.“Plaintiffs in this case similarly lack standing and, thus, this court lacks jurisdiction. Accordingly, the court exercises its discretion under the Declaratory Judgment Act, along with its obligation to examine its own jurisdiction, to dismiss this case,” she wrote in an order signed Thursday in West Palm Beach — exactly one week after Caplan filed his case.Caplan said Friday he had “only looked at her opinion very quickly,” and he needed to examine it more closely.“As far as her dismissal, I’m not surprised at all because I always thought that standing would be the preeminent issue,” Caplan said.He said he did not plan to a...
