Morocco’s World Cup bid is facing fresh scrutiny this week with the arrival of another delegation from FIFA after an initial task force found defi ciencies in the proposals for the 2026 tournament. In a downbeat conclusion to the visit by the inspectors last week, Morocco’s bid leader acknowledged it had to improve the quality of the submission made to FIFA in March because inad- equacies were identifi ed by football’s governing body. The previously unplanned second inspection of Morocco is an indication of the more rigorous process introduced by FIFA fol- lowing criticism in 2010 that World Cups were awarded to the riskiest nations in 2018 (Russia) and 2022 (Qatar). There will also be closer scrutiny of human rights of the bidders before the vote on June 13 when Morocco is currently due to be taking on a joint challenge from the United States, Canada and Mexico.

They all want to see him playing because of the show he puts on,” Mirotic said. “He’s still young. There’s a lot of room for him to improve. I’m sure he’s going to be someone that every- body is going to remember in the future.” Saints quarterback Drew Brees remains New Orleans’ most popular athlete. But Davis’ rising global star power is on full display. The Pelicans’ home arena, the Smoothie King Center, was packed to the rafters and deafeningly loud during games 3 and 4 of sixth-seeded New Orleans’ somewhat surprising fi rst-round sweep of the third- seeded Portland Trail Blazers. The series victory not only was New Orleans’ fi rst since 2008, but only the second since the NBA returned 16 seasons ago to the city where the Pete Mara- vich-led Jazz originally played from 1974-79, before moving to Utah. Davis averaged 33 points, 12 rebounds and nearly three blocks per game during the fi rst round of the playoffs, earning him constant “M-V-P” chants from fans — who hope this is just the start. “We would want this to be something that changes the mindset of not just what we do here, but also of other people looking to come here,” said Pelicans forward Solomon Hill, who joined Davis as a free agent in 2016. “From player personnel to the front offi ce, whatever it may be, we’re trying to let every- body know that New Orleans is a place where we’re trying to win — and he’s the key piece you need.” samoa news, Tuesday, April 24, 2018 Page B5 NFL DRAFT: This is the class of the (fl awed) quarterback

He’s recently divorced, and from what I know, he was unfaithful to his wife with many long-term side partners. Later, he started having one-night stands. He travels a lot for work, and because I had a relationship where I was cheated on, his travel already is a concern for me. Since we have decided to be an offi cial couple, he has disclosed more detail about his one-night stands. They were with prostitutes. He says he has found peace with himself and knows what a poor decision it was, and how much damage he did to his wife because of it. He claims redemption, that he has disclosed all this to his pastor and will never be that self-destructive man again. He told me because he didn’t want to have any lies of omission walking into a new relationship. PRINTER FOR RENT!
