Face à la Norvège, l’équipe de France pouvait encore nous rassurer pour la suite de cet Euro de handball. Il n’en fut rien malheureusement.

Un véritable test en vue de la suite du tournoi. Si nous avions placé beaucoup d’attente dans cette partie, Charles Bolzinger a pris soin de nous faire redescendre sur Terre. En effet, le gardien tricolore s’emploie au bout de deux minutes seulement. On vous laisse admirer son arrêt insolent.

Mais détrompez-vous, ce ne sont pas les Scandinaves qui ont le dernier mot. Les Français s’imposent 38-34 contre la Norvège, qui plus est chez elle. Un tour de force que nous aurions préféré ne pas connaître. Étant donné que les Norvégiens sont également qualifiés, les Bleus arrivent donc au Tour Principal avec d’ores et déjà deux points. La double peine. VICTOIRE ! 3/3 pour les BLEUS avec ce nouveau succès !

The U.S. State Department will stop issuing immigrant visas for 75 countries for an undetermined time beginning Jan. 21. The suspension applies to U.S. immigrant visas for foreigners seeking to live in the U.S., but it does not impact short-term visa applications for students or tourists, including soccer fans wishing to travel to the U.S. for the FIFA World Cup 2026, according to the department. Local immigration attorney Haim Vasquez represents people across the state of Texas seeking immigrant and non-immigrant visas and spoke with NBC 5 about the impact on those seeking to live in the U.S. and those only wanting to visit. “We are talking about people who have been ‘in the line,’” said Vasquez about the 75 countries impacted by the suspension. “This is only for the people who are outside the United States who are applying to get that Green Card granted at the consulate and who might have been waiting for over a decade in many cases to obtain the Green Cards. This does not have anything to do with immigration issues at the border or people who don’t have immigration status inside the U.S.” People living in the following countries are impacted by the suspension of immigrant visa applications: Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Antigua and Barbuda, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Belize, Bhutan, Bosnia, Brazil, Burma, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Colombia, Cote d’Ivoire, Cuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Dominica, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Fiji, Gambia, Georgia, Ghana, Grenada, Guatemala, Guinea, Haiti, Iran, Iraq, Jamaica, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, Nepal, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Pakistan, Republic of the Congo, Russia, Rwanda, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Tanzania, Thailand, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Uruguay, Uzbekistan and Yemen. According to the State Department, “The State Department will pause immigrant visa processing from 75 countries whose migrants take welfare from the American people at unacceptable rates. The freeze will remain active until the U.S. can ensure that new immigrants will not extract wealth from the American people. The pause impacts dozens of countries – including Somalia, Haiti, Iran, and Eritrea – whose immigrants often become public charges on the United States upon arrival. We are working to ensure the generosity of the American people will no longer be abused.” Vasquez questions what data the government used to compile and justify the countries on the list. “When somebody’s a resident, they have to have a financial sponsor, and even if they were going to use public benefits that they do not qualify, the government can go after that sponsor,” he said. The crackdown on legal immigration comes as the State Department shared another cordial invitation to the world on Sunday. “America is excited to welcome the world for the 2026 World Cup,” said Andrew Giuliani in a video posted on the agency’s X account. Giuliani toured AT&T Stadium last month ahead of the World Cup tournament. When asked about restrictions on immigration from certain countries, Giuliani said, “There’s no effect on B1, B2 Visas, which is what the fans will be coming here on. If anything, actually, we’ll probably reduce some of the wait times for them.” Dallas Stadium, aka AT&T Stadium, will host nine matches, including the reigning champion Argentina. Giuliani said World Cup ticket holders in general will have their travel visa applications prioritized. Visa wait times for Argentinians and Brazilians, for example, are being significantly reduced from one year to two months or less, he said. Appointments under the FIFA Priority Appointment Scheduling System (PASS) will become available for ticket holders in early 2026. Visitors from the 42 Countries participating in the Visa Waiver Program can apply…

A tractor trailer overturned and split open in Perkasie, Pennsylvania, on Monday, causing diesel and aluminum to spill along a roadway, police said. The tractor trailer was carrying scrap metal along Ridge Road when it went off the road and overturned, police said. The trailer spilled around 50 gallons of diesel fuel along with some of the metal it was carrying, however, officials say there is no threat to the local water supply. Crews are still responding to the incident, and Ridge Road will be closed between Blooming Glen and Callowhill Street until around 9 or 10 p.m., police said. No word on any injuries or what caused the crash at this time. This is a developing story; check back for more updates.

Tyrese Maxey has risen to All-Star starter status. The Sixers’ lead guard was named Monday as one of five starters from the Eastern Conference for the 2026 NBA All-Star Game. Jalen Brunson, Cade Cunningham, Jaylen Brown and Giannis Antetokounmpo were the other four East selections. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Stephen Curry, Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic and Victor Wembanyama made the cut in the Western Conference. Starters were decided by a combination of fan voting (weighted at 50 percent), player voting (25 percent) and media panel voting (25 percent). Maxey made his first All-Star Game in the 2023-24 season as a reserve. Though he averaged 26.3 points per game last year, his efficiency dipped and the Sixers slogged through a nightmare of a 24-58 season. Both Maxey and the 22-18 Sixers have been much better through the first half of the 2025-26 season. As of Monday afternoon, the 25-year-old ranked first in the NBA in minutes per game (39.4), third in scoring average (30.3 points), fourth in made three-pointers per game (3.7) and fourth in steals per game (1.9). “I must say I definitely missed him,” backcourt mate VJ Edgecombe said after Maxey missed two mid-December games with an illness. “He helps take some of the load off of everyone on the court. … I feel like we can be really scary, especially at the level Tyrese is playing at this year. “He’s now at superstar level in my eyes. Some people might have different opinions, but in my eyes he’s at that superstar level. Of course the game’s going to be different without him on the floor. He just requires so much gravity.” The 2026 All-Star Game will be on Feb. 15 at Intuit Dome and played with a new USA vs. World format. Reserves will be chosen by the league’s head coaches and announced at a later date.
