Reflecting pool was cut with ‘sharp knife or razor’, National Park Service says

Senior official alleges in court filing that damage included about ‘70 fence post tops thrown’ into the pool

A senior National Park Service (NPS) official has said a liner along the bottom of the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool was “cut with a sharp knife or razor” earlier this month, repeating Donald Trump’s claims of vandalism.

Frank Lands, the deputy director for operations for NPS, made the allegation in a court filing on Wednesday, as part of a lawsuit brought by a non-profit group seeking to stop the US president’s renovation of the site.

World Cup Q&A: ‘A lot of the ‘guys yelling about sports’ shows are now leading off with soccer – it’s an odd sight’

Has World Cup fever really hit the US? Where did Country Roads come from?And just how bad are hydration breaks? US reporters Alexander Abnos, Pablo Maurer and Jeff Rueter answered your World Cup questions

AncientFootsteps asks: Many of the pitches used appear to be quite small (perhaps because they are designed for American football which uses a narrower field). Is this really the case? And, if true, are teams taking this into account in their selection and tactics?

Jeff: Field dimensions are uniform across every venue at every World Cup, so that’s 105 meters (115 yards) long by 68 meters (74 yards) wide. The difference, as you’ve spotted, is that their stationing in an NFL stadium shows just how narrow those fields are by really cutting into the space around the pitch. Throw-ins and corner kicks look claustrophobic. Fans are perhaps unusually close to the benches. There are no expansive running tracks to serve as a dryland moat, as there were at Italia 90. I think a lot of casual American sports fans are coming to appreciate the amount of space available in this sport – just wait until they learn you can comfortably fit a regulation basketball court inside one penalty box.

Jeff: Surprise: Cape Verde! I’ll be gutted if they can’t advance after famous draws against Spain and Uruguay – though I expect them to beat Saudi Arabia.

Disappointment: I had Ecuador into the business end because of how stout their defence is, but I completely overlooked the lack of chance creation and alternative scoring threats beyond Enner Valencia.

Newcastle hit with demand for £3.2m over ‘deliberate’ failure to pay tax on transfers

• Club owe HMRC £1.9m in tax and handed £1.25m penalty

• Relates to investigation of transfers under Mike Ashley

Newcastle United have been hit with a demand for £3.2m from HM Revenue and Customs over a “deliberate” failure to pay tax, according to official disclosures that relate to a near decade-long investigation into player transfers under the club’s former owner, Mike Ashley.

The Tyneside club, which has been owned by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund since 2021, owes HMRC £1.9m in tax and has also been hit with a penalty of £1.25m, the newly released documents show. The bill emerged as a result of the tax authority’s regular publication of a league table of “deliberate tax defaulters”, with Newcastle United featuring at the top of the most recent list, released on Thursday.
