Leonel Moreno — who went viral for bragging about all the money he was making in government benefits — was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in March for skipping out on the terms of his probation after he crossed the southern border illegally.

Since his arrest, intelligence officers have taken a closer look at Moreno’s history and his...

Kicking off the 2024 Olympics with a match against the odds-on favorites doesn’t seem ideal for the U.S. men’s soccer team.

But Wednesday’s Group A opener (3 p.m., USA Network) — two days before the torch is lit — against host nation France is an opportunity for the Americans, who have the sixth-best odds to capture gold, to restore some national pride, especially following the senior team’s group-stage elimination at Copa America that led to Gregg Berhalter’s firing.

PARIS (AP) — Uzbekistan lost the match but won over the crowd on Wednesday as competition at the Paris Olympics officially began with soccer matches in Paris and Saint-Etienne. Uzbekistan fans chanted and danced throughout a 2-1 defeat to Spain, to the rhythm of a furiously fast drum beat at Parc des Princes in western Paris — once the home of French striker Kylian Mbappé when he played for Paris Saint-Germain. Toward the end of the game they encouraged large sections of the crowd to clap in unison with their hands raised above their heads, in the style of the Viking Thunder Clap first introduced by Iceland fans at the 2016 European Championship, which was held in France. There was also an Uzbek version of the popular soccer song “Don’t Take Me Home” — accompanied by increasingly fast drumming.
