After over a year of speculation and transfer rumours, Barca finally secured the signing of Griezmann from Atletico Madrid, triggering his €120million release clause. While his haul of four LaLiga goals and three assists in 11 matches is hardly alarming, Griezmann’s performances have generally failed to inspire much excitement from fans, leaving them somewhat underwhelmed. It was thought the forward’s arrival would alleviate some of the pressure on talisman Lionel Messi, but the Argentina superstar continues to shoulder much of the creative burden....

Griezmann, 27, is again a contender for the individual honour this year, having won the World Cup with France after guiding Atletico to Europa League glory. The forward, who finished third behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in 2016, had no hesitation in saying the Ballon d’Or was something he wanted. “I’m not afraid of saying it. I dream of the Ballon d’Or, of the Champions League, of winning the World Cup,” Griezmann told ESPN FC....

France forward Griezmann scored twice on his second LaLiga appearance for the club but then went four games without a goal. The run of blanks ended with the opener in last week’s 2-1 win over Villarreal and the 28-year-old will hope to open his Champions League account when the Spanish champions entertain Inter on Wednesday. Lenglet, a team-mate at club and international level, is convinced his compatriot will justify the €120million fee paid to sign him from Atletico Madrid....

Griezmann revealed his desire to leave Atletico for a new challenge just before the end of the 2018-19 campaign, despite signing a new contract last June. When Griezmann agreed his new deal, he announced his decision in a documentary-style video, putting an end to prolonged speculation linking him with Barcelona. He was not at his sparkling best for Atletico this season, however, scoring 15 times in 37 league matches, a significant decline from the haul of 19 in 32 games the previous term....

The Santa Clara performances join the July 3-5 dates the group initially booked at Soldier Field. The Dead originally planned for the Chicago concerts to be the only shows celebrating their 50th anniversary, but the huge demand for tickets led to promoter Peter Shapiro adding more dates.

Democrats across the nation denounced Abbott, declaring the move a political stunt at the expense of the migrants, and accused the Republican governor of breaking human trafficking laws. But the decision to relocate tens of thousands of asylum seekers has put a national spotlight on President Joe Biden’s immigration policies, and with their social safety nets pushed to the brink, Democratic mayors have been forced to make the issue a regular talking point....

Speaking on Newsmax’s Eric Bolling The Balance, Abbott said the state has deployed “thousands upon thousands” of National Guard troops and agents from the Texas Department of Public Safety who are currently “barricading the border” as well as using large shipping containers to block areas where migrants may attempt to illegally enter the country. “They’re laying miles of razor wire upon razor wire,” Abbott said. “This afternoon, they will be dropping down some of these large containers that you see on 18 wheelers, the same type of containers that you see on the ships, to blockade the border....

The five-time France international, last capped in a friendly against Paraguay in June 2014, arrived in the Italian capital on Friday for a medical, with Roma announcing the official completion of the deal a day later. Man City hint at bright future Grenier moves to Serie A until the end of the season, when Roma will have an option to make the switch permanent. The 26-year-old attacking midfielder had fallen out of favour at Lyon, where he made just four substitute appearances in Ligue 1 this season....

The commission that drew the map followed a pattern traditionally seen in Colorado of separating areas with high Hispanic populations into separate districts, the filings argued. They said that though Latinos make up 21 percent of the state’s population, they are dispersed among several voting districts where they are outnumbered by white voters who tend not to elect their preferred candidates. The rights groups requested that the map commission draw the district lines in a way that allows Latino voters to stay grouped together, the AP reported....
