The compacted World Cup qualifying schedule got even more complicated for the United States with the release Wednesday of the television schedule for the early weeks of the German soccer season.

RB Leipzig’s Bundesliga match at Wolfsburg was pushed back a day to Sunday, Aug. 29 and assigned a 5:30 p.m. kickoff.

Werder Bremen’s home game against Hansa Rostock in the second tier will be Aug. 29 with a 1:30 p.m. start.

That will delay travel of Leipzig midfielder Tyler Adams and Werder Bremen forward Josh Sargent, both regular starters on the U.S. national team.

The Americans are to train in Nashville, Tennessee, in Aug. 30 and 31 before flying to El Salvador for their opening World Cup qualifier on Sept. 2. They return to Nashville to play Canada on Sept. 5, then play at Honduras on Sept. 8.

Europe-based players will then return to their clubs for league matches on Sept. 11.

Because of the coronavirus pandemic, three World Cup qualifiers are being crammed into several FIFA international fixture windows designed for two.

There will be three more qualifiers from Oct. 7-13, two from Nov. 12-16, three from Jan. 27-Feb. 2 and three from March 24-30.

Man found dead eight days after 911 call, police watchdog investigating

1 minute read Yesterday at 2:12 PM CDT

Manitoba’s police watchdog is investigating after a man was found dead eight days after officers were unable to locate him following a 911 call from Canupawakpa Dakota First Nation in 2024.

The Independent Investigation Unit said the call came in just after midnight on Nov. 22, 2024, with a disturbance audible in the background. GPS coordinates traced it to the First Nation, 305 kilometres west of Winnipeg, prompting Manitoba First Nations Police Service officers to search the area.

Officers could not find the caller, whom they believed to be a local man. Eight days later, on Nov. 30, MFNPS conducted another search and found a man dead.

The death was initially referred to RCMP Major Crime Services as suspicious. The RCMP later returned the case to MFNPS for possible referral to the IIU because of concerns about the eight-day delay in locating the man. MFNPS notified the IIU on Sept. 15, 2026 — nearly two years after the incident.

Health system would suffer during extended Dynacare strike, board told

Chris Kitching 5 minute read Yesterday at 6:50 PM CDT

A prolonged strike at Dynacare labs would lead to unsustainable pressure on the public health-care system alongside testing and treatment delays for some patients, the Manitoba Labour Board was told Tuesday.

Dr. AbdulRazaq Sokoro, chief operating officer of diagnostic services at Shared Health, outlined the potential effect on blood, urine and other tests if the provincial authority has to implement a strike contingency plan that would give priority to patients deemed more vulnerable.

“We know from evidence and we know from medical fact that any patient that has complaints will get a worsening of their disease if they’re unattended to,” Sokoro said during a labour board hearing to determine whether unionized employees of Dynacare — a private, American-owned company — provide an essential service.

“We also know that in order for physicians to attend to complaints, they need to be able to diagnose the patient’s disease.

Manitoba Public Insurance is probing how to make regional roads safer for motorcyclists.

The public insurer is seeking feedback about restrictions on powerful bikes for new riders, mandatory training for older motorcyclists and limiting registrations to drivers who have a motorcycle licence (Class 6).

The Coalition of Manitoba Motorcycle Groups, which is set to gather at its regular meeting in Winnipeg Wednesday, will weigh in.

President Mary Johnson said some of the questions — such as those that relate to restricting new riders to bikes with engines under 500 cubic centimetres — are non-starters.
