Belgium’s sports authorities do not appear to have fully moved past the controversy that shrouded their Round of 16 matchup against the United States, but Belgian fans in Washington have. Folarin Balogun, the American striker whose red-card punishment was suspended by FIFA just before that game, is now barely top of mind. “I don’t think it had any impact on the game,” Michael McCusker, a Brussels native, said of FIFA’s decision. “Did it give us the extra push? I don’t know. The USA were terrible.” The White House lobbied hard for Balogun to play against Belgium. And President Donald Trump…

Paris Jackson released her new single “stitched” on Thursday, keeping the announcement short and personal on Instagram. Her caption said: “my latest single stitched is out now :)” That low-key rollout fits the artist Paris has been steadily building herself into. She performs under the name 𝚙𝚔 and has spent the past several years expanding her solo catalog.

The title “stitched” points somewhere reparative: mending and healing, putting pieces back together. It…
