In search of goals, Revolution add Israeli forward Dor Turgeman
He scored 16 goals a year ago as Maccabi repeated as league champions. Turgeman has been capped 10 times for Israel and netted his first international goal in a World Cup qualifier against Norway in June. 'We are pleased to strengthen our attack with an impactful goal-scoring threat in Dor Turgeman, a consistent difference maker for his club in Israel and emerging star with the Israel National Team,' Revolution sporting director Curt Onalfo said in a statement. 'Bringing Dor to New England as our newest U22 signings, one of three on the current roster, will make us more dynamic in the attacking third and clinical in front of goal.' Advertisement The U22 Initiative allows teams to sign up to four players 22 years old or younger to contracts larger than their salary cap hit and the acquisition fees to acquire those players do not count against the salary cap. Advertisement 'Dor is a natural finisher and has a huge upside for the future. He is a young, dynamic attacker who can create for himself and also gets in good spots to score as a box striker,' coach Caleb Porter said. 'I am confident that his profile will translate well to MLS. We will work to quickly integrate him into the team and league upon his arrival in New England.' Turgeman will find a familiar face with the Revolution as he reunites with defender Ilay Feingold. Among the times they have played together include the senior national team, the Paris Olympics, 2023 FIFA Under-20 World Cup when Israel finished third, and were finalists at the 2022 UEFA Under-19 European Championship. The Revolution visit Columbus on Saturday and find themselves 11 points out of a playoff spot with eight games remaining. Keith Pearson can be reached at

Basketball at 2028 Los Angeles Olympics to tip off two days before opening ceremony
Basketball is going to get a head start at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. FIBA — the international basketball governing body that oversees Olympic basketball — announced this week that the revised schedule for the event has the first games on July 12, two days before the July 14 Opening Ceremonies. 'This adjustment allows the Quarter-Finals to be played over two days and will also ensure that no game will start earlier than 12:00 PM, enhancing the overall experience for players, teams, fans and broadcasters,' FIBA said in a statement announcing the change. What was not announced is whether this change impacts the men's or women's tournaments, or both. Those tournaments are made up of a dozen men's and women's teams — who qualify for the Olympics via results at the World Cup as well as qualifying tournaments — and those tournaments will run through the gold medal games on July 29 and 30 (July 30 is the final day of the Los Angeles Olympics). All the basketball games are scheduled to be played at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, the home of the Los Angeles Clippers. The USA is the defending gold medalists for both the men (who have won five Olympic golds in a row) and women (the eight-time Olympic defending champions).
