It seems he’s governing a nation of such people. Last May a group of university deans announced the results of a survey showing that a majority of Japanese college students have difficulty expressing themselves fully and clearly in their own language. Throughout Japan, linguistic skills have been in a downward spiral for at least a decade....

Monaco booked their spot in the final four with another fine attacking display in Wednesday’s 3-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund.

The role and usage for Abbrederis could be different than that of Adams, though, which would cause a ripple effect for Green Bay’s offense. The Cardinals likely won’t have Patrick Peterson shadow Abbrederis, a 2014 fifth-rounder.
