JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Argentina struggled to create chances without Lionel Messi in the team as it labored to a 2-0 win over Indonesia in a friendly on Monday, with both goals coming from defensive-minded players. Holding midfielder Leandro Paredes scored a long-range opener in the first half just as the team was growing frustrated at its inability to break down a team ranked 149th in the world. Tottenham defender Cristian Romero added the second soon after the break.Messi, who scored in a 2-1 win over Australia in Beijing on Thursday, was allowed to return home early by coach Lionel Scaloni in order to rest. The 35-year-old Messi is expected to make his debut for Inter Miami in July after leaving Paris Saint-Germain for the MLS club earlier this month.With Messi having told Chinese media that he may not continue playing for the national team long enough to take part in the 2026 World Cup, Argentina may soon have to get used to the idea of being without the superstar, who led th...

Mayor Muriel Bowser and other city officials are pushing for more residential development in downtown D.C. as a way to help bring back its pre-pandemic energy — and developers are heeding the call.But, in order to get people to want to live downtown, there is a lot of catching up to do.Downtown D.C. is not like downtown Chicago or Manhattan in that it is missing much of what people living in those areas want and need.“More and easier access to grocery stores,” said Wei Xie, east region research lead at real estate firm JLL, which has just published a report on the future of Central Business Districts. “Family-oriented restaurants because not all families are going to be sitting down at five-star restaurants every day.
