Croatia took on Czech Republic at Hampden Park this afternoon as Group D action resumes at Euro 2020.

Czech Republic return to the Glasgow ground where they were 2-0 winners against Scotland on Monday thanks to a Patrik Schick brace that featured the goal of the tournament so far, while Croatia were beaten 1-0 by England at Wembley last time out. This game is therefore crucial for Luka Modric and his team-mates, who are looking to bounce back against a Czech side that relieved some pressure with a perfect start. A Croatia win would open up the group completely ahead of England’s meeting with rivals Scotland in London this evening, while the Czech Republic can seal their place in the last 16 by beating the 2018 World Cup runners-up here.

Croatia are hoping that Dejan Lovren is fit to line up in central defence, especially considering how impressive Czech striker Schick was against Scotland – the No 9 heading the opener before scoring from the halfway line with a spectacular effort. Whether or not Lovren is fit to feature, Croatia will lean on the talents of Modric in midfield and Ivan Perisic in the front three, among others. The Croats certainly have the talent to emerge victorious here, but the Czechs have the form.

US ban on worker noncompetes faces uphill legal battle
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission's ban on "noncompete" agreements commonly signed by workers is likely vulnerable to legal challenges, experts said, as some courts have grown increasingly skeptical of federal agencies' power to adopt broad rules. The commission in unveiling the rule on Tuesday said agreements not to join employers' competitors or launch rival businesses suppress workers' wages and stunt their mobility and job opportunities. About 30 million people, or 20% of U.S. workers, have signed noncompetes, the agency said.

Global Basel Committee bolsters rules for supervising banks
The world's forum for banking regulators on Thursday tightened up its rulebook to focus better on spotting risks from climate change, the rise of non-banks, and digitalisation of finance. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, made up of banking regulators and central bankers from the G2O economies and other countries, last year set out proposals to revise its "core principles" for the first time since 2012. "The revised standard reflects changes to promote operational resilience, reinforce corporate governance and risk management practices, and address new and emerging risks, including the digitalisation of finance and climate-related financial risks," the committee said in a statement.

Writers Guild of Canada authorizes strike as bargaining continues with producers
TORONTO — The Writers Guild of Canada says its members have voted to authorize a strike if negotiators can't reach a deal with the Canadian Media Producers Association. The WGC says 96.5 per cent of those who voted were in favour of authorizing a strike, and a record 70.2 per cent of eligible voters cast a ballot. A strike authorization vote doesn't necessarily mean a union will go on strike, it just gives them the option should negotiations break down. The CPMA says it will remain at the bargai
