 1 - California 0 at half 

 

Edit: I’m not sure about that penalty…

Clear penalty. Defender kicked the leg instead of the ball which was gone by that stage. It would have been a foul anywhere on the field.

takes the lead in 45th minute after a VAR penalty. defender wanted to kick the ball but kicked the attacker's leg who tackled the ball away first. Philippines also had a goal ruled out for clear offside before.

Toth is half-Thai which makes it even less probable to qualify as racist but most people probably don't even realize that. Either way, she's too low ranked to be anything but a ITF stalwart and those top players calling to ban her from the tour will probably never play her in their careers

Toth did come out and apologize after R2 loss but obviously the damage is done yet tennis tour will swiftly move on anyway.

Zhang Shuai should be out of Top 100 after USO since her form is truly dismal this season and this is the biggest news she made in 2023

No surprise if Canada still rides their hopes on 40 year old Sinclair

beats 1-0 after a penalty kick early in the second half. Not much quality in this match, Australia played without injured Sam Kerr and both teams clearly lacked a good striking finish.

wins 1-0, their first ever World Cup finals victory in 16th match. truly looks like a second tier team now, they failed at the last Euro's and it doesn't look like they can do much at this WC either.

New Zealand vs Norway has kicked off in Auckland...

Yukon Territory

At least there is real snow in Yukon?

Raków Częstochowa got through Flora Tallinn and next up is Karabach Agdam which has been a thorn in Polish teams' side in the last few years.

Btw, Stanislav Cherchesov has been duly fired from Ferencvaros after that ass-kicking from the Faroers.

Angels sweep the Yankees in a 3-game series and return above  .500 which makes the Ohtani trade somewhat less probable before the deadline IMO.

Nope, same old. Mexico wins Gold Cup 1-0 in the final over Panama.

And it's over! Carlos Alcaraz wins in five sets!

Natalia Kaczmarek 49.48 PB in 400 (running behind Klaver usually works, 49.81 PB for her).

Before this Wimbledon Vondrousova has won a grand total of TWO WTA main draw matches on grass in her career (vs Zheng Saisai in 2019 & vs Anett Kontaveit in 2021). I suppose grass is truly the green clay these days

Marketa Vondrousova wins Wimbledon 6-4 6-4 in the final. Jabeur totally screwed the pooch as the pre-match favorite. She won't have a better chance to win a GS IMO. 0-3 in GS finals now.

Vondrousova takes the first set 6-4. Jabeur unable to handle the pressure as pre-match favprite which is old story tbh.

Well, I don't know what's more overhyped now, the US team or Mexico's decline? I kinda hope Panama wins the final

I suppose majority of the crowd will support Carlos Alcaraz in the final?

Ons in final, Iga will remain as number 1 in ranking, Aryna will stay as second, everyone are happy 

Well, Świątek has to defend USO title next so this debate will return in seven weeks time

Ons Jabeur beats Aryna Sabalenka 6-7(5) 6-4 6-3 in the second SF so we are guaranteed a new GS champion for women.

Marketa Vondrousova beats Elina Svitolina 6-3 6-3 in the first women's SF.

Over in the girls tournament Alina Korneeva is into SF so still on course to win her third junior GS in a row. She plays Nikola Bartunkova next.

Renata Jamrichova is also into girls SF @hckošice
