LONDON (AP) — The wait for a World Cup title goes on for England, but the Lionesses were still heralded as game changers back home after their loss to Spain in Sunday’s final in Sydney.King Charles III, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and a host of other politicians, royals and celebrities were quick to praise the England players on social media despite a 1-0 loss in the Women’s World Cup title match. “Although it’s the result none of us wanted, Lionesses you have done yourselves and this nation proud,” Prince William, who is the president of England’s Football Association, posted on social media. “Your spirit and drive have inspired so many people and paved the way for generations to come.” After winning the European Championship at home last year, England reached the championship match in the women’s global tournament for the first time. It was also the first time an England team had reached a World Cup final since the men’s team won in 1966.“You lef...With super conferences and CFP expansion on horizon, 2023 is the end of an era in college football

Welcome to the final season of college football as we know it. Extreme? Maybe, but 2023 has an end-of-an-era feel. Texas and Oklahoma are taking their last lap in the Big 12. The Pac-12 is still a Power Five conference. Will it even be a conference in 2024 after the Big Ten opens its West Wing and the Big 12 expands yet again? The College Football Playoff is a four-team event for the last time this year before tripling in size. Everything about the collegiate sports model seems ripe for radical changes. But not quite yet. “It does seem like it will feel like a lame-duck year at some point in time,” former Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said.Before the maps are redrawn (again) and the stakes are remade (again), there is one more season to left to appreciate what is being lost — or long for what’s being gained. “I’m resigned to it,” said ESPN’s Rece Davis on The AP Top 25 College Football Podcast. “There are parts of it I will miss very much because I consider mysel...Today in Sports – U.S. Men’s Basketball team wins third straight Olympic Gold Medal

Take a look

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — More than a year after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the federal right to abortion, the issue has at times dominated the discussion among the Republicans seeking their party’s 2024 presidential nomination and is sure to be on display during the first GOP campaign debate Wednesday in Milwaukee.Some of the division among the candidates has come over whether there should be a national ban on the practice — and after how many weeks — now that the justices have returned specific debate over abortion legality to the states.A look at how the issue of abortion is playing out among Republican and Democratic candidates:REPUBLICANS DONALD TRUMP The former president, the current GOP front-runner, has often sidestepped the issue of abortion, even as Republicans across the country have celebrated the Supreme Court’s decision.In April, a major anti-abortion group assailed Trump on the issue, saying his contention that abortion restr...Quién es Olga Carmona, la jugadora que le dio la victoria a España en Copa Mundial Femenina 2023

El gol más importante de su vida. La española Olga Carmona asumió con responsabilidad la capitanía y reivindicó con descaro de nuevo su talento en la final de la Copa del Mundo con un golazo ante Inglaterra en el minuto 29 para llevar a España a la gloria y conseguir su primer Mundial.Su tanto en las semifinales ante Suecia en el minuto 89 que mando a España a su primera final pareció no ser suficiente para la sevillana que, sin miedo, fue protagonista de nuevo.La reina de España, que viajó a Sídney para ver la final se fundió en un enorme abrazo durante la entrega de premios con la sevillana que representó el sentimiento de todos los españoles.Carmona ha formado parte del once inicial de Jorge Vilda en cinco de los siete partidos de la Copa Mundial. La andaluza solo empezó desde el banquillo ante Suiza y Países Bajos, y en semifinales ante Suecia volvió a la titularidad, y se ha ido ganando el puesto duelo tras duelo.Con 23 años, Carmona, a quien le corre el fútbol por las venas co...Ten-man Lille earns first win of season by downing Nantes 2-0 in French league

LILLE, France (AP) — Jonathan David and Adam Ounas scored to give 10-man Lille its first win of the season with a 2-0 victory over Nantes in the French league on Sunday.David opened the scoring in the 66th minute by converting a rebound after Nantes goalkeeper Remy Descamps had saved a header from Remy Cabella. The Canada striker also hit the bar with an effort from the edge of the box in the 43rd. Lille was down to 10 men in the 78th when Alexsandro fouled Nantes substitute Kader Bamba, who was bearing down on goal. But Ounas sealed the win by curling a shot off the post in the fourth minute of stoppage time. Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier kept a clean sheet by denying Bamba in the 75th, palming away a free kick from Mostafa Mohamed in the 81st and saving a shot from Samuel Moutoussamy with his leg in injury time. Lille drew 1-1 with Nice on the opening weekend and has European ambitions for this season after finishing fifth in the previous campaign.

The Netherlands confirmed that it will provide Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets following approval from the U.S. allowing Ukrainian pilots to get training to fly the planes and eventually to provide the aircraft themselves.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy received the assurance on the jets, which he called a “breakthrough agreement,” from Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte on a visit to Eindhoven on Sunday. Rutte confirmed that Denmark also will deliver F-16 aircraft to Kyiv, after the Biden administration last week gave final approval for the delivery of Dutch and Danish F-16s to Ukraine as soon as pilot training is complete. The Dutch government did not immediately say when the first F-16s might enter the conflict or how many the Netherlands will send. Zelenskyy told reporters that the exact number of aircraft will be discussed “a little later,” Reuters reported.“Today we can announce that the Netherlands and Denmark commit to the transfer of F...Latest news
