35 h. ago Christian Pulisic, his father and Tim Weah rail against ‘evil’ US soccer critics

Trio made comments in new docuseries episodePulisic: Critics ‘disrespected me in a lot of ways’Tim Weah, Christian Pulisic, and Mark Pulisic (Christian’s father) all delivered searing takes on ex-US men’s national team players who criticized the team during their recent run of bad form, with Weah deeming the pundits to be “evil.”The trio made the comments in the latest epsiode of the Pulsic docuseries on Paramount+, the final episodes of which were released this week. The new episodes cover the national team from the 2024 Copa América, in which the US underperformed by exiting at the group stage, up through the 2025 Nations League final, where the US lost against Panama and Canada en route to a disappointing fourth-place finish in a competition they had won in each of the previous three editions. Following that tournament, Pulisic kicked off a media firestorm when he announced that he would skip the 2025 Gold Cup, the team’s last competitive tournament before next year’s World Cup o...

69 h. ago The Breakdown | Jac Morgan’s pivotal Lions moment reignites jackling debate in rugby

Some people consider it sacrosanct but has World Rugby extended too much latitude to the jackler or ‘stealer’?Another Lions tour added to the annals, and everyone is more or less happy. The British & Irish Lions take a series win, just about, and Australia have a pivotal moment at the end of the second Test to whinge about, or console themselves over, depending on your viewpoint.Certainly, these days, it is difficult to know what disciplinary outcome may pertain to each incident in the cut and thrust of elite rugby. Most people with eyes can appreciate there was no head contact when Jac Morgan tried to clear out the jackling Carlo Tizzano in the buildup to Hugo Keenan’s winning try, but there is no doubt, either, that Tizzano was in an exposed position, just as that particular split-second represented an impossible situation for Morgan. Had he gone any lower he would have made contact with the head, higher and he would have missed the clearout altogether. Continue read...

7 d. ago Venus Williams crashes out to Jessica Bouzas Maneiro at Cincinnati Open

45-year-old American loses 6-4, 6-4 in first round‘I could have played better but I did go for it’For the 1,099th time in her career, Venus Williams took her place on the baseline before a tennis match and prepared to do battle. As has been the case almost every time she has competed for the last 31 years, Williams fought hard until the end, but there was no fairytale outcome in the midwest. After two competitive sets on Centre Court, the in-form Spaniard Jessica Bouzas Maneiro knocked out Williams in the first round of the Cincinnati Open with a 6-4, 6-4 win.Things had looked particularly bleak for the 45-year-old Williams early on as she struggled to keep the ball in court, quickly falling down two breaks at 1-4 in the opening set. At 22, Bouzas Maneiro has been on the rise in recent months and her ranking of 51 belies a run of form that includes a fourth round at Wimbledon followed by a quarter-final in Montreal last week. The Spaniard showed her quality by remaining solid from t...

When Anne Wijdeveld met Ben on New Year’s Eve they began what she thought was a holiday romance. Within weeks she was moving across the globe to be with himFind more stories from The moment I knew seriesIn December 2024 I arrived in Sydney ready for an adventure. A friend was getting married in Australia and I had originally booked the trip with my ex, but when he dropped out after our breakup I decided to go ahead. I was considering quitting my job and moving back to the Netherlands so, even though I didn’t know what my future would look like, I was ready for a holiday. I planned a week with friends in Sydney and Newcastle, a week with a friend travelling up the east coast and a final week on my own.On New Year’s Eve I’d been at an all-day boat party on Sydney Harbour when a friend said she was off to meet an old flame of hers at a fireworks event in Bondi. I remember her telling me he had a nice single brother called Ben and showing me a photo: he had a moustache, was wearing a ta...

3 w. ago Euros continue to serve up goal fest as playing styles collide to dazzling effect | Jonathan Liew

With three matches to go, the tournament in Switzerland is clear of the 2022 edition in goals per game, but what’s behind all the extra scoring?And frankly, have you not been entertained? If, of course, we are willing to stretch our definition of “entertainment” to include some of the other popular sensations. Suspense. Terror. Existential despair. Cold sweating. Temporary breakdown of the nervous system. Loud screaming at inanimate items of electrical equipment.But as we approach the final week of this operatic Women’s European Championship, this tournament has a fair claim to be one of the most thrilling in recent memory. And not just on the more intangible metrics: noise, penalty drama, side-eye, flying saves, players singing unprompted into pitch-side microphones, quality of fan walks. With three matches remaining, Euro 2025 has surpassed Euro 2022 in terms of goals, averaging a staggering half a goal more (3.57 against 3.06). Continue reading...
