England defeated Switzerland on penalties (5-3) after a 1-1 stalemate to book a place in the Euro semifinals on Saturday. A Xherdan Shaqiri Olimpico effort nearly sunk England in extra time.

While Saturday’s result will be remembered for England’s brilliance from the penalty spot, we wanted to highlight how close Shaqiri was to scoring the goal of the tournament and arguably the goal of his career.

Europe's football body UEFA handed a two-match ban on Friday to Turkish soccer player Merih Demiral for his politically charged "wolf" celebration and fined England's Jude Bellingham $32,470 for a crotch-grabbing gesture at Euro 2024.

Harry Kane has won a trophy — a trophy in the game of life by successfully eating 10 increasingly spicy wings on "Hot Ones" and living to tell the tale.

His people missed a pretty big opportunity to announce a transfer to Bayern Munich while sweating profusely and with tears in his eyes after eating wing #10, so if you're a Tottenham supporter you've got nothing to worry about.

For the rest of you, I know what you've come to see: Harry Kane's facial reactions. 

Wing #1: Classic hot sauce
