France advanced to the semifinals of the UEFA women’s Euro on Saturday after defeating the Netherlands 1-0. It took 102 minutes and the team’s 24th shot of the game before the French could find the back of the Dutch net.
The Netherlands deserves all the recognition in the world for one of the most valiant defensive performances ever seen. France might have been without star striker Marie-Antoinette Katoto, but the team still had an onslaught of an attack.

A fairly unassuming weeknight MLS match between the cellar-dwelling Chicago Fire and Toronto FC proved to be anything but on Wednesday night.

Four days ago, Paul Pogba was taking part in Ronaldinho and Roberto Carlos’ “The Beautiful Game” charity match in Miami, Florida. In that short time, he’s now hosting one of his own in Guinea 4,700 miles away. This Pogba charity match in his parents’ home country had some other big names like Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler and singer Akon playing. Butler was also present for the Miami match.
The USWNT is already approaching the CONCACAF W Championship without rising star Catarina Macario (knee) and the explosive Lynn Williams (hip), but another big name might be added to the list of injury casualties at forward after Christen Press was forced off in the 66th-minute of Angel City's 3-2 win over Racing Louisville in NWSL action Saturday.
The 33-year-old was at her best during her time on the pitch, including an impressive run and finish in the 36th-minute for her second goal of the season.
Despite turning 36 at the end of July, Brazilian legend Hulk still packs as much power as ever, particularly in his concussive left foot.
Although the nation of Brazil is free of weapons of mass destruction, it still possesses the key technologies needed to produce nuclear weapons — the science is all stored in Hulk's left.
It’s always a fun time to watch SportsCenter have to discover new sports in the summer. With the NBA plus NHL finishing up and NFL in the offseason the SportsCenter Top 10 segment is forced to look elsewhere for its best plays. Northern Colorado Hailstorm FC of USL1 — the third tier of U.S. Soccer. — has managed to crack No. 2 on the list.
The Hailstorm was hosting North Carolina FC on Wednesday and trailing 1-0 in the first. In the 37th minute Irvin Parra got the Hailstorm back on level terms with a sensational goal that was set up by an even better first touch.
The San Diego Wave twice came from a goal down thanks to an Alex Morgan brace, including a 90th-minute equalizer, to snatch a 2-2 draw with Kansas City on Saturday to stay atop the early NWSL standings with 13 points from seven games.
The Wave is undefeated at home (2-0), but they've been exceptionally good on the road for an expansion side (2-2-1). They just wouldn't quit on Sunday at Children's Mercy Park in Kansas City.
Kristen Hamilton had given the Current the lead in the 11th-minute, but Morgan brought the Wave level from the spot in the 37th.
