SoMa , Tenderloin A week after a man was struck and killed while walking at Hyde Street and Golden Gate Avenue, a new pedestrian "scramble" will be installed at the intersection. District 6 Supervisor Matt Haney said that the scramble will be put in place within the next 30 days. Its implementation is being sped up in the wake of the death of 66-year-old Mark Swink, who was struck by a Golden Gate Transit bus driver while in the crosswalk at the intersection. The new scramble "holds all turns while pedestrians are crossing," Sup. Haney wrote on Twitter, allowing them to cross the street without fear of cars turning. Pedestrians may even walk diagonally through the intersection. San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) spokesperson Erica Kato confirmed that the city agency is working "to get [the scramble] installed as soon as possible." But Haney's 30-day timeline might be ambitious, as "the signal hardware at this intersection is old and challenging to work with," and could require a lengthy installation process, Kato said. Last Monday, pedestrian advocacy group Walk SF held a vigil for Swink at Golden Gate and Hyde. While the organization's leadership expressed gratitude for the new scramble, it also noted that many other people have been killed while walking and biking in the city this year, and that installing fixes after people are killed is insufficient. "We need the city to be proactive rather than reactive when it comes to making changes to fix these known dangerous intersections," Walk SF communications manager Marta Lindsey told Hoodline. Earlier this month, Lindsey said, the SFMTA installed another pedestrian scramble at Golden Gate Avenue and Leavenworth Street, where 58-year-old Janice Higashi was struck and killed two months ago while on a lunch break from jury duty. "We're of course very glad a scramble has been added, but it's also incredibly painful for this to be triggered by a preventable traffic death," Lindsey said. There are "a lot of proven ways to fix dangerous intersections that are quick and cheap to implement," she added. "It is taking far too long for these life-saving solutions to get on the ground." Simon Bertrang, executive director of the Tenderloin Community Benefit District (TLCBD), echoed Lindsey's concerns about proactive, not reactive, measures. "[We] welcome fast action by the SFMTA to make immediate safety improvements on Tenderloin streets," he said. "[But] we are heartbroken that it takes people being killed or injured to spur these much-needed changes." On Sunday, yet another pedestrian suffered life-threatening injuries after being struck by a driver in the Tenderloin. "Rather than highways to speed vehicles through the Tenderloin, we need neighborhood streets designed for the people that are living here or visiting," Bertrang said. Sup. Haney said that the SFMTA will be implementing more pedestrian improvements in the Tenderloin and SoMa in the coming months, including lead pedestrian intervals, longer crossing times, slower vehicle progression speed, and more pedestrian scrambles. "We'll be retiming most of the traffic signals in Civic Center, the Tenderloin, Financial District, SoMa and the Western Addition to include the features [Sup. Haney] mentioned," Kato said. The Tenderloin portion of the project is scheduled to begin installation this summer.


Tasked with chasing down Kevin Na at Colonial, Jordan Spieth missed a 12-foot birdie putt on the opening hole Sunday by an inch. It proved to be a microcosm of his final round at the Charles Schwab Challenge, where a red-hot putter finally cooled off as Spieth faded from contention. Three years after a memorable win in Fort Worth, Spieth had already set a personal best for made putts in a tournament through only three rounds. It helped him compensate for some shoddy ball-striking as he entered the final round in a tie for second, two shots behind Na. But a stirring comeback wasn't to be, as Spieth was derailed by a pair of early bogeys and never bounced back. When he rolled in a 15-footer on No. 18, it was his only made putt over eight feet - and his only birdie of the day. "The hole just started to look a little smaller today. That can happen on random days," Spieth told reporters. "I just misread a number of putts today just by half a cup. You just get days like that sometimes." It added up to a 2-over 72 for Spieth and dropped him into a tie for eighth at 5 under. While he estimated prior to the round that a 66 would be enough to get him into a playoff, that total still would have left him two shots adrift of Na, who closed with a 66 of his own to cap a four-shot win. But Spieth still has some extra momentum to carry with him to the Memorial, having cracked the top 10 in consecutive weeks for the first time since last April. "My goal today wasn't to come out and win or go home. I knew if I did what my game plan was that I would have a chance to win on the last few holes. That's all I was trying to do," Spieth said. "I could have done more the first few days to make it easier on me. All in all, I'm pleased with the week as a whole. A little disappointed today."

DUBLIN, Ohio   In a game that's increasingly tilted toward the young in recent years Martin Kaymer and Adam Scott are poised to prove that there is life after 30. The grizzled duo has gone a combined 123 starts on the PGA Tour since their last victory, but they'll set out in Sunday afternoon's final group in what is very much a throwback twosome. 2014 called, it want its tournament back. Kaymer's last victory on Tour was at the 2014 U.S. Open while Scott hasn't seen the winner's circle since '16, but they'll begin the final round first and second, respectively, on the Memorial leaderboard. In a game that can become fixated on winning, Kaymer and Scott are lessons in patience and perseverance. For Kaymer, this is something of a payoff following five difficult years since he was collecting major championships, not that the thoughtful German would ever allow himself to be lulled into the self-destructive cycle of a results-driven mindset. It was 2010 when Kaymer won his first major at the PGA Championship. Early the next year he became No. 1 in the world ranking and in '14 he doubled down on that status with two victories (The Players and U.S. Open) in three starts. That was the last time he finished inside the top 3 at a Tour event and he's since plummeted to 186 th in the world. He became a cautionary tale other Tour players would whisper about in private. What happened to Martin Kaymer? As is always the case with these things there is no shortage reasons. There were injuries like a shoulder ailment in 2017 and a predictable loss of confidence along the way that led to frustration. He was putting in the work but his scorecard told a different tale. Full-field scores from the Memorial Tournament Memorial Tournament: Articles, photos and videos But as he slogged his way through his swoon the 34-year-old discovered that it wasn't some sort of lost art that he was seeking so much as it was peace. "At the beginning you don't really know if you're capable of becoming No. 1," Kaymer explained. "All of a sudden you see yourself being No. 1 in the world and you're in the middle of it. And it's a very, very proud moment. And afterwards it's just a number. Number next to your name. It didn't mean that much." Kaymer's bogey-free 66 on Day 3 won't deliver eternal happiness, either. Nor will a victory on Sunday at Jack's Place, but it certainly will give him a more favorable perch to savor the moment. Following three consecutive rounds in the 60s, he's at 15 under and two shots clear of Scott thanks to his performance on the greens that has left him first in the field in strokes gained: putting. For Kaymer, Sunday isn't a chance to win or lose, it's simply the opportunity he's been working toward for five years. "Once you lead a golf tournament, it's so much about how much can you handle yourself," Kaymer said. "Obviously if somebody takes a run at you, it is what it is. But the game plan doesn't really change. For me it's pure enjoyment the way I play right now." Scott's career has been a similar roller coaster since he ascended to No. 1 in the world in the summer of 2014. He became the first Australian to win the Masters in 2013, became a regular contender on Tour and even weathered the decision to ban anchoring. But in 2017 he failed to advance to the third round of the playoffs and his chances to win waned. His struggles lingered until last year when he arrived at the Memorial just hoping to avoid Monday's 36-hole U.S. Open qualifier following two of the most unproductive years of his career. Like Kaymer, it wasn't the missing limelight or the holes in an otherwise stellar resume that motivated Scott, it was the intrinsic desire to improve, however incrementally, every day. "It's been a while since we've both won out here. I'm sure going out tomorrow we're both really going to want to play well and come away with a win," said Scott, whose third-round 66 moved him to 13 under. "It's one of those events that you'd really love to have on your résumé before your career is over. I'm excited for the chance tomorrow." Perhaps more than any other player in the field not named Tiger Woods - who was tied for 25 th in what has essentially become a U.S. Open tune-up - Scott can appreciate Kaymer's journey back to Sunday relevance. "He's an incredibly hard worker," Scott said of his Sunday playing partner. "If you don't see it from the wins he's had of how gritty and tough he is, I can tell you he's pretty gritty and tough working through the down times. I expect it to be very difficult to get past him tomorrow." Scott also talked of dinners with Kaymer over the years and conversations that only those who have reached the top of the competitive mountain can have. About life after the victories and the struggle of not letting what you do for a living define you as a person. "We've had some pretty honest discussions," Scott said. There won't be any of those deep dives on Sunday at Muirfield Village. Being in contention during the final round of a tournament is no place to unpack such esoteric thoughts and there's really no need. They both know everything they've had to overcome and the ebb and flow of a fickle game. As Kaymer said, this is pure enjoyment.


Marc Marquez says that he did not try to pass Danilo Petrucci on the last lap of MotoGP's Italian Grand Prix as he did not want to risk title rival Andrea Dovizioso passing them both. Marquez was fighting with factory Ducati pair Petrucci and Dovizioso, as well as Alex Rins, who was ultimately unable to bother the trio from fourth, for the victory at Mugello. Petrucci led the majority of the latter stages of the race with Dovizioso running behind him, but Marquez slipstreamed past both of them on the main straight ahead of the final lap. But the Honda rider ran slightly wide with Dovizioso on the inside of him, and Petrucci snuck past the both of them to retake the lead. Marquez, leaving Turn 1 second, said that his focus for the rest of the lap was to keep Dovizioso behind, and not gift him a win with a desperate move on Petrucci. "I try in the beginning like always, try to do my pace but I already have two small moments, I say today is not the day [to pull away], I will follow and I will fight on the last lap," said Marquez, whose lead over Dovizioso in the championship grew to 12 points. "Just I miss the apex on Turn 1, but then when I saw the last lap that Danilo was first, me second and Dovi third, I say okay, I will not try, I will just defend. "If I try and both we go wide, Dovi wins the race and then is worse for the championship. "For that reason just I stay behind Danilo, I try on the last [corner] with the slipstream but we knew that was very difficult." He added that he spent the previous laps "studying" how best to pull off a move on the Ducatis. "For me was great to overtake both Ducatis on the straight, the other laps I was studying to see if it was better on the right side or left side but then I saw the right side was too dirty and then the bike started shaking," he explained. "I went to the left side but with two slipstreams I arrived in the braking point with very high speed, when I miss the apex. "I already see that I was going wide but then I just try to be tight in, then I saw some red bike inside, I don't know who it was, Dovi or Danilo, but just I was going in and then I see that he picks up. "When going off the first corner and I see that I am second and first was Petrucci, was like okay, we are in a good situation."


CHICAGO (CBS)   A federal civil rights lawsuit has been filed on behalf of the family of an 8-year-old who was handcuffed by Chicago Police when they raided a home in March. Attorney Al Hofeld, Jr. filed the lawsuit Wednesday. It's the fifth civil rights complaint he's filed against Chicago Police on behalf of families who alleged officers traumatized children during bad or wrong raids. "In all of these cases the tragic result has been that the children now suffer varying degrees of trauma including diagnosed [post traumatic stress disorder]," Hofeld said at a news conference. CBS 2 first reported on the incident Tuesday and interviewed the Wilson family, who said police ordered them out of their home March 15, pointed guns at three children and handcuffed multiple family members, including Domonique Wilson and her 8-year-old son, Royal. View this document on Scribd "It took the breath out of me, the life out of me," Domonique told CBS 2 Investigator Dave Savini about seeing her child handcuffed. At Wednesday's news conference Wilson said, "It's my belief that the system is supposed to serve and protect. I was very disappointed with the system when I saw my 8-year-old son in handcuffs." The lawsuit alleges excessive force against the children and says they have been traumatized, have trouble sleeping, and reported nightmares and anxiety. A confidential informant, listed only as "J. Doe" on the complaint for search warrant, claimed one of her adult sons who was visiting had illegal guns in the home. "J. Doe" also told police he "interacted with" the individual "over the past year at [the Wilsons'] residence." But police didn't find any guns, nor did they make an arrest. Police also wrote in the warrant, obtained three days prior to the raid, that their background search showed the person was last known to be living at a different address. The family said police left Royal in handcuffs for 30 minutes. House Bill 51 passed Senate yesterday   sparked by @davesavinicbs2 's reporting and would require police training/curriculum, including instruction for trauma-informed policing. Hofeld, Jr.: it's "basic common sense" to have policies that say police can't point guns at children.   Samah Assad (@SAssadNews) May 29, 2019 Police confirmed to CBS 2 the child was handcuffed. Police also said when they learned of the boy's age, they removed them. "And when they let go, I had a bruise on my arm," Royal said, pointing to the area where police handcuffed him. The family also said while they were outside, the officers searched their home and tore apart their ceiling in search of illegal weapons and firearm paraphernalia. Nothing was found. For nearly a year , CBS 2 Investigators have uncovered an alarming pattern of police traumatizing children during wrong raids by screaming and swearing in their presence, pointing guns at them and handcuffing innocent parents and relatives in front of them. "They just have a modus operandi where they come with excessive force from the very beginning. It's a strategy," Hofeld Jr. said of the police department. "Hopefully, we're showing the public need for meaningful reform and re-training and new policy." CBS 2's ongoing investigation into how wrong police raids affect children has led to proposed legislation. House Bill 51 , proposed by Senator Jacqueline Collins (D-District 16), passed the Senate with a unanimous vote Tuesday and is now headed to the House for a vote. It outlines steps officers would have to take when children are present during police activity to ensure they're safe from harm, both physically and psychologically. "Nobody should get treated the way that me and my family and all these other families got treated," Domonique said. "These are children that are being traumatized   being woken up out of their sleep to guns pointed at them, thinking that they're about to get shot down." CBS 2 reached out to Chicago Police for comment on the lawsuit filed on behalf of the Wilson family Wednesday. They provided the same statement they sent us for the story CBS 2 reported on Tuesday: Chicago Police told CBS 2 it "makes every effort to ensure the validity and accuracy of all information used to apply for and execute search warrants." They also said it is not protocol to handcuff children and that initially police did not know Royal's age. Once they determined his age, they said they removed the handcuffs. You can read their full statement here. Fill out my Wufoo form! Later on Wednesday, the Chicago Law Department said in a statement: "We have not yet received the suit and therefore cannot comment."

CHICAGO (CBS)   Ald. Edward Burke (14th) pleaded not guilty Tuesday to a new round of federal corruption charges, as Mayor Lori Lightfoot is calling for his resignation. Burke, 75, is accused of using his position for personal gain. Ald Ed Burke, ward assistant Pete Andrews and businessman Charles Cui all plead not guilty to frderal corruption charges. Arraignment took maybe 5 minutes.   Derrick Blakley (@BlakleyCBS2) June 4, 2019 Last week, the longest-serving alderman on the City Council was hit with a federal indictment charging him with racketeering, bribery, and attempted extortion. He pleaded not guilty at a brief arraignment hearing Tuesday morning, and did not speak to reporters at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse. Alderman Ed Burke leaving federal courthouse after arraignment on corruption charges. @cbschicago pic.twitter.com/I9dKszENdU   Audrina Bigos (@AudrinaBigos) June 4, 2019 Federal prosecutors have accused Burke of trying to shake down the developers of the Old Main Post Office building and a Chinese businessman seeking a sign permit in exchange for hiring Burke's private law firm. The indictment alleged that Burke told Ald. Danny Solis (25th) that he would not help the New York-based company redeveloping the Old Post Office unless it hired Burke's law firm to do tax work. Burke told Solis in January of 2017: "The cash register has not rung yet." Eventually, the post office developer hired Burke's firm at a $45,000 fee over three years. In return Burke supported a TIF subsidy for the project, without revealing his conflict of interest. In addition, the indictment alleged that Burke used his position to squeeze tax work for his law firm out of Chinese businessman Charles Cui, in exchange for Burke's help in obtaining a sign permit for a building Cui owns near the Six Corners intersection. Cui previously had been charged in the case in April. The new indictment charges him with one count of federal program bribery, three counts of using interstate commerce to facilitate an unlawful activity, and one count of making a false statement to the FBI. He also pleaded not guilty on Tuesday. Cui, 48, allegedly approached Burke for help getting a sign permit for his Six Corners project, because he was relying on $2 million in tax increment financing for the site, and the sign a retailer wanted was proving to be a major sticking point. "I need his favor for my tif money. In addition, I need his help for my zoning etc for my project. He is a powerful broker in City Hall, and I need him now," Cui allegedly wrote to the property tax attorney he normally used, according to court records. Prosecutors said Cui signed an agreement to hire Burke's firm, but when questioned by the FBI, said he had made no offers to Burke while trying to get the sign permit. Charged for the first time in the Burke indictment was his ward assistant, Peter Andrews, who allegedly helped the alderman in efforts to shake down the owners of a Burger King franchise seeking to renovate their restaurant in his ward. Andrews, 69, is charged with one count of attempted extortion, one count of conspiracy to commit extortion, two counts of using interstate commerce to facilitate unlawful activity, and one count of making a false statement to the FBI. He pleaded not guilty Tuesday. The indictment also details a rather petty form of extortion by Burke. He allegedly threatened to oppose an admission fee hike for the Field Museum, unless the museum hired the child of a personal friend for an internship. Instead the museum offered that person a full time job, but that young person declined to apply for it. Chicago is no stranger to corruption. More than 30 Chicago City Council members have been tied to corruption cases since the 1970s. The indictment came five months after Burke was charged with using his office and power to demand the owners of a Burger King franchise hire his private law firm for property tax work in exchange for his support for his help obtaining remodeling permits. Despite the federal charges, Burke ran for re-election and won in February. While aldermen are not forced to resign until they are convicted of a felony   not just charged   Lightfoot has said Burke no longer has the moral authority to serve on the City Council. "No one can serve with integrity and legitimacy and deliver on behalf of their constituents with this kind of allegation hanging over them. So for these reasons, I'm calling on him to resign," she said. Lightfoot also has said she's ordered the city's corporation counsel to investigate whether any current city employees cooperated with Burke in the alleged schemes. Burke's attorney has denied the allegations in the indictment.


Jury deliberations started Monday in the trial of decorated Navy SEAL Edward "Eddie" Gallagher, as military prosecutors said his words and actions proved he murdered a member of the Islamic State terror network in May 2017, while the defense said the prosecution's case had "huge gaping holes." Gallagher, 40, has been accused of stabbing to death a teenager who was detained as a member of ISIS in Iraq. He also allegedly posed with the detainee's corpse for photographs and shot civilians. The trial in San Diego has captured national attention as Gallagher's defense has been championed by his family and some congressional Republicans who have claimed he's a hero getting railroaded. President Trump even intervened to get Gallagher removed from the brig as he awaited trial and is said to be considering a pardon for him. Gallagher's defense attorney argued his client was a subject of "fixation" by military prosecutors. "They started with a conclusion ... [and] ... ignored everything that didn't fit," Timothy Parlatore told the jury of five Marines and two sailors during his closing argument. DON BROWN: PROSECUTING AMERICAN WARRIORS FOR KILLING THE ENEMY UNDERMINES 'AMERICA FIRST' Summing up for the prosecution, Cmdr. Jeff Pietrzyk argued that Gallagher's own words and actions, as well as the testimony of his fellow troops, demonstrated his guilt. "The government's evidence in this case is Chief Gallagher's words, Chief Gallagher's pictures, Chief Gallagher's SEALs," Pietrzyk said. The prosecutor dismissed the testimony of Special Operator Corey Scott, who testified he saw Gallagher stab the prisoner in the neck but stunned the court when he said he was the one who ultimately killed the prisoner by plugging his breathing tube with his thumb as an act of mercy. "He [Corey Scott] changed his account to assist Chief Gallagher," Pietrzyk said. "He had his 'I am Spartacus' moment because he thought it would assist Chief Gallagher." Parlatore contended that investigators never asked Scott about the cause of the detainee's death, which is why they were surprised by his testimony. IRAQI GENERAL TESTIFIES NAVY SEAL EDDIE GALLAGHER DID NOT STAB ISIS DETAINEE "After he [Scott] received immunity, he told them," the defense attorney said. "... Nobody could have anticipated unless they asked him the right question the first time around ... They focused solely on Eddie Gallagher ... They didn't even listen to their own witness." During the trial, it was revealed that nearly all the platoon members readily posed for photos with the dead prisoner and watched as Gallagher read his reenlistment oath near the body in an impromptu ceremony. "That's something you do over your accomplishment," Pietrzyk said. "... He [Gallagher] was proud of what he had just done." Nearly a dozen SEALs testified over two weeks. Most were granted immunity to protect them from being prosecuted for acts they described on the stand. PROSECUTION EXPERT ADMITS NO EVIDENCE OF STAB WOUNDS IN NAVY SEAL WAR CRIMES TRIAL Seven SEALs said Gallagher unexpectedly stabbed the prisoner, moments after he and the other medics treated the 17-year-old boy. Two, including Scott, testified they saw Gallagher plunge his knife into the prisoner's neck. Parlatore accused those witnesses of plotting against Gallagher to accuse him of murder and singled out Special Warfare Operator Chief Craig Miller, the first to testify that he saw Gallagher stab the detainee, as "the king of this mutiny." An Iraqi general who handed the wounded prisoner to the SEALs testified that Gallagher did not stab the boy. And, Marine Staff Sgt. Giorgio Kirylo said after the militant died that he moved the body to take a "cool guy trophy" photo with it and saw no stab wounds on his neck. The prosecutor said he wouldn't try to argue sympathy for the teenage prisoner, who had been wounded in an airstrike. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP "Before the airstrike, he would have done anything in his power to kill an American," Pietrzyk said before adding the prisoner was not a lawful target once he was in the SEALs' custody. "We're not ISIS. When we capture someone and they're out of the fight, that's it," Pietrzyk said. "That's where the line is drawn." Fox News' Dan Gallo and Jonathan Hunt in San Diego and The Associated Press contributed to this report.


England and the Netherlands will face off in the Nations League semi-finals on Thursday. There have been some highly entertaining matches between the two sides in the past and historically this fixture has been closely contested, with each team winning six meetings and nine of the fixtures ending in draws. With the  Nations League semi-final on the horizon, here's a look at five classic clashes between England and the Netherlands. England 4-1 Netherlands (June 1996) The meeting between England and the Netherlands at Euro 1996 was England's best tournament performance since the 1966 World Cup. Roared on by a passionate home crowd at the old Wembley Stadium, England dismantled a star-studded Dutch side. Some of the inter-play and passing between the England players was mesmeric and ironically reminiscent of the 'Total Football' that Dutch sides had been such great exponents of in the 1970s and 80s. Alan Shearer and Teddy Sheringham both scored braces as the Netherlands struggled to cope with movement and intelligence of the Three Lions' forward players. Patrick Kluivert scored a late consolation for the Netherlands in a game that has gone down as one of England's greatest ever. England 2-3 Netherlands (February 2012) The two sides faced off in a friendly at Wembley Stadium in England's first game following the sudden resignation of Fabio Capello. Stuart Pearce was appointed as caretaker manager and to the surprise of many he appointed Scott Parker as captain (this would be Parker's only game as England skipper) ahead of Steven Gerrard. A brilliant solo goal from Arjen Robben gave the Netherlands the lead early in the second half before Klaas-Jan Huntelaar doubled their advantage with an excellent header. Gary Cahill 's composed finish brought England back into game before Ashley Young chipped Dutch goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg to level proceedings late on. England thought they had rescued a draw when Robben curled the ball into the far corner to win the game for the Netherlands. England 2-2 Netherlands (April 1993) England faced the Netherlands at Wembley in this World Cup qualification match. The Three Lions had won three of their first four qualifiers heading into this game. England made a fast start, with John Barnes scoring a brilliant free-kick with just two minutes on the clock. The home side added a second when Les Ferdinand's shot rebounded off the post for David Platt to tap-in. Just over ten minutes later, future Arsenal forward Dennis Bergkamp halved the deficit with a brilliant hooked, first-time volley. Late on, Des Walker fouled Marc Overmars in the penalty area after the Dutchman had made a surging run into the box. Peter van Vossen coolly slotted in the spot-kick to grasp a point for the visitors in a game which would later prove costly for England, as they failed to qualify for the 1994 World Cup. Netherlands 2-2 England (August 2009) Another classic match between the sides in a friendly match took place here at the Johan Cruyff ArenA. The Netherlands took the lead early on after a dreadful mistake by Rio Ferdinand when he under-hit a back-pass to Robert Green, allowing Dirk Kuyt to round the goalkeeper and score. The home side doubled their lead following another England mistake, this time Glen Johnson gave the ball away to Arjen Robben in a dangerous area. Robben had his shot saved by Green but Rafael Van der Vaart was there to tap in the rebound. Jermain Defoe came off the bench at half-time and made an almost-instant impact, timing his run to perfection to stay on-side when he received Frank Lampard's pass before racing clear and calmly chipping the ball past Stekelenburg. England equalised late on when James Milner made an excellent run down the left flank and put in a low cross for Jermain Defoe to tap-in from close range. England 2-2 Netherlands (March 1988) England and the Netherlands played out a dramatic draw at Wembley just months before the start of Euro 88, where the two sides would meet again. Gary Lineker gave England the lead after 13 minutes when he flicked the ball in following Gary Stevens' wonderful long pass. The away side equalised shortly afterwards when Tony Adams inadvertently put the ball into his own net from Jan Wouters' cross. The Netherlands turned the game around when John Bosman intelligently guided a header into the net. In the second half Adams atoned for his own goal by equalising for England when he headed in from Trevor Steven's free-kick.


Made in Denmark worked to create an opportunity that let players engage with fans on a closer level for this week's tournament. They succeeded. This year to access the 14th hole at Himmerland Golf and Spa Resort in the North Jutland Region of Denmark, players and caddies must walk through the Heineken Lounge - a new indoor bar and lounge area. During the event, the lounge has been packed with fans behind barriers who cheer on and high-five players as they walk to the 14th tee, located just a few feet outside the lounge's doors. The concept was introduced ahead of the tournament's first round on Thursday. A tee box in a beer tent?

Texas high school football coach W.T. Johnston died on Monday after a multi-year battle with lung disease. Johnston led the Newton Eagles to their second-straight Class 3A Division title in December 2018, just eight months after he was given less than a year to live. He was first diagnosed with lung disease in 2012, receiving a double-lung transplant in 2015, per the Houston Chronicle . Johnston gave a powerful speech after winning the state title in 2018. "I've been around these guys and their dads and their mothers since 1991. And I told them this would be the last lesson I would ever teach them, is how to live before you die, and where you put your strength and where you put your belief," Johnston told Fox Sports Southwest after Newton won the state title. "I tell everybody they don't understand this I've been given a great gift and people just don't understand that. The gift is I've been able to see how my life could affect people before I die.

If Liverpool's emotional rollercoaster of a season wasn't enough to send some fans over the edge, then the latest footage to emerge from their Champions League celebrations, which shows a powerful embrace between Jurgen Klopp and Steven Gerrard, surely will. The Reds lifted the trophy for a sixth time after goals from Mohamed Salah and Divock Origi secured a 2-0 victory over Tottenham at Atletico Madrid's Wanda Metropolitano stadium. Club legend Gerrard   who captained and inspired the side to glory back in the 2005 Istanbul final - met with Klopp and Liverpool's players at the Eurostars Madrid Tower to join in on the party. A video captured the moment as Klopp and Gerrard revelled in ousting Spurs through a powerful hug, which showcased the family feel-good factor radiating through Liverpool right now.

The Stars didn't make many picks, but left the draft happy. Plus, the major trades from the weekend, free agency updates, and more. In the wise words of Porky Pig, "That's All Folks!" The 2019 NHL Entry Draft has come and gone, and the Dallas Stars have now welcomed four new prospects to the organization. That's not a lot, but the Stars left the draft content: "We're happy," said Stars general manager Jim Nill. "We knew we didn't have a lot of picks going in, but we thought the scouts did a great job with what we had. We love our first-round pick, and I thought who we picked from the fourth round down, we did a good job." After taking Thomas Harley with the 18th overall pick, the Stars didn't have another pick until the fourth round. But while they may be long-shots to make the NHL, it's still worth getting a bit over-excited over players like Samuel Sjolund: "He's a highly-skilled kid. We're very high on his overall ability," said Joe McDonnell, the Stars director of amateur scouting. "I think he's built for today's game. Really good skater, moves the puck well. He has your typical Swedish skillset, so we are excited about him." You can read more from Mike Heika here .

The New York Giants are coming off a season in which their defense was among the league's weakest. They were 24th in yards per game allowed (371.4), permitted opponents 25.8 points per contest and finished next to last in sacks. In defensive coordinator James Bettcher's first season, the Giants' defense lacked the right players to execute his plan and also the depth to finish games. They allowed the most fourth quarter points (167) in the NFL last year. With general manager Dave Gettleman working diligently to augment and upgrade the defense through trades, free agency and the draft, the Giants feel they will be much stingier on the defensive side of the football this year. LB Alex Ogletree believes the Giants can have a "Top 10, Top 5" defense this season. pic.twitter.com/y0iaLYPEU8 - Ralph Vacchiano (@RVacchianoSNY) July 24, 2019 Inside linebacker Alec Ogletree, one of the Giants' defensive captains last season (Landon Collins was the other), is confident the Giants can become a top defense, just like the Arizona Cardinals were under Bettcher several years back. The Giants have always been keen on coining rallying cries (such as "all-in" and "talk is cheap, play the game") and this year, they've wasted no time whipping out their new mantra for the season.

Russia and China have recently touted their progress in developing hypersonic vehicles, which fly much faster than the speed of sound, which is 767 mph. Hypersonic missiles are rocket-boosted to high altitude and may be launched from land, sea or air. They fly far faster than any other weapons   more than 3,000 mph and potentially up to 10,000 mph   which makes them difficult to identify, avoid or shoot down. After leading the development of this technology area for decades, the U.S. finds itself behind and investing heavily in the technology to try to keep up. I am a professor of aerospace engineering at the University of Michigan, and one of my primary research areas is in the development of computational models to help design hypersonic vehicles. The research is funded by the government and private industry. I have led studies on hypersonics for the government. Over the past 60 years, U.S. interest in hypersonic vehicles has waxed and waned. An early success was the X-15, a hypersonic test aircraft with a maximum speed of 4,500 mph that was flown from 1959 to 1968. The X-15 flew 199 times and only experienced two failures, of which one resulted in the death of the pilot. It set the stage for the development of the space shuttle , which flew from 1981 to 2011. The next ramp-up in hypersonic activity was the National Aero-Space Plane Program, from 1986 to 1993, which never built a prototype. A recent success was the X-51A, from 2005 to 2013, which set a world endurance record for sustained flight of a hypersonic vehicle powered by a high-speed propulsion engine called a scramjet . However, there were only four flights, of which flights two and three were not fully successful. In addition, there were no plans in place for any follow-on at the end of the X-51A program. Now it seems the U.S. is back in the hypersonic effort in a serious way. The Pentagon has declared hypersonics to be its number one research and development technical priority . The president's recent budget request proposes allocating almost $3 billion to develop hypersonic weapons and defense systems against potential adversaries' hypersonic weapons. The race for hypersonic supremacy China and Russia have become increasingly interested in hypersonic weapons in recent years. Since 2005, China has published more research papers at a key hypersonics conference than any other country or international group. The Chinese have invested in a number of new and impressive hypersonic test facilities . And, China has conducted more hypersonic flight tests recently than the U.S. Russian President Vladimir Putin recently claimed that his country's military will begin deploying a hypersonic weapon called the Avangard sometime in 2019. It's not yet clear when those countries will be able to deploy hypersonic weapons in any significant numbers, which is why the U.S. has seized upon this moment to step up its efforts. The recent presidential funding requests for weapons development signal efforts to figure out how to deploy hypersonic weapons from air, sea and land. Need for a good defense Most of the U.S. spending appears to be aimed at developing new weapons   but that risks ignoring the key priority of defense. To counter Chinese and Russian development efforts, the Pentagon will need to invest in ways to detect, track and disable or destroy incoming hypersonic weapons. It is not clear if the types of interceptors that have been developed for defense against slower weapons will be effective against hypersonic missiles. Entirely novel approaches may be needed to defeat this new threat. Examples include high-power lasers and beams of electromagnetic energy. I believe that to avoid an important gap in U.S. defensive capabilities, American efforts in defense must at least keep up with the progress of other nations in developing hypersonic weapons.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio appeared on ABC's "The View" Friday morning in part to discuss intense moments during the second Democratic Debate this week when he grilled former Vice President Joe Biden on immigration. During the debate, de Blasio hammered Biden on the deportations that took place during former President Barack Obama's administration. Immigration policy is under increased scrutiny because of what's happening at the U.S.-Mexico border and President Donald Trump 's subsequent words and actions. A guide to the 24 Democratic contenders who want to face Trump "I asked the vice president, point blank: 'Did he use his power to stop the deportations?' He went right around the question," de Blasio said during the debate. "Mr. Vice President, if you want to be president of the United States, you need to be (able) to answer the tough questions. I guarantee you if you are debating Donald Trump he's not going to let you off the hook." In a rebuttal, Biden explained that his advice to the former president is confidential, adding that comparing Obama and Donald Trump is "bizarre," a word he echoed the next day to reporters when he explained how surprised he was that Democrats were attacking the 44th president. (MORE: Biden calls 2020 Democrats attacking Obama 'bizarre') When asked why he chose to attack fellow Democrats instead of focusing on Trump, de Blasio told "The View" host Joy Behar that he wanted to have an honest conversation about U.S. immigration policy. "I was not attacking Obama. Come on, let's get real. It's questioning whether those deportations made sense and asking a vice president to explain his role in it. Do you think these questions will not come up later?" de Blasio said. "I was challenging Biden because I want to hear him say, 'Here's what I did,' 'Here's what I stand for,' because whoever is going to be the Democratic nominee has to be able to do that." (MORE: Will The 2020 Democrats Reject Obama's Immigration Legacy?) Behar asked whether critical conversations among Democratic candidates should be done in public , to which de Blasio emphasized that rigorous debate is part of the process. "If we can have this can have this discussion in our family   and yeah it's a family that happens to be televised   we then can figure out who we are as Democrats and go into battle ready to win," de Blasio said. He also discussed his career as New York City mayor, speaking candidly about his approval ratings   just 42%, according to a recent Quinnipiac poll. "I represent 8.6 million highly opinionated people, and it's probably a great thing to work in a place that puts you through your paces every single day," de Blasio said, before touting his record in New York, including the end of stop-and-frisk policing in 2014, a battle that at times left him at odds with the New York City Police Department. "Stop-and-frisk was a policy that was really tearing community and police apart. It was creating tension and division," de Blasio told Sunny Hostin, who agreed, adding that the policy mostly affected communities of color. "A lot of naysayers said, 'Oh, my God, chaos, disorder, it'll go to hell.' What happened was the opposite. We got safer because we brought this community together," de Blasio said. Despite those gains, tensions again were high among people of color and the NYPD after the Justice Department recently declined to file federal civil rights charges against the officer largely responsible for the death of Eric Garner, an unarmed black man who died after he was put in an illegal chokehold for selling loose cigarettes outside a convenience store. (MORE: 'Fire Pantaleo!': Hecklers interrupt Democratic debate, taunting Bill de Blasio about Eric Garner cop) De Blasio also addressed criticism he faced during New York City's blackout in July, which left 73,000 customers in parts of Manhattan without power for five hours, all while the mayor campaigned in Iowa. While grilling him on why he did not immediately return to New York during the power outage, Meghan McCain told de Blasio that "optically, it didn't look great" that he was campaigning while thousands were without power. (MORE: Manhattan blackout shines light on rift between Mayor Bill de Blasio and Gov. Andrew Cuomo) "That's the interpretation of the media, with all due respect," he responded, arguing that he returned once he saw that the situation was being handled. "Most crises, if I said to you it's over in five hours and not a single person got injured, you'd say, 'Wow something is working.' "I'm proud of my team and what they did. And it meant that we were prepared."

You might remember Luis Suarez. No, not from leading the Barcelona line to a La Liga title this season (there's nothing particularly memorable about Barcelona winning, after all) but instead for his long, sordid history as the "biting guy." During the 2014 World Cup, Suarez was caught on camera following an altercation with Italy's Giorgio Chiellini in which he appeared to bite the Italian defender on the shoulder. Chiellini eventually produced the bite marks to prove it and Suarez's World Cup ended in disgrace. See the video on YouTube. RELATED: Harry Kane misses hole-in-one in most gutting fashion imaginable The most shocking part of The Chomp Heard Round The World, however, wasn't the fact that it happened, but that it already had twice before, with Suarez also chowing down on Bransilav Ivanovic as a member of Liverpool the previous year and PSV Eindhoven's Otman Bakkal in 2010. Needless to say, the soccer world was prepared to muzzle Suarez for good. See the video on YouTube. RELATED: Sergio Garcia scores highlight-reel goal in European Tour player-caddie soccer match But as it turns out, the only thing Suarez is better at than biting is scoring goals, and so he got a second third fourth chance to make millions at a massive club, and he took it, thriving without incident for going on half a decade now. On Monday night, though, Suarez was back on his bullsh*t with the Uruguayan national team at the Golf Cup, first appealing for a handball on a save from the Chile goalkeeper (last time we checked, goalies are allowed to use their hands) before pleading with the referee to administer a yellow card to an opponent for tripping...a pitch invader. Seriously we couldn't make this up if we tried. https://twitter.com/ESPNFC/status/1143500016360800256 https://twitter.com/primevideosport/status/1143489936185802752 Clearly poor Luis was battling the ol' mental demons once again, but thankfully managed to keep his bicuspids holstered for the full 90. We applaud the newfound restraint and the drive defeat your opponent even if you have to lure them over a trap door that looks like astroturf, but come on, man. This is why Americans hate soccer and, in this rare case, we can't say we blame them.


Brazil edged past Peru with a pulsating 3-1 victory in the final of the 2019 Copa America to seal their ninth triumph in the competition at the Maracana in Rio de Janeiro. The two sides met in the third match of the group stages, which saw the Selecao emerge with a whopping 5-0 victory. They couldn't manage a repeat of that scoreline in the final, but they won't be complaining, as they secured their first Copa America title for 12 years. The home side started shakily, but soon got to grips with an energetic Peruvian side and they began to take control of the game. They made their pressure count when an unmarked Everton steered the ball home from a deep Gabriel Jesus cross on 15 minutes. 1/1 - Everton scored with Brazil's  first shot attempted against Peru ; the previous time a team had scored with their first shot in a Copa America final had also been Brazil, in 2007, against Argentina (Julio Baptista, 4'). ¿Premonition? #CopaAmerica pic.twitter.com/EvI53jo6qT   OptaJavier (@OptaJavier) July 7, 2019 Unlike this fixture a couple of weeks ago, Peru were able to maintain their composure, restrict Brazil's play and keep the score down to 1-0 for the majority of the half. That was until they were awarded a penalty just before half-time, which Paolo Guerrero duly stuck home to draw the score level on 44 minutes. Just as Peru manager Ricardo Gareca thought he would have a positive team talk to give at the break, Jesus broke through to regain the Brazilian lead with the last kick of the half. A sucker punch for Peru. The second half was fairly uneventful, as Peru looked happy to keep their one-goal deficit until a golden opportunity presented itself. And in a way, it did in the 70th minute as Jesus was given a harsh second yellow card, reducing the hosts to ten men. Peru smelled blood. However, they couldn't make their man advantage count and instead gifted the trophy to Brazil when Carlos Zambrano's brainless foul saw the hosts awarded a penalty, which they converted to seal a 3-1 victory in a Copa America classic. BRAZIL Key Talking Point  The Selecao came into the competition knowing they would be without their star man Neymar, who has missed the tournament through injury. Nevertheless, those who have played in his place have done their country proud to deliver their first South American title for over a decade. 1 - Everton's goal for Brazil  was the first goal in a Copa America final since 2011 (Diego Forlan, 90th minute, Uruguay 3-0 Paraguay), after 255 goalless minutes in the final game. Net. #CopaAmerica pic.twitter.com/qFc7abYmJF   OptaJavier (@OptaJavier) July 7, 2019 The disappointment of recent tournaments along with the national team's lack of playing time in Brazil have fuelled a disconnect between the players and fans. Copa America victory in front of the home supporters will have gone a long way to repair this, as fans and players alike rejoice in this moment of glory. In typical Brazilian fashion, they didn't achieve this without a few scares along the way, but this will go down as a memorable night in Brazilian football history. Player Ratings  Starting XI: Alisson (6); Alves (7), Marquinhos (6), Silva (5), Sandro (7); Arthur (6), Casemiro (7), Coutinho (6); Jesus (8*), Firmino (7), Everton (7) Substitutes: Richarlison (6), Militao (6) Star Player  Jesus came up with the goods at the key moments during this final and is ultimately the reason Brazil were crowned champions on Sunday night. His quick feet and exquisite cross for the first goal gave Everton a simple finish to give the hosts the lead early on. Brazil's last four goals at Copa America 2019: ⚽ Gabriel Jesus  Gabriel Jesus  Gabriel Jesus ⚽ Gabriel Jesus Special, special player. #CopaAmerica #ManCity pic.twitter.com/J3ZzYMiQoJ   Superbia Proelia (@SuperbiaProeIia) July 7, 2019 Following Peru's equaliser against the run of play, in the face of adversity, Jesus showed a cool head to calmly slot it past Pedro Gallese to retake the lead immediately. He remained a constant threat in the second half and was unlucky not to contribute to any more goals. Jesus was visibly distraught at getting a red card in the second half, as what seemed to be a fairly innocuous aerial challenge was deemed worthy of a second yellow card. Luckily it didn't affect the result, and this final will be remembered as one that belongs to Jesus. PERU Key Talking Point  Peru have only beaten the Selecao on four occasions out of a possible 44, so the odds were heavily stacked against them coming into this final. Nevertheless, having done so well to make it this far, they will be slightly disappointed with how they performed on the big stage. After conceding a poor goal early on, they did brilliantly to get back into the game from Guerrero's penalty kick. Their reaction to the first goal of the game was exemplary. Their reaction to the second of the game was anything but. Clearly desperate for half-time, they suffered a lapse in concentration and allowed Brazil to retake the lead immediately and sacrifice a massive opportunity in this game. Jesus' red card gave them new hope later on, but a needless foul in the box in the dying minutes gifted Brazil another goal to put the game to bed. Player Ratings  Starting XI: Gallese (6); Advincula (5), Zambrano (4), Abram (6), Trauco (7); Tapia (6), Yotun (6), Cueva (7); Flores (6), Guerrero (8*), Carillo (5) Substitutes: Ruidiaz (6), Gonzales (6), Polo (6) Star Player  Guerrero was the standout man for the Peruvians once again and he is unfortunate to only end the night with a runners-up medal. He showed exceptional composure from the penalty spot to send the imposing Alisson the wrong way, having been made to wait so long to take it. Paolo Guerrero is Peru's all-time top scorer with 37 goals. He's just scored their first Copa America final goal since 1975 Peruvian hero  #CopaAmerica #BRAPER #PER pic.twitter.com/0HAqgZjGoN   bwin (@bwin) July 7, 2019 You can understand why the striker was a little upset at half-time, having seen his teammates concede so soon after. He continued playing well in the second half however and held the ball up well as Peru searched for another equaliser. Alas, his efforts weren't quite enough, as Brazil proved themselves to be the better team on the night. Looking Ahead  Brazil will face Peru once against this autumn, as the two meet in a friendly game. September also sees the Selecao meet Colombia, who will be one of the host countries for next year's Copa America, along with Argentina. Aside from the autumn friendly with Sunday's opponents, where they will be looking for some kind of revenge, Peru face a double-header against Uruguay, who they knocked out in the quarter-finals of this summer's tournament.


With the 2019 NBA Finals nearing an end - and former Oklahoma City Thunder forward Serge Ibaka one win away from his first NBA title - the focus around the league will turn toward the NBA Draft. Though for the other 28 teams not participating in the NBA Finals, the focus has already been on the league-wide event set for June 20. The Thunder have taken a look at multiple players to this point in the process. The list of candidates the team has worked out includes Marques Bolden (Duke), Talen Horton-Tucker (Iowa State), Jalen McDaniels (San Diego State), Lagerald Vick (Kansas) and Daniel Gafford (Arkansas), as reported by USA TODAY Sports Media Group's Thunder Wire. The Thunder have reportedly had conversations about trading their first-round pick (No. 21), but Basketball Insiders' Steve Kyler's report indicates Oklahoma City won't be moving the pick - and the Thunder may do nothing more than draft from their one designated slot, having traded this year's second-round pick to the Charlotte Hornets for Hamidou Diallo in the 2018 NBA Draft. Nothing notable… they are working the draft process - they don't seem to be angling for a splashy draft day. https://t.co/jWoBMOjNoj - Steve Kyler (@stevekylerNBA) June 9, 2019 MORE: NHL fans weren't impressed with Mike Milbury's questions for Pam from 'The Office' Roundup: Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger Get Married, Chicago Poop Vandal, Johnny Manziel Talks XFL Sleeping on Patriots WR Demaryius Thomas would be a huge mistake WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling impressing staff going into Packers minicamp Bears believe Clinton-Dix is an upgrade over Amos

My body is tense, shoulders hunched. Hands are moving unnecessarily quickly, there's an uncomfortable knot in my stomach. But I'm going to try and take a breath, ignore it, use as few expletives as possible and turn what feels like white hot anger at an ill-informed and naïve group that are taking joy in talking down the Women's World Cup, and gently suggest how they can get behind England's Lionesses this summer. So follow my lead - get off Twitter and let's agree not to get angry here. For the the record, I'm Ben, my main job is to make video content at 90min. A tiny bit more background. About two years ago, I went to watch a couple of women's games at Chelsea - though I'm definitely not a Chelsea fan. A few months down the line, I produced a mini documentary with a player called Erin Cuthbert. We followed a day in her life - one that involved training, media duties, recovery, followed by a swift trip home to crack on with an assignment for the degree she was studying for whilst also playing professional football. I remember being so impressed by how driven she was, how fun she was, how she juggled study and her career, how much she loved football and how fondly she spoke about her family and how they had supported her move down to London from Scotland. Over the next few weeks as a Tottenham fan, I found myself in the bizarre situation of being drawn to following every Chelsea Women's game on television, on Facebook or on BBC Sport. I found myself supporting everything Erin did, hoping she'd get a chance off the bench to get onto the pitch and shine. This week, nearly two years on from the first time we met, I watched her shine again - only this time it was in her first ever World Cup game for Scotland. What an incredible support and atmosphere created last night from the travelling Scotland fans. Thank you to every of you who made the long journey out to Nice gbsctgbsctgbsct We pick ourselves up and go again on Friday. Next Up, Japan in Rennes  pic.twitter.com/9MvrfHrdwY   Erin Cuthbert (@erincuthbert_) June 10, 2019 Since first meeting Erin, we began to create more content around the WSL, as well as England's women's squad - the Lionesses. And on Sunday, seeing the amount of coverage, content and opinion around England and Scotland's opening World Cup game, well, it was actually quite moving. Powerful, too. The game was competitive, but played in a great spirit. It was fiery. It had controversy, but officials were respected. It had world class play, as well as some big talking points. The next bit you already know. England go on to win 2-1 ( GET IN ...sorry Erin) more than six million watch the match on BBC, and there are some moments (in particular one passage of England play) which have gone viral. Anyone else still absolutely loving watching this passage of play from yesterday from @stephhoughton2 @LucyBronze and then @lilkeets . #lionesses #eng pic.twitter.com/QRoxh1QGzl   Ben Haines (@benhainess) June 10, 2019 Then, the next bit you already know as well. As someone who cares a lot about the women's game, I was a little reluctant to tumble too far into the dark rabbit hole social media can take you down. The primary reason? Honestly, the inevitable wave of crap we see towards women's football coverage. You're familiar with it. "She should be in the kitchen" "The women's game is sh*t" "The quality is awful" '"Why is this on television?" "She doesn't know what she's talking about" Forgive me for being direct, but it's this fundamental lack of understanding around 'quality' I want to address in particular. There are so many other battles for other days: equal pay, the lack of marketing and investment, the amount of catch up women's football has to play, social media coverage, major sponsors, broadcasting, the list goes on and on. But as I said, I particularly want to focus on the 'no one cares, the quality isn't good enough' rhetoric. What's the worst thing about women's football? @FIFAWWC   Rob Bragg (@RobBragg1) June 10, 2019 The problem here is nothing to do with the 'quality' or standard of women's football. The problem is clowns on Twitter lazily calling a game they've never taken more than five minutes to invest in 'sh*t' or a game that millions are watching 'irrelevant.' I'm going to park the talk around 'investing' for now, we'll come on to that later. The very nature of people talking about the 'quality' of the women's game is when you think about it - ridiculous. The size of the hypocrisy in these stupidly put together 'hot takes', particularly from blokes who spout this sort of BS, makes Mount Everest look like a speedbump. The truth people need to wrap their head around is, as football fans, the idea of loving football because of 'quality' is completely misleading. If any of us seriously wanted to make an argument that we love football for 'quality', why on earth do any of us turn out to play five-a-side? Why do we bother watching teams who are not winning? Why do any of us turn out on a Sunday morning when it's freezing cold in winter with odd socks, barely clean kit and boots with holes in? Why do we encourage people in their golden years to play walking football? Why do we encourage our children to play football at under-six level? My dad turned up, week in, week out, to watch me play when I was six. I can guarantee the 'quality' was absolute garbage. Thank the lord my dad wasn't a Twitter nut who instantly took to his 280 character, 14 follower echo chamber to then @ a six-year-old me to explain that I was crap, useless and not worthy of encouragement, or the ability to dream of something bigger. This is class. Particularly when you see that this is @Lionesses executing exactly what they've been preparing for. Look below to see how this is the kind of overload situations the team were hoping to create. ( @CoachEilidh ) pic.twitter.com/jmfNyGrh6N   Ben Haines (@benhainess) June 11, 2019 The true reason we care about football is because we are invested in it. Anyone who genuinely believes in the power of football knows that it doesn't matter what age, gender, creed or colour you are, there is nothing like watching your team score the winning goal whether it's on Hackney Marshes or at the World Cup finals. In the women's game, there is so much more weight and history to that feeling. In today's society the fact six million people watched the Lionesses' winning goal against Scotland's women's team is special. It means that six million people saw strong, powerful, athletic, passionate women giving everything for their country, which should be celebrated. So back to being positive. How do we win over those dragging their feet? Well, the good news is it's not too late to invest in women's football and the World Cup. I'm biased obviously but I love the content we get to make with @Lionesses . They're always fun, really positive and a great laugh. Here's @AlexGreenwood on excellent form today. Roll on the Argentina game! #FIFAWWC #Lionesses pic.twitter.com/61ZxKbFVaU   Ben Haines (@benhainess) June 11, 2019 if you are one of the people who has been bashing the Women's World Cup, my suggestion is, take the five minutes that's been used negatively out of your day to instead positively invest in your Lionesses. Invest in 24 elite English athletes who love representing YOU, who feel nothing but complete pride in wearing the three lions. Invest in wanting England to win the World Cup for them and for you. Get behind them, and take joy in the fact that somebody you support is doing something so incredibly special at such an important time in our sport. Celebrate their goals like you celebrate ANY goal. Follow them on Twitter and Instagram like you would any other player. Take joy in them winning and feel hurt when they lose, and I promise you, once you start truly supporting this incredible group of people, you'll find it baffling that you never did it sooner.


Arsenal manager Unai Emery has claimed that the club can still attract high-quality players for next season despite missing out on the Champions League. The Gunners were thrashed 4-1 by London rivals Chelsea in the Europa League final on Wednesday evening in Baku, after a disastrous second half. The result meant that Arsenal will play in the Europa League next season for the third consecutive year, but the Spaniard wasn't overly concerned by the implications of Wednesday's result on their chances of recruiting top players next season. "I think we are a big team and I think Arsenal are a big name in the football world," Emery said in his post match press conference, as quoted by Football.London . "A lot of players want to play here. We are in one process and we need to be strong in our way. Still in shock about that second half, so disappointing!! Same old same old. #feelforthefans   David Seaman (@thedavidseaman) May 29, 2019 "The idea at the start was to get more competitive like a team, get closer to the other teams and we did that. It is not enough yet, but next season we have to continue in our mind. "We have a lot of players with the possibility to improve. We have a lot of young players. I think we are calm and I am positive for our future." Following a cagey first period in Baku, former striker Olivier Giroud headed Chelsea ahead just after the break, before Pedro and an Eden Hazard penalty put the game beyond the Gunners as they started to collapse. Alex Iwobi pulled one back for the north London club, before Hazard's second sealed Arsenal's fate, as their 25-year wait for a European trophy continues. Emery, who has won the Europa League three times as a manager, admitted that his team deserved to lose, stating: "Congratulations to Chelsea, they were better than us. Another season without Champions League football beckons for Arsenal. Problem wasn't Wenger. Problem is not Emery. Problem is with the ownership.   Oliver Holt (@OllieHolt22) May 29, 2019 "In the first half they didn't have many chances, we wanted to do the same in the second half - take our moment - but they scored first and it was very important. "You need to play with calm. They used their chances, we had the possibility to be in the match, but then it was too difficult."


The Dallas apartment complex that suffered damage from a crane collapse has been deemed "totally unusable," and residents will be refunded their security deposits and June rent. Two days after the tragic accident that left one woman, 29-year-old Kiersten Smith, dead, officials told residents they will be allowed back in to retrieve their belongings, but they will no longer be able to reoccupy their apartments. According to Dallas Fire-Rescue, apartment complex management will arrange for moving trucks to facilitate the move. Greystar, the apartment management company, is meeting with City of Dallas officials to determine the safest options to remove the personal belongings and vehicles of all the residents, according to a letter issued to residents Tuesday. No determination has been made regarding the removal of the crane from the property, according to DFR. Three people remain in the hospital. Sunday's tragedy marked the ninth crane accident death in North Texas since 2012, CNN affiliate KTVT reported. From 2011 to 2015, Texas had about four times more crane-related deaths than any other state. 'It just sliced through the building' Abbey Kearney, who lived in the Dallas apartment complex, said the disaster happened quickly. "It was like a sunny, beautiful day and people were at the pool," she said. "And then it just got dark very quickly, and the wind picked up something fierce. It got dark, and it was over in a matter of seconds." She saw three umbrellas shoot straight up into the air. All the pool furniture flew into the pool. Then she saw the crane plummet. "It just sliced through the building ... like a hot knife through butter," Kearney said. "It went from the fifth floor to, from what I can tell, the third floor." Concrete floors of the parking garage ripped like paper. Rows of vehicles fell several stories below and lay heaped in a mangled mess. "There were cars that were vertical," she said.


JERSEY CITY, N.J.   It's a big couple of years in golf or the New York City area. Bethpage Black hosted this year's PGA Championship, and this week's Northern Trust is hosted at Liberty National Golf Club, following on the heels of a U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills last year, and an upcoming U.S. Open at Winged Foot Golf Club. We've seen a number of companies come up with cool apparel to commemorate it. This week at Liberty National, one of the cooler things we've seen were some custom-designed Puma shoes worn by Bryson DeChambeau, which give an appropriate nod to the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline, both of which are visible from most spots on the course. Bryson also has his signature cap affixed with the swatch.

Plans are underway to redesign the Middle Branch waterfront in south Baltimore. City officials are asking for the public's help to choose a design. Three landscape architecture firms developed plans for transforming the waterfront into a recreational and natural space along more than 11 miles of the Patapsco River shoreline. The proposals will be reviewed and recommendations will be made to Baltimore Mayor Jack Young. "This is an opportunity for nature itself to connect communities who have historically divided or separated. This is an opportunity for Brooklyn, Cherry Hill and Westport to come together in recreation," said Michael Middleton, chairman of the SB7 Coalition Inc. The designs are on display at the Enoch Pratt Free Library Cherry Hill Branch and at City Garage through June 12 and online here .

Serie A champions Juventus have made a formal £58.3m bid for Ajax captain Matthijs de Ligt and showed a £10.7m-a-season contract to the player's agent, Mino Raiola. The 19-year-old centre-back is one of the most coveted players in Europe after not only breaking through in Amsterdam, but also becoming a star of last season's Champions League campaign and establishing himself alongside Virgil van Dijk at international level. De Ligt has been targeted most notably by three European giants this summer including Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, but it's Italian champions Juventus who have now made a formal approach to sign him ahead of the new season. Sky in Italy (via Sky Sports ) claim that the Bianconeri have made an initial £49.3m offer to sign the teenage defender this summer, with a further £9m being available through performance-based add-ons. Juventus are still some way off matching Ajax's reported £67.3m (€75m) asking price, while Paris Saint-Germain have already agreed to match the fee with officials in Amsterdam. Juve are looking to play hardball with Ajax as they believe De Ligt has his heart set on a move to Turin, but having already made close to £45m net this summer the Dutch champions are unlikely to budge too much on their valuation. Rabiot and Ramsey for nowt, Ronaldo in a deal which paid for itself commercially, £70m for De Ligt, who could be a mainstay in the defence for 10+ years... Juventus really know their way around the transfer market these days.   Si Lloyd (@SmnLlyd5) July 2, 2019 Dutch outlet AD add that Ajax are now expecting De Ligt to return for the start of pre-season on Monday, even though they've spent the majority of this year looking ahead to the 2019/20 campaign without the teenager in their plans. De Ligt's notorious super-agent Raiola has also been shown details of the £10.7m-a-season contract which is on offer at Juventus. While talks with Ajax look set to roll on for the foreseeable future, Juventus are on the cusp of officially announcing the return of legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon .

Four adults and one infant were injured in a Tuesday evening crash on the Ronald Reagan Cross Country Highway, authorities said. The crash happened around 5 p.m. Tuesday near Hamilton Avenue, shutting down the highway in both directions for more than three hours. Investigators said four cars were involved in the crash and two medical helicopters were called to the scene. Police said one person is critically hurt, and all the victims were taken to University Hospital. Witnesses reported some drivers were trapped, saying the scene shook them to the core. Calls from drivers on Ronald Reagan Highway flooded Hamilton County 911 just before 5 p.m. "A car came across the median from the eastbound lane and there's several cars. I don't know how many people are hurt," a caller told dispatchers. Drivers who called 911 described an eastbound maroon sedan crossing a grassy median and going airborne directly into a Volkswagen Passat in the westbound fast lane. Witnesses said that caused a chain reaction crash, with a total of four cars involved. "The car was driving behind me and it, all of a sudden, went over the median and went head-on into the oncoming traffic," another caller told 911 dispatchers. Some callers reported people getting out of their cars to try to free the crash victims. "This is a serious scene. I mean, when you have somebody airlifted that's in critical condition, the potential for a fatality auto accident exists, and we want to make sure that we thoroughly document and investigate the scene," Mount Healthy police Sgt. Greg Nolte said. The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office Traffic Unit is leading the investigation. The circumstances that led to the crash remain unclear.

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff trusts Valtteri Bottas won't suffer a confidence slump over his Formula 1 prospects this year, despite another weekend where a good result has slipped from his grasp. The Finn had looked strong throughout practice for the Monaco Grand Prix, but lost out in the fight for pole position when dealing with traffic on his out-lap in Q3 meant his tyres were not in the best shape. His hopes of challenging Lewis Hamilton for the win in the race were then dashed when he clashed with Max Verstappen in the pits and suffered a puncture. Having slipped to 17 points behind Hamilton in the title standings, the momentum of his championship campaign has begun to slow   and it was that scenario last year that triggered a drop away in his form. But Wolff is convinced that Bottas is a much-changed man this year and sees no danger of him losing confidence. Asked by Motorsport.com how Bottas would deal with the Monaco disappointment, Wolff said: "Valtteri 2019 is going to get out of it stronger. "I think he has shown huge resilience and determination in these last races. The speed was mind-boggling [on Saturday] and I have no doubt about this, that it's going to annoy the hell out of him, and he's going to come back very, very strong in Montreal." Read Also: Why Bottas and F1 should fear "struggling" Hamilton While Bottas was clearly disappointed about needing to change tyres after suffering the puncture, he confessed afterwards that he feared stopping again would put him to the back of the field. "Honestly, I thought that when I got the puncture and had to stop again, that I was going to be at the back of the grid but luckily only lost a couple of places," he explained. "So, unlucky but lucky at the same time. It could have been a lot worse. Still important points, obviously disappointing going backwards from where you start from   but sometimes it goes like this."


This potential move will very likely leave a mark in Blacksburg. Citing sources with knowledge of the situation, both the Roanoke Times and the Hampton Roads Daily Press have both reported that Bryce Watts is entering his name into the NCAA transfer database. According to one of the reports, the cornerback's decision to move on from the Hokies is a very personal one for the New Jersey native. A source familiar with the program says #Hokies CB Bryce Watts has entered the transfer portal. Watts and his girlfriend had a gender reveal announcement in March that he posted on Twitter, so it's believed he's trying to get back closer to home in New Jersey.   Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) May 30, 2019 Subsequent to those reports surfacing, Watts confirmed in a Twitter posting that he has decided to transfer. "My decision to transfer is not due to any negativities regarding the coaching staff," Watts wrote. "I had every opportunity afforded to me, and I'm incredibly thankful for that." 🖤 pic.twitter.com/y2WbnyvcEi   🤷🏽♂ (@BryceWatts2_6) May 31, 2019 Watts was a three-star 2017 signee. After appearing in all 13 games as a true freshman, Watts started all 12 games in which he appeared for the Hokies in 2018. His six pass breakups this past season were tied for second on the team.

Family and friends gathered Wednesday morning to pay tribute to famed auto executive Lee Iacocca. Iacocca died last week at his home in Bel Air, California. He was 94. The funeral mass, which took place at St. Hugo of the Hills Church in Bloomfield Hills, was celebrated by Monsignor Anthony Tocco. Among the readings during the funeral service was "The souls of the just are in the hands of God" from the Book of Wisdom and "If I have all the eloquence of men or of angels but speak without love I am simply a gong booming or a cymbal clashing" from the First letter of Paul to the Corinthians. The eulogy was delivered by Monsignor Howard Lincoln of Sacred Heart Church in Palm Desert, Calif., where Iacocca was a member of the parish. "For decades, Lee's feet and hands moved mountains," Lincoln told those at the service. "Lee always seemed to me to never really be down," he continued. "Somehow even at the darkest hours, I think he knew somehow even Chrysler would work out." Lincoln continued, "Lee knew that this life was his once in a lifetime opportunity and he wanted his life to matter. ... He was an elevating influence for our parish. I think he saw the importance of being kind and courteous to everybody. ... 'Yes', he said, I've had a wonderful and successful career but next to my family it doesn't matter at all.' " After remarks by family members recalling Iacocca's love of Christmas and family gatherings, the service concluded with the hymn "How Great Thou Art" with its refrain "Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee, how great Thou art! How great Thou art!" A great career During the height of his career in the 1980s, Iacocca was arguably the most popular business figure in the world. Pictures of him, often with his trademark cigar, were on magazine covers and TV screens. During his career, he was credited both with creating the iconic Ford Mustang and, later, for persuading Congress to bail out a bankruptcy Chrysler in the late 1970s. More: Lee Iacocca dies: Father of Mustang, rescuer of Chrysler was 94 Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, the successor to Iacocca's Chrysler, aptly called Iacocca "one of the great leaders of our company and the auto industry as a whole. ... He also played a profound and tireless role on the national stage as a business statesman and philanthropist. Lee gave us a mindset that still drives us today   one that is characterized by hard work, dedication and grit." Iacocca was to be buried at White Chapel Cemetery in Troy.
