OM v Rennes: a dramatic night for former Marseille players 😭

Determined to hurt his former club, the first opened the scoring with a long-distance shot that completely stunned Geronimo Rulli.
But the evening then took another turn for Ismaël Koné, who quickly became guilty of a handball in his penalty area. A penalty then converted by Mason Greenwood.
A few minutes later, it was the unfortunate Lilian Brassier who in turn committed a handball in the Rennes area. Fortunately for him, this time Brice Samba stopped the penalty from the Olympian striker.

How Americans are doing in the Tour de France so far
The five Americans riding in the Tour de France this year are showing well with a little more than a week to go in the 21-day bike race. While none are contending for the overall title, they continue to work for their teams, often riding at the front of the peloton or among the race leaders as the Tour headed into the Pyrenees this week. The race will end July 27 in Paris. Quinn Simmons, of Durango, Colorado, had some fun Friday in the stage 13 individual time trial, a short but grueling climb between Loudenvielle and Peyragudes in southern France. Simmons, who has ridden at the front of the peloton or in breakaways since the opening stage, held back on the mountain time trial. He slapped hands with spectators along the barricades lining the road as he pedaled uphill to the finish line — not something pro riders ordinarily do. 'I think Quinn's already burned a few books of matches, so I think today the biggest goal would be to not burn too many matches,' his father Scott Simmons told NBC Sport before the stage. Simmons, who rides for Lidl-Trek, sits in 45th place among the 171 riders still in the race, just over an 1 hour, 13 minutes behind overall leader and defending champion Tadej Pogačar. Here's a look at how the other four Americans in the Tour de France are faring: Matteo Jorgenson, of Boise, Idaho, has risen to as high as fifth place in the overall standings as he continues to lead out teammate Jonas Vingegaard, a two-time Tour champion and Pogačar's chief rival. Jorgenson dropped to 10th after what he called a 'really bad day' in the mountains Thursday. 'Personally, I have no excuses. I just had a really bad day, knew from the start already,' the Visma-Lease a Bike rider told reporters. Jorgenson bounced back with a stellar time trial Friday, putting up the the sixth-fastest time, 2 minutes, 3 seconds behind the winner Pogačar. He's still a threat to win a stage in the last week. Jorgenson's teammate, Durango, Colorado, native Sepp Kuss, has struggled some on the Tour but ranks 20th overall as he continues to be a key domestique — a rider who shields the team leader, sets the pace and tempo and provides food and water bottles — for Vingegaard, who is second overall in the race. Neilson Powless, of Roseville, California, set his sights to win a stage in the 2025 Tour de France. That hasn't happened, but his team has enjoyed a successful race so far. His EF Education-Easypost teammate Irishman Ben Healy won stage six and then snagged the yellow jersey as the overall race leader for a couple of days. But Powless, in 50th place overall, did get a win of sorts for helping to free teammate Kasper Asgreen, who was trapped in the bathroom on the team bus after the door became stuck. "@neilsonpowlesswins the stage 2 MVP award for his performance on and off the bike. 🙃 happy you made it to the start Kaspy," the team posted on Instagram. Tour de France rookie Will Barta, of Boise, Idaho, joined a breakaway in one of the early stages and has performed well for his Movistar team. 'Week 1 of the Tour✅Good times and hard times, but I've really enjoyed it🙌🏼Onto the 2nd week and mountains we go🤠," he posted on Instagram after the first week.

Simone Biles, Suni Lee, And Other Stars Missing From U.S. Classic Lineup
PARIS, FRANCE - JULY 28: Simone Biles of Team United States waves as she is joined by members of ... More Team United States following Subdivision 2 during the Artistic Gymnastics Women's Qualification on day two of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 at Bercy Arena on July 28, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by) The U.S. Classic returns to Hoffman Estates, Illinois, on July 18–19, but for the first time since 2022, the winner is guaranteed to be an athlete other than Simone Biles. Biles won the title in 2024, followed by five-time World medalist Shilese Jones and eventual two-time Olympic teammate Jordan Chiles in third. Biles has won the crown seven times in her storied career. In fact, not one of 2024's podium finishers will compete this weekend. Seven-time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles has not yet indicated intent to return to gymnastics. Instead, the sport's most decorated athlete just returned home from a victorious ESPY Awards, where she won the awards for Best Female Athlete and Best Championship Performance. 'I'm really enjoying my time off before I decide (on competing),' Biles told in April. Shilese Jones was almost guaranteed a bid for the 2024 Olympic team but ultimately lost her spot due to an untimely injury at the U.S. Olympic Trials. Instead, the former World all-around silver and bronze medalist will appear at this weekend's event as a coach, helping guide younger athletes at the Hopes Championships. The 22-year-old has appeared at a pair of U.S. National Team camps this year, but has not shown full routines or outlined a return. Jordan Chiles wrapped a spectacular season with the UCLA Bruins in April. The then-junior led the team to a Big Ten Championship and National Runner-Up title, picking up an individual win on the uneven bars. Though Chiles has shown impressive training footage, the 24-year-old has not yet expressed her intent to return to the elite ranks and remains focused on her incoming senior year with the Bruins. Two-time Olympic Champions Suni Lee and Jade Carey also remain undecided on their returns to the competitive stage. Lee claimed hardware alongside Biles at last week's ESPYS, winning the award for Best Comeback Athlete. The Minnesota native has made numerous promotional appearances at sporting events nationwide. Jade Carey wrapped a near-perfect career with the Oregon State Beavers in April and appears to be still training. However, like Chiles, the Olympic and World Champion has not shown full routines or expressed a clear intent to return. Though she fell short of the Olympic team due to another untimely Achilles tear, two-time World team champion Skye Blakely is set to make her elite return at August's U.S. Championships in New Orleans. Tiana Sumanasekera, one of the 2024 Olympic alternates, will also return to the stage in August, opting to skip the U.S. Classic to nurse a nagging ankle injury. Who's Competing In Chicago As a result, the only member of the gold medal-winning team to compete this weekend is the youngest athlete from the 2024 U.S. Olympic delegation, 17-year-old Hezly Rivera. Rivera headlines a young and relatively inexperienced competitive field that will star 2024 Olympic alternates Leanne Wong and Joscelyn Roberson. Wong, a World all-around silver medalist, won the title in 2022 and is expected to contend for her second win this weekend. As one of the few premier meets of the U.S. elite gymnastics season, the U.S. Classic has long been a key meet for athletes to test their readiness and build experience heading into August's Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships. The 'Classic' also serves as the final qualifier for athletes seeking berths to the championships. Click here to find out how to watch the event.

History Buff Peyton Manning Brings His Curiosity To ‘The Mega-Brands That Built America'
Working on creating the Polaroid camera on "the Mega Brands That Built America." There are many things that are known about former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning — that he spent 14 years as a professional player, that he's a five time Most Valuable Player, and has won two Super Bowls — but what most people might not be aware of is that he's fascinated with that past. 'I think if you ask my mother or any of my teachers growing up, they would tell you that history was always one of my favorite subjects, so I guess you could say I've always been a little bit of a history buff,' he reveals. Manning's affection for history is now coming in handy as he's executing producing the series The Mega-Brands That Built America. The series explores the surprising origin stories behind some of the world's biggest brands including Home Depot, Levi's, Apple, Kodak, Amazon, Target and more. Blending archival footage, original recreations, and expert interviews, the nonfiction series offers captivating portrayals of the most iconic brands across retail, electronics, automobiles, and more, with a focus on their trailblazing founders whose ingenuity, passion, and fearlessness created groundbreaking innovations that revolutionized our nation. The Mega-Brands That Built America is produced by Omaha Productions and Lucky 8 for The History Channel. PARIS, FRANCE - JULY 26: Peyton Manning attends the red carpet ahead of the opening ceremony of the ... More Olympic Games Paris 2024 on July 26, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by) Describing his role in the series, Manning admits, 'I am not front and center of and that's something that I really like. I like being part of a show that I'm not the quarterback, if you will. You'll see me pop up here and there, but we have historians, professors, journalists, and the entrepreneurs guiding the viewer throughout the series, and those experts really teach the lesson in each episode, my role would be more of the everyday consumer. I talk about how I interact with these brands and products in my everyday life.' However, this isn't to say that Manning isn't doing the behind-the-scenes work. "I generally like to help with the guest booking, join on the pitch meetings, and I watch the rough cuts and kind of give my two cents and thoughts where I can help. [Now]He quickly adds, 'But I also like the fact that [this series] has people smarter than me, that are experts in this space, that know what's best and what's going to make a great show. So we have a good collaborative team." Manning says that he's learned a lot working on the series, but one of the things about a brand that he found particularly interesting is that, 'In the late 1990's there was a new Home Depot opening every 53 hours in the continental United States. That's pretty fascinating to me. We're all so familiar with a big brand like Home Depot, but it just wasn't around 40 years ago, so I thought that was cool.' Along these lines, Manning points out about the series that, 'I promise that you'll learn something new in every episode. We're all familiar with names like Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos today, but the show really takes viewers to the early days of these huge companies and how they built their businesses. And, it's great to watch as a family. My kids watch it. They learn something. My wife and I learn something. It's a good show to watch with your family' He feels that The Mega-Brands That Built America is timely as well, saying, 'This show is so topical because we interact with these brands every single day in our day to day lives.' While he may be known for his on-field accomplishments, in this case Manning is happy to be, in a sense, a bit more on the sidelines, as he concludes, 'I love being a part of shows that are outside of sports, and one of the core tenants at Omaha Productions is that we want to champion hard work, and that is exactly what this series is all about. We're celebrating the hard work of all the people behind the scenes at these huge brands that have literally built America.' 'The Mega-Brands That Built America' airs Sundays at 10/9c on the History Channel and episodes are available for streaming the next day at
