Notre Dame's Hannah Hidalgo powers USA past Chile
The Fighting Irish guard had a strong stat line against Chile. Hannah Hidalgo vs Chile:14 PTS3 RBS4 AST3 STL☘️☘️ Hannah Hidalgo had a nice stat line for Team USA versus Chile in the 2025 FIBA Women's AmeriCup. The Notre Dame guard had 14 points, three rebounds, four assists and three steals against the host country. Team USA rolled Chile 108-47 to open play. Hidalgo is one 12 players on the roster, along with former Fighting Irish teammate Olivia Miles, who has transferred to Texas Christian. Team USA is seeking its first AmeriCup title since 2021. It lost to Brazil in the 2023 final. If Hidalgo continues to put up numbers like that, the chances of another American title are bright.

Football or Fútbol? Making the Best Soccer Team of NFL Players
Arguments over which professional athletes could excel at other sports have long been debated. Would LeBron James actually have made it to the NFL as a tight end? Could Patrick Mahomes have had as successful a career in Major League Baseball, following in his father's footsteps? Can anyone else play hockey? Even though American football is our country's biggest sport, it's another kind of football that's the largest around the world. Hundreds of millions of people play soccer regularly, according to multiple studies over the last couple of decades, while billions consume the sport in some fashion. As teams are qualifying for spots in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico, that got us thinking: How strong of a soccer team could we make using players from America's most popular sport? And would that team be good enough to qualify for a spot in the FIFA World Cup? We won't debate the second question, but there are several players around the NFL who have a skill or two that we think could translate from the gridiron to the pitch. So, here's what my team of football players playing fútbol would look like: Strikers (2): Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua These guys have to be playmakers, plain and simple. Two of the first names that come to mind are two of the league's best receivers. They have to be fast, too. I love the combination of Justin Jefferson and Puka Nacua on a soccer field. They'd be pretty complementary on a football field, too. Midfielders (4): Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson Tampa Bay Buccaneers S Antoine Winfield Jr. Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs Midfielders need to have vision — and speed. They also need to have stamina and burst. That's why I looked on both sides of the ball for players who possess such a dynamic skill set. Running backs Saquon Barkley and Jahmyr Gibbs are phenomenal athletes with vision. Safety Antoine Winfield Jr. is rangy and has the same. And Lamar Jackson makes the cut as the lone quarterback on this list, probably putting him dead center. Defenders (4): Denver Broncos CB Pat Surtain II San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle Ravens S Kyle Hamilton Houston Texans CB Derek Stingley Jr. Defenders need to have length, which lends itself to the same in American football. This group is mostly made up of long, rangy defensive backs that can counter any offensive attacks. I threw George Kittle on there, too, because the body type of tight ends, especially fast, wideout-like ones, can absolutely stand up to offensive pressure. Plus, he would just be fun. He's got the attitude of a soccer defender already. Goalkeeper: Cleveland Browns edge Myles Garrett My eyes lit up when I thought of this one. Myles Garrett is a freak athlete and takes up a ton of space. He has the athleticism to go from one end of the goal to the other, and he's also got the mentality worthy of a goalkeeper. Could you imagine Garrett staring you down? It's enough to make anyone run the other direction, much less try and score on him. Carmen Vitali is an NFL Reporter for FOX Sports.

Citing storm delays, Chelsea coach asks whether some American cities are "the right place" to play
The Club World Cup is happening currently in multiple American cities. The weather is prompting some to ask whether certain American cities should be excluded from such events. After a 113-minute weather delay in Charlotte on Saturday, Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca sounded off about the situation. 'For me personally it's not football,' Maresca said, via Oliver Kay of 'It's already seven, eight, nine games that they suspended. It's a joke to be honest, it's not football. It's not for us. You cannot be inside. I can understand that for security reasons, you are to suspend the game. But if you suspend seven, eight games, that means it is probably not the right place to do this competition.' During the Club World Cup, six games have been delayed due to weather. Three delays lasted longer than an hour. Maresca's point is that a delay changes the fundamental nature of the game, which features mostly non-stop action for a pair of 45-minute halves. 'The problem is that when the game is suspended, it's not football,' he said. 'Guys, it's not football. You suspend the game, it's not football. It's completely something different. So I'm happy, very happy. But at the same time, there are things that you struggle to understand for two hours before the game and then go again. And you see it. They scored because they need to chase. We are inside, we are winning. You go outside, mentally different. It's difficult.' He has no problem with the competition. His concern is that the number of delays has altered the nature of the games. 'It's not normal to suspend a game,' Maresca said. 'In a World Cup, how many games are suspended? Zero, probably. In Europe, how many games? Zero.' Well, next year's World Cup could have some suspensions. The games will be played from June 11 through July 19. And several American cities that experience thunderstorms will be hosting open-air games, including Kansas City, Boston, Philadelphia, and Miami. Then there's New Jersey. Which will be hosting the World Cup Final. So if a weather delay makes non-American football not non-American football, there could be some non-non-American football in America next summer.
