Lacked cutting edge... Inter set record for shots but only manage a draw
Internacional had volume, but failed to turn it into a win against Vasco on Sunday (27). According to Opta data, Colorado finished 27 times, its highest mark in the tournament since August 2016, when they attempted 30 shots in a match against São Paulo. Was the insistence worth it? Not really. Despite the high number of attempts, Inter scored only one goal. Most of the shots came from outside the box or in unfavorable conditions. There was a lack of precision in the choices and efficiency in the execution. The draw frustrates the fans, mainly due to the dominance on the field and the revived offensive history after almost nine years. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Bolton football's Joshua Henderson, 16, dies after complications from heat stroke
Joshua Henderson, a Bolton High School football player who'd been hospitalized since collapsing during a July 7 practice, died on July 26, Memphis Shelby County Schools announced in a statement on July 27. "It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of a beloved Bolton High School (BHS) student, Joshua Henderson," said MSCS. "He was not only an exceptional athlete and dedicated scholar, but also a source of light and joy to all who knew him. His kindness, determination, and positive spirit left a lasting impression on classmates, teachers, and our entire BHS community." On a GoFundMe page being used to raise money for funeral expenses, Henderson's family wrote that he suffered a severe heat stroke and had been receiving treatment at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital. "After bravely fighting for his life in the hospital, Josh transitioned due to complications from organ failure caused by a severe heat stroke," the family wrote. "Josh was only 16 years old, full of life, laughter, and promise. He was deeply loved by his parents, siblings, extended family, and all who knew him. His sudden loss has left our hearts shattered and our world forever changed." MSCS said that grief counselors and support staff will be available at the school in the coming days for any students in need. Bolton finished 8-3 last season, and is slated to begin it's season vs. White Station on Aug. 22. Wendell Shepherd Jr. is The Commercial Appeal's high school sports beat writer.
