Claire Hutton scores first international goal to help the United States beat Canada 3-0
The Americans have won five straight friendlies by a combined score of 18-0 since their 2-1 loss to Brazil in early April. The 19-year-old Hutton was making her sixth appearance for the national team, and her goal in the 36th minute gave the U.S. a 2-0 lead.
Ryan completed the scoring in the 89th minute.
It was the third game in seven days for the U.S., which beat Ireland 4-0 in each of the other two. Coach Emma Hayes' starting lineup against Canada included 10 changes from the second game against Ireland.
Lynn Biyendolo, the lone player to start both of those games, slipped behind the defense for an early chance but missed the net. Moments later, she had a header saved by Canadian goalie Kailen Sheridan.
The U.S. opened the scoring in the 17th minute when Rose Lavelle delivered a free kick into the penalty area from near the left sideline. Canada's Janine Sonis tried to head clear, but the ball fell to Avery Patterson and then bounced to Coffey about 9 yards from the goal.
Both Coffey and Patterson stabbed at the ball, and both appeared to make contact with it. It went straight into the net. Coffey was credited with the goal and Patterson with an assist.

The U.S. scored on another set piece when Canada gave Hutton too much room at the edge of the 6-yard box, and she headed in Lavelle's corner kick. Claudia Dickey, who also shut out Ireland in her international debut last Thursday, stopped a shot from in close by Canada's Jordyn Huitema shortly after Coffey's goal. But the Americans created far more chances.
Lavelle received a standing ovation when she was subbed out around the midway point of the second half. The crowd also gave a big cheer when Tara McKeown — who plays locally for the Washington Spirit — came on as a late sub for the U.S. McKeown assisted on Ryan's goal.
The U.S. plays friendlies against South Korea on September 6 in Harrison, New Jersey, and against Japan on September 9 in Columbus, Ohio.

Women's EURO 2025: Spain thrashes Portugal 5-0; Italy beats Belgium 1-0 in Group B clashes
Esther González scored twice as world champion Spain delivered a strong statement by routing Portugal 5-0 in their Women's European Championship opener on Thursday. The 32-year-old González became the oldest player to play for Spain at the tournament and scored minutes before the youngest, 18-year-old Vicky López, added the second goal. Spain captain Alexia Putellas also scored for La Roja, showing she's ready to lead the team to success after missing Euro 2022 with a knee injury. Spain lost to eventual winner England in the quarterfinals of that tournament. Substitute Cristina Martin-Prieto completed the scoring with a header in stoppage time.

It quickly became apparent that the Portugal goalkeeper would have a busy game. She did. Pereira did well to clear a cross but was unable to stop Mariona Caldentey giving López a tap-in minutes later. Only 24 minutes were played when the fans started a Mexican wave around the nearly 30,000-capacity Wankdorf Stadium, normally home to Swiss Super League team Young Boys. Spain dominated possession in a textbook first-half display. Teammates' work off the ball ensured there was always a passing option. No player had the ball for long as it zipped around, and the Portuguese players were left to chase it.

The fourth came two minutes later when González tucked in the rebound after Pina's cross came back off the post. But Spain coach Montse Tomé may have concerns about her team's second-half performance as her players' level of control dropped. Martin-Prieto's late goal was the only addition. The game was preceded by a moment's silence for Portugal and Liverpool forward Diogo Jota, killed in a car crash with his brother the night before. Rest in peace, Diogo Jota and André Silva 🤍 — UEFA Women's EURO 2025 (@WEURO2025) July 3, 2025 Caruso nets winner in Italy vs Belgium Italy secured what could prove to be a pivotal opening victory in the Women's European Championship by beating Belgium 1-0 on Thursday. Arianna Caruso scored on the stroke of half-time to give Italy an advantage in a tough Group B, which World Cup winner Spain is expected to top. The first two in the group will progress to the quarterfinals, and Belgium, Italy and Portugal will likely face a close battle for second. Two-time runner-up at the Euros, Italy hasn't reached the knockout stage since 2013. Italy plays Portugal on Monday and Spain four days later. Next up for Belgium is the world champion. Thursday's victory was also revenge for Italy, which lost to Belgium in the group stage at Euro 2022 and came into the match on a streak of three straight defeats to the Red Flames. Italy's Arianna Caruso celebrates scoring during the EURO 2025 match between Belgium and Italy at Stade de Tourbillon in Sion, Switzerland. | Photo Credit: AP UEFA announced earlier that a minute's silence would be observed at Euro 2025 matches on Thursday and Friday in memory of Portugal and Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother, who were killed in a car accident in Spain. That was observed impeccably at a packed Stade de Tourbillon in Sion.

The biggest threat came from Belgium captain and all-time top goalscorer Tessa Wullaert, and the Inter Milan forward had the best chance five minutes from the break. Her initial shot was blocked, and she then sent her second attempt just wide of the left post. Italy broke the deadlock just four minutes later. Lucia Di Guglielmo picked out Caruso, who had been left completely unmarked on the edge of the area by the Belgian defence, and the Bayern Munich midfielder advanced into the left side of the box before cutting in and curling into the near top corner.

Brittany Mahomes gets surprise message from Baker Mayfield's wife after sending unexpected gift package
Baker Mayfield's wife sends warm response to unexpected gift from Brittany Mahomes (Getty Images) The Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills might have one of the most intense rivalries on the football field, but when it comes to the women behind the athletes, the narrative shifts dramatically. Far from the drama of touchdowns and tackles, NFL WAGs (Wives and Girlfriends) are proving that camaraderie off the field runs deeper than any rivalry. Leading this unexpected bridge-building is none other than Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes. Brittany Mahomes and Baker Mayfield's wife surprise fans with wholesome NFL WAGs moment While fans at Arrowhead and Highmark Stadium might exchange heated words, Brittany is busy spreading kindness – and protein shakes. This week, a surprise gift from her to Emily Mayfield, wife of Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield, melted hearts and added a new layer to the NFL WAGs' growing bond. Emily took to Instagram to share the thoughtful OWYN (Only What You Need) PR package from Brittany. The gift included three OWYN Double Shot Protein Coffee Shakes, a Target gift card, a sleek tumbler, and a heartfelt typed note. 'I am so excited to share my latest obsession with you – OWYN Double Shot Protein Coffee Shakes that are now available at Target,' Brittany wrote. 'These shakes are a serious game changer for kick-starting my morning workouts or making it through the day as a busy mom. ' Baker Mayfield's wife publicly acknowledges Brittany Mahomes (Image via Instagram/emilywmayfield) The moment was captured perfectly as Emily shared a video unboxing the gift with Sammy Wilk's 'Mrs. Perfect' playing in the background, tagging both Brittany and OWYN. It wasn't just a gift—it was a gesture that reflected genuine friendship and support, transcending team loyalties. But Brittany's influence goes far beyond gifting. Her collaboration with OWYN is rooted in a deeply personal cause—her son, Bronze, has severe peanut allergies. In December 2023, Brittany and OWYN pledged $100,000 to FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education). 'I'm proud to partner with OWYN,' she said. 'This cause is near to my heart… improving the lives of 33 million Americans with food allergies.' Paige Loren, wife of Bills QB Shane Buechele, has also shown public admiration for Brittany's partnership with OWYN. She recently shared her excitement over receiving a PR box, writing, 'I'm so excited about this PR box because one, it's from my girlfriend and two, I actually introduced her to these protein shakes… Brittany loves these, they genuinely taste so good!' Brittany responded with a warm 'I love you' and a smiling emoji—proof that friendships can flourish even in the heart of a gridiron rivalry. It's a refreshing reminder that while the NFL has always been known for its on-field rivalries and dynasties—like the Cowboys' legendary run in the '90s—off the field, the game is being changed by women who are using their platforms to connect, uplift, and inspire. Whether through fitness, philanthropy, or friendship, Brittany Mahomes and her fellow NFL WAGs are proving that the most powerful plays aren't always made on Sundays.

From The Hindu, July 4, 1975: Connors, Ashe to meet in finals
London, July 3: Defending champion Jimmy Cornors and Arthur Ashe won their semi-finals in the nearly Rs. 19.6 lakhs Wimbledon tennis championships to-day and became the first Americans to meet in the finals since Jack Kramer beat Tom Brown way back in 1947. Top seed Connors in a display of tennis mastery that awed the capacity of 15,000 in Centre Court tamed Roscoe Tanner's 140 mile-an-hour service with a dazzling display of ground strokes and beat him in 75 minutes 6-4, 6-1, 6-4. In the other semi-final, sixth seeded Ashe beat Australia's 16th seed, Torry Roche, in a comparatively tedious two hour and 50 minute marathon 5-7, 6-4, 7-5, 8-9, 6-4. Connors, an overwhelming favourite to beat Ashe, now is better than even money to become the first champion since 1938 to win the singles without the loss of a set.
