England hit Jamaica for seven in perfect Euros preparation
The Lionesses were looking to gather some momentum before they face a tough opener against France in Switzerland next Saturday. Ella Toone struck twice either side of Lucy Bronze's header to give Sarina Wiegman's side a commanding half-time lead. Georgia Stanway, Alessia Russo, Aggie Beever-Jones and Beth Mead were on target after the break. But the biggest cheer of the night was arguably reserved for Lauren James as the Chelsea star played her first minutes since suffering a hamstring injury in April as a second-half substitute. James, sister of Chelsea men's captain Reece James, is likely to be key if England are to defend their crown as European champions. England's preparation for the tournament had been rocked by the shock international retirement of goalkeeper Mary Earps and Millie Bright, who had captained the side to the World Cup final in 2023, withdrawing due physical and emotional fatigue. But Wiegman said she is excited at what a blend of new faces and experienced winners from Euro 2022 can produce. "I think there is huge potential in this squad and we have many options," said the Dutch coach. "I am most of all excited about the team. We've had two weeks of training and it was really good. You can feel the fight and we want to go to the Euros and play."

Spain, Netherlands Capture Historic Titles at FIBA 3x3 World Cup 2025
Mohamed Mandour Spain and the Netherlands clinched their first-ever FIBA 3x3 World Cup titles on Sunday after a dramatic final day in Ulaanbaatar, capping off a week of high-intensity basketball that drew more than 50,000 fans to the Mongolian capital. In the men's final, Spain defeated Switzerland 21-17 behind a dominant performance from Diego De Blas, who knocked down four two-pointers and set the early tone for the Spaniards. De Blas gave Spain a 10-5 lead just three minutes into the contest, and continued to shine on both ends of the court. With 2:21 remaining, De Blas brought Spain to the brink of victory before Iván Aurrecoechea sealed the win with a powerful dunk — a moment that etched Spain's name into 3x3 history with its first World Cup crown. The women's final saw the Netherlands overcome host nation Mongolia, who had captured hearts with their underdog run to the championship game. Led by world No. 1 Noortje Driessen, the Dutch squad applied relentless defensive pressure and built a commanding lead. A step-back two-pointer from Driessen pushed the margin to eight with three minutes left, all but sealing Mongolia's fate. Despite a late push and their first two-pointer of the game with just 90 seconds on the clock, the home side couldn't close the gap. The Netherlands held firm to claim their maiden title, confirming their status as the world's top-ranked team. The 2025 edition of the FIBA 3x3 World Cup delivered unforgettable moments and milestone victories, setting a new benchmark for the sport's global rise. read more Japan Stun Spain 2-1 to Qualify for World Cup Last 16 World Cup 2022: Get to Know Confirmed Line-ups of Japan and Spain Group E Decider Saudi Arabia Bid Farewell to World Cup after 2-1 Loss to Mexico Tunisia Achieve Historic Win over France but Fail to Qualify Tunisia to Clash against France in World Cup Sports Get to Know Squad of Group D Teams in World Cup Sports Al Ahly Gift EGP 70,000 to Players After Claiming Egyptian Super Cup Title Sports Bencharki Hits First 2 Goals with Al Jazira Since Leaving Zamalek Sports Arsenal Possible Line-up for Nottingham Forest News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

F1 2025: Apologetic Antonelli given Silverstone grid drop for Verstappen incident in Austria
Mercedes rookie Andrea Kimi Antonelli was given a three-place grid drop for the British Grand Prix after dumping Formula One champion Max Verstappen out of Red Bull's home race in Austria on Sunday. The 18-year-old Italian rookie lost control and collided with the four-time champion on the opening lap, after narrowly missing Racing Bulls' Liam Lawson, with neither able to continue. It was Verstappen's first retirement of the season and left him still third in the championship but now 61 points adrift of McLaren's Oscar Piastri after 11 of 24 rounds. Piastri finished second in a McLaren one-two with race winner Lando Norris. 'I braked hard because I was behind other cars, and in that moment I locked the rears. Then I just couldn't stop the car,' said Antonelli, who had taken his first career F1 podium in the previous round in Canada. 'The car was just taking speed and the crash was inevitable. I just feel super sorry to the team, and to Max of course, because obviously he was just a passenger.' Stewards ruled that Antonelli was fully at fault and also gave him two penalty points. At a circuit where he has won a record five times, Verstappen had started seventh on the grid, with Antonelli lining up ninth.

'It's just unlucky, like yesterday in qualifying,' he told Sky Sports television later. 'But overall, we didn't really have that great pace anyway this weekend, so a lot of learning for us on how we can hopefully do better next weekend. My mentality doesn't change. We've won a lot in the past. Sometimes you have to accept that you are not winning, and we just try to do the best that we can.' The retirement ended a run of 31 grands prix in the points for the Dutch driver, whose fans throng in their thousands to the Red Bull Ring but this time never got to see him race.
