Boateng mulls keeping his kids away from stadiums due to racism
Former Germany defender Jérôme Boateng is considering not letting his children go to watch him play in stadiums in Austria after receiving racist abuse.
The 36-year-old joined LASK last year but accused his own fans of racist abuse towards him in the 1-0 loss at Grazer AK earlier this month.

"I've experienced it across my career - even in my youth. It was towards me recently, but it has also been against my team-mates with a different skin colour. It's not acceptable in any way," 2014 World Cup winner Boateng told Sport1 on Wednesday.
"Racism has no place at all. You have to talk about it and not look away. Insults are one thing, but racist abuse is another level. There are children in the stadium - including mine. I have to think about whether I still let my children into the stadium."

Euro 2025: Tears for Italy and hope for the future after emotional semifinals loss to England
GENEVA (AP) — Tears, distress and disbelief. Italy captain Cristiana Girelli and defender Lucia Di Guglielmo cried as they walked around the field after an emotional semifinal loss — 2-1 after extra time to England on Tuesday — each with one arm around the other's waist. They waved goodbye to fans and their shared Women's European Championship title hopes inside Stade de Genève, which had been a joyous second home for them in Switzerland. Less than hour earlier, Italy had been little more than one minute away from advancing to a final few had imagined. 'I feel that something has ended that we didn't want to end, because I still don't believe it's over,' the 35-year-old Girelli said, in tears again in the player interview area. 'Probably fate has been a little cruel to us.' Goalkeeper's grief Goalkeeper Laura Guilani had been alone with her emotions after fulltime, face down on the turf in midfield. It would have been Italy's first trip to the Women's Euros title match since 1997. No Italian team had won a knockout game at the tournament in 28 years until Girelli's 90th-minute winning goal against Norway last Wednesday in the same stadium. In a heartbreaking end to the semis for Italy, England teenager Michelle Agyemang first took victory away with a game-tying goal in the sixth minute of stoppage time at the end of the regulation. Then, just as a penalty shootout loomed, England clinched the victory with Chloe Kelly's goal in the 119th to send the defending champion to Sunday's final. Adding to Italy's sense of unfairness, Kelly scored by swooping on a rebound after Guiliani had saved her penalty kick. Minute details 'We were one minute away from the final,' Italy coach Andrea Soncin said at a post-game news conference. 'The players have deserved a different end, but unfortunately it happens sometimes you don't get what you deserve,' he said in translated comments. The Italian team was ecstatic in the 33rd when Barbara Bonansea lashed a volleyed shot rising into the England net. For the fifth straight game Italy scored first, adding England to that list of opponents that includes World Cup champion Spain. Bonansea ran toward the Italy bench with her tongue sticking out, with a broad smile, to be embraced by her teammates. The team's emotions were evident and powerful even before kickoff. The national anthem had been sung with gusto, concluding with a yelled crescendo that had some players bent over with the effort. Protecting their lead from England attacks in the second half, center backs Elena Linari and Cecilia Salvai were defiant and Di Guglielmo had made a key header by the goalpost to clear imminent danger. Di Guglielmo's emotional post-game walk to salute Italy supporters was made wearing the jersey of their nemesis — Kelly's No. 18 — they had exchanged after the game. World Cup next Soncin acknowledged women's soccer in Italy was playing catch-up to nations which had more established programs, like England. 'It's another step we have to make to better manage these situations.' In two years there will be a World Cup in Brazil where Italy, if it qualifies, will have a reputation and new-found respect to defend. With Girelli also? 'We achieved something great, something stratospheric, but we'll see,' the storied veteran said of her chances of playing on until then. 'These emotions are too beautiful to not want to relive them.' ___ Associated Press writer Felipe Rocha contributed to this report ___ AP soccer:

Euro 2025: England breaks Italy's heart in extra time to advance to final
GENEVA (AP) — England is living on the brink and survived another near-inevitable elimination all the way to another Women's European Championship final. The defending champion broke Italy's hearts — twice — in a 2-1 win after extra time in their semifinal on Tuesday. Chloe Kelly scored the decisive goal in the 119th minute, shooting home the rebound only after Italy goalkeeper Laura Giuliani saved her penalty kick. Italy was forced into extra time because another substitute, Michelle Agyemang, leveled the game deep into stoppage time. Kelly and Agyemang also were crucial for England in another great escape in the quarterfinals against Sweden. England will now defend its title in Sunday's final in Basel against either world champion Spain or Germany. Their semifinal is Wednesday in Zurich. 'When it finishes like this I am enjoying it but it's a little bit dramatic,' said England coach Sarina Wiegman, who has never been eliminated from the tournament. She led her native Netherlands to the 2017 title before joining England. It was all so cruel on unheralded Italy, which had led since Barbara Bonansea's rasping volleyed shot in the 33rd minute. 'It's a bitter defeat because we were one minute away from the final,' Italy coach Andrea Soncin said in translated comments. 'But we have to be proud.' Either potential opponent is a title rematch for England, having beaten Germany in the Euro 2022 final — also decided by a Kelly goal in extra time — and lost the 2023 World Cup final to Spain. England escapes For the second time in six days, England had stared down what looked a sure exit and survived into extra time. Italy would have been a worthy winner just for the immense defending of central backs Elena Linari and Cecilia Salvai as England pressed intensely in the second half. But Agyemang fired in a low shot after Giuliani spilled a cross in a rare handling error. The ball arrowed toward the net cruelly through the legs of both Linari and Giuliani. After the final whistle blew, Guiliani lay flat out and face down against the turf all alone in the middle of Italy's half of the field. The penalty was conceded by substitute Emma Severini for tangling with Beth Mead. Severini had a clear chance in the 86th to lift Italy into a two-goal lead but her close-range shot after a corner was smothered by England goalkeeper Hannah Hampton. England's wild ride The defending champion is taking a bumpy road to a second straight title match. It started with a humbling 2-1 loss to France in the opening game that was Wiegman's first defeat at a Women's Euros in her third tournament. It did, however, after routing the Netherlands and Wales by a combined score of 10-1, keep England out of Spain's half of the knockout bracket. England then trailed 2-0 to Sweden after 78 minutes of their quarterfinal, and twice in the penalty shootout would have been out had the Swedes not failed with their next spot-kick. Supersub Agyemang At age 19, Michelle Agyemang is making an incredible start to her England career just a few years after she was a ball girl for the team. Her third goal in just her fourth national-team game also was her second crucial equalizer in the Euro 2025 knockout rounds. The Arsenal forward almost won the game before Kelly, but her deft lob in the 117th rebounded off the Italy crossbar. 'I think that gave us a new lease of energy,' Kelly said of Agyemang's impact. 'When your forward is doing that, it's special.' Carter's return England defender Jess Carter was not in England's starting lineup for the first time, for tactical reasons, two days after revealing she was the target of racist abuse online during the tournament. Carter came on for the closing minutes to protect England's lead and got a rousing cheer from fans. Kelly said victory after the team united behind Carter was 'a powerful moment to show this is what we expect.' ___ AP soccer:
