It's been ugly at times but the beauty about our Lionesses is this isn't the end — they are never done

SCREAMS fill the air, tears flow and beer rains down to ecstatic chants of 'It's coming home' — and I couldn't be more proud. Our wonder women have done it again. 3 3 Euros champions for the second time in a row after defeating Spain and putting to bed our World Cup heartache from 2023. Football is called 'the beautiful game' — but this tournament has, at times, been anything but that for our brave Lionesses. Even the most die-hard fans will, at some point, have thought: 'We're surely done now . . .' But we have kept bouncing back. Whether it was a last-minute equaliser, an extra-time winner or heart-stopping penalty shootout. It's been a campaign of resilience, ugly at times, and we've had to fight. The Lionesses were the tournament's most passionate team and were rightly rewarded. Now they enter the history books as England's most successful football team and the nation will never forget the euphoria they have gifted us. There are moments I'll never forget — such as the ­Sweden shootout when Lucy Bronze fired a simply sublime penalty into the roof of the net in the 13th of 14 kicks. It made me think: 'They will always find a way.' Now they have brought football home yet again and the beauty is, this isn't the end. Now we want to complete the set with the 2027 World Cup. That's the wonderful thing about our Lionesses, they are never done.

Report: Browns QB Kenny Pickett injured during practice

July 27 - Cleveland Browns quarterback Kenny Pickett reportedly went down with a hamstring injury during Saturday's training camp session, casting uncertainty over his early momentum in a crowded quarterback competition. Sources told ESPN that Pickett sustained the injury while rolling to his right and throwing a touchdown during the final red zone drill of the day. The severity of the injury remains unclear and the Browns reportedly expect to re-evaluate him later this week. Pickett had been making a strong case to become the Browns' starter, taking a majority of the first-team reps during the opening week of training camp. Browns quarterbacks coach Bill Musgrave described his performance in the first two practices as "stellar," particularly praising his accuracy. Pickett's early success had seemingly put him ahead in the four-man competition, which includes veteran Joe Flacco and rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. The injury now opens the door for the remaining quarterbacks to gain valuable reps. Flacco, entering his 18th NFL season, has rotated with Pickett throughout camp and brings veteran leadership to the position group. Gabriel, a third-round pick out of Oregon, has had limited time with the first team, while Sanders, a fifth-round pick from Colorado, has yet to take any first-team snaps. Pickett, a 2022 first-round pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers, was traded to the Browns in March by the Philadelphia Eagles. Cleveland gave up a fifth-round pick and young quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson in the deal. With the Browns declining his fifth-year option, Pickett is set to become a free agent after the 2025 season. --Field Level Media
