France vs England live updates: Women's Euros holders trail to Katoto and Baltimore goals
There are eerie similarities between England and the Netherlands' tournament records. Each have one Euros title under their belt — the most recent two, in fact — and lost the World Cup final after their European victory. And of course, both won their European titles on home soil and under Sarina Wiegman.
Neither would be out of place in the final four, but nor would France. Laurent Bonadei's side reached the semi-finals in 2022 and the quarter-finals of the past four World Cups, and are just ahead of the Netherlands in FIFA's rankings.
Then there's Wales, who are making their major tournament debut in the toughest group in Switzerland. If they make it to the final eight, it would be one of the stories of the summer.

Piastri's four-word response after fans accuse Aussie of 'classless' act on podium
Oscar Piastri described Nico Hulkenberg's podium finish as the "highlight of the day" after the British Grand Prix. But F1 fans weren't particularly impressed by the actions of Piastri and McLaren teammate Lando Norris on the podium. The 37-year-old Hulkenberg finally broke through for his first podium finish in his 239th career race. The German veteran had never finished in the top-three of a race until Sunday, dating all the way back to when he made his F1 debut in 2010. There were joyous scenes for Hulkenberg and Sauber when he crossed the finish line in third behind Norris and Piastri - a remarkable drive from 19th on the starting grid. But the actions of Piastri and Norris on the podium left much to be desired. The F1 world was expecting the McLaren drivers to make the celebrations about Hulkenberg, and shower him with champagne to mark his first podium in 15 years. But Piastri and Norris left Hulkenberg by himself for the majority of the celebrations, opting to spray champagne at each other and their engineer instead. Social media was awash with complaints that Piastri and Norris hadn't given Hulkenberg the recognition he deserved. Many said the podium festivities "felt off", while some labelled the McLaren drivers' actions as "disrespectful". One person wrote: "No respect… I'm very sorry for Nico that his first podium was like this! Lando, Piastri should have showered him like Lando got with his first ever felt off in so many ways…" Another commented: "A bit off from the McLaren trio on the podium not involving Nico in the champagne spraying, some very odd vibes coming from Piastri's being upset by the penalty. Doesn't mean you can't be more encompassing in your celebrations as a team. Respect is earned and Nico has earned that." Others defended the McLaren drivers and said the criticism was making a mountain out of a mole hill. Congrats Nico, not much class from that McLaren team. — Jax (@BGL1969) July 6, 2025 No respect… I'm very sorry for Nico that his first podium was like this! Lando, Piastri should have showered him like Lando got with his first ever win.. it does felt off in so many ways… — Daniëlle van der Raad (@vd_raad) July 6, 2025 Fantastic result for him and Sauber. It was a shame and a bit disrespectful that Norris and Piastri didn't celebrate his first podium with him. — Sean Smith (@peanutsbacca) July 6, 2025 Making this is much bigger deal than it really is. — Jeff Kirk (@JeffreyNKirk) July 6, 2025 Very disappointed in the papaya boys. Nico deserved better than that. — Scott (@ScottMightKnow) July 6, 2025 Piastri appeared to be more focused on a controversial penalty he received, which many believe robbed him of the victory. But the Aussie did pay a compliment to Hulkenberg while airing his complaints. "I'll get myself in trouble, so... well done, to Hulkenberg. I think that's the highlight of the day, so... yeah, I'll leave it there," he said in a post-race interview. RELATED: F1 legend accuses Oscar Piastri of 'nasty' act in teammate collision F1 fans in frenzy over return of Daniel Ricciardo with Oscar Piastri Others also felt Piastri could have done better in the cool-down area after the race. There's no doubt he would have congratulated Hulkenberg for his career-high finish, but he chose to make a curious comment on what his trophy was made of when speaking into the microphone. Hulkenberg's trophy was made of lego, as were Norris and Piastri's. 'I also have a question for Nico," Piastri said. 'How does it feel after 15 years of F1 to get a podium that's made out of Lego that you can just pull apart and probably buy next week?" Hulkenberg saw the funny side and declared his daughter will love playing with it. 'I love Lego," he beamed. "It's good, my daughter can play with it too. You've always got to see the bright side. But a bit of silver or gold would have been nice too. I won't complain.'

Terry Crews used art to make money during NFL career with Washington
Terry Crews was talented and in the NFL. Crews was a strong, fast linebacker for the Washington Redskins, and then suddenly he was not. Crews' journey to the NFL had not come easily. He didn't get to play at a big-time Big Ten or SEC university; instead, he played at Western Michigan. However, Crews exhibited enough speed, strength and athleticism that he was drafted by the LA Rams in the 11th round (281 overall) during the 1991 NFL Draft. Advertisement But life in the NFL is quite different than playing for one of the 365 Division 1 NCAA football teams. The NFL was 28 teams when Crews played his first season with the Rams in 1991. It's tough enough to make a 53-man roster as Crews did with the Rams. He was cut by multiple NFL teams but he did play one season each for three NFL teams: Rams (1991), Chargers (1993) and Redskins (1995). The NFL is brutal, and for all of his hard work, he was able to only contribute one solo tackle and on assist for the Redskins that least NFL season of his career. The linebacker's career in the NFL came to an abrupt end when the Redskins released him. Crews would later make it to Hollywood, being fortunate enough to earn roles in several television shows and several movies as well. But he didn't simply have Hollywood recruiting him when his NFL career ended. He had to rely on other talents. The surprising route for Crews was the he was very artistic and developed those talents as a kid growing up in Flint Michigan. He was given a flute and took lessons for eight years. He loved to draw and paint and did it well enough that he received an art scholarship to Western Michigan and then, later joined the football team. He even once drew courtroom sketches during the trial of a horrible murder case in Flint. Advertisement Telling his story once on a Jimmy Kimmel Show appearance, Crews told of how he was able to play for three NFL teams but was actually on six different teams in seven seasons trying to make a roster. So, he would ask players if they would like him to paint a portrait for them. He would do so and they would pay him. It's how he made money some of those years before he went to Hollywood. Here is one such portrait, of Crews' Washington Redskins teammate Brian Mitchell. Crews was 27 when he produced this wonderful portrait of Mitchell. His talents in music, art, acting are talents he can (and does) still use today, 30 years after his football career concluded. Crews appeared on Old Spice commercials for a time and has had several featured acting roles over the years. These days, Crews is best known as the host of "America's Got Talent."
