Euro 2025: Kosola's goal secures Finland's 1-0 win over Iceland in tournament opener
THUN, Switzerland (AP) — After missing three earlier chances, Katariina Kosola scored in the 70th minute to give Finland a 1-0 victory over Iceland in the opening game of the Women's European Championship on Wednesday. Kosola cut in from the left flank to curl a rising right-footed shot into the net and fully take advantage of Iceland having a player sent off 12 minutes earlier. In the first half, the 24-year-old Kosola forced Iceland goalkeeper Cecilía Rúnarsdóttir into a diving save and fired two more shots just over the crossbar. Iceland's own left winger Sveindís Jónsdóttir, who will join Angel City in the United States after the tournament, missed with a clear chance to level the game in the 75th. Jónsdóttir also went close deep into stoppage time. Iceland went down to 10 players in the 58th when midfielder Hildur Antonsdóttir was shown a second yellow card for a dangerous tackle. Both teams had failed to win a game at each of their previous two Euros tournaments. Finland ended its run to make a strong move in Group A which has no clear standout team and is widely seen as the most evenly balanced at the 16-nation tournament. Host Switzerland was kicking off against Norway later in Basel after the official on-field opening ceremony for what is the second of 31 games in total. Basel hosts the final on July 27. Iceland also was hurt by having captain and star defender Glódís Viggósdóttir slowed by injury before being replaced at half time. She had missed playing time in Bayern Munich's German league and cup-winning season with a knee injury. Euro 2025 started with two Nordic teams playing in the heat wave that had Switzerland sweltering since before the squads arrived in the Alpine nation. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. It had cooled to 81 degrees Fahrenheit (27 Celsius) for the 6 p.m. kickoff in Thun as electric storms threatened nearby. It was just 52 degrees (11 C) and cloudy in Iceland's capital Reykjavik though 73 degrees (23 C) in Helsinki. Finland last won a game at the Women's Euro in 2009, while Iceland had drawn 1-1 in each of its three group-stage games at Euro 2022 and lost all three at the 2017 edition. Jónsdóttir's fast-driving runs and long throw-ins were a regular threat, and two of Iceland's most dangerous attacks were denied by Finland defender Emma Koivisto blocking the ball. ___ AP soccer:

Knicks offer coaching job to Mike Brown and are working on a deal, AP source says
NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Knicks have offered their coaching job to Mike Brown and are working to finalize a deal with the two-time NBA Coach of the Year, a person with knowledge of the details said Wednesday. Brown would replace Tom Thibodeau, who was fired last month despite leading the Knicks to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in 25 years. He had his second interview with the Knicks on Tuesday before the job was offered, the person told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the search were to remain private. The plan to hire Brown was first reported by ESPN. Brown earned his second award as the NBA's top coach after leading Sacramento to the playoffs in 2022-23, but the Kings fired him nearly halfway through last season.

Court orders reinstatement of convictions of ex-Fox executive, marketing firm in FIFA bribery case
NEW YORK (AP) — A federal appeals court on Tuesday ordered reinstatement of the convictions of a former Fox executive and a South American sports media and marketing company in the FIFA bribery investigation. Hernan Lopez, the former CEO of Fox International Channels, was convicted by a jury in March 2023 along with the marketing company Full Play Group SA of one count each of wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy related to the Copa Libertadores soccer tournament. Full Play was convicted of two additional counts each of wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy related to World Cup qualifiers and friendlies and to the Copa America, the continent's national team championship. U.S. District Judge Pamela K. Chen, who presided over the trial in Brooklyn federal court, granted a motion for an acquittal in September 2023, citing a May 2023 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in cases involving Joseph Percoco, an aide to former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and construction firm owner Louis Ciminelli. Chen wrote those decisions meant Lopez's conviction could not be sustained under the honest services fraud statute. The U.S. government then appealed. U.S. Senior Circuit Judge John M. Walker Jr. and U.S. Circuit Judges Beth Robinson and Sarah A. L. Merriam vacated Chen's decision and ordered her to reinstate the convictions and to conduct additional proceedings consistent with their opinion. Walker, writing for the panel, said 'the nature of defendants' conduct (bribery), coupled with the character of the relationship between the bribed officials and the organizations to whom they owed a duty of loyalty (employer-employee relationships), place the schemes presumptively within the scope of' the statute. They added: 'The foreign identity of certain organizations and officials does not remove the schemes from the ambit of' the statute, 'especially where, as here, relevant conduct occurred in the United States, for the benefit of United States-based executives and organizations (e.g., Lopez and Fox), and the victims were multinational organizations with global operations and significant ties to the United States.' The circuit judges said it was up to Chen to decide whether to grant a defense motion questioning whether the government's evidence was sufficient to prove a conspiracy to deceive the South American governing body CONMEBOL. 'The proceedings that resulted in Hernan's conviction were afflicted with numerous defects,' John Gleeson, a lawyer for Lopez, wrote in an email to The Associated Press. 'Today, the Court of Appeals ruled against us on one discrete legal issue — the same issue that we believe Judge Pamela Chen ruled on correctly when she acquitted our client after trial. We intend to seek review of that issue in the Supreme Court of the United States, and have no doubt that our client will eventually be fully vindicated.' Mayling C. Blanco and Michael Martinez, lawyers for Full Play, did not respond to emails from the AP seeking comment. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York had no comment. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. Dozens of people have pleaded guilty or been convicted after a U.S.-led investigation into FIFA and international soccer. The probe became public in 2015 when U.S. prosecutors accused the leaders of soccer federations of tarnishing the sport for nearly a quarter-century by taking $150 million in bribes and payoffs. 'Corruption in international soccer is not new,' the circuit court wrote. 'It was rampant for decades before the events at issue here.' Fox Corp., which split from a subsidiary of international channels during a restructuring in 2019, was not charged and has denied any involvement in the bribery scandal. ___ AP soccer:
