Someone was noticeably watching the NBA Finals during Fox's USMNT-Haiti broadcast
We know that because we could literally hear Mike Breen's basketball commentary playing the background as Fox announcers John Strong and Stu Holden worked the USMNT's match at AT&T Stadium.
Awful Announcing captured video of the moment in the second half as the USMNT played the ball back to goalkeeper Matt Freese. The match commentary stopped for several seconds, making it easy to hear the basketball game playing in the background.
It was unclear who in the booth was watching the NBA Finals (with the volume blasting), but it certainly wasn't a great look for Fox.
The broadcaster of the 2026 World Cup has had its share of audio issues in recent matches, and this latest blunder did a disservice to viewers tuning in to watch the USMNT. That kind of thing shouldn't happen.

One-match ban leaves England's Packer available for Women's Rugby World Cup opener
LONDON — Flanker Marlie Packer will be available for England's opening match in the Women's Rugby World Cup after she received a one-match ban on Sunday. Stand-in captain Packer was sent off on Saturday during a 97-7 win over Spain in a World Cup warmup in Leicester. In a ruck clearout, her shoulder targeted and bent the leg of fullback Claudia Pena. Packer didn't accept it was a red card offense at her disciplinary hearing but the panel disagreed and considered the foul play reckless. She will miss England's final warmup against France next Saturday. England opens the World Cup against the United States on Aug. 22 in Sunderland. ___ AP rugby:

Marlie Packer cleared for opening match of England's World Cup campaign
England flanker Marlie Packer will be available to feature in the opening match of the World Cup after being handed a one-match ban for her red card in Saturday's win over Spain. The 35-year-old was sent off in the second half of the Red Roses' 97-7 warm-up victory in Leicester following a clumsy clearout on the left leg of Spain full-back Claudia Pena. Packer's suspension rules her out of her country's final warm-up match, away to France on Saturday. Hosts England begin the World Cup on Friday, August 22 against the United States in Sunderland. In determining the sanction, World Rugby's foul play review committee noted Packer accepted foul play occurred but she did not agree the offence warranted a red card. Her challenge, which did not result in injury to Harlequins player Pena, was deemed to be 'reckless'. The committee decided the offence warranted a two-match ban but opted to award full 50 per cent mitigation. England's 15-try success at Welford Road was Packer's first match as captain since being replaced in the full-time role by Zoe Aldcroft in January. The Saracens forward, who has 111 Test caps, led the Red Roses to back-to-back Six Nations Grand Slams in 2023 and 2024 and is one of head coach John Mitchell's vice-captains.
