Australia v Panama: international women's football friendly
Update: Date: 2025-07-05T05:46:27.000Z Title: Preamble Content: Hello and welcome to live coverage of the first women's football friendly between Australia and Panama at Hands Oval in Bunbury, Western Australia. The Matildas make their debut at the venue as they seek to build on a reasonably positive start to coach Joe Montemurro's tenure after a first-up victory over Slovenia was followed by a draw when the visitors hit a last-gasp equaliser. As often seems to be the way with the beautiful game, Australia's better performance of the two was widely considered to be in the game that they drew. Montemurro will get a deeper look at his squad and options for the Women's Asian Cup on home soil next year with several star names out of action and enjoying a rest elsewhere today. But Hayley Raso is in town and will wear the captain's armband against the side ranked No 56 in the world. Panama bring their own strong form into the friendly after a 5-1 win over Bolivia a month ago and a 2-0 victory against the same side a week before that. Kick-off is at 2.30pm AWST / 4.30pm AEST. I'll be back soon with the line-ups and team news. In the meantime, get in touch with any questions, thoughts and predictions. You can shoot me an email, or find me on X @martinpegan and Bluesky @ Let's get into it! It's matchday in Bunbury! 🙌⚽: #AUSvPAN⏰: 2.30pm AWST/4.30pm AEST🏟: Hands Oval🎟️ Tickets: LIVE on @ParamountPlusAU📻: ABC Radio via the ABC Listen App#Matildas #WAtheDreamState #BunburyBrighter #LoveBunbury @WestAustralia

British Grand Prix: Silverstone boss wants better transport links
The managing director of Silverstone said he was speaking to the government about how it could support the British Grand Prix, including improving transport to the Pringle was at a No.10 Downing Street reception on Wednesday to mark 75 years of Formula 1, along with the Formula One Group CEO Stefano said the race at Silverstone was one of the few on the F1 calendar which does not receive any public funds, but backing for the event was "not just a case of doling out money".At the event, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he wanted to hear "what more we as a government can do to support" Formula 1. The Northamptonshire circuit has a contract to host the British Grand Prix until hosted the first ever Formula 1 World Championship race 75 years ago and has hosted the UK leg exclusively since Pringle told BBC Radio Northampton's Annabel Amos: "We've never received public money to help pay the fee [for hosting the Grand Prix] and that is where most countries use their public money, although some have it put into infrastructure."I think we're going to have a conversation with government [about support]".But he said it was not just about money but rather boosting the motorsport industry and infrastructure around the circuit. Mr Pringle said: "The government recognises that the motorsport industry, the high-performance motorsport engineering sector, is extremely important to the United Kingdom."The contribution to gross domestic product from motorsport is growing and growing."So the sort of things I want to talk about are connectivity, about how we can have better public transport to this part of the country. Rail would be good if we could bring people closer to Silverstone by rail."He also said he want to look at how road journeys could be improved, which was also raised by the F1 CEO earlier in the prime minister said Formula 1 was "really important" to the said at Wednesday's reception he wanted to "talk about the future and to invite [Formula 1] to work with us".

Emma Raducanu has silenced sceptics but is missing one final ingredient
For all the hype, the love, and cherished memories of her astonishing US Open win four years ago, Emma Raducanu has been shadowed by a sneering question. Just how good is she? Within the space of three days – and without the reward of that silver she lifted so gloriously at Flushing Meadow – she has reasserted her reputation as the real deal. It will feel like scant consolation in the aftermath of defeat by Aryna Sabalenka, but this was Raducanu proving herself worthy of Centre Court billing as a great player, not merely a home favourite. The records show a third-round, straight-sets defeat that followed the form guide. Sabalenka asserted her class when it mattered. But the outcome disguises the fine margins that denied Raducanu what would have been her greatest Wimbledon scalp, the Briton going toe-to-toe with the world's best for two hours before she could no longer withstand the pounding ground strokes.
