🎥 Toone and Bronze put England in control against Jamaica
The Lionesses made a strong start against Jamaica in their Euro 2025 warm-up friendly, with Ella Toone and Lucy Bronze striking in the first half.
Toone opened the scoring with a trademark finish after controlling on the edge of the area and curling her 20th England goal into the net past Liya Brooks.

Jamaica had a goal ruled out for offside before England struck a second before half time when Bronze rose highest to meet Jess Carter's inswinging cross into the box before Toone added a third to cap a dominant first 45 minutes.
Can the Lionesses see out victory ahead of their Euros opener against France on Saturday?

Kartal kicks things off with a big Wimbledon upset
Brighton's Sonay Kartal gave Britain's massed ranks of singles players a great start to the Wimbledon fortnight by ousting 20th seed Jelena Ostapenko on day one. Ostapenko, a former semi-finalist back in 2018, defeated Kartal in Eastbourne last week in straight sets but the British number three delighted the sun-baked crowd on Court Three with a 7-5 2-6 6-2 victory. Advertisement It is Kartal's third best win by ranking of her career and her best at a grand slam, with the 23-year-old producing another strong performance at the All England Club after reaching the third round as a qualifier 12 months ago. Things did not begin well for Kartal, who was quickly 3-0 down and finding little answer to the power hitting of her Latvian opponent. Ostapenko had three set points at 5-4 after Kartal had retrieved the early break but the British player, ranked 51, held firm and took full advantage of her opponent's disappointment to make it five games in a row and win the opener. Ostapenko responded well to level the match but Kartal did not allow the contest to get away from her, breaking serve early in the decider and racing into a 5-0 lead. Advertisement Ostapenko's body language indicated she would be more than happy to get off the court and, although she rallied to win two games, Kartal served out the victory at the second time of asking. In the second round, Kartal will face Bulgarian Viktoriya Tomova, who profited from Ons Jabeur's retirement.

Bayern not afraid of PSG in big Club World Cup quarter-final showdown
Munich's Har Munich's Harry Kane (2nd R) and team-mates applaud the fans after the FIFA Club World Cup round of 16 soccer match between CR Flamengo and Bayern Munich at the Hard Rock Stadium. Sven Hoppe/dpa Harry Kane's Bayern Munich are not intimidated by Paris Saint-Germain's top billing as they aim to topple the Champions League and treble winners in the Club World Cup quarter-finals. PSG are considered favourites for the title on July 13 after lifting the biggest European title at last with a 5-0 demolition of Inter Milan on May 31, while also winning the French League and Cup. Advertisement They proved their credentials with a 4-0 last 16 demolition of Lionel Messi's Inter Miami on Sunday. Bayern then advanced 4-2 over Brazil's Flamengo which according to board member for sport Max Eberl led to "euphoria in the dressing room." Luis Enrique's PSG were surprisingly beaten 1-0 by Botafogo in the group stage, and also 1-0 by Bayern in November in the first phase of the Champions League. "It's going to be another difficult match against PSG, they've had an unbelievable season," said Kane, who scored a brace against Flamengo. "We already played against them this season and came out on top. We have to try to take the energy and the good feeling into this match. Advertisement "We know it's going to be difficult but we feel like we can beat anyone when we're at our top level. We need to recover well now and prepare.' Kane was a standout player yet again, not only for his two goals for 2-0 and 4-2, but also for his overall work for the team which included a late sliding tackle. "This tackle, those are the moments we needed today, a prime example," midfielder Leon Goretzka said. Coach Vincent Kompany said: "For me, it's a luxury that players of that quality want to do that, especially when you're a goalscorer. But you don't win prizes these days without the whole team showing this willingness." Advertisement Said Kane: "Goals are part of my game, it is part of my job. But I do everything for the team." The exhausted Kane came off late, and looking at the England captain sitting next him at the news conference, coach Vincent Kompany said that the "six days of rest are now important" ahead of Saturday's game in Atlanta. There the air-conditioning in the arena will suit both sides, and Kompany expressed confidence that his team can deliver a top performance. "We are now up against the best team in Europe. But we want to win," Kompany said.
