Former White Sox closer Bobby Jenks dies at 44
Jenks, a flame-throwing reliever who appeared in the 2006 and 2007 All-Star Games, was 44 years old.
"We have lost an iconic member of the White Sox family today," said White Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf. "None of us will ever forget that ninth inning of Game 4 in Houston, all that Bobby did for the 2005 World Series champions and for the entire Sox organization during his time in Chicago. He and his family knew cancer would be his toughest battle, and he will be missed as a husband, father, friend and teammate. He will forever hold a special place in all our hearts."

Mbappe and PSG set for Club World Cup reunion as Real Madrid eyes final
Kylian Mbappe will come up against Paris Saint-Germain for the first time since leaving the French club a year ago as Xabi Alonso's Real Madrid revolution gets its biggest test yet in Wednesday's Club World Cup semifinal. Mbappe should be remembered as a PSG legend, having spent seven prolific campaigns there and eventually departing as the team's all-time top scorer with 256 goals in 308 games. But his legacy was a little tainted by the manner of his departure, the sense among many that for the last half of his time in Paris he was just waiting for the right moment to move to Madrid, the club he had dreamed of representing as a young boy. PSG, under its Qatari president Nasser al-Khelaifi, was not happy with the way in which Mbappe chose to run down his contract in order to sign for Real in 2024, denying it a transfer fee. A bitter legal dispute has gone on between the parties for much of the time since, with Mbappe claiming he is owed €55 million ($64.4 million) in unpaid wages and bonuses from his spell in Paris. The latest twist came just this week, when one of Mbappe's lawyers said that the France captain had withdrawn a complaint of moral harassment against his former employers. That was after the Paris prosecutor's office revealed last month that an investigation had been opened following a complaint by the player over the way he was treated by PSG in the summer of 2023. He believes he was sidelined by PSG and made to train with players the club was looking to offload after refusing to agree a new contract. Mbappe missed a preseason tour to Japan and the start of the next campaign before eventually being reintegrated into Luis Enrique's squad. All of that should have been behind Mbappe long ago, given the way his first season at Real has gone on a personal level. The 26-year-old, a World Cup winner in 2018, scored 43 goals in 56 matches for his new club across all competitions up to the end of the campaign in La Liga, a remarkable tally. However, Mbappe has endured frustration at the Club World Cup, not featuring at all during the group stage due to a stomach bug which led to him requiring hospital treatment. In his absence, young forward Gonzalo Garcia has made the step up in impressive fashion, starting all five matches in the United States and scoring four goals. The last of those was the opener in the 3-2 quarterfinal win over Borussia Dortmund at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Saturday, but it was Mbappe who got what was ultimately the deciding goal. He came off the bench midway through the second half and scored a brilliant, acrobatic overhead kick for Real's third of the afternoon in stoppage time. "He is still not perfect, not 100%, but he is getting better every day," Alonso said of Mbappe after that match. "Now he will have three days to keep progressing and feeling better ahead of the semifinal." It is hard to imagine Mbappe not getting his first start of the tournament against PSG, the club that won the Champions League in the season following his departure after so many years of disappointment in Europe with him in the team. PSG came to the U.S. fresh from crushing Inter Milan 5-0 in the Champions League final. The team reached the last four with a 2-0 win over Bayern Munich in Atlanta in the last eight — despite having Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez sent off — and need not fear Real. "It doesn't matter who we play in the semifinals. All that matters is that we are there and that we want to get to the final," said Luis Enrique, for whom this is also a special occasion given that he spent five years at Madrid as a player in the 1990s. Alonso has just taken over as Real coach after an outstanding spell with Bayer Leverkusen and has already displayed great tactical flexibility, flitting between a back four and a three-man central defense at the tournament. It will be fascinating to see which system he opts for here, and if Mbappe starts as he prepares to play against PSG for the first time since July 2017, when he was still a thrilling teenager at Monaco.

Relentless Spain reaches Euro 2025 quarters after thumping Belgium
Spain reached the quarterfinals of Women's Euro 2025 on Monday after the world champion hammered Belgium 6-2, while Italy was held to a 1-1 draw with Portugal at the death. A brace from the magnificent Alexia Putellas and further goals from Irene Paredes, Esther Gonzalez, Mariona Caldentey and Claudia Pina gave Group B leaders Spain a second thumping win. Montse Tome's team will win the group if it avoids defeat to Italy, which is two points behind La Roja in second after being denied qualification late on by third-place Portugal, on Friday. Few would bet on Spain failing to secure first place after two blistering performances in which the team has netted 11 times. "We knew they would try to sit back and hold us off at the beginning, we could have been better, sure, but you need to adapt during the game. We managed to do that and create good opportunities," Tome told reporters. "We have to improve but we did what we planned to do." Belgium, which twice leveled through Justine Vanhaevermaet and Hannah Eurlings, is close to going home after eventually being blown away by relentless waves of attacking football. The team's players acquitted themselves well until Caldentey forced home Spain's fourth in the 61st minute, defending with grit and causing problems with some punchy breakaway football. "It was difficult because I really believed in what we were doing and I loved seeing my players give everything they had," said Belgium coach Elisabet Gunnarsdottir. "I really think we gave them a game for at least 60 minutes, a really good game. ... I'm proud of them." When Putellas finished off a beautiful spell of quick passing in the 22nd minute, it looked like the beginning of a thumping win similar to the 5-0 destruction of Portugal in the opening round. Yet, seconds later, Vanhaevermaet leveled with the simplest of goals, nodding home Tessa Wullaert's corner. Paredes put Spain back in the lead six minutes before the break with a bullet header from Pina's deep corner. Again Belgium hit back, this time through Eurlings who sprung the offside trap before rifling home in the 50th minute. Gonzalez netted her third goal of the tournament two minutes later after collecting Putellas' neat through ball. The game was up when Caldentey bundled home from a corner just after the hour. Pina smashed in her first goal of the tournament with 10 minutes remaining, and appropriately it was Putellas' deft flick that completed the rout shortly afterwards. On this form Spain looks a class above the rest of the tournament and clear favorite to win the country's first ever women's European crown. Italy thought it was joining Spain in the quarters when Cristiana Girelli opened the scoring in Geneva with a brilliant curling effort with 20 minutes remaining. The Azzurre were saved 10 minutes later when Diana Silva was denied a leveler when she was ruled offside by video assistant referee following her rebound finish from a corner. But in the 89th minute Diana Gomes lobbed home a leveler that gave Portugal a point and kept the side in the competition moments after Carole Costa headed onto the crossbar. "It was a very tough match, open right to the end ... a very open match against a Portugal team that gave everything," said Italy coach Andrea Soncin. "It's a shame because we were in the quarters with a few minutes remaining but it's all still in our hands." Gomes' goal could be huge, as Portugal, which trails the Italians by three points, faces Belgium while Italy takes on Spain. Italy currently has a goal difference that is six better than Portugal's, but with Spain up next a big swing is not that hard to imagine.

Swiss beat Iceland 2-0 to keep alive Women's Euro knockout hopes
Geraldine Reuteler got the opening goal and Alayah Pilgrim scored a late second as host Switzerland beat Iceland 2-0 on Sunday to keep alive the team's hopes of a place in the knockout stage by registering their its win in Group A at the Women's Euros. The result means Norway, which beat Finland 2-1 earlier on Sunday, will go through as group winner, while the Swiss will play Finland in their final group game in Geneva on Wednesday with second place and a spot in the last eight up for grabs. Iceland became the first team to be eliminated from the competition. "We wanted to win that game and we got carried by our fans. In the end we created the chances needed to win. ... I am so happy," Swiss captain Lia Walti said. The tropical heat of the last week gave way to a cool evening and a light but persistent rain that made the pitch slick and slippery, raising the stakes for the two sides, neither of whom had much margin for error after losing their opening group games. There were ominous signs for the hosts in the first minute when Ingibjorg Sigurdarsdottir sent a thunderous shot off the crossbar, shocking the majority of the 29,658 fans in attendance. The Swiss had the ball in the net on the half-hour mark after Svenja Foelmli's header was helped into her own goal by Glodis Viggosdottir, but the strike was ruled out after a VAR review found that Foelmli had committed a foul in the buildup. It took until the 76th minute for Reuteler to break the deadlock in a tough, tense encounter as Iceland lost the ball in midfield and Sydney Schertenlieb slid it into her path to fire home confidently, capping off another superb individual display. Substitute Pilgrim then wrapped up the three points with a deflected shot that flew into the net to send the crowd into a frenzy, with the promise of another big night of football for the hosts on the immediate horizon. "When we scored the first goal, the 1-0, it was a fantastic feeling — now there are 30,000 in the stands who are celebrating for us. It's a good feeling, it was overwhelming in a way. It just exploded in here," Swiss midfielder Smilla Valotto told reporters. "That was up and down and back and forth. It was a fight and, at the end of the day, I think we did well," Swiss coach Pia Sundhage said with a mixture of elation and relief. "It's difficult to play against Iceland because of all the duels, they're good in the air. But we met that and we managed to do so with a clean sheet and score two goals, we are very happy about that." Sundhage said she would have no problem getting her squad to focus on the next task against Finland. "I feel that the team is getting tighter and tighter. And that's very important in order to win anything, believing each other, and believe that you can win," she told reporters.
