Women's EURO 2025: Finland beats 10-woman Iceland 1-0 in opener
Katariina Kosola's goal gave Finland a 1-0 win over 10-woman Iceland in the opening match of the Women's European Championship on Wednesday, giving the Finns the perfect start in Group A, which also contains hosts Switzerland and Norway. Finland lost all three games at the last tournament, scoring one goal, but after Iceland's Hildur Antonsdottir's red card in the 58th minute, Kosola made the breakthrough 12 minutes later. The first half ended goalless, with Iceland threatening from set-pieces and Sveindis Jonsdottir's long throw-ins while Finland created the better chances but were unable to find a way past goalkeeper Cecilia Runarsdottir. Inter Milan's Runarsdottir, voted best Serie A keeper last season, made an excellent diving save to keep out Kosola's shot from the edge of the area. Iceland lost captain Glodis Viggosdottir to injury, with the defender replaced at halftime. Another throw-in from Jonsdottir brought Iceland its first real opportunity after the break, with Finnish keeper Anna Koivunen saving one effort and Emma Koivisto blocking another shot but it also led to the red card for Antonsdottir. Antonsdottir had been booked six minutes earlier, and a rash off-the-ball challenge brought a second yellow card and left Iceland down to 10 with over half an hour remaining.

Kosola took the ball into the box and cut inside before smacking a beautiful shot, which Runarsdottir got a hand to but could not stop the ball sailing into the top corner. Iceland pushed to the end for an equaliser but Finland held on to take the three points. Finland faces Norway next in Sion on Sunday, with Iceland, which has one win in 14 Euros matches, facing the Swiss in Bern.

USA end losing streak with crushing of hapless Trinidad
SAN JOSE: Diego Luna #10 of United States shoots against Marvin Phillip #1 of Trinidad and Tobago in the first half during the Gold Cup 2025 at PayPal Park on June 15, 2025 in San Jose, California. – AFP LOS ANGELES: The United States ended their four-match losing run with a resounding 5-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago in their opening game of the CONCACAF Gold Cup on Sunday in San Jose. Mauricio Pochettino and his team, which is missing several Europe-based regulars, had faced plenty of criticism after recent friendly defeats to Turkey and Switzerland. In desperate need of a change in mood around the team, a year out from the World Cup they will co-host with Canada and Mexico, Pochettino fielded an attacking line-up. Against a Trinidad team, coached by former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke, it proved to be just the kind of stress-free comfortable win that the Argentine coach was seeking. The USA were on top from the outset with two early chances for striker Patrick Agyemang and it was the striker who helped create the 16th-minute opener. Agyemang won the ball off Trinidad defender Alvin Jones, found Jack McGlynn on the right who kept his cool and clipped the ball to the back post where Malik Tillman collected and then slotted home. It was a tough day for Jones, who then gifted the USA their second goal with a back-pass that went straight to winger Diego Luna who broke away and then unselfishly squared to Tillman for the PSV Eindhoven midfielder's second. Trinidad were showing why they have fallen down the FIFA rankings, slipping to 100th and fourth in the Caribbean, below Curacao, lacking any kind of solidity. The lively Luna created the third, a minute before the break, when he cut in from the left and his low shot deflected off Agyemang and beat the helpless Marin Phillip. It was easy going for Pochettino's side in the second half with Trinidad managing to threaten once when Tyrese Spicer put a low ball across the face of the goal but the sliding Dante Sealy was unable to connect. With the game fizzling out, Pochettino made a triple substitution and that added some late urgency to his side's attack. Sub Brenden Aaronson cut in from left and squeezed a low shot past Phillip's near post and then another man off the bench, Haji Wright completed the convincing victory when he broke down the left and drifted inside before placing the ball in the far corner. The USA, looking for an eighth Gold Cup title, face Saudi Arabia and Haiti in their remaining two games in Group D. — AFP

Curaçao at Gold Cup 2025: 'We want to prove that we are not a team to be taken lightly'
Curaçao at Gold Cup 2025: 'We want to prove that we are not a team to be taken lightly' The 2025 Gold Cup is underway, and Curaçao kick off their latest adventure as they face El Salvador in their Group B tournament opener at San Jose's PayPal Park. Before then, we at GBeNeFN wanted to learn more about a team who are looking to continue a trailblazing era. Located in the southern Caribbean Sea, the scenic island nation of Curaçao has an understated relationship with football, especially given its population of less than 200,000 people. The national team have featured at the premier CONCACAF competition six times. Three of these appearances, including this upcoming chapter in the USA, have come after their separation from the Netherlands Antilles in 2010. Advertisement While a connection with the Netherlands continues to run through the team, with Dick Advocaat in the dugout, and a plethora of Dutch-born players turning out, Curaçao have undoubtedly managed to curate some exciting moments to move them firmly into an infamy of their own. A recent upshift in form has seen the rejuvenated Familia Azul unbeaten in their last seven matches. They are also still deep in the running for a momentous first World Cup appearance, and ahead of this summer of football, they have climbed up to 90th in the FIFA world rankings. At the last two Gold Cups they played in, Curaçao went out at the group stage in 2017, but then bettered that with a quarter-final finish two years later. We spoke to Tito at Curaçao Football News in order to get some expert insight on the team and their style, and just how they've turned heads within their federation. Hi Tito, Curacao's football seems to be back on the rise. What's the general vibe running up to this Gold Cup? What are your memories of the tournament? The vibe is great right now! Fans are happy that we are back in the Gold Cup, and we want to prove that we are not a team to be taken lightly, just like we did in 2019. Advertisement As for my memories from the Gold Cup, my all-time favourite actually came from 2017. It was the match against Mexico. Despite losing 2-0, the scoreline really didn't reflect the match. From the first whistle to the last, we went toe to toe with Mexico. We were good defensively and created so many chances and even hit the post twice. That was the first time we really turned heads in the region. How do you feel about the current selection? Who would you say are some of your stand-out players in this current group? Who should we be looking out for? I'm happy with the squad, although in the centre-back position, we're kind of thin with only three of them getting called up. There are two players you should be looking out for. One is Jearl Margaritha. He plays on the right wing and also plays club football for Phoenix Rising FC in the USL Championship. In 12 caps for Curaçao, Jearl has five goals and five assists. He is such a good dribbler and has so much flair. Advertisement The other one to look out for is Livano Comenencia. He is a 21-year-old midfielder who plays for Juventus Next Gen in the Serie C. He is tall, strong, fast, and a good dribbler. He has quickly become a fan favourite and has consistently performed for the team since his arrival in October of 2024. You face El Salvador, Canada and Honduras in the group stages. How do you feel about this draw? Are all eyes on the Canada fixture in particular? Is there the potential opportunity to cause an upset? I'm happy with the draw. These teams will really test the level of our current group of players. While the Canada game will be the toughest, all eyes are on the opening game against El Salvador. Advertisement We have over 80 years of history against them, dating back to when we were the Netherlands Antilles, and we've never beaten them. In our modern history, from 2011 to now, we have faced them seven times with 0 wins, three draws, and four losses. So the hope is to finally get one over on them. What would you say is the best way to describe Curaçao's style of play? How would you say Dick Advocaat has influenced the team? Before Dick Advocaat joined we played a very passive possession-based style of football. But since his arrival, he has had the team playing very aggressively when in possession. The forwards are constantly moving and trying to find space. Advertisement When out of possession, we press hard. Our midfielders and forwards are constantly running, trying to force mistakes, and they have shown an ability to compete physically with other teams. In a recent game with Haiti, Jürgen Locadia pressed their defenders, which led to a back pass to the keeper, Johny Placide. Locadia held his run and stole the ball, leading to an easy tap-in for Kevin Felida to give us a 4-1 lead. With a mix of predominantly second and third-generation players, has that played on the national conscience at all? Despite all of the players being born and raised in the Netherlands, the people here in Curaçao have been happy with them. Advertisement Of course, every now and then, there is somebody who thinks we should add more local players, but no one really cares about that. What would be your dream tournament? Any fixtures you'd enjoy in particular in an ideal world? Something I would love to see in the future is a friendly tournament between Curaçao, Aruba, Suriname, and Indonesia in the Netherlands. It would be fun. GBeNeFN | Max Bradfield | Curaçao Football News
