MARSEILLE, France — Emma Hayes can’t have too many complaints after this one. The United States women’s soccer team defeated Germany, 4-1, in the second match of group play at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Sunday. And like in the opener against Zambia, the scoring came early and often before the Americans cruised to a relatively stress-free victory with three goals by halftime for the second straight contest. “It was fun. I actually really enjoyed the game,” Hayes said afterward. “My agent texted me and said ‘I enjoyed it. I bet you didn’t.’ I was like ‘No, I really enjoyed the game.’…
Paddy Pimblett was thrilled to silence his haters by defeating King Greene on the main card of UFC 304. Pimblett (22-3 MMA) faced arguably the toughest test of his MMA career last night when he faced Green (32-16-1 MMA) in Manchester, England. Despite a perfect 5-0 record in the Octagon to date, many analysts and some professional fighters believed “The Buddy” would be too tough to beat the 37-year-old Green. Of course, that wasn't the case on Saturday night. Instead, Paddy Pimblett produced a sensational performance that silenced the critics and ended with King Green being put to sleep after…

Getting everyone playing time will be a challenge for U.S. basketball coach Steve Kerr, who was faced with a tough decision after the U.S. beat Serbia in its first group game on Sunday. Celtics star Jayson Tatum did not play in the 110-84 victory despite playing 17.6 minutes in the United States' five exhibition games before the Paris Olympics. But Kerr and the U.S. national team were without Kevin Durant to rely on during those games, and Durant appeared to have been inserted into the starting rotation in place of Tatum in Sunday's game against Serbia. Jayson Tatum will not…
Paris — So there you have it: the dynamics that propelled Canadian soccer from impersonator to global powerhouse. It wasn't just grit, camaraderie and good coaching that led Canada to its first men's World Cup appearance this century and its women's team to three consecutive Olympic medals. Drones were also involved. Last week, it was discovered that the women's national team had spied on New Zealand ahead of the opening Olympic match between the two countries. The damage to Canadian soccer could be devastating two years before the World Cup returns to North America. The Canadian Soccer Federation and FIFA…

Makhachev said he expects to return to the Octagon sometime this year, though UFC has yet to formally…
