While you were probably busy pounding beers and watching fireworks, Zlatan Ibrahimovic had one of his busiest days of the year.
The Galaxy striker had to carry his team to its 11th win, scoring two goals to secure that win. He then joined the internet in the #BottleCapChallenge trend.
And he did all of this, with his name misspelled on his jersey.
Leslie Jones, the inimitable comedian of Saturday Night Live and Ghostbusters fame, seems to have just discovered the USWNT and she was losing her shit — in her own unique, lovely way — when the Americans beat England in the Women’s World Cup semifinals on Tuesday.
Just hours before NBA free agency opened on Sunday, June 30, Antoine Griezmann dropped his new highlight tape, but not in the sport we’d expect. The French star was seen balling with the Miami Heat, living his best life in the offseason.
At the same time, Atletico Madrid and just about everyone else has announced the Frenchman’s exit from the Spanish club. Griezmann has had fans glued to their phones waiting for news to break about the star’s next team.
It was to no one's surprise that the Seattle Sounders were short-handed during this international break. What has made it worse is that injuries have started to pile up as well.

The 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup is here. More importantly, we’ve got a USWNT Women's World Cup drinking game for you and all your friends to play as the Americans attempt to defend their title in France this summer.
Japan, as evidenced by the first goal it scored against the Netherlands on Tuesday, is one of the most technically gifted footballing nations on the planet. The Nadeshiko combine wonderfully and, at times, appear to harmoniously coexist on the same wavelength.
But that wasn’t the case during Tuesday’s warmup before a Round-of-16 encounter with the Netherlands. This is the rondo from hell.
Guys, say these things to any female fan and she’ll instantly love you. No really, she will.
1. Where’s your boyfriend? You came with him right?
Wouldn’t you like to know.
2. I bet you can’t name five people on the team.
Yesterday, in a must-win game against Qatar, Lionel Messi did something that was very uncharacteristic of him. With the opportunity to seal the game for Argentina and secure a place in the knockout rounds of the Copa América, he skied an open shot into the stands.

The Women’s World Cup going on in France right now is the biggest sporting event of the year. But don’t tell that to Texas high school football fans.
Because nothing is bigger than high school football in rural Texas, the sign for a middling high school football team showed up in Paris behind FOX’s studio in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower on Saturday.
