In the immediate aftermath of Christian Eriksen’s collapse after suffering cardiac arrest in Denmark’s Euro 2020 opener against Finland, Danish captain Simon Kjær earned admiration around the globe for his actions.
On Monday evening in Brasília, Lionel Messi became Argentina’s joint-most capped player by equaling Javier Mascherano’s total of 147. Messi’s journey with La Albiceleste began in 2005, when he was just 18 but already world-renowned as Barcelona’s youngest-ever scorer and Ronaldinho’s heir apparent.
But it was Messi’s fellow 33-year-old, Papu Gómez — receiving just his sixth cap and only third start — who proved the difference in Argentina’s 1-0 group stage victory over Paraguay at the Copa América.
On Monday, an unreal 90 minutes unfolded that will be remembered by Danish fans forever. For Denmark to finish second in Euro 2020 Group B, the Danes needed a victory against Russia, Belgium to defeat Finland and some help on goal differential.
Belgium did its part against Finland in St. Petersburg.
La selección nacional de Venezuela llegó a esta Copa América muy herida. Desde semanas atrás, se sabía que no iban a poder contar, por lesión, con sus seis (sí, medio equipo) mejores jugadores para la doble fecha de Eliminatorias al Mundial, previo a la Copa América. Estos jugadores eran Salomón Rondón, Yangel Herrera, Yeferson Soteldo, Yordan Osorio, Darwin Machís y Jhon Murillo.
Brazil’s 18-woman roster for the Olympics was announced on Friday and included Orlando Pride ace and one of the greatest players of all-time, Marta. The 35-year-old’s reaction to hearing her name called to represent her country in Tokyo is what this sport is all about.

We go again. Less than a year after the first season of Ted Lasso dropped on Apple TV+, the Golden Globe award-winning show is scheduled to return on July 23 for a 12-episode second season.
Last we saw of Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) and AFC Richmond owner Rebecca Welton (Hannah Waddingham), the club had suffered the embarrassment of relegation to the Championship but the duo pledged to both earn promotion and then win the Premier League immediately after.
If there’s been a more symbiotic relationship between a club side and its jersey manufacturer than Club América and Nike over the last few years, I’m struggling to think of it.
Ahead of the 2021-22 Liga MX season — which begins with the Apertura on July 22 — América and Nike are dropping one of the greatest single-season collections of jerseys ever assembled.
On Monday, Nike released the pre-match jerseys that América will wear throughout the campaign. As someone who’s never purchased a pre-match jersey before, that might have to change.
Gyasi Zardes scored twice to send Historic Crew Stadium out in style when host Columbus defeated the Chicago Fire 2-0 on Saturday.
The Crew (4-2-2, 14 points) has won three straight, none more meaningful and emotional than the final game at the first soccer-specific stadium in MLS. Their $314 million Lower.com Field will be christened July 3 against the New England Revolution.

COPENHAGEN - Denmark are without a point in a Euro 2020 campaign dominated by Christian Eriksen's cardiac arrest, but they hope fans will rouse them for Monday's last-chance game against Russia.
"It's like our Euros are starting right now," coach Kasper Hjulmand said on Sunday ahead of the game at Parken Stadium in Copenhagen where fans have stayed passionately behind the team during narrow defeats to Finland and Belgium.
