GonzΓ‘lez’s double inspires Spain to emphatic Euro 2025 win over Portugal The minute’s silence was immaculate, poignant, loaded, and ultimately broke into applause. β€œRest in piece Diogo Jota,” spelled a series of cards held up behind InΓͺs Pereira’s goal; the air was thick with emotion in those moments and one of the first things to say is that Portugal’s players deserve the highest admiration for turning out to compete. They may not have shared a dressing room with Jota or his equally mourned brother, AndrΓ© Silva, but that cannot minimise the fact two members of their nation’s close-knit footballing family had been taken away in devastating circumstances. It took guts and no little honour to show up and keep running, scrapping, hunting for moments to take pride in while Spain set about reaffirming their status as runaway favourites for this competition. Spain themselves deserve credit for resisting any temptation to go easy, starting at a rattling pace and completing a thoroughly professional job. In their case that often means administering a sound beating and there is no escaping that they delivered one here. Continue reading...

Arsenal: Champions League winners to play all home WSL games at Emirates Stadium next season Women's Champions League winners Arsenal will stage all 11 of their WSL home games at Emirates Stadium in the new season.

Arsenal women are on their way to becoming established not just the best women’s team in Europe but bigger than many male 1st tier European clubs.
Average crowds should top 40 000 and the days of giving tickets away for a fiver have long gone.

You can’t support Pride and fund attacks on LGBTQ+ people | Good Law Project Firms who advertise on GB News are paying for a channel built on hatred. It’s time for companies to pick a side – hate or Pride.

Hate or Pride?

Burberry, Adobe, KLM, Listerine, Nissan, Radisson Hotels, SoundCloud, Squarespace, Trainline and VistaPrint: the big brands that fund GB News' revolting homophobia whilst claiming to support Pride.

Here's how you write to them and ask them to choose.

So the World Sevens is supposed to happen 4 times a year with at least one more in North America in fall this year. And I understood they are also planning one in Asia for now. Would be awesome if they would get all the winners together for the ultimate W7F winner. #W7F

"Blackburn Rovers have withdrawn from Women’s Super League 2 next season after deciding against paying to meet the division’s minimum standards, with their decision underlining the fragility of the women’s domestic game"[Times]

LaBonta has a degree in engineering from Stanford. In 2015 the NWSL minimum salary was $6,842. At any point in her soccer career LaBonta could have made substantially more money outside the sport.

She was waived by Sky Blue and eventually found her way to the FC Kansas City practice squad. (1/x)

It’s important to look back to contextualise the present.

'Ruck You' rugby match will see trans women face ex-internationals - Outsports Former England prop Sasha Acheson tells Outsports she hopes the game will challenge perceptions of trans athletes.

NEW: A rugby match between a team of trans women players and a team featuring former international women’s players is set to be held in Oslo on June 1.

Ex-England prop Sasha Acheson tells me why she’s making it happen, three years after the RFU’s trans ban.

Sometimes we see teams buy big name players who are great on paper, but the chemistry and connection is missing. How do we ensure (or maximise) the chemistry on the pitch with whoever we bring in?

I’ve had the privilege of playing on the same team as Emily several times over the years. She is kind, brave, and deserves the world.

We should call the ban out for what it is: the FA is banning trans kids from playing grassroots sports with their friends. It’s not about protecting women at all.

I completely agree. All the petitions do (additionally to what Lee says) is make people feel like they've done something so they don't end up doing something else more effective (talking to people, writing to MPs/orgs etc). It stifles resistance.

Rated Baggaley ever since she was at Bristol City. I think she’s a class keeper, so seeing everyone melt down as she pulled off save after save against Arsenal is funny.

Or it would be if I weren’t an Arsenal fan.

A Guatemalan woman who gave birth in Tucson on Wednesday β€” days after entering Arizona through the desert and getting arrested by border agents β€” is facing rapid deportation proceedings under Trump's "expedited removal" policy, which could put her and her baby's health and safety at risk, according to an immigration attorney.

But Department of Homeland Security officers, who are posted outside the woman's Tucson Medical Center hospital room, are refusing to let the new mother speak to a lawyer, as she's requested, the Tucson attorney, Luis Campos, told the Arizona Daily Star on Thursday.

After days walking through the Southern Arizona desert, the woman was apprehended by Border Patrol earlier this week and put into detention, until agents transported her to the hospital to give birth on Wednesday, Campos said.

It is truly incredible that these people believe they are on the side of right. Racism is a hell of a drug.
