With a chance to enter the CONCACAF Gold Cup on a positive note, the U.S. men's national team instead continued its slide with an embarrassing 4-0 loss to Switzerland in a friendly at Nashville on Tuesday.

The U.S. squad is missing most of its best players, but it now takes a four-match losing streak into its Gold Cup opener against Trinidad and Tobago in San Jose, Calif., on Sunday.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. — The U.S. men’s national team suffered yet another setback in what has been a turbulent 2025, falling 2-1 to Turkiye in an international friendly at a rainy Rentschler Field on Saturday.

Lionel Messi delivered another masterclass performance on Saturday night, scoring twice and assisting twice in Inter Miami’s dominant 5-1 victory over the Columbus Crew at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale.

The United States women’s national team got their 2025 summer off to flying start on Saturday with a stellar 3-0 victory against China in a friendly.

USWNT head coach Emma Hayes will be pleased with her side as they controlled just about every aspect of the game. The big highlight was a brilliant Sam Coffey strike in the first half to double the USA’s lead.

In the 35th minute Catarina Macario received the ball in the box and laid it off to a wide open Coffey. The 26-year-old Portland Thorns midfielder made no mistake and ripped a shot into the net.

Paris Saint-Germain won their first Champions League title in style on Saturday with a dazzling 5-0 victory against Inter Milan full of world class moments. One highlight we loved was a fantastic Ousmane Dembélé backheel vs Inter that sprung the attack for PSG’s third goal.

In the 63rd minute the Frenchman was being closed down by two defenders and escaped the pressure with a perfect layoff to Vitinha. The clever move opened up the Inter defense and Vitinha slipped the ball through to Désiré Doué who finished coolly.

Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez combined for all four of Inter Miami’s goals on Wednesday during the Herons’ 4-2 home victory against Montreal.

BILBAO — Brennan Johnson's bundled first-half goal helped Tottenham Hotspur win a scrappy Europa League final 1-0 against Manchester United on Wednesday as they cast aside their domestic woes to earn a berth in next year's Champions League.

United's Rasmus Hojlund had a terrific chance to equalize with a header midway through the second half, but Spurs' Micky van de Ven leapt for a stunning clearance off the line.

MANCHESTER — Manchester City gave Kevin De Bruyne a victory in his final appearance at Etihad Stadium, as Omar Marmoush, Bernardo Silva and Nico Gonzalez scored in a 3-1 Premier League win over Bournemouth on Tuesday that saw them climb to third in the table.

The night belonged to captain De Bruyne, who played an emotional final game at Etihad Stadium after an illustrious 10-year career for City.

The Belgian, however, had a ridiculous first-half miss, hammering Marmoush's cross off the underside of the crossbar from close range and then holding his head in disbelief.

Barcelona secured their 28th LaLiga title on Thursday when they beat city rivals Espanyol 2-0, securing an unassailable seven-point lead over second-placed Real Madrid with two games left to play.

Following a 4-3 loss at Barcelona on Sunday, Real needed to win their final three games and hope the leaders didn't earn more than one point in the same period to maintain any mathematical chances of claiming the title.
