Italy captain Cristiana Girelli and defender Lucia Di Guglielmo cried as they walked around the field after an emotional semifinal loss — 2-1 after extra time to England on Tuesday — each with one arm around the other's waist.
They waved goodbye to fans and their shared Women's European Championship title hopes inside Stade de Genève, which had been a joyous second home for them in Switzerland.

Crowds expected as city 'strongest' event returns
Peterborough's Strongest is returning to Cathedral Square on Saturday, with hundreds of people expected to attend. Organised by Peterborough Positive, in partnership with Royals Gym, the free event will run from 10am to 5pm with competitors of all levels battling it out throughout the day. Challenges include the return of the 'Truck Pull' along with an introduction of the Viking Log Walk, a test of grit, balance and endurance, organisers said. Pep Cipriano, chief operating officer at Peterborough Positive, said the event not only entertains people but also helps "drive footfall into the city centre" supporting local businesses while creating memorable experiences. 'Real sense of occasion' "It's brilliant to see athletes and visitors engaging with this unique and inspiring competition, right in the heart of the city," he said. The event will be overseen by World Strongman Games athlete Craig Candler as head referee, and Josh Stanley, who placed third at the UK Natural Strongman event, as second referee. PJ Carter, current International Powerlifting League (IPL) Bench Press world number two, will again host it. Sam Fowler, founder of Royals Gym, said: "We're thrilled to be back in Cathedral Square. It's a fantastic location that creates an electric atmosphere and gives the competition a real sense of occasion.

Browns back in red zone
The Lions safety was taken to a local hospital for evaluation Getty Images Imagn Images Q3 6:25 - Browns 14, Panthers 7 And just like that, another long Shedeur Sanders completion down the field has the Browns inside the Panthers' 15-yard line. Q3 7:29 - Browns 14, Panthers 7 A great play on the ball from reserve Browns safety Nik Needham on a throw under pressure from Andy Dalton. Cleveland gets the ball in Carolina territory for the second time tonight — can Shedeur Sanders turn it into another touchdown drive? Q3 0:42 - Lions 17, Falcons 10 A former Georgia Bulldogs star scores in Atlanta. On first-and-goal, Kyle Allen uses his legs, rolling out to his right and throwing to Jackson Meeks for the touchdown. What an end to the third quarter for the Lions, who cap an 11-play, 57-yard drive with a touchdown. Detroit retakes the lead! Imagn Images Halftime - Patriots 27, Commanders 3 Josh Dobbs takes a couple of shots down the field on New England's last possession before the half, but he isn't able to convert on any of them, leading to a punt as the final seconds tick off the clock. The Patriots will have to settle for a 24-point lead at the break. Imagn Images Wide receiver Luke Floriea, who has impressed in camp and had the highlight of this game with his one-handed catch, is going to the locker room with members of the team medical staff. Q3 8:15 - Browns 14, Panthers 7 Another brutal three-and-out, this one by the Browns with Shedeur Sanders still out there. Imagn Images Have to feel for a quarterback like Andy Dalton playing in the second half of a preseason game. I get it that players need reps, but does a quarterback who has seen as much action as Dalton really need those reps? That can't be that enjoyable for a veteran like Dalton. Q3 10:20 - Browns 14, Panthers 7 That's one way to take a sack ... Andy Dalton pump-fakes a pass so hard, he slips and falls down! The loss of yardage essentially kills the Panthers' drive. Getty Images Q3 12:44 - Browns 14, Panthers 7 After Cleveland's defense forces a quick three-and-out, kick returner Gage Larvadain nearly takes the ensuing punt to the house, but a shoestring tackle saves an embarrassing sight for the Panthers. Shedeur Sanders is back out there to take over from near midfield. But he can't make anything come of it, as the Browns also start the second half with a quick three-and-out. Sanders shakes his head in frustration walking off the field. Q2 2:37 - Patriots 27, Commanders 3 New England's dominance in this matchup continues ... On fourth-and-goal, Josh Dobbs drops back and shuffles around the pocket before taking off into the end zone nearly untouched, capping off the sequence with a celebratory spike. The extra point by Borregales is good. Imagn Images Q3 15:00 - Browns 14, Panthers 7 In a bit of a surprise, Andy Dalton is still in there for the Panthers. We'll see how much longer the veteran Carolina second-stringer lasts in this game — and how much longer Shedeur Sanders goes, too, before he's pulled. Here's a look at how the yardage totals for the Browns and Panthers break down as the second half is about to kick off ... Q3 11:48 - Lions 10, Falcons 10 Wow! What a strike from Lions kicker Jake Bates. He blasts a 57-yard kick through the middle of the uprights, tying the game at 10. That's two kicks tonight of 57 yards. Kickers showing out in Atlanta! Getty Images This isn't the first time Shedeur Sanders has entered a setting with an abundance of hype and lived up to it. The Browns rookie is 11-for-18 with 103 pass yards, two touchdown passes and no interceptions. He also has 19 rushing yards on four carries. Imagn Images Q2 5:33 - Patriots 20, Commanders 3 Washington is finally on the board. It's been a quiet half for Sam Hartman, but he led a nice drive just now, spanning 12 plays and 50 yards. Matt Gay gets a bit of redemption after missing a field goal earlier, this time converting from 37 yards out. Imagn Images Q3 15:00 - Falcons 10, Lions 7 The second half is underway with Detroit having the ball first. Shedeur Sanders made arguably his best pass of the night on the Browns' sixth possession. He rolled to the right, and with a rusher in his face, lofted one downfield to wide receiver Luke Floriea for 30 yards. Three plays later, he was throwing his second TD pass of the night — again to Kaden Davis. Imagn Images Lions Kyle Allen: 2-for-2 passing, 79 yards, one touchdown Falcons Easton Stick: 15-for-18 passing, 149 yards, one touchdown Joining the chorus of those praising Shedeur Sanders' first taste of the NFL is none other than LeBron James, who also commented on Sanders' fall in the draft earlier this year.
