In a duel previously considered a "Classic", both teams gave us a goalless draw tonight, but with plenty of action.

Stay and enjoy the three protagonists of the match:
Keylor Navas
Without a doubt, Miguel Herrera's greatest success was getting Keylor Navas back in goal for Costa Rica. The goalkeeper shone under the bar, stopped Mexico's attack, and finished the game without conceding a goal.
Raúl Jiménez
The Fulham striker was a major threat to the Costa Rican team, especially in the first half. The Mexican wants to break the record for most goals for the Mexican national team and today led several dangerous plays, but Navas denied them all.
Santiago Giménez
We're not talking about the AC Milan striker for his great game today, but because he starred in the play that could have decided the match. Giménez scored the winning goal with a scissors kick, but it was disallowed for offside.

Report – Parma Holding Out For €30M For Inter Milan & AC Milan Target
Report – Parma Holding Out For €30M For Inter Milan & AC Milan Target Parma are holding out for a fee of Inter Milan and AC Milan linked defender Giovanni Leoni this summer. This according to today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement It is certainly no secret that Giovanni Leoni is attracting transfer interest. Parma only signed the teenage defender last summer. Reportedly they paid Sampdoria a fee of around €7 million. However, that bet looks to have paid off in a big way for the Gialloblu. Giovanni Leoni enjoyed an outstanding season with Parma. Particularly towards the end of the campaign. The 18-year-old looked extremely comfortable at the heart of Parma's defense as they avoided relegation under Cristian Chivu.

Gold Cup: USA beats Haiti to stay unbeaten, coach wowed by Tillman
American midfielder Malik Tillman scored in the 10th minute of a win over Haiti in the Gold Cup group stage Sunday in Arlington, Texas. Photo by Dustin Safranek/EPA-EFE June 23 (UPI) -- Malik Tillman drew first blood before Patrick Agyemang played hero with a 75th minute game-winner to lead the United States Men's National Team past Haiti, securing a perfect 3-0 record in the Gold Cup group stage. Brenden Aaronson and John Tolkin logged assists in the 2-1 victory Sunday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The Americans outshot the Haitians 18-8, dominated possession 65% to 34.2% and held a 606-310 edge in passes. "Overall it was a good performance," U.S. coach Mauricio Pochettino said. "I think we were not a clinic with the chances that we had. I think we should have scored more." Pochettino, who is now 8-5 as coach of the Americans, said his players overcame doubt from an early error to secure the win and group-stage crown. That miscue came in the 19th minute, when a turnover from goalie Matt Freese led to an immediate equalizer. "We scored and then had an accident that we conceded a goal," Pochettino said. "I think that created a little bit of doubt in us. I think it was tough to deal with that. But I think overall the performance was good in the first half. "The second half was a little bit better." The Americans' initial attack was denied during the game's first scoring sequence. Aaronson eventually regained control of the ball after his first shot was denied. The veteran winger then got the ball on his right foot and sliced a cross toward the far post. Tillman hovered into the area and finished the play with a header, which beat Haitian goalie Johny Placide. The 10th-minute score was the third of the tournament for the American center midfielder. "Malik, it is difficult to define him," Pochettino said of Tillman. "What a player that is showing all of his talent and capacity. .... What a talented player. So pleased with him. "He is a lovely guy. He started to find himself. When he can show it, it is welcome. I think the team is much better when he is involved in the game." The elation from the Tillman score lasted less than nine minutes, with the Haitians capitalizing on the Americans' 19th-minute error for their equalizer. Center back Tim Ream started that sequence when he passed back to Freese. The American goalie then mishit a short pass to his left, kicking the ball directly to Haitian winger Louicius Don Deedson. Louicius proceeded to finish with a left-footed shot just inside the far post. The Americans manufactured several more chances, but went into the second half tied with their visitors. They appeared to earn another lead in the 64th minute, but that score was negated because Tillman hit the ball into the net with his arm. Agyemang eventually netted the game-winner by beating Placide in the 75th minute. Tolkin sparked that score with a pass from behind midfield. Agyemang tracked down the long feed from the American left back, tapped the ball around Placide at the top of the box and used his left boot to calmly ground a shot into the right side of the net. The American defense held up over the remainder of regulation to secure the group-stage title. The U.S. men will take on Costa Rica in a Gold Cup quarterfinal at 7 p.m. EDT Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. The winner will play in a semifinal at 6 p.m. July 2 in St. Louis. The Gold Cup final will be held at 6 p.m. July 6 in Houston.

US captain Bradley open to Ryder Cup playing role
Keegan Bradley has won the Travelers Championship twice in three years [Getty Images] US captain Keegan Bradley says he will have a "hard look" at whether he should play in September's Ryder Cup after his dramatic one-shot victory in the Travelers Championship on Sunday. Bradley, 39, birdied the last hole of his final round in Connecticut to deny England's Tommy Fleetwood his first PGA Tour title. Advertisement Victory moved him seventh in the world rankings and ninth in the American Ryder Cup qualification standings. The top six in the latter qualify automatically for the event in Bethpage, New York, with another six players given captain's picks. Arnold Palmer was the Ryder Cup's last playing captain, when he led the US team aged 34 in 1963. "It's still June so we have got a long way to go [but] this definitely changes things a little bit," said Bradley - the youngest captain since Palmer. "This definitely opens the door to play. I don't know if I'm going to do it or not but I certainly have to take a pretty hard look at what's best for the team. Advertisement "Every year I was out here, I wanted to play on the Ryder Cup team, and then this would be the first year where maybe I didn't want to. I just wanted to be the captain and, of course, this is what happens." Bradley's most recent Ryder Cup appearance was in the defeat at Gleneagles in 2014, having also played on the losing side two years earlier. He missed out on a place in 2023 when Justin Thomas, who was below him on the points list and struggling for form, was preferred by captain Zach Johnson Bradley was named captain this time after Tiger Woods turned down the opportunity. He insisted he would not give up the captaincy if he did make the team but could take on a dual role with the help of vice-captains Webb Simpson, Brandt Snedeker, Kevin Kisner and Jim Furyk. Advertisement "I never really planned on playing," he said. "Now, with the amazing vice-captains I have, I feel a lot more comfortable if I went that route. "I had this epiphany at the PGA Championship when I was getting these loud 'USA' cheers. "I don't think any player in the history of the game has experienced what I'm experiencing in that I'm a Ryder Cup captain, in my eyes still one of the best players in the world trying to win majors and tournaments, coming down the stretch of a tournament." Bradley said when he was asked to be captain, the first thing the PGA of America told him was they wanted him to be the first playing captain since Palmer. Advertisement "My head was spinning," he said. "I didn't know what they were talking about, but they knew that was a possibility and that we would have things in place for that. "A year ago I don't know if I would have thought I would be seventh in the world but I certainly thought I would be contending in tournaments." How can Bradley play at the Ryder Cup? The top six players following the BMW Championship on 17 August 2025 will automatically qualify for the US team. World number four Justin Thomas is sixth in the US Ryder Cup rankings on 9,997.69 points, with Bradley ninth on 7845.22. Advertisement Bradley has the opportunity to boost his rankings with 10 more tournaments to be held before the deadline, including the year's final major - The Open at Portrush. Players making the cut receive one point per $1,000 earned at Tour events, which rises to 1.5 points per $1,000 earned at the Open. The other six players in the US Ryder Cup team will be chosen by Bradley as captains' pick. These are announced in August following the Tour Championship, which finishes on 24 August. If Bradley does not qualify automatically, he could in theory pick himself. Captain's picks were introduced for Team Europe in 1979 and for the US in 1989.
