Chelsea's Cole Palmer surprised to share Club World Cup podium spotlight with Donald Trump
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Cole Palmer was jumping up and down behind Reece James as the Chelsea captain received the trophy for the Club World Cup, U.S. President Donald Trump to his left, standing between the midfielder and goalkeeper Robert Sánchez. "I knew it was going to be here, I didn't know he was going to be on the stand when we lifted to the trophy, so I was a bit confused," Palmer said. Palmer received the Golden Ball as top player of the tournament after scoring the first two goals in Chelsea's 3-0 smothering of Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday night. Trump appeared to leave the award stand with a medal of his own, handed to him by FIFA President Gianni Infantino right after the medallion presented to James. At 23, Palmer was selected player of the match for Chelsea's second straight final. He assisted twice in a 5-2 win over Real Betis on May 28 that won the Europa Conference League. He also scored the Blues' first goal in the 2-1 quarterfinal Club World Cup win over Palmeiras. He had his name up in the bright lights this weekend, posing for a photo in front of a huge video board of his image in a Nike ad emblazoned with the words: 'Scary Good,' part of a campaign that also features Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland and Vinícius Júnior. 'I've seen the billboards in Times Square and outside of Madison Square Garden,' Palmer said. 'It's a nice feeling to be obviously alongside.' Palmer had almost identical left-footed goals from just inside the penalty area in the 22nd and 30th minutes, then sent a through pass that enabled João Pedro to chip goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma in the 43rd for his third goal in two starts with the Blues. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, who wanted to exploit space on PSG's left flank, told his players he wanted them to attack from the opening whistle to set the tone. 'I think that we won the game in the first 10 minutes because we came out on the pitch to show that we were here to give it our all,' Maresca said. Chelsea went ahead after Sánchez kicked the ball downfield and Nuno Mendes mis-hit his header 15 yards past the midfield stripe toward his own goal. Malo Gusto's shot was blocked by Lucas Beraldo and rebounded to Palmer, who ended PSG's streak of 436 minutes without conceding. Palmer doubled the lead in the 30th when he ran onto a long ball from Levi Colwill and cut inside before shooting for his 18th goal of the season. 'It's a great feeling. Even better because obviously everyone doubted us before the game,' Palmer said. "The gaffer put a great gameplan out, and obviously, he knew where the space was going to be.' ___

French women's basketball player, 17, throws down dunk in game vs Belgium
Alicia Tournebize may not be a household name in women's basketball just yet, but it's viral moments like on Sunday that will get her name into fans' heads quickly. Tournebize helped France to a third-place finish in the FIBA U18 Women's EuroBasket 2025 over Belgium. The French won the game, 72-47. But the highlight moment came in the fourth quarter when she stole the ball away from her Belgian opponent. The 6-foot-4 athlete was in transition all by herself and threw down a sensational dunk. Tournebize, 17, scored 19 points and grabbed 12 rebounds as France picked up its fifth consecutive podium finish. The dunk was hardly Tournebize's first of her career. She became the first French women's basketball player to dunk in a game when she did it for Espoirs de Bourges in an NF2 league matchup. She then dunked for Tango Bourges Basket U18 back in February. The center will turn 18 in eight days from Sunday. French women's basketball has been on fire in the last 15 years. The French won the silver medal in the 2024 Olympics, bronze in the Tokyo Games and silver in London back in 2012. The team was fourth in Women's Eurobasket last June. A few Tango Bourges Basket players are currently on the national roster, including Tima Pouye and Pauline Astier.
