Qualifiers: Depay scores and nears historic milestone for the Netherlands ✅
Qualifiers: Depay scores and nears historic milestone for the Netherlands ✅ Memphis Depay helped the Netherlands win in their World Cup qualifying debut this Saturday (7). The Corinthians player scored the first goal of the away match against Finland in Group G of the tournament. Advertisement Just five minutes into the game, he took advantage of a poor back pass, faced the goalkeeper one-on-one, and scored with a first-time shot. With the goal, Depay reached 48 in his career wearing the Dutch national team jersey, just two shy of matching the country's all-time top scorer, Robin van Persie. Denzel Dumfries, still in the first half, extended the visitors' lead, sealing the score at 2-0. Besides the Netherlands and Finland, the group also includes Poland, Lithuania, and Malta. Only the top team qualifies directly for next year's World Cup. The second place goes to a playoff involving a total of 16 European teams competing for four spots. England gave a scare The other heavyweight team that took the field for the World Cup qualifiers this Saturday was England. Advertisement The team led by Thomas Tuchel experienced a drama to overcome Andorra, ranked 173rd by FIFA. The 1-0 scoreline was achieved with a goal by Harry Kane early in the second half.

Katie Ledecky, Bobby Finke, Gretchen Walsh win third titles at nationals, history calls at worlds
Katie Ledecky, Bobby Finke and Gretchen Walsh capped the Toyota U.S. Swimming Championships by each winning their third event of the meet on Saturday. They will lead the U.S. team at the World Championships in July and August in Singapore. Advertisement Ledecky extended a 15-year win streak in the 1500m freestyle, an event where she holds the 23 fastest times in history. She clocked 15 minutes, 36.76 seconds, distancing the field by more than 25 seconds in Indianapolis. Ledecky has the world's fastest times this year in the 400m, 800m and 1500m frees. At worlds, she can build on her female record 21 career world titles. SWIMMING: Results If Ledecky sweeps her three individual events and is part of a winning 4x200m free relay, she will move one shy of Michael Phelps' overall record 26 world titles. She is also one medal shy of Ryan Lochte for the second-most total medals in championships history. Phelps earned 33, Lochte had 27 and Ledecky is at 26 overall. Advertisement Australian Ariarne Titmus, the Olympic 400m free gold medalist and 800m free silver medalist, is taking a break from competition this year. So Ledecky's primary competition will be 18-year-old Canadian Summer McIntosh, the Olympic 400m free silver medalist ahead of Ledecky. McIntosh is also the second-fastest woman in history in the 800m free behind Ledecky. She did not race it at the Paris Games, but said last week that she might do so in Singapore. Walsh has the world's top times this year in the 50m and 100m butterflies and the 50m free, which she won at nationals on Saturday. Walsh tied training partner Kate Douglass' American record of 23.91 seconds. Advertisement She seeks her first individual title at a major international meet in a 50-meter pool. Walsh won seven gold medals and broke nine individual world records at last December's world short course championships in the less-used 25-meter pool. Finke won the 800m and 1500m frees at nationals — his two Olympic gold medal events — plus the 400m individual medley, though he won't race that event at worlds. The 1500m free and 400m IM finals are in the same session in Singapore. Finke is already a world champion in the 800m, but in the 1500m he will bid to become the first American man to win that event at worlds since Tim Shaw in 1975. Also Saturday, Shaine Casas and Alex Walsh won the men's and women's 200m individual medleys in the fastest and second-fastest times in the world this year, respectively.

Paris 2024 Olympic Games - Day One Ariarne Titmus: 'I know that the LA Olympics will be my last' Ariarne Titmus won two swimming gold medals for Australia at Tokyo 2020 and at Paris 2024.
