🎥 OTD: Russo's epic finish when Lionesses reached EURO 2022 final
On the eve of England's second consecutive Women's EURO final, it's worth looking back at the game that booked their place at Wembley in 2022. The Lionesses clinched the nation's first major trophy since 1966 when they beat Germany in extra-time three years ago, but their semi-final performance against Sweden was one of the standout games of the tournament. Sarina Wiegman's side cruised past their opponent 4-0 at Bramall Lane, with Beth Mead, Lucy Bronze, Alessia Russo and Fran Kirby on the scoresheet. It was Russo who produced one of the most memorable moments of the entire campaign with her backheel in the 68th minute. England have once again overcome Sweden en route to this year's final, but will they have enough to see off Spain in Sunday's showpiece event to retain their title? 📸 Naomi Baker - 2022 Getty Images

Letters to Sports: Time for Dodgers to make some changes
Between Mookie Betts hustling down the first-base line and Freddie Freeman's walk-off hit, Wednesday's Dodger victory over the Twins brought back great memories of last year's World Series. Hopefully this game will be a catalyst for getting the Dodgers out of the funk they have been in. Moving six-time right field Gold Glover Betts back to right (although his defense at short has been fine) would also propel the Dodgers to — as Tommy Lasorda used to say — taste the fruits of victory more often. Ken FeldmanTarzana Bill Plaschke and Dylan Hernández, where are you guys when we really need you? Why aren't you beating the drum loudly and repeatedly for the return of Mookie Betts to right field? Yeah, I know Mookie says it's not a factor in his slump. Would he ever admit that? Of course not. And Dave Roberts agrees … publicly, but I'd bet privately he feels otherwise. It was a lame idea to begin with. Who did they need to make room for out there, the next Ted Willams? And currently they have someone in Miguel Rojas who's probably a better fielder and at the moment even a better hitter. Please get the front office to do what's right before it's too late. Jack WishardLos Angeles I have never seen a bullpen for a pro baseball team that walked as many batters as the current one for the Dodgers. A relief pitcher who can't throw strikes is like a teacher who can't read. Unless this 'Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight' gets replacements and reinforcements soon they may have trouble making the postseason before it is all over, let alone repeating their championship. Alan AbajianAlta Loma Unfortunately, the Dodgers are not impervious to injury issues. The last time I checked, all teams experience injuries. Hopefully the team will deal with the issues rather than finding excuses as to why they're no longer 'baseball's evil empire.' Patrick KelleyLos Angeles My grandmother said she would like to pitch for the Dodgers. I think she will fit right in. Deborah R. IshidaBeverly Hills Just like the Lakers, the Clippers get their own 40-year-old player in Chris Paul. The Clippers always emulate the Lakers minus the results. Wayne MuramatsuCerritos Regarding the Chargers trying to curry favor and regain the loyalty of their old San Diego fans, some advice: If you want to keep your fans, don't ditch your hometown! Jack WolfWestwood As I watched the majesty and uniqueness of 'The Open' golf championship, my thoughts were of the man who saved this masterpiece of golf from becoming irrelevant. In the late 1950's, most PGA pros were starting to skip this tournament because of the relatively low purse and significant travel involved. Interest in this championship was waning. Then, Arnold Palmer came along and changed everything! In 1960, he traveled to the Open and continued to do so every year for many years during the peak period of his popularity,. As a result, 'The Open' maintained its place as one of the four majors of golf and the rest is history. William R. FadoPacific Palisades The WNBA All Stars wearing T-shirts demanding more money has redefined the word delusional. Since its inception, the WNBA has hemorrhaged money and been subsidized by the NBA. But for the fortuity of the Caitlin Clark phenomenon, the league would likely be bankrupt, not adding expansion teams and signing a lucrative new TV deal. Some free advice: Protect your cash cow (Clark), rather than killing it for hamburgers. Mark S.

Rory McIlroy delivers perfect response to Masters question as he parties in Saint Tropez
Rory McIlroy hit back with a witty reply to a supporter when asked about the whereabouts of his Masters green jacket. The five-time major champion completed the career Grand Slam at Augusta National back in April when he claimed an emotional play-off triumph over Justin Rose to become only the sixth player to accomplish the achievement. Despite not claiming victory at an event since, the 36-year-old has decent form of late with three recent top three finishes. READ MORE: Rory McIlroy hailed for 'hilarious' Happy Gilmore 2 'purple-nurple' scene with WWE star despite critics panning movie READ MORE: Inside the five-star hotel where Rory McIlroy stayed during the Open Championship McIlroy is presently taking a break from competition after the 153rd Open at Royal Portrush. Nevertheless, he still drew attention from supporters whilst visiting a beach club in Saint Tropez. In footage posted on social media, a supporter can be observed holding their mobile phone towards McIlroy. The screen displays the question "Where's the green jacket?" Upon noticing the phone, McIlroy gestures to the supporter and responds: "It's on the yacht." His answer was instantly greeted with applause and giggles from the supporter, who shouts: "Yes, let's go!". Following his victory at Augusta, McIlroy was presented with his green jacket from 2024 Masters winner Scottie Scheffler after his success. The world number two can don it as he wishes for 12 months. However, he must then return it to Augusta National, where it must stay on the club premises. Alongside the jacket, McIlroy also received a gold medal, a replica of the Masters trophy and a staggering £3.2million in prize money for his triumph. McIlroy's jaunt to Saint Tropez comes after a tied-seventh finish at The Open last weekend. Before this, he finished in a tie for second at the Scottish Open the previous week. Despite not securing the claret jug, McIlroy was greeted with a hero's welcome as he approached the 18th green on Sunday at Royal Portrush. The Holywood man has not confirmed if he will be taking part in next week's Wyndham Championship, but he will be involved in the FedEx Cup play-offs in August.
