Both teams will be looking to win the competition for the first time, with the United States emerging victorious on all three previous occasions.

Sloppy England give Tuchel food for thought on road to World Cup
Thomas Tuchel will put England's flops to the test in Tuesday's friendly against Senegal after admitting their sloppy 1-0 win over Andorra underlined how much they need to improve ahead of the World Cup. Tuchel's side were booed in Saturday's World Cup qualifier in Barcelona after failing to impress against a team ranked 173rd in the world. Advertisement Harry Kane's 50th-minute goal extended Tuchel's winning start to three games. But after underwhelming victories over Albania and Latvia in March, the Euro 2024 runners-up were well below their best in a dismal display that left Tuchel bemoaning his players' lacklustre attitude. "The last half-an-hour I don't like it at all because I think we lacked everything that is needed in a World Cup qualifier," Tuchel said. "There's lots to get better. At the moment everything is a learning period so we're smarter than before. "We will talk about it honestly and directly and try to do it better." Advertisement Senegal sit 19th in the world rankings and will pose the toughest test for Tuchel since he took charge at the start of the year. With only a small number of international breaks left before the 2026 World Cup, Tuchel won't go easy on his players, even though they looked fatigued after a gruelling domestic campaign. "I don't forget because there's not so many matches," he said. "I think it's necessary that we have a good look at it and then present in detail to the players what we don't like, and to present it in a video session what we have to do better and what are the standards and what we did good." Advertisement - 'We got away with it' - Kane has scored in all three matches under Tuchel, his former manager at Bayern Munich, with his latest effort extending the striker's England record tally to 72. But England captain Kane took little pleasure from his latest goal and echoed Tuchel's belief that the Andorra game should be used as a lesson. "It's down to us now to go analyse it, look back and try and learn from it because condition-wise it's going to be very similar to next summer -- dry pitch, warm weather, humid," he said. "We were just lacking quality, looked a bit fatigued both physically and mentally and, yeah, we got away with it because we're a good team and they had a couple of half-chances there where we didn't get punished. But ultimately, it wasn't good enough." Advertisement Tuchel wants England to play with a more dynamic approach that mirrors the swashbuckling style used by many Premier League teams. But he knows it will be hard to implement his tactics with so few opportunities to work with the players. "Absolutely. It's our second camp. I think we can do much better, all of us, and that includes me," he said. "It always takes two to tango, but we need to do better at breaking down deep opponents. We played now three times against a 5-4-1, but there are no excuses. "The lack of counter-pressing and the lack of ball wins and the lack of being aggressive in duels is basic in football. "If you don't show this, then it becomes more or less a game that we saw, which is not attractive, which does not have the quality that we want to show." smg/kca/pi

Chet Holmgren can't pull disappearing act in NBA Finals again. OKC needs his offense.
Chet Holmgren can't pull disappearing act in NBA Finals again. OKC needs his offense. As Oklahoma City's third-leading scorer behind NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and All-Star Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren needs to be more involved and productive offensively in Game 2. Show Caption Hide Caption Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Thunder trying 'to get better through' losses in NBA Playoffs For Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder, "the losses are louder" than the wins in the NBA Playoffs, but nothing really changes for OKC after a loss. OKLAHOMA CITY — At 7-foot-1, it's difficult to go unnoticed. But for the majority of his 23 minutes, 31 seconds in Game 1, Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren was invisible, a non-factor in the Indiana Pacers' stunning 111-110 victory Thursday, June 5. Holmgren scored a playoffs-low six points on 2-for-9 shooting, including a miss on his only 3-point attempt. It was also his third-fewest minutes on the court in the playoffs. He also had just 28 touches offensively compared to 40 touches in the series clinching Game 5 of the Western Conference finals against Minnesota. He had 47 touches in Game 4 against the Timberwolves. As Oklahoma City's third-leading scorer behind NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and All-Star Jalen Williams, Holmgren needs to be more involved and productive offensively in Game 2 against the Pacers on Sunday, June 8 (8 p.m. ET, ABC). 'I feel like I could have slowed down, kind of finished some of those plays at the rim,' Holmgren said. 'Obviously it hurts in a one-point loss. One single difference on one single play could have decided the whole game. Puts a magnifying glass on every single instance in the game.' OPINION: How Pacers coach Rick Carlisle helped Thunder GM Sam Presti break into NBA C-suite OPINION: Thunder regret fumbling NBA Finals Game 1 Of Holmgren's seven missed shots, six were in the paint, including four that were considered layups in the shot chart. 'Above everything else, just worrying more about impacting the game in all of the facets and just try to let that take care of itself. If you just focus on that, you're going to start putting a lot more pressure on that and you're not going to be focused on everything else that's important, too.' The Thunder used a different starting lineup in Game 1, inserting guard Cason Wallace in place of center Isaiah Hartenstein. It went away from Oklahoma City's two-big lineup featuring Holmgren and Hartenstein. Through the first three rounds of the playoffs, the pair averaged 12.6 minutes on the court together. They did not log one minute together in Game 1. '… our responsibility is to be ready to execute no matter what the coaches ask us to do out there,' Holmgren said. 'In Game 1, that was to play more single-big. Whether the coaches ask us to do that or ask the team to go small or ask the team to go double-big, we have to be ready to do that and execute it, and that's what we have to focus on.' Thunder coach Mark Daigneault declined to say what he planned for his starting lineup in Game 2. 'I know we started the same lineup in the playoffs, but our rotation night to night in these series has been incredibly variant,' Daigneault said. 'We think that's a strength of our team. I liked how we started the game, and I liked, really, everything we did to build a 15-point lead, and then we didn't deliver down the stretch collectively. 'But we are always trying to learn from it. … We understand the tradeoffs with every lineup we put on the court. We'll continue to try to make every decision we can to give ourselves the best chance to win. That's what we did in Game 1. Didn't turn out in our favor, but that's what we'll do in Game 2 and moving forward.' Holmgren averaged 15.0 points on 49% shooting during the regular season and averaged 16.4 points on 48.9% shooting in the first three rounds of the playoffs. To a lesser extent but still important to the Thunder's success, they also require a more efficient game from Williams, who had 17 points on 19 shots. Daigneault did not want to address their performances specifically. 'I don't think anybody played their best game,' he said. 'Certainly, he didn't play his best game, but I don't think any of us did. That wasn't our best game, flat-out, with anybody.' MORE: How Shaq 'flipped the script,' expanding fortune after retirement ANALYSIS: Unsung heroes? Underrated players who could make a difference in NBA Finals But Daigneault also reminded NBA media that both players were drafted in 2022 – Holmgren No. 2 and Williams No. 12. They are 23 and 24 years old, respectively, starring on the youngest team to make the NBA Finals since 1954-55. Holmgren, who missed the 2022-23 season, has played in 114 regular-season games and just 27 playoffs games the past two seasons. Despite his role, he has limited experience and is in his first Finals. 'What I will say is like he and Dub, specifically, obviously they have carved out huge roles on our team,' Daigneault said. 'They are a huge reason why we're here. They are in an uncommon position for third-year players. … Usually delivering in the Finals is not on the curriculum for third-year players.' But, that's how the Thunder are built, and Holmgren and Williams have earned their roles as the two main scorers after Gilgeous-Alexander. You win – or lose – with what got a team to this point. 'They have thrust themselves into that situation, which is a credit to them,' Daigneault. 'And now that they are here, they have to continue to do what they have done all the way through the playoffs, which is go out there, fully compete, learn the lessons, and apply it forward. 'And they have done a great job of that. You've seen that over the course of the playoffs. They haven't always played their best game, but they always get themselves ready to play the next one. The last guy I'm worried about that is Chet.' Pacers coach Rick Carlisle shared his concern: 'Chet is going to be more aggressive.' That's definitely part of the Thunder's plan to even the series. Holmgren needs to make his presence known.

What channel is UNC-Arizona on? Time, TV schedule for Chapel Hill Super Regional Game
What channel is UNC-Arizona on? Time, TV schedule for Chapel Hill Super Regional Game Here's all the broadcasting information you need to know for Game 3 of the Chapel Hill Super Regional between UNC and Arizona. Game 2 of the Chapel Hill Super Regional proved to be plenty more exciting than Friday's opener, with both UNC and Arizona combining for 18 runs. The only issue: despite holding a late lead, North Carolina's usually-stellar pitching faltered. Arizona, acting as the home team for Game 2, turned a 2-run deficit into a 10-8 victory and kept its season alive. Facing a 6-4 deficit entering the seventh inning, the Diamond Heels pushed across four runs to take an 8-6 lead. Right fielder Tyson Bass started the scoring party with a 2-strike, 2-out, 3-run home run to left field, then Jackson Van De Brake drew a bases-loaded walk. Walker McDuffie, UNC's typically-reliable freshman closer, allowed four runs and took the loss Saturday afternoon. Wildcats (43-19) right fielder Brendan Summerhill started his team's rally, doubling into left field and closing North Carolina's lead to 8-7. Easton Breyfogle tied the game on a wild pitch, then Maddox Mihalakis mashed a 2-run single and gave Arizona the lead for good. The Diamond Heels will need more from their hitters on Sunday, particularly the top of their lineup. 1-5 hitters Kane Kepley, Van De Brake, Luke Stevenson, Gavin Gallaher and Hunter Stokely hit a combined 3-for-19, though Van De Brake walked four times. If Alex Madera, Bass, Sam Angelo (2-for-5) and Carter French (4-hit afternoon) can also deliver strong afternoons at the plate, celebration will ensue at Boshamer Stadium. Are you traveling to The Bosh for Game 3? Have a blast, continue filling the stands with Carolina Blue and cross your fingers for good luck. If you're watching on TV, your favorite streaming device, listening on the radio or placing bets like most fans, keep reading below for more broadcast information. What channel is North Carolina vs. Arizona on Sunday? Time, TV schedule, radio TV Channel: ESPN2 Time: 12 p.m. ET Radio: SiriusXM (Channel 193) Announcers: Eric Frede (play-by-play) and Jensen Lewis (analyst) Website: WatchESPN Where to watch UNC vs. Arizona on live stream Watch UNC vs. Arizona live on Fubo TV UNC vs. Arizona prediction, picks, odds Given how he pitched during the Chapel Hill Regional winner-take-all game against Oklahoma, I'm willing to bet Ryan Lynch starts for the Diamond Heels on Sunday. Lynch, combined with whoever North Carolina head coach Scott Forbes puts on the mound, cannot allow 10 runs to a hot Arizona squad. Despite UNC scoring eight runs on Saturday, hitters like Stevenson and Stokely need to come alive again. The Wildcats are getting contributions from virtually everyone in their lineup. North Carolina plays well enough to win Sunday, but hitting woes persist atop the lineup. Arizona escapes Boshamer Stadium and advances to the College World Series.
