This game has been stressful to watch. After an uneventful first half, in which the Americans hit every part of the goalposts but couldn't find the back of the net, Alex Morgan finally capitalized on this beautiful goal. Japan tied it up a few minutes later. If you're not watching now — and if you didn't celebrate like the portly young man who flashes the camera here — then yes, you're a bad American.

He has now got his wish, sealing a switch back to San Siro for the 2022-23 season less than a year after leaving for a huge fee.
We re back baby. I m very happy, thanks for the compliments. Remember three years …

Lopetegui won the only competitive match between the two coaches Sevilla s 3-2 triumph over Inter in the 2020 Europa League final but they had to share the result this time, with Ivan Rakitic equalising after Harry Kane s opener in Suwon.
Sevilla had the majority of possession over the opening 45 minutes but their best chance came in transition, with Rafa Mir botching a one-on-one opportunity with Hugo Lloris.
To reinforce their lack of penetration with the ball, Kane scored after Rodrigo Bentancur won the ball high up the pitch in 50th minute, before substitute Rakitic rifle…
