If you like your European midweek football this is the week for you, with 54 Champions League, Europa League and Conference League matches being crammed into three nights. The Champions League kicked things off with some of the competition’s favourites beginning to bare their teeth. It was also, incredibly, their 31st defeat from 37 Champions League group stage away games. Ilkay Gundogan, Phil Foden, Erling Haaland and a first Champions League goal for James McAtee saw City get their first win of this year’s competition. They lost a number of key players in the summer and can’t even play Champions League games at their own home, with the 15,000 capacity Stade Francis-Le Ble not up to Champions League standards (they’re hosting matches at Guingamp’s Stade du Roudourou instead).

☆ Team USA wins nail-biter vs. France to secure 8th consecutive gold in women’s basketball

PARIS — France was the official opponent; Team USA, its own worst enemy. And against an eager, home-crowd boosted team like France, it sure looked like the U.S. picked a bad game to have a bad game. This was not the kind of game that Team USA had built its reputation on and not the kind of play that looked worthy of eight consecutive gold medals, let alone one. AdvertisementThe chemistry and flow that showed itself in spurts throughout the Olympics seemed to be missing in the most important game. On Sunday night in Paris, Team USA extended its win streak, secured another gold medal and stayed atop the world.

He was courageous enough to try to do one of the hardest things in running, win a race from the front, wire-to-wire. 😱 A STUNNING upset in the men’s 1500m as AMERICAN COLE HOCKER takes gold! This was the race that all running nerds had circled on their Olympic schedules, but not because of Hocker. Oldest brother Henrik finished fifth in the 1,500 meters at the 2012 Olympics. He said he tried to respond, but ran out of gas – 1500 meters had proven “just 100 meters too much.”“I ruined it for myself by going way too hard,” he said.

☆ Who’s going to win the PGA Championship? Breaking down a crowded leaderboard

Follow live coverage of the final round of the 2024 PGA Championship todayLOUISVILLE, Ky. — Justin Thomas predicted it so perfectly. Six of the biggest names in golf are within two shots of the lead on Sunday at the year’s second major championship. It served as a reminder — just as his hot start at the Masters did — of the truth about DeChambeau: Golf hated DeChambeau. That combined with a PGA Championship win to add to his 2013 U.S. Open win at Merion takes Rose from solid career to one of the best European golfers of the century. It coming at a PGA Championship (often viewed as the lowest of the four majors) wouldn’t help.

☆ Gaslit, gaslighted... gaslated? The word has flummoxed the internet for years. It turns out the answer is complicated.

Internet users have turned to the web for years to find the past tense of "gaslight." A linguist TikToker went viral when he joked "gaslighted" and "gaslit" were both wrong. AdvertisementPeople have been trying to agree on the past tense of "gaslight" for years, and a viral video has just added more confusion to the mix. With the rise in the term's popularity has also come confusion about its past tense. AdvertisementAs the background lights slowly dimmed throughout the course of the TikTok, he insisted the correct past tense was, in fact, "gaslated."

☆ Сначала Роналду, затем Погба и Локателли. Футболисты убрали бутылки с пивом и колой на пресс-конференции

На следующий день после того, как Роналду отодвинул две бутылки Coca-Cola на пресс-конференции и призвал людей пить воду, Поль Погба убрал бутылку пива Heineken, а футболист сборной Италии Локателли поставил бутылку воды и убрал бутылки с колой. 28-летний француз не стал комментировать этот вопрос — просто незаметно переместил безалкогольное пиво и поставил его под стол во время послематчевой пресс-конференции. Это произошло на пресс-конференции после победы над Германией. Футболист был награжден Heineken титулом «звезда матча». Ранее, Криштиану Роналду на пресс-конференции убрал две бутылки с Coca-Cola.
