Applebee's is bringing back its iconic Dollarita — a margarita that costs $1. "We've got our team members all geared up," Chief Marketing Officer Joel Yashinsky told Insider. After introducing the drink, Applebee's posted four consecutive quarters of same-store sales growth. Despite inflation, Yashinsky said Applebee's is able to keep the original $1 offer price because the ingredients have not increased in cost. Yashinsky did not provide an exact end date, though he told Insider that in the past, Applebee's has run the offer for a month at a time.

Jesus Ferreira's early header had sailed over the bar from Sergino Dest's cross in an encouraging start for the United States, but that was to prove a rare sight of goal for Gregg Berhalter's side. Arsenal goalkeeper Turner ensured the United States were not on the end of a heavier defeat with a string of fine saves in the second half. The 28-year-old kept out a 55th minute effort from Junya Ito before denying Kamada a second of the game 10 minutes later. But there was nothing Turner could do to prevent Mitoma from adding Japan's second in the 88th minute. The Japanese will be appearing at their seventh consecutive World Cup in November and have been drawn to face Germany, Spain and Costa Rica in the group phase while the United States meet England, Iran and Wales.
