Good morning! Here is today’s summary from Sports Newspapers:
- England will face Spain in the Euro 2024 final on Sunday. This was possible after they defeated the Netherlands 2-1 in the semi-final encounter on Wednesday night.
- Colombia will face Argentina in the Copa America 2024 final on Sunday night. This was possible after they defeated Uruguay 1-0 in the semi-final on Wednesday night.
- The USA have sacked head coach Gregg Berhalter following their Copa America group-stage exit. This month they became the first host nation to be eliminated from the group phase after defeats by Panama and Uruguay.
- Jelena Ostapenko dramatically banished her own coach from the No.1 Court during her Wimbledon quarter-final match against Barbora Krejcikova. Ostapenko was seen trying to dismiss someone from her box during the second set – but they all initially remained – which only increased her frustrations.
- Netherlands boss Ronald Koeman criticised the use of video assistant referees (VAR) for “breaking football” after England were awarded a contentious penalty in Tuesday’s tense Euro 2024 semi-final. The Dutch had taken an early lead through Xavi Simons’ powerful strike but Gareth Southgate’s side were handed a lifeline when Harry Kane was caught on the follow-through by Denzel Dumfries after the England captain had already shot over the bar.
