Team USA experienced three very different performances during group play at the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup. The United States opened with a strong 94–61 victory over China, struggled through a tough 55–52 win against Italy, and then bounced back with a dominant 105–64 victory over Czechia. Is Team USA finally on the right track—or is France ready to get revenge for its heartbreaking one-point loss to the United States in the 2024 Olympic gold-medal game? We also discuss the US Open, where Coco Gauff and Frances Tiafoe are giving American tennis fans plenty to celebrate. We break down the great performances, surprising victories and disappointing exits—including Madison Keys and several other American contenders. Then it’s time for football! The San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams are taking their NFC West rivalry all the way to Melbourne for the first regular-season NFL game played in Australia. Is Australia a great move for the NFL’s global expansion—or is that long trip too demanding for the players and teams? Football is back, and we are excited about the upcoming season. More conversations, reactions and predictions are on the way!
