After four big wins in the quarterfinals, the United States, France, Spain, and Germany all earned their spots in the semifinals. Saturday's two matchups will be intense. Each team left in the competition can find its way to the finals. Let's take a look at the two semifinal games.
France has been putting up insane statistics during this tournament. Between breaking the single-game three-point record and heavily outscoring their opponents, it is safe to say they are the team to beat. However, this semifinal clash against Germany, who have home-court advantage, will be their biggest test of the tournament.
The good news for France is their depth. There are many strong players who have been coming off the bench and making an impact. One of those players is none other than Marine Johannès. Johannès ranks eighth in the tournament in points scored per game with 16.5. She is currently leading the tournament with 16 three-pointers made so far. Once again, Johannès is not starting in games and making a strong impact each time.

Meanwhile, starter Gabby Williams has been playing some of her best basketball in the World Cup. If she continues this strong play, France has a strong chance to make it into the finals.

France broke a three-day old record, making 22 3-pointers in its 111-56 win over Nigeria on Monday. The French team topped the 20 3-pointers that ****** an hit in its opening win over Mali.

Migna Toure's 3-pointer with 5:45 left was France's 21st of the game to top ****** an's record. She said she had no idea that France was even close to a record.
"I didn't know we broke the record, to me it was just a corner 3," Toure said.

Former UConn women's basketball star Gabby Williams has been tasked with leading an ultra-talented France squad that's hoping to finally knock off the United States at the FIBA Women's World Cup this month.
Williams was named captain of the Bleues Tuesday as she prepares to make her 56th appearance for France against Hungary Friday evening. She becomes the first active WNBA player to captain France at an Olympic Games or FIBA World Cup since 2014.
The Golden State Valkyries star takes over as captain from 32-year-old Valériane Ayayi, who returned to the WNBA after more than a decade this season with Phoenix. Sarah Michel, who played her entire club career overseas, captained France at the 2022 FIBA World Cup and 2024 Olympics before announcing her international retirement.
While Williams was born in Nevada, her mother, Thérèse, hails from France and the forward grew up speaking French. Excelling in both basketball and track - Williams competed in the 2012 Olympic trials - during her high school tenure, she committed to UConn over several high-profile suitors before the 2014-15 season. She used that athleticism to post one of just five triple-doubles in program history and left Storrs with two national championships and two second-team All-America selections.
Selected with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2018 draft, Williams experienced an uneven start to her professional career, playing in just 147 games over her first seven years - she was suspended for the entire 2021 season for choosing a commitment to the French national team over training camp with the Chicago Sky. She's realized her All-Star potential over the last two seasons, currently averaging a career-high 14.3 points to lead a surging 29-11 Golden State squad.

Women's basketball's biggest names are headed back to Miami for Season 3 of Unrivaled.
The 3x3 league co-founded by former UConn women's basketball greats Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier continues to thrive as the premier offseason domestic league for WNBA stars.
For the second straight year, Unrivaled will feature eight clubs when its third season tips off in January 2027 (official schedule not released yet). The league announced 46 of its 48 roster spots this weekend, with the final two players to be named later. Next season's roster features six former Huskies and five former Connecticut Sun stars.
Paige Bueckers, Olivia Miles and Gabby Williams highlight the 2027 roster as Bueckers returns for her second season in Unrivaled, while Miles and Williams will make their debut. Both Miles and Williams signed multi-year contracts with the league.
Also making their Unrivaled debuts this season are Bueckers' Dallas Wings teammate Jessica Shepard, Golden State Valkyries star Kayla Thornton, New York Liberty star Marine Johannes, Portland Fire star Bridget Carleton, and current Seattle Storm/former LSU star Flau'jae Johnson.

The FIBA World Cup is a very big deal in women's basketball, and it only comes around every four years, so you'd like for it to work smoothly. That is hardly the case for the event that begins on Friday in Berlin.
The timing, as it relates to the WNBA, is absurd. Here we have a nine-day tournament that finds the WNBA suddenly going dark near the end of its regular season, then resuming with only four games remaining per team.
The Valkyries' season goes on pause on Sunday (against Portland) and doesn't restart until Sept. 18. That's nearly a three-week break for the league's hottest team - all the while uncertain about their playoff opponent, with the seedings still to be determined.
They'll have four players engaged in the World Cup: Gabby Williams and Janelle Salaün (France), Cecilia Zandalasini (Italy) and Miela Sowah, a development player who has appeared in just five Valkyries games but was recently added to the Australian team.
Conveniently, the WNBA's eight-team playoff group is locked in, so that's one inconvenience out of the way. Certain teams and players could certainly use a break, but the league is understandably worried about injuries and, especially in the Valkyries' case, hard-earned momentum gone stale.

#team #case #season

NEW YORK (AP) — Cecilia Zandalasini scored 14 of her 20 points in the first half, Gabby Williams added 16 points and the Golden State Valkyries beat the New York Liberty 79-60 on Thursday night.
Golden State (28-11) improved to 3-0 against New York this season — the only team the Liberty have not beaten this season. The Valkyries held the Liberty to 70, 67 and 60 points in three games, the three lowest-scoring games of the season for New York.
New York (23-16) had scored 80-plus points in 16 straight games — the longest streak in franchise history.
Veronica Burton had a season-high 13 ***** ists to go with eight points for Golden State, which was coming off an 89-64 victory over Connecticut on Wednesday. Tiffany Hayes had 12 points off the bench.
Jonquel Jones scored 18 points for New York, which had a six-game home winning streak halted. Breanna Stewart added 16 points on 4-of-10 shooting.

The BBC has announced that four new pundits will join its rotating cast of Match of the Day experts for the new Premier League season.
Former Tottenham and Brentford manager Thomas Frank and the recently-retired Ashley Young will be part of the coverage on the channel, along with ex-Belgium centre half Toby Alderweireld and fellow former Spurs player Robbie Keane.
The quartet join an established roster of pundits that includes Wayne Rooney and Alan Shearer. The presenting trio of Gabby Logan, Mark Chapman and Kelly Cates will continue in their second season after taking over from Gary Lineker fronting the programme.
While the long-standing highlights show remains in place, Saturday lunchtime's Football Focus has been axed after 52 years on the air.
BBC One will instead show The Football Interview, with Kelly Somers speaking to Tottenham midfielder James Maddison ahead of the first Saturday of the new top-flight season.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Gabby Williams had 23 points and seven rebounds, Veronica Burton added 16 points and five ******* ists, and the Golden State Valkyries clinched a playoff berth by beating the Dallas Wings 78-70 on Monday night for their sixth straight victory.
Golden State (25-9) has already surpassed its win total from last season by two and will get another chance on the postseason stage after becoming the first expansion franchise to reach the playoffs in its inaugural season of 2025. The Valkyries lost to the top-seeded Minnesota Lynx by one point in Game 2 of their first-round matchup.
Golden State center Kiah Stokes played 23 minutes in her return from the concussion protocol after she missed last Wednesday's home win against Chicago.
Another sellout crowd at Chase Center cheered the team to its 15th win in the last 17 games overall — among those fans Warriors star Stephen Curry, son Canon, and some teammates.
The Valkyries took off in the second quarter after another slow start, ending the first half on an 11-0 run on the way to a 44-28 lead at the break. Golden State began 3 for 13 while Dallas made seven of its first 10 shots to go ahead 15-8.

Tennessee ******* ans defensive back Nazeeh Johnson will start the 2026 NFL regular season serving a six-game suspension after he violated the league's policy regarding performance-enhancing substances.
The situation, though, appears to be more than meets the eye and has drawn plenty of reaction since Johnson issued a heart-wrenching response to the decision that told a different story.
Here's what we know and how the situation has developed.
Johnson took to social media shortly after the news broke, making clear that what happened was not intentional. The defensive back says he and his wife, Gabby Irving, were trying to conceive a child, and that he did not know there was a substance in the medication he was taking that was not allowed.
"We found out that I was infertile, and I took a fertility medication that was helping me try to conceive a baby," Johnson wrote on X.

Indiana Fever guard sparked one of the defining controversies of 2026 when her comments on transgender athletes participating in women's sports were published in an ESPN profile on her on July 21.
"I got a lot of negative feedback about me hating trans. And I'm like, 'I never once said that,'" Cunningham told ESPN. "I think that I am here to extend love. But I also think with that love is truth, being honest. And I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn't have to go against biological men."
The comments led to rallies in support of Cunningham outside of Fever games, a statement from the White House, and even multiple coaches around the league to weigh in.
Now, Golden State Valkyries All-Star and French National team star Gabby Williams is addressing the topic, and she's approaching it with inclusivity.
"I think it's trans rights now is our new battle," Williams said. "That's what I think I was saying, that like the battles have changed. Oh yes. You know, like our intention has been the same, but now that the environment has changed, we see trans people's rights being stripped away from them.

One of the headlines from the start of the summer revolved around Draymond Green's decision to decline his player option with the Golden State Warriors and become a free agent. Green's move to become a free agent was based around giving the Warriors more flexibility when it came to pursuing LeBron James. With the James free agency saga coming to an end in Philadelphia, Green returned to the Warriors on one-year deal for his 15th season in the Bay Area.
With the noise around free agency quieting, Green made an appearance at Chase Center on Sunday evening in support of the Golden State Valkyries. Green was in attendance on Sunday for the Valkyries contest against the Toronto Tempo.
Green was spotted talking with Golden State Warriors principal owner Joe Lacob courtside at Chase Center during the Valkyries game on Sunday night.
With Green in attendance, the Valkyries showed off, running away from the Tempo, 96-79, improving their record to 20-9 on the season. Janelle Salaun came off the bench to lead the way for the Valkyries, scoring 24 points on 9-of-15 shooting from the field in 30 minutes. Veronica Burton tallied 17 points with three made 3-pointers while Gabby Williams added 15 points against the Tempo.
At 20-9, the Valkyries are tied with the Las Vegas Aces for the second-best record in the WNBA, trailing only the Minnesota Lynx.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Janelle Salaun came off the bench to score 24 points, Veronica Burton contributed 17 points and six ***** ists, and the Golden State Valkyries used their stingy defense down the stretch to hold off the Toronto Tempo for a 96-79 win Sunday night.
Gabby Williams and Tiffany Hayes scored 15 points apiece in the first of back-to-back matchups between the teams at Chase Center, where a raucous sellout crowd cheered Golden State ending a two-game skid that followed a nine-game winning streak.
Salaun shot 9 for 15 with four 3-pointers, putting Golden State ahead 66-59 on a 3 with 1:30 left in the third. She just missed her career-high of 26 set July 8 at Toronto.
Burton converted a three-point play with 6:55 remaining in the game then a steal with 6:14 remaining that led to Salaun's three-point play moments later that put the Valkyries ahead 80-68.
Nyara Sabally had 19 points and eight rebounds for the expansion Tempo, who began a five-game road trip by losing their sixth straight game and 10th in their last 11.

The WNBA All-Star Game is a testament to player talents and fan cultures. It's also a good measure of this league's ongoing evolution.
In its first season, the brand-new WNBA didn't even have an All-Star celebration. A decade after that, both All-Star coaches hailed from franchises soon to be relocated or disbanded. Two decades after inauguration, Maya Moore led the field with around 33,000 fan votes. Now cut to 2026, when both Paige Bueckers and Caitlin Clark exceeded the 1 million mark.
This year's All-Star Game shows how much the W has going for it right now. Bueckers, Clark, Olivia Miles, Dominique Malonga and Angel Reese lead the next generation into the spotlight. They're joined by enduring superstars like A'ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart. Gabby Williams highlights the instant success of the Golden State Valkyries, and Marina Mabrey gets love on behalf of one of this year's expansion teams, the Toronto Tempo. There are twerking mascots and blue-haired goofballs for those with eyes to see them.
Here's what to know ahead of the main event. All times listed are ET.

Former Ohio State guard Kelsey Mitchell and the Indiana Fever will look to improve an 8-4 record at home this season when they host the Golden State Valkyries at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse on July 15.
Mitchell, Ohio State basketball's all-time leading scorer, led the Fever on July 12 with 27 points in a 109-75 road victory over the reigning WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces and four-time league MVP A'ja Wilson. Mitchell also became the fifth player in WNBA history to score at least 25 points in six consecutive games, according to the ******* ociated Press. The five others were Wilson, Tina Charles, Arike Ogunbowale and Maya Moore.
Through 23 games, Mitchell is averaging the highest point total in her nine-year WNBA career with 22.7.
At 14-9, the Fever face the 17-7 Valkyries. Forward Gabby Williams leads Golden State in points per game (15) and steals per game (1.6).
The Fever's home game against the Golden State Valkyries will be on USA Network.

The Atlanta Dream set a single-season franchise wins record last season. They brought back their core, traded for Angel Reese and, despite a midsummer hiccup, still are tied for the fourth-best record in the WNBA. Reese leads the league in rebounding (11.7 rebounds per game). Rhyne Howard (18.9 points per game) and Allisha Gray (18.3 points per game) are each top-12 scorers.
Not one of those three were named an All-Star starter on Thursday. In fact, the Dream didn't account for one of the 10 selected, a development Reese called "disrespectful" on Thursday. She was especially frustrated that Howard and Gray were omitted from a pool that features the Indiana Fever's Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell, the Las Vegas Aces' A'ja Wilson, the Dallas Wings' Paige Bueckers and Jessica Shepard, the Minnesota Lynx's Natasha Howard and Olivia Miles, the Golden State Valkyries' Gabby Williams and the New York Liberty's Breanna Stewart.
"I expect to be disrespected," Reese said, per ESPN. "For those two, though, I think they work so hard and they put a lot of work in, and the way that they're guarded every game and they [have to] adjust — he reason why we're where we are is because of those two.
"For us not to have anyone was just a slap in the face, but they're not going to say anything. I am."
Reese, Howard and Gray were among the biggest snubs in a dubious voting process that's facing scrutiny after ESPN's Alexa Philippou reported Thursday night that only about 85 of the WNBA's roughly 180 players submitted ballots for starters ahead of the July 25 exhibition at Chicago's United Center.

The WNBA released its list of starters for the 2026 All-Star Game, which includes three players from the Indiana Fever and a rookie sensation.
Minnesota Lynx guard Olivia Miles’ inclusion as an All-Star makes this the fourth consecutive season that a rookie will start in the annual contest.
Aliyah Boston (Indiana Fever), Caitlin Clark (Fever) and Paige Bueckers (Dallas Wings) have all been voted as starters during every season of their WNBA careers, though Clark was unable to play in last season’s game due to injury. Boston and Clark are joined by Fever teammate Kelsey Mitchell, who earned a starting nod for the first time in her ninth season. Bueckers will also have a teammate in the starting group, as forward Jessica Shepard was named an All-Star for the first time.
One more pair of teammates made the cut, as Natasha Howard is another representative from Minnesota. Howard is now a three-time All-Star, most recently making the midseason showcase in 2022.
Gabby Williams was another first-time All-Star starter — she made her debut in the game as a reserve in 2025 — in her first season for the Golden State Valkyries, and A’ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart rounded out the field.

NEW YORK (AP) — Caitlin Clark was voted to start her third straight All-Star Game and will be joined by Indiana Fever teammates Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston, the WNBA announced Thursday.
It's the second time in four years that three players from the same team were chosen to start the game, with Las Vegas doing it in 2023. Clark wasn't able to play in last year's game that the Fever hosted because she was injured right before the All-Star break.
Clark and Mitchell will be joined this year in the backcourt by Dallas' Paige Bueckers and Minnesota rookie Olivia Miles. It's the fourth consecutive year that a rookie was chosen as an All-Star starter. Bueckers played last season.
A'ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, Jessica Shepard, Natasha Howard and Gabby Williams were selected for the frontcourt for the game that will be played in Chicago on July 25. It will be Wilson's and Stewart's eighth All-Star appearance while Shepard will be making her first.
“It's an honor to be an All-Star, even though I've had a few of them,” Stewart said. “Each one is really special and I'm not taking it lightly.”

Three Indiana Fever stars will be starters in the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game: Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell.
They’ll be joined by the Las Vegas Aces’ A’ja Wilson, the Dallas Wings’ Paige Bueckers and Jessica Shepard, the Minnesota Lynx’s Natasha Howard and Olivia Miles, the Golden State Valkyries’ Gabby Williams and the New York Liberty’s Breanna Stewart.
Boston and Clark were the most popular among fans through the second returns of voting this year. They were each No. 1 overall picks and have been unequivocally essential to the Indiana Fever’s bloom. Boston is now a four-time All-Star, and Clark is a three-time All-Star. Boston is averaging a career-high 17 points per game. The versatile center’s stretched her game, becoming a threat from beyond the arc. She’s already netted 20 triples — three more than she combined to make her first three seasons in the league — plus, she’s shooting a personal-best 85.4% from the charity stripe.
Clark, meanwhile, has played 17 of Indiana’s 19 games, mostly bouncing back after missing the majority of the 2025 campaign with a variety of soft-tissue injuries. Clark is tied for third in the W with 21.2 points per game. Over her past eight games, she’s shooting 48.8% from the field, making at least a trio of 3-pointers five times in that span.
This year's WNBA All-Star Game will be played on July 25 at Chicago’s United Center.

Indiana Fever fans are showing up and showing out to WNBA All-Star voting.
Fever center Aliyah Boston and guard Caitlin Clark are now leading the voting after the second round of returns. Boston has 683,996 votes and Clark, 670,510. Boston is averaging 16.6 points and 8.6 rebounds a game, while Clark ranks third in the league in scoring this season with 21.3 points a game.
The 2026 WNBA All-Star Game will be played in Chicago at United Center on Saturday, July 25 (ABC, 8:30 p.m. ET). WNBA players and media will join fans in selecting the All-Star starters. Fans will account for 50% of the vote and current players and media will make up 25% each.
Boston and Clark are followed in the fan voting by defending WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces (659,057), Paige Bueckers of the Dallas Wings (640,026) and Breanna Stewart of the New York Liberty (566,161). Wings forward Jessica Shepard, Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese, Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams, Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell and Minnesota Lynx guard Olivia Miles round out the top 10 vote-getters.

NEW YORK (AP) — Indiana teammates Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark are 1-2 in the fan voting for this year's All-Star game, the league announced Wednesday.
Four-time league MVP A'ja Wilson is third about 11,000 votes behind Clark. The Las Vegas Aces star led the initial fan ballots. Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers is fourth, about 18,000 votes behind Wilson. New York's Breanna Stewart was next. Wilson and Bueckers were the top two vote getters after the first set of returns.
Fan ballots end Saturday night.
Rounding out the top 10 were Jessica Shepard of Dallas, Angel Reese of Atlanta, Gabby Williams of Golden State, Kelsey Mitchell of Indiana and Minnesota rookie Olivia Miles.
After all votes are tallied, players will be ranked by position (guard and frontcourt) within each of the three voting groups — fan votes, player votes and media votes. Fan vote counts 50% while media and player votes are 25% each.

Eight-year WNBA veteran Gabby Williams has signed a multiyear contract with Unrivaled, the 3-on-3 women’s basketball league announced on Thursday.
Williams, 29, did not play with Unrivaled for the league’s first two seasons while she played with Fenerbahçe SK in FIBA EuroLeague Women in 2025 and 2026. During the past two seasons with Fenerbahçe, Williams earned first-team and second-team All-EuroLeague honors and was twice named Defensive Player of the Year.
This season is Williams’ first with the Golden State Valkyries after she played the past four years with the Seattle Storm. She is currently averaging a career-high 16.3 points and shooting 38% on 82 3-point attempts.
Last season, the 5-foot-11 forward registered 99 steals, tying for the second-most for a season in WNBA history (and finishing one behind the record set in 1998 by Teresa Witherspoon). She finished second in Defensive Player of the Year voting behind co-winners Alanna Smith and A’ja Wilson.
Williams was originally the 2018 first-round pick of the Chicago Sky (No. 4 overall) out of UConn. She played three years for the Sky before missing the 2021 season while playing for the French Olympic team. Chicago suspended her for being unavailable and traded her to the Los Angeles Sparks. However, due to her suspension, she never played there and was traded before the 2022 season to the Storm.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Veronica Burton scored 19 of her 25 points in the first half as Golden State quickly built a big lead and also dished out eight ****** ists, Gabby Williams added 25 points, and the Valkyries held off the Phoenix Mercury for an 87-81 win Tuesday night.
Burton made 5 of her 7 shots in the initial two quarters and finished 7 for 15 from the floor. Janelle Salaun contributed 11 points and five rebounds off the bench for the Valkyries, who shot 57.1% on the way to a 49-32 lead at intermission and 44.3% for the game.
Williams' 3-pointer with 5:58 to play put the Valkyries ahead 74-67, then she found Kaila Charles for a key layup with 2:26 left. Kayla Thornton's 3 the next time down helped seal it before Williams converted a three-point play moments later.
Golden State guard Tiffany Hayes went down with 5:13 left in the second quarter after a collision but later returned. The Valkyries had lost two in a row and led by as many as 18 but were threatened in this one after Phoenix's 29-point third quarter cut the lead to 66-61 going into the final 10 minutes.
Alyssa Thomas started and finished with 22 points, nine ****** ists and eight rebounds for the Mercury after dealing with a left calf injury and missing Friday's game at Portland. She was whistled for a technical foul 1:47 before halftime, then Kahleah Copper got a technical with 56 seconds remaining.

Exactly, this top 3 is extremely underwhelming. Slater Nalley is one ******* of an artist & performer, Gabby had the best vocals, and Breanna might be one of the worst I’ve seen in the top 3 on Idol. If Jamal doesn’t win, idk if I can watch another season. He’s SO much more talented
