Yazmeen Ryan scored against her former team and Kat Asman made four crucial saves in the Denver Summit's 3-0 win on Sunday over visiting Gotham FC in the National Women's Soccer League.
In the day's other matches, the North Carolina Courage stunned the Chicago Stars 6-0; the Washington Spirit came from behind to beat the Portland Thorns 2-1; the Orlando Pride overtook the Houston Dash 3-1; and the Seattle Reign beat the San Diego Wave 1-0.
Gotham (13-4-6) has sat atop the National Women's Soccer League standings for six weeks, with its last loss coming July 4 against the Wave. The expansion Summit had already beaten Gotham once this season, recording the first win in franchise history 2-0.
Denver (8-8-6) opened the scoring in the 50th minute when Yuzuki Yamamoto connected on the volley from Ayo Oke.
Rookie Olivia Thomas extended Denver's lead in the 82nd minute, driving into the box before ripping a shot past goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Trinity Byars had two goals and two ****** ists, and the San Diego Wave downed the visiting Utah Royals 4-2 in the National Women's Soccer League on Friday night.
The Wave (11-7-3) had won just one of their last six matches. The victory pulled them into a tie on points with the Royals for third in the league standings, behind Gotham FC and the Washington Spirit.
Byars scored her first in the fourth minute, taking a long pass from Melanie Barcenas and striking the ball from distance into the opposite corner.
Utah's Mina Tanaka tied it in the 29th minute with a curling shot from the top of the box. Before halftime, Barcenas put the Wave back in front with a goal off an ****** ist from Byars.
Tanaka scored her second goal, and eighth of the season, just moments into the second half to tie it again for the Royals (11-7-3). But Byars added her second goal in the 62nd minute to give the Wave back the lead. Byars also has eight goals this season.

Thirty years after the U.S. women's national team won the gold medal in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, going 2-1 over China, and a month after the 2026 World Cup ended its run across the American continents, soccer has returned to the heart of the Classic City at Sanford Stadium.
A record-breaking 25,433 fans packed the metal bleacher seats under the blistering 93-degree setting sun, curving around the west end zone and north side of the stadium to watch the Georgia Bulldogs face the James Madison Dukes to open their home schedule.
Georgia has been a hotbed for soccer since Tiffeny Milbrett broke the deadlock created by China's Sun Wen in the 68th minute of the biggest match on grass and made history for America in front of approximately 76,000 people.
Three decades of all-aged girls have come through the Peach State, which has produced the fourth-most NWSL players. Three of 23 women on the 2019 World Cup roster hailed from the metro-Atlanta area, including Emily Sonnett, who currently plays with the NJ/NY Gotham FC; Morgan Gautrat née Brian; and Kelley O'Hara.
Which made Thursday night something special to witness, especially for this next generation of girls soccer players. Girls like Emerson Finch, Harper Eubanks, Mattie Raborn and Charlotte Peyton, who all play for Augusta ****** nal.

Palantir shares surged north by more than 27% on Tuesday after the company reported quarterly earnings that CEO Alex Karp called "otherworldly" in a call with ******* ysts Monday evening.
While some ******* ysts were quick to frame the nearly 30% pop as recovery from a sell-off through June and July that saw Palantir wrapped into the doubts around the staying power of the software sector, the run-up extends a rally going back to 2024 that has seen the stock price boom from roughly $25 to more than $150 per share in only two years.
That shift in share price can really be traced back to the 2023 launch of Palantir's AIP platform, said Louie DiPalma, an industrials sector ******* yst at William Blair.
The company's existing platforms — Gotham for government operations and Foundry for the commercial sector — allowed customers to fuse massive amounts of disparate data and perform complex ******* ysis of that data. AIP, released in April 2023 shortly after OpenAI debuted ChatGPT the previous November, allowed customers on both platforms to connect large language models to their existing datasets, layering AI-powered ******* ysis and computation on top of Gotham and Foundry.

A lot has happened since September, when National Women's Soccer League commissioner Jessica Berman said she intended to stay with the league.
In November, the NWSL announced her three-year contract extension, keeping Berman in the role through the 2028 season. Before the ink on her contract was dry, the league introduced the High Impact Player rule, in part, to keep Trinity Rodman, one of its most marketable players, stateside. It welcomed two new franchises, Boston Legacy and Denver Summit, to play in March, postponed potential calendar-flip discussions until 2030, launched a new footwear exposure policy and most recently terminated its short-lived streaming agreement with Victory+.
Through the first 15 weeks of the season, NWSL matches averaged 11,174 fans, the second-highest attendance average in league history — behind the 2024 season, which finished with an average of 11,249 spectators.
Expansion clubs in particular have helped fuel those numbers. Denver opened its inaugural season before more than 63,000 spectators, while Boston attracted approximately 30,000 for its debut. Gotham FC hosted more than 42,000 fans for its match at Citi Field, a one-off game against the Washington Spirit at the home of the New York Mets.
Berman, however, is more interested in median attendance as a sign that a "rising tide is lifting all boats."

This week brought us four (4!) 5+ goal games! Check out the top three goals and saves in terms of the difference between their post-shot expected goals (PSxG) and expected goals (xG).
Basically, these are the goals where the player taking the shot added the most value just on shot quality and the saves where the keeper was best able to navigate this unexpected extra shot quality.
Former Chelsea teammates combine for the first time in black and sky blue as Kerr's goal sends Gotham FC to the top of the table.
Del Fava is left wide open on a set piece and she makes sure Portland is punished for it as she puts her team up 5-1.
Ijeh has a tiny deflection that ensures some brilliant team play ends with the ball in the back of the net.

Zohran Mamdani stormed into office brandishing the banner of "affordability," and almost singlehandedly pushed the issue to the center of today's political debate. Of all the charismatic, 34-year-old Mayor's initiatives aimed at lowering living costs, the one that's garnered the most coverage is his proposal to get Gotham into the grocery business.
The city-owned food store initiative looks so radical, even for this avowed democratic socialist, because it puts a city in direct competition versus an immense, entrenched private industry. On his other big "affordability" initiatives, providing free bus service and freezing rent on one million apartments, Mamdani's simply using his regulatory and budget powers in the Democratic mayors' traditional vein of tightening price controls on housing and delivering more freebees
This one's different: It's extraordinarily rare for a municipality to challenge local businesses by starting its own enterprises that aim to do the same thing. The only major example: city-backed companies that battle the Verizons and Comcasts to supply broadband. They're all either struggling, or already flopped. Mamdani's predecessor Eric Adams shuttered the $2 billion fiber-optic buildout started a few years earlier under Mayor Bill de Blasio. As for supermarkets, Chicago last year killed plans for a city-owned emporium as impractical. Kansas City, apparently the only major metro ever to open a taxpayer-funded supermarket, ended the failed foray in early 2025.
Hence, Mamdani's plan would probably reign as the biggest push any city's ever made to launch its own business amid a galaxy of private players. The Mayor's identified a big problem. New Yorkers indeed suffer from extremely high prices for everything from chicken to eggs to milk. The city's riddled with "food desert" neighborhoods where residents often can't find much other than processed items nearby, and must travel 20 minutes or more to reach outlets that offer wide choices of fresh foods at low cost.
But that drastic shortage in the metro that ranks among the world's wealthiest is almost totally self-inflicted. Contrary to Mamdani's claim that "the private market alone has not delivered affordable, full-service grocery options," here's the real rub: A web of antiquated regulations—and one in particular that effectively bans big stores where they're needed most—is blocking major chains from deploying billions of their own capital to open far more of the kinds of giant extravaganzas featuring baseball-field length stretches of checkout lanes that bring far lower stickers to the suburbs just beyond Gotham's borders.

Gotham FC and U.S. women's national team defender Emily Sonnett will miss the rest of the NWSL season after undergoing surgery to repair the ruptured patellar tendon in her left knee.
The 32-year-old Sonnett suffered the non-contact injury in the seventh minute of last Friday's 2-2 draw with the Portland Thorns. After being tended to by medical personnel, she was stretched off the Providence Park field.
"Emily has the full support of everyone at the club, and we will be with her every step of the way throughout her recovery," said team president of soccer operations Yael Averbuch West. "She is incredibly resilient, and we know she will return stronger."
Since signing with Gotham FC in 2024, Sonnett has made 64 appearances for the club, helping them to the NWSL Championship and Concacaf W Champions Cup last season and the 2026 NWSL Challenge Cup. No other player in league history has won league **** les with three different teams.
The three-time All-NWSL defender has also represented the USWNT 118 times since debuting in 2015. She has played in two Women's World Cups and two Olympics.

Another domino has fallen for Victory+: On Thursday, the NWSL became the latest to cut ties with the streaming platform. In a statement, the NWSL announced that it had "terminated" its agreement with Victory+ "effective immediately."
The move comes as Victory+ has experienced reported financial difficulties, leading multiple teams to pull out of their deals. The NWSL severed the partnership after less than a year following a missed rights payment, per multiple reports.
Per the statement, games on Victory+ will instead be shown on the league's free direct-to-consumer platform NWSL+ starting this weekend. Sunday's match between the Utah Royals and the Portland Thorns will be the first to reflect this change.
In addition to the NWSL, five individual clubs (Bay FC, Washington Spirit, Orlando Pride, Gotham FC and Angel City FC) have regional deals with Victory+; the Pride and Bay both announced on Thursday that those agreements have been terminated, with Awful Announcing reporting that Gotham will make a similar announcement on Friday.
The NWSL becomes the latest to pull out of Victory+ amid the platform's ongoing financial troubles. On July 15, the Texas Rangers announced that the franchise would be switching from Victory+ to BZZR for all local broadcasts.

ESPN | Jorge Castillo: The two New York teams are expected to have wildly different trade deadlines, with the Yankees presumed to be buyers and the Mets perhaps the biggest sellers. While there's a couple possible deals to be had between the two clubs — ****** o, Luke Weaver? — the largest possible splashes for the Yankees look like they could come from the West Coast. The San Diego Padres offer two relievers that could reinforce the bullpen, and the Angels feature both Zack Neto and Reid Detmers as alluring trade targets.
FanGraphs | Jay Jaffe: With Cody Bellinger out 4-6 weeks with a hamstring strain, the Yankee lineup and outfield are starting to look pretty bald. The team is already suffering significantly without Aaron Judge in the lineup, and while they still have a chance to win the AL East, they need someone to step up and start hitting, or they have an increased need to bring in an impact bat before the Trade Deadline.
Front Office Sports | Eric Fisher: As a longtime lover of MLB.tv, I get to benefit from what might be sports' best livestreaming experience. From what I've heard from New York locals, the Gotham Sports App has not been a very good livestreaming experience. The platform has repeatedly had playback, UI, and general quality issues over the past two seasons, and it seems it is being sunsetted by the YES and MSG networks. Streaming service DAZN is being tapped as the replacement for Gotham Sports, and I'll keep using MLB.tv.
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: The Yankees announced who will be coming back to the Bronx on August 8th for the 78th edition of Old-Timers' Day. Hall of Famers Joe Torre and Mariano Rivera lead the way, and they'll be joined by Monument Park honorees Ron Guidry, Willie Randolph, Bernie Williams, Tino Martinez, Paul O'Neill, Jorge Posada, and Andy Pettitte. The first-time Old-Timers are Dellin Betances (born in 1988, gulp), Todd Frazier, David Weathers, and Adam Ottavino (who just pitched last year). Check out the full list!
TSN: If you know me, you know I'm a born hater. I want Shohei Ohtani to grow old and die warm in a bed surrounded by loved ones and I hope he has a rock in his shoe every single time he steps on a baseball field. Yesterday was a win for the haters, as Alek Manoah was released by the Angels. One imagines Gerrit Cole opened a particularly special bottle of wine last night's game with the White Sox.

In a major development, London-based streaming platform DAZN will have a major hand in distributing local NBA broadcasts to fans next season.
According to a report by Austin Karp in Sports Business Journal, "DAZN is close to acquiring full exclusive local broadcast rights next season" for five NBA teams formerly under contract with Main Street Sports Group, owner of the now-defunct FanDuel Sports Networks. Those teams are the Minnesota Timberwolves, Cleveland Cavaliers, Indiana Pacers, San Antonio Spurs, and Memphis Grizzlies. Additionally, DAZN is close to securing streaming-only arrangements with the Orlando Magic and "possibly" the Charlotte Hornets.
DAZN will also overtake what is now known as the Gotham Sports app, a joint streaming venture between YES Network and MSG Networks that sells access to local broadcasts for seven New York-area franchises — the Yankees, Knicks, Nets, Rangers, Islanders, Devils, and Sabres.
The news is a culmination of DAZN's nearly year-long effort to break into the local sports broadcast market in the United States. After initially considering a lifesaving merger or acquisition of Main Street, DAZN instead chose to allow the company to collapse and attempt to court local rights for franchises independently. The streamer initially struck out on every MLB team following Main Street's collapse, but is now set to own streaming rights for at least nine NBA clubs, with the possibility of adding the Washington Wizards as a tenth under a non-exclusive streaming deal, per Sports Business Journal.
With the NBA looking to launch a centralized local streaming hub ahead of the 2027-28 season, DAZN will reportedly sign deals that are either one season in length or have mutual opt-out clauses following the upcoming season as teams demand the flexibility to join the league's aggregated local rights solution when it launches. If DAZN or a team invokes an opt-out clause, it will reportedly pay a termination fee unless, in the team's case, DAZN fails to meet certain performance metrics.

According to a report by Austin Karp in Sports Business Journal, "DAZN is close to acquiring full exclusive local broadcast rights next season" for five NBA teams formerly under contract with Main Street Sports Group, owner of the now-defunct FanDuel Sports Networks. Those teams are the Minnesota Timberwolves, Cleveland Cavaliers, Indiana Pacers, San Antonio Spurs, and Memphis Grizzlies. Additionally, DAZN is close to securing streaming-only arrangements with the Orlando Magic and "possibly" the Charlotte Hornets.

NWSL Week 13 saw an old storyline play out again, and the two sides involved end up top of table. Both expansion sides earned well-won victories, and Seattle will be wondering how they let a match get away from them. Racing Louisville were eyeing their first victory in a spell, only to see it vanish late.
The league's goal-scorers are doing what they are supposed to do, and new stars are emerging. Rose Lavelle brings the drama twice for Gotham, while Bay FC's Karlie Lema is making people take notice. Utah's terrific turnaround continues, and Portland stumbles again. In disheartening news, one of the league's young stars went down with a season-ending injury.
NWSL Week 13 featured joy, triumph, heartbreak and disappointment.
Gotham and Rose Lavelle have had Washington's number lately, and that number is 1-0. In last season's championship, the Gotham star scored late to give her side the ****** le. In the two team's latest meeting, Lavelle struck again for the only goal of the match.
This match was a highlight for the league this season. Gotham will be moving from New Jersey to the new Etihad Park in New York City in 2028, and this match showcased the new digs. To showcase what women's football can be in NYC, Gotham hosted the Spirit in front of more than 42,000 fans, the second largest regular-season crowd in NWSL history. While conditions were less than ideal, the teams put on a show for the fans in attendance.

Seven years after she left the National Women's Soccer League as its most prolific scorer, Sam Kerr marked her return to the league with her first goal since rejoining Gotham FC, an equalizer against Portland Thorns.
The Australia striker was her own toughest critic, admitting she did not think much of her overall performance at Providence Park. But her goal in the 62nd minute saw Gotham tie 2-2, adding to goals from Midge Purce, Renee Lyles and Jessie Fleming. Jayden Perry was later sent off for the Thorns.
"I'm obviously happy to score, help the team, but I expect more from myself," Kerr said post-match. "So I wasn't too happy with how I played. Quite disappointing, to be honest.
"I thought we were quite poor today. But we're probably lucky to get away with the tie in the end. I guess I am happy… that we didn't lose."
Kerr's return has been one of the most significant acquisitions in Gotham's history. The 32-year-old signed with the reigning NWSL champions through the 2030 season after leaving Chelsea this summer, returning to the club where she starred when it was still known as Sky Blue FC.

Liverpool club record signing Denise O'Sullivan has left the club only six months after joining.
The 32-year-old has signed for New York-based side Gotham FC, who play in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL), on an initial one-year loan with an obligation to buy.
The Republic of Ireland midfielder joined Liverpool in January for £300,000 and has been a standout performer since her arrival.
Her departure is a huge disappointment to the Reds, who are looking to rebuild following a disappointing campaign in 2025-26.
"I'm incredibly excited to join Gotham FC and return to the NWSL," said O'Sullivan.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Gotham FC announced today a limited $15 ticket offer for the upcoming Queens Classic match at Citi Field on July 15th. Up to 4,000 tickets will be available at this price, distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Tickets are available at GothamFC.com/Mayor.
The Queens Classic, for which 38,000+ tickets have already been distributed, will be the club’s first game in the borough. It will be a rematch of the 2025 NWSL Championship game as Gotham FC take on local rivals Washington Spirit.
“The biggest events in our city should be affordable to the people who make this city run,” said Mayor Mamdani. “Whether it’s the World Cup, a championship celebration or The Queens Classic, our goal is the same: Make sure working New Yorkers have a chance to be there. This ticket offer will help thousands more fans cheer on one of the best clubs in the world as Gotham FC makes history.”
This news comes one day after Gotham FC announced that the club would be playing all home matches at nearby Etihad Park in Queens starting in the 2028 NWSL season. The club announced today that over 1,000 season-ticket deposits have been placed for the 2028 season in the 24 hours since the move was first announced.
“Gotham FC is proud to partner with Mayor Mamdani’s office on an initiative that opens the doors to one of the biggest nights in our club’s history,” said Mark Zarthar, the president of Gotham FC. “The Queens Classic is about more than one match. It is about bringing New Yorkers together, growing the women’s game and creating a moment that reflects the energy, ambition and diversity of this city.”

On Monday morning, legendary striker Sam Kerr’s return to Gotham FC became official. By the afternoon, fans could already order her new jersey, Gotham’s third kit inspired by the Statue of Liberty, with free name printing for 48 hours through Foudys, a new brick-and-mortar store dedicated exclusively to women’s soccer in Manchester, England.
Just a few years ago, this kind of rapid merchandise rollout would have been almost unheard of in women’s soccer.
Helen Hardy experienced that firsthand. As she prepared to travel to France for the 2019 Women’s World Cup to support England, she struggled to find a Lionesses jersey to wear, a frustration that would ultimately inspire the creation of Foudys.
“Everyone around me was wearing men’s football shirts,” Hardy told The Athletic over a video call from her home in Manchester. “You had fans who had traveled from the U.S., the U.K. and Norway to be in France for this huge moment, and ******* ody was wearing women’s jerseys.”
The issue was not demand, but access. Women’s jerseys were difficult to find, often buried deep inside major sports retail websites even as England reached the semifinals and drew a massive television audience.

Australian striker Sam Kerr is joining Gotham FC in the National Women's Soccer league after spending the past six-plus seasons with Chelsea.
Gotham announced signing Kerr on Monday to a deal that will keep her with the team through 2030. The move marks a return to the NWSL for Kerr, who previously played for Sky Blue — which later became Gotham — from 2015-17.
She also played for the Chicago Red Stars before moving to Chelsea in November 2019. Kerr remains the NWSL's top regular-season scorer with 77 career goals and led the league in scoring for three straight seasons from 2017-19. She won league MVP awards in 2017 and 2019.
Kerr, 32, also is the all-time leading scorer for the Australia, among men or women, with 75 international goals, surpassing men's leader Tim Cahill with 51. She led the Matildas to the semifinals of the 2023 Women's World Cup, hosted by Australia and New Zealand.
“I’m incredibly excited to return to Gotham FC and to this city,” Kerr said in a statement released by the team. “This club was an important part of my journey, and to come back at this moment, with everything Gotham has built, is really special. The ambition here is clear, and I’m looking forward to helping this team compete for trophies and create more history.”

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR) is one of the best fast growth stocks to buy according to hedge funds. On June 22, Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR) announced that the US Army has established the common data layer baseline for its Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) program, and selected its Foundry platform as the cloud data layer underpinning the entire architecture.
NGC2 is the Army's highest-priority modernization initiative. Put simply, it is the Army's effort to replace fragmented legacy command systems with a unified, data-driven infrastructure. This infrastructure will be able to serve commanders and soldiers at every level of the force, and will give them better information and faster.
Within the architecture, Palantir's Foundry will handle the cloud data layer, while Anduril's Lattice will be the tactical data layer, that is, the field-facing component that operates closer to where soldiers are deployed. The two platforms form the data backbone on which all future NGC2 applications and AI-enabled mission capabilities will run.
Commenting on the development, Akash Jain, Palantir USG's President and CTO, said that the underlying architecture is the "most consequential decisions in a program like NGC2." He added that the Army establishing a common data baseline for NGC2 from the outset enables it to create "the foundation on which future applications and AI-enabled mission capabilities can be built." Jain stated: "As the cloud data layer, Foundry helps make that foundation durable and extensible.."

The National Women's Soccer League will implement a series of rule changes beginning with this weekend's Challenge Cup between NWSL champions Gotham FC and Shield winners Kansas City Current. Some of the measures, focusing on player safety and fan behavior, were adopted at the 2026 FIFA men's World Cup.
One of the changes — developed in consultation with the NWSL Players ***** ociation, clubs, medical and competition staff and the Professional Referee Organization (PRO) — will see a new off-field treatment rule and a timed substitution rule. Additionally, the NWSL will update its game day heat safety policy and expand its fan code of conduct to cover digital and social media ***** es.
Under the new off-field treatment rule — the most significant on-field change, mirroring a rule introduced at this summer's World Cup — players who remain on the ground and require medical personnel to enter the field after play is stopped will be required to leave the field for a one-minute treatment period. This rule was previously used in Major League Soccer. The clock begins once play restarts, with the fourth official monitoring the countdown before the player is permitted to return.
The league said the measure is designed to reduce unnecessary stoppages and improve match flow.
The NWSL will also implement a timed substitution rule aimed at discouraging time-wasting. Players being substituted will now have 10 seconds to leave the field. Failure to do so will result in the incoming substitute being delayed from entering until the next stoppage after a one-minute waiting period. This would force the offending team to temporarily play down a player. Exceptions include an injury that occurred as a result of a yellow or red card offense, a head injury or injury to a goalkeeper or bleeding.

Stephen A. Smith turned Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden appearance into another target after the New York Knicks lost Game 3 of the NBA Finals.
The ESPN star had already said he would blame Trump if the Knicks lost, and the San Antonio Spurs made that line impossible to ignore with an 115-111 win. What followed was no longer just about the scoreboard.
Smith’s frustration shifted toward Trump’s connection to New York, the Knicks’ long ******* le drought, and viral clips that made it look like the president was not fully locked into the moment.
Stephen A. Smith dropped a First Take response after Donald Trump attended the Knicks’ Game 3 loss to the Spurs at Madison Square Garden.
“I thought you were a New Yorker, Mr. President. I thought you cared. I thought it mattered to you, Gotham City, the New York Knicks, the erasing of a 53-year drought. I thought that mattered to you,” Smith said.

The Knicks' practice-day media session at Madison Square Garden welcomed two unexpected guests on Sunday: New York City legends Fat Joe and Jadakiss.
Fat Joe arrived with a message for a fan base that spent much of the last two decades directing its frustrations at Knicks owner James Dolan.
The Bronx-born rapper believes Dolan deserves far more credit than he's received.
"Shoutout to Mr. Dolan. Greatest team owner in the game," Fat Joe said. "Very misunderstood. They villainize Mr. Dolan almost like a Bruce Wayne, like Batman in Gotham City because he's an elite. But this man: All these watch parties. That man's taking care of us."
For years, Dolan's name became synonymous with the Knicks' dysfunction. He presided over failed eras built around stars such as Stephon Marbury, Amar'e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony, while championship expectations routinely gave way to disappointment. But with the Knicks in the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999, Dolan is experiencing something unfamiliar: public praise.

For years, Dolan's name became synonymous with the Knicks' dysfunction. He presided over failed eras built around stars such as Stephon Marbury, Amar'e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony, while championship expectations routinely gave way to disappointment. But with the Knicks in the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999, Dolan is experiencing something unfamiliar: public praise.
