Finally, the gold medal game. There aren’t many bigger than this in women’s soccer. It’s the biggest game the USWNT has played since the 2019 Women’s World Cup Final. It’s the first time the USWNT has played for a gold medal since 2012 in London. But they aren’t the only team playing in this gold medal game. Brazil has never won a major international tournament and hopes to send their greatest star, Marta, off in style.

USWNT vs. Brazil preview: USA pushing for 5th gold

Following a victory over Germany, the United States Women’s National Team has reached the final of the Women’s Football Tournament at the 2024 Olympic Games. Emma Hayes has the opportunity to etch her name into the history books with a major title, despite being a mere few months into her tenure. However, the foe is strong, as Brazil continues to grow as a program with impressive performances in the knockout phase. The match will be held in the capital city of Paris at the Parc de Princes, a 47,929 all-seater stadium located in the 16th arrondissement with a Desso GrassMaster® natural reinforced grass surface.

PARIS -- The men’s soccer tournament came to a dramatic end at the Paris Olympics. Just not the end the host nation wanted. Jean-Philippe Mateta, who had helped fuel France's comeback after falling in a 3-1 hole in the first half against Spain, limped off the field in exhaustion at the final whistle. His teammates were just as weary, lying on the field while Spain’s players wildly celebrated their 5-3 victory after extra time.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Gov. Ron DeSantis has issued a state of emergency in Northeast Florida and across much of the state as a tropical system appears almost certain to develop. The National Hurricane Center said Friday morning that a tropical wave has a 90% chance of developing into at least a tropical depression over the next seven days. Most models show it moving into the Gulf of Mexico and then coming ashore and crossing the state, possibly moving over Northeast Florida.
