The USWNT completed group play at the Women’s World Cup with a 0–0 draw with Portugal by the skin of their teeth, advancing to the knockout stage to continue their run towards an unprecedented third straight World Cup title.
With that said, the USWNT has not looked sharp through three matches. The 3–0 win over Vietnam should have been much more convincing given the talent deficiencies between the two sides, and the last two draws against the Netherlands and Portugal only further emphasized the notion that the U.S. has not played its best soccer.

Whoever is in charge of writing the copy for push notifications at the Minneapolis Star Tribune is not a fan of Lee Hodges. That, or they had money on J.T. Poston at the 3M Open, because the notification that was sent out to subscribers on Sunday was straight-up ruthless.
Based on screenshots shared by The Shotgun Start, the first push notification that was sent out was fine as it read ‘Lee Hodges completes wire-to-wire victory after 3M Open, winning by seven shots.

Fantasy football season is just around the corner, and that means it’s time to start getting excited about this year’s breakouts!
Below are five players I have my eyes on, all of which are still values at their average draft position (ADP) according to how high I value their ceiling. These are not sleepers or deep sleepers (that article is coming soon), but players that are primed for their best seasons yet.

Standard scoring fantasy leagues seem to be a dying breed.
With an emphasis on the passing game playing out in the NFL, fantasy football leagues soon followed suit. That led to the development of different scoring formats that placed a premium on receptions, such as “Point Per Reception” leagues, or PPR. Now, the majority of leagues favor either PPR or half-PPR formats.
But if you are still in a standard league and looking for advice, we have you covered.

The NFL is right around the corner, which means that fantasy football is going to be starting up soon as well. People will begin to make goofy fantasy football team names, create big boards for their drafts and look to either win their leagues outright or not be bad enough so you have to spend 24 hours in a Waffle House or do a stand-up comedy routine with jokes created by the members of the league.

Let SB Nation help you prepare for your fantasy drafts this season!
The do-everything running back might be falling out of favor in the NFL, but they are still king in the world of PPR fantasy. Teams are leaning more and more towards running backs needing to be skilled catchers out of the backfield, even if their overall usage is waning in the modern, big-play NFL.
This year there are a handful of players worthy of top picks in PPR, and all of them carry significant risks. In short: This year is a minefield when it comes to drafting.

Le’Veon Bell decided to be a Jet just four years too early.
After a hold out and missing the 2018 season, the former Pittsburgh Steelers running back signed with Gang Green in 2019 to a four-year deal, but his tenure there was severely underwhelming.
When Bell suited up for New York, the Jets went 6-11, and he was released in the middle of his second year with the team.
