USA had the better start as Jozy Altidore gave them a 13th minute lead. Three minutes later, a Benedikt Höwedes back pass could not be stopped by Marc-Andre ter Stegen and allowed the ball to enter as an own goal. The USA were more present, while the weakened German side needed time to settle down and began to play as a unit only towards the end of the first session....

Christian Pulisic’s career-defining goal saw the United States through, but it came at a huge cost, as the 23-year-old star was injured on the play and substituted off at halftime. Still, the U.S. steered the ship to safety, and will now take on the Netherlands in the Round of 16, with Pulisic’s status to be determined. Gregg Berhalter knew coming in that this game would be a slugfest, and it was exactly that....
But Friday’s gold medal match in the freestyle 125 kilogram weight class (285 pounds) pushed Steveson to his limits: He faced an 8-5 deficit in the final moments of his match against defending world champion Geno Petriashvili of Georgia, necessitating two two-point takedowns in just 13 seconds — nearly impossible at that level of competition. Nearly. Steveson managed to pull off what is perhaps the comeback of these Olympic Games when he scored two stunning takedowns against the defending Rio bronze medalist: one with 11 seconds remaining on the clock and the next with just 0....

Both the USA and Mexico are led by a new generation of talents that have emerged in recent years. The likes of Christian Pulisic (USA) and Hirving “Chucky” Lozano (Mexico) won’t need to be reminded of the long history between these two soccer powers who are in a constant tussle for the right to be called the region’s best team. Mexico have come away with more victories in their head-to-head battles in championship finals (6 of 7), but this latest showdown should be another evenly matched affair....

The Role of Position in Snoring and Sleep Apnea Inevitably, breathing becomes more disturbed when we sleep on our backs. This position allows gravity to shift the tongue and tissues of the soft palate into our airway. This will obstruct the airflow from our nose or mouth to our lungs. Snoring results when turbulent airflow causes vibration of the soft tissues, typically within the throat. Just like water flowing over a shallow and rocky streambed, more noise results with this turbulent flow....

The U.S. Open, golf’s penultimate major on the reshuffled PGA Tour schedule, is under way in September and without fans, two traits that will make for a surreal weekend sandwiched between the Tour Championship, which dubbed Dustin Johnson the FedEx Cup champion, and the Masters, the crown jewel of all majors scheduled for November. Johnson, who won the U.S. Open in 2016, is the clear favorite to win at the famed Winged Foot Golf Club....

The Jamaican track star bowed out of athletics this month following the World Championships at London Stadium, where he relinquished his 100m title to Justin Gailin. Bolt, however, remains the fastest man ever to have run the distance, holding world records at 100m and 200m that no rival has so far looked close to beating. And the confirmed United fan proved he was enjoying life away from the track on Saturday as he took in the Old Trafford atmosphere prior to kick-off against Leicester City....
