Now that a place at the tournament is confirmed, and the groups will be drawn soon, it’s time to look at what the best-case and worst-case scenarios are for the USA. Gregg Berhalter stated that the first goal for the U.S. is to get out of the group, and if the squad looks beyond that, it risks an early letdown. The group draw can make a massive difference in how teams perform at the tournament, with matchups key and the draw an inexact science....

The school installed the exhibit in 2012, sitting relatively undisturbed for 7 years. Student activists began calling for its removal last year after Wayne’s controversial 1971 Playboy magazine interview resurfaced, which also sparked demands that a Southern California airport named after the actor be renamed. “Conversations about systemic racism in our cultural institutions along with the recent global, civil uprising by the Black Lives Matter movement require that we consider the role our School can play as a change maker in promoting antiracist cultural values and experiences,” Evan Hughes, the school’s assistant dean of diversity and inclusion, said in a statement....

The rising junior left tackle had bone marrow extracted from his lower back a month earlier to save his younger sister’s life. Jackson’s sister Autumn suffers from Diamond-Blackfan Anemia (DBA), an extremely rare genetic disorder that affects just 3,000 people worldwide.

It might be next season, or later down the line on a sleepy NFL Sunday in Jacksonville, Tennessee, Oakland, wherever. Then, like now, that comes down to the fourth quarter. Kessler led the field-goal drive. Hogan couldn’t finish a last-minute rally. No. 14 USC escaped No. 13 Stanford with a 13-10 victory. The pros can’t wait. Both guys have the size, measurables, make the throws, etc. Yet the question, “Is he a winner?...

The theory behind the low-FODMAP diet does not take on the question of what causes IBS, rather it looks at the role that FODMAP-containing foods play in triggering digestive symptoms in people who suffer from visceral hypersensitivity and motility dysfunction. The FODMAP theory has been applied to both IBS and the inflammatory bowel diseases. Why Do FODMAPs Cause Symptoms? The acronym FODMAPs refers to Fermentable Oligo-, Di- and Mono-saccharides, and Polyols....

The French did dominate play, and tested the U.S. defense right down to the final second — which required a highlight real-worthy double save from Zack Steffen — but the USMNT held on for a 1-1 draw that completed an admirable group effort against one of the best teams in the world. U.S. caretaker coach Dave Sarachan may have been coaching his final match in charge, but he did well to set up his team in a system that gave them a chance against France’s vaunted attack....

In March, 28 players from the USWNT filed a gender discrimination lawsuit against the U.S. Soccer Federation. In the lawsuit, the players stated they should be paid as much as their male colleagues, particularly given they have been more successful than USMNT. On Monday later, in an open letter to federation members, U.S. Soccer president Carlos Cordeiro stated that an analysis of the federation finances showed the women had been paid millions of dollars more than their male colleagues....

Gold medalist four times in the first five Olympics that featured women’s soccer since it was introduced for the first time at the 1996 Games in Atlanta, the USWNT was knocked out on penalties by eventual runner-up Sweden five years ago.

Facing the European side for the first time, the Americans will play Nov. 10 at Avaya Stadium in San Jose, California, before traveling to the Los Angeles area for its 2016 finale Nov. 13 at StubHub Center in Carson. The U.S. has gone 18-0-3 this year, though one of the draws was the Olympic quarterfinal that the Americans dropped to Sweden on penalties.

In its first bronze medal match (Thursday, 4 a.m. ET), the USA will be facing an Australian women’s team that is playing for a medal for the first time in its history and riding real momentum, outshooting Sweden 13-9 in a 1-0 semifinal loss. The two teams have already faced off in the final match of the group stage — a 0-0 draw during which neither team forced the issue in the second half given it was a convenient result for both to advance....

Bryan was part of the lineup Courier selected Tuesday for the matches in Croatia from Sept. 14-16. John Isner, playing in the U.S. Open quarterfinals, won’t travel with the Americans because his wife is due to give birth to the couple’s first child this month. “There’s no question that John would have been valuable for us if he was available, but to miss the birth of your first child would not be a good lifetime decision,” Courier said....

The United States is actually unfamiliar to gold in the Olympic games: In five inclusions in the Olympics since baseball was first held as a sport in 1992, the US has just one gold medal resting on the mantle.

With Olympic baseball taking a backseat in the last two Olympiads, hardball is back with six entrants and fun tournament starting on July 27....
