Alessia Russo s stunning backheel goal helped England to a brilliant 4-0 win over Sweden at Euro 2022, ending their wait for a semi-final success.
The Lionesses weathered a strong start from Sweden that saw Stina Blackstenius rattle the crossbar and they took the lead when Beth Mead drilled home in the 34th minute.
Lucy Bronze doubled England s lead three minutes after the restart and a moment of magic from substitute Russo put England out of reach in the 68th minute.
Fran Kirby audaciously chipped Hedvig Lindahl with 14 minutes remaining, as England ended a run of three straight semi-final defeats at major tournaments and booked their place in Sunday s showpiece at Wembley.

Andy Robertson highlighted Sadio Mane s last-gasp winner against Aston Villa as more evidence of how much the Liverpool star has raised his game in 2019.
The Senegal international dazzled on Saturday, setting up one and scoring the other to inspire a remarkable late comeback at Villa Park.
Liverpool trailed for over an hour before left-back Robertson met Mane s brilliant cross towards the end of 90 minutes.
The winger then cleverly glanced in Trent Alexander-Arnold s corner in the fourth minute of added time as the Premier League leaders maintained their six-point advantage over Manchester City.
It was a smashing goal, Robertson told Liverpool s official website of Mane s decisive header.
We worked on it in training, worked on the front post the…
Thomas Muller acknowledges it will be extremely difficult for Bayern Munich to emulate a trophy-laden 2013.
After winning the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal and UEFA Champions League under Jupp Heynckes last season in an unprecedented treble for a German side, Bayern have continued to enjoy success following Pep Guardiola s appointment as coach.
Guardiola s men are top of their domestic league, lifted the UEFA Super Cup in August and added the FIFA Club World Cup title on Saturday with a 2-0 win over Raja Casablanca.
Bayern will now enjoy a period of rest due to Germany s mid-season break, and Muller believes the team can have no regrets after a superb year.
It s nearly impossible to play at the level we ve done in this calendar year, the Germany international told the cl…
It s been three decades and three years since Diego Armando Maradona led Napoli to their previous Serie A title, and the supporters of club will be thinking, it was about time it happened again.
Napoli domination
It happened. Napoli were simply brilliant for a large part of the season and they fully deserved the Scudetto. They were particularly good early on and went into the World Cup break undefeated, with 41 points from the possible 45, and 37 goals scored in 15 Serie A matches played up to that point. They reached a tally of 90 in the end, 16 more than Lazio in second place.
The success of Luciano Spalletti s team is even more remarkable when put into a bit of perspective, regarding the changes in the playing personnel they made last summer. Some of their long-serv…
One of the biggest spreads on the NFL betting board for Week 1 is a clash between the San Francisco 49ers and Detriot Lions, with the Niners installed as 8-point road favorites.
San Fran had an injury-plagued 2020 season and aims to bounce back with a return to the playoffs. The Lions might be ideal early-season fodder as they rebuild with a new quarterback and coach, and have the second-lowest win total of 2021 at an O/U of 4.5.
Here are our best free 49ers vs. Lions picks and predictions for Sunday, September 12, with kickoff at 1 p.m. ET.

It’s the scenario everyone dreamed of when the regular season was expanded to 18 weeks — a divisional matchup between Brandon Allen and Case Keenum… with absolutely nothing on the line!
Thankfully, NFL betting fans can still find some way to mine value from this throwaway game, as the Cleveland Browns are already eliminated and the Cincinnati Bengals are happy with their AFC North title and will opt to rest many key starters in preparation for the playoffs.

Happy holidays, you absolute beauties. We have three prime-time Sunday games and I’m adding to the prop card with more plays that I’m putting my own money on.
With the markets for the Denver game opening up late, there are still some inefficiencies to find while the game script in Arizona might be slightly misleading.
I break it all down in my best NFL player prop picks for Week 16. Let’s cash on Christmas!

Tonight’s Monday Night Football contest should be an intriguing match between the Green Bay Packers and Las Vegas Raiders. Both teams are looking to jumpstart their season, but the biggest storyline is Raiders WR Davante Adams facing his former team for the first time — if he’s cleared to play after dealing with a shoulder injury much of last week. The NFL odds give the slight edge to the Raiders at -2.5, but I expect this game to be close throughout.
While there are a number of different subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to watch this game… did you know that you can also live stream Packers/Raiders directly from legal sports betting sites?
Caesars, BetRivers, and Fanatics Sportsbook are three of our most trusted NFL…
The Arizona Cardinals head to the East Coast to take on the Philadelphia Eagles in NFL action today. The Eagles are in a three-way tie for the best record in the NFC and will look to nab first place and that coveted first-round bye.
Meanwhile, the Cards have the second-worst record in the league and are likely in tanking for Caleb Williams mode.
NFL odds have the Eagles installed as 12-point home favorites with the Over/Under at 48.5 for this Week 17 clash.
Here are my best free NFL picks and predictions for the Cardinals vs. Eagles on Sunday, December 31.

Another NFL season brings in plenty of new sports bettors looking to get down action on their favorite teams for the first time. Those bettors will comb the NFL odds, cruise the injury reports, and dig into the analytics before making NFL picks, but they’ll often forget to look up.
Watching the weather is vital to getting the best of the bookmakers on Sundays, and you can be damn sure the “bad guys” know the forecast.
In order to level that playing field, I dissect the potential weather for every outdoor game on the board and highlight how the wind, rain, and more could impact the NFL Week 2 odds.
