Junior golfers ‘putt’ Bahamas 5th overall WILDCATS By RENALDO DORSETT Tribune Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net

eam Bahamas produced a trio of top five finishers against elite junior golf talent in the region at the 31st edition of the Caribbean Amateur Junior Golf Championships. The team concluded the final round in fifth place in the race for the Hank James trophy, following the three-day competition hosted at the Caymanas Golf and Country Club in Caymanas Estate, Jamaica. Puerto Rico led the field from start to finish and claimed their 11th consecutive title. The best finishes for the Bahamas came from Ashley Michel and

Sophie Anand in the Girls’ Under15 and Haylie Turnquest in the Girls’ U-18. Michel closed out the competition tied for third place with Yae Eun Kim of the Dominican Republic. Michel shot a final round of 86 after she shot a second round 82. She shot an opening round 79 on day one for a score of 247 (+31). Anand finished fifth in the division with a score of 248 (+32) after shooting a low of 79 on day one, 86 on day two and 83 on day three. Turnquest secured fifth place in her division and finished with a three-day total of 249 (+33). She shot an opening round 82, followed with an 87 and shot a tournament low of 80 in round three. In the Girls’ 11-13, Tyesha Tynes shot a low of 95 on day one but

shot a second round 102 and third round 105. She finished in ninth place with a score of 302 (+86). Cameron Riley and Xavier Robinson finished 12th and 15th respectively in the U-18 Boys’ division. Riley closed out the competition with rounds of 84 on day three and a low of 77 on day two. He opened with a score of 81 in round one for a total of 242 (+26).

In the Boys’ U-13, Matthew Deveaux was the lone competitor for the Bahamas. He shot a low of 92 on day three after he shot a second round 99, following his opening round 92. He finished with a score of 298 (+82), No. 15 in the division. In 2017, Team Bahamas produced a pair of top three finishers and finished fifth at the 30th edition of the event, hosted at the St Andrews Golf Club in Maraval, Trinidad and Tobago. They also finished fifth in 2016 and 2015 after fourth place finishes in 2014 and 2013.

Deandre Ayton shines in the Summer League By RENALDO DORSETT Tribune Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net AS the Las Vegas Summer League tipped off, Deandre Ayton has showed flashes of the athleticism and basketball IQ on both ends of the floor that led to his selection as the top overall pick in June’s NBA Draft. In his summer league debut on July 6, Ayton finished with 10 points (4-6 field goals) and eight rebounds in 22 minutes in an 92-85 win over the Dallas Mavericks. He followed with 21 points (8-11 field goals) and 12 rebounds in a 71-63 win over the Sacramento Kings. Ayton and the Suns will take to the court Monday at 9:30pm against the Orlando Magic to finish pool play prior to the single-elimination tournament. This will be the first year all 30 teams will participate in the Las Vegas Summer League. Ayton’s first basket came on an alley-oop finish. New Suns head coach Igor Kokoskov used his new centre on post ups early in the game, however the Mavericks went to double teams often. While the Suns built a large lead, Ayton was used primarily in pick-and-roll situations. Defensively, he was caught on switches on the perimeter but was able to stay with second-year guard Dennis Smith Jr.

ROUT THE PANTHERS 22-0 IN NPSA By BRENT STUBBS Senior Sports Reporter bstubbs@tribunemedia.net THE defending champions Sunshine Auto Wildcats, playing their third game in three consecutive nights, saved their best performance for the last as they whitewashed the Hennessy Panthers 22-0 in the New Providence Softball Association’s double header in the Banker’s Field at the Baillou Hills Sporting Complex on Saturday. The performance came after the Wildcats got nipped 4-3 by runners-up Johnson’s Lady Truckers on Thursday night and, in a make-up on Friday, they avenged the loss by holding off the youthful Platinum Lady Sharks 9-6. Also on Saturday night, Platinum routed the BTC Warriors 12-3 in the ladies’ feature contest. In the men’s feature contest on Friday, the Commando Security Truckers knocked off the Chances Mighty Mitts 9-1 to make up for their embarrassing 25-0 blowout loss to the defending champions C&S Hitmen on Thursday. • Here’s a summary of the games:

In game two, Ayton went head-to-head with second overall pick and former high school teammate Marvin Bagley. Bagley finished with 15

points and seven rebounds. At minicamp, Ayton spoke to Scott Bordow of The Arizona Republic on his progress. “It’s cool. I’ve just got to live up to the

hype. Now I’m playing against some competition. We’re scratching each other, fighting each other.

Wildcats 22, Panthers 0 Veteran Linda Knowles proved that she can still throw the ball, tossing a one-hitter with two strike outs and walking three to get her third victory in as many starts this season for Sunshine Auto in just three innings of play as the game was stopped by the mercy rule. “I feel good. I am just trying to get back in shape so I can help these young girls and let them know I still got the ball,” Knowles said. “The ball is still in my court. I just have to stay in shape and I know when I’m needed, I can come out and deliver.” To back her up offensively, third sacker Thela Johnson, the ace of the pitching staff, was 2-for-3 with three runs batted in (RBI) and scored as many times, while catcher Ruthann Simms was 2-for-3 with two RBI with two runs scored as well. Left fielder Daria Cambridge was 2-for-3 with four runs; second sacker Mechelle Moss was 2-for-4 with two

BLTA president Darnett Weir confirmed over the weekend that after Russell declined to submit a written confirmation to serve on the team, they decided to replace her with Sierra Donaldson, who will join touring pro Kerrie Cartwright and collegians Danielle Thompson and Simone Pratt when they take on Bermuda, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras and Trinidad & Tobago in the round-robin format. The seven teams will be placed in two different pools with the winners of each pool advancing to the playoffs to determine which team will advance to the Americas Zone Group I in 2019.

THE TRIBUNE

England beats Sweden 2-0 to reach World Cup semifinals By STEVE DOUGLAS AP Sports Writer SAMARA, Russia (AP) — England achieved something David Beckham’s generation never managed: It reached the semifinals of the World Cup. Harry Maguire and Dele Alli scored with headers in a 2-0 win over Sweden on Saturday, earning England’s youthful team a match against Croatia for a place in the final on July 15. “We looked composed,” England captain Harry Kane said. “We looked like we controlled the game.” England’s fairly muted celebrations reflected the routine nature of the victory over a hard-working Swedish side that had already gone further than expected in its first major tournament without Zlatan Ibrahimovic. England’s deep run also is a surprise. Not even the England side containing stars like Beckham, Steven Gerrard and a young Wayne Rooney ever got this far at a major tournament.

The 1966 World Cup champions last reached the semifinals in 1990, losing the first of a series of haunting penalty shootouts. In 2014, the team didn’t even make it out of the group stage. Yet the performances of Gareth Southgate’s squad — the second youngest at the tournament — are being celebrated wildly back home. Even at Wimbledon, the home of lawn tennis, updates of England’s goals were spread by fans watching or listening to the match on their cell phones. “I know the fans here are enjoying it,” Kane said. “The fans at home, I’m sure we’ll see some videos tonight of them enjoying it.” The chant of “On our way, on our way, to Moscow, on our way” came from England fans in one corner of the Samara Arena throughout the match, and the team’s march to the Russian capital is being fuelled by goals from set pieces. There was another against Sweden, with Maguire heading in a driven

(AP Photo/Francisco Seco) corner from Ashley Young in the 30th minute. It was England’s eighth set-piece goal of its 11 in Russia, and the center back’s first in international soccer. The standard of England’s

crossing has particularly stood out this tournament, and Alli added the second goal by meeting a far-post cross from midfielder Jesse Lingard with a powerful header in the 59th. At

22, Alli became the second-youngest scorer for England at a World Cup behind Michael Owen. “We knew set plays would be key,” Maguire said. “And also that little

ball that Jesse sent in for Dele, that was great. We worked on that in practice.” It proved to be a match too far for the Swedes, who advanced further than they ever did with Ibrahimovic — the team’s star for more than a decade — by being compact and hard to break down. That helped them win a two-leg playoff against Italy to get to the World Cup, top a group containing Germany, and then beat Switzerland in the round of 16. They began solidly against England in a slow and sloppy start to the game that resembled a pre-season friendly at times, only to be outdone by a goal Sweden isn’t used to conceding. “Up until that corner, I felt that we had everything under control,” Sweden coach Janne Andersson said. “I felt that we had the match in our hands.” Although Sweden rallied in the final 30 minutes, forcing two good saves from goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, England comfortably held on for its first shutout of the tournament.

CROATIA ENDS RUSSIA’S RUN, ADVANCES TO THE SEMIS By TALES AZZONI AP Sports Writer SOCHI, Russia (AP) — Nyet this time. Although Russia made it further at this year’s World Cup than most anyone expected, it was Croatia that advanced to the semifinals with a 4-3 shootout victory Saturday following a 2-2 draw. The overachieving hosts, the lowest ranked team in the tournament at No. 70, were trying to make it to the World Cup semifinals for the first time since the Soviet Union finished fourth at the 1966 tournament in England. Even Russian President Vladimir Putin was taken in by the host nation’s surprising run, at least according to Russia coach Stanislav Cherchesov. “Putin called me during the day, and he called me right now,” Cherchesov said. “He congratulated us on a very good game. He said what we showed on the field was great. I told him we were disappointed. He said we

should have our eyes open and make the next steps.” The Croats hadn’t advanced to the semifinals at the World Cup since 1998, when the country made its first appearance. Croatia will next play England in the semifinals on Wednesday in Moscow. With the crowd silenced following an extra-time header from Croatia defender Domagoj Vida in the 101st minute, Russia defender Mario Fernandes scored with his own header in the 115th to send the match to yet another penalty shootout. Fernandes, who was born in Brazil but rejected a chance to play for that country’s national team in 2011, sent his penalty kick wide of the net in the shootout, giving Croatia the advantage. Both goalkeepers made early saves in the shootout, with an injured Danijel Subasic stopping the opening shot from Fyodor Smolov. Igor Akinfeev later blocked an attempt from Mateo Kovacic.

(AP Photo/Manu Fernandez) At 1-1, Fernandes missed his shot — only the second player to miss in any of the four shootouts at this year’s World Cup. The teams then traded two scores each before Ivan Rakitic calmly converted the winning penalty. “We should have finished the job before penalties but

maybe it’s written in the stars we have to go through the extra drama,” said Luka Modric, whose penalty bounced off Akinfeev’s hand and the post before entering the other side of the net. Denis Cheryshev gave Russia the lead in regulation time with a long-range

shot into the upper corner in the 31st minute. Croatia equalized with Andrej Kramaric’s header near halftime. “I left everything on the field and unfortunately we were unlucky,” Russia midfielder Roman Zobnin said. “We gave everything we could.” It was the second straight time both teams played in a penalty shootout. Russia beat Spain 4-3 and Croatia defeated Denmark 3-2 in the round of 16. Argentina in 1990 had been the last team to win consecutive World Cup

shootouts. The defending champions at the time defeated Yugoslavia in the quarterfinals and Italy in the semifinals that year, which also made Italy the last host nation to lose on penalties before Saturday. The victory overwhelmed Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic, who cried after Rakitic’s winning penalty. “It wasn’t a beautiful game, but it was a battle,” Dalic said. “We were lucky. I was concentrating throughout the match, but after that penalty it came bursting out of me.”

CHARLTON HONOURED WITH BAHAMIAN ICON AWARD FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

DAVID CHARLTON, founder and head coach of the Star Trackers Track Club,

DAVID Charlton, founder and head coach of the Star Trackers Track Club, was honoured on Saturday with the Bahamian Icon Award for Youth Development. In his acceptance speech, Charlton said just to be nominated with the talented list of competitors is an honour in itself. The Grand Bahamian native, who got his start in the sport as a 400/400 metres hurdler, credited his mentors, Anita Doherty, Errol Bodie and coach Moultrie for the impact

that they all had on his life over the years. However, Charlton said he would not have accomplished what he did without the team behind him, led by his wife Laura Charlton, who has been his inspiration. The two have worked hand-in-hand with the track club, which has helped to secure a number of athletic scholarships for its members over the years. Together, they have produced three daughters, including Olympian

Devynne Charlton, who have all excelled in the sport. Charlton also thanked the members of his coaching staff, including Ferguson, Luther Rolle and Wayne Stapleton for all of their support, along with the parents, who have all bought into the vision that they have created for the club. “This means a whole lot. I really appreciate it,” said Charlton about his award, which he dedicated to his mother.

TRACK & FIELD TEAM ALL SET FOR IAAF U-20 CHAMPIONSHIPS SPRINTER Joel Johnson has been listed as one of the competitors to watch when the International Amateur Athletic Federation’s Under-20 Track and Field Championships takes place from Tuesday to Sunday in Tampere, Finland. Johnson headed Team Bahamas that left town on Saturday. He will

be joined by Adrian Curry in both the 100 and 200m. Corey Sherrod is entered in the 400m, Oscar Smith and Denvaughn Whyms will provide a 1-2 punch in the 100m hurdles, Branson Rolle will be the lone competitor in the 400m hurdles and Jyles Etienne and Kyle Alcine will be matched in the high jump.

On the girls’ side, Jaide Knowles will contest both the 100 and 200m. In addition, she will have some company in Kayvon Stubbs in the 200m. Sasha Wells will carry the flag in the 100m hurdles, as well Charisma Taylor in the triple jump. The team is being managed by Margo Major with James Rolle as

the head coach, assisted by Rashad Patton and Ednal Rolle. Nadia Gilbert is the team doctor and the physio-therapist is Michael Armbrister. Johnson and Curry are set to kick the action off for Team Bahamas in the first round of the boys’ 100m when the championships open on Independence Day.

Weir said the BLTA was hoping that Russell would have changed her mind and still gone with the Fed Cup team, which would have been reunited for the first time since 2013 when they won the tie in El Salvador. “Even though the dynamics have changed, our expectations is for them to go over there and do their best,” she said. “We’re missing Larikah, but I’m quite sure that this group will get the job done.” Russell, who has participated in Fed Cup since 2000, has posted the best results by any Bahamian player in Fed Cup history. The Grand Bahamian native, who is actively involved in softball in New Providence and coaching tennis, has compiled a 31-17 win-loss record in total wins, 14-8 in singles just behind Cartwright’s 14-6 mark. She’s also leading the way in doubles with an 11-9 record with Nikkita Fountain.

KINGS’ MOVES INDICATE UNCERTAINTY OVER BUDDY’S ROLE GOING FORWARD By RENALDO DORSETT Tribune Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net THE Sacramento Kings front office continues to make transactions that indicate uncertainty about Buddy Hield’s role with the organisation moving forward. The Kings signed restricted free agent guard Zach LaVine to a four-year $78 million offer sheet, however, the Chicago Bulls matched the offer within the 48-hour restricted time period to keep Lavine on the Bulls roster. Had the Bulls not matched the offer sheet, the richest guaranteed non-max deal of the summer thus far, LaVine would have given the Kings a fourth shooting guard along with Hield, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Garrett Temple. The moves came off an offseason of speculation and Hield addressed the rumours last month when he hosted “Bucket Night with Buddy Hield” at Southmoore High School in Oklahoma. “People start stuff. Sometimes it starts from a fan, and then it keeps getting egged on,” Hield said to CNHI Sports Oklahoma. “If I get traded, I’ll go to that city, wherever, and I’ll be blessed to still be in the NBA. As long as I have a job, I’m fine with that. But I don’t worry about trade talks. Once I get a call, and they say I’m traded, then I’ll worry about it.” At the time, Hield was responding to reports that the Kings were considering drafting Slovakian guard Luka Doncic with the second overall pick. Hield finished last season as the Kings second leading scorer averaging 13.5 points (.446 field goal percentage, .431 three-point percentage and 88 three throw percentage), 3.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.06 steals in 25.3 minutes per game. He started just 13 of his 80 appearances in his second season. Hield was relegated to the bench after Bogdanovic took over the role as

BUDDY HIELD the team’s starting shooting guard for the remainder of the season. Hield participated in the Mountain Dew Kickstart Rising Stars Challenge, the Taco Bell Skills Challenge and he was also one of

several players who hosted various NBA Cares Clinics during the NBA All-Star weekend. He helped the World Team to a 155-124 win over Team USA at the marquee event for the league’s second and first year players. Hield’s numbers were in MVP contention with 29 points, five made threes, three rebounds and three assists. However, Bogdanovic would go on to win the award. Vlade Divac, Kings general manager, announced that the team exercised its 2018-19 option on the second year shooting guard. Hield was the No.6 pick of the 2016 Draft and projected salary for the 2018-19 season is at just over $3.8 million. Hield played

57 games with the New Orleans Pelicans before he was traded to the Sacramento Kings in February 2017. In 25 games for the Kings to conclude the 201617 season, Hield made 18

starts and averaged 15.1 points and 4.1 rebounds per game and 42 per cent shooting from three-point range. On the season he averaged 10.6 points, 3.3 rebounds on 42 per cent shooting from

the field and 39 per cent from three-point range. He finished 4th in 3-point and free throw percentage, 8th in field goal percentage and 11th in rebounding among all rookies.

You have to take care of yourself because you go hard every day.” With Ayton’s selection, the Bahamas now joins the United States, Canada, Nigeria and Australia as the only countries with multiple No.1 overall NBA draft picks.

‘The Three Lions will do their part and prevail over Croatia’ THE 2018 World Cup started out with wild upsets and with teams struggling to get past opponents rated as distinctly inferior. There was a real departure from expected form with some national powerhouses quickly ejected from the competition. Then, gradually through the Round of 16 and the Quarter Finals, form among the remaining teams began to prevail. Colombia and Spain lost in overtime shootouts, but in the other six matches, the results seemed somehow reasonable. In the Round of Eight quarterfinals over the weekend, the teams with greater depth, overall skill and scoring touch all were victorious. Four teams remain, with matches tomorrow and Wednesday determining the finalists for Sunday’s championship contest. The weekend matches reinforced the long tradition of European superiority in World Cup competitions played on European soil. In the first contest, France did not seem much threatened by a Uruguay side that had progressed through its first four matches undefeated, eliminating Portugal and Ronaldo along the way. The French played like the tournament betting favourites they have become in their 2-0 victory. This is a versatile,

star-studded squad that seems to play well together and is steadily improving. Also prevailing in the same bracket as the French was the Belgian team. They defeated Brazil, the stylish home to glamorous stars from Pele to Neymar and always a threat to unleash unexpected creativity en route to scoring another triumph. But Belgium fields a team of English Premier League all-stars, and with Eden Hazard (Chelsea) and Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City) joining Romelu Lukaku (Manchester United), Vincent Kompany (Manchester City) and Thibaut Courtois (Chelsea) and all playing well Brazil was really not able to play as close to the level of Belgium as the 2-1 final score might indicate. These results set up a match with enormous potential for tomorrow afternoon. When France and Belgium take the field, they could duplicate the memorable 4-3 French triumph over Argentina and Lionel Messi in the tournament’s Round of 16. Either side could realistically win, and the Seer is tempted to choose Belgium. But the French have too much of everything, including speed where it counts. They have N’Golo Kante, the brilliant, still

relatively unheralded midfielder who plays in front of the defense, wins every contested ball, rarely errs and has won the English Premier League’s player of the year award with different title winning teams in both 2016 and 2017. He sees Hazard at Chelsea practice every day. The French also have scoring punch up front and from their stout back line. The choice is France, in a potentially great match. On the other side of the draw over the weekend, England outlasted solid Sweden 2-0 and Croatia edged host Russia in an overtime shootout. The Three Lions squad from England has been one of the pleasant surprises of the tournament, as they have gone far to dispel the gloom of the dispiriting English performances in the World Cup over the past 20 years. With solid representation from top Premier League

clubs Tottenham and Manchester United, the English have played with consistency and, through flashy Spurs scorer Harry Kane, some real flair up front. Croatia should have won its match in regulation time against host Russia, a team that finally ran out of an amazing run of good fortune both in its draw and in facing a sagging Spain team that never really found its footing in this tournament. But the Russians deserve full credit for startlingly outplaying their predicted finish. This is a sturdy, determined team that seems to keep its composure and play within limitations that are readily apparent to spectators. The Russians have few stars, and the World Cup is about an accumulation of stars playing as a team under a single national banner. Croatia has several such stars, and its progression to the semifinals is no surprise. The match against Russia on Saturday was a real war of attrition, with players on both sides looking gassed even before the end of regulation time. The difference in individual quality between the teams was on full display during the shootout when one Russian player missed the net entirely. And poetic justice was served when a Croatian shot ricocheted off the Russian

goalie’s hands, off a post and into the net. Late in regulation time, a similar Croatian shot had somehow stayed out and prolonged the match. Kane’s Tottenham teammate Dele Alli and Leicester City’s Harry Maguire scored the goals against Sweden, with Alli’s shot a sizzling thing of beauty. The English seemed to be in control for most of this match, and viewers can witness the steady growth of their confidence. They have faced a team with greater star power than Croatia previously in losing 1-0 to Belgium. But that match lacked much urgency as both teams had already advanced to the next round. Headlines are already anticipating a return of the World Cup crown to its rightful home in England. The Three Lions will do their part on Wednesday and prevail over Croatia. Readers who bet with the Seer in the Round of 16 and quarterfinal matches might have pocketed some serious winnings. The Seer followed up a 7-1 Round of 16 record with a 4-0 sweep of the Quarterfinal board, picking all four matches correctly. Ah, the sweet smell of success. But can it last? The 2018 season record now moves to 35-18.

BELGIUM ELIMINATES BRAZIL, ADVANCES TO WORLD CUP SEMIS By ROB HARRIS AP Global Soccer Writer KAZAN, Russia (AP) — Neymar used Brazil’s famed yellow jersey to shield his anguish. The Belgians, clad in red and dancing in a celebratory circle nearby, couldn’t hide their relief. Belgium reached the World Cup semifinals for the first time in 32 years, holding off five-time champion Brazil 2-1 Friday in one of the country’s greatest soccer feats. “We’ve achieved something that is really beautiful,” said Kevin De Bruyne, who scored Belgium’s second goal, “and it’s not easy.” Belgium eliminated Brazil by successfully fusing the attacking potency of De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku with the creativity of Eden Hazard and the goalkeeping exploits of Thibaut Courtois. Plus an own-goal from Brazil. It all adds up to a semifinal match against France on Tuesday in St. Petersburg. “Just treasure it and pass it down in the generations,” Belgium coach Roberto Martinez said, still seemingly in awe of what his team achieved at the Kazan Arena. Belgium took the lead after a slice of good fortune involving a pair of Manchester City teammates who were on opposing sides. Brazil midfielder Fernandinho’s trailing right arm inadvertently helped Belgium captain Vincent Kompany’s

As Belgium lost cohesiveness in the second half and Brazil’s changes stirred the team, substitute Renato Augusto reduced the

deficit in the 76th with a header. But it was too late for Brazil to muster an equalizer as Courtois thwarted several efforts to force the game into extra time. While Belgium’s golden generation is finally flourishing, Neymar is leading Brazil home after failing to live up to the expectations that come with being soccer’s most

expensive player. Crouching on the field, he pulled his shirt over his face while Belgium exalted in victory. Humiliated 7-1 by Germany in the semifinals fours year ago on home soil with Neymar out injured, Brazil didn’t even get that far this time. Just like defending champion Germany

and Argentina before them, the Kazan Arena is where Brazil’s World Cup challenge ended. “Randomness happened and it was cruel to us,” Brazil coach Tite said. “It was hard to swallow.” Especially after Brazil conceded only one goal in the previous four games in Russia. But the defense was breached after 13 minutes in Tatarstan. Fernandinho’s owngoal ensured for the first time since March 2017 that Brazil was trailing in a competitive match. Unlike then — an eventual 4-1 victory over Uruguay — there was no comeback. Not when Courtois was proving to be an impenetrable barrier in the Belgium goal, denying Marcelo’s strike before the lead was extended by De Bruyne. “They were more effective,” Tite said, struggling to hold back tears. “Not a superiority in terms of performance, but in terms of effectiveness on the pitch.” Belgium held on even after Philippe Coutinho’s cross was headed in by Augusto, who managed to evade Kompany and Jan Vertonghen three minutes after replacing Paulinho. “Sometimes you have to accept that Brazil has got this finesse, that quality, and that they’re going to break you down, and (Belgium) just refused to accept that,” Martinez said. “This is something special.” Belgium, which finished fourth at the 1986 tournament and has never won the European Championship, is now on a 24-match unbeaten streak.

FRANCE DEFEATS URUGUAY 2-0 TO REACH THE SEMIFINALS By STEPHEN WADE AP Sports Writer NIZHNY NOVGOROD, Russia (AP) — A shot that flew directly at the hands of the opposing goalkeeper turned into a World Cup goal for Antoine Griezmann. The France striker scored the second goal in his team’s 2-0 quarterfinal victory over Uruguay on Friday, sending a seemingly easy-to-save shot at a waiting Fernando Muslera. But the ball hit the keeper on the palms, bounced off and looped over his head and into the net. The victory gave France a spot in the World Cup semifinals. The 1998 champions will next face Belgium on Tuesday in St. Petersburg. Griezmann didn’t celebrate what was his third goal of the tournament. “I was playing against a lot of friends,” said Griezmann, who is teammates with Uruguay defenders Diego Godin and Jose Gimenez at Atletico

Madrid, “so I think it was normal not to celebrate.” Raphael Varane gave France the lead with a header in the 40th minute. Griezmann sent in a free kick from the right side and Varane raced across the area. He got his head to the ball and sent it into the far corner behind Muslera. Griezmann scored his goal, which was similar to the one scored by Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale against Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius in the Champions League final, in the 61st minute. “We all saw that it was not a very common goal, but Muslera has been a very important pillar for all this process and through all our work on our way up to here, so I’m not going to wash my hands putting any responsibility on my players,” Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez said. “This is the kind of thing that I will discuss with the players in the locker room.” Griezmann is a Frenchman who plays professionally in Spain, but

He likes the traditional South American drink mate, he speaks Spanish like someone from the South American country and he’s been pictured wearing the team’s jersey.

Godin, who was playing for Uruguay on Friday, is also the godfather of Griezmann’s daughter. “I love Uruguayan culture and I love Uruguayans, so I have a lot of respect for them,” Griezmann said.

France went on to reach the World Cup final the last two times it advanced to the semifinals. They won their only World Cup in 1998 on home soil, and in 2006 lost to Italy on penalties.

The match at Nizhny Novgorod Stadium pitted France’s speed against Uruguay’s stubborn defense and its occasional attacking threats. But with Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani injured and on the bench and Luis Suarez neutralized, it was France that scored the goals. Suarez, who scored two goals in the group stage, didn’t get a single touch on the ball in France’s penalty area for the entire match. Cavani scored both goals in the 2-0 win over Portugal in the round of 16, but he sat on the bench with an injured left calf he picked up in that match. Four minutes after Varane gave France the lead, Uruguay nearly equalized. France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris dived to his right and got a hand on a header from Martin Caceres, pushing it just wide of the goal. “Lloris had a great save,” France coach Didier Deschamps said. “Apart from that, they didn’t have many great opportunities.”

Wimbledon: Williams v Rodina is matchup of Mom v Mom By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer LONDON (AP) — When Serena Williams steps out on Centre Court to play Evgeniya Rodina in Wimbledon’s fourth round today, it will be a rare meeting of Mom vs. Mom. Such matchups could happen with greater frequency as parenthood becomes increasingly popular on the women’s tennis tour. There were a half-dozen mothers in the singles main draw at the All England Club this year: 23-time Grand Slam champion Williams; another former No. 1 and two-time major champ, Victoria Azarenka; Rodina, Kateryna Bondarenko, Tatjana Maria and Vera Zvonareva. Two more moms entered the doubles event, Mandy Minella and Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez. A ninth, Patty Schnyder, lost during qualifying for singles. “At different points, we’ve had one or two mothers at a time. And then

it’s grown to three or four mothers. And now we’ve seen that we have more, at present, than we’ve had in the past. There was Margaret Court. Evonne Goolagong. (Kim) Clijsters,” said Kathleen Stroia, WTA Senior VP for sport sciences and medicine, naming mothers who won Grand Slam titles. “The difference,” she said, “is that now it’s certainly something that is becoming common.” Williams is competing in her second major tournament since having a daughter, Olympia, last September. Motherhood is an important part of who she is now. The 36-year-old American has spoken openly about a health scare during childbirth. About gaining weight while breast-feeding. About the joys of bringing her child onsite to a tournament for the first time. About the difficulty of dividing her time between family and forehands. About the precedent the All England Club

to run back to him and spend every second with him. So that’s the balance I think is the tough one.” As a member of the WTA player council, Azarenka has been involved with discussions about how the tour can help the growing group of moms. Among the topics being looked at: the “protected ranking” policy, which allows players to enter a certain number of tournaments based on where they were ranked before taking time off because of an injury, illness or pregnancy; whether a similar rule should be established with regards to seeding. One concern raised by some of the mothers in interviews during Wimbledon was that not enough tournaments offer childcare facilities, the way the four Grand Slams do. While Maria was in action at the grass-court tournament, her four-yearold daughter, Charlotte, spent her days at what the All England Club calls the competitors’ creche,

essentially a nursery for children of players and coaches. It opened in 1983, was refurbished in 2015, and has space for 15 or so kids. “It’s like a regular kindergarten. They eat together. They do activities. We don’t have to look after her at all. Normally, we check on her at the other Grand Slams: ‘Are you hungry?’ or ‘Do you want to leave?’” Maria said. “But she wants to be there from 11 in the morning until 8 o’clock in the evening, every day. She loves it.” Maria said her daughter often plays with the daughters of Rodina and Bondarenko. Zvonareva’s two-year-old, Evelyn, spent time at the creche, too, while Mom played at Wimbledon for the first time since 2014. Rodina, a 29-year-old qualifier from Russia with $1.7 million in career prize money, said that at other tournaments, she’ll sometimes leave her 5½-year-old daughter in the players’ lounge with an iPad to keep her occupied.
