News of the day

• USWNT players have now spoken about their round-of-16 elimination to Sweden. Captain Lindsay Horan thanked supporters in an Instagram post but added “football can be won and lost by moments and millimeters” — a reference to the VAR decision that ruled the deciding penalty attempt had crossed the goal line by the thinnest of margins. USWNT forward Lynn Williams wrote that “from the sidelines our performance against Sweden was beautiful to watch, from the field it was a joy to play.”

• Netherlands’ forward Lineth Beerensteyn had a blunt reaction when she first heard that the United States had been bundled out of the World Cup. “From the first moment I heard they were out, I was just like, ‘Yes! Bye!” the Juventus attacker told reporters on Thursday. “From the start of the tournament, they had really big mouths and were already talking about the final. I was thinking you first have to show it on the pitch before you talk [big]. I’m not being rude in that way, I still have a lot of respect for them, but now they’re out of the tournament, and for me, it’s a relief, and for them, it’s something they will have to take with them in the future. Don’t start to talk about something that is far away. I hope they will learn from that.”

• England defender Lucy Bronze has said they must improve their performances if they are to win the Women’s World Cup. England
