World Tour Soccer: Challenge Edition Review

Although far from perfect, World Tour Soccer is still worth a shot if you’re hungry for PSP footy thrills.

The crisp graphics and opportunity to play as classic teams such as 1966 England will be enough to convince most fans to squander 30 quid, but devotees of console kickabouts such as Konami’s International Superstar Soccer may feel frustrated by the players’ shallow selection of moves and robotic movement around the pitch.

The intelligence of your computer-controlled teammates also leaves a lot to be desired – occasionally they’ll just stand and stare at the crowd when the ball rolls to their feet – but WTS still has an old-school charm that will keep most gamers happy until FIFA 2006 shoots for PSP glory in November.

Tadej Pogacar celebrates his 3rd Tour de France victory in style with another audacious stage win

By Jerome Pugmire AP Sports Writer

Tour de France winner Tadej Pogacar celebrates on the podium after winning the 21st stage of the Tour de France to clinch the title on Sunday in Nice, France.

Daniel Cole | AP photo

Tadej Pogacar pulled off a rare double by winning the Tour de France and the Giro d’Italia in the same year.

Tadej Pogacar had no need to attack on the final stage of the Tour de France. Defending a lead of more than five minutes in Sunday’s time trial, he was set to comfortably win the race for the third time and first time in three years, anyway.

But defense has not been in his vocabulary during this race and he simply could not resist another attack.

With his main rival Jonas Vingegaard unable to challenge him, Pogacar celebrated his Tour victory in style with a dominant win in the time trial ending in Nice for the 17th stage win of his already illustrious Tour career.

The 25-year-old Slovenian rider also became the first cyclist to secure the Giro d’Italia and Tour de France in the same year since the late Marco Pantani in 1998.

“To win both together is another level above,” said Pogacar, who rides for UAE Team Emirates. “I think this is the first Grand Tour where I was totally confident every day. Even at the Giro I remember I had one bad day. This year, the Tour was just amazing. I was enjoying it from day one.”

The two-time defending champion Vingegaard of Denmark was second overall. He also finished the 21st and final stage in second place.

Pogacar won the 34-kilometer (21-mile) time trial on the French Riviera’s roads from Monaco to Nice in 45 minutes, 24 seconds. Vingegaard was 1 minute, 3 seconds behind him and Belgian rider Remco Evenepoel 1:14 back in third spot.

In the overall standings, Vingegaard finished 6:17 behind Pogacar and Evenepoel was third overall, 9:18 behind Pogacar — whose other Tour wins came in 2020 and 2021.

“I’m super happy. I cannot describe how happy I am after two hard years in the Tour de France,” Pogacar said. “This year everything (was) perfection.”

The race did not finish in Paris as it usually does because of the Olympic Games. Nice mayor Christian Estrosi called the region between the Mediterranean Sea and the southern French Alps “perfect cycling territory.”

From early Sunday morning, fans camped along the popular Promenade des Anglais in Nice to guard a spot that would offer the best glimpse of cyclists.

Some fans chanted “Remco, Remco” as the race-against-the-clock specialist zoomed past them.

They may have been surprised to see Pogacar going flat out.

After his explosive attack on Friday, Pogacar said he would not try to win Saturday’s stage. Yet he still won it to become the second man to clinch five mountain stages in one Tour after Italian rider Gino Bartali in 1948.

Pogacar led Vingegaard overnight by 5 minutes, 14 seconds. But the lure of another stage win proved too strong and he flew down the winding roads past picturesque Èze and Villefranche-sur-Mer on the approach to Nice, where the route flattened out again.

Pogacar held out three fingers as the finish line and a sixth stage win approached on this year’s Tour — the same number of stages he won when dominating the Giro d’Italia.

It was Pogacar’s biggest winning margin of his three Tour wins — beating the 5:20 gap on Vingegaard three years ago, but below the 7:29 victory margin Vingegaard enjoyed over Pogacar last year.

The battle with Vingegaard was not as close as it might have been in different circumstances.

The 27-year-old Vingegaard was hospitalized for nearly two weeks in April following a high-speed crash in the Tour of the Basque Country. He resumed competitive racing only on this Tour.

“Under normal circumstances, I would be disappointed with my Tour de France. But, after everything I’ve gone through, I can’t be disappointed,” Vingegaard said. “I would have loved to go a bit further, but it is what it is. I would like to come back to the Tour de France and win it again … I believe the yellow jersey is the most beautiful jersey in road cycling.”

Ecuadorian Richard Carapaz won the best climber’s polka dot jersey while Eritrea’s Biniam Girmay won the top sprinter’s green jersey and the 24-year-old Evenepoel capped a fine debut Tour with the white jersey for best young rider.

“I feel like I’m floating through the sky. It’s super nice,” Girmay said. “I just want to say for the young kids, keep working hard and everything is possible.”

Women's Olympic soccer 2024: Group previews and predictions

USWNT head coach Emma Hayes reveals Catarina Macario will miss the Olympics due to a knee injury. (2:07)

The United States women's national soccer team is in action at the 2024 Olympic soccer tournament in Paris, the team's first competitive games with Emma Hayes at the helm as head coach. She takes over following USWNT's worst finish in World Cup history last year, when it was eliminated by Sweden in the round of 16.

The USWNT won four of the first five Olympics to feature women's soccer, but it is in search of a first gold medal since the 2012 London Games, having earned a bronze medal at the Tokyo Games in 2021.

World champions Spain are one of the favorites, while defending gold medalists Canada could also be in the mix. Unlike the men's Olympic soccer tournament, there are no U23 age restrictions, so a host of top talent will be on show.

The top two teams from each group and the two best third-place teams reach the knockout rounds. So here's what you can expect as the tournament begins on July 25 and finishes Aug. 10.

France , Colombia , Canada , New Zealand

Group A is one of the toughest to predict. There are no debutants -- each team have featured in the tournament at least twice, bringing a degree of familiarity to proceedings -- but it is a fascinating and competitive field.

Reigning champions Canada are aiming to defend their title but have to do so without the retired Christine Sinclair . Hosts France, still seeking their first piece of major silverware, bring a heightened level of intensity and their home advantage and recent success of making the Euro 2022 semifinals should make them contenders. Meanwhile, Colombia's run to the World Cup quarterfinals demonstrated their prowess last summer, and they are sure to challenge for a place in the knockout rounds again.

Even New Zealand, though historically lagging behind, are beginning to show promise and could surprise the more established teams, which adds an unpredictable element. With quality players such as Marie-Antoinette Katoto , Linda Caicedo , Ali Riley and Jordyn Huitema on show, Group A may well have some twists and turns in it.

Player to watch: Linda Caicedo

After dazzling at the 2023 World Cup aged just 18, Real Madrid and Colombia forward Caicedo is poised capture the fans' attention at this Olympics as well. Her exceptional vision, skill and finishing make her one to watch in this group. We've seen the best defences in the world struggle to contain the youngster and we can expect no less in this tournament.

Must-see match

Despite the France-Canada rivalry, Colombia vs. France could be the most exciting matchup between two ruthless and physical attacks. The pair boast incredible talent across the pitch and while France will be confident, Colombia have shown that they are a force to be reckoned with after knocking Germany out of the World Cup last year. Prepare for fireworks when these two meet in Lyon on July 25.

Prediction: 1. France, 2. Canada, 3. Colombia, 4. New Zealand

France's talented and experienced squad is likely to top the group. The battle for second will be fierce, with Canada likely to edge out Colombia, although the South Americans could cause a potential surprise. New Zealand just lack the depth and clinical edge to finish above fourth. -- Emily Keogh

United States , Zambia , Germany , Australia

We won't be accepting any group of death cliché here, but suffice to say this group could go any number of ways. Casual fans might dismiss Zambia given the pedigree of the United States , Germany and (to an extent more recently) Australia , but they would do so at their own peril. Zambia might have the best player in the tournament in forward Barbra Banda , who is lighting up the NWSL , and Germany just lost star midfielder Lena Oberdorf to injury. Add in U.S. and Australia teams that have shown some inconsistencies, and this group really is a toss-up.

The USWNT will garner the most global attention after its fall from grace at the 2023 World Cup and the recent arrival of new head coach Emma Hayes. Failing to win a gold medal an achievement that feels like a longshot considering the team's state of transition would mark the first time since the Olympics began including women's soccer in 1996 that the Americans didn't win either a World Cup or the Olympics the following year.

Germany, the 2016 gold medalists, are back in the Olympics after missing the previous edition entirely because of Europe's previous double jeopardy qualifying system based around World Cup placement.

Australia, meanwhile, must navigate the Olympics without star striker Sam Kerr , who tore her ACL in January. Australia finished fourth at the 2021 Olympics and last year's World Cup, which the country co-hosted.

Player to watch: Barbra Banda

Three years ago, the Zambia forward became the first player in Olympic history to score hat tricks in back-to-back games. Today, she is the co-leading scorer in the NWSL with 12 goals in 12 games. Hayes called Banda "the most in-form striker in world football," and few would argue.

Even without Kerr, the July 31 group finale between Australia and the United States could be a doozy. These teams have played some wild games in their recent history, including a rollercoaster of a bronze-medal match three years ago that the Americans won, 4-3 after leading 4-1 at one point. Both teams could enter this match in need of a result to guarantee advancement.

Prediction: 1. Germany, 2. USA, 3. Zambia, 4. Australia

This is the Root for Chaos group. I see the USWNT and Zambia getting into an open-ended transition game in the opener that ends as a high-scoring draw. Germany beats Australia in the other opener then picks up a point against the Americans, as Zambia and Australia also draw on matchday two. That leaves the final matchday looking like Germany (4), U.S. (2), Zambia (2), Australia (2). Zambia then gets a point off Germany, learning from that pre-2023 World Cup friendly they played, and the U.S. narrowly edges Australia to go through as well. Zambia then hopes to advance as a third-place team. -- Jeff Kassouf

Spain , Japan , Nigeria , Brazil

There is nowhere for teams to hide when it comes to women's Olympic soccer, but Group C is incredibly tough for the talent and experience it packs even by the tournament's standards.

World champions Spain are the headliners, having picked up their first piece of silverware at the 2023 World Cup, and have continued to flex their muscles in recent months despite upheaval off the pitch. La Roja will be favourites to go all the way in France, but history is not on their side, as no team has ever won the World Cup and Olympic gold in successive years.

Japan come into the Olympics in good form and could surprise a few, as they did at the World Cup, but their place in the knockouts could come down to their match against Brazil. The two sides have met for three friendlies over the past nine months, with each claiming a win before a draw at the SheBelieves Cup in April.

Africa's most successful women's team, Nigeria, round out the quartet. Although their record at Olympic tournaments isn't glittering, the Super Falcons turned heads at the World Cup and played smart football to shock multiple teams en route to a penalty shootout loss to England in the round of 16. Nigeria are not a team to take lightly, but they haven't been setting the world alight in recent games and could be viewed as fodder for the other three nations.

Player to watch: Aitana Bonmatí

It's hard to pick just one, given the group is so heavily loaded with talent. But, as it has been so often of late, the one to watch is current Ballon d'Or holder Bonmatí. The Barcelona midfielder is the chief architect for Spain and conducts the team's moves with sublime vision and exceptional passing range.

Also, in what could be Brazil legend Marta 's last tournament, certainly her last Olympics, everyone should pay attention to what the 38-year-old is doing as well.

Must-see match: Spain vs. Japan

A rerun of a Group C game from the 2023 World Cup, Spain vs. Japan will kick off the first Olympic matchday on July 25. Last year, Japan routed Spain 4-0 but the result snapped the eventual winners into action for the rest of the tournament. This time around the game should be an indication of just how far both nations can go in France and, regardless of the result, should provide plenty of entertainment for the purists.

Prediction: 1. Spain, 2. Japan, 3. Brazil, 4. Nigeria

Spain have become good at navigating their way through tough games and will look to take the momentum of their World Cup win into this tournament. They will likely top the group, but with Japan hot on their heels. Brazil will be looking for an upset but, as of yet, have been unconvincing under coach Arthur Elias. They will need to hit the ground running in their first outing against a Nigeria team that have struggled a bit in recent games. -- Sophie Lawson

Tour de France 2024: How to watch the final stage of the cycling Super Bowl

Today, the 111th Tour de France concludes, with bikers riding from Monaco to Nice. The annual long-distance race has brought together some of the biggest names in cycling, including two-time defending champion Jonas Vingegaard, Tadej Pogačar, Primož Roglič, Remco Evenepoel, Juan Ayuso, Carlos Rodríguez, Adam Yates, João Almeida and Matteo Jorgenson. The Tour De France has covered 2,170 miles across 21 days of racing, and it all comes to an end tomorrow, July 21, in Nice. This year's Tour will be the first ever to not finish in Paris (due to the 2024 Olympics).

Want to tune into the final stint of the 2024 Tour de France (AKA the cycling Super Bowl)? Here's everything you need to know about the last day of the cycling event.

How to watch the Tour de France from the US:

Stream the tour de france.

Tour de France dates: June 29 - July 21

Tour de France TV channel: NBC

Tour de France streaming: Peacock

How to watch the 2024 Tour de France without cable:

Starting at $8 a month, a Peacock subscription is the easiest way to stream live sports and events airing on NBC, including this year’s Tour de France! On top of access to the Tour de France, the streaming platform is the home of the 2024 Olympics, and the easiest way to stream most live sports and events airing on NBC. You’ll also get access to thousands of hours of shows and movies, including beloved sitcoms such as Parks and Recreation and The Office . For $14 monthly you can upgrade to an ad-free subscription which includes live access to your local NBC affiliate (not just during designated sports and events) and the ability to download select titles to watch offline.

Is there a free Tour de France livestream?

Don’t want to pay for Peacock to watch the Tour de France? UK-based streaming platform ITVX will have a free livestream of their Tour de France coverage throughout the race. To access this free livestream though, you’ll need a VPN.

To watch ITVX from the US, you’ll need to sign up for a good streaming VPN and choose a UK server. From there, you should be able to watch ITVX totally free from the US.

A VPN (virtual private network) helps protect your data, can mask your IP address and is perhaps most popular for being especially useful in the age of streaming. Whether you’re looking to watch Friends on Netflix (which left the U.S. version of the streamer back in 2019) or tune in to a boxing match this weekend without paying the PPV prices, a VPN can help you out. Looking to try a VPN for the first time? This guide breaks down the best VPN options for every kind of user .
