New York (AFP) - Billionaire Tottenham Hotspur mogul Joe Lewis has avoided prison in an insider trading case, with a New York judge on Thursday instead giving him three years' probation and a $5 million fine. Judge Jessica Clarke also imposed sweeping restrictions on his company Broadbay, calling his offending "undoubtedly serious" but sparing the 87-year-old businessman from time behind bars. "I'm here today because I made a terrible mistake. I'm ashamed, I'm sorry," Lewis said in a hushed voice before sentencing, following his guilty plea for supplying insider market information to acquainta...

Nashville (AFP) - Gio Reyna celebrated his return to the USA starting line-up with two goals as the Americans thrashed Ghana 4-0 in a one-sided friendly on Tuesday.

And the Borussia Dortmund attacker slotted back into the American team in style in Nashville on Tuesday as Berhalter's men ran riot against an outclassed Black Stars side. Reyna opened the scoring at Geodis Park after just 10 minutes, sweeping home an emphatic finish after...

Washington (AFP) - Former US president Donald Trump took a swipe at his own country's women's soccer team on Sunday evening after they crashed out of the World Cup on penalties to Sweden, declaring that "woke equals failure." Despite sealing American glory at the previous two World Cups, the team have become a lightning rod for anger from the US political right, in part because of their advocacy for social justice. Many conservatives were particularly chagrined by players taking the knee during the national anthem, in protest at the country's record on racial equality. Their co-captain, Megan ...

Wellington (AFP) - Captain Lindsey Horan scored a second-half equaliser as holders the United States came from behind to draw 1-1 with the Netherlands at the Women's World Cup on Thursday in a rematch of the 2019 final.

But Horan responded just after the hour as the Americans maintained their proud unbeaten record at the World Cup stretching back to the 2011 final, when they were beaten on penalties by Japan. The stalemate leaves the two teams lo...

Washington (AFP) - Declan Rice made his Arsenal debut and Kai Havertz scored his first goal for the Gunners as Mikel Arteta's side hammered the Major League Soccer All Star team 5-0 in a friendly at Audi Field on Wednesday.

Miami (AFP) - Without a win under its belt since May, Inter Miami is an unlikely candidate to be crowned Major League Soccer's hottest team -- but that was before Lionel Messi came to town. Since singing with the Florida club last month, the Argentine superstar has lit up anticipation around both the team and US professional soccer at large, especially among Miami's many South American residents. Inter's regular season games are sold out, new stands are being built to expand its stadium's capacity, and the overall soccer mood is buoyant. Call it the Messi effect. As his plane touched down on ...
