- The United States is headed to the Round of 16 for the first time since the 2022 FIFA World Cup after defeating Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0 on Tuesday night in the Round of 32 at Levi's Stadium.
Folarin Balogun gave the Americans the lead just before halftime, and Malik Tillman added a late free kick as the United States advanced despite playing the final 27 minutes with 10 men.
The victory marked the Americans' first World Cup knockout-stage win since a 2-0 victory over Mexico in the Round of 16 at the 2002 World Cup.
The United States controlled much of the opening half and finally broke through in first-half stoppage time. After an earlier goal was ruled out for offside, Balogun capitalized on a deflected pass inside the penalty area and tucked a low shot beneath the Bosnia goalkeeper for his tournament-leading third goal.
The Americans have now scored first in all four of their matches at the 2026 World Cup.

- Press Release Courtesy of the NCAA- It’s Boomer Sooner time in Omaha. Oklahoma has won the 2026 Men’s College World Series, steamrolling through North Carolina in the winner-take-all Game 3, 13-2, capturing its first national title in over 30 years and third overall. The Sooners are the seventh straight SEC team to win the national championship.
It was an all-around masterclass for OU, jumping out to a 3-1 lead by the end of the third and never looking back. They put at least one run across the plate in four of the final six innings, including three in the fourth and four in the eighth.
The fourth was where Oklahoma’s upper hand became clear. Walker McDuffie’s three consecutive one-out walks loaded the bases, and UNC turned to star freshman Caden Glauber. The Tar Heels were previously 29-0 with whenever he pitched, but he was pulled after a walk and Jaxon Willits’ two-RBI single.

- OMAHA, Neb. — Oklahoma catcher Dayton LeChance has become one of the Sooners' most important players during their run to the College World Series.
The journey to Omaha, however, was anything but easy.
LeChance grew up in Montreal, where French is the primary language for much of the population. When he arrived in Oklahoma to pursue college baseball, he found himself more than 2,000 miles from home while trying to navigate classes and daily life in a language he was still learning.
"There were definitely some difficult moments," LeChance said. "But I did everything I was able to do to bring me to this moment right here."
The adjustment nearly pushed him away from the game.
Away from family and facing academic challenges because of the language barrier, LeChance considered walking away from baseball altogether.
Instead, he persevered.
Now, the 6-foot-4 catcher is one of Oklahoma's leaders and one...

- OMAHA, Neb. — Every successful team seems to have a unique tradition.
For Georgia baseball, that tradition comes in the form of a sour candy.
The Bulldogs have embraced a dugout ritual known as "Sour Power," a team tradition that began during a road trip to Mississippi State and has followed them all the way to the Men's College World Series.
The idea started with Georgia player Bryce Callaway during a stop at Buc-ee's while traveling to Starkville earlier this season.
Callaway bought a bag of Sour Power candy, and teammates began handing it out after hits, runs and other positive moments during games.
The Bulldogs proceeded to sweep Mississippi State on the road.
The tradition stuck.
"We went on to sweep Mississippi State, and we were rolling ever since then," Georgia outfielder Scott Newman said. "So it's stuck."
