SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Rising star Trinity Rodman scored for U.S. in the 76th minute and again in the 88th, and the Americans finally capitalized on their many offensive chances to beat Wales 2-0 on Sunday in a final tuneup for the Women’s World Cup.First, Rodman broke up a scoreless tie when she one-touched a pass from Sophia Smith then later emphatically delivered again to provide a glimpse of Americans’ youth movement headed Down Under this month. Smith corralled a pretty ball from Lynn Williams — who subbed in during the 64th minute — sent from the center circle and raced past her defender on the left side to find a charging Rodman for the initial goal. Rodman, the highly touted 21-year-old forward, set up her own shot the next time. She entered for Alex Morgan to begin the second half.Rodman doubled her number of goals for the U.S. to give her four over 18 matches for the Americans — and she even had another chance on a header in the 74th. The U.S. hardly looked in...

Kim Kardashian is certainly keeping up with Tom Brady, but there has been no touchdown just yet.Whatever is going on between the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star, 42, and the Super Bowl champ, 45, it’s apparently not a romance — despite rumors that swirled after the pair were seen chatting at a party over the holiday weekend.“Later in the evening, Kim had some liquid courage and was overheard telling friends she has a crush on Tom,” an insider told People, though another clarified that the two are just “friends and have a lot of respect for each other.”“Kim is very focused on her kids and her businesses, and not in a relationship right now,” they added.Chatter of a romance between the controversial figures started after they “said hi briefly” at Michael Rubin’s Fourth of July party in The Hamptons, one source told People. Another similarly played down the interaction, noting they “barely even spoke … and barely even said hello.”Those in Brady’s camp also previously denie...

Revitalized with defense, Dennis Smith Jr. found perfect fit with Nets: “It was hand-in-glove fit”

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 00:48:48 GMT

LAS VEGAS — Resurrected with a newfound reputation as a defensive stopper, Dennis Smith Jr. found the team that fit like a glove.“It was communicated to me that I was a priority and the direction they were trying to go in was also on the same trajectory that I am in my career,” the 25-year-old said Sunday while watching the Summer League Nets trample the Knicks. “And I just thought it was hand-in-glove fit.”Indeed, the Nets are in a phase similar to Smith’s style and career arc. They’re a reconstruction after the Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving disaster, eager to establish an identity around youth and two-way adeptness.Smith Jr. said he contemplated the fit a few days prior to free agency, and the Nets became his first call. He now envisions a strong defensive squad in Brooklyn, though he was wary of bold declarations after a couple seasons with the Knicks.“I know how y’all do in NY,” Smith Jr. said with a smile. “But I...
