REIMS, France -- Spain tested the United States like no other team at the Women's World Cup.The U.S. looked disorganized at times facing Spain's aggressive and physical style before pulling out a 2-1 victory Monday night.It could have been just what the Americans needed: France is waiting.Megan Rapinoe converted a pair of penalty kicks to set up the United States' much-anticipated quarterfinal rendezvous with the hosts.The tense match was knotted at 1 until Rapinoe's second penalty put the defending champions ahead in the 75th minute."I think we showed just a lot of grit and experience, to be honest, in this game," Rapinoe said.

    Denver Post, Thursday - 05/30/2024 - 09:30 PM

  • Broncos OTA observations: WR Marvin Mims Jr. has strong day
    Denver Post, Thursday - 05/30/2024 - 07:19 PM

During the 11-on-11 period of the Broncos’ organized team activities on Thursday, quarterback Jarrett Stidham threw a beautiful deep ball across the field as Mims snuck behind the defense to make a touchdown catch, highlighting a strong practice for the second-year wide receiver. Broncos coach Sean Payton expects Mims to have a larger role on offense this season, saying, “I think we’ll see a lot of growth from Year 1 to Year 2.” At the same time, the former Oklahoma standout understands he has to continue making plays like his touchdown grab on Thursday to gain the opportunity for more offensive snaps during games. “It starts on the practice field,” Mims said.
