This week on Yesterday in Sports:

On this episode of Yesterday in Sports, Chris Horwedel recaps the biggest stories from the previous day in sports, starting with the United States men’s national team advancing to the Round of 32 at the World Cup after a 2-0 win over Australia in Seattle. With Christian Pulisic out, the USMNT still handled business behind a Cameron Burgess own goal forced by Folarin Balogun and a first-half goal from Alex Freeman, giving the United States a major early tournament milestone.

The World Cup coverage continues with Brazil bouncing back from its opening draw by beating Haiti 3-0 in Philadelphia, led by two goals from Matheus Cunha and another from Vinícius Júnior. Morocco also stayed dangerous in Group C with a 1-0 win over Scotland, while Haiti’s first World Cup appearance since 1974 comes to an end after a memorable return to the tournament.

Chris also covers Jonathan Toews officially announcing his retirement after a legendary NHL career that included three Stanley Cups, a Conn Smythe Trophy, a Selke Trophy, two Olympic gold medals, and a place in the Triple Gold Club. The hockey discussion continues with the Carolina Hurricanes celebrating their second Stanley Cup championship as North Carolina enters “Stanley Cup Summer” and Raleigh prepares for a championship parade.

In the WNBA, the Washington Mystics snapped the New York Liberty’s eight-game winning streak with an 86-83 road upset behind Kiki Iriafen and Sonia Citron. In MLB, the Athletics pulled off one of the wildest comebacks of the season, beating the Angels 12-11 in 10 innings after overcoming a seven-run deficit. The episode also looks at Brendan Sorsby entering the NFL Supplemental Draft after gambling-related issues, the X Games launching a new team-based X Games League, and the rumor of the day involving LeBron James potentially being in play for the Golden State Warriors.
