Here’s this week’s update on sports around the world
COPA CUP
As predicted, Team USA was no match for Lionel Messi! The highlights below show Messi’s amazing goal and Lavezzi’s backward fall over the field fencing!
Many soccer fans and players spotted Fox Sports’ error when they listed Ashlyn Harris, US Women’s National Team Member, instead of Chris Wondolowski.

Team USA isn’t totally out of the tournament yet; they battle for third place in the Copa Cup this Saturday at 8pm!
EURO CUP
If you missed the Euro Cup this week watching Basketball or Copa America, here are some of the latest highlights.
OLYMPICS
SECURITY
the Olympics are still over a month away but Athletes have already started arriving in Rio and some are calling for increased securities measures to start prior to the games. Team Australia is being particularly vocal after members of their Paralympic Sailing Squad were robbed.
GOLF
McIlroy has pulled out of the Olympics because he and his wife hope to grow their family this next year and he doesn’t want to risk passing Zika to her.

LOST & FOUND
A father and daughter found Slalom Canoeist Joe Jacobi’s Gold Medal in the trash! We think this is one of the best dumpster diving finds!
RUNNING
Running is more dangerous than people think! We hope she still got a finisher medal!
