UEFA Champions League Field Set
There are four teams left in the Little League World Series. They’ll all play Saturday and Sunday. Both Saturday games will be rematches from pool play earlier this week. The International final pits Mexico against Taiwan. Taiwan upset Curacao, 5-2, today. Mexico beat Taiwan, 3-2, Tuesday but that game is meaningless now.
The U.S. final features San Antonio, Texas against Chula Vista, California. California edged Warner Robins, Georgia–the 2007 LLWS champion–11-10, tonight. Texas defeated California, 6-3, Tuesday. Saturday’s losers will meet Sunday in the consolation game. Saturday’s winners will battle for the LLWS championship.
Sergio Garcia, Paul Goydos and Steve Marino share the opening-round lead at the first PGA Tour playoff event in Jersey City, New Jersey. The three men fired six-under par 65s. Tiger Woods and Phil Mickleson are tied for 27th place after first-round 70s. Paul Lawrie leads the European Tour event in Perthshire, Scotland.
