USA 0-1 Belgium An easy goal for the visitors has the Americans in an early hole for the first time in this tournament.

FT: SAFC 0-0 MB Despite a better second half, both teams end this #America250 match with a point. Time for fireworks and postgame interviews.

Jorge Hernandez's penalty goes off the bar and is cleared away. Just that type of match for San Antonio tonight.

Joey Batrouni took a shot going for the save and was down for several minutes. He comes off and goes straight to the locker room. Richard Sanchez in goal for SAFC now.

San Antonio had their best scoring chance of the night as the strike from Akeem O’Connor-Ward goes off the left post and out. SAFC was inches away from taking the lead.

HT: SAFC 0-0 MB A bit of a snoozer first half with minimal chances both ways. Let’s see if it picks up after the break. Time to enjoy some hot dogs on this Fourth of July.

SAFC with a few chances off the corner, but they could not punch the ball home.

Bane!!!!!!!

📍Toyota Field San Antonio FC is back home tonight to take on Monterey Bay FC on this #America250 celebration. I’ll have coverage for LoneStar Sports Journal.

No changes to the SAFC injury report on this Fourth of July match day. Both Greive and Suarez remain OUT.

MALIK TILLMAN DID IT! 2-0 USA

Balogun shown a red card and he’s been ejected from the match. #USMNT leading 1-0 in the 64th.

#USA 1-0 #BIH (45') Balogun with the net meg and the Americans go up by a goal just before halftime.

At the 30 minute mark, we're still scoreless but both teams have had some good scoring chances.

The United States and Bosnia are underway in the Round of 32!

As reported by Shams Charania, the Denver Nuggets traded pick No. 26 to the San Antonio Spurs for pick No. 35 and 2nd future second-round picks. Tarris Reed Jr. is now a Spur.

The Jayden Quaintance pick is interesting for the Spurs and at 18 years old, it makes sense as a long term big playing in place of and with Victor Wembanyama. With the talk of trading the pick before the draft, let’s see what San Antonio does with it.

NEW: "Our confidence is above the roof." The #USMNT is heading to the knockout stage of the FIFA World Cup after defeating Australia in Seattle on Friday. More on #USAvsAUS for @fwrdaxis.com ⬇ fwrdaxis.com/u-s-defeats-...

45’+1 | #USMNT 2-0 #Socceroos Alex Freeman puts the ball home off the free kick to put the Americans up by two goals. After VAR review, it was determined he was not offsides.

11’ | #USMNT 1-0 #Socceroos An own goal by Australia puts the United States up early in this group stage match, just a poor mistake by the Socceroos but the Americans will take it.

Christian Pulisic OUT today for Team USA with a calf injury vs. Australia, USA coach Mauricio Pochettino announced.

Goodnight Frost Bank Center! See you in October (and next month for a concert 😉)

Couldn't be more thankful to have covered this Spurs team this season, a truly magical and unexpected season. Thankful to everyone at @sbnation.bsky.social for being amazing colleagues.

We weren’t ready to win an NBA championship." The Spurs' season ended Saturday as inexperience and growing pains showed, giving a storybook ending that belonged to New York. The future still looks bright in San Antonio. More for @sbnation.bsky.social ⬇ www.poundingtherock.com/game-recaps/...

Wembanyama on what he learned from these NBA Finals: "One of many things I learned is the margin of error is very, very thin... We absolutely, absolutely dominated for most of the series, but our mistakes are punished so hard."

Wembanyama: "I don't think we could have learned more and gained more experience in one playoff run and in one season." Wemby adds for him personally the 2025-26 season has been hard and full of lessons.

Victor Wembanyama on the NBA Finals being a moment to learn: "This doesn't compare to anything before, this is the biggest lesson of my life, the biggest learning moment."

Vassell on his message to the fans: "I just want to say thank you to them, because without them, and the noise, and them having our backs, we're not in this situation, we're not in this position."

Devin Vassell on the loss: "It's tough, it hurts a lot, it stings a lot. Right now, seeing them storming the court on our home court, it's tough. We know we'll do everything we can, scratch fight to get back into this position."

Mitch Johnson: "I don't think anybody other than the people in that room expected us to be here, so there's a lot of good in that, and there's a lot of pain in what just happened, and both things can be true."

Mitch Johnson on the season ending with a loss in Game 5: "We weren't ready to win an NBA championship, better team won, we did a lot of good things, and we didn't finish the job, and that's what it is."

More to say on this later, but thank you all for following my coverage of the Spurs this year!

For people microscoping Mitch Johnson timeouts -- two successful challenges, so now he's down to two timeouts with 5.5 minutes left

Challenge successful. Foul on KAT.

Mitch Johnson challenging the foul call on Wemby. It looks like it might be a successful one as the replay shows KAT shoving Wemby and Hart runs into him.
