Team USA soccer legend Carli Lloyd did not bite her tongue after the American men saw their 2026 World Cup journey come to an end in decisive fashion.  “I felt like they lost the game before they even stepped out onto the pitch,” Lloyd, 43, said on Fox Sports following Team USA’s 4-1 loss to Belgium on Monday, July 6. “I’m not sure why and I don’t know the reasons. Just from the beginning. Chasing, tentative, scared, just not confident on the ball.” Lloyd then turned her attention directly to the men’s national team’s captain.  “You wanted some of those big-time players to step up in big moments,” Lloyd said. “I gotta be honest, I was a bit disappointed with Christian Pulisic . Whether he wants to be the star of this team or not, we didn’t see enough from him in this particular game and, really, the whole World Cup. Little glimpses here or there.” Team USA's Christian Pulisic Had Messy Breakup Months Before 2026 World Cup Pulisic, 27, did not score in...

Former Bachelor and Bachelorette producer Julie LaPlaca claims in her new book, The Love Producer , that she was once considered as a possible season lead. In her debut memoir, available Tuesday, July 7, Julie, 41, recalls receiving a phone call from Bachelor creator Mike Fleiss after filming wrapped on Peter Weber ’s 2020 season. “We arranged to have a secret meeting when I returned to L.A., because my immediate bosses, according to [Mike], were against the idea and didn’t think it would work,” she writes. “But he was the boss of the bosses and loved it.” After telling her family about the potential opportunity, Julie rushed to tell Peter, who told her they “totally manifested this.” (Julie claims Peter was “campaigning” for her to be the star of her own journey to find love while working together on his season.)

The couple, who tied the knot in August 2004, began their lasting relationship after his 2002 guest appearance. Hermann has continued his role as Trevor Langan to Hargitay’s Olivia Benson throughout the series’ run, popping in from time-to-time as their offscreen romance thrived. Two years after their wedding, the pair welcomed son August in June 2006 and later adopted daughter Amaya and son Andrew in 2011.

When a heat wave settles in, the difference between comfort and a medical emergency often comes down to preparation. Extreme heat sends people to emergency rooms in surging numbers on major and extreme risk days, and simple steps taken early can keep a dangerous stretch from turning into a crisis. Staying cool and hydrating frequently are the two most important things you can do, but there’s more to it than cranking the AC and drinking water. Here’s what to know before the next stretch of dangerous heat hits. What a Heat Wave Really Is Prolonged hot spells are often driven by what meteorologists call a heat dome, a stubborn zone of high pressure that traps warm air beneath it. These systems don’t behave like typical summer weather, which is why they can push temperatures to record-breaking levels for days on end. “So what a heat dome really is, is a big high pressure system,” Dr. Erik Nielsen of Texas A&M University told Campus Insights Media . “High p...
