Spain 2-1 Sweden: Olga Carmona Puts La Roja Into the Women's World Cup Final

Olga Carmona's stunning late winner fired Spain into the World Cup final with a 2-1 win against Sweden.

In a cagey contest with few chances for either side, the game suddenly sprung into life in the final stages with three goals in the final 10 minutes of normal time.

Barcelona winger Salma Paralluelo, 19, gave Spain the lead in the 81st minute, but her goal was soon cancelled out by Rebecka Blomqvist.

But Carmona responded in emphatic fashion just one minute later, sealing a final clash against either Australia or England on Sunday.

Spain kept possession well in the opening stages and had a chance when a looping cross found Alba Redondo at the back post, but her header was cleared by Sweden.

Harry Maguire's £30m Transfer from Man United to West Ham 'Collapses'

Harry Maguire's £30million move from Manchester United to West Ham has reportedly collapsed.

The Hammers agreed the fee for the defender last Wednesday as David Moyes looks to strengthen his squad after the £105m departure of Declan Rice to Arsenal earlier this summer.

However, according to The Guardian, the Europa Conference League winners grew tired of waiting for the defender to finalise an exit from Old Trafford, with Maguire thought to want a pay-off of around £7m to leave the club.

The collapse of the deal comes after Mail Sport's Transfer Confidential reported on Monday how Maguire's move to West Ham was stagnating as United were hoping to bring in a replacement before sanctioning his departure.

Erik ten Hag's side finished third last season which meant the 30-year-old received a significant wage increase as a result of their return to the Champions League.

Kevin-Prince Boateng Retires from Football

Ghanaian international, Kevin-Prince Boateng has officially confirmed his retirement from football.

Boateng who last played for Hertha Berlin retires from football at the age of 35.

The former Black Stars player announced his retirement on Instagram.

"I LOVE YOU. But that’s a WRAP for me ???? Thank you FOOTBALL for everything ‼️," Kevin-Prince Boateng wrote as he accompanied it with a video.

Despite receiving offers from numerous clubs in Arab countries and America, the former AC Milan standout has chosen to step away from the game to focus on his coaching career.

Boateng made his mark on the international stage by representing Ghana in two FIFA World Cup tournaments.

In the 2010 World Cup held in South Africa, Boateng played a crucial role as Ghana reached the quarter-finals.

One of his memorable moments was when he scored a goal in the round of 16 matches against the United States of America, helping Ghana secure a 2-1 victory and progress to the last eight.

However, his journey ended in disappointment as they were eliminated by Uruguay in a penalty shootout.

Throughout his illustrious career, Boateng has played for several renowned clubs, including Fiorentina, Borussia Dortmund, Genoa, Portsmouth, Besiktas, Schalke 04, and FC Barcelona, among others.

As he hangs up his boots, Boateng will embark on a new chapter in his football journey, contributing his knowledge and expertise to the coaching staff of Bertha Berlin BSC.
