of big teams struggling to
win their opening matches
at the World Cup in Russia.

champion Germany was
beaten by Mexico 1-0.

volley that bounced in off
the right post. Steven Zuber

izer in the 50th. Mexican

ber had shoved defender

way. There is video of what
happened and the referee
could have seen it.

randa said. Brooks Koepka kisses the Golf Champion Trophy after winning the U.S. Open Golf Championship, Sunday, June 17, 2018, in
