'Brilliant' video shows that football is the same no matter which gender plays it
An amazing video has demonstrated that football is always the “beautiful game” regardless of which gender happens to be playing it. With the FIFA Women's World Cup fast approaching, France’s team sponsor has gone above and beyond to show its support for women’s football while making a point about sexism in the sport. Phone company Orange has partnered with advertising company Marcel to produce a video that combats people’s prejudice against women’s football, particularly in comparison to men’s football. Ahead of the international competition, the video cleverly used visual effects technology to change segments of play by the French women’s national team and make it appear as if it is being played by the French men’s team. The video cleverly changed the appearance of female players, such as Estelle Cascarino and Sakina Karchaoui, to make them appear as if their actions were performed by high-profile men’s players, like Kylian Mbappé and Antoine Griezmann. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter The clips taken from the French women’s matches featured amazing pieces of footwork, incredible headers and stunning free-kicks, all of which were made to appear as though it was the men’s team. The final part of the 2-minute video revealed the original clips, showing that these amazing feats had actually been done by women all along. The video has been widely praised online, with some left amused by how it might rattle the sexists. One person wrote: “This is brilliant, simply brilliant! Can't wait for #FIFAWWC.” Someone else: “Wow. People will always see what they choose to see - make sure you just see the football.” “This is just so smart and impactful,” someone else commented. Another argued: “How fuming are the sexists going to be at this.” The Women’s World Cup starts on Thursday 20 July and is being held in the Oceanic regions of Australia and New Zealand.

Texas Rangers win first World Series title after 62 years of trying
The Texas Rangers have won baseball’s World Series for the first time after clinching a 4-1 series victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. A 5-0 win in game five sealed the series, capped off by a two-run home run from Marcus Semien in the ninth inning. Mitch Garver’s RBI single in the seventh inning opened the scoring after Corey Seager had claimed the Rangers first hit of the night, following six innings without one against Diamondbacks starter Zach Gallen. They stretched that to 3-0 in the ninth inning before Semien added the final blow. After splitting the first two matches of the series, the Rangers won all three of the games in Arizona as they went through the entire postseason unbeaten in 11 games on the road – an MLB record. Starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi, who won a World Series ring with the Boston Red Sox in 2018 and moved to the Rangers before the start of the season, threw six scoreless innings and the bullpen completed the job. Corey Seager became just the fourth player ever to win the World Series MVP award twice, alongside hall of famers Reggie Jackson, Sandy Koufax and Bob Gibson. The series win comes after 62 years of trying, having been formed in 1961, and 12 years after they were twice one strike away from winning against the St Louis Cardinals. It is a fourth success for manager Bruce Bochy, who won three World Series in charge of the San Francisco Giants – including victory over the Rangers in 2010.
